In this way, even deceived, Robert Calvin agreed to this cooperation. However, no specific contract will be signed, and the decision will not be made until the outcome of the matter.
Bao Zixuan didn't care about this at all, as long as he got in the car, it would be easy. Heiyun's own communication technology is not bad, but he is worried about the military's distrust and other reasons. In the hearts of Americans, Motorola is a proper child; if it joins, it will not suffer at least in terms of public opinion.
Motorola still attaches great importance to cooperation, except that it has not signed a formal contract. In other respects, they gave a lot of support. The team was led by Dr. Tony Bloom, the chief engineer of communications, and there was no more authoritative figure in Motorola.
No contract was actually signed, mainly because Robert Calvin was worried about misunderstandings by the White House and the military. And it is not worried that the communication technology will be mastered by the black cloud, not only because of the confidence in the technology, but also because the patents are in the hands of Motorola.
As long as Heiyun dares to imitate them, they will be faced with huge fines and discredited reputations.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile, "Although Dr. Bloom is from Motorola, he is now his own person. If you have any problems with communication, please tell the truth. My request is very simple, at least one level higher than the military standard. ."
Tony Bloom participated in the whole process just now, and he still admires the work efficiency and state of the Black Cloud team. At least in Motorola, there is no such working atmosphere, so the gap will become wider and wider.
Bao Zixuan didn't worry about them leaking secrets at all, and signed a strict nondisclosure agreement. Once a leak occurs, it will not only mean the premature end of his career, but may also face huge compensation and jail time. American engineers are very concerned about this, and they must be tight-lipped when they return to Motorola.
If they go wrong, Motorola will be implicated. For a company that is committed to building a century-old enterprise, no decision-maker will kill the chicken and get the egg.
And what about other people's confidential information, they must have technical patents, and there is no way to promote them to the market. Besides, Heiyun Automobile mainly produces automobiles. Motorola has not yet entered the field of automobile manufacturing, so it does not make much sense to master the technology.
Tony - Bloom, 53 years old, graduated from the University of Chicago with a Ph.D. Although U.S. companies do not care about the location of universities, they basically follow the principle of proximity.
Universities where the company is located will definitely be given priority. After all, many projects have to cooperate with local universities, and it is normal to have a tendency to recruit.
Tony Bloom did not rank, but was very excited to be able to come to participate in the research and development of the Black Cloud military vehicle communication system. Having worked at Motorola for over 20 years, I would love to see how other high-tech companies work.
The Heiyun Group can develop so fast in just a few years, it must have its own uniqueness. You can take this opportunity to learn from others, Motorola has been a little behind the times. Tony - Bloom, an old employee who has worked in the company for half his life; of course, he does not want to see Motorola decline. Live to old age, learn old age, suitable for all successful people who want to progress.
Tony - Bloom: "As for the communication system, Motorola can absolutely complete the task, please rest assured Mr. Bao. There is only one problem that needs to be solved, the problem of the satellite network connection module."
"Black Cloud Auto is not an authorized company, and Motorola dare not connect the communication equipment to the military satellite network. Please understand this point. You can only do simulation tests in the early stage, and the effect may be much worse. After all, many devices need to get the actual parameters to make the final test. debugging."
"In addition, in terms of positioning, the GPS has not opened a port for the Heiyun car. It is illegal to install the Motorola positioning device on the Heiyun car, which is also a troublesome problem."
Of course, Bao Zixuan knew that communication satellites and GPS were definitely the most cutting-edge technologies, otherwise he would not have cooperated with Motorola. At present, there is no civilian use, only the United States can use it. Other NATO countries want to join, but also need the White House to agree.
The Black Cloud Group could not get the access port at all, and the US government would not agree. As the most important communication company in the United States, Motorola has provided communication equipment for many important military equipment. But without the authorization of the military, it is absolutely not dare to install it on the black cloud car. That is no different from treason, and no one can afford such consequences.
