In addition, the Sugon mobile system is only semi-open source, not an open source system like Android. They only obtained the right to use the semi-open source Sugon mobile system.
In this life, Huawei Technology cannot do the same thing as in the previous life, using the "Android skin and Hongmeng bones" routine.
Apart from anything else, all it takes for Sugon Technology to be upset is that Sugon's mobile phone system does not support the mobile phone chips developed by Huawei Technology, and Huawei Technology can make Huawei Technology faint in tears in the toilet.
So Huawei Technology seems to have saved a few years of effort, but in fact if they really agree to reach a technology patent mutual licensing agreement with Sugon Technology, they will invisibly become the cage of Sugon Technology.
This seems to be quite good news for Huawei Technology, but in fact it is news that kills Huawei Technology, a company with unlimited future potential.
And the most annoying thing is that the actual benefits of both parties are not equal to the future payment.
Huawei Technology gained short-term gains, but lost its future. Sugon Technology also seemed to have an additional competitor, adding to its own obstacles.
But for Sugon Technology, it’s just a matter of having too many lice and not having to worry about too many debts. Sugon Technology currently has many powerful enemies.
When Huawei Technology joined at this time, it was actually helping Sugon Mobile System expand its software and game ecosystem and share the survival pressure of Sugon Mobile System's software and game ecosystem.
Currently, the installed base of Saipan mobile phone system is increasing. Even if Sugon Mobile can maintain full production and sales, its sales ratio will not be as high as the total global mobile phone sales.
Under this situation, Sugon Technology actually hides a fatal crisis. This fatal crisis is that global mobile game and software developers may abandon the Sugon mobile system!
After all, developing software and games requires costs, and the wages of programmers are notoriously high. The cost of hiring one programmer can hire two or three general workers!
As time goes by in the future, mobile game content will become richer and richer, and mobile software will have more and more functions.
This means that the cost of developing mobile games and mobile software will become higher and higher.
In this case, if your mobile phone system has few users, then don’t blame global mobile game and software developers for giving up on your system.
Of course, this evil effect has not yet been shown in the current era. After all, mobile games and software in the current era are too simple, and the development cost is not too high.
Therefore, many mobile game and software companies around the world do not mind developing multiple system versions of mobile games and software.
In this case, the consequences have not yet appeared at the current time. It may take a year or two to fully appear. At this time, Lin Chen is preparing for a rainy day.
Sugon Technology alone may not be able to compete with the number of users of the Symbian system in terms of the number of mobile phone system users. What about adding Huawei Technology?
If that doesn't work, then set up a wholly-owned subsidiary to enter the low-end mobile phone market, and then add the number of users of the three mobile phone systems together?
Regarding the Sugon mobile phone system, Lin Chen does not expect to defeat the Saipan mobile phone system in terms of the number of users. Lin Chen's goal is to have 200 million to 400 million Sugon mobile phone system users in the world on a regular basis.
As long as there are 200 million to 400 million users, the Sugon mobile system will be as stable as Mount Tai. Finally, the huge prize money from the Sugon Cup Software and Game Competition will attract the birth of original mobile games and software.
Once such a set of measures is implemented, Lin Chen will not have to worry about being abandoned by global mobile game and software developers in the future.
And this is also the reason why Sugon Technology wants to win over Huawei Technology. Lin Chen is not just causing trouble for himself, but he has many plans hidden in secret.
As for the problem that Sugon Technology can eat less cake with the addition of another competitor, first of all, Sugon Technology cannot capture the majority of global mobile phone sales.
If Sugon Technology can capture 30% of global mobile phone sales, it will be considered a super achievement.
Therefore, even if Huawei Technology succeeds, it will not actually grab much of Sugon Technology’s cake, but rather grab other people’s cakes.
As for the homogeneity of mobile phones between the two parties, Lin Chen naturally has a way to make his mobile phone beat the somewhat homogeneous Huawei mobile phone.
After all, the mobile phone system and processor are not the only selling points of the mobile phone. As a time traveler, Lin Chen can do a lot of things on the mobile phone.
Therefore, Sugon Technology seems to have invisibly given itself a strong competitor, but in fact it has killed a competitor with unlimited potential.
Once the two parties really cooperate, Nahuawei Technology will never be able to achieve the level of its previous life. It will always be able to live in the cage of Sugon Technology, be controlled by Sugon Technology, and silently contribute to the brilliance of Sugon Technology.
And after Shuguang Technology obtained the technology patents accumulated by Huawei Technology for more than 20 years through mutual authorization.
