Chapter 583 Three Clearance Taxes in the Electronics Industry

"This is the case at present. Every day, many manufacturers in the consumer electronics industry call to ask whether they can obtain the authorization of the wireless charging patent."

"Mr. Yu from Juwei, Mr. Le from Dami... These are our high-quality partners. They also called me in person and made the same request."

"Mr. Wei, I made a list here. There are hundreds of manufacturers. It seems that they really need this technology."

Lu Tingfeng held a list in his hand, and as he talked, he danced with excitement.

Wei Kang took the list, scanned it briefly, and immediately understood it.

It seems that major manufacturers in the electronics industry have a very sensitive sense of smell and are always paying attention to relevant changes in the industry.

As soon as they find any technological change that can bring benefits, they immediately rush to it.

He smiled slightly and said, "It's easy to talk about patent licensing. Wireless charging is not Sanqing's old business. I don't have much interest in this business. Just being a tax-collecting landlord is not a bad thing."

"That's it, as long as it is a manufacturer with no conflict of interest, you can agree to it."

"However, the price should be differentiated, and there is no one-size-fits-all. After all, many domestic products focus on cost-effectiveness, and they cannot be charged too high."

"As for other manufacturers..." Wei Kang scanned the list and landed on the names of the fruits.

Pointing to the column of fruits, he said: "Fruit products have always been famous for their high prices and high profits, and they almost caught up with our Sanqing. So the patent fees for his family must not be too small, you say right?"

Lu Tingfeng nodded again and again: "President Wei is right, the patent fees for the two manufacturers of fruit and rice must not be the same."

Wei Kang pondered: "How about this, the patent fee is collected in five levels according to the pricing of the end product."

"Within 100 yuan is a grade, and a symbolic patent fee of one or two cents is enough. Products of this grade are probably low-end necessities. The profit is meager in the first place, so we can do it if we want."

"Then there are 500, 1,000, 3,000, and 5,000. There are five price levels in total. The 500 and 1,000 levels charge a fixed price. If the prices of the latter two levels are so high, they will be charged according to a fixed percentage of the terminal selling price."

"The general policy is like this. For the specific amount, you can discuss it with each manufacturer in detail."

Wei Kang made a decision in a few words.

"President Wei is brilliant!" Lu Tingfeng applauded immediately.

"Low-end products have no technical content, and the profits are meager. For example, the manufacturers of charging heads on the list are sold at very cheap prices. They are all tens of dollars, and the profit may only be a few dollars. The patent fee is charged. If it is too expensive, it will make us look ugly and affect the company's reputation."

"As for mid-to-high-end electronic products that use wireless charging as a selling point, it is appropriate to ask them to pay more patent fees."

"With our flexible charging, we can not only quickly popularize wireless charging technology, but also earn enough profits through them, and at the same time promote their deep cultivation in this field, which can be described as a win-win situation."

"That's right." Wei Kang couldn't help showing an expectant smile and said.

"Human imagination has always been very colorful, especially when the number is large, there will be surprises."

"To be honest, more than a hundred manufacturers are really blooming, and there are all kinds of weird things. I really want to see what tricks they can come up with."

Shenzhen City, Ju as the headquarters.

Yu Dong is browsing the webpage in the office. As the president of the terminal department, he is always paying attention to every move in the industry.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Cai Peng, the person in charge of the accessories department, rushed in excitedly.

"Mr. Yu, we have obtained the patent authorization of Sanqing's wireless charging technology."

Yu Dong was overjoyed when he heard the sound, and said, "Great, I said earlier that this thing is of limited use to Sanqing, it's purely a show-off, but it's definitely a must for the consumer electronics industry." big killer."

"With wireless charging technology, I can guarantee that within a year or two, Juwei will change the whole world."

Cai Peng has long been accustomed to the boss's talkative behavior, so he pretended not to hear it.

He directly took out his laptop, sat down across from him, and started talking incessantly.

"Boss, wise, it's like this. When I first saw this technology, I had several inspirations in my mind. Now I can consider turning them into reality."

"After discussing with the engineers below, these are a few more practical solutions."

