Global monopoly of technology

On January 12, 2015, Côte d’Azur published a message on the official website and blog of "All the technical patents of the blue pure electric car will be open", declaring: We are in the spirit of open source movement and open its Patented technology aims to attract more outstanding engineers to enter this field, and together promote the progress of electric vehicle technology.

At the same time, the news article stated that: As long as anyone wants to use the related patented technology of Côte d'Azur pure electric vehicles in good faith, Côte d'Azur will not initiate a patent infringement lawsuit against it.

The news came out and the whole industry exploded.

Overnight, the Côte d'Azur won the industry and domestic media such as "subversion", "unprecedented", "creative work with great courage and pattern", "respectful" and other evaluations and praises.

However, although overseas international media have conducted large-scale reports on this matter, they have not received too many positive praises. It seems to be a mechanical and emotional report. This matter is not a bad thing for Europe and the United States. There is absolutely no reason to be happy.

Various analytical articles and industry talk shows have all emerged.

Technology complex building, afternoon tea time.

Luo Sheng was watching an interpretation program related to him at this time.

Moderator: “According to our survey, the Côte d’Azur has accumulated more than 1,700 patented technologies so far. These patents are mainly concentrated in the fields of electric vehicle battery structure, battery management, generators, and open source vehicle operating systems. Important and even core technologies in the electric vehicle industry, and even the "lifeblood" that affects the survival of electric vehicle manufacturers, manufacturers usually set up an Accord protection mechanism for patents."

"So, why is the Côte d'Azur so generous? Is it just to hit the recent scalpers and speculators to balance the market price to benefit consumers? Or is this Luo Sheng's personal heroism?"

Industry guests analysis: "The scalpers and futures speculators may have certain factors in it, but they still don’t have that much energy. This is not Luo Sheng’s impulse to embody personal heroism. I think this should be a blue sky. The important strategic decisions made by the Coastal Board of Directors after careful consideration have a deeper strategic outlook behind them."

Moderator: "I would like to hear the details."

Guest analysis: "One of the strategies is to leverage the development of the industry through open patents, and then strengthen itself. Although the industry has various views on the open patent event of the Côte d’Azur, it is especially doubtful whether its open patents can be effectively transplanted and used. This event will objectively accelerate the development of the global electric vehicle industry as a catalyst, as Yao Jianhong said at the press conference held that day: Open patents hope that through open source, more people will participate in the development of pure electric vehicle technology and further promote pure electric vehicle technology. The development of electric cars."

Moderator: "But the problem is that this seemingly'heavy task' is not the responsibility or obligation of the Côte d'Azur as a company. Why should we promote the development of the electric vehicle industry?"

Industry guests: "From the perspective of the industry structure, the global sales of fuel vehicles last year exceeded 80 million, while the sales of electric vehicles was only 33,200. It can be seen that the proportion of electric vehicles in the entire automotive industry It is very low and in the development stage of the industry. Luo Sheng has a clear understanding of the situation. Electric vehicle projects are very small among large automakers, and some have not even developed such businesses at all."

"The prerequisite for precise formulation of a strategy is to accurately grasp the development stage of the company and the industry. From this point of view, the idea of ​​​​​​​​​

"The second strategy is to improve the universality of its technical standards through open patents. The blue electric vehicle fully embodies the Internet spirit of'openness, equality, collaboration and sharing' on the issue of open source."

"People are more willing to believe that Luo Sheng's bold approach is definitely not just to build a'common and fast-developing technology platform' and to embody the spirit of the Internet. Behind this incident is his attempt to control the pure electric automobile industry. Great ambition for future development."

"For the electric vehicle industry in its infancy in general, the biggest problem at present is that the market standards of various manufacturers are not uniform, especially in battery technology and charging technology. There are very different standards. Each manufacturer has its own During the war, a disc of loose sand and attacking each other led to traditional fuel trucks sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai theater.

"Luo Sheng wants to change this situation. Objectively speaking, due to the current technological advantages of the Côte d’Azur, coupled with the established brand awareness, its patented technology is an'unstoppable temptation' for many manufacturers, and the patent is shared with Competitors seem to be at a loss. In fact, once the opponent adopts its patented technology, it is equivalent to being included in the "common technology platform" constructed by the Côte d'Azur. In the end, the major results will improve the universality of Côte d'Azur technical standards."

