Chapter 689： Potential crisis

"To describe in detail the advantages of cdma over the first generation of fdma analog signal technology and the second generation of tdma digital signal technology, we have made a model similar to a cocktail party, if we compare each of the operator's communication channels to one For the cocktail party used for communication, "The corner manor, Owen Jacobs can't wait to sell Eric's cdma technology to Eric during the meal: "fdma form of 'cocktail party', only at the same time Allowing two guests to talk one-on-one, this technical form of communication is extremely inefficient; tdma mode 'cocktail party' can allow multiple guests to communicate with interactive objects at the same time, although the communication channel is enhanced. Utilization, but in fact, at a simple point in time, it can only accommodate one user to speak. Our cdma mode 'Cocktail Club' completely breaks this restriction, allowing multiple groups of communication objects to be used at the same time. Different 'language' communication, therefore, with this more efficient communication bandwidth utilization, use cdma technology to build mobile The cost of the letter network will be much lower than the second generation digital signal technology."

There are four men, three women and seven people sitting on the long tables in the restaurant. Eric, Chris and others are listening carefully to Owen Yabulg’s remarks. As long as Xiao Nizi seems to be absent-minded, Owen Yabulg's easy-to-understand description also made it easy for her to accept the advantage of cdma. She looked at Eric, who nodded slightly, and Xiao Nizi blinked and pretended to be curious, and asked a serious expression. "Mr. Jacob, since cdma is better than..., the other two technologies are excellent, why does at-t choose g** as the technical standard?"

Eric turned his head and glanced at Xiao Nizi, who was snoring, but did not blame anything, but looked at Owen Jacob.

Owen Yabulg did not become embarrassed because of this problem. He smiled and explained: "Miss Drew, your words have paused. It is definitely a doubt about the nouns I am talking about. Please allow me to explain to you. The full name of g** is the global mobile communication system, which is a more mature digital communication technology developed on the basis of the second generation of tdma digital technology. There are many reasons for at-t to choose g** technology, among them g* * Technology is more mature than cdma technology and commercialization is also the most important aspect. At-t has very strong capital. Don't care about the construction cost of mobile communication network, so they will choose the g** technology that has been widely promoted. Cdma technology has not had any mature commercial network so far is our biggest disadvantage. However, Qualcomm has accumulated 10 years of R&D experience in cdma technology. We are very confident that cdma technology is very mature. To a commercial opportunity, we can certainly prove the superiority of cdma to everyone."

Owen Jacobs said that in the end, his eyes fell on Eric.

Eric did not immediately meet some of Owen Jacob’s expectations, but said: "Owen, do you know Nokia?"

Owen Jacobs’s expression has changed slightly. He certainly knows that Nokia, a communications device and mobile phone manufacturer that has risen rapidly from the bankruptcy, said: “If I remember correctly, Nokia’s controlling shareholder is a Hawaiian fund. Overseas companies, and the Hawaii Fund is an overseas investment fund established by the Firefly Investment Company."

Eric nodded and he set up the Hawaii Fund for the purpose. It is just like Apple to avoid the high corporate income tax in the United States by keeping Nokia’s future profits overseas. This tax avoidance method is completely legal, so Eric has not deliberately concealed the firefly investment from the outside world. It is the information of the controlling shareholder of Nokia.

Noting that there was a bit of doubt in Irving Jacob's expression, Eric could roughly guess what the other was thinking.

In the past two years, Nokia has developed into one of the best communication equipment and mobile phone manufacturers in Europe. Its strength is second only to Ericsson, but the gap is getting smaller and smaller, and even the signs of surpassing have emerged. The reason why Nokia has risen rapidly in just over two years, in addition to the huge development funds injected by the fireflies, the more important reason is that Nokia is ahead of other communication vendors in terms of g** technology and the rapid development of g** technology. popular. g** technology can be said to be the foundation of Nokia's rise. However, although g** technology has been widely used in Europe and Asia, it is in the initial stage of development in North America. Although at-t, the largest telecommunications giant in North America, has determined that g** is its main mobile communication technology standard, at-t's g** network construction has only just begun.

Therefore, in Irvine Jacob's view, what Eric should do now is to help Nokia promote g** technology in North America and enter the North American market instead of throwing an olive branch to gamma, a competitor of g** technology.

Eric did not wait for Owen Jacob to ask. Proactively explained: "Owen, I know that you must have some doubts, but in my opinion, there is no conflict between the development of Qualcomm and Nokia, because g** and cdma are completely different two-generation mobile communication technology standards. Qualcomm and Nokia should also be two completely different companies. I even hope that Qualcomm and Nokia will form a relationship of mutual honey cooperation in the future. We will discuss this in detail in the future. I just mentioned Nokia, but there are other reasons. Although Nokia's current development momentum is very rapid, but in the second half of last year, Nokia has also experienced a very important corporate crisis. In this respect, Chris is more clear than me. He has been running for this for a long time at the end of last year. Let him talk about it."

Everyone looked at Chris. Although Chris had some doubts about why Eric suddenly mentioned this, he explained: "Before 1992, Nokia only produced hundreds of thousands of mobile phones per year. However, after 1992, Due to the strong market demand brought by the popularization of g** technology, Nokia’s communication equipment and mobile phone sales have shown geometric multiples. Last year, Nokia’s mobile phone sales alone reached 3.1 million pieces, and the rapidly expanding capacity demand was almost As a result, Nokia’s group accessory supply chain collapsed. Therefore, I and Nokia’s ceo Joma Ollila spent a few months at the end of last year to completely rectify Nokia’s supply chain to ensure that Nokia’s production capacity will continue. Pengfei's mobile communications market."

Owen Jacobs has been racking his brains to promote cdma technology, but has never considered a longer-term problem, but he heard what Chris said about the crisis that Nokia experienced last year.

Eric said at this time: "As far as I know, in addition to some manufacturers that are still producing the first generation of analog signal mobile phones, almost all the digital mobile phones produced by mainstream communication manufacturers are g**. After a decade of high-level investment in technology research and development, there is not much capacity to produce cdma equipment. So, once cdma technology is selected as a technical standard by any major communication operator, what Qualcomm intends to do to cope with the sudden number of hundreds What is the market demand for cdma equipment?"
