After a period of time, Mitsui and Mitsubishi got together again for a meeting. At the meeting, both sides were furious.
"Henry Williams can't get along with us. He will send someone to rob us of any land or appearance we like, and then bid up the price to make us spend more money!"
"Yes, it's so hateful!"
"Yes, if it goes on like this, how much money will we have to pay for it?"
"If you want me to say, let's play tricks, such as pretending to be interested in a certain facade, and then let him compete with us. When the price rises, we'll leave!"
"Well, other people are not stupid. If the position of the facade is really better, he will buy it directly. The right is to invest in real estate, and he can make money in the future; On the contrary, if the appearance is not good, he will not pay a high price. How do you say to pit him? And if we don't open the store in a hurry, the loss will be even worse. You should know how many companies are under the two consortia, and the daily losses alone can not be compared by one or two appearances! " Mitsui shook his head and said in a light tone, "however, since Henry Williams tried every means to prevent us from opening a store, it shows that he is afraid that we should establish our own sales channels, so we should establish them quickly!"
People can't help choking when they hear the words, but as Mitsui said, the daily losses of the two consortia are far greater than the battle of appearances, so they can only break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, not to mention holding back!
But is Henry really afraid of them opening a branch?
In Henry's view, Japanese electronic products are no longer available. Cosmetics and skin care products are very powerful. The main core industries of Mitsui and Mitsubishi consortia are electronic products! Of course, Japanese cars are also very powerful, but "when Tesla comes out, who will compete?" Henry is asking people to develop pure electric vehicles, which are jointly developed by Rolls Royce, Bugatti and super energy. Although the company has not yet been established, it is making technical reserves, among which the key technology - "super battery" has already begun. At that time, with Henry's financial resources, we will lay charging stations around the world and subvert the entire automobile industry. Japanese cars will also be doomed... What's more, Henry has seized the throat of Japanese minerals, seriously affected Japan's steel industry, and then affected Japan's automobile industry, making the manufacturing cost of each car increase and the price competitiveness drop!
In addition, the ultimate purpose of Henry's acquisition of physical stores is to serve e-commerce. More and more people are willing to shop online and even place orders for meals online. Through the Internet, users can solve any problem at home, which is the future development trend.
Mitsui consortium and Mitsubishi consortium open so many stores, but if they can't occupy a place in the Internet field, they will lose money in the future! Unless they have the iPhone, which can be called the artifact level product! After the rise of Internet e-commerce, many department stores closed down. In a previous life, why did Wanda Group's boss struggle to go to the field of e-commerce? It's not the offline physical department stores that are out of order. Niu forced Ru to join Baidu and Tencent to set up "Wanda e-commerce" and threatened to challenge Alibaba, but the result is... Dog! E-commerce is not so easy to get a foothold. If Mitsui and Mitsubishi want to fight in the future, they have to ask Henry if they agree with each other first!!!
……
On April 20, 2002, Qualcomm called to say that it has completed the research and development of the core hardware and software of 4G network wireless transmission system, and has formally submitted the preliminary wireless communication system standard to ITU! And that's three years earlier than before.
Henry nodded after hearing the speech, saying that he would let Williams Telecom and Williams electronics group cooperate with Qualcomm to conduct large-scale experimental tests, and complete the research on the system standard of general wireless environment and the research on the system practicality.
In fact, in 1998, Qualcomm completed the development of 3G network, namely CDMA2000 standard. In May 2000, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) determined WCDMA, CDMA2000, TD-SCDMA three mainstream radio interface standards, and wrote them into the 3G technical guidance document "International Mobile Communication Plan 2000".
TD-SCDMA is a 3G network developed by China Mobile and Siemens in Germany, but it starts at a low level, and is the worst of the three.
WCDMA is a standard developed by Europe and Japan on the basis of GSM, which is better than CDMA2000 and has a higher market share.
Therefore, CDMA2000 is in a very awkward position, but CDMA2000 is the most mature and standard 3G technology, and it is easy for 3G to smoothly transition into 4G. Therefore, Henry simply asked Qualcomm to skip the promotion of 3G and make full use of 4G.
With Henry's full support, 4G network has been basically completed, but there are still many experiments to improve 4G technology. Therefore, 4G network is still a long way from commercial application.
However, as soon as the news that Qualcomm submitted the 4G wireless communication network standard came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the industry.
Although WCDMA is very good, as a new technology, it is developing slowly and immature. It is far away from 4G. I never thought that Qualcomm had applied for 4G network standard. Should it be so powerful! At the moment, the global mainstream network is still 2G, and 3G is being vigorously developed. However, when Qualcomm suddenly comes here, countless telecom companies are hesitant. Is it 3G or 4G? There is no doubt that 4G is better than 3G, but I don't know how far Qualcomm has developed this technology. If Qualcomm launches 4G network within three years, telecom companies are willing to wait, but after a long time, they prefer to use 3G first, and then upgrade to 4G in the future... However, when telecom companies think of Henry Williams behind Qualcomm, they pay extra attention to his investment in technology research and development! As a result, telecom companies have increased their confidence in Qualcomm. At present, many telecom companies have secretly decided to bear with it and use 4G network directly in the future!
For a time, Europe and Japan were depressed. The WCDMA network, which was painstakingly developed, was ignored! Even if there is, the price is very low.
"WCDMA is a 3G network. If the price is lower, I will make do with it first. You know, our telecom company will definitely use 4G network in the future!"
"The theoretical value of 3G and 4G for network speed PK is only 14.4mb, even if it is the WCDMA network with the best network speed. However, due to various restrictions, users' mobile phones simply can't reach the network speed, and sometimes even open a website for half a day. But 4G network can reach more than 100MB, and you can't get stuck watching video with your mobile phone! "
“……”
At this time, many mobile phone manufacturers around the world have sent representatives to Qualcomm to cooperate with it in the formulation of 4G network standards, so as to launch 4G mobile phones in the future. With the cooperation of so many companies, there is no doubt that in the development of 4G network, the pace of Qualcomm will be faster!
Henry suddenly felt that the combination of iPhone and 4G would attract countless people. Of course, the iPhone will also launch 2G and 3G mobile phones. After all, building a 4G network is not easy. As a developed country, the United States will definitely take the lead in using 4G network, while there are still many countries and regions in the world to be conquered by iPhone!
Now, Henry wants to let Qualcomm get as many 4G patents as possible, but in the future, he will share more profits. In previous generations, the promotion of 4G network was very slow. Technically speaking, there were multiple 4G standards, which caused inconvenience to users; Second, 3G has become popular, and the desire for 4G is not so urgent. Today, 3G network has not been popularized, 4G network has been far ahead of Qualcomm, and iPhone will only support Qualcomm 4G standard, which will inevitably force many telecom companies to choose Qualcomm 4G, so that it is likely to form a global monopoly situation of Qualcomm 4G standard.
Henry could already see millions of dollars coming to him.
While Henry was daydreaming, another call came. He looked at the number. It was from the headquarters of gene umbrella company
