Lin Xiao is reborn in 2001, that youthful and wild era.
Facing his ex-wife, his white moonlight: You tormented me in the past life, this life I'll make you call me daddy.
Facing Xia...
Chapter 301 The dust has settled!
Almost all major media outlets around the world have been reporting extensively on the outcome of this lawsuit.
At this point, the entire plagiarism scandal has come to an end.
Both Master Ergou and Quantum Technology have submitted a nearly perfect answer.
Because for countless supporters, all they require is that quantum technology can provide a reasonable answer that can slightly convince the world.
The result... not only completely proved the innocence of the X operating system, but also branded the Android system as a plagiarist.
After this incident, almost everyone was convinced that the X operating system was the legitimate one.
And the result is...
Quantum phone sales have once again skyrocketed around the world.
This kind of advertising cannot be achieved even if you spend hundreds of millions of dollars, or even billions of dollars.
The most amazing brand building in the world is actually to step on giants to get to the top.
But this thing really requires the right time, place and people.
In the next few days, many media outlets continued to dig deeper.
The accompanying result is that Google's stock price continues to fall.
Immediately afterwards, Quantum Technology also filed a lawsuit against Google Android.
It also sued Android for plagiarism, infringement and other crimes, and asked the federal court to ban the sale of phones running the Android system.
In fact, from the perspective of public opinion, you should stop while you are ahead, because you have already won. If you continue to persist and fight to the death, it may arouse the disgust of many people.
People all over the world are the same. They dislike the strong and sympathize with the weak.
Therefore, even a strong person cannot be aggressive.
Of course, we need to analyze specific issues specifically. From the perspective of the national political system, the people are of course eager to see a strong government, let’s not talk about that.
However, after a meeting, the Lightning, Facebook, and Quantum factions unanimously decided to file a lawsuit.
In terms of public opinion, it may be time to quit while the going is good.
But on the battlefield, you must never do this. As the teacher said, it is better to use the remaining courage to pursue the enemy rather than to seek fame by imitating the tyrant.
Besides, Google is not a poor enemy. It is still much more powerful than the Facebook, Lightning, Quantum and Dream systems combined.
At least in the operating system, this is a life-and-death struggle, and you must never learn from Duke Xiang of Song.
………………
Taking advantage of the momentum of victory in the lawsuit, Lin Xiao once again visited Samsung and once again visited Lee Kun-hee.
"Mr. Lin, you are truly impressive. What's even more incredible is that you are not even thirty years old."
"There is an old Chinese saying that heroes emerge from youth, and it is true."
"I heard that Lightning Entertainment and Lee Mi-kyung's CJ Entertainment have collaborated on more than ten projects in the past few years, and the total amount of cooperation between the two parties has reached hundreds of millions of dollars?"
Lin Xiao: "Yes, both of us have gained huge benefits from this cooperation."
"I have great respect for Ms. Lee Mi-kyung. She is not only open-minded, but also has always upheld certain characteristics that belong to your nation."
After "The Last Days", the cooperation between Lightning Entertainment and CJ Entertainment has never stopped. Not only the film projects of Dream Vision, but also Sony Columbia's film projects in South Korea were handed over to CJ for distribution.
Moreover, Lightning Entertainment also invests in Korean films produced by CJ Entertainment.
"The Heist", "New World" and so on.
Moreover, the cooperation between Fantasy Vision and CJ Entertainment on TV dramas has not stopped, and there are several projects to be launched one after another.
Although Lee Mi-kyung and Lee Kun-hee do not get along, they are both members of the Lee family after all.
Lin Xiao's group and Li Meijing have been cooperating for more than five years, and their relationship has become increasingly close, with a win-win situation.
Originally, the biggest ally of Lee Mi-kyung’s CJ Entertainment was DreamWorks, but now it has become Fantasy Vision and Lightning Entertainment.
Even two years ago, CJ Entertainment established an Internet company dedicated to publishing the online game "Zhu Xian".
You Lin Xiao: "President Li, since I started my business, almost every partner has become a very good friend, and every partner has gained huge benefits in the long-term cooperation."
"I've never even betrayed an ally."
"Even with Yingke, we maintain a fairly friendly relationship."
Lin Xiao and Yingke have been enemies for a long time. But after Yingke purchased the mobile SP business of Lightning Entertainment, the relationship between the two sides eased somewhat, although it was still relatively cold.
But from beginning to end, Lin Xiao and Yingke's several cooperative transactions did not cause any losses to the other party.
Moreover, the long-term cooperation between Lin Xiao and Li Meijing also proves that Lin Xiao is completely capable of abandoning the so-called nationalist sentiments and forming a long-term alliance with his allies.
