Chapter 611: Seeking Truth from Facts
As the opening date of the Asian Games approaches, Luis's vacation is finally over. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Just when he returned to the imperial capital from Dagu, the hotel's front desk manager told him that someone had been waiting for a long time.
"President Swain!"
Louis looked at Swin Bai who came out of the elevator in the lobby of the Shangri-La Hotel with some surprise, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Luis, you've done a great job in the early stages, and I would like to thank you on behalf of the company. When this work is over, there will be a new position waiting for you when you go back. β
Swainbai laughed and gave Louis a hug, patted him on the back vigorously, shook his head and sighed: "No one thought that you could contact Hu Wenhai so quickly." And the information you've gathered before, which means a lot to us. β
"President, have you seen that Chinese-made mobile phone, and has the engineering department come up with a conclusion?" Louis asked a little nervously.
"Let's talk as we go. β
Swain patted him on the shoulder, stepped into the elevator, and pressed the floor of his presidential suite.
Swinbeth's Presidential Suite is certainly not the same as Louis's business room, with a comfortable bedroom and spacious hall, a study dedicated to work, and even a separate gym.
The conversation between the two did not take place in the study, but Swinbeth poured Louis a glass of wine, and then the two of them found a green corner on the European-style balcony with a view of the presidential suite, and enjoyed the pleasant autumn breeze at first.
"The Chinese are really terrible!"
Swen Bai took a sip of the wine in the glass, looked into the distance and said, "I can't believe it, if I enjoy such a service in New York, my income will not be so easy." But in China, I can enjoy all this without any burden, because the prices here are heaven for us. The most important thing is that China's population is still so large, even if the value created by each of them is low, but it is a huge number when it comes together. β
"Luis, I'm going to tell you something that just happened. I was on my way from the airport and the driver of the taxi had a drinking cup with a sentence written on it. I asked him to tell me what it meant, and he said it was a quote from the great man of China, which was called 'practice is the only criterion for testing truth.' Do you know what kind of feeling my whole person felt when I heard that? I felt like I had heard the truest truth in the world, as if my whole person had an epiphanyβ"
"It's a magical land. β
Swain tapped on a worn-out white enamel teapot with a line of text written in hair. Although he didn't know the Chinese characters, Louis knew that this was the main character in Mr. President's story.
"Well, in their Chinese words, it is to seek truth from facts. Louis nodded in agreement.
"Yes, be realistic!" Swinbeth let out a long sigh.
"As a result of being realistic, I have to be here. β
"Because of the phone?" Louis looked surprised.
In his view, the technological gap between China and the United States is obvious, and it will never be surpassed by one or two geniuses.
No matter how powerful Hu Wenhai is, no matter how talented Wu Xiaoyu is, and how well capitalized is ST Group, it is difficult to achieve China's surpassing of American science and technology by itself?
No kidding, it's so unscientific.
In Luis's opinion, the features of Tietong's mobile phone are really refreshing. But this is at most a matter of thinking, with the advanced technological level of the United States, is it not a minute to overtake the Chinese?
Hu Wenhai is indeed a business genius, but he is not necessarily so powerful in terms of technology.
Louis, who knows himself and his opponent, has long studied the history of Hu Wenhai's fortune, and the high-tech products in his hands are selected from fields that developed countries have not entered. For example, lithium-ion batteries, IGCT, and general section shipbuilding, these technologies are all groundbreaking, and typical ideas determine victory or defeat.
This shows that Hu Wenhai is indeed a genius, but it also indirectly proves that his background is insufficient.
In the traditional areas of strength of Europe and the United States, he has no outstanding performance. Instead, it imports a large number of related technologies from abroad to make huge profits in China.
Importing advanced technology from Europe, the United States and the Soviet Union, and then making super-profits in China, this is almost the summary of Hu Wenhai's business model by most foreign business analysts.
From this point of view, Hu Wenhai is more like a comprador of European and American high-tech companies in China. At a time when multinationals are too afraid to get involved in China in the face of high political risks, it would be nice to have such a channel.
As a conscious capitalist, I believe that Hu Wenhai will definitely try his best to maintain this technological generation gap between developed countries and China, because only this is in his best interests.
