Seeing that the atmosphere in the entire conference room had eased, Harry Potter sighed and said, "Everyone, just now everyone was angry in their hearts. I also have my own little abacus, so I tricked everyone!"
"But I think everyone should have calmed down now, so I'll tell everyone what's in my heart. By then, everyone will understand my painstaking efforts!" Harry Potter said, "President Albert is right. If there was no Daqian, Qualcomm could indeed swallow the entire CDMA market. No company in the world could compete with Qualcomm in CDMA!"
"But have you ever thought about a problem? That is, if there was no Daqian and Huawei, the Hua Xia market would also be occupied by GSM. A month ago, I had been negotiating with the Daqian, so I know very well how much effort, effort, and money the Daqian spent to set up the CDMA market! "
Next, Harry Potter explained the process of how the Daqian conquered the market to everyone. Only then did everyone understand that the Hua Xia market did not appear out of thin air, but was painstakingly managed by the Daqian and Huawei.
Everyone was not stupid. If there was no Daqian and Huawei, Hua Xia would definitely not use CDMA, but GSM, which was now almost an international standard.
"In fact, we can also set up Hua Xia like the Daqian!" A director said unconvinced.
"Oh, to be honest, if you didn't know that Huawei was selling CDMA base stations in Hua Xia, who really paid attention to the Hua Xia market? Does Qualcomm have a branch in Hua Xia, even if it's only a regional manager? "Harry Potter asked, and everyone closed their mouths instantly.
Yes, they had never really cared about the Hua Xia market. In their minds, Hua Xia was a poor place similar to the Native American tribes. How could Hua Xia have mobile communications?
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Nokia this time, they would not have known that there was such a huge market in Hua Xia!
"If we don't know about the Hua Xia market, then it's impossible to operate the Hua Xia market. Not to mention that we are foreigners, and we don't understand the national conditions of Hua Xia at all. If there were no local companies like Daqian and Huawei, Hua Xia would never set up CDMA. "
"So we need to see the essence of the matter, that is, the Daqian and Huawei actually helped us open up the market. If Huawei and Daqian couldn't set up CDMA, we wouldn't have the Hua Xia market!"
"This is the reason why I was willing to sign with the Daqian!" Harry Potter sighed and said, "At that time, the Daqian clearly told me that if we couldn't get the patent authorization for CDMA, then the Daqian would never set up a CDMA base station in Hua Xia. The Daqian could only turn to the embrace of GSM. If that's the case, how could we still have the Hua Xia market?"
"Now, I have licensed the patent to the Daqian, and the Daqian has successfully opened up the Hua Xia market. At the same time, I and Daqian Huawei have written very clearly in the contract that Qualcomm can also sell in Hua Xia. Both sides can compete fairly. In this way, the Daqian is equivalent to helping Qualcomm open up the Hua Xia market. At that time, everyone will compete in the Hua Xia market. Are the business elites of the United States afraid of competing with a group of bumpkins?" Harry Potter's words caused a burst of laughter in the conference room, and everyone's mood improved a lot.
"In addition, the Daqian also gave us 300 million US dollars. Although it's not as big as the 2 billion US dollars we asked for, this number is actually not much of a loss. 300 million US dollars in Qualcomm is like rain after a long drought. In fact, Qualcomm's account has less than 5 million US dollars left. If it goes on like this, unless there is a new investment, Qualcomm may not even be able to operate! "
"I promise you here that among the 300 million US dollars, in addition to the funds given to you, the remaining 255 million US dollars will be invested in the daily operation and development of Qualcomm. In this way, Qualcomm won't have to worry about funds for at least two years. Isn't this borrowing the hands and funds of the enemy to revive us?" Harry Potter laughed.
Everyone couldn't help but nod. Yes, it's true!
"The last point, and also one that I have to agree to!" Harry Potter sighed again and then snapped his fingers. His secretary handed over a thick document to Harry Potter, and Harry Potter put the document in front of Albert.
"Mr. President, please take a look at this document!" Harry Potter said.
"Okay!" Albert opened the document with some doubts. After a few glances, his pupils suddenly widened, and then he quickly read the rest of the information. He read for more than 20 minutes before he put down the document with some disbelief. He looked at Harry Potter and said, "These technologies have been conquered by the Daqian?"
