Iraq's invasion of Kuwait launched by Saddam Hussein is attracting widespread attention in the international community. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the very day of Iraq's invasion, US President George W. Bush immediately declared that Iraq's military actions "posed a real threat" to US national interests, and immediately froze all US assets in Iraq and Kuwait.

This move was so fast that it didn't even need to type a draft, and it invaded and declared "a threat" to US national interests on the same day.

Under normal circumstances, at least one investigation team should be formed, analyze the information at hand, and then have two meetings to discuss and discuss, right?

For Bush, it is clear that Saddam Hussein would invade Kuwait for a long time ago.

Of course, Saddam Hussein had a way to take his own death, and he really couldn't rely on others.

On 2 August, the day after Iraq invaded Kuwait, two US aircraft carriers, the USS Eisenhower and the USS Independence, were ready for war and left for the area of operations.

On the same day, the UN Security Council voted 14 in favor and 0 against, and adopted Resolution 660, which called for Iraq's withdrawal.

On 3 August, the United States and the Soviet Union issued a "Joint Statement," demanding that Iraq "unconditionally withdraw its troops from Kuwait" and "fully restore Kuwait's sovereignty, legitimate regime, and territorial integrity." In the eyes of Gorbachev, America's best friend, it is obvious that "I should perform with you, and I will try my best to perform".

Immediately after that, the Arab League announced its condemnation of Iraq, and the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 661 to impose economic sanctions on Iraq.

On 4 August, Bush signed the "Desert Shield" operation plan, and 2,300 troops of the 82nd Airborne Division of the US Army flew to Saudi Arabia......

Around Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, the Americans were clearly prepared. A series of combination punches came out, and at this time it was already a dilemma for Saddam.

It is possible to face the US military directly, and to retreat is to lose a big defeat. Not only did the dollar not be caught, but it would also face UN sanctions.

This is too difficult for Saddam Hussein, who has not made any gains in the Iran-Iraq war.

He decided, stick with it and gamble again!

Just as the war in the Middle East is rekindling, China on the other side of Asia is also attracting the world's attention.

......

Luis's All Nippon Airways flight landed at the Imperial Capital Airport, and he looked at this strange country with some surprise.

He had heard Chinese names many times, such as the cheap shirts in Walmart supermarkets and the exotic "Thousands of Purples" cosmetics on his wife's dressing table. For example, when he opened his Motorola pager, the rechargeable battery of "madeinchina" in it.

More often than not, the word "China" is too far away for Louis.

Far enough for him to think that he would never have any real connection with China in his life.

Who would have thought that the world would make people like this, how could he, a senior executive of an American high-tech company, go to China?

Things have to start at the beginning of 1990.

Well, maybe it had to start a little earlier.

In San Diego in 1985, seven people gathered at the home of Dr. Owen Jacobs. These people have a vision that ordinary people can't match, and they see a new continent that has yet to be discovered.

The abbreviation of QUALity-COMMunications is QUALCOMM, pronounced in Chinese, which is "Qualcomm".

Qualcomm's first commercial product was the OmniTRACS system for the trucking industry, capable of mobile communications using commercial satellites.

On this basis, Qualcomm developed the third generation of mobile communication technology, CDMA.

With the unique technical advantages of CDMA, Qualcomm has become the emperor of the entire mobile communication industry. By bundling patents and licensing platforms, we have firmly grasped the upstream of the communication industry.

But that's at least twenty years away.

In the late eighties, the Telecommunications Industry Association of the United States endorsed a digital communication technology called Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), and just three months later, just when the industry was still generally skeptical, Qualcomm had introduced Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology for wireless data transmission.

This is undoubtedly a generational technology, and the potential of CDMA for digital wireless communication is amazing. Qualcomm, in particular, had already spent huge resources at this time to lobby the US radiocommunication standard to adopt CDMA.

Just when things were about to happen, Qualcomm suddenly received a fax.

A fax is a summons, a court summons.

China's ST Group sued Qualcomm in the United States for patent theft.

At first, Qualcomm rejected the charge.

What are you kidding, I, an American high-tech company, will steal the technology of your Chinese company?

Who would believe that if you sue an American company in the United States for infringing on the patents of Chinese companies?

However, when Qualcomm inquired about the patents detailed in the fax, General Manager Sven Bai's face suddenly turned white.

This TM cheats!

Qualcomm's current patents in the CDMA field are all covered by ST Group's patents in a wider range of areas.

As long as ST Group is willing, it can apply to the court to invalidate Qualcomm's CDMA patent at any time.

