Rebirth: Dominate The World, Starting From The School Network

Chapter 188 The Outrageous Gambling Agreement

Lu Yi looked at Alvin Jacob, who was smiling and looking kind.

I kept cursing secretly in my heart, this old man's heart was simply dark.

You really treated him like a big fat sheep and slaughtered him!

"No, no, no, Mr. Jacob, you are robbing, you are robbing, it is impossible for us to accept this condition!"

Lu Yi pretended to roar in anger.

"The patent licensing fee is 50 million meters per year, and a high-end baseband chip is 80 meters per year. Each mobile device has to pay an additional patent fee of 10% of the total cost.

"You are totally robbing and trying to fool around!"

Alvin Jacob looked like I was not fooling around, and said very seriously: "No, no, no, Mr. Lu, you should know that knowledge is priceless! In order to research related technologies, our company has invested in it We have invested countless funds, and our conditions are very reasonable, which also reflects the value of knowledge!”

"Mr. Jacob, I admit that you have invested a lot of money in the research and development of technology, but this cannot be the reason for you to blackmail us!"

"We spent 80 meters each to buy your company's baseband chip, but we still have to pay you an additional patent fee of 10% of the selling price of the whole machine. This is a second charge, which is completely unreasonable!"

Lu Yi argued for 893.

Of course, both sides are acting.

It is a bargaining process.

But obviously, Lu Yi is the weak side.

Because Gao Tong controls the technology and takes the absolute initiative.

"Okay, we can give your company a little discount and reduce the 10% ratio to 9.5%. This is our sincerity and bottom line." Ivan Jacob said.

Lu Yi rolled her eyes inwardly.

Go away!

So sincere!

The 10% patent licensing fee has doubled. Do you really think I don’t know anything?

"Mr. Alvin Jacob, this time I am very sincere in seeking cooperation with Gao Tong, but now your company does not seem to have enough sincerity in cooperation.

"If this is the case, then we can only change a collaborator, such as Texas Instruments. I believe they will be happy to cooperate with our company.

Lu Yi said lightly.

Gaotong is indeed very strong in baseband chips, but it is not without opponents at this stage.

Such as Texas Instruments, Botong, Freescale, Skyworks and other companies.

Among them, Texas Instruments is the company's biggest competitor.

Although Texas (Ahee) Instruments was later suppressed by Gaotong and gave up the mobile phone baseband chip business in 2008, it focused on the development, manufacturing, and sales of semiconductor and computer technology, mainly engaged in the research and manufacturing of innovative digital signal processing and analog circuits. and sales.

But at this stage, Texas Instruments is not much inferior to Gaotong in terms of mobile phone baseband chips.

Texas Instruments was the bargaining chip between Lu Yi and Gao Tong.

really.

Hearing this, Alvin Jacob's face changed slightly.

Peers know the strength of their peers best.

If Gaotong wants to completely monopolize the market in baseband chips, completely defeating Texas Instruments is what must be done.

Because at this stage, Nokia, which has a global mobile phone market share of 49%, was able to take over the throne from Motorola because of its in-depth cooperation with Texas Instruments.

From the very beginning, Nomagia selected Texas Instruments, which has the strongest strength and the most complete product line in the semiconductor industry, as its design partner.

Texas Instruments' superb technical capabilities have brought Noah a rich product line and stable communication signal quality.

There are few other manufacturers that have launched so many models and not had a few models that were messed up due to quality.

This shows Texas Instruments’ strong strength in baseband chips.

If you hadn't known that Texas Instruments later began to hate the baseband chip business, because the annual update was too fast, and the return on investment of resources was much worse than that of industrial chips, in 2008, it announced that it would gradually withdraw from the baseband business.

Lu Yi wanted to cooperate directly with Texas Instruments, not Gao Tong.

Because Texas Instruments does not have a "decent tax".

"In this case, each baseband chip is 70 meters gold, and a 6% patent licensing fee will be drawn based on the selling price of the whole machine."

Evan Jacobs lowered the conditions a lot.

Lu Yi said: "The annual patent licensing fee is 30 million yuan, and the baseband chip is 50 yuan. The patent licensing fee is 1.5% of the selling price of the whole machine. Lu Yi opened his mouth directly.

After hearing this condition, how could Alvin Jacob agree!

He shook his head like a rattle on the spot.

"No-no-no, we Gao Tong will never agree to this condition!"

"Even if you go to Texas Instruments to cooperate because of this, we will not agree."

"At the same time, if your company cooperates with Texas Instruments, our company will not authorize any wireless communication technology to your company!"

Alvin Jacob made a direct threat.

Jacob's reaction was as expected by Lu Xi.

He also knew very well that Jacob would not agree to his condition.

The reason why I said it was just for the sake of the next plan.

"It's better than this, Mr. Jacob, our company will sign a gambling agreement with your company." Lu Yi said with a smile, his eyes flashing.

"Betting agreement?" Alvin Jacob was stunned.

Lu Yi said: “The mobile terminal equipment launched by Blue Star Electronics lasts for one year from the date of launch. Within one year, the shipment volume of the equipment is within 200,000 units. Each unit sold is calculated as a complete machine. The patent licensing fee is 20% based on the selling price. If the annual shipment is 500,000 units, the ratio is 15%. If the annual shipment is 1 million units, the fee is 7.5%. If the annual shipment is 2 million units, the fee is 3%. If the volume exceeds 2 million units, each unit will be paid at a rate of 0.2%. In addition, the shipments I am talking about are global shipments, not a single market."

Lu Yi's words directly shocked Alvin Jacob.

You know, in the global mobile phone market, there is no Longguo brand among the top ten.

It has always been occupied by brands such as Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola, Dongmenzi, Sanxing, and LG.

If Lu Yi wants to enter the global market and get a share of the cake from these major international manufacturers, the possibility is almost zero.

As for Longguo’s local mobile phone market, although Longguo’s local brands bucked the trend and gained 60% of the domestic market share last year, it was nothing more than a flash in the pan, and has started to fall sharply since the beginning of this year.

Naturally, this falling share was taken back by many foreign brands such as Nokia and Ericsson.

In Alvin Jacob's opinion, even 200,000 units are not enough for Blue Star Electronics to ship, let alone more than 2 million units!

So where did Lu Yi get the courage to propose such an outrageous gambling agreement with him?

This is just to give him more money.

after all.

If according to Lu Yi's formulation, the sales volume is within 200,000 units, the patent fee ratio of Blue Star Electronics will be as high as 20%.

Even if the shipment volume is 500,000 units, 15% will be charged.

As for 2 million units and above...

is it possible?

I want to eat shit!

Lu Yi was asked to pay 6% of the patent fee, but Lu Yi refused to accept it. As a result, he had to pay 20% instead.

Is there such a good thing in heaven?!
