Chapter 645
, but went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs first.
"Mr. Lin, before you cooperate with Qualcomm, you must understand some things." Boss Lin, who was specially called to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, sat in front of him a diplomatic spokesperson who was familiar to everyone a few years later. This gentleman looked at Lin Zheng with a serious face, and his meaning was very clear: The country attaches great importance to the cooperation between your company and Qualcomm this time!
Lin Zheng nodded: "You said."
Although Qualcomm's strength and influence are very weak now, they already have the capital to affect a country's strategic security and information security. It is understandable that the country attaches great importance to the cooperation between Lianchuang Technology and Qualcomm. Lin Zheng did not feel that there would be anything wrong with being called to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a walk around.
"Qualcomm is quite greedy. You should be careful in negotiations with them." The spokesperson's face was very serious. When the country decided to introduce a new generation of digital wireless telephone technology two years ago, Qualcomm also participated, but Qualcomm left a bad impression on the country. As a negotiator who participated in the technology introduction throughout the process, the spokesperson had a very bad impression of Qualcomm: "Can you first talk about how Qualcomm plans to cooperate with you this time?"
"It's mainly about SMS machines. I guess it should be that Qualcomm is eager to receive low-priced SMS machines and quickly expands the number of users on the CDMA network..."
They are all smart people. Lin Zheng said this and the spokesperson has already understood Qualcomm's plan: the number of Qualcomm's cdma mobile terminal devices in the world is only over 1 million, of which South Korean users account for more than 80% of Qianqiu cdma users. With the world's largest telecom market, it has no way, which is enough to make Qualcomm worry.
For telecommunications companies, the number of users is their life. Their foundation. If Qualcomm had that strength, they would probably want to give each person a CDMA mobile phone for free. But with Qualcomm's strength, this is of course impossible. Even Motorola is a hugely wealthy Motorola. What should I do if Qualcomm, which is not well-founded, wants to expand its market share and number of users? The only way is to use the SMS machine, a cheap instant messaging tool.
"So it, Qualcomm will cost money?" The spokesperson probably had never encountered a situation where high-tech companies in the United States had to spend money to buy technology from domestic companies. His eyes couldn't help but widen: "Can't they study it themselves?"
"Of course it's okay to study it yourself, but what Qualcomm lacks the most now is time."
Hearing Lin Zheng’s words, the spokesperson immediately smiled: “What I lack the most is time? That’s right.”
Since what Qualcomm lacks the most is time, this matter is more interesting...
"Mr. Lin, when the country introduced GSM technology a few years ago, he also came into contact with Qualcomm. Do you know this?"
"I heard of it." Lin Zheng nodded. He could not have known such a big thing, "but I only know that Qualcomm is not physically strong and has a big appetite. It seems that there are other reasons, which were eventually rejected by us..."
I actually know whether it was rejected for this reason.
The spokesperson was happy with Lin Zheng's confession. This means that we finally have the opportunity to avenge the revenge of the past... Although the rabbit looks cute and cute, it is actually very revengeful.
As the spokesperson told the story, Lin Zheng finally had a general understanding of what happened back then: Compared to Europeans, Qualcomm, which looks beautiful in his hand, but has not been tested at all, was extremely greedy, just like a jackal who had never seen money. The conditions they offered were so harsh that all the people involved in the introduction of technology at that time frowned: You, a technology that has not been verified by large-scale commercial use, dare to speak out like this. Damn, don't you treat us as a super sucker?
The final direct consequence is that the Republic chose GSM and abandoned Qualcomm's CDMA... Lin Zheng knew that this incident still stimulated Qualcomm. A few years later, Qualcomm finally learned a little lesson. Although China Unicom also played the Lion's big talk when it introduced CDMA, it was not as big as it opened.
After hearing the spokesperson's words, Lin Zheng was already in his heart, but he asked in discomfort: "So what you mean is... when working with Qualcomm, why not increase the conditions?"
"I didn't expect that Mr. Lin, you would be foolish," the spokesperson pointed at Lin Zheng and laughed: "Although our country has no money, do you think that no matter how poor we have, we will lack this little money?"
