Sprinkle coins every day

As Gu Mingzhang analyzed, the most affected by Samsung's move is actually Xiaomi and his ilk.

"Rebus has gone crazy. Just yesterday, he called me three times." As the president of Maili Group, Gu Mingzhang can be regarded as a bigwig in China's smartphone industry.

He also serves as the vice president of the association.

"This is the fragility of not mastering the core technology. Samsung can just move its fingers and make a casual move, and it can push Xiaomi and his ilk to the wall."

From the emotional point of view, it is really difficult for Zhang Shuo to feel sympathy for Xiao Mi.

Fortunately, Zhang Shuo is not an emotional person, and said firmly: "No matter what the ultimate goal of Samsung is, one thing is certain - what the enemy wants to achieve is exactly what we need to destroy."

In a word, Samsung's calculation must not be allowed to succeed.

Not to mention.

It also involved a new enemy who didn't dare to think about this sprout.

Just packed together.

Zhang Shuocai didn't believe it and said that it was a simple coincidence that Samsung found him.

"Chairman, do you mean that we want to follow the example of Samsung and provide technical assistance or technology transfer to friends like Xiaomi and ov? But, to be honest, our own technology accumulation is not deep."

Originally, Maili Group was established less than two years ago, and the original technology came from Nokia.

Moreover, this piece of technology was authorized to related supporting enterprises in the Lingnan Electronic Information Industry Belt as early as the establishment of Maili Group.

It also includes Xiaomi, ov and the like.

That is to say, except for the unique technology developed in the past one or two years, Maili Group's own technical reserves are far from being comparable to those of established electronics giants like Samsung.

Even if you want to learn, you can't learn.

"I didn't say that we should follow Samsung completely. Samsung has Samsung's advantages, and we also have our own advantages. You said, if the fingerprint unlocking technology is authorized to Xiaomi, ov and other friends, can it have a miraculous effect?"

Zhang Shuo had an idea.

"Fingerprint unlocking technology is our unique secret technique..."

Gu Mingzhang hesitated to speak.

"It's a unique secret technique, but how long do you think this technology can last, one year or two years?" If Zhang Shuo remembers correctly, the Pingguo 5s released this year will have fingerprint unlocking.

"Even if it can only be maintained for another year, it will be of great value."

Gu Mingzhang is still hesitating.

From his point of view, the Maili x2 to be released by Maili Group this year will be a product that determines success or failure. If it can still take the lead in fingerprint unlocking technology, it will undoubtedly be a blessing.

It is also one of the main signs that distinguish Maili mobile phone from Xiaomi, ov and other products.

"Maybe you're right."

It's not that Zhang Shuo can't understand Gu Mingzhang's hesitation, "But I still want to be self-willed for a while, just as a little extra pressure on the technology research and development department of Maili Group."

He doesn't want to say that Mai Li can only guard the fingerprint unlocking technology.

The next few years will be a period of explosion of smartphone-related technologies. In terms of unlocking technology alone, there will be more advanced off-screen fingerprint unlocking and face recognition technology in the future.

It is absolutely unacceptable to rest on your laurels.

"Chairman, what do you mean, let the dog bite the rabbit?" Gu Mingzhang finally understood.

"more or less."

Zhang Shuo nodded with a smile, "From the perspective of Maili Group, this is indeed the case. But if you look at the entire Chinese smartphone industry, it can also be said that it is letting rabbits bite dogs."

To deal with Dareanxiang and Meijiu who are blessed by Samsung, Xiaomi and ov have to take the shot.

"Then, how to authorize specifically? Is it directly authorized to the three partners of Huawei, Xiaomi, and ov, or as long as it is a domestic mobile phone manufacturer, it will be granted upon application?" Gu Mingzhang asked.

The current domestic mobile phone industry can be described as a mixed bag.

In addition to Xiaomi, ov, and Meizhu, there are also new players such as Kupi and Hammer.

"so…"

Zhang Shuo's eyes moved slightly, and he already had an idea, and said with a smile: "Let's spread the word to the outside world, saying that only four domestic mobile phone manufacturers will be authorized to use the fingerprint unlocking technology. As for which four, we will not announce it."

"Four families..."

After pondering for a while, Gu Mingzhang came up with a taste, "Chairman, do you want these friends to compete with each other, so as to increase the influence of Maili Group in the industry?"

"clever!"

Zhang Shuo nodded with a smile, "Even if it is a license, you have to charge some extra interest, right? Moreover, technology licensing is not free, and you have to charge some patent royalties, and you can't go for nothing."

"understand!"

Gu Mingzhang also understood, "I'm looking forward to it now, I don't dare to think, whether these two, Meizuo, will also be added to the application sequence."

"I don't dare to think about it, but Meizhuo will definitely try it." Zhang Shuo smiled.

"that must be very interesting."

Gu Mingzhang couldn't help but shudder quietly because of the boss's bad taste.

Chapter 394 Rebus came to ask for advice, the leader accepted his love, and Zhang Shuo took all the glory in the world!

Tuesday, July 5.

Maili Group issued an announcement, claiming that in order to promote the development of domestic mobile phones, it is willing to license its self-developed fingerprint unlocking technology to four domestic mobile phone manufacturers for a fee.

As soon as the news came out, it quickly detonated the Internet.

"Let me go, Germination has made another big move."

