"Mr. Hu, this is a senior assistant at Qualcomm in the United States, Mr. Louis. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

It could only be Wu Xiaoyu who spoke, and under the urging of Hu Wenhai, he led Luis and Meng Shuiyin out of the previous room.

There is a big locust tree in the courtyard outside, and I don't know when a few deck chairs were placed, and there is even lemonade that has been brewed, and ice cubes are placed in it, just looking at it makes people feel cold.

"This is Mr. Louis's translator, Meng Shuiyin. ”

"Mengshuiyin is a top student at UC San Diego, and he also majored in electronic communications. ”

Wu Xiaoyu's introduction made Meng Shuiyin a little complacent, and the San Diego branch was also famous after all. Although she is certainly not as rich as Hu Wenhai in terms of social status and wealth, it is necessary to talk about the wealth of knowledge and the thickness of life......

Mengshuiyin, who has always regarded himself as a future elite, has never been unconfident.

Hu Wenhai may have some kind of special potential or opportunity, but after all, he is just a high school student. When it comes to the depth of knowledge and the influence of the academic atmosphere of the world's top universities, Meng Shuiyin feels that he also has a reason to be proud.

"Hello Mr. Hu, our international students in the United States often mention you. Meng Shuiyin smiled proudly: "You are an example for us to learn from and the direction to follow, I am so lucky to meet you today." ”

"Oh, let's all sit down. ”

Hu Wenhai didn't raise his head, sat down on the recliner and picked up a glass of lemonade and drank it with a snort.

The little girl had something to say, an example to learn from and a direction to follow, and obviously felt that she could one day reach the same heights.

In this regard, Hu Wenhai could only laugh at it.

If Yumesuin Miku can really reach the heights she wants, it will be a good thing for anyone. If she can't, there's no need to be offended by her remarks.

In the end, it's just the mood of the students, and good things come.

"Qualcomm, for me, the most important thing is one thing. ”

Hu Wenhai said in Chinese: "I can share the CDMA market with Qualcomm, but you should be aware of your identity, which is the pawn of ST Group to master the technology of the communications industry." ”

Meng Shuiyin translated Hu Wenhai's words to Louis, and such an unceremonious speech immediately made his face change slightly.

He opened his mouth first, thinking quickly in his mind about how to refute Hu Wenhai's excessive demand.

However, he was stunned for a moment, then closed his mouth and sighed slightly.

The current Qualcomm is not the Qualcomm of twenty years later.

Historically, twenty years later, Qualcomm is the holder of the CDMA patent, and it is a patent giant that the entire communications industry cannot bypass. The patented platform formed through patent bundling makes it impossible for any communication equipment and operator to bypass it.

As long as you lie down, you can earn a hegemon.

But that's by no means now.

Although CDMA technology has been developed that can be put into commercial applications, this is actually when Qualcomm is most vulnerable.

CDMA does have great advantages over GSM, but those advantages are just "in the mirror".

Compared with the GSM standard, which is maturing, CDMA does not have much advantage at this time. The bandwidth, performance and system of communication are not higher than the GSM standard jointly launched by more than a dozen large international enterprise groups.

Being able to convince the U.S. Radio Commission to adopt CDMA technology as a standard to be promoted in the U.S. is already the limit of Qualcomm's capabilities. If it wants to confront the GSM alliance in the world, Qualcomm at this time does not even dare to think about it.

On the contrary, because of a large amount of scientific research investment and research costs, the profits brought by CDMA technology have not been seen for a long time.

Qualcomm's internal operations at this time are facing a lot of pressure.

Compared with the Xinke Group, which is backed by the world's richest man, Qualcomm, a name that will be a household name for many people in the future, is now not even qualified to communicate with Hu Wenhai on an equal footing.

No matter how much he dodges this question, Louis must realize at this moment that although Qualcomm and ST belong to China and the United States, the gap between them is as huge as that between China and the United States -- but the advantages and disadvantages are reversed.

Undoubtedly, in this negotiation, Qualcomm is at an absolute disadvantage.

Just as China was in 1990 when it was weak against American aircraft carriers.

"Mr. Hu Wenhai, Qualcomm is very sincere in cooperating with both sides on CDMA technology. ”

Meng Shuiyin translated Louis's words: "It's just that we hope that this is an equal cooperation, and Qualcomm must ensure that its fundamental interests will not be harmed." ”

"Qualcomm wants to get the transfer of CDMA-related patents from ST Group, or at least the authorization. We can pay a considerable price for this, and we will never lose you in this transaction. ”

The statement to Louis is almost equivalent to a declaration of surrender.

That is to say, as long as he can get the patent of CDMA, Hu Wenhai can open his mouth widely, and Qualcomm is ready to cut meat.

However, for Hu Wenhai, Qualcomm at this time is like chicken ribs.

