Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Leaving Tianjing Davos, Qu Li came to Beijin. Fortunately, Glory’s corporate bond issuance went smoothly, and 3.5 billion soft sister coins were raised. CICC Overseas has limited ability to issue bonds. In order to pursue speed, Qu Li chose After all, most of their income comes from overseas, and there is no shortage of US dollars and euros.

"I heard that there is a breakthrough in the patent department?" Qu Li casually sat in the middle of the conference room, listening to the reports of his subordinates.

"Yes, after carefully studying the patent structure of Nortel Networks and InterDigital, we found that they have many basic patents on 3G, 4G and WIFI that Apple cannot avoid..."

"If we acquire these patents, how can we guarantee that we will not reverse license to Qualcomm and avoid Apple's patent protection through Qualcomm tax?" Qu Li asked what he was concerned about. Although the biggest competitors in the smartphone industry are Nokia, Samsung, but Apple is so disgusting.

"There is a way. We are different from Qualcomm's patent cooperation subject. The patents of the Honor mobile phone must be delicensed to Qualcomm, but the patents of the Honor Group do not need..."

"Will Nortel sell patents?"

"The financial crisis has brought about a huge panic. InterDigital mainly relies on patent licensing and litigation. They are all worried about cash flow. It is not a day or two that Nortel Networks is doing poorly. It is possible to package and sell some patents." The person in charge of the patent department of Glory people say so

Qu Li asked some more details, and at last he was quite relieved. InterDigital has already filed a patent lawsuit against Glory, and troubles have come to him one after another. What he is doing now may not be useful, but the situation will definitely be more unfavorable if he does nothing.

In the face of patent lawsuits, of course, we should actively respond to the lawsuit. The main market of Honor is overseas, and it has a strong team of lawyers in Europe and the United States. , If you can reconcile, you can reconcile, even if it is unreasonable, anyway, you can't let the prosecution easily succeed.

"We have received more than 5 million intentional orders..." Honor G2 is very popular and hot, but what is an intentional order? If you don't pay much, you may go back on your word at any time.

"Don't talk about these nonsense, we only cooperate with the three major operators of T-mobile, Hutchison, and Verizon. How about Dongying and Kimchi Country?"

"Under the recommendation of Qualcomm, both KDDI and LGT using CDMA2000 have contacted us and are discussing cooperation..."

"SKT in kimchi country doesn't want Honor G2?"

"But LGT is more sincere."

"How to say?"

"They're willing to pay first..."

"Sun Zhengyi from Softbank Telecom will come to Beijin to discuss cooperation with us." Qu Li will naturally take more care of the rich boss.

"Sun Zhengyi who invested in Yahoo! Ahri?"

"Well, he participated in Davos this time, and he communicated with me through Ma Yun..."

Originally, after Softbank Sun Zhengyi acquired Vodafone Telecom, in order to open up the market, he wanted to have an impact mobile phone product, but Dongying’s mobile phone brand is not capable of innovation, so he contacted Apple and asked Jobs to develop a smartphone. Logically, the iPhone should be the first choice. Why? I contacted Glory.

"Honor G2! The TD version of Honor G2 has enough experience in design."

There is nothing wrong with this, Honor has launched promotions in North America. Unlike the TD Olympic version, which uses version 0.8, Android 1.0 was released in September, and Honor G2 is the first mobile phone company to adapt to it. Available in North America, it has become the most anticipated mobile phone on Facebook.

T-mobile launched the pre-sale, and up to now, 1 million consumers have participated in the pre-sale activities. You must know that T-mobile is only the third largest operator in the United States. Back then, I was unwilling to sign a data sharing agreement with Honor, so Honor G2 can cooperate with Verizon. Now it’s too late to regret it.

Of course, T-mobile is more important than Verizon, and the Honor G2 in the United States will be returned to T-mobile for the first time, and there is still a one-month interval, which means that the CDMA2000 version of the G2 mobile phone will have more time for system optimization.

You must know that there are not many people with experience in operating system development in China. Many system optimization tasks of Honor are assigned to the North American branch, and there is still a lack of high-end talents.

Sun Zhengyi soon arrived in Beijin. He said that Softbank Investment is still a minority shareholder of Jumei, helping the Beijin branch Juyun Technology to find a partner in Dongying to operate Hatsune Miku. He said that he has never paid attention to the situation of this virtual singer and does not know. how's it going.

"I've always wanted to meet you, and finally I see you." Sun Zhengyi came to Glory as if he had come to the home court, and he was not unfamiliar at all.

"I am also looking forward to meeting my seniors." Both Quli and Li companies are growing at a high speed, and external entertainment can be pushed as soon as possible. For example, leaders from all over Guangdong Province visited Jumei in Yangcheng. He basically did not participate in the reception, and he did not mix with entrepreneurs. Circles, various behaviors have received a lot of criticism.

After some commercial praise, let's get to the point. Anyway, it is impossible to invest in Glory. Softbank Telecom is enough for Sun Zhengyi. It seems that he hasn't turned his losses into profits. He probably doesn't have the financial resources now. However, Qu Li has no ability to underestimate others. The combined annual revenue of Jumei Glory is less than 10 billion U.S. dollars, and the gap between the two parties is huge.

It is a good thing to cooperate to sell mobile phones, but it does not mean that it will be successful. The main reason is that the conditions cannot be agreed, such as traffic sharing, such as exclusive cooperation, such as purchase price, fund transfer period, and purchase volume.

Well, it’s a seller’s market now. The supply of Honor G2 tends to exceed demand. Softbank’s purchases have increased. What about T-mobile? You must know that Honor will give priority to supplying T-mobile in order to cooperate with Deutsche Telekom for a long time.

The reason why the Honor G2 is scheduled to go on sale on November 11 is not only because it needs to adapt to Android 1.0, but also has three types of chips, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments chips, which are actually equivalent to 6 mobile phones, plus the Olympic version, that is 7 phone. If you add the difference in mobile phone memory and capacity...

"So the Honor G2 hasn't been finalized yet?"

"System optimization..."

The defect of turning to Google is now apparent, Android 1.0 is not compatible with previous versions, which was not explained when the Honor Olympic version was released. This will undoubtedly damage the brand image of Honor, but there is no way.

Therefore, Honor said that there are 5 million intentional orders, how many will be actually implemented, we have to wait for the news of Android 1.0 to ferment, and it also depends on the market performance of Honor G2, but Google has very high support for their product efforts, including free advocacy support.

The coexistence of risks and opportunities made Honor's supply chain management complicated. Without large-scale orders, it was difficult to negotiate price concessions. Fortunately, they encountered the subprime mortgage crisis. This delay reduced their material costs a lot. Including Futukang took the initiative to come to the door and cut prices to seek cooperation opportunities.

The chat with Sun Zhengyi mainly determined the direction of cooperation. Honor will provide more software support, including localization optimization, and will not share traffic with Softbank, but will have to pay for purchases...
