BXBX NOVEL Chapter 258: A national sensation!
The contradiction between Intel and Hantang Technology has been going on for a long time. Now that Hantang Technology is proud, it has won the final victory.
Intel's president, Paul Odess, naturally felt as uncomfortable as eating rat feces.
"You will regret it!"
Intel's Paul Odess sneered at those CEOs who surrendered and compromised, and he turned away without looking back.
In this regard, the others looked at each other, and then continued to talk about their affairs.
At this time, Lin Xuan looked at the departing Intel President Paul Odes, his eyes flashed thoughtfully.
At the beginning, there were three companies behind the suppression of Hantang Technology, which cut off the chip supply of Hantang Technology, which led to the failure of the Hantang S1 high-end mobile phone.
These three companies are Motorola, Cisco, and Intel!
It was their hard work that finally allowed the suppression to proceed.
Back then, Lin Xuan swore to make these three companies regret everything they had done!
Now Cisco has suffered a huge blow. They have plummeted from the top 10 companies in market value to the current global ranking of more than 30.
In addition, this time Cisco also ceded a large part of its interests in order to obtain the production authorization of wireless optical communication technology.
Many WIFI patents, including the permanent use authorization of many Internet communication devices, were also ceded to Hantang Technology Company in the form of almost free gifts.
In addition, Cisco needs to pay a patent licensing fee of US$100 million in cash. Among the US$100 million patent licensing fee, Cisco can only obtain the most basic patent licensing fee.
After that, Cisco still needs to develop corresponding equipment by itself, so the time for them to actually launch wireless optical communication equipment will inevitably be delayed.
It can be said that in this negotiation with the WIFI Alliance, Cisco is the most unlucky one.
On the contrary, other companies such as Botong and Luxun are treated slightly better, and they can obtain relatively complete wireless optical communication patents.
It is possible to modify the shape slightly to produce the corresponding equipment. After all, they can directly purchase the silicon optical communication chip of Hantang Technology, and then produce wireless optical communication equipment.
Naturally, Cisco does not have such treatment. They did not have a bad relationship with Hantang Technology, so they cannot directly use Hantang Technology's silicon optical communication chips.
They can only develop silicon optical communication chips based on wireless optical communication patents, and then sell their wireless optical communication equipment.
So in this settlement with the WiFi Alliance, Cisco is the most unlucky.
It is conceivable that international communication giants such as Botong and Luxun will be the first to launch wireless optical communication products.
Cisco will definitely slow down by several months or even a year because it needs to develop silicon optical communication chips.
So the future development of Cisco will seriously lag behind other companies in the market.
So the plan of Chambers, the president of Cisco, to reach a settlement with Hantang Technology can only be regarded as a half success.
Although the success was less than half, the result was still extremely tragic. It is conceivable that other communication companies will take the lead in launching wireless optical communication products.
In the new track of wireless optical communication, Cisco will be in a backward position.
In the end, Cisco may no longer be able to recover the top ten market value in the past, and Cisco will never regain its previous glory!
"You shouldn't have provoked Hantang Technology in the first place!"
Signed a patent licensing contract with mixed joys and sorrows, Chambers had a bitter smile on his face at this time.
Although it has obtained the basic patent of wireless optical communication, Cisco has also obtained the right to produce wireless optical communication products in the future.
But paid 100 million US dollars and others don't need that much, plus the inability to directly purchase silicon optical communication chips, resulting in the progress of launching products behind other companies for several months or even a year...
In the end, although a license fee of 100 million U.S. dollars was paid, the corresponding patent fee must be paid to Hantang Technology when using the patent later.
How does this make Chambers happy?
Although Cisco is not the only company that needs to pay subsequent patent royalties, all companies that have obtained wireless optical communication patents are treated equally.
But not being able to buy out is equivalent to spending $100 million in cash to purchase the license to manufacture and manufacture, which makes people really unhappy.
Patent authorization is divided into various forms, the most common of which is the production and use right of the authorized patent, but the corresponding patent fee still needs to be paid in the future.
Of course, there is also a form of directly buying out the follow-up fees of the patent, but no matter which one, they are collectively referred to as patent licensing.
In the authorization transaction between Hantang Technology and WiFi Alliance, it is impossible for Hantang Technology to directly let them buy out the authorization of wireless optical communication technology patents.
In that case, it would be too stupid. Compared with the subsequent 20 years of leeks, Hantang Technology naturally chooses to continuously harvest leeks.
So at this time, the patent licensing agreement signed by Hantang Technology and the WiFi Alliance is a form in which Cisco has to pay 100 million US dollars for the patent license, and it still needs to pay the corresponding patent fee in the future.
"All these unlucky incidents are caused by Paul Olds. From then on, Cisco and Intel are sworn enemies!"
Speaking of Chambers here, he hated Intel's president, Paul Olds, and everything was done by that guy.
Now Chambers does not dare to resent Hantang Technology at all, because he has been scared by Hantang Technology.
Chambers has to admit that in the field of technology research and development, Cisco will never win against Hantang Technology, because their president Lin Xuan is not scientific!
