Rebuild 2005

Chapter 940 [939] Moat
"Don't be tired, pay more attention to rest, continue to walk every morning and evening, but not for too long, especially dogs, pay more attention, let Qingfan and Miaomiao take care..."

Li Wanyi has been pregnant for more than two months, but she didn't have much reaction. She eats well, sleeps well, and is in a good mood. She should belong to the lucky type of physique. However, Wang Shuhua is still worried, and before she leaves, Also repeat the warnings.

"I know~"

Li Wanyi was not impatient, she seemed to be enjoying this feeling, sweetly agreed, and said: "Dad, Mom, and grandparents, you should pay more attention to your health at home."

"it is good."

Wang Shuhua smiled and agreed, paused, and said: "If you are free, call your mother more often."

"Ah."

Li Wanyi continued to nod obediently.

"let's go."

Brothers Wei Peng and Wei Sheng drove a group of juniors to the station, waved goodbye, and watched them enter the station with their suitcases, stood there looking at each other, and then boarded the car and went home.

"Sister-in-law, I'll go with you~"

The county seat is a small station, but the construction is very "complete", and there is a special VIP channel. Several people went there and waited, and then got on the bus ahead of time.

"Can you run away?"

Wei Qingchan was not in a hurry, and dragged the suitcase and walked over in a leisurely manner. The distance was very short, and after getting on the bus, he quickly found the compartment.

Wei Qingfan and Li Wanyi sat in two seats together, Wei Qingchan, Wei Qinghuan and Li Wanyun were on the other side, Wei Qinghuan was afraid that the elder sister would hit him, so he purposely pushed Li Wanyun in the middle, and sat near the aisle. Easy to escape at any time.

"Don't look, you are not allowed to run."

Wei Qingfan saw Li Wanyi looking over there with a smile, and reminded with a smile, "Among the major precepts my mother ordered, there is no strenuous exercise."

Li Wanyi rolled her eyes at him, leaned her head on his shoulder, looked at him with charming bright eyes, and whispered: "Husband~"

"Ok?"

Wei Qingfan gave her a questioning look.

Li Wanyi pursed her lips and smiled: "It's okay~"

Wei Qingfan smiled, held one of her palms, put it in his hand and stroked it lightly, and said in a low voice, "Are you sure you want to go with me?"

"go."

Li Wanyi looked up at him, her charming eyes sparkled, "Auntie called me to go, why didn't I go?"

"..."

Wei Qingfan looked down at her, and said with a smile, "You call me Auntie, I always feel like calling me Mom."

"Not anymore."

Li Wanyi pinched him lightly, then heard a grunt beside her, turned her head and saw Wei Qinghuan, Li Wanyun, and Wei Qingchan poking their heads, looking at the loving and affectionate with numb and teasing expressions two people.

Li Wanyi rolled her eyes, she didn't avoid suspicion at all, anyway, she didn't need to avoid suspicion, she still leaned on Wei Qingfan's shoulder, and put on an arrogant posture of "He is my husband, I am his wife, what's wrong?"

Wei Qingfan also took a look with his head, but ignored it, and said: "Then we two will go there together later, but time is running out, so we have to leave soon."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid."

The train rattled forward on the plain and came to the provincial capital. The branch here sent two cars to pick it up. Wei Qingfan and Li Wanyi went to Li Miaoyu's house, and Wei Qingchan and the others went directly to the airport.

When Li Wanyi came to the door for the first time, she would not only bring eggs, but also went to the mall to buy some gifts on the way, and carried them there together.

Wei Qingfan told Li Shuqing and Zhao Yaquan in advance that Li Shuqing was not at home and Zhao Yaquan was alone.

When they arrived at the place, the car was waiting at the door. The two entered the yard and rang the doorbell. An aunt came to open the door. When the two entered, Zhao Yaquan went downstairs in his home clothes, and said with a smile, "You are here?"

"Auntie hello~"

Li Wanyi stood up and bowed slightly to greet her, Wei Qingfan also smiled and said, "Are you busy?"

"Sit, sit."

Zhao Yaquan motioned them to sit down, then smiled and said: "Not busy, take some free time, I'm writing."

She saw the boxes with obviously different gift packages placed in the living room, and she smiled strangely: "What is this?"

"egg."

Wei Qingfan explained, "My grandma asked me to bring the chickens I raised at home, which are more nutritious."

"Then you still bring it?"

Zhao Yaquan said a little funny, "Leave it for the old man, and Wanyi is pregnant? I have a place to take it here, so don't worry."

Wei Qingfan said: "There are still some chickens at home."

Li Wanyi also smiled and said, "We took it too."

Zhao Yaquan sat down to boil water to make tea, looked at Li Wanyi, and asked with a smile, "How are you?"

Li Wanyi knew what she was asking, she was a little embarrassed, nodded and said: "It's pretty good, and there is no response."

"That's pretty good. When I was pregnant with Miaomiao, I vomited all day long and couldn't eat anything. Later, I wanted to eat cold rolls and added more vinegar. Three meals a day, two meals of cold..."

Zhao Yaquan talked about interesting things in the past, and reminded some precautions by the way. Li Wanyi agreed one by one. They looked like elders and juniors who had been together for a long time and had a harmonious relationship. They all hit the ground.

"Why don't you take two more days off?"

After chatting with Li Wanyi for a while, Zhao Yaquan refilled tea and asked Wei Qingfan, "Is the company busy?"

"It's not too busy, the main thing is that the stall is so big at once."

Wei Qingfan laughed, "Lingxi is preparing to file a lawsuit with the three major operators, and has patent issues to discuss with Qualcomm..."

Zhao Yaquan wondered: "Isn't the reason why Qualcomm was chosen because it can avoid patent problems?"

