Reborn in 1991, helping dad become the richest man

Chapter 340 Operating System!

The issue of mobile phone licenses has not happened yet.

Maybe they have a plan or an idea now.

But so far, no one has interfered with Wanhua's research and development, production of mobile phones, or even the current negotiations.

History, at this point, is likely already cheap.

After all, this is the general trend, but it is not the general trend either.

And because Wanhua is now involved, a change in the overall situation is almost a foregone conclusion.

After all, only when you have nothing will you try hard.

If you have it, why give away benefits out of thin air?

Yes, Tang Yichen only knew that in history, the reason why mobile phone licenses were issued was because the country and Nokia had reached an agreement.

But think about it, there is no benefit. People will authorize you to obtain the patent just because you are a relevant department of another country and you have a discussion and negotiation, and the conditions are so relaxed.

Even after the patent fees were not collected, they did not say anything, but waited N years later, when the flower-growing companies rose, before bringing this matter up again?

They are a company, a capitalist company at that, not a charity.

There is no such thing as a cheap thing if there is no benefit.

There must be an exchange of interests.

However, Tang Yichen didn't know what benefits the flower growers had used.

Of course, it doesn't matter now.

Wanhua Mobile has overcome the technical barriers on its own and can also handle patent licensing on its own.

This is definitely something that everyone above would like to see.

On the 25th, the negotiations dragged on for several days.

Finally, the negotiation team lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully lowered the price. Moreover, it was beyond Tang Xionghua's expectation that it was directly reduced to one hundred and twenty. Hmm, why did they manage to get to this point?

In fact, to put it simply, it was just a bit of hooliganism.

Negotiations are conducted behind closed doors, and mobile phone patent technology is not exclusive to one company.

Forming alliances and making allies, and the mobile phone company has no plans to enter the overseas market at present.

In a word, I only offer this price, and whoever agrees can sign with me.

If you don’t agree, then I won’t talk to you. Our company asked us to go back.

Anyway, we only sell in our country. This time we are giving away money, but you don’t want it. We can try other methods in the future!

Well, everyone knows other ways.

What is the current situation of the flower-growing family? We are not fools.

As long as the products are not exported, technology will not limit them.

If you collect patent fees, you can make money. If you don’t, you will lose it.

Indeed, perhaps by doing this, they can release the news, ruin Wanhua's reputation, and then hit Wanhua's stock price.

But the negotiator said directly: "In fact, we still want Wanhua to be delisted from Eagle Empire. If you suppress it, we don't care. Anyway, none of our Wanhua shareholders want to sell their shares and stocks.

If possible, I'd like you to help us lower the price so we can buy back these shares at the lowest cost!"

This is negotiation terminology.

Is it really possible to do this?

Actually, it is possible, but many Wanhua shareholders certainly do not want to do this.

Especially shareholders like Carlyle.

How can we expect Wanhua’s stock price to plummet?

However, this is just a negotiation, not real.

Of course, they certainly didn't know this, and even believed it in their hearts.

Because they really believe that the flower-growing companies can do this, after all, this is not the first or second case.

Therefore, these final words, which were like a showdown, became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

I'm unwilling, but there's nothing I can do.

In this way, the patent licensing price for a mobile phone was forced down to 120 gold coins.

However, it is still very expensive.

One hundred and twenty meters of gold is worth almost one thousand RMB.

The patent fee for a mobile phone for the elderly is one thousand yuan.

In ten years, you can buy several copycat phones with this price.

Moreover, Tang Xionghua was only planning to sell the mobile phone for 3,999 yuan, but now the cost has increased by 1,000 yuan out of thin air.

But there is no way, this is the business rule of the world.

The bigger the company, the more it has to abide by the rules.

Fortunately, even so, the profits are still huge.

The manufacturing cost of a mobile phone, including labor and other miscellaneous costs, is less than 300 yuan.

The price is 3999, and some of the profit is given to the dealers. It doesn’t need to be too much, about 500 or 600.

The profit of that machine is still two thousand and one or two thousand.

The initial R&D investment, the mass production investment at that time, and the subsequent advertising operations and other costs will be recovered with this part of the profit.

Tang Yichen calculated that he would need to sell 300,000 units to make a profit.

I have to say, this is truly a case of small profits but quick turnover.

After all, mobile phones are still considered luxury goods.

I’m afraid that the number of mobile phone maintenance units in the entire flower-growing world, including the number of large mobile phones, is less than 300,000.

After all, the current mobile phone prices have remained high, and for ordinary people, pagers and public phone cards are the best choices.

Mobile phones are something that people generally don’t consider unless they have a certain amount of wealth.

However, that was before.

Tang Yichen could imagine how popular the Huaxing mobile phone would be once it was launched on the market.

When everyone traditionally believed that mobile phones were luxury goods costing over ten thousand yuan and were something out of reach.

Suddenly, mobile phones became not much more expensive than pagers, and even ordinary office workers could buy one after working for half a year at most.

Luxury goods, face, and the inner desire to own something will all become motivation for purchase.

Tang Yichen predicts that if Huaxing Mobile has sufficient inventory, it will be able to recover all costs and become truly profitable within half a year at most.

Of course, it could be shorter.

But this needs to be verified by reality at that time.

Anyway, at the moment, Tang Yichen didn't pay too much attention to it after knowing the situation.

Right now, he is in his study, moving his mouse and keyboard.

Tang Yichen was testing and installing an operating system on computers produced by Huaxing itself, but it was not yet known to the outside world.

Lao Tang’s Internet company recruited so many talented people, but it was actually a bit of a waste of talent when they just developed two websites at the beginning.

After the website was developed, there was a sudden oversupply of talent.

It doesn't take so many people to maintain it.

In addition, computers had just been developed at that time, so Tang Yichen gave his father an idea.

We set up a project team for them.

Develop your own operating system.

In addition, the project team also urgently brought in Academician Mi, who was working on the development of optical radar.

Because Academician Mi is a veteran figure in the domestic operating system.

In fact, our country is not without operating systems.

On the contrary, my country's operating system started very early.

In 1990, under the leadership of Academician Mi, Hongqi Linux was developed based on the internationally open source Linux operating system source code.

Now, the operating system uses the basic template originally developed by Academician Mi.

Plus a test version based on some technical changes made by Huaxing Computer.

The operating system is actually a piece that is ignored and forgotten.
