Rebirth of the internet boss

Chapter 484 Why not buy it?
Li Feng really cares about Qualcomm very much. As long as Qualcomm can be brought into the Android Alliance, the mission of Li Feng's trip to the United States will be basically completed.
What's more, Li Feng also obtained Qualcomm's communication patent at one time. Just solving this one, let alone the Android system, or the possible Fengrui mobile phone in the future, Li Feng can be advanced and worry-free.

So when Paul Jacobs, CEO of Qualcomm, made a joke, Li Feng directly "pretended to be deaf and dumb" and took it seriously.
Although Paul Jacobs finally mentioned 3 conditions, as long as the conditions are not too excessive, let alone 3 conditions, it doesn't matter if there are 30 conditions!
Regardless of the low market value of Qualcomm in its previous life, it has real core patents. In the future, it will be able to sanction the super overlord of the global smartphone industry chain. It is estimated that Qualcomm itself does not know how powerful it is in the future. This is simply "unexpected The high-speed rail is going to pass through my house today."

Some people may ask, since Qualcomm's market value is not high, why didn't Apple directly acquire Qualcomm?

In terms of market value, the current market value of Apple is nearly one trillion U.S. dollars, while Qualcomm’s market value has just exceeded 10 billion U.S. dollars. If we look at it according to this logic, Apple can buy [-] Qualcomm,
Moreover, Apple’s cash reserves of more than 2000 billion US dollars are enough to acquire Qualcomm. Both of them are American companies. If Apple can acquire Qualcomm, it will not only be able to launch 5G mobile phones smoothly in advance, but also limit the development of other mobile phones. , So why doesn't Apple buy Qualcomm?
But the problem is that this will not work, Qualcomm is the leader in the field of communications, but what about Apple?In recent years, I mainly rely on selling hardware to make a living, that is, the iPhone, but the core of the smartphone is the chip, and Qualcomm is the leader in this field. Before Apple used Intel chips, the result was that the iPhone The signal of the iPhone has deteriorated, which in turn led to a slump in iPhone sales, and eventually affected the market value of Apple!
In fact, there are many reasons. Even if you can afford it, Qualcomm will not sell it.

First of all, the current relationship between Apple and Qualcomm is not good. The top executives of the two companies are currently at odds. If Apple wants to acquire Qualcomm, it is likely to be rejected.

Furthermore, Apple wants to acquire Qualcomm. In fact, it is not only that Qualcomm agrees to the successful acquisition, but also Qualcomm's customers. At present, Qualcomm has so many customers, and these customers are Apple's opponents. It is impossible for them to let Apple Acquired Qualcomm.

After all, after Apple acquires Qualcomm, it is possible to achieve a monopoly, so in order to prevent this from happening, many people will stand up to prevent Apple from acquiring Qualcomm, no matter how rich Apple is.

In addition, the cost of the acquisition is very high. If Apple does not succeed in the acquisition, Apple will pay Qualcomm a large breakup fee, and this fee will be unconditionally given to Qualcomm. , Apple will lose money, so although Apple wants to buy Qualcomm, they dare not.

I think that Qualcomm tried to acquire NXP some time ago, but it failed in the end and paid 20 billion in compensation because China did not agree. Of course, if Apple acquires Qualcomm, do you think other mobile phone brands can continue to survive? go down!

So Apple won't buy Qualcomm, and Qualcomm won't sell it, just like Intel and Microsoft won't merge, otherwise, let's all go to sleep!
Of course, the current Qualcomm cannot be acquired by Fengrui, not to mention that Fengrui does not have so much money, even if Fengrui has money, it is not possible. Such a cross-border acquisition needs to be approved by the US government.

Similarly, Li Feng never thought of acquiring Qualcomm. Isn’t the most powerful thing about Qualcomm is its communication patent standards? It's self-defeating.

So now we are back to the original topic. The key is to obtain Qualcomm's communication patent authorization, so that Fengrui can "fix everything".

And Paul Jacobs was also very open about the third condition, "The third condition is very simple, that is, Fengrui's Android system must support Qualcomm's CDMA standard."

"Paul, there's no problem with that. Since I hold Qualcomm's communication patent, I must support Qualcomm's CDMA standard. This is a matter of course."

Li Feng readily agreed, and then continued to ask: "We Fengrui agree to all three conditions, so we can sign the patent licensing agreement now."

"Wait, Leo, I haven't finished. What I mean is that Fengrui's Android system only supports Qualcomm's CDMA standard, not other communication standards, such as Intel's WiMAX communication standard..." Paul Jacob Said again.

Although Qualcomm can be regarded as a world giant, it is not the "super dad" who "orders the world and is invincible" after all. There are still many powerful forces around him.

In particular, Intel is trying to gain a position in the mobile network with the WiMAX network standard, and it has been accepted by the International Telecommunication Union as the fourth 3G standard in the world, and has been allocated to global frequencies, directly posing a direct threat to Qualcomm.

Moreover, Qualcomm is also holding a lawsuit with Nokia, the "big brother" in the mobile phone industry, and life is not so easy.

Paul Jacob's proposal is nothing more than trying to gain more benefits for himself. Regardless of whether the Android system is successful or not, at least it cannot make other communication standards better.

People who don't know the future will definitely hesitate, but for Li Feng, this is simply a "given point question" and there is no need to choose. "Lie wins" the whole world.

But now no one knows, if you can take advantage of this time to win more benefits, you need to win more, so Li Feng said very embarrassedly: "Paul, there are no problems with other conditions, but you can use this exclusive condition." It's a bit of a strong word, isn't it?
This is not about a mobile phone, but about our entire Android Alliance mobile phone in the future. If other mobile phone manufacturers are unwilling to cooperate with us because of this, then what if we have Qualcomm’s communication patents? Can you change the condition again? "

Paul Jacob also wants to be a bit strong, but if he can fight for it, he still has to fight for it. After all, even Google supports Fengrui, so he has to let Li Feng agree to this condition. The standard is "self-defeating".

"Leo, as long as you agree to this condition, Qualcomm can make some concessions on other conditions, or do you have any other requirements?" Paul Jacob said.

"Well, let me think about it again..." Since you want to act, you have to play a full set. Otherwise, like a football player who just flopped and lay down, and then the referee awarded a penalty, and then stood up again, how could he become a movie king? Woolen cloth!

Li Feng also pretended to think for a while, and quickly put forward his request, "Our Android system can only support Qualcomm's CDMA communication standard, but Qualcomm's future 3G/4G research and development patents must also be authorized to us."
