"Chairman, this is the fax we just received!" At Qualcomm's headquarters, Albert, the chairman, was looking at last month's financial statements in a daze when he saw his secretary running excitedly.
"What are you doing? Didn't I tell you many times that you must be calm as my secretary? Don't act like a world war is about to break out! " Albert glared at his secretary. Only then did the secretary react. He immediately adjusted his expression and finally calmly placed the fax in front of Albert.
"What fax is this?" Albert casually picked up the fax and asked casually.
"This is a fax from Hua Xia's mobile telecommunications company. They want to order 200 CDMA base stations from us!" The secretary said.
"What! You said this is a fax for CDMA base stations? " Albert, who had just asked his secretary to be calm, jumped up and asked in disbelief.
"Yes, that's right!" The secretary nodded.
"Great, this is great! My company is saved!" Albert exclaimed in his heart. He was so happy that he almost burst into tears.
Recently, Qualcomm's life had been very difficult. First of all, a large number of Qualcomm's shares had been bought by the foundation. However, this was not a problem for Albert because he did not care about the shares. He only cared about Qualcomm, the company he had developed, and the CDMA technology he had been concentrating on developing.
However, it was too difficult for Qualcomm to pass because CDMA technology appeared too late. Now, the world's mainstream second-generation mobile telecommunications technology used GSM technology. It was too difficult for Qualcomm to use CDMA to open up the mobile telecommunications market.
For a long time, CDMA technology had been rejected, including in the United States. Qualcomm finally found Hong Kong and got the local government's approval to conduct experiments on CDMA technology there.
As a result, the experiment failed. Not only did they lose their only cooperation in Hong Kong, but it also caused the company's stock price to plummet. The damn America First Foundation controlled most of the company's shares, which made Qualcomm lose a lot of money.
Since then, Qualcomm's CDMA base station had been blocked. Not only did no one buy it, but no one even asked about it. Qualcomm's stock price continued to plummet, and the company was about to go bankrupt.
The only unexpected thing was that the America First Foundation used Qualcomm to set up Qualcomm Network Company. It developed very quickly and began to occupy the market in the major cities of the United States. In just a few months, it had become the second largest network communication service provider in the United States. Now, many people had urged Qualcomm Network Communication to go public.
These people even went to Albert to persuade him to let Qualcomm Network go public. However, the problem was that Qualcomm Network only belonged to Qualcomm in name. The real owner was the America First Foundation. Talking to Albert was like rubbing salt on his wound.
But even so, Albert still had no intention of giving up on CDMA technology. He always believed that CDMA technology would be the highest mobile communication technology in the future. Qualcomm would definitely carry forward CDMA technology.
But the problem was that the road of CDMA now could be said to be dark. There was not even a little bit of light in sight.
At this time, one could imagine how excited Albert, who was at a loss about the future of CDMA, would be when he suddenly saw someone take the initiative to order 200 CDMA base stations.
He repeatedly read the whole fax several times, then asked his secretary, "Do you know anything about this Hua Xia Mobile Communication Company?"
"Uh … Hua Xia Mobile Communication Company is a company in charge of mobile communication in Hua Xia. In Hua Xia, mobile communication is a state-owned enterprise, and it is the responsibility of the mobile communication company!" The secretary explained.
"Well, although I don't quite understand, you mean that this mobile communication company will be responsible for managing the mobile communication system of the entire Hua Xia?"
"Hua Xia is a giant country with a population of more than 1 billion people, and all the mobile communication in this country is controlled by such a company. If this company chooses CDMA base stations, does this mean that in the future, the whole of Hua Xia will use our CDMA technology? We, Qualcomm, will occupy the entire Hua Xia market!!!" The more Albert spoke, the more excited he became. His whole face was glowing, and he was so excited that he was about to fly.
It was no wonder that a person who had been hungry for more than ten years suddenly saw a Manchu Han Imperial Feast in front of him. He would definitely not be able to bear it.
"Uh … I don't know the specifics. We haven't conducted a detailed investigation of Hua Xia!" The secretary said.
"Then immediately send someone to Hua Xia to negotiate with this company and understand the Hua Xia market. I'll give you ten days … No, five days. After five days, I want to see the most comprehensive report on the Hua Xia market!!!" Albert said resolutely.
So, Albert waited for another five days with joy. Although the report did not come out in these five days, Albert continued to learn about Hua Xia through his various friends. He learned that Hua Xia had indeed developed very rapidly in recent years, and that Nokia and Motorola had already opened up the Hua Xia market. In the future, the entire Hua Xia market would be very promising. There might be millions of mobile phone users, and the demand for base stations should be about 100,000 units.
This information made Albert even more excited. Then, he saw the report directly from Hua Xia's investigation team.
The first half of the report described and described the Hua Xia market, and this part was more optimistic than the news Albert heard from his friends. They believed that Hua Xia might have tens of millions of mobile phone users and about 300,000 communication base stations in the next ten years. The first half of the report made Albert feel like he had been injected with chicken blood.
However, after the second half of the report came out, Albert became depressed. This was because the report told Albert that Hua Xia had two companies. One was called Daqian, and the other was called Huawei. Huawei was a subsidiary of the Daqian.
Huawei was responsible for the production of mobile communication base stations, and they were mobile communication base stations in the CDMA mode. All of Huawei's technologies were authorized by the Daqian. These two companies had basically occupied about 95% of the CDMA communication market in Hua Xia. Even this month, they had installed 3,000 CDMA base stations in the country.
The Daqian had even released CDMA mobile phones. Now, in the major cities of Hua Xia, these CDMA mobile phones could be used to make calls and communicate freely.
So, Albert was dumbfounded in an instant. He couldn't understand why Gaotong, who was exploring the CDMA road alone, suddenly had a peer, and this peer looked so powerful. He had already done something that Gaotong couldn't do in five or six years.
No, where did this company's CDMA technology come from? Did their technology get authorization from Gaotong? Now, all the low-level CDMA technology patents were in the hands of Gaotong. It was absolutely impossible for any company to bypass Gaotong's patent authorization to master the CDMA technology. What was going on?
Just when Albert was confused, the people from Nokia came at the right time, and then put the information in front of Albert that the Daqian design infringed on Gaotong's patents.
Nokia was very sneaky. They bought a Daqian mobile phone at the first time, then turned it on and disassembled it as fast as possible. Then, they devoted all their technical efforts to study the communication baseband and CDMA technology to see if it infringed on Gaotong's patents.
Then, it took Nokia three days to find that the Daqian mobile phone in their hands had infringed on at least 102 of Gaotong's CDMA patents. This was only found in three days. They had no way to disassemble the whole mobile phone in the most detailed way and check the patents. After all, Nokia didn't have CDMA technology, and they couldn't figure out whether some of the technologies infringed on patents.
But even this layman found the facts of 102 patent infringements just by looking at some patent information.
This fact shocked Nokia. They had never seen a mobile phone company that was so big to infringe on patents so blatantly.
At the same time, this also made Nokia overjoyed. They immediately sent this information to Gaotong. Then, they just needed to sit on the mountain and watch how the angry tiger, Gaotong, killed the Daqian.
