Top of the big era

Seeing this posture, Li Zaiyong already knew that he could not get better results. "If this is the case, it will be difficult to form a joint force to encircle and suppress Ericsson."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "At least Samsung and Asda are cooperating and can have a greater say in negotiations."

"Samsung uses the present as a bargaining chip, and Asda uses the future as a bargaining chip. Samsung obviously contributes more. The results of the negotiation are shared by both parties." Lee Jae-yong didn't want to criticize him for trying to spread the pie, so he joked In a tone of voice, "We need equal pay for equal work. Isn't that what we are calling for now?"

Zhou Buqi shook his head and said: "The more uncertain it is, the more hopeful it is."

Li Zaeyong said: "The transaction of intellectual property is different from the Internet."

"Don't forget, Aisda will go to the UK to initiate a lawsuit next. Once there is a good result, it will be good for you too." Seeing that he still wanted to argue, Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "Ericsson suddenly applied for a lawsuit in India The ban has caused a serious blow to Asda’s brand and business. I will definitely not let them succeed.”

Li Zaiyong smiled and said: "Ericsson is Qualcomm's accomplice."

Zhou Buqi said: "Then we should teach them a lesson. I let Qualcomm succeed, but Ericsson will not make a penny on self-developed chips in the short term, which will ruin all Ericsson's plans. The distribution of benefits is not right." "

Li Zaiyong immediately understood the meaning.

On the surface, it creates discord between Qualcomm and Ericsson by benefiting them unequally. In fact, it is also hinting that if you care too much about the distribution of interests between Samsung and Asda, it is easy for this unformed cooperation to end.

There is nothing we can do about it.

Li Zaiyong could only accept it, saying that he should act as soon as possible, not to waste time, and quickly form a team to talk to Ericsson.

Zhou Buqi asked again: "What's the situation with Apple and Ericsson?"

Lee Jae-yong said: "It's just that Ericsson wants more money, saying that Apple has infringed on 41 of their patents. Isn't this also seeing the iPhone 6 completely break the circle? Sales have increased dramatically, and the previous terms are no longer valid." Satisfied.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Apple's self-developed chips are now in their eighth generation."

Li Zaiyong smiled and said: "Yes, in fact, Apple has been cooperating with Ericsson for seven years, and it has to pay a large amount of additional patent fees to Ericsson every year. But this time Ericsson wants more money, and this time they stepped forward and It’s a big help to Qualcomm.”

"It's a bit difficult for Apple."

Zhou Buqi could only mourn for Cook.

My heart says it’s none of my business.

Apple has encountered so many troubles one after another. It can only be said that Apple has made too much money, and everyone is jealous of the fat sheep.

Especially the iPhone 6 after changing the design concept may not have any breakthrough in terms of product artistry, and may even have declined. But in terms of market acceptance, iPhone6 ​​can be said to be very popular, and it has truly conquered the world.

After making so much money, you have to spit out some, right?

Li Zaiyong smiled and said: "So I said, we must reach an agreement with Ericsson as soon as possible. Let Ericsson focus more on Apple. Now Qualcomm, Nokia, and Ericsson all have strong intellectual property litigation with Apple. , are applying for a sales ban, which will be very troublesome for Apple.”

Zhou Buqi said "hmm".

But there is no schadenfreude.

It’s not because he holds a lot of Apple stock and pays hundreds of millions of dollars in patent fees a year, which will not have a crippling impact on Apple’s tens of billions of dollars in profits a year. But through this incident, we can feel the power of the existing global patent system.

Even if it is as strong as Apple, it still has to give in.

If Cook dares to show some "backbone" and doesn't care about their rules but enforces his own rules, the result will inevitably be a ban. Asda cannot do it, Samsung cannot do it, Apple cannot do it, Xiaomi, Lenovo, ZTE, etc., of course they cannot do it. In the face of the modern patent system that has dominated the world for decades, everyone has to give in!

If you don’t give in or pay, you will be banned from selling!

Do you dare to have the backbone to carry it on? Dare to be so far ahead and despise everything?

Legs are on sale for you!

The patent system established by these old capital empires based on their first-mover advantage has really had a great impact on the current scientific and technological civilization. Even if they are as powerful as Apple, they have to surrender and become their grandson.

If Asda wants to do business in those developed countries, it is really difficult to do business without following other people's rules.

Zhou Buqi sighed.

fine.

Fortunately, there are still domestic markets, as well as poor and backward regions such as Latin America and Africa, which have the opportunity to circumvent the world controlled by capital empires.

No matter how much restraint Nokia, Ericsson, etc. have, they can't control the Philco Group. As long as the Philco Group only makes low-end phones and doesn't try to make big money in developed markets. Or it could be said that Lao Yan has been very high-spirited recently, so he can just do the market aggressively, and there is no such thing as backstabbing.

…

Li Zaiyong said that one of his favorite domestic female stars is Tang Wei.

Zhou Buqi also wanted to arrange to invite Miss Tang to come over for dinner. Miss Tang's domestic acting career was blocked because of a large-scale movie, but she went to South Korea to develop her career. As a result, it got out of hand and became a disaster. She became the top actress in South Korea and swept all major awards.

Li Zaiyong didn't have much time, so he returned home without even eating dinner.

So much so that in the evening, Lao Zhang asked me out again.

""League of Legends" and "DOTA2" are the same kind of games, and they are also the same level of project teams in Changyou." Zhang Chaoyang saw him coming and quickly pulled him to sit down, "If we only work on the drama of "League of Legends" , but not filming "DOTA2" will cause internal imbalance and even cause great management risks. "

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "I think you are not satisfied with one project, right?"

Zhang Chaoyang said seriously: "I won't talk about anything else, but the stability of Changyou's management."

Zhou Buqi said: "Where are the achievements of "League of Legends"!"

"The report card of "League of Legends" is very beautiful, but this does not mean that "DOTA2" is a poor student. Among similar products in the world, "League of Legends" is first and "DOTA2" is second. "League of Legends" last year The revenue is US$1.5 billion, and “DOTA2” has a revenue of US$300 million.”

Zhang Chaoyang was eloquent.

Zhou Buqi looked at him strangely, "Who are you endorsing? Is there any executive who has taken care of you?"

Zhang Chaoyang said angrily: "Don't worry about anyone, am I right? "League of Legends" is very successful, but "DOTA2" is not a failure either. At least the global online football competition you are promoting is much better... …”

"Okay, okay, you don't want to open any pot." Zhou Buqi said with a black line on his forehead, "I think you just want to get more content resources for Sohu Video, and you are using Changyou to make profits for yourself!"
