Chapter 314 One Peach Kills Three Soldiers
Dongling High-tech has made some restrictions in advance for domestic companies such as UTStarcom, Amoi, and BBK that are allowed to produce PHS.

PHS products produced by Starcom, Amoi, BBK and other companies can be allowed to be sold in China, but if they want to be sold abroad, they need the consent of Tanglin Hi-Tech!
Tanglin Hi-Tech is keeping a close eye on this. There are more companies producing PHS, and most of them will be involved in domestic involution and engage in price wars, which will also benefit domestic users. Tanglin Hi-Tech can accept this and treat it as a way to cultivate the domestic mobile phone market.

But if due to involution and price wars, the overseas mobile phone market is also disrupted and overseas markets such as Japan, Siam, Malaysia, and Brazil are cheaper, then Tanglin Hi-Tech will not be willing to do so!

However, although Amoi, BBK, Starcom, etc. are not allowed to enter overseas markets at the moment, the more users abroad who use PHS, the more beneficial it will be for them. If they cannot export overseas now, it does not mean that they will not be able to in the future. !

Just like the current domestic PHS market, Tanglin Hi-Tech was not the only one before. But now, faced with a serious shortage of production capacity and the emergence of counterfeit PHS manufacturers, Tanglin Hi-Tech still gives up. The authority to produce PHS has been granted, although the commission for PHS produced by Amoi, Starcom and other companies is very serious...

But the news about PHS overseas has finally raised expectations among domestic PHS manufacturers. If they can export it one day, they will be able to earn foreign exchange!

Companies that can earn foreign exchange are now at the top of the industry in China. They can get large loans from banks, enjoy tax refund policies, and be cultivated as key companies by the local city government. What company doesn't want such treatment!
Two major events in the domestic technology industry are both related to Donglin Hi-Tech. The first event is that PHS received a large overseas order.

The second thing is that Dongling Hi-Tech, the company that invented the Shenzhou USB flash drive, publicly announced that it would only license USB flash drive patents to five companies globally!

That is to say, in the future, only five companies in the world, including Tanglin Hi-Tech itself, will be allowed to produce USB flash drive products within at least 20 years of the USB flash drive patent held by Tanglin Hi-Tech.

As soon as this news came out, the technology industry was almost in an uproar. Not only domestic, but also foreign companies that were ready to take advantage of USB flash drives were also hit in the head.

As soon as the news came out, the domestic manufacturers of Luwen Yipan, Acer, Patriot, and Lenovo who were working overtime to imitate Shenzhou USB flash drives have not yet spoken out. Foreign SanDisk, Kingston, Toshiba, Sony, Samsung, and Hebrew Systems, Singapore Trek, and other companies that wanted to produce USB flash drives were immediately overwhelmed.

Tanglin High-tech subsequently announced that it would license the third quota for USB flash drive production patents to IBM, an old American technology giant!

Tanglin Hi-Tech announced that as long as IBM wants to produce USB flash drives and is willing to reach a corresponding agreement with Tanglin Hi-Tech, it can produce USB flash drives.

Previously, Bienwei Company took away a quota for U disk production from Dongling Hi-Tech. Donglin Hi-Tech occupied one quota, and only three companies were left with the remaining quota!

"We must launch a class action lawsuit against Tanglin Hi-Tech. I think that Hebrew, America, Europe and other places should launch antitrust investigations against Shenzhou USB flash drives, and even prohibit Tanglin Hi-Tech from selling Shenzhou USB flash drives in these regions. !”

Other companies, especially small and medium-sized memory manufacturers, are constantly clamoring and clamoring, threatening to sue Donglin Hi-Tech for antitrust. These small and medium-sized memory manufacturers understand that if there are only five companies in the world that can produce USB flash drives, then they must be Giant companies can get opportunities, but it is not their turn to take advantage.

But IBM responded quickly. Although it didn't know what conditions Dongling wanted, it soon announced that it was willing to develop the USB flash drive industry with Dongling Hi-tech, and quickly sent IBM executives in mainland China to contact Dongling Hi-tech.

Hebrew Systems is more demanding, and it should go directly to Tanglin Hi-Tech through Hebrew and American media.

Donglin Hi-tech's move is obviously to cut off their opportunity to enter the USB flash drive industry and earn dividends. How can these companies be willing to do so!
The president of SanDisk directly criticized Donglin Hi-Tech in the media, "Dongli Hi-Tech is completely taking advantage of Donglin Hi-Tech's patent advantage in the USB flash drive industry and wants to monopolize the entire USB flash drive industry!"

Although the reasons given by Donglin Hi-Tech are to ensure the healthy development of the USB flash drive industry, to avoid the proliferation of shoddy USB flash drives, causing users to suffer losses, and to provide users with USB flash drives with higher technical content, etc., in the technology industry, who It’s hard to tell that Donglin Hi-Tech has joined forces with four other companies to form an alliance that will reap U disk dividends and prevent other companies from getting involved in this industry.

But regardless of how companies in the memory industry reacted, Tanglin Hi-Tech quickly announced companies willing to license U disk patents.

To be honest, IBM was surprised when it heard the news. It did not expect that Tanglin Hi-Tech would give it this quota.

