Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

China Mobile is not without competitors.

China Telecom and China Unicom will definitely find it very strange that they suddenly made a huge investment in Starlink.

Many senior executives of the three companies have been transferred back and forth, and it is unrealistic to completely keep the secrets secret.

So soon, people from China Unicom and China Telecom knew the reasons for mobile investment.

The ideas of relevant departments are on the one hand, and the innovative ideas of 5G networks are on the other.

After learning the inside story, people from China Telecom and China Unicom immediately took action.

"Mr. Cao, in the past two days, China Telecom and China Unicom have arranged for people at the vice president level of the headquarters to contact me, hoping to invest in the Starlink project like China Mobile."

"They even stated that they would not interfere in all the company's operations in the future, as long as they share relevant information with them."

"But giving away 30% of the shares in one go is a bit much, I think."

Zhao Siyu is now trapped in the troubles of happiness.

If someone comes up on a pole to give you money, they will just give you 10 billion yuan.

This situation was something I had never dared to think about before.

When working in aerospace science and technology, even for R\u0026D funding of RMB 100 million, let alone RMB 10 billion, sometimes I have to fight with other departments to the bitter end.

"It seems that several of these companies should be very interested in using Starlink to build a new 5G standard communication network."

"Otherwise, China Telecom and China Unicom would not be so enthusiastic."

After Cao Yang thought for a moment, he could understand what those people were thinking.

It is obviously something that will affect future development, and they definitely want to be involved.

Otherwise, if Starlink really develops a 5G network and they fail to keep up, the impact will be huge.

Maybe China Mobile will be the only one in the future.

"In order to promote 4G networks, several operators plan to spend hundreds of billions to build various base stations. Now through Starlink, large-scale equipment investment in the 5G era can be avoided. This attraction is naturally very huge."

"Otherwise their motivation wouldn't be that high."

"But if we really announce this plan to the outside world, it is estimated that the Starlink satellite system will have a greater impact."

When Zhao Siyu said this, Cao Yang felt that he could do it.

The impact of the Starlink satellite system has become greater, which is not a bad thing.

Even he felt that moving them would be very interesting.

Once this information is announced, their stock prices may rise sharply.

"China Unicom and China Telecom are latecomers, and we can only leave them each with 5% of the shares at most."

"If you invest, it should be slightly higher on the basis of mobility."

Cao Yang felt that since China Unicom and China Telecom had come to their doorstep, they would definitely accept these investments.

This will also be beneficial to further promoting Starlink in the future.

But it was not in Cao Yang's interest to give away a large number of shares too early, so he could only give it a 50% discount.

First come, first served. They came late and have relatively small shares. This should be understandable, right?

With this instruction from Cao Yang, Zhao Siyu naturally had a direction for negotiations.

Although neither China Telecom nor China Unicom are particularly satisfied with this solution, they have no other options.

Unless they completely give up investing in the Starlink satellite system.

Soon, China Mobile also knew about China Unicom and China Telecom.

However, even if they have opinions about this kind of thing, they can't go too far to stop it.

After all, the opinions of relevant departments must also be considered.

So simply, let's get together and discuss investment and future development.

Then they jointly held a press conference to officially announce the concept of integrating future 5G network construction with the Starlink satellite system.

As a result, Starlink immediately became a hot search topic again.

The impact of this matter is greater than the previous investment by China Mobile Investment.

…

"Mr. Xu, if 5G really uses the Starlink satellite system in the future, wouldn't all the preparation work we have put into 5G be in vain?"

After Lian Zhitian saw the joint press conference between Daystar Technology and China Mobile, China Unicom, and Telecom, he immediately realized the crisis.

Warwick's core business is actually in the field of communications.

That's their base.

In the 4G field, Warwick has many core patents and technologies, but globally, it is on par with Qualcomm and others.

They are preparing to make full efforts in the 5G field and completely become the most technologically advanced existence in the world.

But if 5G does not require base stations and directly uses Starlink for connection, the impact will be huge.

"It's not all in vain. The United States and Europe will definitely not use the 5G standard based on Starlink."

Xu Jun was not as worried as Lian Zhidian.

Warwick began investing manpower and material resources in the research and development of 5G technology in 2009, and has now accumulated a lot.

