"Let's talk about the exterior first. Damn, Nokia is copying Super Pear. How embarrassing. If it wasn't for the fact that it was Nokia, I would have thought it was Super Pear. But Nokia isn't as good as Pear. The workmanship isn't as exquisite and the phone looks cheap. The most shameful thing is that he is selling it for 5,999 yuan. "
"If you ask me, I would consider selling Nokia 1 for 5999,3999 yuan. According to sources, Nokia 1's profit is more than 3,000 yuan. That means that Nokia might lower its price. "
"Those who want to buy Nokia 1, please be careful. 4,999 yuan is not the lowest price. If you buy it, you will find out in a few days that you will be taken advantage of. "
The old households who had their leeks cut off were incomparably furious.
And their anger had all turned into real ratings.
The Nokia 1, which had good reviews, was called the trashiest phone in history.
Some of the more talented ones even posted videos on Huanyu Video.
Their impression of the Nokia 1 changed.
As for the Nokia 1, take a look, take a look.
Nokia 1, I owe you. Don't buy it.
Those who buy Nokia 1 are trashy.
Only low-level people will buy Nokia 1. If you really want to buy it, you should buy Super Pear.
"Damn, looks like Nokia 1 is not a good buy."
"Well, none of the regular users have good reviews. Damn, let's just buy Super Pear."
"Don't buy it. Nokia 1 failed to show off …"
Users' reputation had a huge impact on sales.
Although the regular users were complaining about Nokia 1, it was not to the extent that they could not sell one.
However, while a group of old users were crazily complaining and giving bad reviews, the Nokia 1 made a group of consumers forget and stop.
In fact, they could see that Nokia 1 was inferior to Pear in all aspects.
Whether it was the workmanship, the system, or the ecology, the Nokia 1 was far inferior to the Super Pear.
Previously, he could still consider it because of the Nokia brand. Now, there was no need to consider it at all.
"Mr. Su Li, Huanyu Technologies is using the media to suppress our Nokia 1."
"I know."
"Are we going to maintain the price of Nokia 1?"
"No."
Su Li shook his head.
Nokia's CEO, Suri, was not shaken by the negative reviews from the media and the old users.
He saw it clearly.
In this process, Huanyu Technologies had been using their price reduction to hype things up.
This also made Su Li sigh at the benefits of controlling the media platform.
Even so, Su Li did not want to change his price reduction measures.
Even if he knew that the market had been giving bad reviews, as long as they continued to reduce prices, consumers would definitely accept it.
Since no one bought it for 4,999 yuan, he bought it for 3,999 yuan.
He did not believe that he could not push the Nokia 1 out.
It had to be said that Su Li had incomparable courage.
While the media and the old users were constantly scolding Nokia, Nokia actually reduced its price again.
"This guy does have some skills."
Chen Yu, who was staring at Nokia's actions, nodded to himself.
No matter how the market complained, no matter how bad the media's reviews were, it was all fake.
As long as the price was reduced to a certain level, consumers would naturally be tempted.
As such, Chen Yu's previous strategy of using the media and the old users' negative reviews was not very effective against Nokia 1.
However, Nokia had Nokia's courage, and Chen Yu also had Chen Yu's way of playing.
Nokia could reduce its price.
But Huanyu Technologies could also use other methods to destroy it.
"Brother Jian, inform the legal department to sue Nokia."
Yes.
There were too many patents in the smartphone industry.
Not to mention the first smartphone to be developed like the Super Pear.
When Huanyu Technologies was developing the Super Pear, they had already applied for numerous patents around the world.
However, Huanyu Technologies did not use these patents to attack other companies. If one did not specifically check, one would not even know which patents Huanyu Technologies had applied for.
This was not because Chen Yu was generous. It was just not the right time.
It was very important to choose the right time and the right way to deal a fatal blow to the opponent.
The previous negative reviews were just Huanyu Technologies' attack.
At this moment, Huanyu Technologies' patent attack came.
[Huanyu Technologies officially sues Nokia.]
[Nokia 1 infringes the Super Pear design patent.]
This kind of lawsuit could not only be used as a direct attack, but it could also be used by the media to create hype.
And this method was even better than the previous ones.
It did not matter how the Nokia 1 was accused of plagiarism.
Because if you did not sue, no one would think that it was plagiarism.
If you accused them of plagiarism, Nokia could still sue you for defamation.
