Chapter 817
Seeing the atmosphere in the entire conference room eased, Harry Potter sighed and said, "Everyone, everyone was angry just now, and I also had my own little plan, so I cheated everyone!"
"But I think everyone should calm down now, so I will tell you my heart. Then everyone will understand my hard work!" Harry Potter said. "President Albert is right. If there were no big chickens, we Qualcomm could indeed swallow the entire CDMA market. No company in the world can compete with us Qualcomm on CDMA!"
"But have you ever thought about a question, that is, if Daqian and Warwick were not available, the Chinese market would also be occupied by GSM. Daqian and I were negotiating a month ago, so I know very clearly how much effort, effort, and money it took for Daqian to successfully deploy CDMA!"
Next, Harry Potter told everyone about how Daqian managed the market. Only then did everyone realize that the Chinese market did not emerge out of thin air, but was managed by Daqian and Warwick.
No one is a fool. If it weren't for Daqian and Warwick, China would definitely not use cdma, but would choose gsm, which is now almost an international standard.
"In fact, we can also plan China like Daqian!" A director said unconvincedly.
"Haha, everyone, to be honest, if it weren't for learning that Warwick sold CDMA base stations in China, who has really paid attention to the Chinese market? We, Qualcomm, have a branch in China, even if there is only one regional manager?" Harry Potter asked, and everyone shut up their mouths in an instant.
Yes, they have never really cared about the Chinese market. In their ideas, China is just a poor place, similar to the Indian tribe. How could China engage in mobile communications?
If Nokia hadn't suddenly appeared this time, they wouldn't have known that China still had such a huge market!
"If we don't know the Chinese market, it is impossible to operate the Chinese market. Not to mention that we are foreign parties and do not understand the national conditions of China at all. Without local enterprises like Daqian and Warwick, China would never have been able to do CDMA."
"So we need to see through the essence of things, that is, Daqian and Warwick actually helped us develop the market. If Warwick and Daqian cannot get CDMA, we will not have a Chinese market!"
"This is why I am willing to sign a contract with Daqian!" Harry Potter sighed, "At that time, Daqian clearly told me that if I could not obtain the patent authorization of CDMA, then Daqian would never be able to develop a CDMA base station in China, and Daqian could only turn to GSM's arms. If so, where can we have the market for China?"
"Now, I authorized the patent to Daqian, and Daqian successfully opened up the Chinese market. At the same time, Daqian and Warwick wrote very clearly in the contract that Qualcomm can also sell in China, and both parties can compete fairly. In this way, Daqian is equivalent to helping our Qualcomm open the Chinese market. At that time, everyone will confront each other in the Chinese market. Are we American business elites still afraid of competing with a group of local buns?" Harry Potter's words caused a burst of laughter in the conference room, and everyone's mood improved a lot.
"In addition, Daqian still gave $300 million. Although it is not as huge as the $2 billion we asked for, this number is not much. 300 million entered Qualcomm, which is like a long drought. In fact, our Qualcomm book has only less than $5 million left. If this continues, unless new people inject capital, Qualcomm may not be able to operate it!"
"I here assure you that of the 300 million US dollars, except for the funds given to everyone, the remaining 255 million US dollars will be invested in Qualcomm's daily operations and development. In this way, we, Qualcomm, will not have to worry about funds for at least two years? Wouldn't this borrow the enemy's hands and funds to make us come alive!" Harry Potter smiled.
Everyone couldn't help but nodded, yes, that's true!
"The last point is also something I have to agree to!" Harry Potter sighed again, then snapped his fingers, and his secretary sent a thick copy of the information to Harry Potter, and Harry Potter put the information in front of Albert.
"Sir, please check this information!" said Harry Potter.
"Yeah!" Albert opened the information with some confusion, looked at it for a few seconds, his pupils instantly glared out, and then he quickly followed the information. After reading it for more than twenty minutes, he put down the information in disbelief and looked at Harry Potter and said, "Are these technologies conquered by Daqian?"
