Wu Tao's feeling is not wrong.
After dinner, when the two sides officially began to negotiate, Frank didn't have much enthusiasm on his face and looked like a business.
"We welcome developing countries like Huaxia to join our ETSI Association. As long as your domestic companies and operators pay dues according to the standards specified by the association, they can jointly participate in and develop GSM standards... "
This is really taking the Chinese side as the big head of injustice.
Gu Xueli naturally can not be allowed. Moreover, when he mentioned the GSM standard in his report submitted to the top, this so-called additional membership fee cost can not be included.
At first, Wu Tao didn't speak. In addition, he deliberately kept a low profile, and no one knew the identity of his important words.
Unexpectedly, frank, a dead pig, was not afraid of boiling water and resolutely refused to give in. In his opinion, you Chinese expert group came to us anyway, so you naturally have to follow our requirements.
Gu Xueli gave Wu Tao a look. He is responsible for singing red face. Naturally, someone should be responsible for singing white face.
As soon as Wu Tao opened his mouth, Frank was surprised.
"If I'm right, is Mr. Frank from Alcatel Telecom? How much membership fee does your company pay each year? "
Frank made up his mind and said, "Alcatel Telecom is one of the founders of ETSI Association. It doesn't need to pay dues according to the standard."
"Oh ~" Wu Tao said, "does Mr. Frank think that China has no choice but to adopt GSM standard? As far as I know, there is also a telecommunications standard called CDMA in South Korea and the United States, which is more advanced and reliable than your GSM standard in technology. "
"... frankly speaking, we are sincerely participating in the promotion and application of GSM standards. If the esti association has always been this attitude, why don't we consider the CDMA standard? "
"... it happened that when I was in Hanover, Germany, a few days ago, I just talked to a representative of Qualcomm."
As soon as these words were thrown out, French Frank had to think about it.
As a stenographer, Isabella looked at Wu Tao's beautiful eyes after writing.
This Chinese is really interesting. It's very human and exciting.
After Wu Tao's white face sang, Gu Xueli's red face continued to sing: "Mr. Frank, in fact, we didn't want to join ETSI this time, because the GSM standard is becoming more and more mature, and our joining can't play a great role in improving the technical standard."
"... however, the GSM standard will eventually develop the next generation of mobile communication standards in the future. This generation of standards are all on the same starting line. We Huaxia hope to work together with our European colleagues in this matter."
At this point, Frank has been moved several times.
Who says that China is poor and knows nothing about mobile communication technology? It's a big injustice. This is nonsense!
People know not only the CDMA standard, the competitor of GSM standard, but also the next generation mobile communication technology standard.
In fact, in Europe, the next generation mobile communication technology standard has just been put on the agenda and has not been made public.
In this case, the expert group of Huaxia can know that it is obvious that there has been accumulation in this technical direction for a long time.
"Well, well... We can talk about this again..." Frank finally let go.
After some negotiation, Frank finally agreed to share the GSM technical standard with Huaxia without paying the so-called membership fee.
Of course, the cost of technical training is excluded.
For the establishment of the next generation mobile communication technology standards organization, the two sides have also reached a preliminary intention of cooperation.
So far, everything is going well.
Until Frank's topic was finally implemented to Yuanqi technology, the two sides had differences again.
"As a mobile phone manufacturer, Yuanqi technology needs to buy the GSM patent license in the mobile phone chip. This is the cost of GSM patents of various manufacturers, which has nothing to do with the GSM standard."
Wu Tao couldn't help laughing. If he did, it would be different from Qualcomm, an old patent hooligan. It's just 50 steps laughing at 100 steps.
In fact, domestic enterprises in previous generations will purchase the licenses of Western GSM patent giants every year, so as to eliminate the risk of intellectual property infringement of export products.
For Yuanqi technology, this point can not be bypassed at all.
After all, lotus Mobile's overseas expansion plan is already on the line and has to be sent.
To this end, take out more money, whether you can afford it or not, it is somewhat reluctant.
"With all due respect, Mr. Frank. I don't know if this is what you mean or what Nokia and Ericsson mean. "
"... anyway, I can theoretically pay the money. However, I also have two requirements. First, I hope the other party will provide a detailed list of basic patents to avoid repeated payments by Yuanqi technology on some basic patents; Second, can we ensure the risk of intellectual property infringement of export products after we pay it? Who will ensure it? "
"... on the other hand, Yuanqi technology will gradually form its own patent system. Does it mean that Yuanqi technology can also charge royalties from large companies such as Nokia and Ericsson? "
Wu Tao's successive questions showed a momentum of "come on, hurt each other.".
Gu Xueli was stunned. He didn't expect Wu Tao to have such a strong side in foreign negotiations.
In the eyes of the members of the expert group, they are also a little confused.
In their view, the use of patents and the payment of patent fees are natural and justified. How can Yuanqi technology dig into this matter?
In fact, Wu Tao also had a try with a state of mind.
Even if the meat is destined to be bitten by Western giants, Wu Tao will make them feel very laborious.
Otherwise, if it goes too smoothly, it will easily give the other party the impression that "the money is easy to search".
In this case, it will be difficult to recycle in the future.
What's more, the list of basic patents for designing GSM standard is a mess among the major giants. You have me and I have you.
It is not easy to provide a clear basic list of real delivery.
Frank didn't expect it, and he thought the issue should have been made. But I didn't expect that the Chinese people were going to be penniless at all.
Who told himself that Chinese people are wronged? This is an Iron Rooster!
"What do you say to do?" Frank, there's no way.
Wu Tao sat up straight and said, "in my opinion, as a promoter of GSM standard, ETSI had better not encourage this kind of patent war. Because this will only have a negative impact on the promotion and application of GSM standards. "
"... to take a step back, even if the patent war cannot be avoided, it should also be discussed by the specific issues related to the company. ETSI should take the initiative to reconcile this contradiction."
Looking at Wu Tao's vows, Frank was speechless.
That's right, but I always think there's something wrong