These accumulations cannot disappear just because of a press conference.

Of course, if the combination of Starlink system and 5G is really successful, it will definitely have an impact on Warwick.

At least in China's domestic 5G base station market, they will lose a large number of orders.

"Although Europe and the United States will not use it, China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom all support Daystar to combine the Starlink satellite system with the 5G network, which will definitely bring huge benefits to the development of the global 5G industry. impact."

"I think this matter still needs to be investigated carefully."

"If it doesn't work, we still have to participate in this project."

Lian Shitian's sense of crisis is very strong.

Although Warwick's current business is slowly diversifying, it will never give up its basic base of communications business.

If the base station business in the 5G era is really going to be affected, then we have to think of some solutions that can replace these businesses.

"I will communicate with the board of directors first to see if we can also contact Venus Technology to invest in the Starlink satellite system project."

"I think even if they want to use Starlink to build 5G, Starlink will still need a variety of related communication equipment."

"In this part of the market, we can actually cooperate well with Daystar."

Crisis brings opportunity.

For Xu Jun, expanding his business to Starlink is also something worth considering.

"This is indeed something you can try. Our technology should still be of some help to Starlink."

"In the future, we can also consider working on Starlink terminal equipment, and there may be other unexpected gains."

Lian Zhitian followed Xu Jun's thoughts and expanded his thoughts, and gradually became less anxious.

4G has not yet been officially put into use, and 5G will certainly not come so soon.

The reaction time left for Warwick is still relatively long.

However, some companies see it differently.

"Mr. Li, Venus Technology and several major operators are planning to cooperate on 5G networks in the future. I think the headquarters needs to pay attention to it."

"If they really do it, then our mobile phone business in China will probably be in big trouble."

Chaihang now keeps an eye on the activities of various companies in the Nanshan system every day.

Normally, Venus Technology has nothing to do with Samsung.

But now people suddenly get involved in 5G network construction, and the situation immediately becomes different.

So even though 5G is still far away, Chaihang thinks Samsung needs to pay attention to it.

"I have just seen the relevant news. Venus Technology is really capable of doing things."

Li Zailin felt a sense of powerlessness at this time.

Samsung's business development in China has reached a bottleneck stage.

Whether it is semiconductor components or consumer electronics such as mobile phones and computers, they have encountered huge growth resistance.

It is very difficult for them to develop and grow.

"Indeed, when they launched the rocket before, no one would have thought that this matter would be related to the 5G network."

"Most people would never have thought of such a wild thing, but after they announced the relevant plans, it made people feel that the possibility of success was very high."

Chai Hang's words touched Li Zailin's heart.

He felt this way too.

It is obviously a very unreliable thing, but after other people's planning, it becomes very possible to realize it.

This situation is very difficult for Samsung to break.

Although in January this year, Korea also successfully launched the Luolao rocket, which symbolized that their ability to enter space has improved a lot.

But compared with Daystar No. 9, it is obviously not good enough.

Li Zailin also knew this well.

The aerospace industry is not Korea’s dominant industry to begin with.

The United States also did not want Korea to develop these industries as its own key industries.

"Please sort out the information on Starlink. I will go back to the headquarters to report specifically and see what plans should be adopted to deal with this situation in the future."

This kind of matter has exceeded Li Zailin's ability to handle it, so he can only choose to report it.

As for how the headquarters will respond in the end, it is not something that can be predicted now.

The one that has a similar reaction to Samsung is Apple.

"Kuka, the affiliated companies of Honor Mobile in China are preparing to join hands with China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom to launch a new 5G standard. I think the company needs to pay full attention to this matter."

Although Wang Ziming feels that the 5G network based on the Starlink system is not that easy to build, there is a high probability that it will eventually fail.

But he didn't dare to gamble.

If China really builds such a 5G network by then, Apple's mobile phones will be very passive.

Maybe by then Apple’s mobile phones will never have a chance to be sold in China.

Their current generation of mobile phones is planned to be completely separated from the design elements of Honor mobile phones in order to completely avoid patent disputes and be able to be sold in the Chinese market.

But if you sell in the Chinese market, you must adapt to the communication standards of China.

