Chapter 263 The Last Life-saving Straw
When Sun Zhengyi was mentioned, Li Dongling’s indifferent attitude made Wu Ying and Lu Hongliang a little confused. Logically speaking, the two had never met each other before. He didn’t I know why Li Dongling has this attitude.
But Li Dongling’s attitude is obviously not a good thing for them this time. They thought that moving out Son Zhengyi would make this negotiation smoother, but now it turns out that they have shot themselves. How your feet feel.
Sun Zhengyi was originally the foreign aid that Wu Ying and the others counted on, but now they cannot count on them at all. Wu Ying knows that now they can only rely on themselves.
To be able to reach today, in the previous life, I broke into a huge situation. Although there is a sense that times make heroes, the final outcome was not very good. It took less than ten years to rely on PHS to achieve glory. UT Si When Dacom faced the 3G, 4G mobile phone era and the arrival of smart phones, it was completely dumped because it could not keep up with the trend. In the end, Wu Ying was also kicked out of UTStarcom, which he had founded.
But Wu Ying definitely has the ability and courage. He is a technical expert in the radio field. You know, he has participated in the design of the first 16-bit single-board computer in China, and is one of the main forces. The ability is evident.
While quitting her job and studying abroad in America, Wu Ying also joined Bell Labs, the same laboratory that has produced more than a dozen Nobel Prize winners and is now regarded as a global scientific research mecca. Everyone inside has become a project manager. Wherever the geniuses were walking that day, there were only a few brushes to suppress the geniuses under their hands? !
At Bell Labs, Wu Ying, who climbed to the position of supervisor, began to be restricted by the ceiling. In places like America and Europe, the discrimination between ethnic groups is much more serious now than in later generations. .
Being able to become a supervisor at Bell Labs is already the highest position that a person with yellow skin can achieve. It is no longer possible to go further. Faced with suppression and unfair treatment, Wu Ying returned directly to domestic.
But now, seeing that Sun Zhengyi's name was useless, Wu Ying took a deep breath and said directly to Li Dongling, "Mr. Li, I know that coming here this time may be a little abrupt and offensive, UT Starcom wants to obtain the patent authorization of PHS and allow Starcom to produce PHS. To this end, Starcom is willing to accept all the conditions it can afford! ”
After finishing speaking, Wu Ying and Lu Hongliang looked at Li Dongling anxiously, fearing that Li Dongling would blast them out and everything would be over.
Li Dongling was not too surprised when he heard Wu Ying's words. On this day, Li Dongling had already talked with Ren Yuefeng and other senior executives before. It was a matter of time.
But in front of Wu Ying and others, the superficial work that should be done must be done. Otherwise, how will the leeks be cut? !
“Authorize PHS patents to Starcom?!” Li Dongling said with an angry smile, “What kind of company does UT Starcom think it is? Why should it let Dongling Hi-Tech? Will he invest a huge amount of research and development funds and give up the products he has developed?”
Facing the pressure from the head of the country’s number one technology giant, Wu Ying is also a little stressed, but this Sometimes, you can only bite the bullet.
"Mr. Li, Starcom is not trying to snatch PHS patents, we hope to cooperate!" Wu Ying explained quickly.
“It is true that PHS has the advantage now, but we all know that the PHS technology used by PHS is essentially inferior to GSM and CDMA. The Post and Telecommunications Bureau will not allow PHS to completely dominate mobile phones. The industry will drive out mobile phones that support GSM and CDMA technology from the domestic market!"
Seeing that Li Dongling did not stop him, but was somewhat silent, Wu Yingchang breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued.
“The Postal and Telecommunications Bureau will not allow GSM and CDMA technologies to completely fail or even disappear. Domestic and foreign mobile phone manufacturers, R&D institutions, academic institutions, and practitioners who support these two communication standards will also not allow them. !
PHS needs time to sell more mobile phones with PHS technology when other mobile phones counterattack, so that PHS technology and PHS mobile phones will become the mainstream of domestic mobile phones.
But with the PHS brand, it is difficult to achieve anything in such a short period of time, but with the help of other brands, it can be achieved very quickly! "
Wu Ying looked at Li Dongling, "Mr. Li, you have better connections and information in Yanjing than Starcom. You can know the attitude of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau just by asking! ”
Li Dongling raised his eyelids and glanced at Wu Ying seriously. The bearded man in front of his eyes did have a somewhat unique vision.
PHS and PHS technology are now used in China and even Throughout Asia, there is a sense of momentum.
But it is true that the Yanjing General Post and Telecommunications Bureau will not allow PHS to dominate the country and completely kill GSM and CDMA. After all, PHS It is a fact that the technology is not as good as the latter two, but due to cost reasons, the speed of their deployment cannot be compared with PHS.
