Chapter 1376: Bell Labs
In order for an electronics company to develop, it must have its own core technology.
In the future, Huaguo's companies have been repeatedly suppressed by foreign companies, one of the reasons is that they do not have core technology, and everything in their hands is someone else's, so there is no way to compete with them.
The same goes for the very thoughtful Xiaomi company.
Therefore, Rebus, an amazing and brilliant person, while developing his own technology, on the other hand, began to take the road of smart home products, and laid out home intelligence, which is a very smart place.
Although Huawei has been criticized by many people, they feel that their start is not very clean.
But you have to say that Huawei is the company with the most technology accumulation in China, and it is also the first company in China with a series of advanced electronic technology patents.
In 2018, when the United States formulated the 5G network standard, Huawei became the 5G standard with its strong 5G patents.
Including companies in the United States, they have to recognize Huawei's identity, because if you want to develop network technology, you must constantly upgrade, and after 4G, 5G, you can't avoid a series of Huawei's core patents - just like we can't avoid the previous 3G network standard, if you don't accept it, then you don't play.
For this reason, Huaguo has long been ready to develop and use 5G technology to completely get rid of the influence of other companies on Huaguo's network communications.
You know, at the end of 2013, Huaguo began to issue 4G licenses to the three major operators, and by 2018, it began to actively pilot 5G networks, at best, it will take 5 years!
Upgrading to a 5G network in five years is not necessary from a technical point of view or from a practical point of view.
The 4G network can be used for at least another 5 years, let alone upgrading.
After all, the transmission speed and operation mode of 5G are too advanced, and now our mobile phones, computers, etc., cannot use such a good network at all.
To put it bluntly, it's a waste to use.
But why is China so eager to upgrade and implement 5G networks?
Isn't it because the 5G network is our own?
Only with the technology that you have mastered is the most reliable and can ensure smooth development!
For this, 4G, which was enough to use, can only be wasted.
In the past, there was no way, Yin Jun could only look at the information, watch the news, and by the way, contribute a little bit of his meager strength - buy domestic electronic products as much as possible.
But now it is different, Yin Jun stands on the territory of the United States, and has more than 30 years of experience and forward-looking knowledge than the people now.
And Yin Jun still has money.
Very rich.
He still has HSBC's $2.5 billion line of credit, and Sumitomo Bank's $1.5 billion has not been used up.
It is more than enough to use these funds to buy some high-tech companies in the United States, especially laboratories with patents for R&D technology.
Anyway, at this time, people have not yet realized how much impact those semiconductor, communication technology, digital switch and other patents have on the future work and life.
Yin Jun is interested in Bell Labs, which can be called the symbol of the American laboratory.
Bell Labs holds a large number of patents in communications, semiconductors, digital switching equipment, and network construction.
It is the most suitable laboratory institution for future development that Yin Jun likes.
And their current R&D strength is also the strongest, even if Apple, Google, Huawei and other companies rise in the future, Bell Labs' communication technology research and development will not be outdated.
Bell Labs has a long history as part of the Bell Telephone Company a hundred years ago.
Speaking of the American Bell Telephone Company, everyone may not be familiar with it, but if you talk about its later name, you may know it.
It came to be known as the American Telegraph and Telephone Company.
The abbreviation in English is:
AT&T。
This is the largest telecommunications company in the United States, which is equivalent to China Mobile in China in terms of mobile communications, and in terms of telecommunications business, it is equivalent to China Telecom in China.
The world's three major telecommunications companies are AT&T, Japan's NTT, and the United States' Verizon, and China Mobile can only rank behind them.
This is still the size of the US AT&T Company after three breakups.
From this, we can see how awesome the US Telephone and Telegraph Company existed before the split.
Basically, it is the union of the three giants of China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom!
And then it's not just that, at the beginning of 2016, it announced the acquisition of Time Warner Group for nearly $90 billion, causing a sensation all over the world.
If this is the case, Disney is not worth mentioning in front of the merged company.
It's just that the U.S. judiciary thinks that they will form a monopoly and order that some departments must be split up in order to complete the merger.
The US Telegraph and Telephone Company was not a vegetarian, and for this reason in the following years, it had been fighting with the US judiciary and making a lot of noise.
In the face of the supergiants who dare to directly smash the US judiciary, it stands to reason that Yin Jun should not have the strength to pull out his teeth.
But it's not that simple.
In fact, Yin Jun has always wanted to buy Bell Labs, and he has always asked Claudi to inquire about it.
Because the teenager remembered that the last Bell Labs fell into the hands of Alcatel-Lucent.
Regardless of how it was sold, as long as other companies could buy it, it would prove that Bell Labs was not for sale.
As early as two years ago, he told Yin Jun that there was no need to worry, and now the American Telegraph and Telephone Company is in great trouble and is facing an antitrust investigation.
