Chapter 102 Fighting a Public Opinion War
Huaxin Technology has no branch in North America, and the graphics cards are also produced by major board manufacturers. Huaxin Technology is only responsible for providing chips and solutions. Gi is also very troublesome, whether to fatten up or slaughter it or start using the knife now.
Although I could get a huge compensation after I fattened up and slaughtered, Huaxin Technology had already dominated the market by then, and it was too late.
Now that I have not had a few pieces of meat, I know how much the amount of my video output auxiliary chip is. I know very well that if I want to exchange patents, I can't agree.
It is impossible to ask the court to make a judgment that it is not allowed to sell graphics cards.
Imagine a large machine with millions of parts, one of which infringes someone else's patent, and the court will only mediate.
This is not what Sgi wants to see, what should I do?
Robert Cabres, as SGI's think tank, came up with an eye-catching idea.
"Gentlemen, Huaxin Technology infringes on our patents, that's for sure. Sgi's patent library has hundreds of thousands of patents. Well, of course, some of them have expired, but there are still tens of thousands of them.
I don’t think Huaxin Technology will figure out which patent it infringes. We just need to disclose it in the media that Huaxin Technology infringes on a certain important patent of our SGI and does not explain anything else. I think the effect will definitely be different."
CEO Klein's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but pat on the table and said, "Huaxin Technology doesn't know what patent has infringed on us? Is it a core patent or a non-core patent? They can't even guess what we should do next.
I think they must have signed a huge contract with the card manufacturer, and they must be afraid of being rejected by the American market and facing huge claims from the manufacturer.
So once the news is released, Huaxin Technology will sit at the negotiating table obediently. Sgi may be able to exchange patents with Huaxin Technology at the lowest price!" All the management of gi company nodded in agreement.
The next day, Ms. Serena, the external contact director of sgi, interviewed with mainstream media from many parties.
In the afternoon of the same day, mainstream newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times published it. Huaxin Technology's graphics card chips infringed on the patents of the great American SGI company. This is a thief and shameless act of thieves.
Major newspapers and magazines around the world have reprinted them.
The "knowledgeable people" in Europe and the United States suddenly realized that no wonder this Asian company was able to release this cross-age product, which turned out to be a copy of the patent of the old graphics chip company Sgi!
This allowed some arrogant whites to find reasons to vent.
For a time, thieves and plagiarists were in the midst of the world, and criticisms of Huaxin Technology were piled up on newspapers and TV.
The melon-eating crowd in the world is a family, and the melon-eating crowd in Europe and the United States is no exception. They are not afraid of not making big things.
But these people don’t understand why Sgi does not resort to the law and prohibits the sales of graphics cards equipped with Huaxin Technology’s display chips.
However, in case of being banned, they still snatch the graphics cards on the world as quickly as possible.
It doesn’t matter to major board manufacturers. If you buy it, I will sell it. It’s not yourself who infringes on the rights. For a time, all graphics cards around the world are out of stock, which is also unexpected.
By the time this matter was put on Wang Anyan's desk, he had already arrived in Hefei.
This time, Wang Anran took the train and plane from Hong Kong Island to Hefei. If you can, you won’t take it. Anyway, you won’t be in a hurry.
The information was transferred from Yanjing, with feedback from major manufacturers, feedback from personnel who were stationed in Europe and the United States, and fax copies from major newspapers and magazines.
The feedback from the manufacturer is very simple. The market response of graphics cards is very good and sales are very popular. I am worried about being affected by the case. It also proposed to increase the supply of chips, hoping to reduce the supply price.
TSMC's production capacity is still OK. 500,000 chips account for only one or two points of its total production capacity. Another 500,000 is added. However, subsequent production must be ordered by the manufacturer one month in advance. Wang Anran does not want to produce blindly, which will cause product backlogs.
As for Sgi's patent dispute, I'm afraid Sgi himself didn't expect that Wang Anran didn't care about it at all.
He has seen many battles between it/ic companies. Even now, ibm, intelligence, ibm and Microsoft are still fighting. At that time, it will be just arguing in court, and it will be just a loss of money.
Because the core patent of the display chip has been registered, the patent of DDR video memory has also been registered in the United States.
With these two patents, Wang Anran is fearless. Besides, he has not yet resorted to the law and is afraid of personal football.
Besides, the object of the fight is SGI. A graphics chip company, no matter how fierce the jump is, it is difficult to bypass the patent wall arranged by Huaxin Technology. This is originally an asymmetry. On the 3D display, you have to call it dad.
However, media reports have given Wang Anran a headache. Huaxin Technology's reputation is now stunning in Europe and the United States, and it has become a rat that everyone calls for.
The "noble" white man was released by Huaxin Technology first, and it was obviously like he had been stolen from his beloved toy, and his fragile self-esteem was very hit.
Now I know that Huaxin Technology is awesome and steals it, which makes their self-esteem burst instantly. If they don’t step on it, how can they be worthy of their annoyance that they almost got fooled?
However, this does not prevent them from continuing to enjoy the big meal provided by Huaxin Technology.
Enjoy and verbally.
The people who eat melons all over the world are one family.
However, the domestic media completely silenced, which made Wang Anran quite delicious. Logically speaking, we have to support it. Huaxin Technology was still what you mentioned as national pride a few days ago!
On the campus of Tsinghua University, the school originally arranged a welcome ceremony, but it was also cancelled.
After all, even Lu Wei and Mr. Su were nervous about whether Huaxin Technology infringed on whether it was infringing on the rights.
In the 1994 country, facing the gap between China and foreign countries, lacks confidence.
This made Wang Anran decide to fight a public opinion war.
"Sgi, come and do it if you don't accept it!"
At the first time, Wang Anran, the representative of the New York Times to China, gave an exclusive interview, and this time he planned to take action himself.
The New York Times is naturally very interested in this battle between Huaxin Technology and SGI, which is the focus of the world.
An unknown Chinese company has always been the most backward in the team. Suddenly, it ran all the way like taking aphrodisiacs and became the leader of the team, which naturally attracted the attention of all parties.
The two families hit it off, but because of Wang Anran's itinerary, they originally planned to make an appointment in Yanjing three days later.
But Flodo refused. For journalists, time is life, and there are too many changes in three days.
"Hello, Miss Zhang, can I make an appointment in Hefei? Tomorrow, please check out Mr. Wang's itinerary, I'll be convenient here."
When Wang Anran met such a dedicated media person, he naturally would not refuse and nodded.
Chapter completed!
