Chapter 509: Google is easily controlled

"Let the company give up its plan to launch its own mobile operating system? Otherwise, Google will join forces with Apple and Samsung to impose additional patent fees on the company's smartphones sold overseas?"

Li Zehua frowned and listened patiently to Zhang Tao's report. He turned around and called Guo Xinyi to inquire about the details. After hearing the other party's feedback, he couldn't help but ask: "Did they forget?

The companies also hold software patents that they cannot circumvent. Unless Apple and Google lose their minds, no one will have an easy time if the dispute continues.

Especially in China and Southeast Asia, two heavyweight markets, the QR code scanning business promotion is booming. Do they want to break the contract? Why did Samsung come here to join in the fun? "

Guo Xinyi said: “The specific situation still needs to be negotiated, but I see that they are coming with great momentum and don’t seem to be willing to compromise. It looks like the company is preparing to launch a mobile phone operating system.

This touched their sore spot, and the vice president of Google China personally led a team to ask the company to give a reasonable explanation.

As for Samsung, it is most likely because of its semiconductor display business. Samsung has the most advanced display screen technology in the world today, and its latest flexible screen production line has just been put into production.

You are in urgent need of external orders to recover your investment costs. You have contacted us several times before. We can use BOE technology according to your requirements even if it means making a loss.

Especially through Softbank SAIF, they contacted several companies including Sharp, Toshiba, Sony, etc., in an attempt to circumvent the patent blockade of Samsung and LG. I suspect that the news was leaked by the companies over there.

Otherwise, Samsung would not know so much, they just want to take advantage of the opportunity to raise the price..."

Semiconductor display technology and equipment manufacturing are basically monopolized by Japanese and Korean companies. With the support of Japanese and Korean capital, South Korea has gradually surpassed China and developed the world's mainstream technical standards in the industry.

Naturally, Jiaobenji was unwilling to be controlled by others, and did not want its huge investment to go to waste, so it turned its attention to the Dongda market. Contacting and cooperating with Qingyun was one of the alternative options.

But Qingyun was not a sucker. During the many consultations and negotiations, he seized the other party's eagerness to recover its costs and refused to give in, except for the Dongda market.

There is no possibility that a second company will take over!
Through capital exports and globalized trade, Europe and the United States can obtain the latest development results from Japan and South Korea at any time without control, and they do not care about the backward production capacity technology of the 90s at all.

Other countries do not have this hard power.

Qingyun doesn't mind, even if it lags behind the mainstream technology for more than ten years. Now it is about solving the problem of whether or not. As long as it can get started smoothly, why should it be worried about not being able to catch up in the future?

It is no exaggeration to say that apart from state-owned assets and Qingyun, no other domestic company has the strength to take over, so there is no need to worry about anyone coming in to raise the price.

When he came into contact with Softbank and SAIF, Li Zehua made up his mind to slowly grind until Samsung and LG gradually defeated Sharp and other companies, and then wait until ASML defeated Toshiba.

He doesn't believe that the chicken-in-a-basin companies can still sit still, so they take out the outdated technology in their inventory and exchange it for fragrant US dollars. Isn't that nice?
Don't say it's impossible. Historically, Toshiba sold even the most advanced industrial hens to Damao for money. There is no reason why it cannot sell outdated technology that is two generations behind the mainstream.

It's just a matter of price.

The United States and the University of the East are in the final honeymoon period. With the help of traditional capital such as Bank of America, it should not be difficult to obtain approval from the U.S. Department of Commerce.

As for Ou Meng, it is easier to deal with, because Qingyun is providing financial support to Nokia through various channels. As long as the patents can be used, he will apply for authorization. He would rather spend money in vain to help Nokia.

As long as the latter can stabilize its revenue and avoid suffering too much loss, thereby maintaining its mobile phone business and Symbian system, Apple, Qualcomm and Google will have no chance of quickly unifying the standards of the mobile Internet market.

While Qingyun is working hard, its competitors are also not idle. The two sides have both cooperation and competition. Samsung has always known Qingyun's ambitions and has tried several times to win over major American companies to jointly ban it.

However, Google and Apple earn hundreds of millions of dollars in patent fees from QingCloud every year, and QingCloud Electronics is Qualcomm's largest business partner in the world. For the sake of their own interests, it is difficult for them to coordinate and unify their positions.

