The 3GPP conference can actually be regarded as a particularly useful and busy conference in the world.

Because it's really going to be opened many times, many, many times.

In the middle of June, there was already a meeting in South Korea, and this meeting was just talking, preparing to vote, and the general thing was pretty much the same.

Now, in August, I came to Europe, all the participating manufacturers, all kinds of bars, there are nearly 60, all of them know in their hearts that now we have to set the standard, the sooner the better, and we can't delay any longer.

In fact, it is the standard problem of 5G, long code and short code, who is used.

At present, there are three main standards, but the main ones are the chrysanthemum factory and Qualcomm that have more technical advantages, and these two camps are quite large.

Chrysanthemum Factory is now the de facto world's largest communication provider, and there is no problem with this, but Qualcomm is now the No.1 in mobile phone chips.

It's really hard to say who is more powerful on both sides, and the key now is who to listen to.

It's been arguing for a long time, it's been arguing for a long time, and it's hard to quarrel before, but now you have to vote for a result.

In other words, I didn't expect 3GPP to be so valuable, but from 2G to 3G and then to 4G, the business here is really too big, and there is no way not to pay attention to this, this standard is all money.

Let's put it this way, whoever masters this standard will be able to collect royalties, is it awesome or not?

The key is that mastering this standard requires great strength and a huge market share.

In fact, we in China are really among the best in terms of market share, this is communication, whether it is a chrysanthemum factory or Chongxing, it is the world's top 4 large factories, and the ability to live is really strong and strong.

As for Qualcomm, in fact, this company mainly produces chips, that is, a component in communications, yes, I must admit that this component is very powerful, but it is also a component, but its share is also very strong.

How to vote, in fact, everyone has their own way.

Bai Shiqiu really doesn't know much about this kind of technical stuff, but as a domestic limelight, and the founder of TT mobile phone, TT Communication, TT Home, TT ...... It's not a set, it's really not a set.

Seriously, the utilization rate of the set is much higher than that of our mobile phones.

Bai Shiqiu is very important, even if he doesn't understand, but this time he came to the venue, but this venue, for the time being, there is no hurry, our Chinese manufacturers, some of the main responsible persons, let's get together first.

There are actually a lot of Chinese in the Netherlands, but many people, their identities are somewhat problematic, this time in order not to cause trouble, after all, everyone is a person on the scene, so they did not go to any place such as a club, but found a local Michelin restaurant.

This is a friendship event, just listen to the name, it is done by the representatives of Taiwanese manufacturers, interesting, Taiwan and the Netherlands have a lot of connections, but they don't want to show their strength on this occasion.

There are many manufacturers in Taiwan, what MediaTek, what ASUS, what ...... There are a bunch of them, and there are many mainland countries that have never heard of the name, but the main business is packaging and testing.

Why?

Because of TSMC.

Packaging and testing is the test of TSMC's goods, and from this point of view, the importance of TSMC to Taiwan is indescribable.

But despite this, TSMC didn't come, which is quite interesting.

The whole restaurant is covered, after all, you are all people who have seen the world, and when the banquet begins...... Bai Shiqiu didn't appear, he was an important person, Lin Rong said, you, wait a minute.

Then wait, and in the car, he met a man.

Yes, he got in the car, but he didn't get out, and this guy is also very interesting.

"Old white, haha......"

"Brother Lei, haha......"

None other than Rebus.

As soon as the two met, they were very happy and hugged each other with a smile. After a little pleasantries, I definitely won't say any messy things, such as getting up to pee.

Straight to the point.

"Today's vote, Lao Bai, you are here, then this situation is quite ...... Let me put it this way.,Even the big guy Liu has given a pretty good plan.,This plan can basically be taken care of.,That is,Long code we support Qualcomm,In fact, Qualcomm's advantage is still great,But in terms of short code,We support the chrysanthemum factory,So that people won't say we're white-eyed wolves,As for the revival aspect,You know,They will definitely not support the chrysanthemum factory,They are more closely connected with Qualcomm......"

"Oh."

Bai Shiqiu couldn't have imagined that this vote would have such a hidden secret.

But it's not surprising, though.

To put it simply, in the current situation, in fact, three companies are engaged in things, and the comparative advantages of the three are in addition to Qualcomm is the chrysanthemum factory, and the other is Chongxing.

Chongxing is a very powerful company, and in many 3GPP meetings, they have shown their strong 5G strength. Even in this aspect, at least in terms of presentation, it is more than the chrysanthemum factory.

But there's a catch...

"But if we do this, aren't we still being choked by the neck?"

Bai Shiqiu's words were completely from a layman's point of view, but he grasped a key point.

This is definitely not to say how unbearable Chongxing is, in fact, Chongxing is a very strong company, and its investment in research and development has always been very large.

However, there is a division of labor in this industry, and the division of labor of the revival is mainly to do integration, regardless of chip things.

Under the conditions of market economy and globalization, this is absolutely correct, and it is in line with the original work of market economy, the free market.

Actually, as far as the overall problem is concerned, everyone has a division of labor, I do this, I put all my resources into this field, and then you do that, you also put all the resources into it, so that you and I can cooperate, isn't it the best.

The truth is actually really simple, but ...

"Lao Bai, your idea is too unnecessary, let's just sum it up, do you say, will the Yankees not sell our goods?" Rebs also makes a point.

