Chapter 379 (1/2)
Xiao Qi slightly calculated that in ten years, the patent authorization was almost 95 million. Now it seems expensive in a year or two, but considering the rapid development of China in ten years, the money is a drop in the bucket.
In addition, with the continuous appreciation of the RMB against the US dollar in the future, this money will also depreciate, but Xiao Qi's development in China will benefit a lot.
But he was not happy on the surface: ”these guys really want money. They all have it. Isn't it enough to pay six million a year? I have to pay more than 30 million. ”
Wade explained: ”you can't say that, Mr. Xiao. In fact, the patent for optical fiber transmission equipment invented by Nortel network itself is still very valuable. Their Nortel network now has a large income. Relying on this, they are willing to sell in every country, but this way of increasing year by year is also the norm of the market. After all, the network is developing with each passing day. Good technology is not afraid that no one will buy it. The price given to you is already very cheap. ”
Xiao Qi nodded secretly.
Nortel network made a fortune by relying on its own optical fiber transmission equipment. Because it can greatly improve the data transmission speed and comply with Clinton's ”information highway” construction plan, Nortel network made a lot of money and began their uncontrolled expansion.
Not controlling means not digesting. It goes without saying when the market is good, but once the market is bad, it is easy to have problems.
For example, the crisis of Nortel network in recent years happens to be on the optical fiber transmission equipment. Because of the burst of the network bubble around 2001, many companies that bought the fiber transmission equipment of Nortel network have closed down, causing unintentional breach of contract.
As a result, a large number of equipment of Nortel network were squeezed and could not be sold, resulting in insufficient circulating funds for them, which could not support the losses of other industries. Under the domino effect, the original super large companies of more than 200 billion collapsed and were dying.
In this case, with the improvement of the economy, Nortel network certainly hopes to sell its valuable things more valuable.
Technology companies in western countries have always looked down on the Chinese market, because they know that no matter how good their own things are, they will soon have imitated and cheaper products, and then use the price advantage to force themselves to collapse - don't you believe it? Microsoft is the best example!
Therefore, once Nortel network heard that Chinese people wanted to buy patents, it quickly reduced the price. Moreover, it was afraid that Chinese businessmen would not be able to support it in a few years, so it signed a ten-year agreement at one go, which was almost the expiration date of their patent protection period.
Otherwise, if we calculate according to the normal situation, a superpower larger than the United States and with a larger population than the United States, the entire optical fiber transmission equipment will cost at least hundreds of millions a year, and there will be equity funds for the production of each equipment.
They even gave up their rights and interests, which means they are not optimistic about the development of optical fiber in China.
They are not optimistic, but Xiao Qi is very optimistic, even determined.
As long as the iPhone comes out, the era of smart phones will open. Since then, China's demand for network speed will rise sharply, and the optical fiber technology that determines the network speed is the most important link.
If Xiao Qi did not make a mistake, the three major network operators of China Mobile, Lianshu and Diantong certainly dare not use piracy. Therefore, the improvement of China's network speed in the future should also be the result of their purchase of technology patents.
