my return to life

The impact of the huge benefits brought about by breakthroughs in basic science has made these big bosses have their own ideas.

Shen Wei couldn't help but said: "As far as I know, the licensing fee we paid together should be 10 billion, right?"

"Almost, about 90% of it was paid by Samsung Electronics." Fang Nian said frankly without hiding anything.

Then added two sentences: "In fact, in order to maintain more leadership of the system, Nuwa Lab's research and development expenses on MindOS are increasing linearly on a monthly basis;

As of the third quarter, the relevant research and development expenses invested this year are about 15 billion, excluding external patent payment and salary costs. "

"..."

Regardless of whether Fang Nian had implied meaning or not, everyone present realized that Nuwa Lab's research and development investment in MindOS could not be covered by the licensing fees they contributed alone.

Not to mention that Nuwa Lab also needs to pay patent fees to the outside world.

of course……

What Fang Nian didn't mention is that the payment for foreign patent fees has disappeared.

Because Nuwa Lab has realized peer-to-peer mutual authorization on MindOS.

Strictly speaking, among the licensing fees totaling '70 billion' this year, the part about Samsung Electronics is completely a 'pit'.

The alliance stipulates that it should not be less than 3%, and there is no upper limit.

Cutting-edge science talks about 7% by itself, which is the ability of cutting-edge science.

And it also delayed Samsung Electronics for 90 days. It can be said that all domestic mobile phone brands have to thank Frontier.

2011 is the first year of smartphones in China.

Samsung Electronics directly lost its competitiveness in the Chinese market due to system-level differences, and it can be said that the entire first half of the year was fruitless.

Not to mention the grand occasion of the launch of S2 last month, let’s just say that this month, the frontier has just released a small hole, and domestic manufacturers immediately felt the huge pressure.

When I met Lei Jun in the morning, Fang Nian could tell that even a fancier and value-for-money brand like Xiaomi is not having a good time.

Not to mention other brands with a certain brand premium, among which Juchang is the most difficult...

At this time, Yu Dadong, who had pondered for a long time, spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I'm a little embarrassed about this matter. I can't make the decision. ZTE will make a decision."

After Yu Dadong finished speaking, Lei Jun leaned back in his chair with his legs crossed, and took over the conversation: "Let me interject, not to mention the rules, it's actually just a simple math problem."

Huang Xiujie, who put his hands together on the conference table in front of him, agreed: "Yes, if ZTE launches a mobile phone with a price of 10, the cost will be evened out if the sales volume exceeds 750 million. In the future, every [-] units sold will be more Pay a license fee of [-] million."

Chen Mingyong also said with a smile: "Speaking of which, we are quite lucky and enjoy a lot of benefits."

Shen Wei smiled, as if feeling emotional: "That's right, according to the current licensing fee we pay, it is far from enough to allow MindOS to have enough funds to maintain its leading position."

"..."

If you say one sentence to another, it actually means skipping the ZTE licensing fee and directly discussing the next topic.

These bosses can easily find a tacit understanding at some levels.

Although in the voting stage, ZTE won the unanimous support of everyone;

But in the final analysis, the licensing fee is paid by ZTE and has nothing to do with them.

Although they say that they have enjoyed benefits, in fact these bosses are completely at ease.

It can be understood as investment. Companies such as Xiaomi invested heavily in the seed round, and now they are about to IPO. Of course, they can enjoy the returns.

Companies like ZTE want to enter in the IPO stage, and if they want to enjoy the same treatment, they will naturally have to pay a higher price.

Not to mention the frontier, it almost bears all the risks of the entire product process.

Nature should get the most rewards.

after all……

Everyone here knows that MindOS is not just a matter of money.

For example, Xiaomi couldn't do it at that time.

It can also be said to be a matter of money, but which company would start with a "suicide" R&D investment in units of [-] million for an unknown?

This kind of research and development funds, in exchange for the aerospace industry, can send people to the moon.

Of course, it can also be sent up, and the return trip is not included...

"..."

Amidst the discussion, Yu Dadong naturally followed suit and said with a smile, "That's the way it is."

Looking at everyone while talking, he suggested: "By the way, let's talk about the licensing fee standard for alliance members."

Fang Nian: "..."

"what?"

Facing the eyes of everyone looking over at the same time, Fang Nian said casually: "I can do it, you decide."

"Mr. Fang, let's say a few words." Lei Jun spoke first, smiling.

Seeing this, Fang Nian said easily, "You guys sell more mobile phones."

"..."

In the end, it was Yu Dadong and Lei Jun who discussed and re-set the tone.

The first is the authorization fee standard for alliance members.

According to common sense, it should be a process of continuous reduction over time.

but……

As a result, it was elevated.

Because the effort is small, the harvest is heavy.

