Chapter 1117 HTC's Request for Cooperation

Seeing that Xiao Qi was very gentle, Wang Hong took out a mobile phone from her briefcase and handed it over: "Qi Shao, it's our first visit, we don't have any good gifts for you, here is a mobile phone from our htc, You see how it is."

Seeing this familiar chubby model, Xiao Qi couldn't help but smile, picked it up and asked, "Is this what you commonly call 'Afu Machine'?"

"Oh? Qi Shao even knows this?"

Wang Hong was really surprised this time.

Originally thought that Xiao Qi, a busy person with so many things to do every day, would be amazing to know his wife and htc, but he didn't expect that he even knew about this model that was released last month.

And looking at Xiao Qi's skillful keystrokes, it seems that he has played it before.

That's right.

Wang Hong's guess is right, Xiao Qi has indeed played with this "antique phone", it was in the flea electronics market in the previous life, Xiao Qi bought this intuitive touch screen phone, and even disassembled it to study it. .

"The mobile phone is a good mobile phone, with good functions and touch screen. If it is released a year ago, it will be very popular; if it is released two years ago, it will be a dominant mobile phone." Xiao Qi put it on with a smile On the table, "But now, its vitality is only two or three years at most, it is not born at the right time!"

"I don't think it's a pity." Cheng Wen suddenly added: "Things that should be eliminated should be swept into history. If you just keep complaining and regretting, you will never have a chance to catch up with the international advanced level."

As expected of a technical talent, he speaks so hard.

But I'm afraid it's his mentality that led htc to produce the world's first smartphone based on the Android system platform!

Samsung also abandoned its own system and switched to the Android camp after constantly hitting a wall.

Even one step ahead, htc still doesn't have as much power as samsung. So that although they were the leaders, they lost to the chasers who caught up later.

"I think our htc has its own unique technology, and we are also preparing to participate in the truly open platform - the Android mobile phone operating system. If we try our best to catch up, we may not be able to lose to Apple and Samsung." Wang Hong also said seriously, "Although Qi Shao, you are more familiar with the two of them and have more cooperation. But you only need to give us htc a chance, then we will give you more things in return!"

"Hehe, speaking of it, you are here to discuss cooperation this time?" Xiao Qi nodded slightly.

"If possible, we certainly hope to reach a cooperation with Qishao as soon as possible." Now that he said it, Wang Hong didn't hide it, "We know that Qishao has opened up many technical patents to Apple and Samsung. If htc If you want to enter the smartphone field. Patents in your hands are essential.”

Xiao Qi nodded again, "Wang Dong, you are right, but do you know that it is definitely not just your htc family who came to me to open up technology patents. Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson... and other companies, they have already I have been here, but I have not promised. We are talking about business, Wang Dong, why do you think that I will open this technology patent to you?"

Guo Taiming laughed.

He has also heard about this matter, and without exception, these mobile phone giants were rejected in front of Xiao Qi. It has aroused numerous conjectures in the mobile phone industry all over the world.

There are a few of the most reliable.

One is that both Apple and Samsung have to pay high patent licensing fees to Xiao Qi. According to industry estimates, at least it is between US$10-20 per mobile phone.

Of course, mobile phone companies such as Nokia and Motorola couldn't give Xiao Qi so much patent licensing fees, so things have come to a stalemate.

The second reason is that both Apple and Samsung are shareholders and partners of the "app store". The more their mobile phones are sold, the more beneficial it is for the sales of programs and games in the app store.

Xiao Qi, who owns 90% of the app store shares, of course hopes to make more money.

After all, it is impossible for companies such as Nokia and Motorola to enter the application store. They are more inclined to develop their own operating platforms, and develop various software and games by themselves.

Because they have the confidence, but they are too arrogant, thinking that Xiao Qi's app store is very easy to copy, and they can attract customers to their own app store only by relying on their huge global sales volume Come.

It's no wonder that Nokia's current shipments in 2007 will reach a terrifying 447 million units. With such a huge base of people, they are quite complacent, and they don't even bother with Apple's smart phones.

it is good.

The topic is off topic.

Wang Hong and Cheng Wen knew what Guo Taiming knew, but they still came, which proved that they had the conditions for Xiao Qi to agree.

"Qi Shao, if I give you 5% of the shares in HTC, can you open the technology patents to us?" Wang Hong said: "And for every HTC mobile phone, I will directly add 50% to how much Samsung gives you! "

Xiao Qi's eyes moved.

HTC's stock reached 36 billion US dollars at its peak. If 5% was given, Xiao Qi would have at least 1.8 billion US dollars when he cashed out at the highest point. many.

But after thinking about it carefully, Xiao Qi refused the temptation without hesitation: "I'm sorry, Director Wang, I can't agree."

"Why?" Wang Hong asked in surprise, "As long as you agree, 1 billion US dollars will be credited. And the more we sell, the more money you will make?"

"A lot of times, money is not the main thing." Xiao Qi didn't explain, but simply pointed out.

"I understand." Wang Hong said seriously, "Qi Shao, do you think htc will not succeed? So you don't want to deal with us?"

This woman's intuition is really sharp.

Xiao Qi sighed inwardly.

"htc may be successful, but I will not give any patent authorization to the Android camp manufacturers." Xiao Qi changed his way of speaking, "Our independent operating system camp and the Android camp are always enemies. .Unless you, Director Wang, can find another independent operating system, please forgive me for not being able to help."

"What if we have our own operating system?" Suddenly, Cheng Wen interrupted again, "We promise not to join the Android camp, so can you cooperate with us?"

"Oh?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Qi's eyes immediately became sharp. (To be continued..)