However, with Qingyun's ambitious plan to implement the domestic alternative industrial chain, the Yangtze River Storage is being prepared for construction, and chips are being customized by SMIC, as well as semiconductor displays.

They would rather use BOE display screens with worse performance and higher prices, and even completely abandon ATL New Energy for batteries, using only their own products. The cameras, audio systems, and headphones are all supplied from Europe.

Now that even mobile phone operating systems have emerged, major American companies can no longer sit still and have sent people to the Magic City to investigate the specific situation and prepare to join forces to put pressure on Qingyun.

Force them to give up unrealistic ideas.

Guo Xinyi couldn't come up with a solution for the time being, because the current situation of Qingyun Electronics being manufactured by many countries could not be changed in a short period of time.

"Don't worry too much, we can talk it out slowly. The market is so big that American capital cannot take it all in one go for now. As long as the benefits of cooperation between the two sides outweigh the differences, it will be difficult for them to make up their minds to deal with the company."

Li Zehua went over all the information in his mind and instantly gained confidence, "Don't worry about Sanxing for now. If it goes too far, we will go to Yanjing to teach it a lesson.

In other words, the agricultural service company's business has not been developed. Otherwise, they would just cut off the supply to the Koreans so that they can't afford kimchi, fruits and seafood, and then they would know they are wrong.

The breakthrough point in the negotiations lies in Qualcomm and Google. As long as we grasp this core point, there will be no big problem. "

"Boss, I can understand Qualcomm. After all, all the mobile phone chips of the three brands are supplied by Qualcomm. SMIC is also discussing foundry cooperation. I believe that we will be able to win the contract for mid- and low-end products soon.

This alone will bring Qualcomm hundreds of millions of additional net profits each year in the future. Even if half of Roewe switches to domestic chips, it will not prevent the group from continuing to be Qualcomm's largest customer in the world."

Guo Xinyi was not given the position for nothing. He was elected by majority vote of the board of directors and the decision-making committee. If he didn't have some ability, there would be no way for Li Zehua to force him into the position even if he insisted on his own way.

He analyzed carefully, "But how can Google be bought? Once Hongmeng is released, it will directly squeeze out the market share that originally belonged to Android. Strictly speaking, Apple is the one that is more likely to be broken through.

It is impossible for iOS to be licensed to a second company, so in theory, the threat posed by Hongmeng to Apple is almost zero.”

"Haha, then why don't you think about where all the provocative articles and derogatory jokes about Panda phones come from on the Internet?"

Li Zehua pointed out the problem incisively, "Does Meizu know that its sales volume is not even a fraction of Panda's? Apple has repeatedly sued it and is determined to defeat it.

The user base of the high-end smartphone market is limited. If one more person uses Panda, Apple will sell one less phone, so Apple and Qingyun are destined to be competitors.

The essence of Apple's App Store is to collect commissions from value-added services, and it does not overlap much with the group's software business. You can't expect to pay Apple a 30% commission for micropayments, ordering takeout or getting express delivery, right?
If you look at the current situation, you will find that any competitor that may pose a threat to Apple's dominance in the high-end market has been sued by Apple for patents. Even Samsung cannot escape, let alone us."

At this point, Li Zehua couldn't help but feel a headache. It would be difficult to make Apple compromise just by scanning a QR code and other software and appearance application patents.

The main reason is that Qingyun does not have the technical background of Samsung, and Li Zehua cannot offer enough chips in exchange for full support from American capital, but Google is different.

“…Don’t forget that Google has a huge amount of traffic resources that can be monetized at any time. Qingyun’s overseas businesses cannot be separated from Google advertising support.

Even Baidu was able to get a 40 billion RMB promotion contract from the company. Thinking from another perspective, the company can also use advertising revenue in exchange for Google's temporary compromise.

At least until Google defeats Sony, Nokia, Motorola, BlackBerry, Microsoft and other competitors, the company will not become a thorn in the side of Google's Android system."

Guo Xinyi had thought about expanding the scale of cooperation with Google, but he never thought it would be so big. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "I previously followed the business scale that Mr. Zhou and Mr. Wei had achieved.