"The main focus is on smart wearables. Boss, you know, things like earphones and watches are relatively small. The battery is small and the battery life is average. If wireless charging can be realized, it will undoubtedly solve the problem of battery life. For the pain points of users , will be a punch."

Yu Dong nodded and focused on the plan in front of him.

"FreeBuds wireless Bluetooth noise-cancelling headphones were originally going to be upgraded routinely this year, and we can just add the wireless charging function to complete an epic update."

"According to our research, the biggest pain point of wireless Bluetooth headsets is battery life. After the headset itself is charged, it only lasts for two or three hours. Taking it out and continuing to use it is very troublesome in general.”

"Many users have reported battery life issues and requested that the battery life be increased to the same length as wireless headphones. It is best to use it continuously for 8 hours to meet daily use."

"Before the advent of wireless charging technology, this was an impossible task, because the earphones are so big, there is no way to increase the battery capacity."

"But now." Cai Peng couldn't help laughing triumphantly: "We can increase the battery capacity of the charging compartment, and then add a wireless charging module, so that users can charge as much as they put on the earphones until the charging compartment is fully charged. run out."

"In this way, even if users take the high-speed rail or plane outside, they can fully satisfy 8 hours of uninterrupted continuous use."

Yu Dong's eyes lit up instantly, and he praised: "This solution is good, it really solves a major pain point of users, and the feasibility is very high."

"Other solutions are also very good. The smart watch is equipped with a wireless charging module, and the battery life is stronger. There is no need to take it off for charging. Users can wear it 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It is also waterproof, so you don't need to take a shower. Take it off, it's not too good to be true."

"We can also add a wireless charging module to the power bank to continuously charge users who go out."

"For high-intensity products such as tablets and mobile phones, after switching to wireless charging, users can get rid of the power cord and no longer have battery anxiety."

"The only thing that can't be used is the laptop. When using it, the power is too high, and the charge is not enough. It's a pity."

Cai Peng rolled his eyes and continued: "However, when the computer is in use, it cannot be charged wirelessly, but it can be turned off. Put it at home, and you will no longer be afraid of damaging the battery for a long time. It is said that every year because the battery is exhausted, it cannot be turned on and sent for repair. There are also many computers."

"That's right." Yu Dong slapped his thigh and laughed loudly: "It seems that everything can be charged wirelessly."

His thoughts quickly diverged, and he said in a deep voice.

"Don't we want to make a whole house smart? If wireless charging is added, there will definitely be a qualitative breakthrough in the whole house smart."

Cai Peng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help admiring: "Mr. Yu is still thoughtful. With this thing, the Internet of Things will definitely be possible."

"We have an advantage in ecology. Wireless charging is a good supplement, which is equivalent to complementing the shortcoming of energy. If you think about it, since it is the Internet of Things and the whole ecology, it must not be dragged on every piece of hardware. Charging cable, that's disrespectful."

"Since we want to do it, we should build a big one, add all the hardware that can be added with the function of wireless charging, and create a wireless intelligent full ecological network."

Cai Peng nodded again and again: "No problem, I will pull the team to work overtime, and I will get these new products out as soon as possible."

"Hehe, the press conference at the end of the year is coming soon, and our whole event has shocked the entire network."

Yu Dong's eyes shone brightly, and he laughed cheerfully.

*****

Eagle Country, CA, Fruit HQ.

CEO Cook looked at the contract in front of him, and gradually frowned.

He looked at the trembling subordinate opposite him, tried to maintain a calm tone, and asked.

"Why is the patent fee for wireless charging so expensive?"

"It actually charges a patent fee based on 6% of the initial sales price of the complete device."

The corner of Cook's mouth twitched, showing a disdainful smile: "This Sanqing, does it think it is Qualcomm? It's just a small wireless charger. Even if it doesn't have one, it won't hinder the sales of fruit equipment. How dare it charge such a high price?" Fees. Huh."

"This price is a robbery, and we absolutely cannot accept it."

He knocked heavily on the table and said with a serious face: "Call back and talk again."

The subordinate looked up at Cook's face, swallowed his words, and asked in a low voice, "What if we can't talk?"

Cook glared at him, and said coldly: "If you can't talk about it, just let it go."

