I Found A Planet

To be honest, Chen Jin still has a good impression of Qualcomm.

Although this is an out-and-out hooligan.

But compared with the super gangster of fruit, Qualcomm is like a philanthropist with a conscience.

Fruit companies are well known for their unscrupulous pursuit of profits. On the one hand, fruit phones are getting more and more expensive, and the selling price exceeds three times the hardware cost, taking away more than 80% of the hardware profits of the entire mobile phone industry.

Even so, the fruit company is still not satisfied. Taking advantage of the closed nature of the ios system, it has played a trick of plucking wild goose. All apps that recharge and consume in the ios system will be charged 30%, and only a few apps can be exempted.

Also known as the "fruit tax".

Through multiple means, the fruit company has become the most profitable technology company in the world, with a market value exceeding $1 trillion.

But even so, the fruit company found out that after adopting Qualcomm's baseband, it actually had to pay Qualcomm a patent licensing fee of tens of billions of dollars every year. So much money was given to Qualcomm, and it was poached by itself. A big piece of meat?

According to the 5% commission principle, the more expensive the fruit phone is, the more Qualcomm will take away.

How can this be tolerated?

Unwilling to give up any fruit of profit, he immediately got rid of Qualcomm, supported Intel, chose to use Intel's communication baseband, and completely bid farewell to Qualcomm.

The problem is that Intel has only been engaged in communication technology for a few years, and many patented technologies cannot get around Qualcomm's patent barriers at all, but the fruit company doesn't care, let Intel directly infringe, risking a patent lawsuit, and directly use Qualcomm's patents... for For profit, the fruit company is also fighting.

When the fruit company did this, Qualcomm, which had made a lot of money, saw its revenue plummet by 30% that year.

Qualcomm's eyes instantly turned red. Cutting off people's money is tantamount to killing their parents. They also concluded that the fruit had infringed their patents, and immediately initiated a patent lawsuit.

If you are not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous. The two sides are at loggerheads.

After fighting the company with red eyes for two years, after collecting enough evidence to prove that the fruit company did infringe, Qualcomm won a big victory. First, a court in a certain place in country Z ruled to prohibit the sale of fruit phones, and other countries and regions , also made a judgment in favor of Qualcomm.

The war between the two hooligans ended with Qualcomm winning.

After the sales ban came into effect, fruit phones disappeared from the country Z market for several months.

In the end, the fruit company had to give in, and paid a fine of tens of billions of dollars in one lump sum, and made a guarantee that it would no longer infringe the rights. Only then did the two parties reach an understanding.

The fruit companies paid the price for their greed.

Compared with the extremely fierce trade war a few years ago, Huayao's 5G was chased and intercepted by Emperor M. At that time, there were countless voices calling for a boycott of fruit on the Internet, and countless articles exposing fruit hooligans, but none of them could satisfy the diehard fruit fans. A company from country M helped to boycott the fruit phone that they gave up buying.

What kind of spirit is this?

So on the country Z network, the title of "Yi Mie Fruit" was given to Qualcomm by the majority of netizens.

Benevolence, it's too benevolent, give Qualcomm a thumbs up.

Last year, Qualcomm moved its headquarters to country Z, which reduced the patent licensing fees in the country Z market, and won the favor of the majority of netizens, giving the company the title of "Conscience of Emperor Z".

However, Chen Jin knew that Qualcomm was still a hooligan in his heart, but after doing a few good things, in his eyes, Qualcomm was a relatively good "rogue".

He welcomes Qualcomm's unsolicited cooperation application.

Because in the field of communication technology, Xinghai Technology does not have much accumulation, and is very dependent on Huayao Company.

Looking at it now, this kind of dependence is not a big problem, but in the long run, it is a bit constrained by others... The application range of communication technology is too wide, and it will always be useful, and the annual market is more than one trillion yuan.

It's not that Xinghai Technology wants to enter this field, and it's even more unrealistic to start research and development from scratch. Xinghai Technology just wants to avoid being restricted and being slaughtered in the future.

