Perhaps Xiong Baizhou showed a strong personal charm in the conference room, or perhaps his proposal was in line with Qualcomm's next development plan, in short, Xiong Baizhou was highly valued and warmly welcomed when he came to Qualcomm's headquarters building for the second time.

"This is Mr. Kevin, one of our seven founding shareholders. Drake pointed to an American man in his 40s.

actually invited one of the "Qualcomm Seven King Kongs" over, Xiong Baizhou thought that his opinion was finally taken seriously.

"Long admiration, Professor Kevin. Xiong Baizhou greeted with a smile.

"You know me?" Kevin was a little strange, although he was one of the founding shareholders, he rarely appeared in business situations.

"You are a well-known doctor of communications at Stanford University, an expert in the world radio industry, and the head of my Aisheng Electronics Factory is still your fan. ”

This sentence is indeed true, Xiong Baizhou can know Qualcomm Seven King Kong, a large part of which is the result of Tao Youshan helping him popularize science.

Kevin smiled and nodded, but he was not very good at talking, he just sat down for a while and left, although he is one of the major shareholders but is not responsible for the daily affairs of the company, this time he was invited to come over just to reflect Qualcomm's attention to Xiong Baizhou, and the real business still needs to be negotiated by Drake and these managers.

In fact, the business of 100,000 chips does not need Drake to go out in person, but the promotion and application of CDMA technology in China in the future, as well as the prospect of competition with GSM are the focus of attention.

Xiong Baizhou was still quite envious after seeing Kevin leave neatly, people really did not participate in the company's business development, and the United States is indeed ahead of China in the development of the professional manager system.

Even if Liu Qingfeng, Su Hanjin, and Tao Heshan are strong, Xiong Baizhou can't really be the shopkeeper, not only can he not be the shopkeeper, but the framework and important decisions of the enterprise still need to be formulated by Xiong Baizhou himself.

"The culture and background are different, but you can't learn everything, foreign ones may not be correct, and the best ones are suitable for you. Xiong Baizhou is envious, and he still understands this truth in his heart.

"Mr. Xiong, why didn't that beautiful lady come over yesterday?" Drake didn't start talking about business, but got to the point from the people around him.

"Oh, she's back home. Xiong Baizhou didn't want to explain too much, so he directly blocked the follow-up on this topic.

"That's a shame. Drake shrugged his shoulders, then moved on to other things to talk to Xiong Baizhou, and when he entered the Qualcomm company's technical achievements showroom, he began to introduce Xiong Baizhou to the world's advanced radio communication knowledge.

During the conversation, Xiong Baizhou and Drake unconsciously reached an agreement on the cost unit price, delivery method, after-sales maintenance and other matters of 100,000 chips.

Just now, the two looked like good friends, but when it came to specific business, Drake's attitude suddenly became serious, and he was so cold that he was a little unkind, Xiong Baizhou smiled and didn't care, and he had to follow the local customs when talking about business.

For the two ways of doing business in China and the West, Xiong Baizhou feels that there is no superiority or disadvantage.

Americans pay attention to the spirit of contract, which can reduce unnecessary troubles, and business matters are only left in the business field to solve;

Chinese pay attention to emotional communication, and may produce some confusion in the future, but traditional culture has been teaching us that "business is not benevolent." ”

Some people don't read much, just from a few brainwashing stories stubbornly believe that the "spirit of contract" must be better than "emotional human nature", Xiong Baizhou feels that this is the most ridiculous criterion, how many big businessmen in China have come out of the loss and confusion.

The spirit of the contract is very good, Xiong Baizhou also agrees, otherwise he would not have signed a confidentiality agreement with Liu Qingfeng, but traditional culture cannot be lost, Xiong Baizhou signed a confidentiality agreement with others on this side, and actively used his connections to take the initiative to implement work for Liu Qingfeng's lover.

This is the shining point of human nature, and this is also what the spirit of contract does not have.

After the 100,000 chip business was negotiated, Drake was a little tired, this young man's magnetic field was very strong, and he wanted to take the initiative in the business, but he was always snatched away unconsciously.

But Drake doesn't care at all, the stronger Xiong Baizhou is, the more helpful it is to promote the technology of CDMA, and now Qualcomm and Xiong Baizhou should be considered a cooperative relationship, although the cooperative relationship is currently limited to VCD, and the CDMA aspect is still being observed.

"That's why we launched the Omnitracs satellite positioning and communication service in 1988, primarily for the transportation industry to track the location of trucks. Drake saw that Xiong Baizhou seemed to be more interested in this technology, and stepped forward to introduce it.

"Hmm. Xiong Baizhou nodded without squeaking.

However, Drake did not intend to let Xiong Baizhou go: "What is Mr. Xiong's idea of producing mobile phones?"

This is the meaning of Drake's question, and it can be regarded as one of Qualcomm's assessment of Xiong Baizhou, and Qualcomm seems to admit that Xiong Baizhou said before that "mobile phones are the carrier of the battle for radio base station communication technology", and now the key is whether Xiong Baizhou has the confidence to show his own strength in the mobile phone market.

"We have an old saying in China that we accumulate grain and slowly become king. Xiong Baizhou spared no effort to promote the knowledge of Chinese culture even when talking about business: "It means that you can't prematurely reflect your purpose when doing great things, you must accumulate strength while observing the situation, and seize the opportunity at the right time to achieve success." ”

"The previous analog signal 1G era is GSM dominant, with Ericsson and Motorola mobile phones continue to innovate, the G era will soon come, but considering the current consumption power of our country, mobile phones are still luxury, even if the mobile phone project is launched now, it is just a competition for the high-end market. ”

"Too little profit, big risk. Xiong Baizhou shook his head and concluded.

"When is the right opportunity?" asked Drake earnestly.

Qualcomm actually has its own judgment on the Chinese market, but if Xiong Baizhou's answer can be consistent with the company's, it means that the two parties' judgment on the market is unified, which increases the consistency of cooperation.

"After September 1997. Xiong Baizhou replied calmly and confidently.

How confident he is, he didn't even use the empty words "probably, left and right, and estimated", and directly said "September 1997".

Whether this date is in line with Qualcomm's judgment seems to be a bit different, but Drake feels that Xiong Baizhou should be believed.

"I will submit this number to the board of directors for consideration, and if Zhoumei Electric can really have 00 stores by the end of the year, then my reasons will be more sufficient. ”

"I can definitely do it with 00, but not because I want to do business with Qualcomm. Xiong Baizhou looked at Drake.

"Just because I have this need. ”