Although IBM is a giant company with a century-old history, it is true that it is arrogant, but this does not mean that IBM can be arrogant about the U.S. dollars delivered to the door, especially the current IBM president Gerard Gerstner, who attaches great importance to the mainland market.

U disk will be a profitable market in the future. Everyone knows this. Now Tanglin Hi-Tech has restricted only five companies to produce this thing. As long as you get the quota, you can make money in the future, earning hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Even billions of dollars is not difficult at all. How could IBM give up!

After IBM, Tanglin Hi-tech unexpectedly gave the fourth USB flash drive quota to the European OEM giant Antarctic. No, it was the Philips Group! The current Philips Group is not the OEM giant nicknamed the European version of Antarctica. It still has its own operations, especially in the field of medical equipment. It is still very promising. More than ten years ago, the predecessor of ASML lithography machine , it was through joining forces with Philips and getting the first pot of gold from Philips that the current Philips came into existence.

In addition, TSMC, which is rushing towards the global chip foundry king, was also cultivated by Philips. Philips used patents, technology, and orders in the early stage to help TSMC gain a firm foothold.

Apart from these two companies, NXP, the automotive chip giant in the previous life, was formerly the semiconductor department of Philips. In terms of R&D strength, to be honest, Philips at this time defeated all its opponents in an instant.

If the story only ends here, then Philips will still be the Royal Philips, the crown jewel of European technology. With ASML, TSMC and NXP in hand, Philips will definitely have a place in the history of global technology in the future, even if it is OEM, OEM Feitu is a bit more expensive than other brands.

But it was Philips like this who, in later generations, began to engage in OEM, and it was even more exaggerated than the Antarctic people. From electrical appliances to skin care products, to mobile phones, driving recorders, etc., there was no brand that Philips did not dare to emblazon.

The person in Pan Ga's acquaintance sold Philips mobile phones and made 28 million in one night. He just didn't know that those buyers who drank Ga Zi's fake wine and placed orders would buy back "big brand" Philips mobile phones. What kind of experience is there.

The reason why Donglin High-tech gave the fourth USB flash drive quota to Philips is naturally because it wants to use Philips' influence and strength in Europe to safeguard the profits of Shenzhou USB flash drives in Europe.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that Philips is not cool yet. With Philips coming forward, those brands that dare to produce U disks without Tanglin Hi-Tech's authorization will not be able to sell them in Europe.

Choosing IBM has the same meaning. If there is only Bienwei, it may not be able to take care of the patent of U disk in North America. But if you add IBM, an old gangster in the technology industry and the famous troublemaker, it will be completely different. .

As a veteran in the technology industry, IBM has never seen anything like this, and it is easy to deal with ordinary copycat pirated USB flash drive manufacturers.

In addition to wooing IBM and Philips on board, they can help Tanglin Hi-Tech to protect the USB flash drive patents held by Tanglin Hi-Tech from being infringed by some companies with ulterior motives. In fact, Donglin Hi-Tech chose these two companies to cooperate. It’s the same choice as Bienwei.

They all want to obtain hard drive technology and patents from IBM and Philips. IBM is the first company in the world to experiment with solid-state drives, and it has quite rich technical reserves in this area.

Philips is an expert in semiconductors. If it can get help from Philips, then Tanglin Hi-Tech's chances of developing a solid-state drive will naturally be much greater!

There are not a few companies that can see the way Donglin Hi-tech plays this game. After all, it is almost a well-known brand. If Donglin Hi-tech is alone, SanDisk and other companies are not afraid of infringing on Tanglin Hi-tech's U disk patent.

It’s just an Asian continental company. So what if they infringe the law? What can Tangling Hi-Tech do to them? What are their plans? If Tanglin Hi-Tech sues one by one, even if they win the lawsuit, the maximum compensation will be hundreds of millions of dollars. , and then I can continue to sell U disks. Compared with the money earned from selling U disks, the fine is not painful at all.

But when Tanglin Hi-tech brings in companies such as Bienwei, IBM, and Philips, the situation is different. The four companies joining forces will definitely make it difficult for any company to go around. When the time comes, it will not be fined. Compensation is so simple. Maybe not even one of the USB flash drives produced can be sold in America, North America, or Europe!

By this time, SanDisk, Toshiba, Samsung, Sony, Kingston and other companies no longer want to scold Tanglin Hi-Tech, because there is only one quota left to produce USB flash drives. If they can't grab the quota, they will have to Being blocked from the U disk industry!

There is no need for Donglin Hi-tech to do anything else. A group of memory companies have started fighting among themselves for the last USB flash drive quota. Which of these companies is willing to hand over a future business worth more than one billion US dollars per year or even more revenue? Give in?
For a time, a group of companies such as SanDisk and Toshiba, which had scolded Donglin Hi-tech very harshly, sent people to Hanxi in a hurry, trying to grab the last USB disk quota. The anti-Dongli Hi-tech alliance had not yet been formed. , just like chickens and tile dogs, they just started fighting among themselves and disbanded!

……

“Donngling Hi-Tech doesn’t want to become the Daewoo Company of Hanxi?”

In Pingyang, Hanxi, Zhou Weikun, president of IBM's mainland region, came to the headquarters of Dongling Hi-Tech and asked Li Dongling curiously. He was also looking at the founder of a rising technology star company in mainland China and even Asia.
