Sure enough, just as Wu Hao and the others had guessed, the vice president of Fruit came here to solve the problem quickly. Everyone now knows that Haoyu Technology developed wireless remote charging technology and holds all patents. Now that Fruit has come up with this technology, people can’t help but wonder whether it has stolen Haoyu Technology’s technology.
What's more, some of their technologies infringe on Haoyu Technology's related technology patents. So in the face of Haoyu Technology's strong reaction, Fruit quickly carried out crisis public relations, and on the other hand, it quickly sent people to Anxi to negotiate urgently with Wu Hao and the others, hoping to resolve the matter quickly and not affect the launch of their new products. Sale.
What makes the vice president of Fruit even more angry is that Haoyu Technology seems to be deliberately delaying time. They did not decisively reject the peace talks, but they showed that they were not so active and seemed to be close and distant.
And women seem to be more patient than men. Tong Juan's performance made the vice president angry but helpless. In the end, he had to ask to see Zhang Jun and Wu Hao by name.
Tong Juan's answer was also very direct, saying that their manager Wu was busy with a project in the laboratory and had no time. As for Mr. Zhang, his schedule has been full recently and he has no time to see him back.
And Tong Juan also told him righteously that she was the person in charge of this negotiation designated by Wu Hao, and she was the vice president of the company. She had the same status as him and was fully capable of taking charge of this negotiation.
To put it bluntly, he told the vice president that his status was too low to see Wu Hao and Zhang Jun.
Faced with Wu Hao and Zhang Jun's avoidance, the vice president had no choice but to continue talking with Tong Juan. The task assigned to him by the Fruit Headquarters is very clear, that is, to settle this company in the shortest possible time and resolve this matter without affecting the official launch of their company's products.
So the vice president also directly offered a buyout price of 30 million US dollars for the technology patent.
In response, Tong Juan shook her head. Thirty million US dollars is more than enough to buy the right to use a box of patented technology.
But it's different now. Now it's the fruit that infringes first. This means Wu Hao and the others have caught the infringement. It's impossible to settle the matter with this little money.
Overseas, infringement cases involving such large companies generally result in huge compensation, ranging from hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars.
So this price is just a trial price given by the other party. Of course, Wu Hao and the others don't care about this money.
Seeing that Tong Juan refused simply, the vice president did not feel angry, but continued to increase the price.
They even came up with a plan. Wu Hao and the others had previously signed a service sharing agreement with Guoguo regarding the use of smart voice assistants on Guoguo's mobile phone, which was the one that Zhang Jun negotiated and signed.
This agreement earns Fruits hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue every year. Fruits now wants to use this agreement in exchange for Wu Hao’s permanent license to use this technology patent.
So generous?
Wu Hao and the others shook their heads when they heard this. Now, with the popularization of more advanced smart AR glasses, smart voice assistants have become a thing of the past. Sales have also dropped significantly. The user base has also begun to gradually shrink, and the revenue will naturally become smaller. Come less and less.
Now Guoguo wants to exchange this outdated sharing agreement for a new technology with huge development prospects. How can Wu Hao and the others agree to this.
Facing Wu Hao and the others, the vice president was angry and began to increase the amount, 50 million, 80 million, 100 million!
There was a lot of pressure on the fruit headquarters, so the vice president wanted to finalize the matter in the shortest possible time.
I still don't agree. This time it's not Tong Juan, but Zhang Jun who takes action personally. His attitude is very firm, that is, he doesn't agree. If he wants to license the technology patent, it will cost him one billion U.S. dollars, and nothing less will do.
One billion dollars, this is a sky-high price. Naturally, the vice president would not agree, because this was far beyond the bottom line that the fruit gave him.
Zhang Jun naturally knew that the fruit would not agree to this price, so he shouted such a sky-high price. To put it bluntly, even if you disagree, you can't be so straightforward. You have to give the other party a little hope.
It means that the money given is too little and I am not satisfied. But everyone knows that this price cannot be given. According to the bargaining habits of Chinese people, this price can still be negotiated.
The vice president, who was well versed in this, immediately started bargaining. But Tong Juan and Zhang Jun are very determined. Even if it is one billion U.S. dollars, not even one cent less will be enough.
As a result, the negotiations were proceeding slowly, and the vice president was forced to fly back to the United States to report the status of the negotiations to Fruit's shareholders.
On the other side, Wu Hao and the others did not sit still and wait for death, and various targeted actions were immediately launched.
Faced with the fruit public relations crisis, Wu Hao and the others did not show weakness and hired a well-known European public relations company to respond in a targeted manner.
It is worth mentioning that this public relations company and the public relations company hired by Fruit are enemies. They have had many confrontations in the past, the most famous of which was the dispute between Keke and Pepsi.
Therefore, the public relations company hired by Wu Hao and the others showed great interest in this old rival and gave them a very favorable price.
In their words, there is nothing happier than causing trouble for their old rivals.
After the intervention of this public relations company, their overseas public opinion began to improve. Moreover, Wu Hao and the others took matters into their own hands, so this also allowed the direction of public opinion to be reversed in a short period of time.
We must know that the Western world itself is discriminatory against us, and it can change the opinions of Western people in such a short period of time. It must be said that this public relations company has strong targeting capabilities.
Secondly, under the advice of this public relations company. In accordance with relevant laws, Wu Hao and others officially announced the launch of relevant evidence collection work in many countries.
This invisibly turned into pressure on the vice president, so after hurriedly reporting his work, he immediately returned to Anxi and continued to negotiate with Tong Juan.
This time it was even more straightforward, doubling the original price of US$100 million to US$200 million, which was definitely a sky-high price.
However, this was obviously not what Wu Hao and the others wanted, so they decisively refused.
And according to relevant sources, the price of 200 million US dollars was also exposed through the media, which suddenly caused a sensation.
And it was confirmed once again that the fruit had indeed infringed on the technical patent, otherwise it would not have been possible to give such a sky-high price so readily.
This also forced Fruit executives to stand up and admit for the first time that the wireless remote charging technology in their products may have patent infringement, and they are currently negotiating with Haoyu Technology.
This explanation really slapped in the face the group of idiot fans in China who besieged and insulted Wu Hao and his fruit.
