Chapter 1653 Hooligans and Good Guys

? For Jordan Wells in Maryland, who was excited and happy to receive this big surprise, to realize his dream, and to be proud and grateful for his idol, Andy, a 'good man', did not have time for this Paying too much attention to things.

It's not that he doesn't want to see his fans, it's mainly because of this kind of small wish, which is really a small matter for him.

Of course, he can also imagine how excited and happy the girl will be. To be honest, his accumulation of wealth has become a pure numbers game, giving benefits to fans, although there is a bit of his own evil taste in it, I hope The fate of some people can be changed or reversed because of his small acts of kindness.

He has never considered to be appreciated by others, let alone to earn a good reputation among fans, to be hyped by the media, etc., but he still hopes that his small acts of kindness can make people happy, share his happiness, and gain from it. Make yourself happy too.

San Diego, California.

"... Nokia, Ericsson and other six companies that complained to the EU made some concessions in the negotiations, but they still hope that we can lower patent fees.

Bangzi officials still insist that we treat customers differently, charge higher fees to some of them, and refuse to terminate the anti-monopoly investigation. . . "

In the conference room of Qualcomm headquarters, Andy listened to the report of Qualcomm's legal department. As the only technology company in the world with more lawyers than engineers, Qualcomm's legal department is definitely the most well-staffed and busiest department.

Well, basically, Qualcomm's legal department has never been idle.

Of course, these two antitrust investigations are just two of the most influential in a series of Qualcomm lawsuits. In the various lawsuits that Qualcomm faces, there are also winners and losers. For example, it paid Broadcom nearly 900 million U.S. dollars in the past two years.

To be honest, if an ordinary IT company does nothing else all day long, just goes to court, and pays out hundreds of millions of dollars if it loses, it would have changed its business thinking a long time ago, but Qualcomm just didn't. It is to hire a large number of professional lawyer teams to specialize in these matters.

"Now is the 3G era!"

The corners of Andy's mouth raised, and after scanning the faces of Qualcomm executives in the conference room for a week, he said meaningfully.

Yes, now is the 3G era. In the previous 2G era, it was dominated by GSM. At that time, Qualcomm did not have any monopoly right to speak.

But now, it's completely different,

No matter what CDMA, CDMA2000. . . These 3G standards are all closely related to CDMA.

Therefore, any manufacturer involved in 3G technology in any country cannot bypass their Qualcomm patented technology. After coming down to discuss the signal, he agreed without hesitation.

As for Bangzi, Andy is very clear about the narrow thinking of the Bangzi government, so he quickly made a decision, "Since you don't want to face it, let them investigate, even if they lose as expected, they don't Want to get the fine, keep appealing!

By the way, the public relations department can increase its lobbying in Washington, contact the mainstream media, and teach the sticks a lesson. They are trade protectionism. Last week, at the G7 finance ministers and central bank governors meeting, all countries emphasized their opposition Trade protectionism, combined with the entire semiconductor industry of Four Star Company, this is obviously local protection! "

"Okay, Chairman."

Andy glanced at the head of the public relations department who responded hastily, and nodded in satisfaction. It is imperative to teach Bangzi a lesson.

Although Qualcomm's Qualcomm tax is indeed very rogue, many countries and manufacturers hate it.

You must know that one of the three overlord clauses of the Qualcomm tax is that the patent fee is charged at 5% based on the overall base.

In other words, a $100 mobile phone needs to pay Qualcomm $5, even if an airplane is built worth $1 billion, as long as Qualcomm's chips are used, Qualcomm will have to pay $50 million. . . . . .

It's definitely dark and ruthless!

Andy is very clear about these situations, but he will never change them. You must know that this is a wise decision made by Qualcomm in the early days, and it is a very, very important job for Andy, who has become the chairman. A precious legacy, isn't that what he bought Qualcomm for?

Now Stick Noodles wants to challenge Qualcomm's "standards" and don't chop off the sticky claws. In the future, more countries will be jealous of Qualcomm taxes, conduct anti-monopoly investigations on Qualcomm, and impose "fines".

In particular, the local protection of Bangzi has always been considered as one of the "Bangzi's characteristics". Of course, this can also be considered as a kind of patriotic psychology of Bangzi, which is formed to protect the country's culture and economy.

But in the high-tech fields such as mobile phones, although they have the first and second echelon mobile phone manufacturers such as Four Star and LG, they still face a severe risk of being invaded.

Not to mention that Qualcomm was targeted by the government of Bangzi Country with anti-monopoly weapons, even Apple was treated in the same way, even worse than Qualcomm.

Due to the popularity of icrazy mobile phones in the world, Apple's Bangzi division is currently under investigation by anti-monopoly agencies. The Bangzi government claims that Apple is suspected of forcing operators to sign unequal treaties.

Because the contracts that Apple forces operators to sign in Bangzi Country contain various "minimum sales" figures. This is also the reason why Apple was investigated by the French anti-monopoly agency earlier. In fact, it is essentially because such an operator agreement has affected the sales of local mobile phones.

Carrier underwriting, channel underwriting, do you have a familiar feeling?

After the two-hour meeting, Andy returned to the chairman's office, spent another hour, and interviewed ten assistants, leaving five of them to form his assistant team at Qualcomm, so that he could remotely control the phone at any time when he was away. command.

Of course, I chose an assistant with absolute professional ability. After all, a personal assistant, Tory Black is enough.

Near noon, Andy finished his work, took the bodyguards to the apron on the roof, got into the helicopter, and flew to his mansion in Liberty City.

Da da da--

Ivana stood on the viewing platform made of steel and glass, with long blond hair and a sky blue floral dress fluttering with the sea breeze. The helicopter slowly landed in the air. After it came to a complete stop, Andy stepped off the helicopter, and Ivana, who pursed her lips and smiled, waved her hand.

"Beep--"

Andy walked quickly into the mansion while changing the phone mode, and soon the notification tone of WhatsApp sounded.

"...'Oh, my god... woohoo, my god, God, this is just... woohoo...'."

Looking at the girl in the video who couldn't help being excited and happy, Andy showed the same happy smile on his face.

Gifts of roses, hand a fragrance!

"Honey, what makes you so happy?"

At this time, Ivana just came down from the stairs, and saw Andy smiling very happily at the phone, with a sunny smile.

"The girl in Maryland received the surprise we gave her. This video is a picture taken by her family..." Andy handed the phone to Ivana.

Ivana smiled sweetly, watching everything that happened after receiving the letter from Jordan Wells in the video, the smile on her face became more gentle and sweet.

"Giving happiness to others is the best way to reap happiness, and those who sow happiness are the easiest to get happiness themselves.

Honey, you're a nice guy!"

Andy shook his head and laughed, stretched his arms around Ivana's waist, and kissed her red chun intimately.

"Tread—"

At this time, Martin came in from outside the house, and said to Andy who was looking at him: "Boss, the two pickups you wanted have arrived, and there is also a flatbed trailer."

Ivana raised her eyebrows and looked at Andy, and Andy shook his head with a smile and explained: "You can't really use supercars all the time, you still have six or seven hundred luggage bags, to be honest, I'm also crazy, obviously I can use them For the trailer, why am I carrying it with both hands..."

"Pfft—"

"Hehe..." Ivana couldn't help laughing coquettishly, and the branches of the smile trembled wildly.
