Chapter 1083 Research and Development Expenses(2/2)
Projects that the Deep Space Corporation has collaborated with several universities have recently started.
There is another thing that will cost Deep Space Company a lot of money. They are preparing to attack Motorola.
When Jimmy told Yu Dong that he was going to attack Motorola, Yu Dong was very surprised.
From Yu Dong's point of view, although Motorola is in decline now, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so it doesn't mean that they can be attacked casually.
But Jimmy was very confident, and Deep Space Company only wanted to take over Motorola's mobile communications business.
The reason why we want to acquire Motorola's mobile communications business is because Motorola holds a large number of mobile communications patents, which is exactly what BenQ Mobile lacks.
When Android-based mobile phones are launched in the future, BenQ Mobile will definitely suffer if there is no patent in hand.
Therefore, Jimmy must plan in advance to create a solid patent barrier for BenQ Mobile so that they can seize the high ground in future competition.
In fact, Motorola seems to be doing well now, but it is already walking on a tightrope.
Chris Galvin announced his resignation last month, and the company's new CEO has not yet taken office.
Motorola hired a vice president in charge of Java development from Sun Microsystems some time ago and asked him to take charge of the development of the universal operating system for Motorola mobile phones.
Although Motorola is part of the Symbian family, they still hope to develop a smartphone system to help them dominate the world.
But unfortunately, Java has an inherent shortcoming, that is, it is too slow. Motorola will most likely not be able to solve this problem.
Even if it can be solved, I'm afraid it will take many years. If the day lily becomes cold in many years, not to mention Deep Space Company's Android system will be released by then, I'm afraid other manufacturers will not be vegetarians either.
Once Motorola discovered that this mobile operating platform was simply unachievable and that they had no further development in the mobile phone market, the situation quickly deteriorated.
At that time, Motorola has only two options. One is to package up and sell their mobile communications business, and the other is to support it with difficulty, and then let the mobile communications business drag down all other aspects of their business.
Jimmy believes that Motorola will definitely choose the former.
Now the Deep Space Company is also saving money, waiting for Motorola to have problems, and they will take decisive action.
Even if there is no opportunity in the past two years, this opportunity will appear after the Android system is released.
…
On October 2, in Yu Dong's office, after Jimmy told Yu Dong about Motorola's situation, he smiled and said, "There are more and more places to spend money."
"Well, there are more and more. Is the new energy laboratory we cooperate with Columbia University burning money recently?"
"They are okay, mainly because there is no big progress. The robotics laboratory has the least money, with an average of at least two million US dollars per month."
"That's not bad, it's only 24 million US dollars a year."
"At least...it is estimated that it will cost 50 million US dollars this year."
"Fifty million US dollars is not bad."
Jimmy raised his finger, "You are really wealthy. You spend 50 million US dollars a year on R&D. It's okay here. Don't look at the R&D costs of hundreds of millions of dollars every year by technology companies. Our situation is different.
, we are just a laboratory, and it is relatively simple to calculate R&D expenses.”
But Yu Dong does think that the R&D expenses of 50 million US dollars a year are not bad, and the robotics laboratory is not making no money now, they can still sell some money to supplement their family income.