In addition to Qingyun Electronics' demands, Google proposed a package promotion contract worth US$3.5 million for the whole year, but Google was not interested at all and insisted on giving a reasonable explanation.

How much would it cost to make them give in?"

"3.5 million is too much of a disrespect for Google. I can't add a zero for now, but I can easily double it."

Li Zehua smiled confidently, "I have already discussed with my friends in Southeast Asia that we will increase the push of advertising on the Internet starting from March.

Just with the initial plans for micropayments, the advertising budget for Southeast Asia alone is as high as 30 million US dollars per month, with Microsoft and Google being the two largest advertising service providers.

This money must be spent, even if it is just to block negative information about the micro-wallet project on the Internet. It can be regarded as spending money to avoid disaster.

It is always better to make good connections in advance than to wait and see when a large-scale public opinion crisis occurs.

In addition, Mr. Zhou Shouyuan proposed a huge plan to compete with Uber in Europe and the United States. The core element is just one factor: spending money! Whether it is business channels or advertising, they must compete tit-for-tat. Next, the scale of cooperation with Google will be further expanded.

I am not afraid of spending a lot of money, I am just afraid that my money will be ineffective. To put it in a positive way, I can defeat Uber and become the largest food delivery, express delivery, and online ride-hailing platform in the West, which is a huge profit.

To put it in a bad light, even if it means wasting billions of dollars, it can slow down Uber's expansion and buy time for the development of its domestic business.

On the other hand, we will not suffer losses either, because the Southeast Asian branch business has absorbed a large amount of funds through micropayment Internet financial business.

According to the agreement, we will cooperate with a number of friendly companies to acquire their non-performing assets, and the company will have control over the funds raised through micropayments.

At that time, while the American branch is spending money like crazy and raising its valuation, we can arrange for the investment fund under Southeast Asia Micropayment to take over.

We can also take this opportunity to attract more local American venture capitalists to join the market and provide support.

Look, what a perfect business closed loop!

Southeast Asian micropayments raise funds through reasonable and legal means, and spend money frantically in Europe and the United States to raise the valuations of various Internet, financial, and high-tech companies.

In the process of creating bubbles, a large amount of European and American capital can be attracted to enter the market to make profits, complete the exchange of interests, and buy time for development for the group.

Anyway, the money comes from the wind, so it would be a waste if you don't spend it. It would be best if it can be listed smoothly. When international hot money flows out of Dongda on a large scale in 14/15, you can take the opportunity to create momentum and trick them into taking over.

It doesn’t matter if we can’t go public. We don’t need to make a small profit. During the expansion of the Southeast Asian bubble market, we can transfer losses through capital operations without anyone noticing.”

After hearing this, Guo Xinyi was completely convinced, "Boss, I think it's unlucky for ordinary investors to meet you.

Google certainly cannot refuse an advertising contract that increases several times. According to your strategy, the revenue will exceed one billion US dollars this year. Next year and the year after, it will be no problem to double it again, given the huge immediate benefits.

Google may have to cultivate its biggest competitor.”

"Same here, what's more, the method of the gentry returning all the money and the common people splitting the profits 30-70 is really useful outside, with no risk and a quick way to accumulate wealth. No wonder people all over the world are learning from it."

Li Zehua sighed, "With Google joining us, and local radio stations and newspapers under our control, not even a trace of negative information about micropayments can be spread. This money is well spent!"

I wouldn't mind spending twice as much!

Okay, you can talk about it according to the strategy of defeating each one separately. Be careful with Apple. I am worried that it will use tricks. They are best at using this trick. "

"No matter how difficult the situation is, you can always come up with a perfect solution. Your methods put me to shame. I really hope I can learn more from you."

Guo Xinyi did not forget to praise Li Zehua at the end, and hung up the phone contentedly amid Li Zehua's laughter and scolding.

Gu Shijie, who witnessed the whole process, couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Boss, your ability to deceive people has greatly improved recently!"

"What do you mean by deceiving? It's obvious that he has an extraordinary ability to control the situation."

Li Zehua glared at him angrily and said, "You should leave as soon as possible. Go back and get rid of the investor's little thoughts. Don't think about things that shouldn't happen every day."

"I will convey your instructions to them, but it is better to guide them than to block them. We have to find something for them to do to divert their attention."

