Chapter 472 The Cooperation Between Telepathy and Fruit
Chapter 472 The Cooperation Between Telepathy and Fruit
Of course, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the negotiations, in addition to having the advantage of location and support, they also did not forget to strengthen their own capabilities.
They also did not forget to strengthen their own capabilities. The team will be led by Philip Shoemaker, Senior Vice President of Global Fruit Business, along with the General Counsel, the Patent Officer, the Supply Chain Director, and two senior technical advisors.
The presentation is absolutely top-notch.
Of course, the overall operation was also very low-key.
After all, this is one of the rare instances where Apple proactively sought technology licensing negotiations with Transsion.
After Cook made the decision, preparations began, bringing with him a complete patent evaluation plan, legal contingency plan, and supply chain access standards.
Philip Shoemaker even simulated more than a dozen negotiation scenarios at headquarters.
Everyone on the team is certain that Transsion will not refuse this collaboration!
But this is not what the American public expected; for any Chinese company, being able to cooperate with fruit is a tremendous honor.
It's about interests!
Throughout the entire process, Transsion and Fruit were rivals in the same tier, with Fruit even at a disadvantage. Philip Shoemaker had a clear understanding of his own abilities.
On the other side, Shen Fei only brought three people.
Apart from Huang Tianya, the head of the investment department, Liu Zhihong from the systems department only had a legal director with him.
Although it can't compare to the star-studded lineup of fruit brands, its advantage lies with them.
Zhang Shiqing's job today is to promote this cooperation, so the municipal party committee also sent some people to participate in this meeting.
"Mr. Shen Fei, I have long admired your name."
"I think you should also know the purpose of our trip."
We are advancing the research and development of full-screen technology, but we highly recognize the maturity of Taishan's technology and hope to reach a patent licensing agreement with Taishan to promote the introduction of the technology into the iOS ecosystem.
After confirming that Shen Fei on the other end had nodded, the legal director behind Philip Shoemaker immediately presented a prepared cooperation plan.
"This is our preliminary cooperation plan."
He spoke with confidence, after all, compared to Google's secret plagiarism, they had already considered Shen Fei's preferences in advance.
"Fruit will pay a one-time patent licensing fee of $200 million."
Of course, this is just our entry fee; for each subsequent Apple phone equipped with this technology, we will pay a patent royalty of $0.8.
At the same time, we will open up our iOS-related UI interaction patents and conduct cross-licensing with Transsion.
Given the current market size of the Taishan system, this cooperation will bring you enormous benefits.
After speaking, he leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms on the table, looked at Shen Fei, and waited for his response.
In his view, this condition was already very generous.
After all, there are patent fees and entry fees, which is a miracle in the history of fruit cooperation.
If it were any other Android manufacturer, they would probably have signed the agreement long ago.
But he knew things were far from that simple, because the other side was a telepathic communication system, a global technology superpower that was above them.
"Mr. Philip Shoemaker, this proposal lacks sincerity."
Shen Fei casually flipped through two pages and gently pushed the report over.
Philip Shoemaker looked at the city council members, hoping they would put in a good word for him.
With Zhang Shiqing present, although those people wanted to speak, they ultimately kept their mouths shut.
"Mr. Shoemaker, don't look at anyone else!"
You should be aware of how big the hype is for full-screen displays. If Apple only wants to buy a display technology for this little bit of money, then there's no point in continuing today's negotiations.
Philip Shoemaker and the other delegates were all stunned.
Although they knew that the telepathic communication device had the technology and an advantage, they did not expect the other party to refuse so decisively, even skipping the bargaining step altogether.
However, since the other party was so assertive, he wasn't going to back down either, so he frowned and adopted a slightly tougher attitude.
"Mr. Shen Fei, the $200 million entry fee plus the revenue share per unit is absolutely the top standard in the industry."
Furthermore, the brand value of fruit cannot be measured in monetary terms.
If we also adopt a full-screen design, it will severely stifle the Android market, which will greatly impact the expansion of the TaiShan system's user base.
This value is truly immeasurable!
"User expansion?"
Shen Fei smiled faintly, then gestured for Liu Zhihong beside him to speak.
"Mr. Shoemaker, you've made a mistake."
In the global market, Transsion's S series and Starry series, its two flagship series, are second only to Apple, with sales differing by less than 10%.
However, in the low-to-mid-end market, Transsion is only one step away from being a top performer, and the African market is practically our own territory. Transsion's reputation doesn't seem to need the help of fruit.
After Liu Zhihong finished speaking, Shen Fei followed up again:
"Mr. Shoemaker, now it's Apple that needs Taishan's technology to make up for the shortcomings of full-screen displays, not Transsion that needs Apple to prove itself."
Therefore, your so-called recognition will not help in negotiations at all.
Furthermore, your approval is of little use to us; it even makes our brand seem somewhat cheap.
This statement was extremely arrogant, and the expressions of several leaders in the fruit team changed.
But Zhang Shiqing's lips twitched slightly: he liked this tone.
Seeing that the guards not only didn't help but also laughed, the fruit's supply chain director couldn't hold back any longer:
"Mr. Shen Fei, please be mindful of your wording."
Although Transsion's emergence dealt us a huge blow, Apple remains the global benchmark for consumer electronics, and our supply chain standards and technical requirements are the industry ceiling.
"Being able to enter the fruit's cooperative system is an opportunity that countless manufacturers would love to seize?"
"Yeah?"
Before Philip Shoemaker could smooth things over, Huang Tianya launched another attack:
"Why haven't I seen this report before?"
Shouldn't Cook have informed the shareholders before sending you here?
Faced with Huang Tianya's challenge, Philip Shoemaker frowned slightly!
"Mr. Huang, this is just a small collaboration. The specific plan has not been communicated to the board of directors, but the collaboration application will be approved and it is in the best interests of the fruit company."
Having heard this far, and after receiving a signal from Shen Fei, Zhang Shiqing finally tapped the table.
"Mr. Huang, we're currently in the technical negotiation phase. Let's discuss the accountability issue privately!"
Philip Shoemaker felt like he had been granted a pardon and quickly nodded gratefully to Zhang Shiqing. Indeed, getting them elected to the municipal party committee had been somewhat helpful.
"Since it's easy to talk about, let's discuss the core technologies."
These are the core parameters of the Taishan Display Frame 2.0, as well as laboratory data for the next-generation adaptive display technology.
I would like to ask what stage has the comprehensive wholesale of fruit resources reached now?
What is the adaptation efficiency of window management? What is the compatibility rate with third-party applications? How long will it take to achieve bug-free deployment across all scenarios?