Although everyone tacitly did not mention the issue of foreign patent payment, they also knew in their hearts that what they paid might not be comparable to the cost of patents.

In fact, it's not that exaggerated, at most it just doesn't make much money.

In the mall, Fang Nian has never been a good person. Although he looks like one, he actually earns more than anyone else.

Anyway, Ren Yuxin, who is in charge of the Goose Factory game in Pengcheng, is in a bad mood now, but he is suffering, and he has to thank Fang Nian.

The final decision is...

In the future, the fixed annual fee of 500 million yuan per year will be cancelled, and the authorization fee will be increased by 4 thousand points to 9‰.

The standard of licensing fee outside the alliance is left to the frontier science to decide freely, but it cannot be lower than 1.8%.

Secondly, a whole bunch of other things were discussed.

In general it is...

The restriction of Nuwa Alliance on Nuwa MindOS is gone.

On the contrary, it increases the degree of voluntary cooperation and restraint.

The commercial attribute is reduced and the technical attribute is enhanced.

wait wait wait.

In a sense, the alliance exists in name only.

In the following discussions, Fang Nian basically didn't participate in it, so he just nodded.

Everyone discussed the result, Fang Nian nodded, and it was over.

Anyway, the result is happy for everyone.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, there is no need to talk about many things at all. From the moment Xiaomi decided to hand over the Nuwa mobile phone system to Frontier, it handed over the dominance.

The more derogatory description is that through their own efforts, Nuwa Lab has successfully turned the client into the center and has complete autonomy.

"..."

Seeing that the words were about the same, Fang Nian looked around and said slowly: "Bosses have finished speaking, let me say a few words."

"Samsung Electronics is coming very aggressively this month, and our Nuwa Alliance can't just watch, right?"

"There is also this overseas market. Samsung Electronics has explored the way in advance. Can our Nuwa Alliance also express something?"

As soon as Fang Nian's words fell, the private conference room was filled with light coughing.

Then Yu Dadong met Fang Nian's piercing eyes.

To be honest, Yu Dadong felt that he panicked for no reason, and his scalp was a little stiff.

He coughed twice, pretending to clear his throat, and then Yu Dadong smiled, and said, "What Mr. Fang said is indeed a problem. Chrysanthemum Factory has plans to launch a high-end flagship series."

After a short pause, Yu Dadong added: "This time, the listing in overseas markets will be delayed."

"..."

Lei Jun quickly said: "Xiaomi 1S will land in the American market on the 31st."

"..."

Everyone has their own ideas.

Anyway, the general direction is to fight to the end.

Whether it is the aggressiveness of Samsung Electronics in the domestic market, or the big cake in the overseas market.

After all, everyone has tasted the sweetness before.

After all, Samsung Electronics has already hit the doorstep.

The current situation is that at least Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo, Meizu, and Juchang have new product plans internally.

It will fully cover the high-end market from 5000 yuan to [-] yuan.

There may be a ZTE in the future.

There is a sense of joint encirclement and suppression.

In fact, Fang Nian didn't care about these commercial layouts.

He knew that Samsung Electronics would almost be abandoned by the Chinese market due to various factors, including the battery door and so on.

And they don't particularly agree with the business concept of 'encirclement and suppression'.

At least not at this stage.

The domestic industrial chain is extremely weak.

So, in the end, Fang Nian said kindly: "Bosses, have you ever thought about something;

This year is just the starting point for smartphones. According to the data compiled by Nvwa Lab, the shipment of smartphones in the domestic market next year will double that of this year, and it is conservatively estimated that it will reach 2 million;

By 14, smartphones will basically cover mobile phone users. "

Hearing this, Lei Jun frowned, and immediately asked: "President Fang means that our business plan is still a bit conservative?"

"Is this data collation a bit exaggerated?" Huang Xiujie frowned and asked.

"..."

Fang Nian couldn't help it.

Meizu came up with two kings and four twos. If they insisted on taking them apart to fight, they would suddenly become the bottom one of the alliance members in terms of shipments. I can't blame others.

Fang Nian really felt that Huang Xiujie was not a suitable person to take the helm.

Especially in the current era of mobile Internet.

Fang Nian can easily come to this conclusion from knowing the minor details of his previous life.

Either overly conservative, or crazy radical.

If he hadn't had some luck in his previous life, he would have had nothing to do with the big Meizu company he had built early on.

From a businessman's point of view, there is no pattern.

In layman's terms, it's lack of opinion and indecision...

Nuwa Lab now has nearly 90% of the data on the total number of domestic smart system users. How long has it been since Meizu did market research before Huang Xiujie can say something like 'exaggeration'.

In fact, Fang Nian vaguely remembered the extremely exaggerated growth in smartphone shipments in 2012 compared to 2011 in his previous life.

But Fang Nian did not mention such data.
