Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 646 [New Situation in the Industry]

When he returned home, Luo Sheng informed the housekeeper to order things. The female employees who had been doing housekeeping services in the Science and Technology Complex for seven or eight years were dismissed according to Luo Sheng's request.

Although they were reluctant and wanted to stay and continue to work, after all, Luo Sheng's treatment for them was much higher than the salary of their peers, and they could gain knowledge.

But the housekeeper's words were already very clear, and at the same time they were very satisfied with the generous liquidated damages.

The steward of the Science and Technology Complex is an elite. Luo Sheng quickly understood these things and knew that An Qingxue was pregnant, because Luo Sheng also confessed to hire an obstetrician's personal assistant, which is not obvious.

The housekeeper was hired by Luo Sheng after the building was completed. After so many years, he certainly understood some of the employer's life, and he naturally understood the intention of dismissing these people.

However, the female domestic workers who were fired did not know the real reason. Instead, they felt that most of the scumbag bosses were already bored and wanted to change their tastes. The generous liquidated damages and non-disclosure agreements were considered by them as hush money.

It is indeed a sealing fee, but this sealing fee is not the other sealing fee.

Naturally, these female employees dare not go out and talk nonsense. On the one hand, they have signed a non-disclosure agreement, and once they breach the contract, they may lose their fortunes. That is nothing. On the other hand, they know that the world’s richest man wants to clean up their small roles. It's easy. Under the double shock, it will naturally be tight-lipped.

However, they have not left their jobs immediately, they have to complete the handover of work, and the housekeeper has to hire a new group of new people to take over their work, otherwise such a large building will not be taken care of.

Luo Sheng doesn't have to worry about these problems by himself, just order them, and the personal butler will arrange everything properly.

Adding a little princess to the family did not disrupt Luo Sheng’s pace of life, nor did he have any impact on his work. He knew more than 5 people. The family affairs were quite low-key, and few outsiders knew about it, even He is still at the single level in public view.

This also gave many gossip media and gossip netizens more talk about guessing. The question of whether the archbishop has a girlfriend was also fierce online, but this did not substantially affect Luo Sheng's life.

...

On the company side, Yao Jianhong found someone from Huawei and talked about it.

Hua is the board of directors.

At the meeting, Xu Zhijun said: "What do you think about this matter?"

A director at the meeting said: "I don't know if this is Luo Sheng's meaning or Yao Jianhong's meaning, but there is no difference. It is enough to know that this is the meaning of the Blue Coast board."

Yu Dazui said, "How else can we look at it? On the surface, we are given a choice, but do we actually have a choice? Not agreeing is tantamount to putting us on fire and offending the entire industry."

Another director shook his head and smiled bitterly and said: “It’s no accident that the Côte d’Azur has grown to this point in just over ten years. It’s really a skill to play the ball. It left the problem to us. It’s good for him. Take it too, we are the bad guys."

Elder Ren held the palm of his hand and placed the back on his thigh, and said with a smile: "You can't say that. If we agree, we don't have to be bad guys. If we can consult us in advance, courtesy comes first. If we don't agree, I believe Azure As they said, the coast should stop licensing and distributing this technology."

Another director clapped his hands and said, "That's because he knew we would definitely agree, so he came to such a trick."

Mr. Ren said: "That's not it? Anyway, this is conducive to the sustainable development of the entire industry, but he wants to eat the biggest head on the blue coast. This is understandable, it is their ability. We have difficulties, and we all have difficulties. The Côte d’Azur must consider their long-term problems. This is their difficulty. We can’t let the Côte d’Azur be able to solve the risks and turn a blind eye to benefit others, right? Motivation is anti-human."

Obviously, Mr. Ren has seen the strategic intention of the layout of the Blue Coast.

Mr. Ren continued: "I also admit that human nature is selfish, and there is nothing wrong with selfishness, but there are two levels of selfishness in it, one is selfishness that hurts others, and the other is selfishness that satisfies others. By the way, I can satisfy my selfishness. The Côte d’Azur’s move is the latter. This is already commendable. Lao Tzu said in the Tao Te Ching: Selflessness is selfishness."

"Although the Côte d’Azur is a bit overbearing in doing this, it cannot be denied that their proposal itself fully takes into account the partners. There is no actual loss of glory. On the contrary, it gives a better future. If I am asked to treat the Côte d’Azur’s practice including its past To make an evaluation of the practice, just two words-kindness."

After Mr. Ren finished speaking, the board of directors was quiet for a moment, and everyone looked at each other and nodded involuntarily.

A director at the meeting laughed and said: "The evaluation of the word "kindness" is indeed very pertinent. How many people can really be kind in a sly shopping mall? Unscrupulous means to achieve goals abound, and they are all legal Unruly picking up bad money to eat, Luo Sheng is really kind, at least he didn't play any tricks of "sucking the yin legs" with our company, saying not to intervene in our core business, and we did what we said, and we have been waiting for our baseband instead. Self-research is still using Qualcomm. We have been hit by foreigners before, and we have not blamed our communication baseband for not progressing well. This is kind."

