309. Hold the thickest thighs

When he was at work the next day, Cao Yang received a bad news.

Liu Zhiping told him that the sale of Bomi smartphones in the United States was ruined. For some reasons, the relevant review department failed to pass and rejected the request of Bomi smartphones to enter the American market.

"Damn!"

Cao Yang cursed.

His forehead was beating blue veins, so angry that he looked a little ferocious.

"Damn America."

Cao Yang gritted his teeth and calmed himself down a little.

If you think about it carefully, this is also an inevitable problem, because Bomi smartphones enter the US local market, which will definitely cause a fatal blow to the local mobile phone industry.

You should know that the United States is a capital country, and asset giants use money to control national departments and seek benefits for themselves.

Think about it, what a big impact will a new product that completely crushes all mobile phones on the market once it enters the US market?

Motorola, Philips, Lucent, and other mobile phone companies all need to go to heaven.

European-style Nokia, BlackBerry... These mobile phone giants probably don't want to see Bomi's smartphone appear in the US market.

Sure enough, while Cao Yang was in deep thought, Liu Zhiping reported the second piece of news—

"The review of Bomi smartphones in Europe has not been passed, which means that we can only sell them in countries other than Omi.

The good news is that according to market research, the local tyrants in the Middle East seem to be more welcome to Bomi smartphones, but it will take a long process to support multilinguals if they want to do a good job of localization."

"On the East Island, I don't trust Bomi's information security, so there are some troubles in the review, but this problem is not difficult to solve."

Liu Zhiping reported all the current sales application status of Bomi smartphones, and Cao Yang frowned deeper and deeper.

The situation is not optimistic.

But overall, it doesn't seem that bad.

At least in Chinese-speaking areas, such as Singapore, Malaysia... these places, Bangzi Country and the San next door are passed by.

The reason why the country of Bangzi passed is very simple-

Bomi mobile phone screen is produced by LG, and LG and Bomi jointly developed multi-touch technology on mobile phones.

As we all know, the four major consortiums in Bangzi State: Samsung Group, Hyundai Group, LG Group and SK Group jointly control the government. Therefore, since LG is involved in deep interests, it will definitely be able to pass in Bangzi State.

Bomi phones sell well can also take LG to a new level.

The Middle East needs to be localized, which means supporting Arabic characters. This problem is actually relatively easy.

However, the situation on Ah San's side is a bit strange, and low-priced phones may be more popular.

But now the cost of Bomi is here, so the price cannot be reduced at all.

Now we can only say that we can open up the market first by relying on the smartphone wave, and take advantage of the current crushing of high-end phones, so that the rich people of Ah San can buy one.

Bomi has already prepared the English version, and now he has lost the Ome market, so he can use A San to expand channels. A San’s official language is also English, which is more convenient to use.

...

"Oh~ Forget it, there is nothing we can do about it." Cao Yang sighed.

Now Bomi has the advantage of first-mover attacking. Smartphones completely crush all mobile phones on the market. Then, open the market first and get as much as you can.

"At least, from the perspective of market caps, the population of China and Ah San alone is enough."

The global population is 6.6 billion, with 1 billion mobile phone users, of which the Chinese market accounted for 350 million. The US population just exceeded 300 million in 2006, and the number of mobile phone users was about 150 million...

So even if the Omi market is lost, Bomi can have a great advantage. Even if all countries reject Bomi, the Chinese market alone is enough to make Bomi a lot of money.

However, Cao Yang has a relatively large ambition and does not only want to make money from Chinese people, but also from foreigners.

"Well..." Liu Zhiping opened his mouth and continued, "But we can try not to open a specialty store in the United States first, but to find an agent to represent our mobile phone products, which may be better."

"Okay," Cao Yang nodded, "You go and try it. If it really works, it doesn't matter if these agents make more money."

It takes costs to lay channels and open stores in these countries, and big data centers are also required to maintain data. Leaving them to agents is actually an option.

As long as these agents can help knock on the door of Omi market, Cao Yang will be confident that he will bring down Omi traditional mobile phone bosses.

But when you think about it with your toes, you will know that there must be many difficulties in it.

...

"By the way," before Liu Zhiping was about to leave Cao Yang's office, he suddenly remembered something, "In the United States, Apple called us, hoping to find time to talk about the issue of authorization cooperation."

"Huh?" Cao Yang raised his head and his eyes lit up.

Finally here?

Sure enough, it is correct to ambush one hand in advance.

I can't enter the US market, so don't even think about it. If I go, I will sue you with a patent.

