Rebirth of the internet boss

Chapter 482 Patent Corridor
The time of Li Feng's visit this time happened to be the node of Qualcomm's rise. At this time, Qualcomm was not the communication giant and chip giant that "charged the world's fees".
And Paul Jacobs didn't say, "Competitors have no reason to like us, but they'll pay us anyway," which then turns into "We have money for lawyers."

This is Li Feng's most powerful "foresight". Knowing that you will rise is like knowing that your home will be demolished. You can "hold your thighs" in advance.
Moreover, Li Feng's advantage at the "strategic level" becomes more and more important the later he goes, especially for companies at the level of Fengrui, where there are people with technology and capital,
The most important thing is the strategy. As long as the general direction is right, the development of the enterprise will not be a problem. What's more, Li Feng is often good at turning "thighs" into "thighs".

Now Fengrui needs the support of Qualcomm, and Qualcomm also needs the support of Fengrui!

At this time, Qualcomm was far from being as domineering as in the previous life, and it was still surrounded by enemies. The situation was more critical. On the one hand, the lawsuit with Nokia, from America to Europe, and from Europe to Asia, filed 11 lawsuits on three continents around the world , even if it is still fighting non-stop until now, no one is willing to give in;
On the other hand, in terms of communication standards, Intel is sweeping with a so-called 3.5G WiMax standard, trying to replace CDMA, and Intel's WiMAX has been accepted by the International Telecommunication Union as the fourth 3G standard in the world, and has been allocated to the global frequency , which has formed a direct threat to Qualcomm.

And Paul Jacobs just took office as Qualcomm's CEO not long ago, and before he could sit still, he was very dizzy when he faced two powerful enemies at once, because no one believed him.
Even though he has repeatedly emphasized that "it is the board's choice for me to be CEO, not my father's choice", it is undeniable that he can be a CEO because his father is the founder of Qualcomm.

So Paul Jacob also wants to start a career, but he has not found a suitable entry point, and the current mobile phone market is still dominated by Nokia.

However, the iPhone mobile phone that Jobs was planning to launch and the Android system that Li Feng was planning to launch made Paul Jacob think that this might be a good entry point, and he even had a feeling that a new era was coming.

So for this meeting with Li Feng, Paul Jacob is also very important. Before Li Feng and the others arrived, he had been waiting for a long time.

And when he saw Li Feng, Paul Jacobs was also very enthusiastic, "Leo, although this is the first time we meet you, I have been famous for you for a long time, and I am very famous with you, Zhang Jing, who is very sharp. He is also a good friend, why didn't he come over today?"

Zhang Jing is the person in charge of the "Fuxi Project (chip)" of Fengrui X Lab. Because he needs to deal with some chip companies frequently, he also met Paul Jacobs of Qualcomm. It's just these visits, Li Feng did not choose to let him Come, just let Long Xiaotian follow.

And Li Feng also said with a smile: "Paul, me too (me too), has been known to you for a long time, and I am also very optimistic about the future development of Qualcomm. This is the purpose of my visit."

"Leo, thank you very much for your recognition of our Qualcomm, and you are so polite, you are very welcome, then please come in, I will show you around first." Paul Jacobs also said with a smile.

Then Paul Jacob also greeted Google's Larry Page and Long Xiaotian, and then led Li Feng and the other three around Qualcomm's interior.

Although Paul Jacob is very thin and gentle, and he also smiles when he speaks, the strength in his bones can still be seen. He never bows his head when he speaks, and he always walks ahead when he walks. Very fast, does not wait for anyone, always let others follow their own rhythm.

Li Feng couldn't keep up, but even so, this simple visit still left a very deep impression on Li Feng.

What impressed Li Feng most was the wall of Qualcomm. The wall, looking around, is no longer a wall, it can be called a "patent corridor".

And Paul Jacobs also pointed to the "Patent Wall" and said to Li Feng very proudly: "Leo, there are about 13 patents on it, all of which have been declared by Qualcomm since its establishment, and the annual authorization of these patents alone Fees can bring us tens of millions of dollars in revenue for Qualcomm."

Paul Jacobs can indeed be proud, because in a few years, the licensing fees for these patents will be able to earn hundreds of millions of dollars, and billions of dollars in revenue, and Qualcomm has also set up a "technology licensing department", which is Qualcomm's dedicated Operate these patents of Qualcomm.

Seeing this, Li Feng has to admit that Qualcomm is awesome: Although Qualcomm has already been called a "patent hooligan" in the industry at this time, it is different from these real "rogues" in China.
As a technology giant, Qualcomm has indeed invested heavily in technology. More than 80% of its internal employees are technical engineers, and R&D expenditure accounts for more than 20% of total revenue all year round, and can exceed 30% at most.

Just like the saying we often say, "Hooligans are not scary, but they are cultured", and Qualcomm's "hooligans" dare to directly face companies, while some domestic Internet companies in the previous life, such as 360, BAT and other real "Hooligans" are just doing their best to vulnerable groups like netizens.

This "patent wall" of Qualcomm also makes Li Feng envious. Even Fengrui has a lot of patents now, but it can't build such a spectacular "patent wall"!

It is not difficult to see that this "patent wall" is one of the manifestations of a company's external technological competitiveness. When dense patent information is placed on the negotiating table, it will also be a big blow to the negotiating opponent's psychology.

Therefore, Li Feng also sincerely said to Paul Jacob: "Mr. Jacob, Qualcomm's investment and innovation in technology research and development are indeed worth learning from Fengrui. This meeting gave me more confidence."

"Where is it, Leo, you are really flattered. Your method of directly dismantling the R&D institution into a laboratory is also very optimistic in Silicon Valley." Paul Jacobs also said modestly.

Unexpectedly, "Fengrui X Laboratory" has been spread to the United States. It seems that Fengrui is also famous in the world.

But Li Feng still said firmly, but this time Li Feng didn't tell Paul Jacob, but told Long Xiaotian: "Xiaotian, write it down for me, I'm afraid I'll forget it.

Fengrui may not have a corporate development history museum, but it cannot do without technological innovation. In the future, we will definitely build such a spectacular patent wall, no, a patent corridor even more spectacular than Qualcomm! "
