Chapter 607 Planning
The domestic research on cdma technology did not start too early, but the investment was actually very amazing.
The idea of the central cyber war proposed by Hu Wenhai was attracted attention from a series of military-industry systems related fields such as the General Staff, General Assembly and the National Defense Science and Technology Commission in the Iran-Iraq War.
According to the senior leaders' judgment on the international strategic situation, the probability of wars such as World War III and nuclear war pose a devastating threat to human survival is already very small.
In contrast, regional conflicts, local wars, and asymmetric wars occur almost frequently around the world.
The information warfare and cyber warfare model can be said to have great advantages over these small wars.
The development of informatized and mechanized troops is gradually becoming the overall consensus of the military.
In the information war, guidance weapons are undoubtedly the most dazzling stars. For today's China, without the resources to invest in a large capital project as big as GPS, the base station positioning proposed by Hu Wenhai has become the only choice.
To do base station positioning, the first thing is to do is to master the battlefield electromagnetic power.
The wireless communication technology used by the People's Liberation Army in the 1980s was absolutely not suitable for the complex electromagnetic environment of the modern battlefield. Whether it is its simulated wireless communication security, data transmission bandwidth, battlefield concealment and anti-interference, maintenance performance and scalability...
Almost all information warfare performance cannot be met by past communication equipment.
Under such circumstances, it is urgent to develop a new generation of digital communication technology.
After the military industrial system received the down payment of US$7 billion in Iraq, it immediately began to invest in this area.
As another investor, Xinke Group has jointly developed this new type of battlefield digital system with the military system.
In fact, the essence of this battlefield digital system is the military system of WCDMA.
Hu Wenhai reached an agreement with the National Defense Science and Technology Commission. After the successful development of this system, we can refer to the old examples of the TF41 imitation project. In terms of military technology, military industrial systems can be applied on their own, while in terms of civilian technology patents belong to the new science.
This is mainly because Xinke Group itself has huge technical strength. Not to mention the importance of Xinke wafer fabs to the military informatization of the troops, the technical information provided by Hu Wenhai later was enough to make great progress in CDMA technology.
Even if Hu Wenhai has no practical experience in spread spectrum, direct frequency, smart antenna and sequence code technology, at least he still knows the principles and technical direction.
Without the technical support of Xinke Group, the troops would really not know what time it would take to apply CDMA communication technology.
It is precisely because of Xinke Group's strong investment in the field of CDMA that the PLA's communication technology has been undergoing rapid development in the past two years. Not only has it equipped some of the main forces with battlefield communication systems, but it has also launched a military CDMA network experimentally in China.
Although this experimental network called Great Wall cdma only provides services in the imperial capital, magic capital, Xi'an and demon capital, it still provides a valuable experimental platform for China's cdma technology.
After several years of construction, it has become a mature model that provides services to more than 600,000 users of the People's Liberation Army-related units.
But it is precisely because CDMA involves military purposes that the development of the domestic CDMA network has always quietly entered the village and was not allowed to shoot.
So much so that Qualcomm today has no idea that China has come to its front in CDMA technology.
"President Swin, fortunately, I have met Mr. Hu Wenhai."
As soon as he returned to the hotel, Louis couldn't wait to call Swindon Bai and excitedly revealed the details of the meeting.
"Hu Wenhai's requirements are very high, not just Qualcomm's stock and board seats. Xinke Group hopes to send high-level personnel with real power to Qualcomm. Our technical team is required to provide R&D materials to Chinese laboratories simultaneously. Qualcomm can be authorized in terms of patents, but they have a package of patent agreements that must be paired with a complete set of technologies rather than a single patent..."
Swin Bai was on the other end of the phone, listening quietly to Louis's narrative.
Although he did not make any comments, he had already denied these conditions in his heart as early as Louis said the first sentence.
Stocks and board seats are acceptable. After all, Qualcomm is not a one-person joint-stock company, with the initial number of shareholders as high as seven. By now, the number of shareholders in Qualcomm's board of directors has already reached fifteen, and the expansion has exceeded twice.
I believe these shareholders will not have much comment on financing and selling equity.
But it is impossible to ask Qualcomm to accept one, or even a few, senior executive positions sent by Xinke Group.
If you want to achieve this requirement, there is only one possibility. For example, if Sony acquires Colombia and has more than half of Colombia's stocks, you can naturally change the company's senior management to a Japanese at will.
If you want to guarantee the shareholders' own interests, you can ask for a seat on the Supervisory Board, which is not an exaggeration.