"There are considerations in this regard. Qualcomm has a patent umbrella, and the trouble is also because of this."

Qualcomm's "patent umbrella" is mainly in the baseband, but it also covers other aspects, and there is a very overbearing clause:
As long as you use a Qualcomm processor, you will authorize your own related patents to Qualcomm by default, and other manufacturers that use Qualcomm processors can directly use your patents!
Through this overlord clause, Qualcomm's patent umbrella has grown rapidly and become thicker and thicker, which is very beneficial to manufacturers who are unwilling to invest in research and development, and can also greatly reduce the entry threshold for smartphones.

However, this is very disadvantageous for manufacturers willing to invest in research and development.

Because you invest a lot of money in research and development, as long as you use Qualcomm's processor, other manufacturers can directly use it for free.

In later generations, after Huawei used Qualcomm processors to achieve "seamless folding" on the folding screen through the "water drop hinge", other mobile phone manufacturers, even if it is the first time to make a folding screen, can directly make a seamless folding The folding screen is here, and the root is here.

——Samsung has made several generations of folding screens, but it has not yet achieved seamless folding!
Due to Qualcomm's terms, Yu Chengdong could only hint wildly at the press conference. First, he said at the P50 Pocket press conference that "any company's folding screen has no gaps, it must have used Huawei's patents", and then Mate X3 "This is Huawei's exclusive patented technology, and it is also used by our domestic counterparts for free, and they don't pay patent fees..."

The root cause is here, because Huawei uses Qualcomm processors, then the patents on your mobile phone belong to everyone. As long as others buy Qualcomm processors, they can use them for free. Even if Meizu wants to make a folding screen, it only needs to be processed by Qualcomm The device can also be directly in place in one step to make a folding screen mobile phone without gaps.

If it weren't for being suppressed by Qualcomm's terms, how could other companies be so unscrupulous, and how could Huawei be so talkative?
When Gushici started, it needed Qualcomm's patent protection umbrella, and of course it still needs it now, but Wei Qingfan didn't want Gushici's patents to be directly used by peers.

He is asking people to talk to the company, and wants to get back the patent of the "waist round key".

Now there are various operation methods for Android phones, such as virtual buttons on the screen, three King Kong buttons, Samsung long strip physical buttons... Meizu's small dots are coming soon, and it can be said that a hundred flowers are blooming.

However, when fingerprint recognition becomes popular, physical buttons will quickly become the mainstream. In the original history, Huawei insisted on fingerprint recognition on the back at first, but in the later period, it can also transform to the front physical buttons. As for Mi OV and other manufacturers, early Started the front fingerprint recognition.

After 15 years, until the popularity of full screens, almost all the streets are "waist buttons".

This is impossible, because there are not many shapes to choose from. Apple occupies the round buttons, Samsung occupies the long buttons, and the rest are ellipse and square. The square is too ugly, and the ellipse becomes most preferred.

The shape of the button is not protected by patents. Other manufacturers’ scruples in this regard are mainly because they are afraid of being scolded. Apple and Samsung are both international manufacturers. Manufacturer, at worst, I will change the arc a little bit, brother, is it enough to give you face?
It is impossible to completely eliminate this kind of plagiarism, and it is unreasonable. You can’t design a straight road, so you can’t allow other people to design a straight road, right?
There is only one way to prevent others from copying the "waist round key", which is to increase your own recognition and influence. If you can really reach the level where you can compete with Apple and Samsung, you can't say that no one dares to copy, at least the big manufacturers who want to face are not will copy.

The face here is not the face of the person in charge, but the brand image. Plagiarism is a shortcut, saving money, trouble and insurance, but the blow to the brand image is too great. For example, the famous Mi 8, it can be said that it directly interrupted Xiaomi. Want to hit the high-end spine.

If you want to prevent other companies from copying the waist round key, you can only rely on improving brand influence. There is no other way, but the "Ruyi Gesture" born out of Meizu's "m-Back" can be withdrawn from the patent.

In the original history, this is the patent that stuck to other domestic mobile phone manufacturers. Meizu’s interaction is so easy to use, but Meizu would rather die than surrender. Without Qualcomm’s processor, other manufacturers cannot use it.

Therefore, several manufacturers of HMOV can only show their talents and develop various wonderful interaction methods on this elliptical button. For example, Huawei is simply the most garbage one, not even as good as many counterfeit mobile phones.

Nowadays, every company is still figuring out the development direction of smartphones. There is a gap in fingerprint recognition, and the "waist round key" has not been taken seriously. Fingerprint recognition will be launched next year. Therefore, Wei Qingfan wants to change this patent from "shared" as soon as possible. Take it off the list.

This matter has been discussed for a long time. Qualcomm obviously doesn't care about this patent, but it refuses to give in.

In layman's terms, it is: "Now it's a matter of your attitude!"

Wei Qingfan was very aggrieved, but he had no choice but to hold back because he wanted to use other people's processors. When he returned this time, he planned to talk to Qualcomm again.

Even if it is to increase the purchase volume and replace all low-end processors with Qualcomm, this patent must be removed from the shared list.

This is one of the "moats" of the ancient poetry company in a full three or four years after the popularization of fingerprint recognition and before the popularization of full screens.

The high-end of the brand is not about stacking parameters, hardware, or even not caring about hardware parameters. The "moat" is the focus of high-end. No one else has it. If you want a certain function, you can only buy your product, even if other No matter how bad it is, it can only be tolerated.

Like apples.

The importance of the "waist round key" is naturally incomparable with Apple's IOS, software and hardware integration and other advantages. No matter the difficulty or function is not at the same level, but if you want to climb up from scratch, you have to accumulate a little bit. Family property, and work hard to keep it.