"Mr. Lin, you said you wanted to separate XSOFT from quantum technology and let Samsung invest in it, right?" Lee Kun-hee asked.
Lin Xiao: "Yes, President Li."
Lee Kun-hee: "How many shares are you willing to give up?"
Lin Xiao: "If it's for Samsung, I'm willing to sell one-sixth of XSOFT's shares, which is 16%."
Li Jianxi was silent for a while, then said, "At least 30%!"
"Mr. Lin Xiao, 16% is really too little."
Lin Xiao: "Chairman Li, the shares we promised to give to Sony are far less than 16%."
Lee Kun-hee: "Because there is disunity within Sony, at least Sony Ericsson is not completely on your side. Samsung Electronics has surpassed Sony Electronics in all aspects, especially in semiconductors and screens."
You have indeed surpassed Sony in semiconductors, but in terms of screens, you have not yet surpassed Sony.
However, Sony’s current strategic focus is no longer on the physical world.
"Mr. Lin, you should know that once someone of my level opens his mouth, it is not easy and difficult to be refuted."
"Although you won this lawsuit, the war between you and Google has only just begun. Google is still many times more powerful than you."
In fact, Lin Xiao really wanted to ask, why don’t you, Samsung, ask for a stake in Android?
Why don't you negotiate with Google for a stake?
It is because my Lightning Technology is relatively weak that I am willing to sell my shares and make friends.
……………………
After leaving Samsung, Lin Xiao went directly to LG and met its third president, Gu Bonmoo.
"President Lin, nice to meet you!"
"We meet again. Every time we meet over the years, you have left a deep impression on me."
"The quantum phone, in particular, is really amazing."
Lin Xiao: "Compared to you, I am just a junior. My achievements are just learning from the past of you seniors."
After a brief polite greeting between the two sides.
Gu Bonmoo: "Chairman Lin, although you won the first lawsuit, we cannot go back on our promises."
Lin Xiao: "I didn't ask LG to go back on his word. I just wanted to make a small request."
Gu Bonmoo: “Please speak.”
Lin Xiao: "Your company will produce smartphones next year. I hope to release two versions. In addition to the Android version, there will be an X operating system version. This will allow global consumers to make comparisons and choices, and your company will be able to obtain the most intuitive feedback."
This may sound a bit ridiculous, but it is perfectly normal in this era.
Android doesn't dominate the market now. LG's mobile phones are also equipped with Microsoft's operating system.
The Windows Mobile system has been very popular in recent years.
Of course, everyone has seen this year that the system's popularity is gradually being weakened.
Because whether it is IOS, Android, or X operating system, they all show more advanced and complex features than Windows Mobile.
Gu Bonmoo: “That’s a very creative suggestion.”
"However, we also have some small requests here."
Lin Xiao: “Please speak.”
Gu Bonmoo: "First, at least 40% of the screens for quantum mobile phones will be purchased from LG in the next three years."
"Secondly, I heard that Mr. Lin Xiao wants to separate Xsoft from Quantum Technology and accept investment from mobile phone manufacturers."
Lin Xiao: “That’s true.”
Koo Bon-moo: "LG is very willing to invest in Xsoft. We hope to obtain about 20% of the shares."
……………………
Next, Lin Xiao went to Motorola.
Then, it was faced with even more stringent conditions than those of Samsung and LG.
At this time, Motorola was at its peak, with annual shipments exceeding 100 million units, even though the wave of intelligence had already arrived.
But in their view, as long as it is a mobile phone, it is still the same.
Nokia and Motorola are still the kings of mobile phone brands. Although the IPHONE and Quantum phones are hyped in full swing, their shipments are only a few million units, which is a world of difference compared to Motorola and Nokia.
Motorola said it could consider producing mobile phones equipped with the X operating system, but Motorola would have to acquire approximately 40% of XSOFT's shares.
Alternatively, Quantum Technology can pay Motorola a platform fee.
For each phone with X operating system, pay $20.
Lin Xiao was almost stunned when he heard this condition. We don't charge you, but you charge us? But? This reminded Lin Xiao of the past, when some apps paid money to mobile phone brands in order to be pre-installed on mobile phones.
But Lin Xiao understood that there was only one reason why Motorola made such a ridiculous request.
This is not only a contempt of the giant, but more to prove the close relationship between Motorola and Google.
Do you think that by winning a lawsuit you win Android?
You can negotiate with Motorola in a group? You are too naive.
Google is the world's number one Internet company, where do you rank?
……………………
Finally, Lin Xiao returned to China and, with the help of a certain leader, negotiated with a domestic giant.
The other party said that they could consider producing mobile phones with the X operating system and were very willing to invest in Xsoft, hoping to obtain a 20% stake.
Lin Xiao refused.
