Chapter 585: Huaxing's Strengths and Weaknesses

"Mr. Park, the technology of our Huaxing company in the 900 section has been fully matured to meet the needs of commercial operation. Of course, there is a saying that there is no basis for words, and seeing is believing! We have cooperated with the Hong Kong Telecommunications Company to open a signal that can cover the entire Hong Kong D communication network.

Originally, we planned to invite 5,000 customers to experience communication during the trial operation period. However, according to the results just reported back by Hong Kong Telecom, the enthusiasm of users to participate in the use of digital mobile phones is very high. In just a few days, the number of users has reached 4,000, and HKT has asked us to increase the number of places in the entire trial operation to 10,000!"

Krylun introduced the situation to Park Chang-hyuk about the technology, and he was in a hurry for the past two days. On the one hand, Huaxing Company has just been listed, and it is still a grass platform; on the other hand, Hong Kong and Hong Kong Telecom's D network has just been put into operation, and many things, including technology, need to be coordinated by Huaxing Company.

However, no matter how busy Ke Lilun is, he still has to pretend to be calm in front of customers. He didn't expect to be able to negotiate a partnership in a single meeting, after all, digital mobile communication technology was just getting started, and Company K couldn't make a decision so easily.

Because once you make a choice, it means that you will have to invest heavily in infrastructure construction in the future. If you want to change the technical standard in the future, you need to change all the equipment, and this kind of loss is unbearable for any operator. So no matter what Curiellen says now, Company K will definitely wait and see.

The current work of Kelly and Huaxing Company is to attract Company K to focus on its own D technology. How is it possible, Ke Lilun hopes to cooperate with K Company to build a test site of the one-D network in Seoul for zero-distance promotion and display, even if all of it is invested by Huaxing Company.

Although the Oriental Research Institute has successfully developed the technology of Xuand, in fact, it has not even had time to put the most fundamental technical specifications into words and put them on paper. If HKT is not a company controlled by the Oriental Group. It is simply impossible to put D technology into commercial operation in such a hurry.

In a way, HKT has actually taken a big risk to build up the momentum of its technology. It was precisely when they heard that D technology had begun to be commercialized in Hong Kong that operators from other countries, such as Company K, would rush to Hong Kong to visit and negotiate.

The Korean market is not very large. The real giants are Japan, Europe and the United States. Among them, Europe has spent a lot of energy on its own GS standard, and the Japanese have also come up with a P standard, and it is not easy for Huaxing D technology to go to these two places to pry the corner.

The United States, on the other hand, has a larger market size than Japan and Europe, but Motorola is the most powerful company in mobile communication technology. However, due to the success of the previous analog cellular technology, all efforts are being devoted to the development of a new generation of analog mobile phones, so that the research and development of digital mobile communication technology is suppressed.

According to the intelligence spied by the Oriental Commercial Company, Motorola's new generation of mobile phones is close to finalization. Compared with the data8000 (that is, the big brother in everyone's mouth), the new product has made great progress in terms of volume and weight, and has taken the prototype of a "mobile phone".

It was the fatal mistake that Motorola put down that gave Qualcomm another opportunity to rise in time and space. However, due to the appearance of Li Xuan, Qualcomm's way out has been blocked by him in advance. Over the past three years, more than 90% of all patent applications filed worldwide related to code division multiple access technology (d) have originated from the Oriental Institute. Li Xuan has built a thick technical barrier that cannot be overcome.

But the Eastern Group compared to Qualcomm. There is also a huge weakness of zĂ i. That is, it is not an American company, and it does not naturally have the support of the U.S. government. You must know that when Qualcomm in another time and space first started to develop, the company's strength was actually very weak, and it was not capable of large-scale public relations at all.

However, the Federal Communications Commission (c) of the United States still quickly approved D as one of the standards for the second generation of digital mobile communications in the United States. The main reason for this is that the European GS standard has begun to land in the United States at that time, and the United States does not want to completely lose its voice in the second generation of digital mobile communication standards.

Now, the digital mobile communication technology in the United States seems to be more distant, and it is impossible for Huaxing D technology to be recognized by C so easily with Qualcomm in another time and space. The best choice for Huaxing to break the ice is to cook raw rice into mature rice. First seize a large number of markets, and then supervise the technical standards of batch C.

Oriental Group, on the other hand, holds a 27.5% stake in Company I, the second largest telecommunications operator in the United States, and is the largest controlling shareholder of I. With the support of the Eastern bloc. The main strategic development direction of Company I for more than a year has been on the laying of optical fiber cables and the coverage of mobile communication networks.

If Company I can adopt D technology, then this standard can be quickly rolled out in the North American market. However, after all, the Oriental Group does not have an absolute controlling stake in Company I, and the management of Company I still has a relatively large right to operate independently.

Huaxing is negotiating with Company I to establish a one-D technology test network in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York and Washington, D.C. Carry out preliminary technical testing and promotion display. If Huaxing can first persuade telecom operators in other countries to cooperate with it at this time, it will certainly be a big touch for Company I, which can greatly accelerate the negotiation process.

"President Ke, as the only mobile communication operator in South Korea, we cannot completely decide which mobile communication standard to choose, and many times it depends on the government's intentions!

The Korean government has been actively promoting our enterprises and products to the world. If you can help in this regard, I am sure that the government will give priority to your company when making a choice!" Park Chang-hyuk said with a gleam in his eyes.

This year is an Olympic year, and for South Korea, the biggest achievement of the XXIV Olympic Games, which just concluded in Seoul, is not the 12 gold medals won by South Korea. Instead, a number of Korean brands such as Samsung and Hyundai have really pushed to the world stage. Ke Lilun immediately understood the unspoken subtext of the other party, so he smiled and nodded.

