Chapter 435 Come on, Hurt Each Other

Wu Tao's feeling is not wrong.

After the meal, when the two parties formally started to negotiate, Frank didn't have much enthusiasm on his face, and he looked businesslike.

"We welcome developing countries like Huaxia to join our ETSI association. As long as your domestic companies and operators pay membership fees in accordance with the standards specified by the association, you can jointly participate in and develop the GSM standard..."

This is really taking Huaxia as a fool.

Naturally, Gu Xueli couldn't let it go, and when he mentioned the GSM standard in the report he submitted to his superiors, he didn't include this so-called additional membership fee.

Wu Tao didn't speak at first, and because he deliberately kept a low profile, no one knew his identity as an important speaker.

Unexpectedly, Frank resolutely refused to give in, as if a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. In his view, it was your Huaxia expert team who came to us anyway, so naturally you have to follow our requirements.

Gu Xueli gave Wu Tao a look. He was in charge of singing the red faces, so naturally someone had to be in charge of singing the bad faces.

As soon as Wu Tao opened his mouth, Frank's heart skipped a beat.

"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Frank is from Alcatel Telecom, right? May I ask how much your company pays in annual dues?"

Frank settled down and said: "Alcatel Telecom is one of the initiators of the ETSI Association, and does not need to pay membership dues according to the standard."

"Oh~" Wu Tao calmly said: "Does Mr. Frank think that China has no choice but to adopt the GSM standard? As far as I know, there is another telecommunication standard called CDMA in South Korea and the United States, and it is technically better than yours. The GSM standard is more advanced and reliable."

"...Frankly speaking, we are sincerely participating in the promotion and application of the GSM standard. If the ESTI Association has always had this attitude, why don't we consider the CDMA standard?"

"...It just so happened that when I was in Hannover, Germany a few days ago, I just communicated with a representative of Qualcomm."

As soon as these words were thrown out, Frank the Frenchman had to think about it.

It was Isabella who was the stenographer. After finishing writing, she looked at Wu Tao with beautiful eyes.

This Chinese guy is really interesting, his gestures are very manly, which is exciting.

After Wu Tao's white face finished singing, Gu Xueli's red face went on to sing: "Mr. Frank, in fact, we didn't intend to join ETSI this time, because the GSM standard is becoming more and more mature. Our joining will not contribute much to the improvement of technical standards. role."

"...But the GSM standard will eventually develop the next generation of mobile communication standards in the future. Everyone is on the same starting line for this generation of standards. We in Huaxia hope to work together with our European colleagues on this matter."

Having said that, Frank was already moved several times.

Whoever said that Huaxia is poor and white, and knows nothing about mobile communication technology, is being taken advantage of, this is simply nonsense!

People not only know the competitor of the GSM standard, the CDMA standard, but also the next-generation mobile communication technology standard.

In fact, in Europe, the next-generation mobile communication technology standard has just been put on the agenda and has not been made public.

In this case, Huaxia's expert team can know that it is obvious that there has been accumulation in this technical direction.

"Okay, okay... this point, we can talk about it again..." Frank finally let go.

After some negotiations, Frank finally agreed to share the GSM technical standard with Huaxia without paying the so-called membership fee.

Of course, the cost of technical training is excluded.

For the establishment of the next generation mobile communication technology standards organization, the two parties also reached a preliminary cooperation intention.

So far, everything seems to be going well.

Until Frank's topic finally settled on Yuanqi Technology, the two sides had disagreements again.

"As a mobile phone manufacturer, Yuanqi Technology needs to purchase the GSM patent license in the mobile phone chip. This is the cost of the GSM patents of various manufacturers, and has nothing to do with the GSM standard."

Wu Tao couldn't help laughing. If he did this, it would be different from Qualcomm, an old patent hooligan.

In fact, domestic companies in previous lives purchased licenses from Western GSM patent giants every year to eliminate the risk of intellectual property infringement of exported products.

For Yuanqi Technology, this point cannot be bypassed at all.

After all, the overseas expansion plan of Lotus mobile phone is already imminent, and it has to be launched.

To spend an extra sum of money for this, no matter whether it is affordable or not, it is somewhat reluctant.

"With all due respect, Mr. Frank. I don't know if this is what you mean, or what Nokia and Ericsson mean."

"...No matter what, I can pay this money in theory. But I also have two requirements. First, I hope that the other party will provide a detailed list of basic patents to avoid repeated payment by Yuanqi Technology for certain basic patents; second, After we hand it over, will we be able to ensure the intellectual property infringement risks of export products, who will ensure it?"

"... On the other hand, Yuanqi Technology will gradually form its own patent system. In the future, if we encounter a similar situation, does it mean that Yuanqi Technology can also charge patent royalties from big companies such as Nokia and Ericsson?"

Wu Tao asked questions one after another, with the momentum of 'come on, hurt each other'.

Seeing that Gu Xueli was stunned, he didn't expect Wu Tao to have such a strong side in foreign negotiations.

As for the eyes of the members of the expert group, they are also a little confused.

In their view, using patents and paying patent fees is a matter of course and right. Why is Yuanqi Technology so digging and searching on this matter?

In fact, Wu Tao also tried it out with a vague mentality.

Even if this piece of meat is destined to be bitten off by Western giants, Wu Tao will make them feel that it is very laborious to bite.

Otherwise, if it goes too smoothly, it is easy to give the other party the impression that 'this money is easy to search'.

In this case, it will be difficult to recycle in the future.

What's more, the list of basic patents for designing the GSM standard is already a mess among the major giants. There is me in you, and you in me.

It is not a simple matter to provide a clear basic list for real delivery.

Frank also didn't expect it. He originally thought that this issue should be a matter of course. But I didn't expect that the Huaxia people planned to do nothing at all.

Who told me that all Huaxia people were taken advantage of? This is an iron cock at all!

"Then what do you say?" Frank was at a loss.

Wu Tao sat up straight and talked eloquently: "In my opinion, as the implementer of the GSM standard, ETSI had better not encourage this kind of patent war. Because this will only bring negative effects to the promotion and application of the GSM standard."

"...Taking a step back, even if the patent war cannot be avoided, specific issues related to the company should be discussed in detail, and ETSI should take the initiative to reconcile this contradiction."

Seeing Wu Tao's swearing, Frank was also speechless.

This is true, but I always feel that there is something wrong...