But on the one hand, Xinke Group does not want to make a large investment in Qualcomm - this is obviously unrealistic. The US Radio Commission will never hand over such an important radio communication standard to a Chinese-controlled company. Once Xinke Group becomes Qualcomm's major shareholder, it is equivalent to saying that CDMA technology will be abolished in the US market.
On the other hand, Xinke hopes to control Qualcomm's company operations so as not to be out of its own control.
Although Xinke Group is temporarily leading in CDMA technology, Qualcomm, as an American company, will obviously be a strong chaser and competitor for a long time.
If Hu Wenhai did not deploy certain control methods, the Americans might grit their teeth and would really catch up in two or three years.
But it is precisely because of this that Swin Bai is even more unlikely to allow Xinke Group to deploy senior management in Qualcomm - he really wants to do this!
Xinke Group may be a part of its technology ahead of Qualcomm in technology, but the technological gap between China and the United States is there. As long as investment is increased, there will always be a time to overtake.
Hu Wenhai's move is equivalent to completely pressing Qualcomm into a vassal position, which is absolutely unacceptable to the board of directors.
After listening to Louis' report on the phone, Swinbai became more convinced of Hu Wenhai's purpose.
It seems that Qualcomm may have to find another way to "persuade" Xinke Group.
However, the idea of patent binding authorization proposed by Hu Wenhai made Swenbai very interested. This Chinese man had a magical magic. How could he make such a proposal that suits his appetite?
It’s not that Qualcomm is willing to be forcibly stuffed into a bunch of tied patents, but that Qualcomm is very interested in giving this move to other companies.
Get patent licenses from other companies at a low price, and then bundle these patents and CDMA patents together, requiring equipment manufacturers to purchase them in a set...
This idea is awesome!
"Louis, you settle down in China first." Swinbai cheered up and instructed: "The board and I have already expected this situation. The Chinese people have too much appetite, and they may not have accurately recognized their position. This is not surprising. Hey, Hu Wenhai takes his name as the "world's richest man" too seriously. We will have a way to make him realize the gap."
"So what's my next job?" asked Louis.
"You just treat this period as a vacation. Isn't China holding the Asian Games? Enjoy your holiday well, and someone will contact you soon and you will be shocked."
Seeing that Swinbai wanted to play the puzzle, Louis certainly didn't mind taking a break for a while. During the business trip in China, no matter whether he worked or not, the business trip subsidies and wages were collected. Who wouldn't want such a good opportunity?
"Okay, Swin," Louis agreed happily: "I will wait for the company's tasks at any time."
"Hopefully there will be a surprise."
...
China does attach great importance to this Asian Games. On the one hand, it needs to show the achievements since the reform and opening up, and on the other hand, it also requires more opportunities to enhance national self-confidence.
Although Hu Wenhai has strong support for the Communist Party, the domestic situation still does not seem optimistic to be honest.
Although there has been good economic development, in some aspects, it has to retreat with great strides.
As Hu Wenhai said to Fang Jiange, if we do not let go of confrontation in the ideological field, Western developed countries will never sit idly by and watch the large-scale transfer of industry to China under the background of globalization.
The various negative effects that have emerged in the ever-changing changes after the reform and opening up have also made many people at a loss.
Although the economy of Northeast China has not fallen into a trough as it has in history, the impact of people's ideas in society is still quite large. In other words, this "the eldest son of the Republic" is actually the last barrier for bureaucrats and conservatives.
If the reformed broom is not allowed, the stubborn conservatives will not run away by themselves.
Hu Wenhai can change a lot, but it is difficult to change people's hearts.
Showing the achievements brought about by reform through the Asian Games is also very important for establishing national self-confidence and changing the concept of the people.
At the 1990 Imperial Capital Asian Games, if you calculate the economic accounts on this activity, it is obviously a loss. But you also need to see the changes in politics, people's hearts, propaganda and China's international image beyond the economic accounts. This is undoubtedly a big profit for a country in an upward period.
Like the Tokyo Olympics in 1964 and the Seoul Olympics in 1988, these are also very successful examples in the history of the Olympics. These Olympics undoubtedly took place during an important period of rising in Japan and South Korea, creating opportunities for the two countries to expand their international influence.
This time, the Asian Games in the Imperial Capital held by China is precisely the hope of reversing the adverse image at home and abroad.
After Louis let go of his work, he really went to visit the imperial capital with all his heart, and he could immediately feel the huge difference between this reality and the one he imagined.
