Chapter 410: Eastern Star Communications Company

It's great that Eaststar will have trouble with the FCC application in the United States, so let them also taste the ten years of waiting!

Motorola's directors looked at the chairman and several company executives with great anticipation, and President Galvin, who had been sitting next to the chairman and had not spoken, had to say: "Motorola has been delayed in the application, in fact, the US government is not ready to meet personal mobile phones, and now that the mobile phone network in Europe has begun to be built, it is no longer meaningful for the United States to delay the popularization of this technology!" In fact, our Motorola mobile phone project has paved the way for mobile communications in the United States and has been instrumental in the development of this technology. We at Motorola have actually played a pioneering role, and we won't have to wait long for other companies to follow in our footsteps and enter the U.S. communications market! The FCC has experience, and the standards have been formulated, and it is impossible for Dongxing's mobile phone products to be delayed for too long, and the government will not stop them! ”

"Oh, that's too bad, we opened the way, and the opponent could overtake us!" The directors in the conference room were discussing, and most of them had indignant and disappointed expressions on their faces.

"Gentlemen, I don't think the situation is so serious that it can't be recovered!" The chairman of Motorola said loudly to the crowd at this time, and then he turned to Martin Cooper and said, "Martin, do you have any new samples in your lab now?" ”

Directors and company executives have focused on Martin Cooper, known as the father of the mobile phone, who led the team to defeat Bell Labs and pioneered the development of the mobile phone, and he and his team have been developing mobile phone technology for ten years without interruption, and everyone is looking at him with great anticipation.

Martin Cooper lived up to expectations, and he said loudly with a solemn expression: "Of course there are new products, in fact, I have made a sample of a mobile phone that weighs only 1.06 pounds (483 grams). And I guarantee that the call quality and functionality of this phone will not be lost compared to the current mass-produced products! ”

“WOW! Martin, you're amazing! We should hurry up and produce such products! Someone applauded loudly.

"However, 1.06 pounds is still half the quality of Dongxing's products!" Someone else said worriedly.

"What then? Otherwise, we will negotiate with Dongxing Company and buy technology from them! We will definitely make better products with their technology, and maybe with such technology, we can make products lighter and smaller than we have now! The directors began to talk again, and one of them suddenly stood up and said excitedly.

The chairman of Motorola glanced at Martin Cooper and Rudy Kropp and said, "Martin." Rudy, according to your analysis, why can the other party's mobile phone products be so much smaller than ours? ”

This is also something that puzzles many of Motorola's senior executives, Motorola has been deeply involved in the field of communications for many years, and the mobile phone project has been prepared for ten years, and the technology has been updated a total of 5 times, each time smaller and more refined. And now Martin Cooper has made the product 1.06 pounds, which proves that Motorola has been improving in communication technology, but why did the other party come up with such a lighter and smaller mobile phone all of a sudden? How exactly they did it!

Martin and Rudy discussed a few words and exchanged views. Then he turned his head to look at the people present and said: "According to the data given by the other party and the analysis of the samples on the pictures, the other party's communication technology has not made great progress, and it has not surpassed our Motorola company!" ”

"Oh!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, if the other party's technology is really beyond Motorola, then they can only continue to invest in the research and development of new products, which will cause direct and indirect economic losses to the directors.

Martin looked at the crowd and continued: "At present, the main constraint on the size and quality of mobile phones is the backwardness of battery technology. It is difficult to miniaturize existing nickel-cadmium batteries in order to ensure the duration of mobile phone calls. According to our analysis, Dongxing must have mastered the battery technology that we do not have. Director Rudy and I were both sure that the other was not using a nickel-cadmium battery at all! ”

The directors and executives all nodded their heads, and they were relieved by the answer, because Motorola prides itself on communications technology. At the same time, they are a little worried, because battery technology is not Motorola's strong point, and Motorola's rival Bell Labs has in-depth research on batteries, but they have not yet reported the news of a new generation of batteries. Therefore, the new battery technology may come from Dongxing itself.

