Chapter 2149 Reconciliation
Sunday, January 13.
New York, USA.
Fairy Company and GOOGLE held a simple press conference here, announcing that the two companies have reached a settlement agreement, and both GOOGLE and Fairy Company have canceled the prosecution against each other.
However, neither company said exactly how the settlement was settled.
Ordinary people are not interested in the inside story. Anyway, Dream Pad2 does not need to be banned, and the Android system does not need to be banned. For ordinary users, it is really a good thing, and it reduces too much trouble for everyone.
But for companies in some industries, the mystery of this is worth pondering.
Whoever compensates who and who makes concessions are all worth pondering. This is not only about economic interests, but also related to the internal status of the smart electronics industry.
A relatively common statement comes from an anonymous shareholder of GOOGLE. He said that GOOGLE released more than 300 map and traffic analysis patents to Fairy Company for free, and released more than 210 search engine patents for a fee.
Calculated, Fairy Company has obtained more than 1 billion US dollars of technology patents for free and cheaply.
Money is not a problem, the most important thing is that if it is not for the chokehold of GOOGLE this time, it is absolutely impossible for these patents to be released to Fairy Company.
Now GOOGLE has even opened up its most housekeeping skills to Fairy Company, which shows that GOOGLE has really made a big concession!
However, many people certainly don't know that Google is not as cheap as Xiao Qi. The Fairy Company has made a lot of promises and guarantees for this, all of which are written into the contract.
The maps and traffic analysis used by Fairy Company can only be used within the scope of Asia. If it exceeds the scope, the patents freely transferred by GOOGLE cannot be used.
The second point is the search engine patent, Fairy Company can only use it on the Fairy browser released by Fairy Company, and it is limited to the mobile phone search produced by Fairy Company.
It seems at first glance. GOOGLE has a lot of restrictions, but this is not beyond Xiao Qi's expectation. It has already allowed him to achieve his goal.
The map and traffic analysis patents granted by GOOGLE were originally intended to be used only in Asia.
Why?
Because Asia is relatively poor, except for China, Japan and South Korea, the rest are very weak. If you make a good satellite map of their countries, they dare not do anything.
Needless to say, Huaguo and South Korea, one is the home field. One is half home.
Japan is a bit troublesome, but Xiao Qi has many friends in Japan, such as Sun Zhenyi, Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic, etc., are all acquaintances, and this matter does not involve Japanese military secrets, etc., it is just a civilian version of the map. Naturally, there will not be too many obstacles.
But if you want to switch to Europe and America, it will be different. Try to get maps of Russia, Britain, the United States, and Germany?
Guaranteed to block you directly!
Even the two countries of Australia and New Zealand in Oceania are the same, both are the sphere of influence of European and American Caucasians. Xiao Qi is really not easy to do.
Speaking of which, a part of Russia is also in Asia, but Xiao Qi didn't intend to reach out there. The Tsar is not so easy to mess with. People don't need to be reasonable at all, and talk directly with the barrel of a gun.
As for Africa. It's too barren there, and there's no value for development, so it doesn't matter if you don't need it there.
Speaking of which, although Xiao Qi only got a territory in Asia, Xiao Qi also got a huge market with a population of 3.5 billion.
Among other things, the 1.5 billion Chinese people will use this map tool for driving navigation, traveling abroad, etc. in the future.
With the development of tourism in the future, Southeast Asia will become more and more a tool for people all over the world to travel because of its cheap prices, beautiful environment, and suitable climate. As long as everyone uses the map navigation tool of Fairy Company, the value of this map navigation market will be great.
It is estimated based on Alibaba’s acquisition of AutoNavi for US$1.1 billion in the future market. The Gaode map is just a relatively good map in Huaguo, not even the number one in Huaguo. If it is to be extended to the entire Asian region, it will at least be estimated at more than 5 billion US dollars.
The technical patents given by GOOGLE can support half of the map, and they gave at least 2 billion US dollars of technical patents to Xiao Qi for no reason. Xiao Qi should be happy.
The second search engine patent is the same as Apple's Safari browser. Although there is no way to get it out and market it separately, and it can't be used by other mobile phone users, it is very important to the richness of the entire Fairy system. Increase a lot of user viscosity and make users more agree with the entire Fairy system, so that when changing mobile phones, they can continue to buy mobile phones produced by Fairy Company.
