Chapter 984:-for-tat
This life is very different from the last.
In the last life, since 1991, European telecommunications equipment companies led by Ericsson and Nokia have set up the first G** network on the European continent. Since then, they have been committed to the construction of this network, and by 2000, they have built a huge G** network in 162 countries or regions around the world, with more than 100 million users and a 75% share of the world's mobile communications market.
Correspondingly, Qualcomm in the United States applied CDMA to mobile communications two years earlier than Europe. It's a pity that Motorola, the largest mobile communication equipment company in the United States at that time, did not support digital mobile communications, because their analog mobile phones and analog mobile networks were too popular at that time, and they belonged to the realm of lying down and counting money.
And Europe regards CDMA as a flood beast and suppresses it in every way. Although Huaxia also introduced CDMA from the United States, the purpose of the introduction was not to help the United States occupy the market, but to introduce competitors to G** and force Europe to reduce prices.
As a result, G** devices and networks in Europe have grown by leaps and bounds, while CDMA devices and networks in the United States have survived.
In order to be different from the CDMA of the United States, he named it CDMA98, which means that it is naturally more advanced than the CDMA of the United States, in fact, it is true, the number and quality of patents applied by Feixun Group are higher than that of Qualcomm in the United States.
In order to win a way to survive and compete with Europe, Qualcomm had to contract with Feixun Group to jointly launch the CDMA98 world mobile communication standard to the world, and under the active promotion of Feixun Group, the CDMA98 network was built at a faster speed than the G** network built in Europe.
In particular, Feixun Group has launched one after another beautiful and applicable digital mobile phones, which are far more popular with consumers than the G** digital mobile phones launched by Ericsson and Nokia in Europe, so that CDMA98 has comprehensively crushed G** in the world telecommunications market.
At present, the G** network only has some networks in Sweden, Finland, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia, and CDMA98 can be seen in most parts of the world, covering at least 10% of the world's land area, at least 30 times the area covered by G**.
Of course, because of time constraints, and because countries are still reluctant to shut down analog networks, there is still huge room for expansion of digital mobile networks.
Not to mention other countries, even in China, there are at least 90 percent of places without digital mobile communication signal coverage.
This is also the reason why Jiang Xinwei decided to speed up the supply of domestic digital mobile communication equipment on a large scale some time ago. In the past, in order to earn more foreign exchange, Feixun Group intentionally or unintentionally suppressed the sales of domestic networks, especially mobile phones, and sold most of the mobile phones abroad, and now it has begun to transfer to China.
However, the huge area to be covered is not the reason for the United States to forcibly promote the G** communication standard, but it should speed up the promotion of CDMA98 and speed up the construction of CDMA98 network. Every time you expand a CDMA98 network and add a batch of CDMA98 digital mobile phones, your American Qualcomm company will increase a large amount of revenue, why do you want to get mixed up with European countries, and make money with them is to make money, and to make money with our Feixun Group is not to make money?
What a bastard!
However, the problem cannot be solved by insults, and it is necessary to seriously find out the cause of this incident and find a targeted solution.
With the entry of Ren Zhenfei, Meng Xiaofeng, Wen Nianci and other executives into Beijing, the information obtained by Mayoni's side has slowly been gathered, and after summarizing, after the analysis of Jiang Xinwei, Ren Zhenfei, Meng Xiaofeng and others, they believe that the reasons why the Americans do this are likely to be three points:
First, put pressure on the WTO negotiations: if you don't compromise, we won't take you to play, we will play with Europe.
Second, to obtain benefits in Europe, to give Europe a piece of sugar in exchange for other benefits. Thirdly, they make excuses to make things difficult for us, and if we don't agree, they will offer other conditions.
Although their judgments are all based on the conclusion that "Yankees want to make cheap", and whether these three reasons are accurate is still up for debate, Jiang Xinwei believes that the error will not be very large. Because he knows that the Yankees are such hooligans, and they are so harmful to others and self-interested.
Guessing the Yankees' intentions, the rest [31] is how to break it.
Several people racked their brains and thought about it for a long time, but they couldn't think of any good way for a while. In their minds, the only thing they can do now is to file a lawsuit based on the contract signed with Qualcomm and demand them to pay liquidated damages. However, if Qualcomm is willing to pay liquidated damages according to the contract, Jiang Xinwei and they can only be dumbfounded.
After all, no one thought that Qualcomm would succumb to the pressure of the Yankees to promote the G** communication standard, which was simply to help their enemies, so when discussing the agreement, both parties did not pay too much attention to the amount of liquidated damages. According to the data reflected in Wen Nianzi: after a simple calculation, even if the legal department is judged to be in breach of contract in a lawsuit in the future, the amount of compensation will not exceed 10 billion US dollars.
10 billion dollars is a lot, that's relative to other companies, but when you think of the loss of Feixun Group, it's a drizzle. Because if G** is not forced, Feixun Group can earn at least $30 billion more from the telecommunications equipment market and the mobile phone market every year! The compensation of $10 billion is less than one-third.
What's more, lawsuits are not so easy to fight, people are not infringing, they are just going to promote another standard, it is difficult to say whether the lawsuit will win or not, and this lawsuit is not to be concluded in a short time, a lawsuit of this scale, it is common to fight for five years, and it is not uncommon to fight for ten years.
Even if Jiang Xinwei and the others win the lawsuit, they don't know how much manpower and material resources they have to invest.
The lawsuit does have to be fought, but it is not the best way to deal with the Yankees, nor can it be used as the only means.
But what is the best way to do it? A few people pondered.
Ren Zhenfei said depressedly: "These gringos just don't worry. Isn't it bad for everyone to make money in harmony? Why do we have to put one side down on our back? Some time ago, several of their mobile phone manufacturers joined forces to adopt price reduction measures in an attempt to suppress our mobile phone market. I scolded their mother, and they didn't let us live a peaceful life. ”
Seeing the benevolent Ren Zhenfei couldn't help but scold his mother, Jiang Xinwei smiled and said, "Mr. Ren, you have to be ready." The bigger our company, the more Yankees will have their tricks. There must be more disgusting things in the future. …… Well, since they are so preoccupied, then we will dig their foundation too!"
Ren Zhenfei and Meng Xiaofeng hurriedly asked, "How do you dig their foundation?"