"In addition to our D technology, the most high-profile digital mobile technology now is the European GS standard. Surely you know it. Ericsson, Siemens, Philips and other companies, around the GS quasi's core patents, have been competing for the first time in recent years, and have even begun to resort to law.

If South Korea chooses GS in the future, the entire mobile communication equipment market will inevitably be. The European telecommunications giants have completely carved it up! Japan's PD standards are similar, and it is definitely more difficult to extract even the core technology from Japanese companies than to ascend to the sky!

But if we choose D technology, it is different, we are an open standard, and we are willing to open the door to Korean equipment manufacturers for relevant patent authorization under the premise of mutual benefit and win-win results!

If the Korean manufacturer can get the relevant authorization, it will immediately compete fairly with our Huaxing company on the same starting line, and everyone will speak according to their ability in the future!" Park Chang-hyuk on the opposite side could not hide a look of ecstasy on his face.

Although Huaxing will not give up the development in the field of mobile communication equipment, the company's focus in the short term will still give priority to the development of mobile phone products. After all, the technical threshold required for the development of communication equipment is higher, not to mention that there are a number of European, American and Japanese communication equipment giants such as Ericsson, Siemens, and Motorola on the sidelines.

These companies did not focus on D technology before, but now the Oriental Research Institute has quietly completed the commercial development of digital mobile communication technology. If these companies don't pay attention to it, their olfactory acumen is simply poor.

If the D standard wants to be popularized quickly, it is also inseparable from the support of a number of equipment manufacturers. The Eastern Bloc holds all of D's patents, not to eat alone, but only to use it as a bargaining chip. In the next mobile communication feast, just get the biggest and most delicious piece of cake.

In another time and space, Qualcomm also holds the core patents, but it has been unable to convince the communication equipment giants to pay patent fees to them. So much so that in the entire 2G era. Qualcomm's D standard air has a technical advantage, and it cannot compete with GS. In the end, it was not until the beginning of the 3G era that Qualcomm ushered in the opportunity to turn over, and the fundamental reason for this was that Qualcomm's own strength was not strong enough.

In contrast, Huaxing is backed by the giant of the Eastern Bloc, and is not afraid of any competitor D, who only needs to defeat the GS bottom of Europe in technology. It is not allowed for other manufacturers not to pay protection fees obediently.

After Curry Lillun revealed his tone, Director Park's interest in chatting suddenly increased. The next exchange between the two can be described as a very happy conversation. After sending the guests away, Chrillen was not available for a moment, and immediately called his subordinates for a meeting.

"On the marketing side, the most important task in the next few days is to serve the Korean gang well, and the negotiations with the American company I cannot be taken lightly. I have invited Mr. EO Walker from Company I to visit Hong Kong, and it will touch the Americans!"

Ke Lilun spoke a little dryly, unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and poured a sip, then turned his head and said to a few people in the technical department on the other side, "As for your technical department, the first task now is to assist Hong Kong Telecom in running the D network smoothly. Secondly, Hong Kong Telecom asked for an additional 5,000 88 trial machines, and I have agreed. You have to coordinate with Xingguang Electronics to start production as much as possible to ensure that our free trial activities will not be interrupted!

By the way, it's good to say that the mobile phone part has been entrusted to Xingguang Electronics for foundry. The design of the new mobile phone in the R&D department has already started. But in the area of communication equipment, we almost had to start from scratch!"

"Mr. Ke, the R&D center of the research institute in the Special Economic Zone has a special communication equipment R&D project department. Since the beginning of the year, the key personnel in the project department have been transferred to the Hong Kong headquarters. The complete set of equipment we provided to HKT, including base stations, antenna feeder systems, repeaters, etc., was completed by a team of these R&D personnel.

In addition, in order to support the joint venture with enterprises in Shanghai to produce DS series digital program-controlled telephone exchanges, the Institute has also set up a communication equipment research and development center in Shanghai. And this R&D center, together with the equity in the joint venture company, is also all assigned to our Huaxing company.

Therefore, Huaxing is actually very sufficient in terms of talent reserves, and the only thing that is lacking is that we have no experience in building our own factories and producing them before! We have coordinated the factory building in the Tin Shui Wai Electronics Industrial Park in Yuen Long, and are now ordering various professional equipment needed for the construction of the production line. Including the later worker training, I guarantee that it can be put into production within half a year!" Liu Wei said with bright eyes.

In the end, he chose to join Huaxing Company instead of staying at the Oriental Research Institute. And because he knew D technology very well, and later participated in the development of specific equipment, and he had known Ke Lilun for a long time, so after he entered Huaxing Company, he was directly appointed by Ke Lilun to enter the technology department.

Because Huaxing Company has just been established and is facing a variety of complicated affairs, it has temporarily set up two functional departments: marketing department and technology department. After the human resources department finalizes the company's organizational structure, everyone's positions are bound to have a big adjustment.

But if you can have a beautiful table before this, you will naturally have a lot of advantages in competing for new positions after you get on the right track in the later stage. Liu Wei doesn't usually talk much, but he actually knows very well in his heart when to show himself.

And Ke Lilun was obviously satisfied with Liu Wei's statement, and he didn't forget to smile and nod at him. Huaxing Company will definitely not have a large number of equipment orders in the short term. After all, a new technical standard must take a lot of effort to be recognized by telecom operators. Crylen set himself a goal of two years, and as long as he succeeded in rolling out the D standard within two years, then he would be considered a great success. (To be continued.) )