"Of course, the Daqian has applied for global patents for these technologies. How can it be fake?" Harry Potter said, "The Daqian didn't take away our technologies and patents for nothing. In fact, in recent years, the Daqian has also been studying CDMA technology. Although the results are not as many as ours, they have many important achievements. There are a total of 67 CDMA patents!"
"I don't know much about these technologies and patents. What do you think of these technologies and patents, President Albert?" Harry Potter asked.
"Ah, I didn't expect the Hua Xia people to have such scientific research ability!" Albert still had a look of disbelief on his face. He looked at the catalog of these patents again and finally sighed. "Among these 67 patents, there are more than a dozen that are very important and directly block our further research. As for the remaining dozens of patents, they are also very important and involve various aspects of technology. If they are blocked, we will need to spend a lot of money to bypass them."
"Let's put it this way. The most important dozen patents will block our further progress in CDMA technology because if we want to continue to develop CDMA technology, we must obtain the authorization of these patents. Otherwise, we can't move forward at all!"
"As for the remaining patents, although there are ways to bypass them, it requires a lot of money. It's like a boulder blocking the road. It's very uncomfortable!" Albert shook his head.
"According to our agreement, the Daqian will also license these 67 patents to Qualcomm for free. We don't need to be restricted and troubled by these patents now. We can continue to charge toward CDMA technology. I also reached a follow-up licensing agreement with the Daqian. In the future, all the technology patents developed by both parties will be licensed to each other first. However, each licensing will have to charge different licensing fees according to the value of the patent technology. Therefore, please hurry up and work hard to develop and obtain more CDMA technology patents and completely overpower the Daqian. Otherwise, people will laugh at Qualcomm for being inferior to a Hua Xia company!" Harry Potter said.
"Yes!" Everyone nodded. At the same time, there was a surge of unwillingness to admit defeat. They secretly vowed to work hard and seize the time to do scientific research and completely beat those damn Hua Xia people.
"I really don't understand. Are these Hua Xia people or ghosts? How did they quietly develop these CMDA technologies that even we haven't developed? Do Hua Xia people have such a terrible scientific research ability? Are the Hua Xia people not as stupid as the Indians, but as smart as us white people? "Albert said in disbelief.
"Sigh, in fact, I have experienced this for a long time!" Another scientist shareholder present said, "You all know that I'm actually a professor at Yale University. Among the students I teach, the ones with the best grades and the most hardworking are always those students of Hua Xia or simply students from Hua Xia. Their IQ is no less than ours, and they far surpass us in terms of hard work and diligence. If all the Hua Xia people in the world can enjoy the same education as us in the United States, I'm afraid that in less than 100 years, Hua Xia will become the biggest opponent of the United States!"
"Well, let's not talk about these digressions!" Harry Potter said, "Now, do you still think that I've done a stupid thing by licensing Qualcomm's patent?"
…
The whole conference room was silent for a moment. Then Albert stood up and said, "Mr. Harry Potter is really doing his best for the development of Qualcomm. These decisions are also wise decisions. There is no mistake. We were wrong. We shouldn't have lost our temper like this without knowing the truth!"
"Yes!"
"We were too reckless!"
Everyone said. A smile appeared on Harry Potter's face. He stood up and said, "Thank you, Mr. President, for your fair evaluation. In fact, I did something I shouldn't have done today. But I have no choice. I'm just an agent of the foundation. The shareholders of the foundation asked me to completely take control of Qualcomm. I had no choice but to take away the shares in your hands."
"However, I still have some personal rights. I can turn the shares I just bought from you into dividend shares and give them to you. In the future, as long as you stay in Qualcomm and continue to contribute to the development of Qualcomm, the dividend rights of the shares will remain the same. At the same time, you will still have the right to speak and the position of a director on the board of directors. This dividend rights can even be passed on to your descendants for up to 50 years."
"However, once you leave Qualcomm, these dividend shares will be gone. I don't know if you can forgive me with such a decision, continue to stay in Qualcomm, work together, and work hard for the future development of Qualcomm together?"
They saw that the shares bought by Harry Potter just now had been returned. Although they only had the dividend rights, it was enough for them. After all, their shares were originally used for dividends. Other than that, they did not think of other ways to use these shares.
Therefore, after hearing Harry Potter's words, everyone showed a satisfied smile and then unanimously expressed their willingness to stay in Qualcomm and continue to develop new CDMA technology!