"The high profits in the mobile phone industry can only be obtained by fruit. If others want to reach out, don't even think about it."

"Yes, yes." The subordinate did not dare to say a word, and even claimed yes.

Walking out of the office, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but smile wryly.

"How can we talk about this? Sanqing is also very strong. Their wireless charging technology is not worried about selling."

"I can only take one step at a time."

Sure enough, the next day, Guoguo received feedback from Sanqing.

No talking!

Cook was furious in an instant: "Damn it, this Sanqing is really shameless."

"This is an absolute technology monopoly. I'm going to court to sue it. In the name of anti-monopoly, this damn patent fee ratio must be reduced!"

However, he quickly regained his composure and asked.

"What about other mobile phone suppliers? Is the patent fee the same?"

The subordinate lowered his head and replied: "Sanqing's charges are based on the price, which is divided into five grades. No matter what the product is, we are the most expensive one. There are not many products below 5,000."

"As for other manufacturers, most of them are cheap, and there are not many more than 5,000, so..."

Cook was silent for a while. It seemed that the other party was also very smart. He knew that a one-size-fits-all approach would easily trigger the anti-monopoly clause, so he directly came up with a price grading, which would be difficult.

If you really want to study it carefully, the opponent can completely push the pot back on the fruit head.

Who made you sell it so expensive?

Can't you learn from your friends and sell it cheaper?

Take a look at your friends. For the same product, they pay such a low patent fee. How can you call it a monopoly?

"Could it be that the high price of the Sanqing tax is just paid?"

After thinking about it, Cook was very unwilling.

He has always been the only one who eats delicious fruits and spicy drinks, and relies on high-end products to monopolize 80% of the profits of the mobile phone industry.

When will a layman Sanqing be able to put his hand into his pot?

It is simply unreasonable!

After thinking about it, Cook decided to take out the word "drag" and wait until we see it.

Before he could speak, he could only hear a buzzing sound.

The subordinate took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and his face immediately changed drastically.

"It's not good, I just got the news from the supplier that Juwei has decided to realize wireless charging for all products and create a fully wireless ecosystem for the Internet of Everything."

"Not only wireless Bluetooth mobile phones, wireless chargers, smart watches, charging treasures, mobile phones, and tablet computers, all must realize wireless charging functions."

"Even laptops, all-in-one computers, keyboards, mice, routers, monitors, even surveillance cameras, smart door locks, all need to add wireless charging functions."

"In this way, whether users are at home, in office, or even out, they can completely realize wireless, and no longer need any charging cables."

"What!" Cook suddenly stood up.

Never expected that Juwei would have such courage.

Whole house wireless, man, that's not normal.

It means that all the products in the user's home may use the same ecology, or even come from the same manufacturer.

The significance of this is clear to Cook.

No one understands the meaning of ecology better than fruit.

The so-called ecological moat theory is still summed up by people from fruits.

Right now, Juwei is building an entire ecosystem and constantly building up its own moat.

One is the smart ecology of whole-house wireless charging, and the other is the smart ecology of whole-house connection.

Cook can figure out which one the user will choose with his feet.

He swiped a few times, called up the contract with Sanqing on the tablet, and quickly signed his name.

Then he coughed twice, and said without changing his face and heartbeat.

"Sanqing's patent fee ratio is very reasonable. If it is expensive to sell, it will also be expensive to pay taxes. This principle is the same all over the world."

"Wireless charging is a major trend in the future. Since our friends are leading the way, we must not lag behind."

"Our new products next year will definitely have a wireless charging function."

In this way, when Apple also happily paid the three-clearance tax.

There is no one in the entire electronics industry who dares to say no.

Everyone can see clearly that wireless charging is the big trend in the future.

Anyone who fails to embrace this change will be completely out.

Everyone can only be thankful that Sanqing is an outsider and has his own exclusive track.

So you can be a patent supplier with peace of mind, instead of monopolizing the technology and ending it yourself.

As a result, major manufacturers have worked hard to realize the wirelessization of electronic products.

Anyway, they are all on the same starting line, the manufacturer with the strongest execution.

There is no doubt that you will be the first to eat the first delicious crab.
