Chapter 10 There is something to talk about
Without the entire medical staff building a close relationship with the patient, the hospital is just a building, which is the case with the Mayo Clinic. lā
When Li Jiaming, who is usually dressed casually, changed into a suit and leather shoes, and walked into the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizo., with a bouquet of flowers in his hand, there was a feeling of reverence in his heart. It's the greatest medical institution in the world, and it represents a great ethos – non-profit.
Mr. Owen's hospital room is a very elegant suite, and if you remove those medical equipment, it is the home of a wealthy family. The Mayo Clinic relies on making money from the wealthy and accepting donations to provide quality medical care to countless civilians. After more than half a month of treatment, Mr. Owen has also recovered well, except that he is still unable to speak and needs to be in a wheelchair, his complexion looks no different from ordinary people.
Sending flowers, hugging Mr. Owen in a wheelchair, greetings and caring for a few words, Li Jiaming got up to say goodbye, and his assistant hurriedly sent him out of the ward. It is a courtesy to visit, and the hospital is not a place to talk about business cooperation. Li Jiaming came all the way to express his intention to cooperate.
It was different when he left the hospital, the assistant who sent Li Jiaming away was not an assistant, but the vice president of Qualcomm.
"Ming, can you have a few words?"
“ok”。
The two walked to a small park nearby, and talked about life, ideals, the Internet, and communications from the current stock market crash, which made Li Jiaming very interested. Anyway, people are close, and it doesn't matter if you go back to the company by yourself, just chat.
But the more he talked, the more frightened Li Jiaming became, there are so many cattle in the world, and the middle-aged white man with black hair and gray eyes in front of him can be counted as one. I am 'back' from the future, of course, I know a lot about the future of the Internet, mobile phones, communications, people just by the development trend of science and technology, people's needs, can deduce the general appearance of the future, this ability can be admired.
That's what I think, don't look at the current Internet has suffered a heavy setback, but there is still huge potential for development, its speed is far from enough, the content is not rich enough, the future network should be like cable TV, can provide users with high-quality images!"
This is a problem that cannot be avoided - network speed and bandwidth.
Even if it is developed like the United States, it has not achieved fiber-to-the-home, and still uses modem dial-up Internet access, and the bandwidth cannot keep up. In other places, Li Jiaming is not clear, HH company uses optical fiber to the home, and the bandwidth is only 10M, but it has to pay 15,000 US dollars per month for Internet access. In other words, without a better and cheaper solution for a giant company like Cisco, the development of the Internet will stop there.
"Yes, this is a systems project, subject to the existing infrastructure, but there is another area that everyone ignores. ”
"Wi-Fi?"
"Ming, you're a genius!"
Hehe, I talked nonsense with Lao Tzu for a long time, and complimented Lao Tzu for a long time, if you can't guess your intention, Lao Tzu should hang himself. But Li Jiaming also immediately poured cold water on others, lest people feel that they have shaken the cards in their hands.
"No, even if the current traffic fee is reduced to 0.1 US dollars/m, it is unlikely to become mainstream. Just like our company's e-website, the average capacity of a song is about 4m, and it is impossible for users to use the wireless network to download songs. Therefore, the real wireless network can only be a supplement to I-Fi, and to solve the problem, Cisco still needs to come up with a better wired network solution. ”
Even if Bruce has the foresight, he can't say what the current frighteningly slow 2G wireless network can develop into in the future, but to build the best wireless network, Qualcomm's CDMA standard does have more advantages than the current mainstream GSM.
CDMA's network capacity ratio technology simplifies the planning of the entire system by using the same frequency in every part of each cell, reducing the number of stations required and thus reducing deployment and operating costs without reducing traffic volume.
To put it simply: the CDMA system has a high capacity, requires fewer base stations, and the network construction cost of the same capacity is more than 1/3 lower than that of GSM, and it is also better in terms of call quality, and there is no problem of GSM mobile phone disconnection. But the problem is that CDMA came out too late, and it is too difficult to challenge the GSM standard, so difficult that Qualcomm almost let the opponent kill with a stick if he makes a slight mistake.
After Li Jiaming analyzed the problems that did not need to be analyzed by him clearly, he joked: "B**ce, you must have something important to talk with me for so long." As you know, you don't need to give me any more courses on the communication industry standards. ”
After chatting for so long, Bruce was also sure that Li Jiaming was optimistic about CDMA and could become a partner of Qualcomm, so he said bluntly: "Ming, are you still interested in the technology of QC6522 series chips?"
Qualcomm's problem is huge, and it's already very, very serious, otherwise it wouldn't have been so urgent. This Bruce must be here, just trying to talk to himself about it.
Li Jiaming suddenly sympathized with Owen Jacobs and sympathized with him for the misfortune of meeting someone like himself who did not understand the United States. If he hadn't messed up the situation brutally, people would definitely be able to toss and turn, but if he let himself stir up the situation, he wouldn't even have room to move.
"B**ce, I talked to Owen last time, and your asking price is too high. Our HH company does not have the corresponding R&D technology and team, and it can only be used for two years after buying. If this is the case, we might as well procure, at least we don't need to set up a relevant team to develop and take unnecessary risks. ”
"What if we sell the teams together?"
No, with hundreds of millions of cash flows, doesn't Qualcomm have room to move? Isn't this asking for trouble for itself?
"No, we have acquired 15.28% of Qualcomm's outstanding shares, and we are required by law to hold a general meeting of shareholders and join the board of directors. ”
No allies, join the board as a mascot?, "Ming, what you need most is an ally, not a directorship," Bruce reminded. ”
, this guy wants to gang up?
It should be, there is no party emperor ideology in the party, and there are no factions in the party, and it is estimated that this guy thinks that it may be difficult for Owen to fully recover, and wants to find another ally in the board.
This matter has to be considered carefully, Li Jiaming doesn't know much about this VP, so he snorted and said: "B**ce, I'm just here to visit the patient, and the specific affairs of the company are managed by Kyle." ”
Wrong, Li Jiaming guessed wrong, he holds up to 15.28% of Qualcomm's outstanding shares in his hands, coupled with the huge potential of HH, there is no difficulty in joining the board of directors. If Owen doesn't get sick, he can control the board of directors with his prestige, but can he fully recover his health? Therefore, Owen needs allies, and Li Jiaming, who has no roots in Qualcomm, is undoubtedly the best choice, especially since he can provide the cash that the company desperately needs.
As long as he came on behalf of Owen, there was something to talk about, and Li Jiaming asked Nakamura to buy a few cups of coffee, and followed the VP to sit on the bench under the shade and talk slowly.