The other party asked a soul-searching question: Why are you willing to give Samsung so many shares? Why are you not willing to give me? We are all Chinese brands. Moreover, we were the first to develop a smart mobile phone operating system and we were the first initiator of the mobile phone technology alliance.
We were the first to go global, and we are still the leading PC manufacturing giant.
But Lin Xiao did not ask a soul-searching question.
They are all Chinese manufacturers, why don't you use X operating system instead of Google Android?
Therefore, the negotiations between the two sides ended in a bad mood.
However, the leadership was not satisfied.
Let the other party negotiate with Lin Xiao again.
Then, the other party showed some concessions.
"We are all Chinese, all Chinese manufacturers. Under the care of our leaders, we must also take care of our sister companies."
"So we agreed to produce some X-OS phones, but ... only sell them in the country."
At this time, Lin Xiao should agree.
After all, we will meet each other every day, and we have to give face to our leaders.
"Thank you, no need to force it."
The other party was stunned. Why are you so disrespectful? ……………………
"Xiao Xiao, there is no such thing as a permanent solution in this world, and it is far from the time to achieve success in one battle."
“It’s all quantitative changes that lead to qualitative changes.”
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"You are actually not suitable for doing business at all. You are loyal and not fickle. Moreover, you like to show your cards at the beginning of the negotiation, and the cards are directly the bottom line."
“But the good thing is that once the other party accepts your bottom line, the cooperation with you will last a long time and they will respect your character very much.”
"But when a strange businessman meets someone like you, he always thinks you need something from him, so he wants to take advantage of you."
Li Shuang still looked at him lovingly, and as she spoke, she kissed him directly.
Then, she fulfilled the promise she had made.
I'm going to sit on you to death.
The next morning, Lin Xiao was still lying on Li Shuang's bed, sleeping soundly.
Li Shuang was naked, twisting her plump, round buttocks as she washed up in the bathroom and then put on makeup carefully.
The door was opened directly, and Xia Xi walked in as if no one was around.
She first glanced at Li Shuang in the bathroom, stared at her big butt, and cursed casually.
"Slut!"
Then, he turned to Lin Xiao and said, "What time is it? Are you still sleeping?"
"What's wrong? You won the lawsuit, but didn't get any results? After traveling around the world, you were still coldly treated by those giants. Or maybe it's because you were so wounded that they didn't change their attitude at all?"
Lin Xiao: "How can you say there are no results? Many media, many public opinions, and many people are on our side, but it will take time for this support to be fully transformed into combat effectiveness."
Xia Xi: "Just build the ecosystem honestly. It's not a good deal to rush in. As long as you build a strong ecosystem and a strong moat, then these mobile phone giants will come to you for help."
Lin Xiao: "That's right, I will lead these scattered soldiers in the country to fight a tough battle first."
"In the coming period, we will work hard to build a strong ecosystem so that users cannot leave."
"On the other hand, we also need to support a sales miracle to reduce the sales of Android phones produced by those giants."
Historically, whether it is Samsung, LG, or Motorola’s first Android phone, the sales have actually been average.
So who should be supported to achieve this sales miracle?
Meizu?
No, because although it stands firmly on the side of X operating system, it is also one of the first mobile phone manufacturers to produce it.
However, due to the personality of the founder, the company still has to take the small and beautiful route.
ZTE?
It is also difficult because this is a state-owned enterprise and the negotiation pace may be slow, making it difficult to fully comply with Quantum Technology's arrangements.
The same is true for Huawei. It is now a giant and has its own strategic direction.
So after choosing and choosing, Coolpad turned out to be the most suitable one.
Quantum technology leads this collaboration to create an extremely cost-effective mobile phone.
The world's top mobile phone SOC, Sharp customized 480P screen (of course, the quality is not as good as the quantum phone, but at least the resolution is improved), Sony's upper-middle-range CMOS.
The first generation of Android phones from Motorola, LG, Samsung, and Lianxiang are all extremely expensive.
For example, Lenovo's O1 has an issue price of 5999.
The Coolpad mobile phone, which is dominated by quantum technology, has its price directly reduced to 1999.
The configuration on the surface goes straight to the top.
Of course, don't expect too much from the workmanship, as long as it's acceptable.
The goal is to directly increase sales and instantly destroy the sales of the first-generation Android phones of you giants.
I want everyone to see clearly that my little brother, supported by Quantum Technology, can surpass you giants in sales.
This will make many people reflect that the reason for such a huge sales gap, apart from the price issue, is most likely because the Android system is not good enough.
Moreover, it also allows a large number of users to enjoy the happiness of real smart phones at a low cost.
That’s it! We have two paths to take. One path is to continue to expand the ecosystem, increase the moat, and make users inseparable.
