Chapter five hundred and eighty first never board a broken ship

Griffin is a veteran of Motorola. He almost grew up watching mobile phones, a new thing at the time.

Xiao Qi's DreamPad can be compared with the first analog cellular phone, and it is said by a witness of the history of that year. Even a young man feels that he should be indifferent to fame and fortune, and he also has a feeling of excitement.

But at this moment in the negotiation field, Griffin is not a good person. With a few compliments, he wants to expose Xiao Qi's true nature as a hot-blooded young man, but his skills are still not enough.

Xiao Qi nodded, still smiling and said: "I'm honored, thank you for your praise."

Seeing that his boast failed, Griffin was not discouraged and continued with a smile on his face: "In half an hour, the dinner will start, and I won't mince words. Mr. Xiao, we at Motorola intend to join forces with you.

Let’s create brilliance together, what do you think?”

Create brilliance together?

Are you looking for someone to support you before you die?

Xiao Qi couldn't help but feel a twitch in his heart. As soon as the iPhone appeared, Motorola's life would be like Wang Xiaoer's Chinese New Year. Every year would be worse than the last, and a few years later it would end up being acquired by Google.

How dare you board a ship with such a company?

You must run far away to be safe!

Xiao Qi looked at him sincerely and said: "Mr. Griffin, you also know that the current situation of DreamPad is very good, and I have sufficient funds in my hands. I have no plans to cooperate with other companies. I will definitely wait for the opportunity in the future.

We will look for cooperation with famous big companies like Motorola."

"Well, you rejected Citigroup, Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs. Is this the same reason?" Griffin asked.

"Yes, but it's not a reason, it's a fact."

"Mr. Xiao, if you insist on only making tablet computers, I won't say this. But are you really willing to only make tablet computers?"

"Oh? Mr. Griffin means..."

Although he knew that Xiao Qi was pretending to be stupid, Griffin still ignored him and said sternly: "Tablet computers have ushered in the era of intelligence. This is your great contribution! But no matter how good tablet computers are, they still have inherent fatal flaws! Then

It's just that it's too big to carry around, and it doesn't have suitable communication functions. Therefore, when faced with the aggressive IPHONE smartphone, it will be at a disadvantage both in terms of sales and profits. And with the advent of smart phones, it will be at a disadvantage.

With the development of electronic products, this gap will become more and more obvious, and it will eventually defeat your efforts!"

Xiao Qi couldn't help but nodded.

Griffin is very smart and saw the inherent disadvantages of tablet computers at a glance.

In the future, IPHONE will be able to reach sales of 40 million units in a quarter, while the maximum sales volume of the IPAD series in a year is only about 30 million units. The difference between the two is definitely not the slightest bit.

But who told Xiao Qiwan to be reborn for so many years?

If he were reborn in 2000, Xiao Qi would definitely choose iPhone without hesitation, but he was reborn in 2005. IPHONE had already entered a substantial development stage, and he could only choose IPAD.

However, there is one thing that Griffin did not expect, that is, the IPAD will definitely make less money than the IPHONE, but this is not the case with the DreamPad.

Anthony, who stayed in California, was reporting to Xiao Qi on the patent royalty negotiations every day, and now the preliminary results have been roughly finalized.

After fierce negotiations, with the guiding patent price given by Xiao Qi, Apple, which used more than 20 patents from Fairy Company, had to pay a patent fee of US$8 for each iPhone to Mingxiang Holdings and Qi, even if it was offset by its own patents.

Lottery investment.

This means that for every iPhone sold, 8 US dollars goes to Xiao Qi.

With this income alone, Xiao Qi can make up for part of the profit gap with IPHONE, not to mention that Xiao Qi has other ways to increase profits.

Looking at Xiao Qi who seemed to be deep in thought, Griffin struck a chord while the iron was hot: "If Mr. Xiao decides to enter the smartphone industry in the future, we at Motorola will be your best partner! We have the world's largest service system and strong technology.

Strength, and even more powerful connections, these are the ultimate weapons to help you thrive in the smartphone industry!"

Xiao Qi smiled, "With Motorola joining us, can we defeat iPhone?"

"As long as we work hard, what can't we achieve?" Griffin patted his chest and said, "You have reached a patent interoperability agreement with Apple, and we can freely design new mobile phones. In this regard, Motorola Global Digital

Thousands of design engineers are waiting to serve you!"

He said it very beautifully, but Xiao Qi was still not tempted at all.

If it's Nokia, you can consider it. The patents they have accumulated in mobile phones are almost five times more than Motorola's, especially in smart phones and touch phones, they have a lot of patents.

Even in the future, the annual royalties paid to them by Gang Leader Qiao have exceeded Nokia's own mobile phone profit income.

Not to mention smartphones, it is now tablet computers. When Xiao Qi paid the patent fees for the Dream Chip, part of it was also transferred from ARM to Nokia.

For Broadcom's wireless chips, half of the patent fees are transferred to Nokia and Ericsson. You can imagine how strong Nokia's technology patents are.

As for Motorola...

In terms of patents, he is simply a miserable character.

Therefore, Nokia was still able to survive in 2013. Motorola was acquired by Google in 2011, and the end was very disappointing.

Looking back at the expectant old man, Xiao Qi couldn't bear it, but he also said: "Mr. Griffin, cooperation is a decision that requires serious consideration. After I go back, I will urge the company's strategy department to seriously consider this.

Proposal, but now I can’t give you any guarantee.”

When Griffin saw Xiao Qi's determined expression, his heart sank.

He had already thought that with Apple's patent support and his own patent accumulation in the field of smart electronic products, it would be very easy for Xiao Qi to obtain various patent authorizations for mobile phones.

The reason is very simple. As long as you want to enter the smartphone market, you must obtain Xiao Qi's consent, otherwise the patent will never be passed!

In order to gain Xiao Qi's support, Nokia, Samsung, Ericsson and even Motorola themselves had to open their patents to Xiao Qi accordingly.

In this case, what other collaborators does Xiao Qi need?

You can make your own smartphone!

I just didn't expect that a young boy like him could be so calm and unmoved when faced with the olive branch offered by such a behemoth as Motorola mobile phone.
