Top of the Great Era

Chapter 3192 Rules
Lee Zairong saw the situation and knew that he could not get a better result. "If this is the case, it will be difficult to form a joint force to encircle and suppress Ericsson."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "At least, Samsung and Estar are in a cooperative relationship, which will increase their say in the negotiations."

"Samsung is using the present as a bargaining chip, and Asda is using the future as a bargaining chip. It is obvious that Samsung has put in more effort. But the result of the negotiation is that both sides share it." Lee Zairong did not want to criticize him for making empty promises, so he used a joking tone, "Equal pay for equal work, isn't that what everyone is calling for now?"

Zhou Buqi shook his head and said, "The more uncertainty there is, the more things we can expect."

Lee Jae-yong said: “The transaction of intellectual property is different from the Internet.”

"Don't forget, Estar will file a lawsuit in the UK next. If there is a good result, it will also be good for you." Zhou Buqi waved his hand when he saw that he still wanted to argue. "Ericsson suddenly applied for a sales ban in India, which caused a serious blow to Estar's brand and business. I will definitely not let them succeed."

Lee Jae-yong laughed and said: "Ericsson is an accomplice of Qualcomm."

Zhou Buqi said: "Then we should teach them a lesson. I let Qualcomm succeed, but Ericsson will not make a penny from its self-developed chips in the short term, so all of Ericsson's plans will go down the drain. Uneven distribution of benefits is the easiest way to trigger conflicts within the alliance."

Li Zairong immediately understood the meaning of this.

On the surface, the purpose is to create rifts between Qualcomm and Ericsson by making the benefits uneven. In fact, it is also hinting that if Samsung and Estar are too concerned about the distribution of benefits, it will easily end this cooperation that has not yet taken shape.

There is nothing we can do about it.

Li Zairong had no choice but to accept it and said that he had to act as soon as possible and not waste time, and quickly form a team to talk to Ericsson.

Zhou Buqi asked again: "What's the situation with Apple and Ericsson?"

Li Zairong said: "It's nothing more than Ericsson wants more money, saying that Apple has infringed on 41 of their patents. Isn't it also because they saw that iPhone 6 completely broke the circle and sales had a leap forward, so they were not satisfied with the previous terms."

Zhou Buqi nodded and said, "Apple's self-developed chips have reached the eighth generation."

Li Zairong smiled and said, "Yes, in fact, Apple has been cooperating with Ericsson for seven years, and every year it has to pay a large amount of additional patent fees to Ericsson. It's just that this time Ericsson wants more money. This time they stepped forward, which can be regarded as a great help to Qualcomm."

“Apple, this is a bit difficult.”

Zhou Buqi could only mourn for Cook in silence.

I thought to myself that this is none of my business.

Apple has encountered so many troubles one after another. It can only be said that Apple makes too much money and everyone is jealous of it.

Especially after the iPhone 6 changed its design concept, it may not have made any breakthrough in terms of product artistry, and it may even have been reduced. However, in terms of market acceptance, the iPhone 6 can be said to be very popular and truly became popular all over the world.

After making so much money, you have to give some back, right?

Li Zairong smiled and said, "So I said, we need to reach an agreement with Ericsson as soon as possible. Let Ericsson focus more on Apple. Qualcomm, Nokia, and Ericsson are now in strong intellectual property litigation with Apple and are applying for sales bans. Apple will be in trouble."

Zhou Buqi said "hmm".

But he didn't feel happy about the misfortune. It's not because he holds a lot of Apple stocks and pays hundreds of millions of dollars in patent fees every year, which will not have a significant impact on Apple's tens of billions of dollars in profits. But through this incident, he also felt the strength of the existing global patent system.

Even a company as powerful as Apple has to admit defeat.

If Cook dares to show some "guts" and ignores their rules and follows his own rules, the result will inevitably be a ban on sales. Estar, Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi, Lenovo, ZTE, etc., of course, can't do it either. Faced with the modern patent system that has dominated the world for decades, everyone has to give in!

If you don’t give in and don’t pay, you will be banned from selling!
Do you have the guts to take it head on? Do you have the guts to be so far ahead and look down on everything?
I'll give you a discount on your legs!
The patent system established by these old capital empires relying on their first-mover advantage has had a huge impact on the current technological civilization. Even a powerful company like Apple has to surrender and become its grandson.

If Astar wants to do business in those developed countries without following their rules, it will be really difficult to make any progress.

Zhou Buqi sighed.

Fortunately.

Fortunately, we still have the domestic market, as well as poor and backward regions such as Latin America and Africa, which provide opportunities to moderately circumvent the world controlled by the capitalist empire.

No matter how much Nokia and Ericsson restrict, they can't control the Philco Group. As long as the Philco Group only makes low-end phones and doesn't dream of making big money in developed markets, it will be fine. Or maybe Old Yan is in high spirits recently, so he just needs to make drastic moves in the market, and there will be no trouble from those stabbings in the back.

……

Li Zairong said that one of his favorite domestic female stars is Tang Wei.

Zhou Buqi also wanted to arrange for Miss Tang to come over for dinner. Miss Tang's acting career in China was banned because of a large-scale movie, but she went to Korea to develop her career. As a result, she became unstoppable and became the top actress in Korea, sweeping all major awards.

Li Zairong didn't have much time and went back to his country without even having dinner.

So much so that in the evening, Lao Zhang asked me out again.

"League of Legends and DOTA2 are similar games, and the project teams in Changyou are also of the same level." Zhang Chaoyang saw him coming and quickly pulled him to sit down. "If we only make dramas about League of Legends and not shoot DOTA2, it will cause internal imbalance and even cause great management risks."

Zhou Buqi said unhappily, "I see you are not satisfied with just one project?"

Zhang Chaoyang said seriously: "Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about the stability of Changyou's management."

Zhou Buqi said: "The performance of League of Legends is there!"

"League of Legends has a very good report card, but that doesn't mean DOTA2 is a poor student. Among similar products in the world, League of Legends is number one and DOTA2 is number two. League of Legends had a revenue of $15 billion last year, and DOTA2 had a full $3 million."

Zhang Chaoyang argued convincingly.

Zhou Buqi looked at him strangely, "Who are you endorsing? Is there any executive who has secured you?"

Zhang Chaoyang said angrily: "Don't worry about who it is. What I said makes sense, right? "League of Legends" is very successful, but "DOTA2" is not a failure either. At least the global online football competition you are promoting is much better..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking about things that are not relevant to the topic." Zhou Buqi's forehead was full of black lines, "I think you just want to get more content resources for Sohu Video, and use Changyou to make profits for yourself!"