As for the high-level technology developed by China, did it end up in the hands of multinational corporations? In their view, Mr. Hu Wenhai is the best friend of capital.
Of course, there is an element of personal struggle in his success, but it cannot be ignored that behind him is the whole of China. If it weren't for such a big market to support him, how could ST Group be able to thrive in the world?
And the field of communication technology is obviously the traditional advantage of the United States. In the past few years, China has not even made program-controlled switchboards domestically, and the military's communications equipment is still at the level of the US military in World War II, and the number of telephone doors in the country may not even be comparable to the number of New York cities. How is it possible for such a country to achieve a comprehensive surpass of American communication technology?
Therefore, behind Tietong mobile phone, it must be Hu Wenhai's consistent solution, using ideas to make up for technical shortcomings.
As long as you absorb his ideas, it is not a problem to transcend them.
Just allowing himself to get a valuable sample of his mobile phone must be Hu Wenhai's most serious mistake.
That's what Louis believed before.
But things don't always go along with his script.
Sven Bai's face darkened a little, he nodded, and frowned: "The director of the technical and engineering department of this mobile phone gave me a very detailed report. If his conclusions are not wrong, the Chinese are at least ten years ahead of us in this regard. β
"Ten years!"
Louis's voice was sharp like fingernails scratching the blackboard, and his eyes widened like Fan Shaohuang.
He has always been proud of his baritone full of calm personality.
"How is this possible?" Louis looked incredulous.
"Yes, that's what I said to Kane. β
Kane was the head of engineering at Qualcomm, and Louis nodded, barely quiet for Swinbeth's explanation.
"This phone has a very strange antenna, and we have been working on it for a long time. It's etched into the inside of the phone's case, a design that inspired Kane, and indeed, we never seemed to think we could place the antenna sideways. However, with the deepening of research, we found that the antenna of the Chinese, we can not imitate, because as long as the antenna parameters are slightly adjusted, or some parameters of the RF IC are changed, the acceptance effect will immediately appear a huge decline. β
"This meansβ"
Louis took a deep breath and said in disbelief: "This shows that the Chinese have a set of formulas, specifically for the optimization formula of this etched antenna." Without this formula, we would not be able to use this antenna method. β
"That's right, the Chinese's mobile phones are designed based on this antenna. With this antenna, they can distinguish more sensitive signals and can transmit at less power, which comes with smaller batteries and longer battery life. Good antenna design allows them to optimize the algorithm of the baseband chip, and the same processor can provide more computing power, so that more complex operating system ......"
"It's just an antenna design technology, it's more interesting to see the railway information network that they integrate into their mobile phones. Audio communication is just the beginning of the second generation of wireless communication technology, and data communication is the future. And this future is now being put in front of us by the Chinese. β
"After our tests, Chinese mobile phones have not only call function, they also have 64K/s data communication capabilities. The railway information network is actually very similar to some of the network technologies that are in the laboratory, in short......"
Swainbai didn't know how many times he shook his head and sighed today: "If we want to develop such a product on our own, ten years is a more reasonable time." β
Louis asked unwillingly: "Then now that we have the physical object of this mobile phone of the Chinese, is it difficult to fight against them?"
"Again, it will take time, maybe not 10 years. Swain pursed his lips and hesitated, "Maybe it's five years, maybe three years, Kane didn't give me an accurate message." β
Louis took a breath of cold air: "That is, even the most optimistic estimates, the Chinese will dominate the mobile phone market for three years?"
"Not necessarily. β
Swainbai waved his hand: "We still have an advantage, and the mall is not just about competing in technology." There are too many technologically advanced but commercially failed things in the world, and we don't mind having another ST group. β
"Oh, the president must already have a way to deal with the new technology group?"
"Well, don't you think it's strange that the Chinese have such advanced products, but there is still no news coming out?"
"Maybe it's a secret R&D strategy, isn't that strange?"
"It's strange!" Swainbai finally showed a slight smile: "What product is already so mature, and it still needs to be kept secret? Can it be sold on Chinese trains, is it so difficult that it can't be advertised on TV? But the Chinese just don't do it!"
"There's some interesting information here, like ......."
