Chapter 245: Patent Trolls

"Dudu..."

The taxi carrying Jeannar and his two men arrived at the Panyu side of Shaxi Bridge. They were about to get off the ramp, but were stopped by a checkpoint. The driver pressed the horn a few times.

A powerful security guard from Kong Wu stepped forward and stretched out his left palm vertically, indicating that the place was blocked. Then he walked to the side of the car and said politely to the driver: "I'm sorry! Taxis are prohibited from entering here."

"I have two foreign friends in my car, and I want to go to Dolphin Technology." The driver pointed to the crossbar above the level and said to the security guard.

Since the Security Department set up a checkpoint at the entrance of the ramp, drivers passing by knew that this place was Dolphin Technology, so Nar had never tried the taste of Hu Weiwu looking for Dolphin Technology. He had reached the place.

Maybe it was their foreign identities that made the taxi driver dare not slaughter the passengers! In short, let Nar arrive here safely.

Security guards have encountered this situation many times, and those employees who come to the company to take taxis can only stop there. Dolphin Technology prohibits taxis from entering.

The security guard walked to the back seat and said politely to Jeannar and the others in the car: "Gentlemen, welcome to Dolphin Technology. Please show your ID and inform us of the reason."

Dolphin Technology implements a strict security management system, and everyone visiting must register and indicate the reasons.

To be a joke, a mosquito must be identified as a male and female when passing by.

Of course, the security guard spoke Mandarin, and Jean Na’s translator translated the security guard’s original words to Jean Na’s.

Jeannar protested on the spot: "No! You have no right to check my documents. This is the sacred and privatized power given to me by American law."

"Sorry! This is a private place, and I also have the right to prohibit you from entering. Either ask you to register according to the regulations or ask you to leave." The security guard also spoke up righteously.

This is the disadvantage of not being in contact in advance. Security guards must strictly abide by the company system. No matter who Jeannar is, there is no room for compatibility.

Although Nar protested firmly, it was useless. The security guard didn't even look at them. He turned his head and returned to the checkpoint to stand guard.

The two of them had no choice but to get out of the car and take out their passports to register honestly, and tell them the reason.

After registering, the security guard said politely to them: "Please get off the bridge along the ramp, and there is a car under the bridge to take you to the company."

This time, Nar had no objection. He only had to go to Dolphin Technology, so he asked his assistant to pay the fare and the two began to walk down the bridge.

The place where they got off the bus was the entrance of the ramp, which happened to be on the bridge, with a wide view, allowing Nar to see the Software Building, which is only two hundred meters away from the bridge at a glance.

At this time, the Software Building began to install glass curtain walls. The outside was blocked by the steel pipe frame safety net, and the true face of Mount Lu could not be seen. However, the height of 25 floors was on the edge of the Pearl River as flat as a mirror, so outstanding and majestic.

Looking down from the bridge, you can see the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Pearl River. However, the wind is a bit strong and cold, which makes Nal tighten his collar and speed up the pace of getting off the bridge.

When they arrived at the bridge, there was indeed a business car waiting. The two of them quickly got on the bus. The security guard was like a robot. He didn't say anything, but he just hung up the gear and started it. In less than a minute, he took them to the company's office building.

At this time, Wang Yong had already been waiting in the lobby downstairs of the office building, because the security guards were equipped with walkie-talkies hanging on their shoulders like Xiangjiang policemen in the 1990s, and the message was transmitted quickly.

"Welcome! My friend from the United States, my name is Wang Yong, and I am the chairman of Dolphin Technology." Wang Yong shook hands cordially with Jeannar who got off the car and reported his identity.

After the translation, I learned that the young man in front of me was the real master, and Nar shook hands with him happily.

Afterwards, Wang Yong invited them to the reception room and sat down. There was no secretary today, so Wang Yong personally made tea for them.

Let Nar not get used to the Chinese politeness, and he directly explained his purpose: "Mr. Wang, our ibm company wants to purchase your copper interconnection process patent authorization, please give a price!"

"No! We don't want money, we only accept patent mutual grants, we need all your copper interconnection processes authorization." Wang Yong smiled and clearly stated the conditions.

"This is impossible. We have more than a dozen key patents, and you only have one. This does not conform to the principle of reciprocity unless you pay us." Jeannar was angry when he heard this.

"Mr. Jeannar, I have to remind you that your company needs our authorization, and we do not have the ability to manufacture chips, and we are not equal."

Although the patent gangster is hated, Wang Yong is very happy. He is happy to see that Nar looks extremely angry.

Let Nar also know that he had become a patent gangster, and the other party obviously had a solution, but this was an unsolvable situation. Just as the other party said, Dolphin Technology would not ask them because Dolphin Technology does not have the ability to manufacture chips.

"Okay! I want to call back to the headquarters and report to Mr. Guo Shina, I have no right to decide on this matter."

Things went beyond ibm's previous expectations, so Naal had to call to report on the new situation.

"Yes, please come with me." Wang Yong was like a victorious general, and he was already filled with joy.

This is the first huge victory for Dolphin Technology. The copper interconnection technology that ibm invested heavily in research and development was easily acquired by Dolphin Technology.

Yes, in the end, ibm surrendered. They just stated in the contract that Dolphin Technology is not allowed to be used for commercial purposes or sub-authorized, and is only allowed to use it for its own use.

In fact, the best patent rogue is Qualcomm.

Qualcomm in the 1990s was still very weak and did not have the ability to manufacture products. They rely on this one and threatened other CDMA patent holders with just dozens of key patents. Through continuous patent mutual grants and enterprise mergers, from dozens of patents to more than one thousand patents, basically covering the patents of CDMA wireless communication technology. From then on, any enterprise, as long as it uses CDMA technology, would have to purchase authorization from them.

Of course, Dolphin Technology is not as shameless as Qualcomm. It does not require complete authorization and only seeks to use it for its own use. This makes the victims, including ibm, feel a little comforted.

Liu Meijuan did not participate in the negotiations with ibm company representative Mr. Jeannar. She was talking to Hu Weiwu. Then she was preparing to go to the company's project departments. She has not participated in the company's R&D affairs for more than ten months. She wanted to learn about the situation of each department, master first-hand information, and be targeted.

The first one he went to was the cloud operating system project department. No matter how it changed, the cloud operating system will always be the most important project for the company.

At this time, Zhang Zhidong's team had already entered the writing of the fifth level of high-level language layer, but due to the special circumstances of the cloud operating system, the engineering tasks were very large.

The high-level language layer corresponds to various application software in the future. Although I have had some imaginations about the future mutual network before, and Liu Meijuan has also mentioned several important application software, it is still not comprehensive enough.

The software engineers of Zhang Zhidong's team must continue to imagine various possible software, so as to leave data interfaces for the future.
