"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the SMS machine launched by ICQ." Irving. Jacob was holding a Lisheng SMS machine that looked no different from a mobile phone, and his expression was extremely stern.

Although the Lisheng SMS machine and the ICQ two-way pager are not the same thing at all, for the proud Americans, they are firm, stubborn and even stubborn that Lisheng Electronics can be equated with the ICQ, who makes their bosses the same person.

For Owen. None of the remaining seven directors of Qualcomm expressed any opinion on Jacob's words, and their eyes were eagerly staring at Owen. The text message machine, which looked like a cell phone, in Jacob's hand, waited for him to continue.

"I believe that everyone has heard more or less from friends about the hot sale of this machine on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, but what I want to tell you is that the hot sale of this machine is beyond the imagination of all of us, you may not imagine, the entire Chinese media are reporting on this machine, no matter how many machines our peers send to the market, these machines can be snapped up by fanatical consumers in an instant."

Snapped? The eyes of the other seven were terrifying: what a wonderful noun this is? Thinking that Qualcomm is only developing more than 1 million CDMA mobile phone users in the world, everyone feels that the secretion of salivary glands in the mouth is beginning to intensify: will this SMS machine be the same in the United States?

"We got one from our friends in China, and as soon as we got it, the company's testers tested it. I was shocked by the results of the test, the operation of this machine is very stable under the GSM network, and both the circuit design and the overall industrial design are very mature. It is a reliable mobile end product. ”

Taking a deep breath, Owen. Jacob finally got to the point of today's meeting: "Ladies and gentlemen, I think we can't hesitate and hesitate any longer, the development and popularity of the CDMA network is not as ideal as we thought, we have to find another way, in my opinion, this SMS machine is such a product that can help us quickly open and market share." We had to establish a partnership with ICQ as early as possible. ”

"If this SMS machine is really as good as Jacob said, I have no problem because of our mistakes in the Chinese market. We can only sit back and watch GSM skyrocket with 1 million new subscribers per month,"

Franklin. Antonio was the first to show his attitude, in fact, as early as a few days ago when Owen . Jacob talked to him about it. For Owen. Jacob's vision of using low-cost text messaging machines to rapidly expand the market reach of CDMA products. Franklin. Antonio also agreed, when it came to Qualcomm's huge mistakes in the Chinese market, Franklin. Antonio's heart was like a knife, and he was heartbroken: "Gentlemen, watching the rapid development of the damned Europeans' GSM network in the Chinese market, doesn't this still give us some inspiration?" The Chinese have set a good example for us with the most vivid examples. ”

"I support Mr. Jacob's idea to seize market share with as low a price as possible for mobile phone terminals. I think a cheap text messaging machine is the best opportunity to expand our market share. ”

"I have a question," Adrian. Goffman raised his hand: "I agree with your assumption. But Jacob, how are you going to work with ICQ? ”

That's right, if Qualcomm can launch a text message machine based on CDMA technology, with the low price of this type of product, the text message machine can be popularized among students and young people in the shortest possible time, which means market share for Qualcomm, in this era when you have a market share and have a future, expanding market share is in the first place.

Although Qualcomm finally opened a CDMA commercial network, all Qualcomm shareholders understand that for Qualcomm, this is only the first step, and after realizing that Qualcomm has the potential to threaten itself, whether it is Motorola or Europeans, they will next encircle themselves.

"I'm going to negotiate with them and get them to license us to produce the CMDA version of the text messaging machine."

"But Qualcomm doesn't have that much money right now, and the company's finances are very tight, and I think you should understand that." Adrian. Goffman frowned and said, For Owen. Jacob envisioned the practice of obtaining Lin Zheng's authorization, he did not have any opinion, although Qualcomm can also carry out independent research and development, but for Qualcomm, the most lacking thing now is time, if they can use money to buy time, they will not have any hesitation at all.

"I know," Owen. Jacob nodded, as the company's CEO and chairman, how could he not know the company's finances? "I'd like to try it out and see if I can convince Lin to give us a free license to use it."

