Chapter 669: OFDM

Zhou Shuo's tough declaration can be described as a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and Qualcomm's executives and directors looked at each other, shocked and speechless.

Enemy of Pan Han Group? None of Qualcomm's managers and owners have thought about it. But if you want to give Qualcomm away, there is no such reason.

To say that the current status of the Pan Han Group is about four-fifths of Apple, one-half of Google, plus all of Cisco, as well as Nikon, Baidu, one-third of SoftBank, one-third of Alibaba, one-quarter of Applied Materials, two-thirds of Samsung, and at least nine-tenths of MediaTek and TSMC.

If you continue to list, you can also count the industrial control business that ASUS and part of Deyi should get, single-chip microcomputer, embedded, and on-board computer......

So there is no need to list it, as long as a little sane person knows that Fanhan Group is now the general trend in the semiconductor industry. For any enemy, it can be crushed with dignity.

However, although Qualcomm is small, it is also a hegemon in the small pond of CDMA. If you just bow down like this, how can you be willing?

"Mr. Zhou, your request is too embarrassing, and we have no intention of selling Qualcomm."

"Of course I know, you don't want to sell Qualcomm at all." Zhou Shuo was not interested in fighting with them, since he appeared here, it was not to persuade others, but to convince Qualcomm to accept his request.

In the strategy of the entire Panhan Group to use the ARM architecture to invade the X86 architecture market, everything is ready at this time.

This east wind is the weakest link in the current entire strategy - 3G network.

CDMA's patents are basically in the hands of Qualcomm. If mobile terminals want to develop smoothly, they must solve the problem of 2G network speed.

Smartphone internet speed. It is directly related to the fundamentals of the development of the smartphone strategy.

The best solution, of course, is the CDMA network. But the CDMA is in the hands of Qualcomm. It's the equivalent of being rounded in the back by a thief. I don't know when I want to be held hostage by them.

Neither Fanhan Group nor Zhou Shuo can accept such a situation. It is something that no fool would do to carry the world's greatest wealth in the next decade by being pinched with weakness.

So Zhou Shuo sat here this time with the belief that he would win.

"But now it's Fanhan Group that wants to buy Qualcomm, I don't know if you have the courage to say 'no'?"

Sanjay. Jia frowned and shook his head: "Although Qualcomm is only a small company compared to Fanhan Group, we are not weak people to be slaughtered. Mr. Zhou is weak and thinks that you can manipulate our decisions, then he is wrong. Ladies and gentlemen. Qualcomm has a brilliant future, are you going to jump off this ship in the darkness before dawn? ”

His last sentence was addressed to the directors of Qualcomm.

Qualcomm's directors shook their heads and spoke out in support of Sanjay. Jia said: "No, even if we are given ten times the profit, we will not sell the shares in our hands. ”

"Qualcomm can at least bring a hundredfold return on our investment, and if Mr. Zhou pays two hundred times the price, I can consider selling."

"I'm less greedy, one hundred and eighty times fine."

"Hahahaha!"

Zhou Shuo was silent. Sanjay. Jia shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "Mr. Zhou, look, can Fanhan Group agree to this price offered by our directors?" ”

"Of course not. Because the value of Qualcomm is not worth any money in my eyes. Zhou Shuo said lightly.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhou even needs to use negotiation skills. That's too much. "Sanjay. Jia tugged at the corners of his mouth and sneered: "Qualcomm has all the patented technologies of CDMA in its hands. It is an inevitable choice for the future mobile communication network upgrade, and the entire market of hundreds of billions of dollars. In Mr. Zhou's opinion, is it worthless? ”

"Yes, it's not worth a penny." Zhou Shuo nodded affirmatively, sighed, shook his head, and said, "Since you still feel so good about yourself, then I'll give you a lesson." ”

"CDMA, or Code Division Multiple Access Technology, is Heidi. Technology invented by Rama in the 40s of the last century. And in the 60s, another communication technology was also invented, that is, OFDM, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing technology. As you probably know, WIFI technology uses OFDM technology. ”

To put it simply, in the beginning, mobile phone wireless communication and computer communication were two technologies. On the mobile phone side, wireless communication is analog signal, GSM, CDMA route, and the bandwidth is higher than the other. In terms of computer communication, it is modem, ISDN, ADSL, wifi and other routes.

This also results in the mobile phone and the computer using two communication modes separately, but does it not mean that the broadband technology of the computer cannot be applied to the mobile phone?

Not.