After more than a month of working behind closed doors with an entire team of well-known patent lawyers, Swain White came to the conclusion that the patent barrier was virtually impenetrable. The only possible route is to abandon CDMA technology and move to other areas.

But the problem is that CDMA technology can still become the mainstream technology of 3G when it is monopolized by Qualcomm, which has its own unique advantages. Its code division multiple access makes it easy to expand the bandwidth in wireless communication and use the very tight frequency resources of wireless communication.

In the process of transmitting information to different users, CDMA technology modulates the signal that needs to be transmitted with a pseudo-random code with a bandwidth much greater than the signal bandwidth.

To put it simply, imagine the message as a car. Time division multiple access means that only one car is allowed to pass on a road at a certain time, and when the car reaches its destination, the road is assigned to another car for use.

The yard division multiple access is like a real road, the car has a license plate number, even if there are many cars running on the road, as long as the license plate number is correct, there is no need to worry about not knowing its destination.

Relatively speaking, it is natural that code division multiple access can make more efficient use of the road.

In the same way, in the case of limited radio resources, of course, code division multiple access can make full use of bandwidth and is more suitable for wireless communication mode.

This is why Qualcomm is confident that it will be able to convince the Radio Commission to accept CDMA as the standard for radio communications in the United States.

But if you want to reinvest resources in the development of other technologies, not to mention this embarrassment of self-defeating, how much capital does Qualcomm have?

Qualcomm's development of CDMA is also standing on the shoulders of giants, and the research and development of CDMA in the American academic community has never stopped.

On this basis, Qualcomm has invested huge resources to achieve the commercial transformation of CDMA results.

If this kind of "gambling on the fortune of the country" happens again, no one dares to say that it will definitely succeed.

Pretty much the same, in this world, Sven White probably best understands the feelings of Saddam Hussein in the face of the US military.

It is difficult to ride a tiger, and it is a dilemma.

However, Qualcomm is more fortunate than Saddam Hussein, and behind it stands the invincible United States.

After the summons was served, when Qualcomm was in despair, ST Group abruptly withdrew the lawsuit.

Qualcomm's shareholders couldn't help but celebrate, glad they had escaped.

Sven Bai was keenly aware of the fact that ST Group did not want to exterminate Qualcomm in the act of suing first and then withdrawing the lawsuit.

ST Group is a Chinese company, which is their biggest weakness.

The U.S. communications industry will never put such deadly patent standards in the hands of Chinese companies.

It's as if Chinese telecommunications companies have to insert a foot in the CDMA standard anyway, and insist on making three standards: TDSCDMA, CDMA2000 and WCDMA. Whether it is to defend the domestic communications industry or to compete for power and profit, in short, no one will let foreign companies take the lead in such a key position.

When it comes to 4G, fortunately, Huawei has stepped forward, so that domestic communication companies will not hold all their lifeblood in the hands of others. When it comes to formulating 5G standards, Huawei has become a member of the banker, and it can't play without Huawei.

Such an enterprise is a great enterprise worthy of admiration!

Therefore, based on the Chinese background of ST Group, it has no say in the technology of the communications industry in the United States.

In order to reap the benefits of CDMA technology, ST Group is indispensable for the cooperation of Qualcomm.

As long as there is value in being used, there is hope for Qualcomm.

As Swinbeth's right-hand man, Louis deserved to get this glorious and difficult task - to fight the front.

Just as the Middle East was clouded by war, Louis flew from the United States to the imperial capital of China. What lies ahead of him is a very difficult task.

The rise and fall of Qualcomm can be said to be all pinned on him.

After studying all the public information about ST and Hu Wenhai, Swainbai decided to bypass the low-level departments of ST and try to contact Hu Wenhai directly.

Obviously, as an emerging group, the absolute power of ST Group is in the hands of Hu Wenhai.

As for the analysis of the past cases of ST Group, the patent barriers to Qualcomm this time are too similar to Hu Wenhai's methods.

Finding someone else is just a waste of time, and only by convincing Hu Wenhai can we solve the sword of Damocles hanging over Qualcomm's head.

From the U.S. branch of ST to the Chinese head office, and then to Hu Wenhai's desk, it doesn't have to be when.

At this time, Swainbai keenly spotted an opportunity.

During this time, Hu Wenhai will definitely be found in the imperial capital. As long as you seize the opportunity, you may be able to finalize the matter smoothly. But this opportunity is not so easy to seize, because Hu Wenhai must be found from more than 10 million people, which is really a matter of finding a needle in a haystack.

What's more, at this time, a large number of foreigners poured in to the imperial capital.

After all, the 1990 Asian Games in the imperial capital are about to begin!