This is not wrong at all. Lin Zheng agrees with this and confirms his guess: this time the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who has the best relationship with him, comes forward to talk to him about this matter. It seems that the above picture is quite small!
"You can try it and see if you can exchange some patents for CDMA technology from Qualcomm," said the spokesperson. "Although Qualcomm has a greedy appetite, it is realistic to be honest that they still have real things in their hands. Compared with GSM technology, their CDMA technology has a considerable improvement in terms of safety, efficiency and capacity, which is of great significance to our country's development of its own telecom standards..."
Lin Zheng was shocked!
Although he had thought about this matter as high as possible, he never thought that the bosses above took this matter so seriously: Is this going to use this matter as a breakthrough to lay a foundation for our country to formulate its own telecommunications technology standards in the future?
First-class enterprises make standards, second-class enterprises make brands, and third-class enterprises make products. This saying is well-known in the global business world is also suitable at the national level. First-class countries make standards, second-class countries make brands. After Europe has formulated a series of GSM standards, if we are not strong, we can only honestly develop our mobile communications business according to the standards set by Europeans. It would be fine if our country is a small country, but the only fate of our country is to become a superpower and a pole of the world, otherwise we will not be able to do small countries.
As a pole that can have a huge influence on the world, it would be too bad and unreasonable if it did not have its own telecommunications standards. After the new millennium, the country has been constantly preparing to formulate the next generation of standards for the telecommunications industry. In the 2G era, the Republic, which had no say at all, actually launched its own 3G network technology standard td-scdma in the next millennium. This is the most obvious example.
Although relying on the Republic's growing international influence, td-scdma has become one of the three major 3G standards in the 3G era, in fact, td-scdma has been surrounded by international giants since its birth. Other countries have tacitly adopted a ban on td-scdma: You Chinese are just our standard slaves, and they are planning to climb to the dining table and share cakes with us? Dreaming!
It is inevitable to be surrounded and intercepted.
Although TD-scdma's life was extremely hard, there is no doubt that in the formulation of TD-scdma standards and later commercial applications, the existence of TD-scdma has won unimaginable huge benefits for the country, made great contributions to the country's information security, and provided more bargaining chips for the country to gain more voice and standard setting rights in the 4g era.
Of course, there is another more important point: as the technical standards we have formulated ourselves, at the strategic level, we can be more at ease with information security.
Since the country has a big goal, Lin Zheng certainly knew what he should do, so he simply said to the spokesperson: "It seems that this matter is not something our company can do. Well, can the country send some negotiators who understand telecommunications technology to participate in the name of our company's negotiators?"
This is really a smart person. Lin Zheng's attitude made the spokesperson appreciate it very much: He came to meet Lin Zheng today for this matter. However, Lianchuang Technology has now become a signboard for domestic national enterprises. It is difficult to directly adopt administrative orders. If they can get their understanding and automatically and consciously cooperate with the needs of the country, it would be best. Sure enough, Lin Zheng did not disappoint the country either.
It is useless to say those pretentious words. Standing at the strategic height of national information security, there is no need for everyone to play with those pretentious ones. The spokesperson nodded: "Okay, this matter is settled like this. Thank you Mr. Lin for your cooperation."
"You're welcome, this is what we should do. To be honest, watching the standards set by foreign companies take a lot of money from our country every year, no matter who it is, I feel uncomfortable."
"Haha..." The spokesperson didn't say much, but his smile was a little bitter: Who said it was not? Looking at the wealth created by the people with great pains, others were taken away by laughter. Who can feel comfortable?
"Oh, by the way," before leaving, Lin Zheng suddenly heard something: "This time, no one who is crazy foreign affairs is here to make trouble, right?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Zheng would ask this question, and the spokesperson's face suddenly felt a little embarrassed. The practices and attitudes of the Foreign Affairs Office at all levels in certain matters have already vaguely aroused public anger. However, the problem is that this matter is inseparable from the "cooperation" of the Foreign Affairs Office. He smiled bitterly: "Mr. Lin, you must know that in name, this cooperation is only a private cooperation between your two companies, Lianchuang Technology and Qualcomm."
Lin Zheng rolled his eyes speechlessly: This is really something that you have to be like that and what you want to be... (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
