Age of Dreams

() Xiao Qi did some calculations. After ten years, the patent authorization is almost 95 million. Now it seems a little expensive in one or two years, but considering the rapid development of Huaguo in ten years, this money is just a drop in the bucket.

In addition to the continuous appreciation of the RMB against the US dollar in the future, this money will also depreciate, but Xiao Qi's development in China will benefit a lot from it.

But he was not happy on the surface: "These guys are really desperate for money, and they're all for this. Isn't it enough for six million a year? I have to pay more than 30 million more."

Wade explained: "You can't say that, Mr. Xiao. In fact, the patent of optical fiber transmission equipment invented by Nortel Networks is still very valuable. Their Nortel Networks now has a large income, and they rely on this. They I would like to sell it in every country, but this way of increasing year by year is also the norm in the market. After all, the current network development is changing rapidly, and good technology is not afraid that no one will buy it. The price given to you is already very cheap It's gone."

Xiao Qi nodded secretly.

Nortel Networks made a fortune by relying on the optical fiber transmission equipment invented by itself, because it can greatly increase the transmission speed of data, which is in line with Clinton's "information superhighway" construction plan, so Nortel Networks made a fortune, and thus began They expand without restraint.

Intemperance means indigestion. Needless to say, when the market is good, but once the market is bad, problems are prone to occur.

For example, the crisis of Nortel Networks in recent years happened to be on the optical fiber transmission equipment, because around 2001, the Internet bubble burst, and many companies that purchased Nortel Networks optical fiber transmission equipment closed down one after another, resulting in unintentional breach of contract.

It also caused a large number of equipment squeezes in Nortel Networks. The inability to sell them caused them to have insufficient funds to support the losses of other industries. Under the domino effect, the original super-large company with more than 200 billion collapsed and was dying.

under these circumstances. Immediately when the economy improved, Nortel Networks certainly hoped to sell the valuable things in their hands for more value.

Technology companies in Western countries have always looked down on the Huaguo market, because they know that no matter how good their products are, they will have imitated and cheaper products in a short time, and then take advantage of the price advantage to sell I was forced to break down-don't believe it? Microsoft is the best example!

Therefore, when Nortel Networks heard that Huaguo people wanted to buy patents. I hurriedly lowered the price, and I was afraid that the Huaguo merchants would not be able to hold on after a few years and would not buy anymore, so they signed a ten-year contract in one go, which is almost the expiration date of their patent protection period.

Otherwise, if calculated according to the normal situation, for a superpower larger and more populous than the United States, the entire optical fiber transmission equipment will cost at least hundreds of millions a year. And there will be a royalty for each piece of equipment produced.

They even gave up the royalties, which shows how they are not optimistic about the development of optical fiber in Huaguo.

They are not optimistic. Xiao Qi is very optimistic, even confirmed optimistic.

As long as the iphone comes out, the era of smart phones will start. From then on, Huaguo's demand for network speed will rise sharply, and the fiber optic technology that determines the network speed. It is the most important part.

If Xiao Qi did not miscalculate, Huaguo's three major network operators, Mobile Communications, Lianshu and Dentsu, would definitely not dare to use pirated versions. Therefore, the increase in Huaguo's network speed in the future should also be due to their purchase of technical patents. the result of.

If now the patent authorization of optical fiber transmission equipment is in his own hands. Then Xiao Qi and Huaguo's major operators have a natural advantage in cooperation, and they can even lay a good foundation for their future mobile phones to become contract phones of the three major companies.

Although Apple's mobile phone number, but the future Qiao Gangzhu, can also rely on the contract phones of various countries to develop so fast!

Signing a contract for ten years, this is a great thing that Xiao Qi never thought of before.

\u003cGod, the price will definitely skyrocket every year by then!

Now they handed over the ten-year patent license to Xiao Qi in one go, and the young man could only put it in his arms with a smile.

"I have no opinion on optical fiber transmission equipment." After thinking for a moment, Xiao Qi said in a leisurely manner, "But for the acquisition of the wcdma department, I hope to pay 100 million U.S. dollars first, and the second payment of 200 million U.S. dollars will wait until next year." Monthly payment, the last 100 million will be paid in March next year, what does Mr. Wade think?"

"This..." Wade thought for a while, "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to handle. They want to get the money sooner and get rid of this burden."

"In terms of money, it shouldn't be a problem. After all, for a large-scale acquisition, how can the money be paid immediately?" Xiao Qi had already planned, "As for the wcdma department, it is even simpler. Just transfer them to my company, and from the moment the contract is signed, their salaries and benefits will be borne by me, and I will guarantee that they will not be cut."

What Xiao Qi said is correct, in any mature acquisition case, the money will never be sent to the acquired company immediately after signing the contract, that is definitely the idiot behavior of the nouveau riche.

Even in the United States, it is normal for an acquisition to pay all the funds within one year.

Wade was stunned and said: "There are more than 80 people in their entire department, and the monthly salary, experiments, and administrative expenses have reached 3 million. If you take it in advance, it will cost you at least 10 million more. !"

"More than 10 million is nothing, the most important thing is to make them available to me sooner." Xiao Qi replied flatly.

The most important thing in the 21st century is talent.

Although this sentence was said in China, it is equally applicable in the United States, and it can even be applied anywhere.

When buying a company, the most important thing is not the patent right, because the patent right is generally 20 to 25 years old. In order to build your own patent fortress, you need to continuously invent new patented technologies.

And these employees who originally created the invention patents are naturally the most important human resources for further development. Starting from scratch is definitely not as easy as continuing to research. Of course Xiao Qi needs to calm their hearts.

Compared with the profits they will create for Xiao Qi through patents in the future, what is the mere tens of millions of dollars? (to be continued...)