The second way is to support mid- and low-end mobile phones and crush those giants who have switched to Android in terms of price.
…………………………
Now that this strategy has been decided, let’s temporarily give up our expectations on these giants.
Especially Samsung, it can't cut its own flesh to gain cooperation from others.
Then just fight to the end.
Next, Lin Xiao flew directly to Japan and started negotiations with Sharp.
Direct acquisition is difficult.
However, this is not the first time the two sides have dealt with each other. They are already close allies, and the other party has a full understanding and respect for Lin Xiao.
If a complete acquisition cannot be negotiated for the time being, then put it on hold.
Lin Xiao insisted on shifting Sharp's focus to the research and development and production of AMOLED screens, which was also difficult.
Even as allies, it is difficult to change the other party's strategic direction.
But there should be no problem for both parties to establish a joint venture that focuses entirely on the research and development and production of advanced amoled screens.
Quantum Technology contributed the majority of the capital, about 75%, and also provided land and factory buildings, while Sharp provided technology and contributed about 25%.
In the joint venture, Quantum Technology holds a 55% stake and Sharp holds a 45% stake.
Of course, this is just a preliminary idea, and the relevant conditions are changing dynamically, but in this joint venture, Quantum Technology must hold the controlling stake.
The specific investment amount is difficult to figure out at once.
But there is no doubt that it is an astronomical figure.
Therefore, this negotiation will probably be a very long process.
In fact, BOE is also growing rapidly now, but it is still far from meeting Lin Xiao’s needs.
The screen is the most important part of a mobile phone. We can’t just sit and watch Samsung continue to grow and eventually strangle quantum technology.
It would be a tragedy if in the future Samsung's first-rate screens are supplied to Samsung phones and then to Apple, and the second-rate screens are given to quantum technology.
Although the situation on LG's side is better, it is still uncontrollable and still depends on other people's moods.
Sharp currently has a technological advantage, but its condition is not very good and is getting worse, making it the best partner.
If you don’t want to be strangled by others in a few years, you must start planning now and invest astronomical amounts of money.
Keep investing, investing, investing.
Then, after a few years, it will bear fruit.
……………………
Just when Lin Xiao was negotiating in Japan, he suddenly received a call.
Grandpa is in the hospital! Lin Xiao quickly flew back to China, and after getting off the plane, he went directly to Renji Hospital.
"Mr. Lin, everything is fine now."
"The situation was quite critical at the time. Fortunately, the patient was delivered very quickly and the team from Linshan County also responded promptly."
"Venous thrombosis is a very sudden and dangerous disease, but once it is cured, there will be no major problems in the future. Mr. Lin does not need to worry too much."
"Besides, because the treatment was very timely, it had little impact on the body's functions and the quality of life in the future."
"We also took the opportunity to give the old man a comprehensive check-up. He has a very good foundation. Although he is old, he is in good spirits and has a cheerful personality. He has a typical longevity gene."
At this time, in the ward, Grandpa looked very weak, even dying, as if it was different from what the doctor said.
Xiao Wanli and Li Fangfang were sitting on the edge of the bed, and Xiao Wanli was even squatting on the ground, because he was a junior in front of Grandpa Lin Xiao.
in addition……
Grandpa Lin Xiao is also the most proactive in the construction of the nursing home. Sometimes, troublesome matters that are difficult for the Bubble Foundation to handle are particularly easy to handle with Grandpa leading a group of elderly people.
Everything goes well.
So in the past few years, Xiao Wanli has dealt with Lin Huaili a lot, but he has dealt with Grandpa Lin Xiao the most, and has been influenced a lot by him.
For example, Grandpa Lin Xiao’s extraordinary optimism and initiative.
"Wanli, Fangfang!" Grandpa said as he was dying, "I have lived to a ripe old age. Even if I die tomorrow, I will have no regrets."
"There is only one thing that I can't let go of."
Xiao Wanli said: "Uncle, you say."
Grandpa said in a trembling voice: "That's the marriage of Paopao and Xiaoxiao."
"Alas, it's all our Xiaoxiao's fault. Paopao is such a good girl, but he is willing to bully her."
"I scolded you countless times, so when you returned the betrothal gifts a few years ago, we couldn't blame you at all."
"No matter how wrong it is, it's all our family's fault."
"But, things can't go on like this without any clear reason. If you are willing, our family will have to give Paopao an explanation!"
"In a couple of days, I'll ask Huai Li and a few brothers to go to your house to deliver the betrothal gifts, okay?"
Xiao Wanli and Li Fangfang nodded desperately: "Okay, okay, okay."
"Send the betrothal gifts immediately, hold the wedding quickly, and then kowtow to you."
"We all want to see you live to be a hundred years old."