Actually, many people don't think of one aspect.

As far as the Internet is concerned, a lot of people are spraying what we don't have chips in China, no CPU, in fact, no, we have it, but from the cost considerations, as well as performance, purchasing American goods is a good choice.

There is another important point here, that is, our domestic manufacturers are the largest customers of chips in the United States.

Don't brag, just let the manufacturers in our country go out, they are all big customers, and other countries do not have such demand.

Moreover, there is a special place in this, that is, the Yankees also want to sell our goods very much.

Where is the manifestation?

Where is the foundry located?

Taiwan!

On the Internet now, many people are spraying one thing, that is, various preferential policies for Taiwan, among these policies, the most important is tax incentives.

But what is the actual problem?

From the perspective of our mainland, this is our internal affair, and the international community recognizes the ownership of the treasure island, which is no problem, then, from this point of view.

In a country, of course, there should be no customs duties, and most of the taxes are calculated according to the place of production.

If you understand this, you can understand a very complex logic in this.

Why is TSMC on Treasure Island.

It's not how good the treasure island is, not how awesome it is, but the common interests of the two big countries, so we need this factory on this treasure island!

Because in this way, both parties have the greatest interest.

Tax incentives are available, and our mainland must give them, and then, there is one thing that remains here, that is, the Yankees have always wanted us Chinese to master their core technology.

To put it bluntly, what the Yankees have always wanted to do is to stay ahead of the curve in technology forever.

However, they want to maximize the benefits.

From these points of view, Treasure Island is simply a super OK place, and only such a place can realize these maximum benefits and avoid the biggest problems.

On the other hand, this is the United States doing its own technological upgrading, and in the process, they are really exhausted and use all the means at their disposal.

That's the truth about technology.

And there's another word in that, the status quo.

Whose slogan is this?

Therefore, many things, as long as you peel back the heavy skin and see the real thing inside, that is, the benefits, the truth will appear.

The logic of Rebs's words is very simple.

China is the largest market and the largest customer of American chip companies, and according to the normal business model, it is impossible for them not to sell our goods, which is almost non-existent.

But.

"Brother Lei, will we be led by the nose by the Yankees forever?"

"It's not leading the nose!"

"What about our own new film?"

"Lao Bai, we are also doing it, but at the current level, we are one year worse than the United States."

One year apart, this is the truth of China's chip industry.

That's really it, and besides, there are some legal issues here.

To be honest, what the Yankees really want is to do the easiest job and then get the best enjoyment, which is why they are so concerned about intellectual property and patents.

It's not that patents are bad, but if a company keeps making money just because of patents, and lives like a vampire lying on patents, is that good?

There are too many such vampire companies in the United States.

In fact, the reason for the real decline of the United States is this, that is, there are too many vampire companies, and many companies can't suck blood after many years, they hang.

"Brother Lei, do you really think ......"

"The whole voting plan is very good, it's not that we don't vote for the chrysanthemum factory, it's already said before, it's not that we don't vote, and they have an advantage in the short code. When the final result comes out, which is the solution I am talking about, then we will get the most benefits. You see, even if you hit the chrysanthemum factory, don't let them be so arrogant, and then have a good relationship with Qualcomm, how good is that. ”

It must be said that Rebus is right and reasonable.

But what about Bai Shiqiu?

"Brother Lei, I still can't turn my elbow out."

"Lao Bai, you are too stubborn."

"Brother Lei, in fact, I agree with your reasoning, but I really can't help it."

"Can you tell me why? What exactly do you see? ”

Rebus came this time, he had already contacted Mr. Huang on the other end of Lian Xiang, Huang is always a woman, is responsible for 3GPP standard issues, in an enterprise like Lian Xiang, the hierarchy is very strict, just this kind of thing, Liu Da and Yang Boss will not appear, they are not needed at all, this is a small thing.

Remote control will do.

Before, the plan has been completed, and many domestic manufacturers have said that it is good, and Rebus does not believe that his persuasive ability is so poor.

Moreover, the most important thing is that he feels that Bai Shiqiu must be able to figure out the huge benefits in this.

Then, Bai Shiqiu must have his reason for such a performance, simply put, Bai Shiqiu may have seen something more beneficial than this plan, that is, Big Boss Liu's plan.

Contrary to Big Liu, he supports the Chrysanthemum Factory.

Why is Bai Shiqiu?

But I heard Bai Shiqiu say with a smile, "I actually don't have any reason, but I see one thing, and that is hope." ”

Wish?

Rebus really never dreamed that Bai Shiqiu would give such a literary statement, which is really too literary.

"So ......"

"Brother Lei, I'm definitely going to support our competitors."

"That ......"

"Brother Lei is free."

"Nope! I'm still a white brother this time! ”

After saying that, both of them laughed.

The result is interesting, when Bai Shiqiu appeared at the banquet, the manufacturers, especially the bigwigs from Taiwan, were very enthusiastic.

The most interesting thing is that everyone mentions the matter of voting.

That's right, this is the real business feast, not to mention business.

What about voting?

TT, Xiaomi, especially interesting are the Taiwanese manufacturers, almost all of which voted for the chrysanthemum factory!

Some people, seeing this posture, made a powerful move.

Strongly opposed!

In the end, after four rounds of voting, everyone was about to throw up.

Qualcomm took the long size, and the chrysanthemum factory took the short size.
