"Zhang Dong, there is something to discuss with you." Liu Chuanzhi pulled Zhang Yang aside when everyone was in a hurry.
"What's the matter? It's Lianxiang Group, or Changchun Caijing? Want money or how?" Zhang Yang was holding a cigar in his mouth, talking and smoking smoke.
"Changchun Caijing's development last year was pretty good. With domestic orders, we can guarantee that we will not lose money, and besides, we have expanded many overseas market orders."
"The liquid crystal material technology in cooperation with BOE has also made breakthroughs, but if mass production is to be realized, it will be next year, so don’t worry."
"Lianxiang Group has also developed well in the past two years. The PC business has grown steadily. It is now third only in the industry after HP and Dell, and it is not far from the top two."
"HP currently has a 20% global market share, Dell has a 19% share, and we have a 17% share. In fact, the main reason is that the global PC market has declined. Many manufacturers have given forecasts that this year It will be down about 6% from last year."
Chapter Yang recalled the report I even wanted to see. Last year, the global PC market shipped 289 million units, more than 10 million units less than the 300 million units expected at the beginning of last year.
The most fundamental reason is that the economy is declining and many people are unemployed. What computer do they buy?
will decline again this year, and may eventually fail to reach 270 million units, even worse than in 2007. This time, not only for economic reasons, but also because the tablet PC occupies too much market share.
"Zhang Dong, we even want to be a tablet. We originally had a strategic cooperation agreement with Chaowei Eagle Weida and launched the APU core netbook, which sold well."
"However, the Zhiduoxing Group's tablet computer is really amazing. Last year, it sold more than 10 million units, which made all our manufacturers Q4, especially December sales plummeted."
"In the first quarter of this year, it seems that the impact is also very large. Especially netbooks, the most affected."
Zhang Yang squinted at Liu Chuanzhi: "What do you mean? Your products can't blame me for selling?"
Netbooks were originally a weakened notebook computer, the main function is to use the Internet, and the portability is not as good as tablet computers, it is reasonable to sell.
You guys are affected, I still think my tablet is affected. If you don’t make netbooks, my sales will at least double!
"I don't mean that, I just said that we want to be a tablet even if we want to, or all PC manufacturers want to be a tablet."
"It's just that you have applied for some patents before, we want to bypass, it will take at least half a year, and your product should be upgraded at that time?"
"We are testing something, and we want to launch a tablet computer, I am afraid it will be early next year, too slow. At that time, we have to compete with other PC manufacturers, and it will inevitably be very stressful."
"So I wonder if I can buy a patent license from Zhiduoxing? How much should I pay for it? I am absolutely unambiguous. We can also join forces to open the market for tablets."
Zhang Yang flicked the soot: "Join to open the market? Isn't the market open now? Our products are selling well? Last year's sales were more than 10 million units. This year it seems that even if there are no 30 million units, two More than 10 million units is also very easy."
"However, if you want to buy a patent, it is not impossible. I also have some requirements. The first one is the ordinary patent authorization. If you produce one, you will be required to pay us a 100 RMB patent authorization fee. Isn't this too much?"
"Not much, not much." Liu Chuanzhi was delighted, so that they would save their R&D time and costs, and they would definitely not lose.
"Second, you will share with us the tablet technology you developed later."
Liu Chuanzhi hesitated. Listening to Zhang Yang's meaning is free for Zhiduoxing. R&D costs are not small, isn't Zhiduoxing cheap to pick up?
"It's not over yet, I will get some technical authorization from you now, and allow us to upgrade the technology."
Zhang Yang wanted the most from Lianxiang, which is the fingerprint unlocking technology. This was acquired by Lianxiang Group from IBM.
can be used not only on tablets but also on smartphones. Even if it is used in the future, it will be no problem. This is also the standard technology of the previous life.
Zhiduoxing's own research and development is too costly, and it is necessary to bypass the other party's patent barriers. It is better to take it directly and use it, just upgrade it a little.
"Zhang Dong, your first condition, I can agree now, but will you still license to other manufacturers? The second condition I would like to ask, if you develop new technology, can you share it with us? There is a third condition. If you want our technology to be authorized, can you give us a patent fee?"
"Do you think the patents in your hands are valuable, or the patents in my tablet are valuable? I can find any PC manufacturer to cooperate, I believe no one will refuse. Even I can find some ODM manufacturers, OEM manufacturers to cooperate, they will also be very willing."
"My patent licensing fee has been discounted for you, otherwise it is not one hundred RMB, but one hundred dollars!"
"You also said that now is the chance for Lianxiang Group to become the first in the world. If you have a tablet and count this part of the statistics, you are very likely to become the world's first this year. What does this mean for Lianxiang? "
"I don’t need any technology~EbookFREE.me~ I only need three of your patents, but I require all patents to be open to us to choose. And Zhiduoxing has no intention of making computers, otherwise you think we do Can't you get a good PC?"
There are Chaowei Eagle Weida, and then cooperate with ODM manufacturers, Zhiduoxing is easier to produce computers than Moscow Electronics. Even if you don’t get the industry first, you can make money.
"But, but..."
Liu Chuanzhi still felt that such a condition was acceptable, and even thought too passive. But he couldn't find any rebuttal. He didn't agree, and some companies were waiting to agree.
"Old Liu, please go back and think about it, and give me an answer tomorrow. You will not agree on this side, I think Moscow Electronics will definitely agree." Zhang Yang Youyou said.
"Zhang Dong, after you agree with me, you can no longer license patents to other companies." Liu Chuanzhi said quickly.
If the two companies divide the market, even if he scores less, it is not as good as Zhiduoxing. He can sell 10 million units a year, and millions of units can make money. But if all the ten and eight are done, how much can you even think about in that year?
"I can only promise you that in this year's market, in addition to our Zhiduoxing and Lianxiang, there will be no other brands of tablets. If you license to other manufacturers in the future, your licensing fees can also be reduced appropriately."