"With all due respect, Qualcomm simply can't afford to pay this price. ”

Hu Wenhai shook his head: "According to the report of ST Group's strategic analysis agency, ST Group is confident that it will support CDMA technology to become the third generation of wireless communication technology. For this reason, even if it is a competition with the GSM Alliance, we have no worries. ”

"As long as our strategic goals are met, CDMA technology will bring tens of billions of dollars in benefits to ST Group. I don't think Qualcomm will be able to make up for the loss of CDMA technology in any case. ”

Louis's face froze, he knew that what Hu Wenhai said was the truth.

The development potential of GSM technology is limited, and the future will definitely be the world of CDMA, which is the consensus of all senior executives of Qualcomm.

If it can monopolize the huge market of wireless communication technology protocols in the future, Qualcomm will have the capital to set up a patent platform and engage in patent bundling and licensing.

Once this business is done, it is not surprising that tens of billions of dollars will be made with Qualcomm's shameless efforts to collect patent fees.

It can turn a little-known small company into a Fortune 500 business giant in ten years.

But the more this happens, the more Louis can only misspeak.

Mr. Hu Wenhai is too optimistic, and China needs a lot of investment to develop CDMA technology, and the risks are especially huge. Rather than taking the risk of competing with more than a dozen international telecommunications industry giants in the future, it is better to pocket the current results, and Qualcomm will do its best to ...... within the scope of the license."

Before Louis could finish speaking, his words were interrupted by Hu Wenhai.

Hu Wenhai asked a question, which made Meng Shuiyin and Louis stand together.

"Does Mr Lewis think ST Group can't afford to take that risk?"

Yes, with a capital of at least $20 to 30 billion, is it difficult for ST Group to afford the risk of failure in a technology rollout?

Don't underestimate people too much!

"What's more, for broadband CDMA technology, Qualcomm probably hasn't studied the patents applied for by ST Group, right?"

Hu Wenhai laughed confidently, he banged on the table with his hand, and talked eloquently.

"Direct spread spectrum technology, multi-channel carrier, DSFDD duplex, asynchronous transmission WeChat element transmission technology, adaptive antenna and microcell. These are a series of new technologies pioneered by ST Group in the field of broadband code division multiple access technology. Qualcomm may think that Xinke is just a patent troll, using the patent trap to get a piece of the pie from Qualcomm. But in fact, that's just a by-product of technological development, and our ability in CDMA technology is much higher than that of Qualcomm, and you can't even imagine how far CDMA technology has developed in the hands of Xinke. ”

"For example, in the selection of spread spectrum codes, we use the same M sequence, and distinguish different users by different phase biases. This, I believe Qualcomm still hasn't solved yet......"

As a senior executive of Qualcomm, Louis certainly has a very in-depth study of CDMA technology.

But in fact, the CDMA product developed by Qualcomm in 1990 is still a 2G-level narrowband communication technology.

These are wideband CDMA technologies in Hu Wenhai, which may not be the same as narrowband CDMA technologies at first glance.

But just as Intel's CPUs are backwards compatible, these wideband CDMA technologies actually contain a lot of key patents for narrowband CDMA, so they can establish a patent trap for Qualcomm so perfectly.

Qualcomm certainly wants to be able to develop broadband CDMA technology that goes far beyond GSM levels, but that is not something that can be achieved overnight.

Qualcomm scientists estimate that it will take at least a decade to develop full-fledged broadband CDMA technology.

Among the key research routes, the technical points mentioned by Hu Wenhai are the top priorities.

For example, direct spread spectrum and multi-channel carrier, the former with DSFDD duplex technology, can achieve good compatibility and interoperability of CDMA and GSM networks, and is the key technology for broadband CDMA to replace GSM. Although the latter is not compatible with GSM, it is in the same vein as CDMA's narrowband technology and is more technically mature. Speaking of asynchronous transmission and WeChat meta transmission, this can be said to be the basis for the realization of CDMA broadband, but Qualcomm's technical team is still arguing about the technical route of implementation, and even a research direction has not yet been determined.

Meng Shuiyin stumbled and translated the professional terms that kept popping out of Hu Wenhai's mouth into English that Louis could understand. The more she translated, the more surprised she became.

In her opinion, a domestic boss only needs to know how to make money, and he always seems to care less about technology.

But that's clearly not the case with Hu Wenhai.

The richest man in the world with only a high school education actually refutes the argument that reading is useless.

Look at the technical vocabulary he uttered, and he has a clear idea of the direction of technology development. A business leader who doesn't understand technology will never be able to get into the market so accurately. It's hard not to believe that he hasn't studied technology himself, or at least has to have a very detailed understanding of it.

Obviously, a person's knowledge and ability are not only linked to his academic qualifications.

Hu Wenhai talked for a long time, until he drank a whole glass of chilled lemonade with a dry mouth, which was considered fun.

He leaned back against the chaise longue, his eyes half-squinted comfortably, and asked with a smirk, "How is it, Mr. Louis." Does Qualcomm still think that ST knows less about CDMA technology than any other company?"

"In fact, I can say responsibly that ST Group's research on CDMA technology is the most in-depth!"