Now that they were officially suing, the user's impression of Nokia being accused of plagiarism was confirmed.
For example, the design patent.
Almost everyone who saw the Nokia 1 thought that it was very similar to the Super Pear.
Therefore, it was normal for Huanyu Technologies to sue Nokia.
"Hahaha, I thought Huanyu Technologies was stupid. They didn't sue Nokia."
"You're the stupid one. Huanyu Technologies can make such a huge phone. Do you think they don't have a trump card?"
"Exactly. I like this news. It's so cool to see Huanyu Technologies suing Nokia. "
Although it was just a patent lawsuit, the moment this lawsuit was released, it instantly went out of the industry and attracted the attention of people all over the world.
One of the reasons for this was that both Nokia and Huanyu Technologies were the top IT companies in the world. A formal battle between the two companies was not only eye-catching, but it was also very influential.
Secondly, Nokia was a veteran European and American mobile phone manufacturer. They had been suing others using patents for decades. For example, the mobile phone companies in China had been sued by Nokia many times. Unexpectedly, the tables had turned. This time, Nokia was the defendant.
Thirdly, this patent was not comparable to other technical patents. People were not interested in other technical patents because technical patents were too complicated. For example, communication patents, people could not understand them. Even if they won the lawsuit, people would not have any opinions about it. But this time, the patent was a design patent. Users could still understand what the design looked like.
Fourthly, all the users agreed that Nokia would lose this lawsuit. Although the lawsuit had not started, it should not be announced so soon. But the eyes of the public were sharp. Everyone could still tell if the patent was copied or not and how much was copied. Although it could not be said that the Nokia 1 and the Super Pear looked exactly the same, 80% of them were similar. This was still a disgusting thing.
"Boss Chen, Nokia contacted us."
"Oh, what did they say?"
"They want to settle with us."
"They want to settle before the lawsuit even started?"
Chen Yu was a little puzzled.
In fact, almost any large IT company in the world had encountered a lawsuit like this.
If a lawsuit like this was scary, then he was not scary.
Moreover, for a multinational patent lawsuit like this, it was normal for the lawsuit to take a few years.
Many times, the lawsuit lasted for a few years, but the product would still be sold.
Chen Yu had thought of Nokia's strategy to deal with this, which was to drag it out with him.
But he did not expect Nokia to want to settle with Huanyu Technologies at the first opportunity.
But on second thought, Chen Yu felt that it was normal.
Although the lawsuit could be dragged out, this kind of patent infringement lawsuit had a huge negative impact on the company.
Especially for a design patent lawsuit like this, ordinary people would understand at a glance.
The longer this lawsuit dragged on, the more people would think that Nokia copied the Super Pear.
Rather than this, it was better to settle this lawsuit as soon as possible.
As long as this lawsuit was settled, the profits that Nokia 1 would bring in in the future would definitely exceed the settlement funds.
Moreover, the Nokia 1 was Nokia's first smartphone. They would not allow their first smartphone to fail.
"Nokia's CEO, Su Li, will be coming to us next week."
"In that case, let's meet this Su Li."
Chen Yu was not in a hurry. He also wanted to meet the Nokia's CEO.
…
"Welcome Su Li to Huanyu Technologies."
"Thank you, Boss Chen. I've always been looking forward to working at Huanyu Technologies. I even thought that if Huanyu Technologies needs me, I can work at Huanyu Technologies."
"That's great. Huanyu Technologies does need a professional manager like Mr. Su Li."
After meeting Su Li, Chen Yu warmly welcomed him.
Although the two parties were competing, Chen Yu would still treat him as he should.
Moreover, one would not slap a smiling face. Nokia's CEO, Su Li, came with sincerity. Chen Yu also wanted to hear what Su Li had to say.
He took Su Li on a grand tour of Huanyu Technologies.
Then, they came to the conference room. Both parties took their seats. It was obvious that they were preparing for a settlement negotiation.
"Boss Chen, I'm sure your company knows the purpose of our visit. Nokia came with sincerity. I hope to reach a settlement with your company in the design aspect. "
"Does settlement mean that your Nokia 1 will be taken off the shelves?"
"Boss Chen, you must be joking. Even if there is a real lawsuit, our Nokia 1 will not be taken off the shelves."
"That's not necessarily true. Let's try it out."
Chen Yu said with a smile.
Time was on Chen Yu's side. Chen Yu was not polite to Nokia.
