Military Industry of Great Powers: Build the Strongest Flanker

When Zhao Guoqing returned to Shenzhen City, he received feedback from Motorola.

Vladimir said: "Qualcomm agreed to merge patents with us and launch the WCDMA 2G standard, but..."

Zhao Guoqing felt nervous, feeling that Qualcomm was going to cause trouble again, and sure enough...

"They are not willing to give it away for free. Even if Motorola and CITIC are willing to open up standard patents, they still choose to charge. They propose to charge them the fees they deserve based on the patent ratio!"

Zhao Guoqing was thinking about playing without Qualcomm when he heard Vladimir continue: "Half of the people on the US Telecommunications Standards Committee are Qualcomm technicians. They said that if we don't agree, they will independently launch Qualcomm's own CDMA standard. .”

"..."

Zhao Guoqing said: "Qualcomm's accumulation in CDMA is not enough, right? Can it come up with a complete solution?"

Software simulation plus the Viterbi algorithm is a patent threshold that they cannot get around at all. In other words, even if they can get around it, they will have to sacrifice performance.

Vladimir said: "Although we can make Qualcomm eat nothing, Qualcomm can also make us lose time. Mr. Zhao, GSM has been set as a European standard. They have submitted it to the International Communications Standards Association and been approved. It’s just a matter of time…”

"..."

Qualcomm is really difficult to deal with. No wonder the 3Ggg Association is discussing the issue of LTE communication standards and has held a special seminar. The topic discussed is that the LTE standard must be completely de-Qualcommized.

When Huaguo Telecom used Qualcomm's CDMA2000 technology, it paid high patent fees. However, after Qualcomm gave up its 4G UMB technology, the 3G/4G standards were incompatible and used the weird SVLTE (single card dual standby). technology.

Zhao Guoqing asked: “Have they calculated the proportion of Qualcomm’s technology patents?”

Vladimir said: "Forty percent, they want 40%!"

Zhao Guoqing laughed angrily and said: "Give him at most 10%, Mr. Vladimir, China will definitely use the CITIC WCDMA standard. If Qualcomm doesn't agree, then don't agree. It's impossible for CITIC to allow Qualcomm's patents to occupy If the ratio is calculated at more than 10%, the big deal is that Zhongxun does not want the North American market, nor the global market, let GSM occupy the United States!"

"..."

CITIC can do without it, but can Motorola do without it? The biggest markets in the world are North America and Europe. Now that Europe has GSM, what else does Motorola have?

"Mr. Zhao..."

Zhao Guoqing shook his head. This was his bottom line. Giving up 10% was already his limit. As for 3G and 4G, Zhao Guoqing secretly gritted his teeth and made Qualcomm unable to get a hair out of it.

Vladimir was caught in the middle, hung up the phone helplessly, and said to Tommy in his office: "20%, give Qualcomm 20% of the patent fee, Motorola is willing to pay 10%, if they still don't agree, Then no one should eat it, let’s all die!”

Tomi said: "They are playing a game, and Qualcomm does not dare to give up on the global market!"

Vladimir said: "I know it too, but Motorola can't afford to wait!"

…

Three days later, Zhao Guoqing waited for the outcome of the negotiations between Motorola and Qualcomm before he realized how humble Motorola was.

The proportion of technology patents is 30% for Qualcomm, 30% for Motorola, and 40% for Sinocom.

Qualcomm charges 30%, and Motorola subsidizes 66% of Qualcomm’s patent fees.

For example, a mobile phone costs 10,000 yuan, and the patent fee is calculated as 5%, which is 500 yuan. Zhongxun and Motorola patents are free, and Qualcomm charges 150 yuan for the patent. In fact, Qualcomm only charges 50 yuan, of which 100 yuan is for Motorola. Subsidy to Qualcomm.

Specific to the manufacturer, if Zhongxun produces a mobile phone worth 10,000 yuan, it has to pay 50 yuan to Qualcomm, and Motorola will subsidize another 100 yuan to Qualcomm.

Motorola has to pay Qualcomm 150 in royalties to produce a mobile phone.

However, except for Motorola and CITIC, other manufacturers that produce CDMA-standard mobile phones need to pay a patent fee of 150 yuan.

Motorola made a huge compromise in exchange for Qualcomm no longer charging additional patent fees from operators.

Zhao Guoqing nodded secretly. Vladimir was also a ruthless person. During the call with Vladimir, Zhao Guoqing clearly felt that Vladimir's tone was very angry.

“Qualcomm doesn’t make mobile phones anyway!”

"If they produce a technical assembly, based on the principle of patent reciprocity, we can also charge their patent fees."

Although CITIC and Motorola have disclosed patent 2G standard licensing, this scope does not include Qualcomm. If Qualcomm produces mobile phones or sells technology assembly solutions, it will also have to pay patent fees to CITIC and Motorola...

In fact, Motorola's compromise was very meaningful. The WCDMA standard was submitted to the Telecommunications Standards Association of America on the same day, and their approval took only two days.

Sinocom formulated a revised document to absorb part of Qualcomm's patents and submitted it to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Posts of China.

On July 27, 1990, WCDMA was approved by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and became China's 2G communication standard. It was submitted to the International Communications Standards Committee together with the American standard.

WCDMA and GSM successfully merged.

GSM has its own halo, and European countries, Africa, and parts of South America are natural users of the GSM standard.

WCDMA is also not far behind. The basic market is China and the United States, as well as the United States' younger brothers, the stick country and the sanitary napkin country, as well as the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Canada, where the United States has a greater influence.

In Shenzhen City, Zhao Guoqing learned that the WCDMA standard and the GSM standard had all passed and become the world's 2G communication standard, and he toasted with Zheng Fei.

Zheng Fei took a long breath and said: "It's not easy. Finally, the world has the standards set by our country!"

Although Motorola is leading the charge, the foreign media seems to have completely ignored the existence of CITIC, highlighting Qualcomm and Motorola, and describing the WCDMA standard as an American standard.

This is to deceive the Western people in order to maintain their proud self-esteem. But as long as you join the WCDMA camp, you can't leave Zhongxun alone.

Of course, Huaneng cannot be ignored.

"The Ministry of Posts of China has decided to set up a WCDMA 2G mobile network. We in Shenzhen City will complete WCDMA 2G network coverage in the main urban area by the end of the year at the latest..."

Zhao Guoqing nodded. In fact, in addition to the significant improvement in information confidentiality and channel capacity, the biggest difference between the 2G network and the analog phone network is that digital signals are transmitted. The 2G network can not only make phone calls, but also send text messages.

Of course you can also go online!

Zhongxun's unique skill is GPRS-WAP data link technology.

Zhongxun's mobile phone can be connected to the computer's RJ45 network port using a data cable, and Zhongxun's mobile phone can be used as a MODEM for dial-up Internet access...

"Mr. Zhao, you are really amazing. The whole world is now promoting the Internet. Now a Zhongcom mobile phone can solve the problem of connecting Internet terminals!"

Zhao Guoqing smiled and said: "This also requires the support of the base station. It is time for Zhongxun and Huaneng to show their faces on the world stage..."
