Chapter 281: Communications Giant Qualcomm!
"The CDMA technology is not yet mature, and the GSM technology is about to form a standard, so Sprint can consider building a GSM base station first!" Li Zetian said.
Edgar Carr said, "Well, but, Mr. Li, there is another question here, what if the American mobile phone manufacturers do not develop mobile phones that support the GSM network? You know, GSM is a digital mobile communication standard, and at present Motorola occupies more than 70 percent of the market share, and the mobile phones they develop only support cellular mobile communication systems based on analog technology! If we spend a huge amount of money to build GSM base stations in the United States, I am afraid that we will end up with huge losses!
Li Zetian said in a light tone: "You don't need to worry about this, if Motorola is too arrogant and sticks to the first-generation communication system, it will already be eliminated." Consumers decide the market, and if we can provide better services to consumers, we will naturally be liked by consumers. I think there should always be a phone manufacturer supporting Sprint. Here, I might as well tell you that the next step, I'm going to let Apple develop mobile phones!"
Edgar Carr was slightly startled, then nodded, "Okay, Mr. Li, I see!"
On the way back home, Li Zetian confessed to Dongfang Yuqin: "Dongfang Yuqin, you send someone to collect information about CDMA technology research talents. ”
Although Qualcomm was founded in 1985, it is only January 12, and there is a high probability that Qualcomm has not yet been created. Instead of looking for a company, it is better to find talents in this area and build the company yourself.
Dongfang Yuqin smiled and said, "Okay, Mr· Li。 ”
"Also, by the way, register a company called Qualcomm. Li Zetian added.
Dongfang Yuqin nodded, and immediately took out the Motorola mobile phone and started making calls.
Li Zetian glanced at the "bricks" and thought to himself that in the nineties, this thing should be outdated.
……
……
One afternoon a week later, Dongfang Yuqin came to Li Zetian's study.
“Mr· Li, Qualcomm has been successfully registered. This is CDMA technical talent information, please take a look!"
Li Zetian bowed, took a document, and looked at it.
After a while, Li Zetian raised his head and said, "In this way, this Dr. Owen Jacobs is the pioneer and authority of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) digital wireless technology!"
"Yes, Mr. Li。 Dongfang Yuqin paused and said, "In addition, Franklin Antonio, Adelia Coffman, Andre Cohen, Klein Gilhousen, Andre Viterbi, and Harvey hite, these six people have recently been close to Dr. Owen Jacobs, and from what I know, they may be planning to set up a company!"
Li Zetian is not surprised, this Dr. Owen Jacobs is probably one of the founders of Qualcomm, it seems that they are indeed going to establish the company, but they have not yet made a final decision.
"Well, I know, let's hire them before they set up the company. In addition, there are many CDMA technical talents on the list, and the development of DMA has lagged far behind GSM, so I have to invest heavily in trying to catch up and catch !!up, and then catch up."
"Okay, Mr. Li!”
Dongfang Yuqin answered, and went out to carry out Li Zetian's order.
Li Zetian did not hide that Qualcomm was founded by him, and with the help of his fame, it was much easier to recruit talents. When the other party heard that it was Qualcomm, the boss behind it was Chronos· Li, the company has strong financial resources and a strong background, so he immediately agreed.
In less than two weeks, Qualcomm has gathered thousands of engineers in wireless communication technology.
Dr. Owen Jacobs originally wanted to create a company with others and develop CDMA, but when he saw that Li Zetian had established Qualcomm and recruited so many talents, he knew that several of them would make a company to compete with Li Zetian's company, and in the end they would definitely die ugly. On the contrary, joining Qualcomm at this moment is the first batch of employees of the company and will enjoy a large share of options in the future. In particular, Dr. Owen Jacobs, whom Li Zetian hired as the company's CEO and chief scientist, is so good that it is impossible to refuse!
Subsequently, Li Zetian took time to go to Qualcomm to meet with everyone.
The arrival of Li Zetian made the employees extremely excited and excited.
"Hello everyone, and welcome to Qualcomm!"
“Chronos· Hello Li!!"
"I hope you can have a good time working in Qualcomm in the future, and everyone will work together to develop Qualcomm into a Fortune 500 company!!," Li Zetian smiled, "and I believe that Qualcomm has this potential, I am very optimistic about it, I hope you will not let me down!"
When everyone heard this, they were very excited.
"Wow, Chronos· Li actually thinks that Qualcomm has the potential to become a Fortune 500 company? In his vision, he can't go wrong!"
“Chronos· Li has created so many legends, and the companies under his name are by no means ordinary people! Gene Technology, Apple, Microsoft, Intel, Flamingo, Galaxy Network, Sun Microsystems, and so on, which is not a Fortune 500 company? Now it seems that we have really made the right choice to join Qualcomm!
“……”
Li Zetian smiled, glanced at Dr. Jacobs beside him, and followed him to the office.
……
It is impossible for Qualcomm to make such a big move without attracting the attention of the media and the industry.
People are very puzzled by Li Zetian's approach and are very unfamiliar with CDMA technology. At present, analog technology cellular phones are very popular, what is the point of engaging in CDMA?
The CEO of Motorola said: "Motorola will only develop cellular mobile communication mobile phones based on analog technology, and many countries have just established the first generation of mobile communication networks, so in a short period of time, Motorola will not consider other wireless communication networks! Li invested heavily in the development of CDMA, which was obviously a bad decision!"
Motorola, as a monopolist in the mobile phone manufacturing industry, represents authority and is equivalent to a death sentence for CDMA.
Many reporters wanted to interview Li Zetian what he thought, but it was a pity that Li Zetian did not give them this opportunity.
Li Zetian also read the speech of the CEO of Motorola, he is very dismissive of this, the technology industry, the speed of technology upgrading is very fast, GSM standards are about to be established, Li Zetian still thinks that the development of CDMA is slow, it is difficult to compete with GSM market. Motorola was indifferent, but laughed at it, which is really stupid. It is no wonder that in the nineties, Motorola was overtaken by Nokia, and there is nothing wrong with that.
At this time, Li Zetian came to Apple and called Jobs and Wozniak.
"Have you read all the news lately?" asked Li Zetian with a smile.
The two nodded, and Jobs glanced at Li Zetian and said, "Look, Qualcomm has caused heated discussions in the media and the industry!"
"Hmm. ”
Li Zetian nodded, and then said, "Motorola believes that CDMA is not necessary to develop, and they will not develop the corresponding mobile phone." I think that since Motorola is willing to give up such a good opportunity, it would be better for Apple to do it!!"