So at this time, Cisco was completely overwhelmed by Hantang Technology, and they couldn't afford to continue fighting against Hantang Technology.
Because they are too miserable now, this painful lesson made Cisco deeply remember the consequences of the technological struggle between the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Because of their struggle with Hantang Technology, their market value has plummeted to such an extent that they may never be able to return to the top 10 in the future.
Not only can’t get back to the top 10 in terms of market capitalization, but it’s also difficult to maintain the top 30 market capitalization.
Because with Botong and Reading Company, they are the first to launch wireless optical communication facility products.
Cisco has been unable to launch its own wireless optical communication products for a long time, so Botong and Lucent can take advantage of this opportunity to aggressively seize the market.
In the end, the market value of Cisco will naturally plummet all the way, and what is waiting for Cisco at that time is not a good result.
Cisco, was miserable by Intel!
…
Time passed slowly.
At 10:00 am the next day, the Hantang Technology and WiFi Alliance held a press conference in the great hall of the Xia Ke Academy.
Reporters from all walks of life were naturally moved by the news and rushed to the scene of the press conference.
Hantang Technology and the WiFi Alliance held a press conference together, which made the eyes of countless reporters startled.
This is sure to be big enough to hit the headlines!
Just like that, the press conference was held as scheduled.
At this time, reporters from all walks of life stared at Lin Xuan at the press conference and the CEOs of many international giant companies.
"I'm very glad that you all came to this press conference. Next, I invite Mr. Lin Xuan to speak for us."
Following the words spoken by a young host, Lin Xuan slowly came to the center of the publishing platform.
"Mr. Lin, may I ask a question?"
Seeing Lin Xuan, a reporter immediately raised his hand and asked questions first.
"Speak."
Lin Xuan standing on the stage nodded slightly in agreement.
With Lin Xuan's permission, the reporter asked excitedly:
"Mr. Lin, it is said that you have reached a settlement with the WiFi Alliance, is this true?"
Hearing this, Lin Xuan and several other presidents of international companies looked at each other, then turned their heads and said with a smile:
"It's true."
"Kacha Kacha Kacha Kacha Kacha Kacha..."
Following Lin Xuan's news that Hantang Technology has indeed reached a settlement with the WiFi Alliance.
The reporters on the scene excitedly pressed the cameras in their hands, and countless lights flickered on the scene!
"Mr. Lin, can I ask a question?"
The reporter who asked the question just now seemed to be unreasonable, but he chased after the victory and asked Lin Xuan again, wanting to ask another question.
"Just ask."
Now Lin Xuan seems to be in a good mood, not angry, and allowed the reporter to ask another question.
"What are the details of the settlement agreement you reached, can you tell us?
In this mediation contract, is Hantang Technology losing or gaining? "
"Let's leave this matter to the core members of the WiFi Alliance."
Lin Xuan didn't answer the reporter's question directly, but smiled and handed the microphone to Cisco CEO Chambers.
Cisco's president, Chambers, looked even uglier when he saw this, because this time the two parties settled in the agreement.
Even a fool can see that the WiFi Alliance is the one that suffers, so this press conference is no less than admitting the failure of the WiFi Alliance.
At this time, Lin Xuan handed him the microphone. Doesn't this make him a laughing stock?
This is a shame!
At this time, Chambers looked a little ugly, but he dared not refuse the microphone raised by Lin Xuan.
Because Chambers has been gutted by Hantang Technology or Lin Xuan, and can no longer afford to compete with Hantang Technology.
Moreover, there is no real cooperation agreement between the two parties, and it is only an agreement of intent. In this case, he naturally cannot offend Hantang Technology.
"I am Chambers, the president of Cisco, we are a company and an important core member of the WiFi Alliance.
This time, our WiFi Alliance and Hantang Technology have reached a settlement agreement, and there are several detailed rules in the settlement agreement. "
Looking at Lin Xuan's half-smile eyes, Chambers took a deep breath, and then slowly said:
“The first detail of the agreement is that our WiFi Alliance has withdrawn the matter of suing Hantang Technology for infringing many WiFi patents.
In addition, we have also signed a contract to waive the right to pursue Hantang Technology’s previous infringement WIFI patent lawsuit! "
"Wow!"
Hearing the words of Chambers, the president of Cisco, there was an instant uproar at the scene.
People looked at each other with shock in their eyes.
What?
WiFi Alliance actually gave up suing Hantang Technology, and even signed an agreement on the right to continue to pursue the appeal after giving up?
Doesn't this mean that the WiFi Alliance has admitted their defeat and signed a humiliating agreement?
Is this a certain degree of victory for Hantang Technology?
On the other side, Cisco CEO Chambers looked at the reporters who were shocked in an uproar. He smiled wryly and then said:
"Except for giving up the pursuit of Hantang Technology's WIFI patent infringement lawsuit and the right to continue to pursue the lawsuit.
Our WiFi Alliance also bears all the expenses of Hantang Technology in the WIFI patent infringement lawsuit! "