"By the way, how many patents we applied for were approved in the United States?" Cao Yang asked.

"The more than 700 patents we have applied for seemingly have passed half of them," said Liu Zhiping.

That's right, if more than 700 patents are not enough, it would be too unreasonable.

However, among the more than 700 patents applied for by Bomi, only some are standard essential patents, including multi-touch patents and some design patents.

Patents are divided into three types: one is standard essential patent, one is standard non-essential patent, and another is non-standard patent. The first is a patent that is written into the standard, must be used, and cannot be circulated. The second and third are patents that can be ignored. Generally, you can find a way to circulated.

There is also a standard for standard essential patents, which is to comply with the FRAND principle, that is, fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory. It does not mean that you do not authorize it if you want to.

Otherwise, if everyone does not authorize each other, then technology will not need to be improved, because most standards are composed of some standard essential patents held by several parties.

It means standard essential patents. You must authorize them to those in need, and you must be fair, reasonable and without discrimination. Therefore, Huawei and other companies must authorize them to American operators to build 5G. There is no question of authorization or not, but just a question of how much money and how to authorize them.

If Apple asks Bomi for patent authorization, then Bomi will also have to authorize it to the other party. Similarly, it is just a matter of how much money and how to authorize it.

...

Thinking of this, Cao Yang smiled and said, "Don't rush to reply to them first. If you can, you can, you can delay it for a while. If they come to the door on their own initiative, we will find a way to negotiate authorization.

Make this process as long as possible.”

Although it can't be delayed for long, it's only a day to delay it, mainly to make Apple go later and give itself enough space and time to mediate.

However, there is also a possibility, that is, Apple will go online first and then apply for authorization, but it will only pay a certain patent fee.

In the communications industry, Apple has a bad reputation. Many small companies use their patents on mobile phones. However, these small companies spend too much on lawsuits with Apple and cannot afford such lawsuits, so Apple has always been called a "patent bully" in the communications industry.

However, Cao Yang is not afraid of lawsuits. Bomi has money and can fight.

Moreover, the situation is now on Bomi. If Apple's reputation is damaged due to the patent, and Apple's mobile phones cannot be launched, the impact on them will not be a joke.

"Okay, understand." Liu Zhiping smiled, "It seems that we are not the only company that makes smartphones. Apple also seems to have a smartphone to be launched, but it is a conflict with our patents, so it comes to ask for authorization."

"Yes." Cao Yang nodded.

That's right, the apple will be on the market next year, and now it's probably as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

...

When encountering problems, solve the problem.

No problem is the most troublesome. Now that the United States is stuck, it means that the United States in this life is still the same as the United States. Don’t have hope for the enemy’s survival.

In the afternoon, Cao Yang went directly to find Minister Li of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Minister Li was stunned when he saw Cao Yang.

"Come on, sit down."

Li Yizhong invited Cao Yang to sit down and poured him a cup of tea.

"Thank you Minister Li." Cao Yang sat down on the sofa with a teacup in his hand.

Li Yizhong returned to his position and looked at Cao Yang, "What's wrong? Depending on your situation, are you facing any problems?"

"I came to see Minister Li today and have three questions to say." Cao Yang said straight to the point.

"Yeah, you said."

"First, isn't Bomi smartphone going to be released? When mobile phones become popular, the number of users will inevitably increase significantly, and then a large amount of interactive data will be generated every second. The processing workload required for user data is very large..."

Cao Yang explained to Li Yizhong the operating model of big data, and their desire to form the Bomi Technology Research Center and work with major universities to do cloud computing research.

After hearing this, Minister Li slapped his thighs with excitement, "This is a good thing. Cloud computing... can allow us to better process big data. You are right. This is an imperative task."

Li Yizhong thought for a while and asked, "Tell me, what do you need me to do."

"I think so. I hope to find the top leaders and then cooperate with Guizhou leaders to build the big data center there because the natural environment there is better, which is conducive to large-scale server operations, and then I hope to get the support from the top."

"Yeah." Li Yizhong nodded, "This is certain, the leaders there must be very happy to cooperate with Bomi. You don't know that the southwest region of the motherland needs high-tech companies to settle in. When the conference was held, they were still asking about attracting investment. You don't have to worry about this matter, it will definitely be fine.

As long as Bomi thinks, Guizhou will definitely come to you to cooperate with you as soon as possible.”

"In addition, regarding big data security, I hope to attract the attention of senior management, because the data in this area is too important..."

Cao Yang spent more than ten minutes telling Li Yizhong about his views on data supervision and the data security issues that countries need to pay attention to in the future.