Speaking of the anti-monopoly investigation in the United States, it is terrifying for all multinational companies.
The unstoppable and invincible Standard Oil Company was split into dozens of companies in this way, and the Rockefeller family flourished and gradually faded out of people's sight.
Even Microsoft, more than a decade later, was almost broken up because of antitrust laws.
At present, because the business of the US Telegraph and Telephone Company is too large, it has completely monopolized the telephone business in the whole of the United States, so the US judicial X has filed a lawsuit demanding the split-up of this huge group.
By 1983, the matter was almost settled, and it would be announced at the end of the year at the latest.
According to the vast number of powerful reporters, this time the US Telegraph and Telephone Company was completely split.
They will be split into a telegraph and telephone company in the United States, which specializes in long-distance calls, and regional telephone operators in seven regions of the United States.
The Super Mac Group Company, which has assets of hundreds of billions of dollars, has more than 100 subsidiaries, and how to allocate them is a very complicated thing.
Such a large-scale split will definitely trigger a series of games.
There must be a lot of insider trading in this.
As long as the person in charge is identified and enough benefits and conditions are guaranteed, then Yin Jun has a great possibility of obtaining Bell Labs.
But for this form of split, Claudi also consulted industry veterans, who believe that it is basically impossible for Yin Jun to obtain a complete Bell Labs.
Surely AT&T will keep the patents and R&D personnel they need.
For example, telephone business, communication transmission, etc.
Even what Colaudi didn't say, Yin Jun knew, the mobile phone research and development personnel, I'm afraid most of them will be left.
Not only Yin Jun's Kirin mobile phone has already started sales in Xiangjiang, but also because Motorola has announced that its first commercial cellular mobile phone will start trial operation in Chicago in the next few months.
As long as the U.S. Telegraph and Telephone Company is not stupid, it will definitely develop this new business.
Regardless of whether the mobile phone can succeed in the future, it is an extension of communication itself, and it happens to be related to the telephone business, so its R&D personnel can't run away.
However, Yin Jun was not too worried.
As long as he has the framework of Bell Laboratories in his hands, even if the R&D personnel who developed mobile phone communications and cellular communications before are gone, Yin Jun can also use the name of Bell Labs to recruit excellent R&D personnel to come in.
Not to mention anything else, there are a lot of such talents in Motorola's headquarters.
In fact, there is not much difference in the strength of many communication talents now, and everyone's basic skills are very solid.
What they lack is often an inspiration, an opportunity.
Yin Jun happens to be good at this.
He can give the direction of research and development very accurately, can tell them the concept of the finished product, and then let them roll it out.
In terms of scientific and technological research and development, if you go the wrong way, it is a very serious problem, and basically you are an era behind others.
Apple's R&D in the 80s and 90s is a clear example.
If it weren't for Qiao's helper coming back and actively leading them to change the direction of research and development, I am afraid that in the future, there will be no such excellent Apple mobile phones in people's hands.
Just imagine, if Yin Jun goes to tell Qiao Gang Leader now, talking about the future direction of smartphone research and development, and talking about the benefits of various smart devices in the future, will he still be kicked out of Apple?
I don't dare to say that Apple is reborn from the ashes, but surely in the future they will be the first company to enter the field of intelligence.
The same goes for Kylin Communications.
In addition to letting them pile up various patents and actively develop various thin and powerful components, Yin Jun also told them the concept of MediaTek's "mobile phone baseband integrated solution".
Even if it takes five or ten years to work hard, in the end, Yin Jun is sure that this "mobile phone integrated solution" must be the first to be made by Kylin Communications.
At that time, mobile phones will really become cheaper and more popular, and even rural residents with average incomes can afford to use mobile phones.
Therefore, it is expected that the opportunity is Yin Jun's biggest weapon.
As long as he gets Bell Labs, then he has the basis to turn the ideas in his head into reality.
Not to mention, Ericsson has not yet begun to invest in the research and development of high-performance signal base stations, as well as CDMA networks, 3G network technology, optical fiber transmission technology, wireless IFI, smart chips, etc., these projects that will shine in the future, Yin Jun invested heavily in development, so that they are at least five years ahead of others, ten years ahead of the lead, can not lead the trend of technology patents?
In the world of the future, patents are the most profitable things!
If you look at Qualcomm, it can earn tens of billions of dollars every year just by licensing patents.
In addition, the chips they sell themselves, which are exported to China alone, have surpassed oil imports in 2015 and become China's largest import.
Awesome, right?
A small chip can sell more than the oil that you need to use in your daily life at any time!
If Yin Jun masters the smart chip, then in the future, it will be exported to Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States, and won't it be the same as the price comparable to gold?