Martin Cooper continued: "I suggest that Motorola reach out to Eastern Star to learn about their mobile phone technology! Moreover, the company's legal department will send a letter to Dongxing that their existing mobile communication technology may have plagiarized our patents, which is very likely! I suggest to immediately check the technical patent documents of Dongxing's mobile phone products! ”

"If their phones really copied our technology," the chairman of Motorola said solemnly to Martin Cooper.

"Accuse them, of course. But we will definitely move towards cooperation in the end, and as soon as possible! Martin Cooper said with the same seriousness.

As the chief expert and industry leader of the leadership team in the development of mobile phones, Martin Cooper will never allow the product developed by his team to have the possibility of failure, and it will face the situation of being eliminated when it has not yet shined, although it is frustrating, but as long as there is a chance to recover, Martin Cooper does not mind working harder!

If Motorola has the company's battery technology, he believes that Motorola will easily defeat this little-known rookie in the field of communications with its rich heritage, at least to suppress this company, because Motorola's size is too huge, and there is no company in the world that can be compared in the field of mobile communications!

Dongxing quickly received a lawyer's letter from Motorola's legal department, and also received a call from Motorola's president, Galvin.

The other party's lawyer's letter indicated the evidence that Dongxing Company had infringed Motorola's related mobile phone technology patents, and if Dongxing Company did not want to go to court against Bo, it would immediately stop such infringing activities.

Not to Lin Qiangsheng's surprise, Motorola really sent the lawyer's letter right away. What Lin Qiangsheng never expected was that Motorola called immediately after making a call, and Galvin said that he would visit Dongxing soon.

Although the other party said that he would bring a lawyer, Lin Qiangsheng did not take this seriously, he felt that Motorola could not afford to wait. Thinking about it, after ten years of waiting for ten years of research and development, Motorola's heavyweight products are finally mass-produced and marketed. But when the company was full of expectations, they didn't expect that a very threatening competitor suddenly appeared in the market, this feeling will definitely make people lose their temper instantly, just like being choked by the neck when eating delicious food!

Motorola has done a lot of work on its own mobile phones, and the production plan has been arranged, and Lin believes that this is definitely not a small plan. For such a large production enterprise, the resources and manpower it mobilizes before and after is extremely huge. Now a better product suddenly appeared on the market, and the market immediately fed back, the dealers who cooperated in the early stage have canceled the cooperation, and the customers who intend to buy mobile phones have also canceled their orders, and the release of Dongxing's mobile phone products has disrupted Motorola's marketing plan for the next few years!

And the market situation is also reflected in the stock of Motorola, in the East Star company announced the mobile phone shortly, market analysts made a prediction, the East Star company's mobile phone has exceeded Motorola's mobile phone products too much, the market predicts that Motorola company's mobile phone is likely to usher in a slow-selling situation!

And this prediction has been premonited by the market without expert analysis, the stock of Motorola on the New York Stock Exchange fell by 2% on the day and 4% the next day, and MOT shares continue to fall due to the large amount of money selling.

A series of blows made Motorola have to hurry up, the company can't afford to wait, investors can't wait, and the following production companies can't afford to wait!

After the private plane landed, it came to a stop, and then Motorola President Galvin and his party walked down the suspension ladder, and they were greeted by a professional woman with outstanding demeanor, surrounded by four or five men in suits and leather shoes and sunglasses.

"Hello Mr. Galvin, I'm Tarona. Wright, President and CEO of Eastern Star Communications! Tarona said with her hand outstretched.

Galvin, Martin Cooper, and Rudy shook hands with her one after another, a female president, although the two sides had received a notification before the contact, but Galvin and others were still quite surprised. After all, in the early 80s, female CEOs were still rare in Western countries, and shopping malls have always been the world of men, and Western society follows this tradition.

"Hello, Ms. Tarona! I don't know where Mr. Lin is, we need to have an honest interview with him! Galvin said reservedly.

Tarona smiled and said, "Mr. Galvin, Mr. Lin has given me carte blanche for the meeting with Motorola!" Come with me, I think you and Mr. Cooper will love to visit our mobile phones! ”

Galvin and Martin Cooper looked at each other, and the two spread their hands and led the people into the car prepared by the Eastern Star Company. (To be continued......)