"Free license? What's wrong with this?! "Owen. Jacob's words stunned the rest of the directors: Free? Now Qualcomm is counting on the CMDA-related technology patents in your hands to make money, and you yourself are happy to make money by licensing patents, and you will be licensed to you for free?

Dude, are you joking with us or are you dreaming?

Relative to the shock of the partners, Owen. Jacob's reaction was much more normal, and he said calmly: "Whether it can succeed or not, always have to try, you all know that Chinese will always have some incomprehensible behavior, such as good face, as long as we can get free authorization, we will give him more face." ”

What if your tricks don't work? Immediately, some shareholders wanted to ask, after all, face is always valuable, no one is a fool, if it is because of a little face, don't want a lot of money...... I've never seen such a fool anyway.

Just before he could speak, Owen. Jacob continued: "Of course, we need to prepare for the worst, and if it doesn't work out, we'll negotiate with them to get a patent swap. ”

Is the patent interchangeable? The directors exchanged some ideas with each other and finally nodded: with little money in their pockets, it seemed that patent swaps were the best way to go.

As for whether this method can be used to convince Lin Zheng, in fact, no one is sure, but you always have to try, don't you?

"Suzu Bell Bell ~~"

When a group of professors and doctors were discussing how to obtain the technical authorization of the SMS machine from Lianchuang Technology in the way of empty gloves and white wolves, and to wrap a large number of CDMA-standard SMS machines in the shortest possible time, the conference phone on the table rang.

"It's Harvey." Glancing at the number displayed on the phone, Owen. Jacob's voice involuntarily carried a trace of anticipation and nervousness, and subconsciously licked his lips: Could it be that there is news from the bank?

Mr. Harvey, the Chief Financial Officer, called? The eyes of the rest of the people subconsciously looked at the empty chair, and they couldn't help but have a touch of anticipation in their eyes.

"Mr. Harvey?" Press the call button and Owen. Jacob's voice trembled slightly.

"Gentlemen, I have not very good news for you, Pusperetti Bank has just called and rejected our loan request, and I think we need to think about it again." Harvey's voice was a little frustrated, Qualcomm had previously applied for a $10 million loan to Pusparetti Bank, if he could get the $10 million loan from Pusperetti Bank, Qualcomm's next development funds would be available, but now? As Qualcomm's shareholder and chief financial officer, Harvey knew that Qualcomm was in big trouble.

Rejected by Pusparetti Bank? Irving. Jacob was in a trance.

It's not just Owen. Jacob, the faces of several other shareholders also became equally ugly: Qualcomm is in big trouble this time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is only one way ahead of Qualcomm, as long as Kuài gets the patent authorization for ICQ, and as much as Kuài expands the number of users of the CDMA network around the world, I need to go to China immediately." Taking a deep breath, after leaving the sentence behind, Owen. Jacob strode out of the conference room: there really wasn't much time left for Qualcomm.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

"The CEO of Qualcomm is coming to talk to us about the cooperation of the SMS machine?" Looking at the content of the official letter, Tan Na's face was full of disbelief: "Is that the Qualcomm that is very popular now?" What do they think? ”

She couldn't understand how a company as powerful as Qualcomm could take a fancy to such a cheap thing as its SMS machine?

"Which Qualcomm can it be other than the Qualcomm with CDMA technology in its hands?" Lin Zheng smiled and shook his head, but he couldn't help but mutter: Why did you recruit Qualcomm?

Later generations have a very apt evaluation of Qualcomm, that is, Qualcomm is actually a group of hooligans who rob around with their own patents, which is actually quite appropriate, if Qualcomm is not so ruthless in terms of patent fees, Qualcomm's scale should be larger.

Of course, even so, Qualcomm has become one of the world's leading communication predators, has a decisive influence on the pattern of the world communication market, and has a considerable say in the formulation of network technology standards in the 3G era and even the 4G era...... In fact, this is also the right of Americans to speak in the field of communications.

Qualcomm is so impatient, it seems that buddy, I far underestimate the importance of this SMS machine.

"Don't underestimate yourself, and don't take them too seriously, don't look at the day when they blow them into the sky, but my own days know that such a large-scale image promotion, I am curious that their company can still have a few dollars on its books." Boss Lin is quite sure. (To be continued......)
