Global Monopoly of Technology

The latest website: Pengcheng, Tengxun headquarters.

"Instant messaging has come to the next outlet. The user base of the mobile Internet is growing explosively. The layout here will determine our company's position in the social field, whether it will continue to consolidate, develop or exit."

The senior management meeting within Tengxun was in progress, and Brother Xiao Ma spoke with a serious expression.

The sense of crisis is always around for the heads of these big companies. The rapid change of the times makes them very anxious, even if they are already in the top ranks, because they are afraid of missing the opportunity and lose everything they have achieved today. Achievement.

The portal website was so powerful back then, and it was finally replaced by search engines. The ones who liked to be whipped out by the big guys the most were the decline of Yahoo and the rise of Google.

Xu Chenghua, who attended the meeting, took out a document and said: "The name 'WeChat' has been squatted."

Brother Xiao Ma immediately looked at him: "Is it squatted?"

Xu Chenghua nodded and said affirmatively, "And it's Bluestar Technology."

One of the executives who attended the meeting was stunned: "No way, is there such a coincidence? Could it be that the news has been leaked?"

Xu Chenghua shook his head: "No, because the registration time is earlier than our internal negotiation."

An executive said: "That's a coincidence, it's really quick to start, and it is certain that Bluestar Technology has quietly started to make new layouts, and its response speed is much faster than ours. Will it be creating a new social network again? product?"

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and it was obvious that this was very possible, even highly consistent with Teng Xun's upcoming strategy.

This is not good news.

Teng Xun has long been aware of the crisis. Brother Xiao Ma has asked Zhang Xiaolong and others to secretly develop a product, and it is carried out by multiple teams at the same time. Whoever comes up with the solution first will launch which team. This product is based on the main Mobile Internet social products.

"It was squatted, so I can only replace it with a new one, let's call it 'WeChat'." The taciturn little brother suddenly made a decision.

As a result, a new social product under Tengxun was decided.

And it is obvious that Bluestar Technology, a powerful competitor who is not afraid of the same, almost named "WeChat".

Tengxun's executive meeting ended quickly, establishing the company's new strategy.

In the era of the strong being strong, Bluestar Technology is the super overlord in the social field so far, and it is the number one player in this field to expand to the world. The advantages are self-evident.

Moreover, there are also advantages in technology. Tengxun's "WeChat" will be launched by the end of the year at the earliest, and Xiaomi's "MiTalk" is similar, but Bluestar Technology's "WeChat" will be online during the first half of the year.

With a huge user base and the launch almost half a year earlier than competitors, this is already a very good lead.

Not to mention Luo Sheng's foresight, this is the biggest disadvantage of competitors.

The field of instant messaging is about to enter a new round of melee. Whoever can stand out in the mobile Internet era can only be said to have a chance. This time, the main battlefield is no longer the PC Internet, but the mobile Internet.

...

On Wednesday, Peter Wernick, the head of the Dutch technology company Esmore A**L, had his special plane landed at Shencheng International Airport. He stayed at the hotel and rested for a night to reverse the time difference. The next day, he went to Sioux City to meet Luo Sheng. Meet.

The next day, in the Science and Technology Complex Building, Peter Wernick came here to meet with Luo Sheng.

That morning, the meeting between the two parties took place in the large living room. Qin Weimu was present, and Liu Yixuan, who was in charge of Xiongxin Electronics, was also present.

"Mr. Wernick, it was negotiated in November last year, and the contract has been initialed. The 45-nanometer lithography machine equipment will be delivered to Xiongxin Electronics in January this year. This has been delayed until February. What do you mean?" Luo Sheng went straight to the point and directly expressed his dissatisfaction.

Peter Wernick hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Luo, this is also the purpose of my trip. I said in my speech about the A**L annual results announcement that the 45-nanometer lithography equipment will be used. delivery, but the Dutch authorities are currently withholding the license to export the lithography equipment to China, which happened under pressure from the Americans, who claimed that it was a strategic product. At the same time, the Americans were also concerned about the export of lithography equipment from China. Competition, fear that delivery could lead to technology theft.”

The implication is that this is not my pot.

"Don't come to this set, the previous negotiation has been very clear, through the exchange of Fi patents, if you go back on it, then I also want to apologize, I can only take back all the patented technologies of Fi." Luo Sheng glanced at the other party lightly. , added: "Semiconductor chips cannot bypass Moore's Law. This patent system only exists in theory, but I can copy it with a lithography machine."

When he heard the last sentence, Peter Wernick smiled and said confidently: "No no, Mr. Luo, I can clearly point out that high-end lithography equipment can never be copied, if I guess correctly, your country There have been attempts to replicate a lithography machine, but have so far been unsuccessful. You can try to replicate the parts and then assemble them, but without the guidance of our systems engineers and software experts, the machine won’t work.”

Peter Wernick looked a little proud, only to see that he was very happy to further explain the reason why he was not afraid at all, saying:

"Mr. Luo, we are a system integrator, we integrate the technologies of hundreds of companies to serve our customers. A lithography machine is a machine made up of 80,000 parts, many of which are very complex. Take Zeiss as an example, We produce lenses, various mirrors and other optical components that no company in the world can imitate. In addition, our machines are fully equipped with sensors, and if an abnormal situation is detected, the headquarters will sound an alarm.”

Speaking of this, Peter Wernick became more and more inflated: "Maybe you have very good regulations, but it will never be possible to do this kind of operation secretly. You have to involve a lot of experts. If they are successful, they will bring a lot to the market. Chips from which the source could not be traced were eventually exposed. We have been monitoring market dynamics for a long time, and we are of course familiar with the intellectual property laws of each country where our products are exported.”

Luo Sheng immediately said: "You seem to have forgotten one point, Mr. Wernick, the future manufacturing industry is an era of overcapacity, and whoever has the potential to consume will have the right to bargain. And the place you are standing now is the world's largest chip consumer. The market, at the level of hundreds of billions of dollars, already accounts for more than 50% of the global chip consumption market, and it will increase further in the future. Since you are familiar with the intellectual property laws of each country, then there is no need for me to explain the laws of our country for you personally."

Wernick's smile suddenly disappeared, but he was relieved quickly and said with a smile: "Mr. Luo, don't worry, A**L treats customers all over the world equally, but according to the Wassenaar Agreement, A**L exports high-end lithography An export license from the Dutch authorities is required for the aircraft to arrive in China.”

The implication is that we A**L really want to sell, but we can't help ourselves.

However, Winick's attitude suddenly became euphemistic, and he didn't dare to say it too deadly. One of the key reasons was that the person in front of him who was negotiating with him was Luo Sheng, the most representative technology university in China and even in the world today. Coffee, his technology companies have created many world-leading technologies.

For example, Star-Cloud, which is proud of the world, is the number one player in the global cloud computing field, and the construction of the Fi patent barrier is beyond the expectations of people in the semiconductor industry, which caught SIA by surprise.

In fact, up to now, European and American semiconductor companies led by Intel can develop Fi-related technologies by themselves, but if the patent law is ignored, the impact on intellectual property rights is incalculable.

Intellectual property is the rules of the game formulated by Europeans and Americans, and it is the biggest beneficiary. It will never hurt. The resistance is unimaginable.

At the end, Luo Sheng exerted extremely strong reverse pressure: "Mr. Wernicke, I don't care why your factory caught fire or the reason why the Dutch authorities didn't have permission, I don't care, I only care if you don't pay before the end of the first quarter of this year. Goods, then I will definitely take back my patent, and at the same time develop my own lithography machine, at most three years, you can try it."
