Chapter 197

"Since Mr. Xiao has said so, I Mario will help you complete this entrustment." Mario pondered, "I'll pack up my things and start tomorrow. Now let's draw up an entrustment contract. The patent code can use your application number in the U.S. trademark and patent office."

"Good."

Xiao Qi appreciates Mario more and more. In addition to his patience, perseverance and kindness, he is also so crisp and careful. No wonder he can bring down the arrogant villain in the future.

Mario is a very rigorous person. He picked up Xiao Qi's patent application number, drafted the contract again, and soon wrote out a simple and clearly defined entrustment contract.

Xiao Qi took it and looked, "eh, Mr. Mello, aren't there dozens of contracts and a lot of useful and useless things? Why is it so simple? "

"Those are things that are not confident in themselves and set aside their responsibilities first. I don't need them." Mario shrugged. "I'm a lawyer. I'm not here to cheat. Do I have to work so hard?"

Treating people sincerely is a great advantage of Mario. It is for this reason that so many people who have no money to hire lawyers summon up the courage to ask Mario for help.

Xiao Qi simply looked at the binding force of the contract, signed his name, and then handed out a written check.

"Two million?" Mario took a look and frowned: "the contract is not written. The total cost is 200000, plus my travel expenses? Why did you give me so much? "

"When I walked in just now, I saw several people moving, so I asked by the way." Xiao Qi said faintly, "your office is going to be demolished. The new address hasn't been settled yet, has it? Take this money first. After all, I want to do business in China. In the future, it is inconvenient to come directly to the United States, so it's nothing to find a cooperative lawyer and advance a little money first. "

Mario didn't know what business Xiao Qi did. He thought it was just the same investment as other Chinese people. After a little thought, he accepted the check, "well, even if I borrow your money."

"Don't borrow, it's an investment." Xiao Qi smiled. "There will be a lot of things in the future. You can't do it alone. Why don't you open a small law firm and find some people to help you. Even if I invest in the law firm, this money will be mine."

"Where do I have so many cases to do?" Although it is the dream of all lawyers to open their own law firm, Mario shook his head again and again. "The more people you find, the more salary you will have to pay. You'd better not do this business if you lose money."

"Mr. Mello, look at the more than 100 patents I have applied for. This is only the first step. There will be more heavy things to deal with in the future." Xiao Qi said involuntarily, "it's settled. I account for 20% of your firm, and you can decide the rest by yourself. I won't interfere."

As soon as Mario heard that his law firm, which had not yet opened, was valued at $10 million by Xiao Qi, he immediately refused.

"It's better to help the poor people to open a lawyer's office for a while." And convinced Mario.

It's fair to say that Mario is a good man, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to make more money. Helping others and trying to make money are two things that don't contradict each other.

In the future, Xiao Qi will face giants such as Qiao Bangzhu, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and so on. Without a strong lawyer team, I'm afraid he will be mentally exhausted by this heavy prosecution and being sued before he does much business.

Mario's ability may not be as good as those gold medal barristers, but his patience and toughness are absolutely first-class. With the help of such a good lawyer, Xiao Qi can rest assured about the legal affairs of the company in the future.

Xiao Qi's time is very urgent. Seeing that the iPhone is about to appear on the market, the era of smart phones will come. For the purchase of some patents, it is absolutely an urgent task.

Although the total number of patents for smart phones and tablets is thousands, they are basically four patents: chip patents, underlying protocol level patents, operating system technology patents and application system patents.

Except that the application system patents may be developed by small and medium-sized companies, more than 80% of the other three basic and core patents are in the hands of large companies.

Xiao Qi came to Linus for the third "operating system technology patent". He doesn't need to buy this patent, so his focus is on the first two.

Chip patents are different from underlying protocol level patents.

Chip patents are generally specific to a manufacturer, such as Texas Instruments, ADI, Qualcomm, Nokia and so on.

The underlying protocol level patents involve almost all first-class mobile phone manufacturers, such as Nokia, Motorola, Philips, Siemens, Sony Ericsson and so on.

Between the two, the patent barrier is the most serious at the bottom agreement level, especially when the general 2G mobile phone is very popular and the profit is the largest, they will definitely not give Xiao Qi such a nobody the opportunity to share the profit.

In the information given by William private consulting company, Xiao Qi found that Merrill Lynch was behind ADI and Goldman Sachs was behind Texas Instruments. He didn't feel a headache for a while.

Whether Merrill Lynch or Goldman Sachs, they are the top-level presence in the U.S. financial sector, especially Goldman Sachs, which is known as the most terrible and greedy investment bank in the United States, which is stronger than the Morgan system, which has dominated Wall Street for a long time.

To win the cake from Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs, you have to be prepared to sacrifice one hand.

Qualcomm's background is much simpler. It is jointly owned and independently operated by hundreds of famous engineers.

Unfortunately, they are never short of money. Before, many companies wanted to invest or buy their patents, but Qualcomm did not agree.

Now we can't see Qualcomm's vision, but when the 3G intelligent era comes, Qualcomm will become the electronics industry company with the largest patent revenue in the world, and the high profit will make everyone jealous.

Even when smartphones began to prevail, Qualcomm actually existed like an ant compared with Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and even Citigroup. As a result, Qualcomm still relied on the advantages of its extremely pure technology company and did not need to be subject to anyone at all. Several famous investment banks had no place to start if they wanted to swallow the hen laying golden eggs（ It's not finished yet.
