Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-Three: Patent Licensing
"Is President Liu back?"
"not yet."
"Did Mr. Liu convey any instructions to the company these days?"
"nor."
Back at Lenovo headquarters, Yang Yuanqing felt up and down in his heart.
The last time Liu Chuanzhi refused to answer the phone gave him a strong warning.
He knew that this was not accidentally pressed by Liu Chuanzhi.
The reason why there is no movement yet, Yang Yuanqing understands that this is his last chance.
If he can't handle this matter properly in the future, then the issue of his succession really needs to be carefully considered.
Seeing Yang Yuanqing's bad face, the assistant hesitated, but still said, "Mr. Yang, there is another bad news."
"Say."
"Unicom also placed an order for Huanyu Technology and asked them for 500,000 mobile phones."
"I……"
Yang Yuanqing almost fainted.
Moving a family is enough for them, but they didn't expect China Unicom to get involved.
"Call Zhang Qing from the R&D department over here."
Yang Yuanqing forced himself to calm down.
He knew that the more urgent it was, the more he needed to be calm.
It's not the worst time yet, he still has a chance.
"Mr. Yang, are you calling me?"
"Have you paid attention to the mid-range mobile phones of Huanyu Technology?"
"Mr. Yang, this mobile phone in my hand is a mid-range mobile phone launched by Huanyu Technology."
Guessing what Yang Yuanqing meant by calling him over, Zhang Qing took out a mobile phone and handed it to Yang Yuanqing.
"It looks normal."
Yang Yuanqing watched it roughly.
This mobile phone is undoubtedly much better than the Tianyu mobile phone launched by Huanyu Technology before.
All aspects are also more refined.
However, in the end it is a mid-range mobile phone, and 1,200 yuan is not a small amount.
It is normal to have this kind of work.
"Huanyu Technology just took away the 1.5 million orders combined by China Mobile and China Unicom?"
1.5 million is not a small number.
Even if Universal Technology does not need distributors, they can enter the market with the help of China Unicom.
And this is a mid-range phone.
They had been discussing the containment of Huanyu Technology before, but they did not expect that in the end, Huanyu Technology would go directly to the market.
"Mr. Yang, Huanyu Technology doesn't have much innovation in appearance, and it doesn't have many advantages over our Lenovo mobile phones and mobile phones from other manufacturers. However, they have a very innovative feature, dual SIM and dual standby."
"What does dual card dual standby mean?"
"Simply put, a phone can hold two SIM cards."
"I know that Nubia seemed to have such a function before, but it was not popular in the market."
"Mr. Yang, they have improved this function. Although Nubia can install two cards in one mobile phone before, it is actually dual-card single standby..."
Zhang Qing explained to Yang Yuanqing the meaning of dual card dual standby.
After flipping through the explanation, Yang Yuanqing finally understood why China Mobile and China Unicom did this.
It's not that they really want to help Huanyu Technology.
It's not what Huanyu Technology used.
In fact, this dual-card dual-standby service can greatly increase the business of China Mobile and China Unicom.
"Zhang Qing, we will develop this function immediately."
Almost subconsciously, Yang Yuanqing ordered.
If Lenovo can also develop the function of dual card dual standby, then they can save this game.
And with their association, under the same function, China Mobile and China Unicom will definitely consider them.
It's just that Yang Yuanqing thought so, but Zhang Qing shook his head: "Mr. Yang, the development of this function will take a certain amount of time."
"how long will it takes."
"As short as half a year, as long as a year."
"No, it's too long."
Yang Yuanqing shook his head.
The replacement of mobile phones is too fast. In half a year and a year, others have already seized the market.
"Could it be faster."
"this……"
Zhang Qing shook his head helplessly: "Although this function doesn't seem complicated,
But it is not easy to develop. The best way is to buy the patent license of Huanyu Technology, so that one month is enough for us. "
"How could they possibly sell."
Yang Yuanqing snorted.
How could Huanyu Technology not know about such a killer.
No matter how much money you spend, they won't sell it.
Replaced by their association, the same is true.
"You go out first, I'll think about it."
After calling Zhang Qing away, Yang Yuanqing contacted the heads of various mobile phone manufacturers.
"Mr. Yang, dual-card dual-standby business, can you develop it there?"
"Yes, yes, but it will take time."
"how long?"
"At least half a year."
"Half a year is too long."
Obviously, Yang Yuanqing is just a contact, and other mobile phone manufacturers have also paid attention to dual card dual standby.
Although this function is not complicated in technology, each company has the strength to develop it, but it takes time to develop it.
It doesn't matter if it's before that.
However, if Huanyu Technology first seized the market, and waited for them to develop it, it would be too far behind.
"I heard that Nubia has dual-card single-standby technology, can we buy their patent license, and then continue to develop on this basis."
"It is theoretically possible, but I asked about the technology here. Even if I buy Nubia's patent license, it will take at least three months."
"Three months is still too long."
Electronic products are updated every two months.
Not to mention mobile phones.
Of course, it doesn't stop there.
The key is that Huanyu Technology has now bound two god-level distributors, China Mobile and China Unicom.
With their help secretly, in three months, they can completely seize more than half of the market.
Until then, when they come up with this so-called dual card dual standby, it will hardly work.
"Would you like to ask Huanyu Technology?"
"You think they'll sell?"
"It's unlikely, but who knows, and we can raise the price a little bit, maybe they'll be tempted. Also, we can make a deal with them."
"Also. However, we, Lenovo and Huanyu Technology, have a deadlock. "
"It's okay, I'll ask this here."
After finishing the call with Bird Xu Lihua, Xu Lihua was ready to go to Huanyu Technology.
However, it was not what they thought.
In fact, before Yang Yuanqing and Xu Lihua, Universal Technology had discussed this issue.
Regarding the patent authorization of dual card dual standby, Chen Yu has already made up his mind.
Of course it's for sale.
Not only to sell, but also to sell quickly.
Why sell.
In addition to patent licensing can be a significant source of funding.
The biggest advantage is that you can take this opportunity to start building the mobile phone ecosystem of Huanyu Technology.
Yes.
What Chen Yu wants to do is not an ordinary mobile phone.
What Chen Yu wants to do is the entire mobile phone industry chain.
Not only the industry chain, but also the entire mobile phone ecosystem.
In order to be ecological, all mobile phone manufacturers and all mobile phone software companies should be bound to their own side.
For example, like this dual card dual standby patent.
You used my patent, so I have to make the series of specifications.
In addition to these, the latter series of software related to the dual-card dual-standby function must follow the specifications of Universal Technology.
Invisibly, this enhances the soft power of Huanyu Technology, and also secretly creates its own ecology.
Just like apples.
Apple relies on his ipone to make countless companies work for them.
In this way, they still want to compete with themselves in the future?
Sorry, as long as you are in my ecosystem, you will not even be eligible to compete with me in the future.
At most, you can only work for me.
And, there is another benefit.
When all the mobile phone companies are bound to his own, Chen Yu also has the power to dominate the fate of others.
