Chapter 1344 Cunning! Juvenile!

For Gao Chuanhuishu's performance so upright, Xiao Qi smiled secretly.

You know, among all electronic technology companies, Ericsson is definitely an inspirational miracle. In a sense, this level is no less than that of an apple that has turned from a salted fish.

In fact, the quality of Ericsson mobile phones was very good at the beginning, and the sales volume was also very good. Together with Motorola and Nokia, they were called the three heroes.

But later, Ericsson mobile phones made a variety of non-technical mistakes, that is, mistakes that have nothing to do with their technical capabilities, such as slow response to the market, not paying attention to emerging markets, not knowing how to develop three-dimensional production lines...etc. And so on, it ended up merging with Sony mobile phone in 2001, and after 2011, it was wholly acquired by Sony. Since then, the term Ericsson mobile phone has become history.

Thought this was the end?

Do not!

What Ericsson failed was its mobile phone, but it holds an unimaginable patent family. There are more than 3,000 patents for mobile phones alone, and more than 2,000 patents for smartphone operations.

More importantly, Ericsson has cutting-edge technology patents from wireless access to wireless local area networks, etc., simply put, it is the technology patents of 3G network and wireless wifi network, including wireless base stations, switches and transmission equipment, and Nortel Networks. The two overlords of the world.

Especially in 2009, after Ericsson purchased the mobile communication equipment manufacturing patents of the bankrupt Nortel Networks, it became the world's unique provider of wireless network infrastructure equipment. Every wireless base station equipment and routing switch produced , Optical fiber transmission equipment, must pay patent fees for it.

By 2010, Ericsson's net profit on these patent fees reached 600 million U.S. dollars, and it was increasing every year. In 2013, it even exceeded the sky-high figure of 2 billion U.S. dollars!

You can make money comfortably by collecting patent fees. Compared with those manufacturers of mobile phones and production equipment that are exhausted, Ericsson's small life is not to mention how moist it is, and it has completely turned over in this industry.

Xiao Qi is very interested in their mobile phone patents. For things like mobile phone patents, the more the better, Xiao Qi hopes that every company will use its own patents to make mobile phones in the future. And the most important thing is that you don't have to be stuck by others in what you do.

Xiao Qi is also very interested in Ericsson's wireless technology. This is combined with Nortel's wcdma department. I dare not say that Xiao Qi also enjoys a patent income of 2 billion U.S. dollars a year, but at least 1 billion U.S. dollars a year It is proper.

Of course, Ericsson will definitely not be sold out, and will leave its own territory, such as Europe allocated to them, and even the price of the two is high. At least it must be around 1 billion to 2 billion US dollars.

But no one knows better than Xiao Qi how crazy the wireless network era will be in the future. Using the most optimistic guesses to predict the future is a huge underestimation of the future.

So the price of these acquisitions is worth it, and it will be a great help to my future mobile phone industry layout.

But it's not good for Xiao Qi to do this kind of thing. It just so happens that Sony has been buying back 50% of the joint venture company's shares in the past few years, especially the name "Sony Ericsson", which is long and smelly. It's an insult to the Sony brand.

Therefore, Xiao Qi asked Sony, Ericsson's partner, to come forward, which is perfect. At that time, Sony will resell it to Xiao Qi, and no one else can control it.

As for the shares in the app store, Xiao Qi originally only planned to share them with Apple and Samsung.

But recently he thought about it, it might be a good thing to introduce one or two partners appropriately.

On the one hand, it can increase the strength of the entire camp and combat the future strength of the Android system.

On the other hand, it can also make power more decentralized. It is unlikely that after promising to increase the shares of Apple and Samsung in the future, the two companies will join forces to compete with Xiao Qi for control. ——Unless you hold 100% of the shares, the amount of shares is not the ultimate condition for absolute control. In the final analysis, it still depends on your own talents and strategies.

I pondered for a while. Xiao Qi shook his head, "Forget it, Ericsson's group of people are dead-headed, I guess you can't do it... just forget it!"

"No, no!" Gao Chuanhuishu said reluctantly: "Sony has been discussing this matter with Ericsson. If you want Mr. Xiao, then Sony will buy it for you!"

His attitude is very firm.

Sony cannot fall behind the entire era. The Gaochuan family and the Morita family are the two major controlling families, and they cannot lose the foundation passed down from their ancestors.

The significance of the app store is completely greater than the mobile phone industry. It will be the central focus of various smart electronic products in the future. As long as it can be taken down, Sony's prosperity will be guaranteed for at least 30 years in the future.

"Then, I won't be polite." Xiao Qi became serious: "I want Ericsson's mobile phone patents, as well as patents in the wireless field. They can keep the European patent coverage area, but the American and Asian patents must belong to me. .”

Gao Chuanhuishu's eyes widened when he heard that, "All?"

"As long as you can buy it, you want it all!" Xiao Qi nodded, "It's about 1 billion to 2 billion US dollars. If Sony can help you buy it, then the price will be according to what you said, and these patents can be offset from it." buckle."

"I see!"

Gao Chuan Huishu nodded seriously, screaming in his heart that it was too difficult, but there was nothing he could do.

Although Ericsson has long been lonely, the sudden outbreak of 3G and wireless networks has given them the hope of rising again. Under such good expectations, how can it be so easy to sell their core patents?

Fortunately, Xiao Qi is not so unreasonable, leaving Ericsson with the European market. If it is required to transfer patents on a global scale, Ericsson probably will not even talk about it.

Sony has more than 1,000 mobile phone patents in its hands, but this has already been authorized to Fairy Company in the exchange of smart tablet computer patents with Fairy Company.

But think about it, if it could be done too easily, then Xiao Qi's app store shares would have been bought up long ago.

It seems that it is time to step up public relations efforts for the important personnel of Ericsson!

Thinking of the greed and lust of Ericsson's group of board members, Takakawa Huiki would not feel that there was nothing he could do.

At the same time, one of Sony's masters sincerely hopes that he can get it with just a little more money! (To be continued..)