The host continued: "The final result of this strategy is likely to be the Côte d'Azur being elected to the'throne' of industry standard-setters."

Industry guests: "Yes, if the Côte d’Azur can continue to maintain its existing technological advantages and scale advantages, then there is no doubt that in the near future, the Côte d’Azur will become the master of the development of the industry. This is for many manufacturers to adopt its openness China’s technical standards are no less than a strategic choice concerning one's own destiny, but no matter which choice seems to be satisfactory."

Moderator: "Speaking of which, it is still a core technology issue."

...

An Qingxue came to the living room, Luo Sheng hooked her, and sister Qingxue who had been with her for many years understood in an instant, and then came to sit next to him.

Luo Sheng often took a trip on her white thigh. Qing Xuemei massaged her gently. She glanced at Luo Sheng who was comfortable and closed her eyes to enjoy. Then she looked at the talk show. At this time, the industry guest continued Said: "From an overall analysis, there are at least three points worth learning about the French Riviera open patent incident."

Moderator: "Which three points?"

Guest: "First, the act of opening patents in the Riviera itself enlightens everyone that the value of patents, technology and other knowledge owned by enterprises does not lie in themselves, but how to make these elements a competitive advantage is the key."

"Second, the Côte d’Azur’s idea of ​​realizing self-development by promoting the development of the industry is probably a realm that many companies find it difficult to achieve. Compared with the zero-sum game competition that the business community is playing every day, we have to admit And Luo Sheng himself has the courage and ambitious pattern to become a leader in this industry. He gave me the feeling that Luo Sheng is not leading an excellent company to move forward, but leading an emerging industry. "

"Third, the Côte d’Azur is trying to become an industry standard-setter by attracting competitors to join a common technology platform. This tells us that in the Internet age, the industry’s organization, technology, knowledge and other elements will be in a state of borderlessness and important It is no longer which company is larger, but which company can build an effective and viable strategic platform that can allow the entire industry and its elements to operate reasonably on this platform, then this company has become Organizers and leaders of the entire industry have been confirmed in the Azure business platform. The thinking of the Azure Coast undoubtedly reflects the business thinking of the Internet era to the fullest."

The host smiled and said: "We can't ignore that Luo Sheng started from the Internet."

An Qingxue watched the show while rubbing, and said, "Brother Luo, this person is not easy."

Luo Sheng, who was enjoying with his eyes closed, said calmly and calmly: "Is there? Why didn't I see that he was not easy."

An Qingxue smiled lightly and nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this is the company's aggressive strategy."

Luo Sheng opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, and said: "But what he said is quite reasonable. I open up technology patents, which is a dilemma for friends and businessmen. If I join, I will become the development of the industry. The person who controls the situation, and the characteristic of people is that they don’t want to be restrained.

Sister Qingxue looked down at Luo Sheng and said with a smile: "Brother Luo must have expected this a long time ago, so there must be a later move for them to join in obediently."

Luo Sheng smiled without talking, closed his eyes and continued to enjoy the massage service brought by Qing Xuemei paper.

That's right, this is just the first punch of the whole set of combo punches.

The next day.

The Côte d’Azur company once again announced the heavy news that the company announced that all its technical patents would be open free of charge, that is to say, the epic series will be given for nothing.

As soon as the news came out, it caused great waves in the whole industry.

Don’t the current manufacturers hesitate?It's not that I am afraid that using it will make the technical standards of the Côte d'Azur universal, and ultimately become the leader and controller of the industry.

Well, Luo Sheng's trick is really a stab at it. If you don't need it, I will support the rise of new car-building forces. They can quickly rise by joining this platform with the help of the free technology open on the blue coast.

If you don't join, someone will join. The dumb bird will fly first. If you don't join, you won't even have to drink the soup.

In a sense, the big killer of free is said to allow existing competitors to choose. In fact, they have no choice. This kind of conspiracy is the most desperate.
