Chapter 2003 Spending Money to Make Wedding Dresses for Others
Qin Feng refused extremely resolutely.
"Boss, although you are a wise and martial boss, you must also give me an explanation, otherwise I will never agree!" Melissa said angrily.
However, she also knew that Qin Feng was the boss after all, and in order to avoid a stalemate between the two sides, she still patted Qin Feng's ass.
Women, who are as careful as a hair, are always good at dealing with all kinds of male bosses.
Qin Feng pouted.
"Because 3G is not the future!" Qin Feng said lightly.
"3G is not the future? It's not the future, you say it's not the future!" Melissa exclaimed.
"You should know that in 1985, Qualcomm developed a new technology called "CDMA" using the "spread spectrum technology" that the military had lifted. This CDMA is today's 3G!" Qin Feng said.
The so-called spread spectrum technology actually originated earlier.
In 1940, American actress Hedy Lamarr proposed a technical concept of Spectrum, the so-called spread spectrum technology, which is a communication technology that spreads the spectrum of transmitted signals to a wider bandwidth than its original bandwidth, and is often used in the field of wireless communication.
In March 1938, Heidi Lamarr, who was living in Austria, fled to London to escape her failed marriage and numerous "friends". By the way, she also brought the "military secrets" of wireless communications to the allies. These secrets are mainly based on the "command guidance" system of radio security communication, which is used to automatically control weapons and accurately hit targets, but in order to prevent radio commands from being stolen by enemy forces, it is necessary to develop a series of radio communication secret technologies.
At the beginning, because of her status as an actress and her ex-husband's relationship with the composer, Heidi was able to get in touch with many high-ranking officials. And although she is an actress, she is well-educated and knows that this technology is extremely valuable.
So, when she was in Austria, she quietly learned her skills. Then, when you return to your home country, you do your research. Finally, in August 1942, she was granted a patent in the United States. In the U.S. Patent Office, there was such a patent: patent number 2,292,387 for the "Secure Communication System" patent, which was approved on August 11, 1942, and applied for on June 10, 1941, for Spread Spectrum technology. Archived on the website of the U.S. National Patent Office, the technology patent was originally intended for military use.
However, initially, this technology was used to deal with Germany's radio wave jamming or anti-eavesdropping military communication system, so its main function was to be applied to the military.
Naturally, with the end of World War II, this technology was dusted down.
Until 1985, after the military lifted the lockdown. Qualcomm saw the value. Subsequently, there was the 3G network.
Qualcomm, with this, has grown from a little-known company to a world giant.
It can be said that war is the best catalyst for science and technology.
And among the many dusty technologies in the United States, we never know how much more can change the future world.
"Boss, you know this history by heart, you should be an archaeologist. Melissa teased.
Qin Feng sent a roll of his eyes.
"Don't you understand what I mean, 3G is a technology that came out in 1985, why hasn't it been popularized yet?" Qin Feng asked.
"Because the conditions didn't allow it!" said Melissa.
"Why is it not allowed under these conditions?" Qin Feng asked rhetorically.
"Because there were no mobile devices to use the 3G network at that time. "The technology exists, but it doesn't have the conditions to apply it." So, it can't be used. And now, the popularity of mobile phones, and the increasing maturity of mobile phone chips, have given it a market. That's why we need to use it. It's going to be a joint development. I've negotiated with the three major operators in the United States. We invest, we jointly build a 3G signal tower, and the future profit is divided in half. ”
In order to persuade Qin Feng, Melissa had no choice but to show her hole cards.
Originally, she was going to wait for everything to be done, and after the contract was signed, she would come to Qin Feng to ask for credit.
But now I have to say it first.
When Qin Feng heard this, his face was even more ugly.
"Do you think that the three major operators in the United States have no money and need our cooperation?" Qin Feng complained, "You should think about it, for our company, hundreds of millions of dollars are a lot." But for a company like them, is there a shortage of hundreds of millions of dollars?"
"Boss, that's not what I said. Because it's risky after all. If you can transfer risk, why not transfer risk. Even the largest company should be cautious in investing, otherwise it will end up in trouble because of impulsive investment. Melissa said.
Qin Feng covered his face.
"Melissa, you're quite right. But it is not suitable for these three operators. They lost hundreds of millions of dollars, just like fun. Qin Feng said lightly, "For example, AOL spent hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire ICQ before, but what was the result? If you invest, it's like you didn't invest. This money, looking at it now, has been wasted. Its user base has been completely surpassed by us. ”
Melissa wanted to refute, but she didn't know where to refute.
"They don't care about money, why do they come to us, the reason is simple, it's a 100% loss-making business, and if you come to us, you can find a fool to help them build a signal tower. Qin Feng said lightly.
"How is this possible?" exclaimed Melissa.
How could this be a loss of money! She would never believe it.
"Melissa, you have to understand one thing, and that is that this technique is too old. Qin Feng said lightly, "In the Internet era, technology is changing with each passing day. And this was the technology of 14 years ago. It's about to be a new century. 3G technology, it's too old!"
Melissa was not stupid, and naturally understood what Qin Feng meant.
"Boss, you mean that there will be new technology to replace 3G?" Melissa was a little unconvinced.
"Yes. 3G is destined to be eliminated in a few years, and will be replaced by the next generation of wireless communication technology!" Qin Feng said, "In this case, we are now spending money to build signal towers, which is to make wedding dresses for others." The money was spent, and as a result, a tower was built in vain, and nothing was earned. When people come out with 4G signals, then we won't be able to share a dime. ”
That's for sure.
They signed a 3G signal sharing contract with you. But when 3G is eliminated, people directly use 4G, so how do you divide the money?
You don't make sense.
It's useless for your lawsuit to go to the edge of the sky.
Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that you have been cheated. But according to the contract. You have been cheated, and you can only say that you are stupid and can't see the situation clearly. So who can be blamed?
Obviously, no one is to blame for this.
Therefore, this is also the reason why Qin Feng resolutely refused.
"Boss, not so fast!" Melissa was a little incredulous.
