No matter how strong the company is, it involves specific decisions, which are also decided by some or a few people.
As the infant of the international market, it is absolutely unrealistic for Yuanqi technology at this time to touch the complex internal relationship network of the opponent, so as to know yourself and the enemy and be invincible in a hundred battles.
First, Yuanqi technology does not have such a powerful information network; Second, the competition among manufacturers is far from so intense.
Even Isabella sent by the other party is also a novice in the water.
After all, even Wu Tao can see her means. Naturally, she can't be regarded as a professional commercial spy.
Therefore, Wu Tao is also a fake and real clamor. Although he shows some rogue and naughty, as long as he can deceive people.
Even if you can't fool, it doesn't matter. Think of another move!
Fortunately, before dinner, the phone in the hotel room finally rang.
Wu Tao picked it up. It was the voice of his old friend Pete. After a brief conversation in English, he hung up the phone.
Ericsson took the initiative to invite, it seems that his words probably worked.
Otherwise, just preparing the basic patent list and organizing a business negotiation team can not be completed in such a short time.
Moreover, the two sides had a basis for cooperation before.
In addition, Ericsson is also the main business in the field of domestic telecommunications equipment. Under comprehensive trade-offs, it is undoubtedly the most secure for the other party to choose the mode of cooperation in the field of mobile phone products.
That night, Wu Tao and Tan Xiaofei stepped into the tavern where the door was hidden but there was extreme elegance and luxury.
Wu Tao can also see that in French wine culture, wine undoubtedly occupies the mainstream, and the decoration and atmosphere of the tavern are different.
It's not as passionate as other countries, but more elegant and infatuated. It's like boiling frogs in warm water, which makes people unconsciously intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
This may be the underlying reason why France is called a romantic country.
They just appeared in the tavern and found themselves.
Peter is also an old acquaintance. At present, Wu Tao stretched out his hand and asked Tan Xiaofei to go first and follow him.
When he got closer, he found a middle-aged Swede with beard, Hans.
As soon as they met, they first grabbed Tan Xiaofei's slender hand and kissed her hand.
Although the other party's bearded mouth didn't touch Tan Xiaofei's hand, it still made her goose bumps.
Fortunately, it's just so far.
Then Peter said, "Mr. Hans came from the headquarters specially to cooperate with you..."
Wu Tao smiled and nodded, but he thought in his heart that I almost believed him.
Naturally, he won't expose it. Not only that, but also have to chat with each other happily.
Then both sides sat down and called the waiter to order drinks.
Then Hans came straight to the point, "Wu, you know, Ericsson has made great contributions to the establishment of GSM technical standards. It is an unspoken rule of the industry to charge patent licensing fees for companies that subsequently adopt GSM technical standards. "
Wu Tao listened to the other party's routine, nodded from time to time and waited patiently for the other party to get to the point.
Hans said and motioned to Peter. The latter took out a stack of thick documents from his briefcase and said, "this is Ericsson's basic patent list on GSM technical standards. You can see how complex and huge GSM technical standards are."
Tan Xiaofei took it, glanced at it and handed it to Wu Tao.
Wu Tao took it over suspiciously and thought to himself that the two Swedes had even prepared the list. What does it mean?
I opened it and was immediately relieved.
This is obviously an unorganized patent list. It would be foolish to take it seriously.
Because he saw it in Gu Xueli's side, the total number of patents involved in GSM technical standards is more than 100, which is the sum of several giants.
Now Ericsson family has taken out nearly 100 pieces. How is this possible?
Fortunately, Hans turned his head, "don't get me wrong, Wu. Ericsson does not want to take this list, bargain with your company, or negotiate any terms, but to show our sincerity to your company. "
"... in view of the friendly cooperation between the two sides and Ericsson's support principle for the Chinese market, the company decided to share these patent standards with your company free of charge for a period of five years!"
Hans was so impassioned that he almost moved himself.
After talking, looking at Wu Tao, who was indifferent and unresponsive, his excitement almost couldn't come back.
Peter saw this and thought Wu Tao was dissatisfied. He immediately added, "Wu, if you think the sharing period is a little short, we can discuss it again."
Wu Tao recovered after hearing the speech, waved his hand and said, "no, Mr. Peter. In fact, as long as Yuanqi technology is given three years, we can prove to you how wise the current decision is. "
Peter could not help but be stunned. He dared to be amorous. It didn't take him so long.
There is no free lunch.
Ericsson's five-year free sharing plan also has the idea of "pig fattening and slaughtering".
Wu Tao can even conclude that once five years later, the patent layout of Yuanqi technology is not enough to compete with giants such as Ericsson, the other party will be the first to turn around and find trouble with Yuanqi technology.
After a pause, Hans and Peter exchanged eyes and added, "Wu, I have to remind you that since the patents related to the standards we provide are shared free of charge, we will not be responsible for any patent infringement disputes between you and other companies, such as Nokia or Alcatel."
What this means is that these patent lists must overlap with other giants. Once you tear, we won't get involved.
Wu Tao nodded in his spare time: "Mr. Hans, that's nature!"
After talking, he stretched out his hand and said, "I wish both sides a happy cooperation!"
Hans did not forget to remind us: "Wu, in view of our goodwill and support, once Yuanqi technology has good cooperation opportunities in the future, I hope you will consider us first."
"Don't worry, Mr. Hans. I dare to assert that when Ericsson's mobile phone business unit encounters a crisis in the future, Yuanqi technology must be the first to lend a helping hand. "
Although that sounds good, Hans and Peter always feel a little uncomfortable.
Peter shook his head and kindly reminded: "although Ericsson has released the greatest goodwill to your company, Nokia and Alcatel still need your own response."
Wu Tao's eyes narrowed. "Thank you for Mr. Pitt's reminder. There is an old Chinese saying that call soldiers to block, and water and earth cover up. Even if Nokia is unwilling to cooperate with us for win-win results now, I believe they will regret their decision soon! "
With that, Wu Tao exuded a confident momentum.
Seeing Hans and Peter look at each other, they are vaguely happy.
