About two months ago, Huawei founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei said he was considering sharing his 5G experience with a potential buyer from the West.
For a one-time payment, the buyer will be able to get permanent access to all existing Huawei patents and licenses in the field of 5G, source codes, drawings and other documents. At the same time, the buyer will be able to freely change key elements and block access to products.
In a recent interview, Ren Zhengfei confirmed that the company is still willing to sell access to its 5G technology to an American company, but no one wants to negotiate.
This is a very large and very complex solution. Large US companies should think carefully. When someone wants to discuss this issue, we will find an investment bank. The bank will help discuss the agreement and cooperation on the transaction.

Regarding why Huawei believes that the United States is interested in its technology, Ren Zhengfei explained: Europe, South Korea and Japan have their own 5G technologies, so the United States should be the only real buyer.