Isn’t it the same in the previous life? More than 80% of the users who bought Apple mobile phones chose the next-generation iPhone without hesitation as their second and third mobile phone choices. The user loyalty far exceeds that of the No. Two Samsung.
There are of course various reasons, but the excellence of the entire system of the Apple system is definitely an important reason.
Isn't the excellence of a system supported by many excellent apps?
Is Fairy Browser such an excellent APP?
The limitation of GOOGLE just makes some special search methods and computing data available only to Fairy Browser, and the rest can’t be used or compared to GOOGLE browser.
Even a company as powerful and closed as Apple had to compromise with GOOGLE and bought some of their search engine patents at a high price, let alone other search browsers.
If Xiao Qi planned to use the fairy browser to go public, I am afraid that the impact will be greater. Now he has no such plan, and instead plans to go public with the fairy guard, the impact will be very small.
Therefore, in Xiao Qi's mind, this restriction that only the fairy system is allowed to use will not have a great impact on the fairy company, but the benefits are more.
Of course, the agreement between Xiao Qi and Google is not limited to these two items.
There are still many other cooperation agreements, so it is not something that others can know now. Only when the results of the cooperation are announced, everyone will know.
If Xiao Qi's prediction is not bad, he should just wait a few days, and when the Fairy Guardian is officially released, it will shock everyone.
Leaving aside this matter, the boy is very satisfied with this patent battle that cost more than hundreds of millions of dollars, and he is even more satisfied with Su Xiaomei who led this successful battle.
When Su Xiaomei came down from the press conference, Xiao Qi called her and explained that he would reward her well.
But Su Xiaomei said that she is very tired now, she just wants to go home early and have a good rest for a few days, and she doesn't think about anything else.
Hearing this answer, the charming appearance of this delicate and beautiful little woman emerged in Xiao Qi's mind. It is really a bit embarrassing that such a big beauty was sent to the United States to work for nearly two months.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that this girl often goes shopping for big purchases in the United States.
Although most of them are for others to see, to let them know that Fairy Company is confident and sure to win, but Su Xiaomei used WeChat to show off the results of her sweeping goods.
Girls have little resistance to bags, shoes and clothes when conditions permit.
With Xiao Qi's promise of reimbursement, Su Xiaomei was not polite to Xiao Qi. In the past two months, she spent at least 2 million US dollars on shopping, and there were at least five or six large boxes when she came back.
Of course, it's not that she doesn't know how to behave. She prepared gifts for girls like Yu Shanshan, Mi Jiayan, and Huo Zhuzhu. Anyway, Su Xiaomei can buy them without any burden because of the generosity of others.
But the so-called good and bad, good and bad always depend on each other.
Su Xiaomei used WeChat to post her results of sweeping goods. It was originally a small game between a group of sisters, but these WeChat messages were seen by her husband Lin Quanwei. It is said that the two had an argument on the phone. Many times, Su Xiaomei said that she felt tired, and there may be reasons for this.
After she finished the press conference, she had to rush back to China as soon as possible, also because she wanted to have a good talk with her husband.
pitiful.
It's really hard for such a delicate beauty to meet such a stingy and jealous man.
To say that their life is still the same as before, naturally there will be no such confusion.
But Su Xiaomei herself is unwilling to be lonely and likes to try to be a strong woman. After getting used to the boring office life for several years, she can even quit her job at customs, which shows how much she resists the ordinary and tasteless life. .
Su Xiaomei is capable and has a background, so it is normal to get ahead in the workplace.
Lin Quanwei is different. Although he is also a person with outstanding ability, he does not have enough heart and courage. To become the vice president of a foreign-funded enterprise has already performed very well.
Therefore, even without the catalytic effect of Fairy Company, it would be a matter of time before the couple had conflicts.
Of course Su Xiaomei is not a watery, Yanghua woman, and she doesn't know that Lin Quanwei is such a person. Seeing such a big conflict, she still wants to redeem it.
However, it is impossible for her to listen to Lin Quanwei for everything, after all, she has her own life plan, and she is not an accessory of Lin Quanwei.
In the situation where the difference between the two is getting bigger and bigger, but the other party cannot completely compromise, neither Xiao Qi nor Mi Jiayan has much confidence in Su Xiaomei's marriage.
I just don't know if Su Xiaomei has figured it out in her heart. (to be continued ~^~)