Another director also said: "The relationship between our company and the Côte d'Azur can be described as a gentleman's friendship. The Côte d'Azur is worthy of the word gentleman, and we can't be a villain."

According to the strategic cooperation agreement 11 years ago, Huawei's communication baseband technology has caught up, and the Blue Coast will abandon Qualcomm's technology at that time, and Luo Sheng has indeed not self-developed communication baseband until now.

Can't it be done?

A series of leading technologies of the Côte d’Azur Labs have gathered together, and no one will doubt its R&D capabilities. This is fulfilling its promise.

And Huawei is indeed struggling with communication baseband chip technology.

In addition, the server business of Huawei is worth mentioning. This is a fringe business, but now it is faintly getting bigger and bigger. This situation cannot be achieved without the support of Luo Sheng ten years ago, knowing that Huawei’s server The technology is not good, but we still keep giving orders, and this is where we are today.

Although this was Luo Sheng's preparation to avoid being held back by foreigners, it was profitable anyway.

At the end, Yu Dazui said, "So that means agreeing? Okay, then I will call Mr. Yao later."

All the directors are meaningless. Obviously, this is the case, and there is not much talk about it.

The next thing is the question of which technology we want, and this will be discussed at another meeting.

Mr. Ren finally added: “We want to buy the technology of the Blue Coast, but the Honor brand, including other businesses throughout the company, cannot be influenced by'comrador thinking.'

Everyone nodded their heads, making it better to buy, buying better than renting is not the genes of Huawei, nor is it lack of money for research and development. Huawei is still rich, but not as rich as the Côte d’Azur. The annual R&D investment is also among the best in the world. A big group.

Secondly, relying too much on the technology of the Côte d’Azur will inevitably be constrained in the future. This is not the style of Huawei. What other companies think about other people’s things, but what they should do, must adhere to the original self-research policy. Unshakable.

...

After learning about Huawei's attitude on the Côte d'Azur, Yao Jianhong was finally able to give his friends a definite reply.

A week later, several well-known domestic brands sent representatives to the Côte d’Azur headquarters to discuss the cooperation in technology licensing and distribution. Well-known manufacturers came, including overseas Samsung and Apple, two international manufacturers.

It is no exaggeration to say that the distribution of this technology authorization is a major event in the global smartphone industry, but such a major event is done very low-key, with little publicity and no shock in the industry.

That's because the time for the vibration has not yet arrived, and how the distribution should be divided is a big problem.

Technology distribution is exclusive. If a technology is licensed to one manufacturer, other third parties cannot get the same technology from the Côte d’Azur, but it will not prevent the third party from looking for other companies to cooperate, or you can develop your own technology. Come out, this is by ability.

This matter was discussed for almost two months. In the end, Glory got the superior technology of the camera from the Côte d’Azur, OPPO got the superior technology of the industrial design, and vivo got the superior technology of the sound and the small microphone. With the advantage of 2k screen technology, Apple has the technological advantage of the system.

At the same time, all manufacturers have access to LiFi technology, not Azure-5 exclusive.

This basically determines the main selling points of major manufacturers' products in the future. The industry as a whole has raised a grade, but the pattern has not changed. Everyone has improved, which means that there is no improvement.

But the price can be raised. The whole cake of the whole industry must be bigger. Of course, only consumers will pay the bill. In return, they can also enjoy technical services matching the price.

As for how to evolve in the future, it is a matter of skill, but no matter what, it will not threaten the position of the Cote d’Azur as the industry leader. These manufacturers should have the advantage technology Azure smartphone, and the advantage technology Azure smartphone also has. For example, the "blue core" processor of housekeeping skills, artificial intelligence and the current graphene + OLED flexible screen, these technologies will not be authorized.

Since it is a technology license, it is naturally not a free lunch. A mobile phone sold by a friend who uses the technology of the azure coast is charged at 7.5% of the profit after excluding the manufacturing cost, which is equal to a mobile phone profit of 100 yuan. , The Blue Coast only draws 7.5 yuan, which is much more kind than Qualcomm who is playing "double charge" or pumping at the retail price of the whole machine.

This industry-wide adjustment is also good news for consumers who cannot afford Azure-5 mobile phones, and they can also enjoy better technical services through other brands.

The current era is an era of continuous industry segmentation. All walks of life are further segmenting their needs. Taking smart phones as an example, different consumer demand markets are segmented. Some people prefer to take more photos with their phones, and some people prefer Some people prefer a little more music, some people prefer a little more system, and don't have too many requirements for other functions.

An Azure-5 can bring a full range of high-quality services, of course it is the best, but the price is also the most expensive.

In the future, you can choose products based on the selling points of major manufacturers, so that major manufacturers have their own basic disks. This will definitely impact the performance of Azure mobile phones, but this part of the economic loss has been authorized by technology. The rake is hedged out. This is the income of stably "supplying" the azure coast. It can be said that the income is guaranteed by drought and flood.

Other friends and merchants may lose, but the Côte d'Azur is just another person who accepts "offers".

What is certain is that in the future, there will definitely be manufacturers who will taste the sweetness of this kind of "comprehensive" technology and become lazy. Luo Sheng will not care about it. Market behavior will eliminate these manufacturers and some will replace them.