In the future, not only can we develop our own independent mobile communication chips for 2G GSM and 3G WCDMA for self-use or external sales.
It is also possible to directly integrate communication chips with mobile phone processors to create mobile phone SOC chips, resulting in lower overall production costs.
Of course, Sugon Technology actually has another advantage. This advantage lies in the 4G mobile communication technology that Sugon Technology is developing.
Because 4G mobile communication technology was not born out of thin air, it is also based on the previous generation. It is impossible not to use the basic communication technology patents on 2G or 3G.
Therefore, even if Sugon Technology develops its own 4G mobile communication technology, it will still have to pay patent fees to others in the future.
But now that we have reached a patent mutual licensing cooperation with Huawei Technology, because you use my patent and I use your patent, the patent fees will naturally offset a large part of each other.
Invisibly, Sugon Technology not only has the qualifications to enter the communications industry, but can also save a lot of patent fees.
"I wonder what your company's plans are for cooperation in mutual licensing of technology patents?"
Lin Chen smiled and asked about Ren Zhengfei, the head of Huawei Technology.
"I personally agree with your company's cooperation proposal, but we still need to go back and hold a high-level meeting to make a decision."
Hearing the words of Ren Zhengfei, the head of Huawei, Lin Chen nodded lightly, secretly thinking in his heart that the matter was settled, and then said with a smile:
"Yes, Mr. Ren can contact me at any time when he arrives."
"Um."
Ren Zhengfei nodded lightly and agreed.
So Lin Chen continued to chat with Ren Zhengfei, financial directors Meng Yazhou and Yu Chengxi about the details of mutual licensing cooperation of technology patents.
Among them, the people on the Huawei Technology side were obviously very excited, and had no idea that there was actually a deceptive conspiracy behind this cooperation.
After all, Huawei Technology's ambitions at this time have not reached the level of the previous life, and they did not expect that they could achieve that level. Different strengths naturally bring different ambitions.
At this time, Huawei Technology was quite satisfied with the short-term benefits, but as for the long-term benefits, it subconsciously ignored or even ignored them.
It can only be said that both parties in this cooperation are quite satisfied, and both have achieved what they want. It can be regarded as a mutually beneficial cooperation.
In this way, the dinner ended quickly.
Lin Chen did not continue to accompany the subsequent negotiations on chip foundry, and directly handed over the negotiations to Rebus.
Lin Chen continued to be busy with improving the chip yield rate and designing mobile phone communication chips, and time passed slowly like this.
September 8, 2003 was also the first anniversary of Sugon Technology officially releasing the first Sugon mobile phone.
On this exactly one-year anniversary, Sugon Technology once again convened many domestic and foreign reporters for a press conference.
Seeing this, many domestic and foreign reporters were naturally overjoyed.
Because according to the nature of Sugon Technology, there may be big news when Sugon Technology calls everyone here this time. This is good news for their reporters.
However, when reporters came to the scene and saw Lin Chen standing with Ren Zhengfei from Huawei Technology, they vaguely guessed the content of the press conference.
“I am very pleased that the journalists and guests participated in this joint press conference between Sugon Technology and Huawei Technology.
This press conference is mainly to announce the details of the cooperation between Sugon Technology and Huawei Technology. "
It was Lin Chen who spoke at this time. After all, as the host, Lin Chen naturally spoke first.
"Mr. Lin Chen, what kind of cooperation have you reached with Huawei Technology?"
A reporter with the "Nanfang Metropolis Daily" trademark on his microphone asked Lin Chen.
Seeing this, Lin Chen did not hide it, but directly answered:
“Our cooperation is mainly divided into two parts. One is that we will OEM chips for Huawei Technology.
The total amount of this foundry chip order may reach 7 billion Xia Yuan per year! "
"Wow!"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, the scene instantly became an uproar.
Many inexperienced reporters were surprised by the huge amount of chip foundry, and were surprised that Sugon Technology had won a super large order.
After all, 7 billion Xia Yuan is equivalent to 846 million U.S. dollars at an exchange rate of 1:8.27!
Huawei Technology actually spends US$846 million every year to find Sugon Technology to manufacture chips. This is a huge order.
The journalists who were knowledgeable about Huawei Technology all looked at Ren Zhengfei in disbelief, suspecting that Huawei Technology had gone crazy.
After all, according to their understanding, the total turnover of Huawei Technology in 2002 was only 22.1 billion summer yuan. This year, Huawei Technology is developing well and it is said that the total turnover can exceed 30 billion summer yuan.
But now Lin Chen says that the scale of chip foundry can reach 7 billion a year. When comparing these two figures, something is wrong.