GPS refers to a radio navigation and positioning system that uses GPS satellites to provide all-weather and real-time information such as three-dimensional position and three-dimensional speed to all parts of the world. The predecessor of GPS is a meridian satellite positioning system developed by the US in 1958. It was officially put into use in 1964. The system works with a star network composed of 5-6 satellites, and can circle the earth at most 13 times a day. Given height information, it is also not satisfactory in terms of positioning accuracy.
However, the Meridian satellite positioning system enabled the R&D department to gain initial experience in satellite positioning and verified the feasibility of positioning by the satellite system, which paved the way for the development of GPS. As satellite positioning has shown great advantages in navigation and the Meridian system has a huge defect in the navigation of submarines and ships, the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and civilian departments all feel the urgent need for a new satellite navigation system.
GPS is a new generation of satellite navigation and positioning system that has been developed by the United States since the 1970s. It took 20 years and cost 20 billion US dollars. It was fully completed in 1994. . GPS has won the trust of the majority of surveying and mapping workers with its remarkable features such as all-weather, high precision, automation and high efficiency, and has been successfully used in geodetic surveying, engineering surveying, aerial photogrammetry, vehicle navigation and control, crustal movement monitoring, engineering Deformation monitoring, resource exploration, geodynamics and other disciplines have brought a profound technological revolution to the field of surveying and mapping.
Although it will not be completed until 1994, it is already in use by the US government. Tony Bloom's concerns are not unreasonable. Black Cloud Cars do not have permission to use GPS positioning systems, let alone encrypted military communications. Even if it is as strong as Motorola, it is helpless. Without actual testing, the US government will not buy it.
Bao Zixuan: "What Dr. Bloom said is very reasonable. Motorola should have technical reserves for GPS and encrypted communication. We don't need to test, as long as you develop according to the previous technical standards, the rest will be handled by Heiyun. "
Hearing what Bao Zixuan said, Tony Bloom immediately understood what he meant. It's no wonder that people can become super-rich, and their minds change quickly. He has absolute confidence in Heiyun Group's communication technology, otherwise he would not dare to say so.
The communication system and GPS do not need to be tested. It is not a big problem. First of all, there is no problem with Motorola's technology and experience. The communication system is similar to that of the individual radio, and this area is where Motorola's advantage lies. Since World War II, it has provided walkie-talkies for the US military. The encrypted communication is definitely the most powerful enterprise in the United States, and it is not one of them.
As for GPS, Motorola has participated in the development and production of satellite components. Technically, there is no problem. Now it seems that Bao Zixuan has already calculated everything.
No wonder such harsh conditions can be agreed, it should be prepared for encrypted communication and GPS.
Before the invitation to cooperate, the people at Motorola felt a little weird; Tony Bloom was even more so. With Heiyun Group's technical reserves in communication, UU Kanshu produces and develops an in-vehicle communication system without any problems at all. The Black Cloud phone is the best example, at least two years ahead of Motorola's similar products.
Tony Bloom is weighing the pros and cons, whether to report what happened to the dark cloud and the guesswork to the board. After a fierce struggle, he chose to compromise.
Cancellation of cooperation is the worst plan, then it will bring huge losses to Motorola. If the guess is wrong, he is the sinner of the company. In any case, the possibility of becoming a scapegoat is very high. Instead, it is better to open one eye and close one eye. The subsidy given to them by Heiyun Group is not low, at least three times that of working in Motorola.
Now that I want to leave, the other members of the team are unwilling to leave. It is not always possible to get this job, and cutting people's fortunes is like killing parents. While saying that he will get more benefits, he will still complete the task with peace of mind. I believe that Bao Zixuan will not be stingy.
It is with this kind of thinking that Tony Bloom accomplished this task well. The result was as he expected. After the work was done, all the team members were rewarded generously, including the engineering and technical personnel seconded by Motorola.
However, in Bao Zixuan's mind, he was thinking about how to set up his own satellite communication network and navigation system. It seems to speed up, or be too passive.
