Chapter 572 What do you want?
Xiao Qi always felt that Tim would be an excellent executor, but he was not a very good leader.
Because he neither has the cunningness of classmate Bill, nor the domineering attitude of Gang Leader Qiao, but he only has meticulous thinking and an extremely flexible work attitude.
However, if Gang Leader Qiao only chooses a successor to inherit his will, Tim is also a suitable candidate.
Perhaps this is also an important reason why Tim became CEO of Apple in 2012.
Bringing the topic back.
While Tim felt sad and disappointed, Jobs became increasingly calm.
He was thinking about Xiao Qi's intentions.
There is no doubt that the patents held by Xiao Qi are enough to drive the iPhone into hell.
If Xiao Qi wanted to fight him to the death, he should have announced the patents he owned as soon as he received the ITC investigation yesterday, and then have a head-on confrontation with Apple.
But Xiao Qi didn't do this, and instead came to the door. What was the purpose of this?
When Jobs looked at Xiao Qi, he was just tasting the matcha slowly, without any intention of speaking.
"Mr. Xiao..." Jobs finally decided to speak, "Although I don't know how much you spent to buy these patented ideas, I have to say that you are very lucky to have found such a thing in our Apple engineering team.
scum!"
"In April, all of the patents in my hands have entered the substantive testing stage?" Xiao Qi asked, "Of the 84 patents, not to mention tablet computers, but also in terms of smartphones, how many of them have surpassed
What’s your thinking?”
Some of Xiao Qi's patents can certainly surpass Apple's.
Because many of them are patents proposed by Samsung, HTC, Nokia or Motorola in the past few years. These patents are very excellent and are absolutely useful for the development of smartphones.
Tim trembled violently and shook his head secretly.
In Apple, apart from Gang Leader Qiao, he is the first person in charge of the overall situation. Of course, he can clearly distinguish how many of the patents here were owned by Apple before April and how many were determined by others beforehand.
of.
But Jobs was very stubborn, "I still say the same thing, China cannot have such high-tech technology!"
Xiao Qi laughed angrily. "Well, since you said that, then we have nothing to talk about. Today you just wait for ITC's 337 investigation of your products! I can guarantee that you will never even have a smartphone."
There’s no way to sell it!”
"Wait a minute!"
Seeing Xiao Qi getting up to leave, Tim finally couldn't help it and quickly called Xiao Qi to stop.
"Chairman!" Tim looked at Jobs pitifully.
Steve Jobs, who had a livid face, did not expect Xiao Qi to be so straightforward. He was filled with anger and began to feel a little afraid.
If it were really the ITC that was investigating Apple, it would be impossible for the iPhone to even be released, let alone be launched.
On the one hand, he worked hard and wanted to prove his precious crystallization to the world; on the other hand, Dreampad stole the opportunity from him. Jobs knew it was time to make a decision.
"What do you want?" Jobs asked slowly with a hoarse voice.
Xiao Qi talked eloquently: "It's very simple. First, drop ITC's lawsuit and announce an understanding with Fairy Company; second, let's discuss the patent infringement in detail and calculate according to the respective estimated values. In the end, less
The party that pays patent royalties to the party with more patents can also form patent interoperability; thirdly, Apple and Fairy Company can form a strategic alliance on smart mobile terminals and jointly construct patent barriers, thereby creating a greater degree of
Take market share."
The first two points were nothing, but when Tim heard the third point, his eyes lit up.
If Fairy Company really cooperates with Apple to establish patent barriers, then in the future, it will definitely be invincible in the field of smart terminal electronic products!
And now Apple is making smartphones, while Fairy is making smart tablets. In the market segments, there is no conflict at all between the two, but they are complementary!
Even if Apple wants to make smart tablets and Fairy wants to make smart phones in the future, they can make good use of their good cooperative relationships to further expand the market together and earn more profits - I want to be alone
The behavior of monopolizing the market is not only stupid, but also ignorant. Only by knowing how to share and cooperate, and uniting more and more powerful people, can we further dominate the market!
Whatever Tim could think of, Steve Jobs could certainly think of.
There is no doubt that his heart is moved now, also because of the third item.
According to Jobs's character, Apple rarely cooperates with other companies, but this does not mean that he is unwilling to cooperate with other companies. It is just that looking around the world, there are few companies that can make Boss Qiao take a fancy to.
Putting aside Fairy Company’s patent infringement, in fact Gangzhu Qiao admires the Dreampad product itself very much, and even feels in his heart that its revolutionary and creative nature is only inferior to the iPhone.
Just now, Jobs looked at Fairy Company's 84 patents. There were quite a few invention and appearance patents that neither he nor the elites at Apple had thought of. But when he saw it, he felt suddenly enlightened. That kind of iPhone is the best in the world.
The feeling of being alone suddenly disappeared a lot.
If Apple wants to develop smartphones in the future, using these patents from Mingxiang Holdings and Qicai Investment will undoubtedly usher in a huge improvement.
This is true for smartphones, let alone smart tablets. Who can get around their abnormally intensive patent applications?
"Mr. Xiao has come a long way, why not take a day off in our small town. Although the food and beautiful scenery here are not as good as tourist resorts, they still have a different flavor." After a long silence, Jobs finally spoke, "Apple is not mine alone.
, Next, we will take Mr. Xiao’s request to the emergency board for discussion, which may take a certain amount of time, so please wait patiently, Mr. Xiao.”
"good!"
Xiao Qi said with a smile: "I am full of affection for California. It is my lifelong wish to have fun here."
By being able to get Jobs to say such soft words, Xiao Qi knew that his goal had basically been achieved.
As for the excuse that Apple is not Jobs, Xiao Qi doesn't believe it, because only with Jobs, Apple is Apple. Without Jobs, Apple will no longer be the Apple we are familiar with.
This was the case in the previous life.