Ling Jundong suggested:

"Mr. Chen, why don't we acquire Qualcomm, get the free right to use the company's tens of thousands of communication patents, and then cooperate with Qualcomm to develop more advanced 6G communication or other new communication technologies to make up for this shortcoming. Of course , Huayao is our partner, we will not give up our cooperation with Huayao, but what about ten or twenty years later? If Huayao is the only one at that time, will they continue to give me preferential treatment? "

Was it possible for Hua Yao at that time to become a new gangster?

In short, the future is hard to say.

"Acquire Qualcomm?"

Chen Jin nodded: "That's a good idea." With tens of thousands of communication technology patents, he had to admit that he was a little greedy, and wanted to taste what it was like to be a patent troll.

In fact, there is no need to think about it. Xinghai Technology is already on the road to becoming a patent hooligan. For example, Xinghai Technology’s recent breakthrough in graphene technology did not build various factories to produce various graphene products, but recruited partners. Authorize a large amount of graphene technology and get 50% of the net profit... At present, more than 30 cooperative manufacturers have been recruited. It is expected that various graphene products will spring up like mushrooms soon.

But with Qualcomm's current market value of 60 billion dollars, which is about 380 billion soft sister coins, can Xinghai Technology get so much money?

"Money is not a problem. As long as Qualcomm agrees to the acquisition request, even if the premium reaches 500 billion, I can find a way to get it together." Ling Jundong said surprisingly.

Chen Jin was taken aback, 500 billion, do you want to be so exaggerated?

Ling Jundong explained that in the field of capital operation, there is a concept of "leverage". Xinghai Technology does not need to really take out 500 billion, 100 billion is enough, and then raise 100 billion from the private sector, and find a bank loan of 300 billion for the rest... ...there's plenty of funding.

With the profitability of Xinghai Technology, swallowing a Qualcomm, there is not much pressure.

After listening to Ling Jundong's analysis, Chen Jin nodded and said: "Okay, you can try to buy it, within 500 billion, if you can take it down, take it down."

...

Qualcomm.

After receiving the acquisition request initiated by Xinghai Technology.

Qualcomm's top management didn't think much about it, so they refused. They were sitting on a golden mountain, and they could make a lot of money every year without working. Who would sell the golden mountain under their buttocks?

What's more, the government of country M will not approve it, and there is no possibility of acquisition.

However, Qualcomm's head office that moved to country Z is not under the jurisdiction of country M, and Xinghai Technology can take a stake.

The high-level executives of the two companies conducted negotiations that lasted for several days, and the two parties finally reached an agreement and signed a cooperation plan, mainly including the following:

First, Xinghai Technology invested 80 billion yuan, holds 40% of the shares of Qualcomm (Country Z), and enjoys the free right to use all communication patents of Qualcomm.

Second, Qualcomm's chip foundry orders are all completed by Zhongxin International.

Third, Xinghai Technology provides technical services such as "virtual factory" to speed up Qualcomm's R\u0026D speed and reduce R\u0026D costs.

Fourth, the two sides launched technical cooperation to jointly develop more advanced communication technologies.

After the cooperation is successfully concluded.

There is no doubt that this is a win-win cooperation.

As far as Chen Jin's Xinghai Technology is concerned, he only spent 80 billion to obtain the free use rights of tens of thousands of communication patents, saving a lot of time and massive research and development funds, and can share the profits.

For Qualcomm, the cooperation with Xinghai Technology injected a cash flow and also received the support of Xinghai Technology. Not to mention immediately catching up with the obvious leader Huayao, but it was at least on an equal footing and quickly recovered its disadvantages. It won't be defeated by Hua Yao.

Qualcomm President Christian Amon breathed a sigh of relief, walked back and forth, and said excitedly:

"We'll be out of the woods pretty quickly."

"Just Xinghai Technology's 5G baseband orders can bring us tens of billions of revenue every year! In addition, with the help of the 'virtual factory' technology, the speed at which we accumulate patents and the cost we save will soon be the same as Huayao's ( Huayao has purchased a supercomputer equipped with a virtual factory), we are finally on a fair track.”

...

November 20.

Xinghai Technology became a shareholder of Qualcomm, and the news of the strategic cooperation between the two parties immediately aroused huge repercussions as soon as it was announced.