"Boss Chen, let's get straight to the point. You know that we don't want to fight this lawsuit. However, a lawsuit like this may not be beneficial to you. Even if the lawsuit is really fought, we will only have to pay some money at most. Rather than that, it's better for us to compensate Huanyu Technologies for our losses. "
"It seems that Mr. Su Li is very sincere. Dare I ask Mr. Su Li, how much does Nokia plan to compensate Huanyu Technologies?"
"100 million RMB."
Su Li raised one finger and said directly, "Boss Chen, we are very sincere."
"100 million RMB?"
Chen Yu spread his hands and said, "Mr. Su Li, do you think that Huanyu Technologies is short of 100 million RMB?"
"Boss Chen, how much do you think is appropriate?"
"100 million USD, but in USD."
Chen Yu also raised one finger.
"100 million USD? That's impossible. Boss Chen, that's too much."
Su Li shook his head and said, "Our Nokia 1's profits are not even 100 million USD."
"This is only temporary. If Nokia is given a chance, not only can you make 100 million USD, you can even make 1 billion USD."
"Boss Chen, that's not how it's calculated. Even if we infringed on your design patent, this design patent will not play a decisive role. In this case, it's more about our own design. "
"Mr. Su Li is right. In that case, you can design a new smartphone. I believe that with Nokia's capability, not to mention redesigning one model, even if it's redesigning 100 models, it won't be a problem. "
"Boss Chen, Huanyu Technologies still has a long way to go. This will not be the only time we compete with Nokia in the future."
"Mr. Su Li, are you threatening us?"
"No, I'm talking about reality."
"So you mean that you will show mercy to Huanyu Technologies in the future?"
Chen Yu stared into Su Li's eyes.
Su Li knew that his threat had no effect.
No company was willing to give their competitors a way out.
If the two parties were in different positions, Su Li would definitely want to kill them more than Chen Yu.
"Boss Chen, you win this time. 100 million USD, Nokia can still afford it."
The negotiation ended.
Su Li did not go back on his words. A few days later, Huanyu Technologies and Nokia signed a formal settlement agreement.
As for the amount of the agreement, it was the 100 million USD that Chen Yu mentioned.
"F * ck, it's settled just like that?"
"100 million USD is a lot, but they're letting Nokia go just like that?"
"Huanyu Technologies is a little unwise. If they let Nokia go now, Nokia will definitely not let Huanyu Technologies go in the future."
"That's what you say, but this kind of patent lawsuit is very troublesome. Sometimes it can drag on for years. Rather than that, it's better to get the 100 million USD first. "
"Even if that's the case, with this settlement, the Nokia 1 can be sold in the market legitimately. Although he can't sell as much as Super Pear, Nokia's capabilities are super terrifying. Nokia 1 can open up the market first, then Nokia 2 can be strongly upgraded. Nokia 3 might be on par with Super Pear. Nokia 4 will completely surpass Super Pear. "
"This is just your imagination, Huanyu Technologies won't remain stagnant."
"Regardless, letting Nokia go now is definitely not a wise decision."
When the media reported that Nokia had spent 100 million USD to settle with Huanyu Technologies, the audience was a little disappointed.
Even if they were disappointed, they could only complain.
This kind of decision could only be made by Huanyu Technologies.
Huanyu Technologies must have considered everything before making the final decision.
"Brother Jian, do you also think that settling with Nokia is a wrong choice?"
"This …"
"Don't say this and that, just say it."
"A little."
Zhang Jianming nodded.
It wasn't just the media, but also Huanyu Technology's internal department. There were many such opinions.
After all, with Huanyu Technologies' current size, they did not lack 100 million USD.
Huanyu Technologies did not have to let Nokia go for 100 million USD.
This kind of settlement was definitely tantamount to raising a tiger.
"Sigh …"
"Actually, I also feel a little regretful."
Chen Yu sighed and said.
"Ah …"
Zhang Jianming was a little surprised. "Boss Chen, then what should we do?"
"There's no other way, we've already signed the agreement, can we go back on our words?"
"This …"
Zhang Jianming was helpless.
Chen Yu was the big boss, even if he wanted to complain about Chen Yu, there was nothing he could do.
But then, Chen Yu said, "Since we can't go back on our words, then we'll continue to sue Nokia."
"Boss Chen, didn't we settle with Nokia?"
"We did settle the matter, but we only settled on the design of the cell phone."
Chen Yu smirked and said, "Don't we still have the desktop icon patent?"