Gu Shijie scratched his head and said, "How about taking out the dividend rights of Qingyun Real Estate and setting up a separate industrial fund?
The real estate business exists independently, and the current rise in housing prices alone is enough to make everyone shut up.

Moreover, as you said before, wouldn’t it be better to buy up the high-quality assets in the core areas of large and medium-sized cities in advance before the international hot money pours in, and then wait to reap the benefits?

You can also get a huge amount of financing funds, which means an annual financial management income of about 8-10%, which is not much higher than the bank loan interest rate during the same period. "

"Let me take a look."

Li Zehua was somewhat reluctant to leave, mainly because Qingyun Real Estate had accumulated hundreds of thousands of high-quality properties, including the recently launched Yida Commercial Real Estate (cooperative development).

All the properties in large and medium-sized cities that Yongchuang had accumulated were acquired by Qingyun Real Estate. Not only that, the real estate company also expanded its presence everywhere.

People are searching all over the world for unsold properties in large and medium-sized cities. Ordinary people buy houses one by one, while professional speculators, such as the Vancouver real estate speculation group, buy entire buildings at most.

Qingyun Real Estate is quite exaggerated. After making money in the gold futures market and having sufficient financial support, it has started to buy the entire community together with the shops along the street.

Even the property management is not spared, which is simply insane. To the extent that when companies in the industry see Qingyun Real Estate appear, they can't wait to open champagne and set off fireworks to celebrate.

Only Li Zehua knew that what he bought was not a house, but a bottom-line guarantee for the next five or six years. He was a little unwilling to give it up now in exchange for investors' compromise.

But on second thought, it’s nothing more than selling a dividend right, and there’s no need to give it all out. These investors can’t eat up the huge cake of hundreds of thousands of high-quality houses, so they said, “You discuss it with Yao Xiang and Sun Hongbin.

Let's see how much share is appropriate to inject into the industrial fund. My opinion is that high-quality shops and properties in core areas must not be given up.

Even if we hold on to these resources for another thirty or fifty years, they are the company’s most valuable resources and must not be given to outsiders.”

Gu Shijie understood immediately, "My idea is to select properties with limited appreciation in non-core areas according to the current future plans of major cities, package them and inject them into industrial funds in exchange for investors' compromise.

In order to make better use of resources, two or three funds are set up, with investors who have sufficient status and wealth, or who have control of the resources the group needs.

We will arrange for them to buy funds that control housing resources in first-tier cities. For investors with lower quality, we will arrange for them to buy funds that control housing resources in second- and third-tier cities.

Even those people at the provincial level who need to be specially wooed and treated can be secretly sent..."

"You just have to figure it out."

Li Zehua didn't care about the details. Even if they were the most expensive villas in the core area of ​​Shanghai, he didn't know how many of them he owned. As long as he could get enough resources in return by giving them away, it would reduce the trouble.

As long as it helps the group develop smoothly and the gifts are valuable, that’s enough.

“Oh, by the way, in this negotiation with HSBC, if you can get a 2-3% dividend right from the Southeast Asian branch of Micropay, remember, it’s a dividend right, not a stock.

If the deal is done, the company will reward you with a large duplex in the core area of ​​Shanghai, or a villa, so you don't have to envy Mr. Lin Wenhui all the time.

Well, the same arrangement has been made for Guo Xinyi as well. As long as you can get things done, create great value for the company and solve major problems, you can get as much house, car and money as you want.

Even if you have too many houses to live in in the future, you can just leave them idle.”

Gu Shijie smiled so much that his mouth blossomed. He was extremely envious of the mansion worth twenty or thirty million that Lin Wenhui got as a reward from the company. Now he had the chance to buy one for free from his girlfriend, and he was happy even in his dreams.

"Then I won't refuse. It's just HSBC. It's easy to get it."

"It's better to be honest. I'm waiting for you to take the mansion away from the company."

Li Zehua had long wanted to find an opportunity to buy one for each of the company's senior executives. The villas awarded previously only provided the right of living but not the property rights. It would not work to give them away rashly. Who would cherish something that was given away for free?

But not giving it is not an option, because the company has too many resources, so many that every person who handles it feels terrified. Who can guarantee that no one will take risks? (End of this chapter)
