Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 129 Patent Cooperation

On August 8, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a new batch of mobile phone licenses, and a total of 19 companies obtained them, including Beijin Honor Technology Co., Ltd.

Although Qu Li announced his intention to build mobile phones in Central China, he did not attract the attention of the outside world, and there was no news about his establishment of a mobile phone company later. Therefore, when everyone saw Honor Technology, they did not immediately think of Qu Li.

But things can't always be hidden. News of Li Yinan's resignation from Warwick also came out at this time. Someone who was deeply involved in Honor Technology quickly discovered Qu Li's traces.

"The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is issuing mobile phone licenses indiscriminately to a company that was established less than half a year ago..."

"Li Yinan joins Honor Technology..."

"Qu Li is the person behind the scenes of Glory."

"Two young geniuses from Hunan and Hunan gather together..."

"Qu Li's smartphone dream, a declaration on the CCTV stage."

“China’s IPhone, Honor phone?”

The curiosity of the outside world naturally attracted many people to inquire about the news. What is even more strange is how Honor was able to obtain a mobile phone license. Is there any connection behind Qu Li?

But Qu Li, who had obtained the mobile phone license, was not idle. He and Zhou Shaoning still had to contact the supply chain. However, except for key companies such as Texas Instruments and T-Mobile, they could not all contact them through Google, and there was no point in bragging. We can only talk about it one by one.

"Are you going to the United States again?" Zhou Shaoning

"Do you want T-Mobile to come to Zhongguo..." Qu Li

"We should set up a branch in the United States."

"That's for sure." Qu Li was still thinking about setting up a research and development center after the subprime mortgage crisis broke out. He remembered that Motorola was about to die, and so many talents were coveted.

Zhou Shaoning and Qu Li went to the United States to discuss cooperation with T-Mobile to sell mobile phones. This must be endorsed by Google. Otherwise, if sales were banned due to a patent issue, wouldn't that mean that the funds they purchased were wasted?

So, this time I went to the United States really to set up a branch of Honor in the United States. I wanted to recruit people from Motorola and work with a lawyer who was proficient in mobile phone patents. Fortunately, he had already made arrangements and the branch in Silicon Valley had already been registered. Well, we hired a professional headhunter to recruit people.

"I want to go to Warwick before going to the United States."

"What are you doing in Warwick?"

"Pay the patent fee."

"Do you want to reach a patent agreement with Warwick first and use it as a standard before talking to other mobile phone companies?"

"There's no way around it. We don't have so many talents who are familiar with communications patents."

It stands to reason that Qu Li's approach does not conform to normal business logic. Warwick mobile phones are Honor's main competitors in the future. Isn't paying patent fees to Warwick an advantage to the enemy?

"But Warwick may not agree?" Zhou Shaoning said calmly

At this time, Qu Li can certainly understand, but the majority of the Internet does not understand. Many people think that Huawei is a Chinese enterprise, so it will be friendly internally, but forget that this is a company that respects the wolf culture, regardless of domestic Externally, they show their teeth to all competitors and “enemies”.Otherwise, there would be no paraquat or black widow title in the industry.

Here comes the problem. No one sympathizes with the losers. There is only one reason. Warwick has high investment in R&D, which is a bit of reverse cause and effect. Li Yinan's Harbor Network was not defeated by Warwick because of poor technology, but because of its deep Zhengzhou-Shanghai relations and financial strength.Harbor is by no means the only similar example, so don’t think of Warwick as your savior.As the domestic economy and technology industry develop into a new situation, there will definitely be someone who will surpass Warwick in the future. It may be DJI, it may be Baidu, it may be some unknown company, who knows?

But our protagonist, Qu Li, has a good impression of Warwick, thinking that it will give others an advantage anyway, and Warwick's meat will rot in the pot. What a big pattern.

Li Yinan, who had just resigned from Warwick, reluctantly contacted Ren Zhengfei. The two parties made an appointment, and Qu Li and his party flew to Pengcheng.

Because they were discussing business, Li Yinan was quite embarrassed when they met at the headquarters of Warwick Company.Qu Li was a little excited, but pretended to be nonchalant, which is a necessary quality for an "actor".

"We have two things to do when we go to Warwick this time. One is to obtain 3G mobile phone patent authorization, and the other is to hope that Warwick can help us obtain patent authorization from other foreign mobile phone manufacturers at the lowest cost. The smartphones we produce are mainly for the American market..." Qu Li Jiang said again what Li Yinan had communicated with Ren Zhengfei on the phone.

"Warwick has never collected patent fees from domestic companies and currently has no plans to do so."

"But there are always overseas companies collecting Warwick's patent fees, right?"

"You produce smartphones, what's the difference between them and Warwick phones?"

"The biggest difference may be the price, which is US$2 for the 299G version and US$3 for the 399G version; secondly, the operating system, which is Google's open source Android; and finally, our mobile phone is not just a mobile phone, it is a tool to open the mobile Internet..."

"Good eloquence!" Ren Zhengfei said lightly. If a person like Qu Li went to Warwick to apply for a job, he would most likely be regarded as mentally ill, because this old man had behaved like this before.Ren Laoyezi's Warwick is a man of action, while Yu Dazui probably relies on the navy to dominate the world.

"Is Huawei so inferior to glory?" Ren Zhengfei asked Li Yinan

"Glory's benefits, benefits, and salary are not as good as those of Warwick, but excluding Qu Li, the average academic qualifications of our team are higher than those of Warwick Research Institute. Our research efficiency is not lower than that of Warwick, and there is no oppression here..." Li Yinan also dared to say that he would offend two people with one sentence.

In the past few months, Warwick employees have committed suicide and self-inflicted wounds. If this happened in Futukang, they would have been criticized by words and writings. However, Warwick has high wages, so many keyboard warriors who have nothing to do with them say that these people are in the blessings and do not know. blessing.

Well, in fact, Qu Li has no sympathy for the elites whose income is much higher than his own. Isn’t it easy to find a psychologist and enjoy life when you have money and financial freedom?More than 90% of things in this world can be solved with money. The troubles of rich people are so enviable and jealous!

However, Ren Zhengfei feels sorry for the employees of Warwick, because many people blame the problem on Warwick's high-intensity management and corporate culture. Even communication with the media is strictly restricted, and only "positive" information about Warwick can be said.

"Really, then I wish you success, and you will discuss the specific matters with me..." Ren Zhengfei said a few words briefly and left, handing the stage to his successor.

No, Warwick has not started the rotating CEO model yet. Mr. Ren was rehired by Warwick after his retirement.And starting from this year, we have cooperated with Accenture to establish a landmark LTC process.

Honor has just been established, and its mobile phones have not yet been mass-produced and sold. There is a shitty process. Many decisions are made by Qu Li’s head, or their high-quality team makes collective decisions.

Unlike Jumei, it has already prepared to establish a process, because the shopee group buying in the United States became an instant hit after being promoted by Facebook, and 99 pairs of coconut shoes for $[-] were sold in the first group buying.
