Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1680 The means of big entrepreneurs

The matter of the patent lawsuit is very complicated, and Zhou Buqi and Zhou Shaoning really can't explain it clearly in a few simple sentences.

Still have to find a chance to go to the United States.

Google can't afford to offend, and it has to rely on other people's Android system to survive.Apple can't afford to offend it. Once the patent stick falls, it may be seriously injured.

Domestic companies lack experience in dealing with such matters.

As for American technology companies, every single one must have encountered a patent crisis.There are usually two types of solutions, one is to spend money to eliminate disasters, just give money.

In the past few years, Apple has suffered a lot in this regard. It is always sued, always loses and always pays.The most ruthless one is of course Qualcomm.

Jobs was also forced to do nothing, and he wanted to do his own research to bypass the other party's patents.This is the second way - independent research and development.

Fortunately, the core patents that Apple now has are mainly around the touch screen interface and gesture operation.

These are relatively low-end design patents.

It is incomparable with the hard-core technology of Qualcomm.

That leaves a lot of room for maneuver.

In Zhou Buqi's view, spending a sum of money to settle with Apple is the best solution.A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.If there is a geopolitical problem that cannot be solved even with money, then that is the real problem.

Smartphones are only in the early days, and the patents owned by Apple are actually early patents.

Asda spent a sum of money to relieve the current risk.

There will be a way to handle apples in the future.

Zhou Buqi has used smartphones for so many years and knows more about smartphone operation methods, such as sliding up to unlock, such as fingerprint unlocking, face unlocking and other solutions.

Asda only needs to apply for a patent for the relevant design scheme, and it will have a way to control Apple.

Apple doesn't really have to worry about that.

The trouble is Google.

It is necessary to have a good relationship with Google. With the support of Google and the adaptation of the Android system, many design ideas in smartphones can be realized.

Now Google has great ambitions and wants to attract more mobile phone manufacturers to join the Android camp.If you want to promote this matter, you must first draw a road for Android manufacturers to let them know what they can do and what they can't do, so as not to be suppressed by the patent stick.

But what things will be suppressed?

do not know!
This thing is not enough to rely on analysis alone, and it is not enough to find experts to evaluate it. It must go to court.

From now on, Android phones will only be active in Google's patent camp, try not to invade Apple's territory, and you can avoid the big stick of patents.

This requires a thug to play.

Who will represent Android phones in a lawsuit against Apple phones?Of course, Google chose Estar, the pillar of the Android camp, and Samsung also volunteered to rush forward.

In other words, Astar's lawsuit against Apple does not represent itself, but the entire Android mobile phone alliance.Regardless of winning or losing, the final court will make a ruling, publicize the results, and report which designs are not infringing and which designs are infringing.

In this way, future Android phones will find ways to avoid those infringing patents, or just spend money to buy them.And for those patents that do not infringe, there is no need to waste money to buy them.

The advantage of going to court is that the boundaries are clear, and the money that should not be spent does not need to be spent; the disadvantage is that it is uncontrollable, and if it is not done well, it will be sanctioned and banned.

The advantage of not going to court is that you can avoid the risk of being banned from selling; the disadvantage is that you may be cheated and spend a lot of money.

This is a major issue that cannot be resolved overnight.

Let's take a look at the reactions of other mobile phone manufacturers.

When I got home at night, I found that Wu Yu was there, just after taking a bath, looking exhausted and tired.

She has been very busy recently.

She is responsible for the operation of the blind box business.

The new season of European football will start soon, and the first batch of blind boxes for the new season will be produced in China and shipped to Europe.In the past more than a month, Wu Yu didn't go anywhere, just staring at this stall in the magic city.

"Honey, I'm free!"

Seeing Zhou Buqi, Wu Yu smiled like a flower, and walked over with open arms.

"nailed it?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and held her in his arms.

Wu Yu said happily: "Well, it's done. The first batch has been shipped, a total of 200 million blind boxes. It is expected that on the 15th of this month, it will be opened simultaneously in London, Manchester, Madrid, Milan, and Munich. Sold. There is a supplier of cardboard boxes. They heard that we are rushing here, and they wanted to increase the price before the battle, but I eliminated it."

"How did it die?"

"Look for a relationship!"

"what relationship?"

"The relationship between the Shi family," Wu Yu said confidently, "it was agreed, but I wanted to take advantage of the fire, how can I do business like this? So I asked the industry and commerce, taxation, fire protection, market supervision, etc. to seal their factory. Yes, as soon as we checked it out. In less than an hour, their boss gave in."

Zhou Buqi was stunned, "Is this how you do business?"

Wu Yu blinked, "That's right! Hmm... It wasn't my idea, don't criticize me, it was arranged by Shi Jingmei, she was looking for a relationship, her Uncle Guan."

Zhou Buqi was also helpless.

It doesn't matter if you can't do business in this traditional industry.

"Why did you raise the price temporarily? Didn't you sign the contract?"

"I signed it, but they said that the supply is tight and out of stock. If you want the goods, you have to pay more. It looks like a black-hearted businessman. After a while, I promise to clean them up and change to another supplier! Hmph!"

Wu Yu was puffed up and pinched her waist.

Zhou Buqi took off his coat. It was a hot day, so he went home for a swim first, and then did other things.

Wu Yu just washed her body with a fragrant body wash, so she won't swim in the water.She was sitting by the swimming pool, talking trivially about her glorious resume as a strong woman who can handle suppliers while talking and laughing.

"You can't do this."

After swimming around, Zhou Buqi half-body submerged in the water, lying on the edge of the swimming pool to tell her.

Wu Yu asked: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Buqi said: "It's not good for you to handle supplier relationships like this. You can't use morals to restrain others, you have to use systems. Incompetent people are kidnapped by morals. A good system can make suppliers who have no bottom line and no morals better. If the system is poor, good suppliers will try their best to make money.”

"Then what is a good system?"

At this time, the nanny brought a plate of fruit, and Wu Yu sat cross-legged by the pool, picked up a cherry and put it into Zhou Buqi's mouth.

Zhou Buqi pondered for a while, "There are three toy production lines in domestic factories, right?"

Wu Yu nodded lightly, "Yes."

Zhou Buqi said: "That's simple, you go to two carton suppliers. One of them supplies two production lines, and the other supplies one production line. If this arrangement is made, guess what will happen?"

After a lot of experience, Wu Yu is not stupid anymore, and replied: "The more supplies, the higher the profits. For these two suppliers, they both hope to supply to the two production lines, and they will compete."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "That's right, competition is the most advanced productivity, and we must avoid monopoly in the system. Let these two suppliers compete. Do a random inspection and evaluation every month, and the random inspection index is better. That supplier will be able to supply two production lines next month. In this way, in order to earn more money, the supplier must strictly control its own quality, because there is competition, and they dare not easily Take care of Party A."

Wu Yumei's eyes sparkled, "Honey, you are so smart!"

"So-so, not as smart as you."

"No way, you are so smart. Well, Baoshan said that you are a master of management, really amazing."

Wu Yu admired him sincerely.

She was just casually complaining about some small problems she encountered at work. Unexpectedly, her husband just listened to a few words and gave the best solution.

This is not much better than looking for someone to entrust a relationship, and asking some fire, industry and commerce, taxation, security inspection and other agencies to come to investigate if you get a favor?This is the cowardly way of the second generation.

Take a look at Boss Zhou, and start directly from the system level, this is the method of a big entrepreneur!

Understatement, hit the nail on the head!
