The consumers are worried, and the entrepreneurs are even more worried. They want to communicate with the US companies, but there is little effect.
As the US companies, they are willing to charge higher intellectual property fees. They are overjoyed to get the support from the US government!
One of the most important companies is Qualcomm. Other than Hongxin mobile phones, more than half of China's smart products are equipped with Qualcomm chips. It is not only limited to mobile phones. Other smart products like PC, UAV, smart home appliances, and cars also have Qualcomm chips.
A few years ago, Qualcomm's intellectual property fees were much higher, but the Chinese government interfered and lowered the fees. Now, it seems that they are going to increase the fees again!
Suddenly, Qualcomm's share prices shot up!
US, California, San Diego City. This is the 8th largest city in the US. It is a developed Pacific coastal city, and the headquarters of Qualcomm is located here.
In the headquarters building, Tyler Walker is drinking coffee and lying on the sofa. Sitting opposite him are a few top executives of Qualcomm.
"Did you see that? All we need is a small rumor, and we can turn the situation around. Our share prices will continue to rise! "Tyler Walker laughed.
Although he had resigned from the Federal Communications Commission, he is still one of the shareholders of Qualcomm.
"This is only a short-term fluctuation. What we want is accurate information!" The top executive opposite him said. "As long as we increase our intellectual property fees in the Chinese market, our annual profits will increase by more than 1 billion USD!"
"My friend in the Commerce Department had told me that the White House will continue to increase trade pressure with China. We will make profits!"
Taylor Walker revealed a complacent look in his eyes. How could it be so easy to defeat a big capitalist? Their dealings were intricate and complicated. Hongxin still wants to influence the US telecommunications industry? Dream on!
At the same time, in China's Hongxin Electronics research center, Lu Zixin is looking at the latest research results.
"This is a 6G network smart chip developed based on 6G communication technology!" The researcher introduced. "In terms of performance, the biggest difference between this chip and the previous Red Core chips is that this chip can be used in 6G network, and it will be more efficient to run and process data."
"It can be said that products with the Red Core 6G network smart chip will have a higher performance. With the 6G network, the AI services will be more convenient! "
For a 6G network, the performance improvements in other aspects were trivial. The most convenient one was the artificial intelligence system. With such a chip and network, the AI voice could become more human-like, and the collection and processing of information could be improved again.
"When the 6G network in the country is fully set up, our smart products will also be able to use the latest 6G network smart chip, and it will be exclusive to the country!" The researcher said excitedly.
"Within the country?" Lu Zixin smiled and shook his head. "This is exclusive to the world! If we don't operate it properly, we'll be letting down our Sky Net plan! "
…
At night, at home. Lu Zixin sat on the sofa and watched the TV. The news anchor was reporting on the differences between China and the United States over the issue of intellectual property rights.
"Today, a spokesperson from the US White House said that the US insists on increasing intellectual property fees and is preparing to file a complaint against China at the International Trade Organization."
"If we really raise the fees, a quarter of the mobile phone market alone will starve to death!" Su Zhirong commented as she walked over with the freshly washed grapes.
She was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with nothing underneath, and her figure could be seen clearly. She was wearing a pair of loose shorts, and her two jade-like legs stepped directly onto the sofa. They were stacked together like tender tofu.
"Here." Su Zhirong fed Lu Zixin a grape with her slender fingers.
"I think they're overthinking!" Lu Zixin said as he ate. "I want them to not only not dare to raise the fees, I want them to lower the fees!"
Su Zhirong looked at him curiously and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Lu Zixin smiled mysteriously and said, "Make a guess."
"Are you going to develop the Hongxin mobile phone system?" Su Zhirong guessed. "If the Hongxin mobile phone system is released, many domestic manufacturers will use the Hongxin system. This will be a huge blow to the US operating system and software!"
"That's also under consideration, but it's not just that." Lu Zixin said.
Su Zhirong tilted her head and thought for a while. She made a few more guesses, but Lu Zixin shook his head.
"You're so annoying. What is it?" Su Zhirong acted shamelessly and snatched the grapes back from Lu Zixin's mouth.
"Chip, 6G network smart chip!" Lu Zixin laughed. "If you don't use the chips from Qualcomm or other companies, you can still use our Red Core chip!"
"Chip?" Su Zhirong's eyes lit up. "The latest chip has been developed? That's great! Now we're in full control of the situation! "
She thought of something and immediately took a laptop out of the room and started working.
"It's after work now. No overtime!" Lu Zixin closed the laptop.
"Just a little. I'll adjust my work tomorrow!" Su Zhirong wanted to take back the laptop.
"No! There are more things to do. We still have better things to do. "Lu Zixin looked at her provocatively.
"But …" Su Zhirong was a little hesitant and looked at him pitifully. "Didn't we just … Isn't your physical fitness a little too good?!"
"That's why I want to help you train!"
… …
The IP fee issue was still heating up. The US Trade Representative Office's spokesperson requested China to abide by the WTO's Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights.
China's enterprises felt the crisis. In the smartphone industry, some big entrepreneurs were preparing to meet for a discussion to see if they could come up with countermeasures to deal with this crisis.
The location of the discussion was Shenzhen City, and they had invited all the powerful brands and suppliers. Almost all the top ten Chinese mobile phone companies were present.
They soon encountered a problem. Should they invite Hongxin? It could be said that Hongxin Group was the least affected by this incident.
But in the mobile phone industry, Hongxin was already one of the biggest companies in China. Without Hongxin's participation, this discussion was not complete.
"Why should we invite them?" Someone expressed his opinion. "The current situation is too advantageous for Hongxin. Our costs have increased, and Hongxin can further compete for the market. It's useless to invite them."
"I think it's necessary." Tian Xiangshan said, "In the field of core technologies, Hongxin Group is the company that we have the most control over. If they can cooperate with us, the positive impact will be huge. "
"Will they?"