As long as the development continues, the cost of base stations will be reduced, and the cost of mobile phones with GSM and CDMA technology will also be reduced. It is foreseeable that they will replace PHS. It is impossible for the General Administration of Posts and Telecommunications to not see this, and it can allow PHS to occupy advantage, but does not allow GSM and CDMA to disappear in the country. In addition, for PHS technology in mainland China, interest groups have emerged around PHS, including Yang Bohua, who was just transferred to the General Administration of Posts and Telecommunications, and Song Luancheng of Telecom, as well as ZTE Corporation of PHS base stations, related PHS R&D institutions, and academic staff Wait, these people, as well as a number of companies, have obtained huge returns and benefits from PHS, and have naturally become PHS interest groups.
Not only PHS, but also GSM and CDMA. Directors of domestic post and telecommunications bureaus, R&D institutions, mobile phone companies, academic staff, and practitioners who advocate the introduction of GSM and CDMA technologies also Interest groups were formed.
In order to prevent GSM and CDMA from completely failing in China, they must fight back vigorously. After all, destroying people's financial resources is like killing their parents. They cannot sit back and wait for death.
When two interest groups start a war, it will no longer be based on personal will. There will definitely be a big fight. At that time, public opinion will be directed at PHS and PHS, and even some departments and units. Policies will probably be released.
Among them, I am afraid there is still some contribution from Dongling Hi-tech. Tanglin Hi-tech is still secretly developing mobile phones with GSM and CDMA technology. Li Dongling wants to rely on PHS to make money for Dongling Hi-tech in the mobile phone and communications industry. In terms of R&D expenses, we don’t want to kill GSM and CDMA, so we are secretly supporting these two technologies.
Seeing Li Dongling, who seemed to be persuaded by him, Wu Ying perked up and continued, "Besides the reasons of policy and mobile phone market, there is another point!"
"The current production capacity of PHS is probably a bit insufficient. The market is there. If PHS cannot capture it right away, I'm afraid there will be other brands of mobile phones, or even copycat phones, grabbing the market!"
"UTStarcom has no intention of robbing PHS. We are just "helping" PHS. If those markets are occupied by copycat phones, then Tanglin Hi-Tech will get nothing!" Wu Ying said. They are all worried about Tanglin Hi-Tech.
Wu Ying and Lu Hongliang both looked at Li Dongling, who was frowning slightly, waiting for Li Dongling's decision. This decision is also related to the fate of Starcom in the future. Despite Wu Ying's vow just now, he At this time, I was also nervous.
"What you said does make some sense," Li Dongling seemed to be convinced by him, Wu Ying couldn't help but smile on her face, but before he could laugh, Li Dongling's next words made him stand still on the spot. "But Tanglin Hi-Tech, why did you choose Starcom as an ally of Tanglin Hi-Tech?!"
"As long as the news is spread, PHS is willing to license its patents and technologies. I think there are many domestic companies , are you willing to cooperate with PHS? Panda, BBK, Changhong, Haier, ZTE, or even Lenovo, etc., which one is not stronger than Starcom? Tell me the reason why I choose Starcom!”
< br>The transition between heaven and hell came too fast. Wu Ying and Lu Hongliang were filled with bitterness at the moment. They thought they saw hope, but who knew they would end up in despair.
Wu Ying really can’t think of a reason why Starcom is better than companies like Changhong, Haier, and Panda. Regardless of reputation, technology, R&D strength, or even funds, none of these companies is better than Starcom. If Da Kangqiang and Li Dongling are really willing to let them produce PHS, it will definitely be much better than Starcom now.
"Mr. Li..."
With a bitter and helpless smile on her face, Wu Ying felt that this trip was probably going to be in vain. At this time, she felt a little discouraged and had no hope.
But at this moment, Li Dongling suddenly spoke to Wu Ying and Wu Ying who were about to get up and leave, "Donngling Hi-Tech can give UTStarcom a chance, but whether you can seize it or not depends on you." "Myself!"
"Mr. Li, please tell me!"
Wu Ying said with burning eyes, as if he was about to fall off a cliff and a life-saving straw suddenly stretched out. , Even if it is a straw, he must hold on tightly.
If Li Dongling had made strict demands from the beginning, Wu Ying probably would not have agreed. Even if he agreed, he would have done so with some integrity. But when Li Dongling closed all the doors, Then a window crack was opened, and the light that shined through this window crack was the light of hope for Wu Ying!
"Dongli Hi-Tech can license PHS patents, as well as Chinese operating interface and Chinese SMS East technology, to UTStarcom.
In addition, Tanglin Hi-Tech's parts industry chain can also be used for Sri Lanka. Dacom is open, including chips, motherboards, batteries and other key components, can be supplied to Starcom!”
Listening to these conditions proposed by Li Dongling, Wu Ying was excited at first, but after listening to Listening to it, it turned into anxiety and uneasiness. It was not that the conditions were not good, but that it was too good, but the pie falling from the sky was so big that he couldn't bear it!