"Of course, Daqian has applied for global patents for these technologies, how can there be fakes?" Harry Potter said. "Daqian has not taken away our technology and patents in vain. In fact, in recent years, Daqian has also been studying CDMA technology. Although we have achieved not as many achievements as we have, we have also made many important achievements, with a total of 67 CDMA patents!"
"I don't know much about these technologies and patents, and I don't know what these technologies and patents seem to President Albert?" Harry Potter asked back.
"Oh, I didn't expect that the Chinese people would have such scientific research capabilities!" Albert still had an incredible expression. He looked at the catalog of these patents again, and finally sighed, "Of courses of these 67 patents, more than a dozen patents are very important, which directly blocked our further research. As for the remaining dozens of patents, it is also very important. Technology involving all aspects. If it is stuck, it will take a lot of money to go around."
"Let me say that, the most important dozen patents will hinder our path toward cdma technology. Because if we want to continue to develop cdma technology, we must obtain the authorization of these patents, otherwise we will not be able to move forward at all!"
"As for the remaining patents, although there are ways to get around them, it will require a huge cost, which is equivalent to a huge rock blocking the road, which makes people feel uncomfortable!" Albert shook his head.
"According to our agreement, Daqian will also be authorized to Qualcomm for free to use these 67 patents. We do not need to be restricted and troubled by these patents now, and we can continue to charge towards CDMA technology. I have also reached a subsequent licensing agreement with Daqian. In the future, all technical patents developed by both parties will be authorized to the other party first. However, every time we authorize, different licensing fees will be charged based on the value of the patented technology. So please hurry up and work hard to develop and obtain more CDMA technology patents, completely overwhelming Daqian, so as not to be ridiculed by others. Qualcomm is not as good as a Chinese company!" Harry Potter said.
"Yes!" Everyone nodded, and at the same time, a feeling of unyielding came out. They secretly swore that they must work hard, seize the time to do scientific research, and completely compare those damn Chinese people.
"I really can't figure out whether these Chinese are humans or ghosts? Why did they quietly develop these cmda technologies that we have not even developed. Do Chinese have such terrible scientific research capabilities? Are Chinese not Chinese people the same idiots as Indians, but as smart as us whites?" Albert said in disbelief.
"Hey, I've actually experienced this!" Another scientist shareholder present said, "You all know that I am actually a professor at Yale University. Among the students I teach, the best grades and the most hardworking are always those Chinese students, or just international students from China. Their IQ is definitely no lower than us, but in terms of hard work and diligence, it far exceeds us. If all the Chinese in the world can enjoy the same education as ours in the United States, it may not take 100 years to become our America's biggest opponent!"
"Okay, I won't talk about these off-topics!" said Harry Potter. "Do you still think that I'm doing a stupid thing to authorize our Qualcomm patent?"
...
The entire conference room was silent for a moment, and then Albert stood up and said, "Mr. Harry Potter is indeed committed to doing his best for the development of Qualcomm. These decisions are wise decisions. There is no mistake. We are wrong. We should not be unaware of the truth and just lose our temper!"
"yes!"
"We are too reckless!"
Everyone said, a smile appeared on Harry Potter's face. He stood up and said, "Thank you, Mr. President, for your fair evaluation. Actually, I have done something I shouldn't do today, but there is no way. I am just an agent of the foundation. Our shareholders of the foundation require me to completely control Qualcomm. I can only take this worst option to take away the equity in your hands."
"But I personally still have some rights. I can turn the equity I bought from you just now into dividend equity and give it to you. In the future, as long as you stay at Qualcomm and continue to contribute your own strength for Qualcomm's development, the dividend rights of equity will remain the same, and at the same time, they will still have a say and a director position in the board of directors. This dividend rights can even be passed on to your descendants for 50 years."
"But if you leave Qualcomm, then these dividend equity will be gone. I wonder if you can forgive me if you take this decision, and continue to stay at Qualcomm, work together to work hard for the future development of Qualcomm?"
I saw that the equity that was bought by Harry Potter just now has returned. Although there is only dividend rights, this is enough for them. After all, their equity is used for dividends, and they have not thought of other ways to use these equity.