"Could it be that Maili Group wants to abolish its own martial arts? Fingerprint unlocking is one of the biggest selling points of Maili mobile phones. Are you not afraid of reducing your own competitiveness by authorizing it to friends?"

"How can you be sure that Maili Phone doesn't have any new unique secret skills?"

"This is also true. Judging from the research and development expenditure disclosed by Maili Group, Maili x2 is still worth looking forward to."

"Even so, Mai Li's move is quite unexpected."

"Didn't people say that if we want to promote the development of domestic mobile phones, we probably can't see that Samsung and the like are running out of money in the Chinese market, so we want to help our peers."

"Cute King Beep!!!"

"What I'm more curious about now is which four manufacturers can obtain the technology authorization of Maili Group."

"Don't dare to think: Is it possible, I have a share? (dog head)"

"Reminiscent of Samsung's licensing of unthinkable technologies before, this matter is really intriguing."

"I can imagine that in the future, many domestic mobile phone manufacturers will start a fierce battle for these four places. It is estimated that people's heads will be beaten into dogs."

"necessary."

"The facts are clear. Whoever can obtain the technical authorization of fingerprint unlocking will be able to secure a position in the second rank of domestic mobile phones. One step ahead, step by step."

"Then the company is probably about to cry..."

In fact, when netizens are eating melons, various mobile phone manufacturers are already taking action.

If there is a relationship, trust the relationship, if it doesn't matter, look for the relationship.

The first thing to do is to confirm the truth of the news with Maili Group, and at the same time inquire about the specific technical authorization details. The so-called paid, what kind of paid method is it.

Maili Group was also very enthusiastic and received inquiries from all parties, and then announced a more detailed plan.

Simply put——

The authorization of fingerprint unlocking technology adopts the method of charging according to the sales volume. Manufacturers who obtain technology authorization need to pay a patent royalty of one yuan for each sold smartphone with fingerprint unlocking.

Strictly speaking, it's not cheap.

Taking Xiaomi as an example, the sales volume of the original time and space in 13 years was around 800 million units, which seems to be acceptable.It began to soar in the next few years, and in 18, the annual sales officially exceeded [-] million units.

Added together, the patent fee is still very considerable.

But is it worth it?Absolute value!

As netizens speculated, when fingerprint unlocking technology is still a "rare product", whoever's product can be the first to unlock with its own fingerprint will lead a new wave of sales.

Compared with the increase in sales revenue, this patent licensing fee is nothing.

Secondly, as mentioned before, the fingerprint unlocking technology will not be popular for a few years, and it is expected to be replaced by the new "under-screen fingerprint unlocking technology" soon.

Maili Group also cannot keep charging patent fees.

Still very conscientious.

In the words of Gu Mingzhang, "Mai Li Group has barely recovered its R&D expenditure."

It's very arrogant!

.........

The next day.

Zhang Shuo is processing documents in the office.

In addition to Maili Group getting the limelight yesterday, Xiami Music, a subsidiary of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, also made a breakthrough in the copyright negotiations with Jewel, and officially signed a copyright licensing contract.

Xiami Music won Jewell's non-exclusive music copyright for the next five years at a price of 4200 million.

It's not cheap either.

You know, in about 15 years, in order to obtain the authorization of Jielun music copyright from Tenda Music Group, Wangye Music only needs to pay an authorization fee of less than 900 million per year.

And this year is only 13 years.

Xiami Music wanted to take advantage of it and obtain a longer-term authorization, but five years was already the upper limit that Jewell could allow.

But it doesn't matter.

After five years, the authorities have already taken action to rectify the problem of copyright monopoly.

The most important thing is that Xiami Music does not have the same ambition as Tengda. It has never thought of saying that it will use copyright monopoly to achieve the goal of unifying the rivers and lakes, and it is only for the games under Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment.

The most the most.

That is to take extra care of the emotional fans.

It is not to say that because of copyright issues, he was forced into a corner by Tengda, Wangye and the like.

Especially not being manipulated by Tengda.

Because of Tengda's sudden intervention, Xiami Music must have paid a high premium for this transaction, which is not only reflected in the copyright fee itself, but also some off-site factors.

For example, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment hired Jie Lun as the spokesperson for Dota 2.

Another example is that Maili Group invited Jie Lun to be the spokesperson for Maili Mobile in Asia.

It's all money!

Fortunately, a win-win situation was achieved in the end, and it's hard to say who really suffered.

After all, from the perspective of Germination, even if they don't sign Jie Lun, they still have to sign other celebrity endorsements.

At least in the original time and space.

In the era when stars frequently had thunderstorms, Jie Lun was regarded as a relatively high-quality star.

The only thing that felt frustrating during this process was probably the loss to Xiami Music's Tenda Music Group at the last minute with a lot of cash.

After the first battle after financing, I left with regret.

Fortunately, Tenda's business strategy has always been very flexible. After it was hopeless to obtain exclusive copyright, it soon signed a five-year non-exclusive licensing contract with Jewel.

The price is said to be even higher.

After all, Tenda couldn't come up with a few endorsement contracts that would make Jay's heart flutter.

busy.

Secretary Dai Yutong knocked on the door and came in, "Chairman, Mr. Lei wants to visit you, but he's already downstairs."

"Okay, got it."

Zhang Shuo didn't expect that Rebs would be so brave that he would directly kill Germinal's headquarters.

Get up and go to the door to greet you.

"Mr. Zhang, long time no see!"