In fact, the so-called 4G, that is, LTE, Long Term Evolution, and long-term evolution technology used OFDM technology.

This is somewhat of a trick played by equipment manufacturers, and Qualcomm wins a move in 3G technology. When 4G appeared, the world's operators had invested huge costs in the CDMA system, and suddenly threw away the code division technology architecture to embrace the frequency division technology used by computers.

Therefore, when 4G first came out, the promotion did not dare to call 4G, and took the name of "long-term evolution". Claim "We are an improvement on 3G technology, not a table-lifting!" ”。 The old-fashioned operators didn't slap 4G to death.

In addition, China is one of the few countries that is particularly active in 4G networks. First, if large enterprises want to use Qualcomm's technology, they must also authorize the technology they have researched to Qualcomm to facilitate Qualcomm to package and sell it to small enterprises.

This is not a good thing, small businesses are comfortable, as long as they are licensed once from Qualcomm, there are no patent problems. However, small enterprises will not invest in R&D in this basic technology, and large enterprises that invest in R&D will not get benefits from mastering technology, and will lose power under the 3G architecture over time, which is convenient for Qualcomm to hold 3G hegemony for a long time.

Second, the most important thing is that the core technology of the LTE system is in the hands of Chinese enterprises! That's right, it is in the hands of the Huaxing Group in later generations.

I have to say that Huaxing is indeed a conscientious enterprise!

With such a period of past, Zhou Shuo was very calm in his heart. Qualcomm's advantages are only just being realized, and the popularity of the CDMA network in the world is not comparable to that in six years.

He said lightly: "Presumably, everyone at Qualcomm also knows that Panstar is already an important member of the GSM Alliance, and Ericsson and we have formed a strategic partnership. With the influence of our Pan Han Group, it is not difficult to attract operators such as Vodafone, Alcatel, France Telecom and Orange. If we propose in the 3GPP organization that we directly develop a 4G system using OFDM technology beyond the 3G network stage......"

Zhou Shuo beckoned, and someone next to him naturally sent a copy of the text. He didn't look at it, opened it and threw it directly at Sanjay. In front of Jia, he said with a smile: "Oh, in fact, we have completed the patent application for the OFDMA technology used in the 4G network. If I bring in other communication technology providers, I think we can produce results in a year or two. ”

Sanjay. Jia quickly finished reading the text thrown by Zhou Shuo, and suddenly sweated in his head. He passed Wen Jiàn down with some trembling, unable to speak for a long time.

If the OFDMA technology is in the hands of other manufacturers, he doesn't have to worry so much. After all, Qualcomm has a first-mover advantage, and when the time comes, it will just compete in the market.

But now he is facing the Pan Han Group, which has mastered the smartphone platform and system, and has also long unified the network equipment market and the wireless communication base station market.

Think about it, if the mobile phone is the first to support OFDMA technology, and then Panxing also sells 4G network base stations at the same time, will such a promotion speed be challenged by Qualcomm?

In front of Qualcomm will be a bloody adventure.

If you don't agree with Zhou Shuo's request, I believe he will not hesitate to knock the CDMA technology into the dust.

"I'm sorry, we need to adjourn the meeting for a while to discuss Mr. Zhou Shuo's suggestion." Sanjay. Jia wiped the sweat from his forehead and said reluctantly.

"Okay, I'll just give you a day, and we'll have another meeting tomorrow to discuss it." Zhou Shuo didn't push too hard, and directly gave them a day.

……

"Mr. Zhou, can Qualcomm really agree to our request?" Dongfang Ke and Zhou Shuo walked side by side in the corridor of Qualcomm's office building, looking uncertain.

"What are you afraid of, it's naturally good to have Qualcomm, and it's just a matter of spending a little bit of effort and making one less round."

Zhou Shuo smiled and said lightly: "Actually, I really hope that Qualcomm refuses, it's better for this kind of insatiable company to die." ”

As he spoke, he was in front of the conference room where yesterday's meeting was held. Sanjay. Behind Jia stood all the top executives of Qualcomm, and it seemed that they had made a decision.

"How, what decision did Qualcomm make? I would like to hear an accurate answer to this, and my personal patience has become worse and worse over the years. ”

Zhou Shuo made up his mind to play black face in this negotiation, and showed his flamboyant and domineering temperament to the fullest.

However, he was destined to be disappointed today, Sanjay. Jia Wuyan glanced at all the senior executives of Qualcomm, nodded with difficulty and said: "On behalf of Qualcomm, I agree to the request of Panhan Group to acquire Qualcomm. (To be continued......)