"Chinese companies want to develop their own set of 5G network standards?"

"Wang, there are still more than half a month until April Fool's Day. Are you kidding us?"

Kuka obviously does not believe that Chinese companies can formulate 5G standards. This is simply unrealistic.

Mobile communication technology originated in the West and can be traced back to the end of the 19th century.

At that time, Guglielmo Marconi achieved the first radio communication in human history, which marked the beginning of wireless communication.

In 1973, American Motorola engineer Martin Cooper invented the world's first mobile phone, which was an important milestone in mobile communication technology.

Subsequently, the first commercial mobile phone went on sale in 1983, and the first-generation mobile communication system was born in Chicago, United States, in 1986, marking the official entry of mobile communication technology into the commercialization stage.

This is also the so-called 1G technology era and the era of big brother.

At that time, analog signal transmission was used, which had many shortcomings, such as unstable signals and low voice quality.

In the 1990s, with the introduction of digital signal processing technology, mobile communication technology entered the 2G era.

2G technology uses digital modulation technology, which significantly increases communication capacity and enables wireless transmission of text information, laying the foundation for the development of the mobile Internet.

1 system is put into operation in Europe, marking that mobile communications have officially entered the 2G era.

The subsequent 3G networks and the 4G networks already in use in countries such as the United States can be said to be Western-led mobile communication technologies.

Now that Wang Zimu told him that Chinese companies would dominate the new 5G network technology, he simply didn't believe it.

This is simply impossible.

"Kuka, although this matter is a bit unbelievable, I am really not kidding."

"I will send specific information to your email later. After reading it, you will know that I am not joking."

Wang Ziming was a little helpless.

In fact, he understood why Kuka had such a reaction.

If it weren't for the existence of a company like Venus Technology that cannot be speculated based on common sense, he does not think that China would have much influence in the formulation of 5G standards.

At least in 2013, no one thought that Chinese companies could dominate 5G standards.

"King, what is going on?"

Hearing what Wang Ziming said, Kuka was also a little confused.

Could it be that the situation is really so unsatisfactory?

"You must be familiar with Honor Technology. They are all companies originally owned by Nanshan Group."

"There is another company under Nanshan Group called Venus Technology. Their most famous product is the Venus 9 recyclable launch rocket."

"Based on this rocket technology, they have announced their grand plan for the Starlink satellite system."

"Prepare to launch tens of thousands of satellites into space in the next few years to form a new communication network."

"Now, China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom, the three operators that monopolize the Chinese communications market, have all invested in the Starlink satellite system, and have officially announced that they will develop 5G networks based on this Starlink."

"That's why I think the company needs to pay attention to this matter."

As Wang Ziming explained, Kuka's expression gradually became serious.

He could already understand why Wang Ziming was so nervous and focused.

The Venus 9 recyclable rocket was something he had seen while watching the news.

And he also knew that Musk's Space Exploration Technology Company in the United States was also preparing to take a similar route, but the launch failed some time ago.

Now that a Chinese company has joined forces with several major operators to work on the future 5G network, it is really possible that something will happen.

"The impact of the 5G standard is very huge, and it is definitely not just us who are paying attention."

"At that time, I will contact Qualcomm, Motorola, Nokia and other companies. It would be best if we all hold a meeting together to see how to deal with this situation."

What Daystar did was like thunder on the ground, shocking the world.

Ordinary people outside don’t know what big impact Starlink-based 5G will have on the industry. Do they, the industry insiders, still know?

If one thing goes wrong, the right to speak in the communications industry will be taken away by China in the future.

This is a situation that those international giants absolutely do not want to see.

…

"Wang Jing, please arrange a team to pay close attention to the actions of companies such as Daystar and China Mobile on 5G communication standards. Once there is any substantial progress, be sure to report to me as soon as possible."

Qualcomm's Paul naturally also received the news reported by the China branch.

At the beginning, he didn't take it too seriously, but after reading the relevant introduction materials of Starlink, and later people from Apple and Motorola took the initiative to call and communicate about the matter, he realized the seriousness of the problem.

If the Starlink satellite system is developed, it will really be possible for 5G to be built based on it.

The temptation is quite strong for some countries.

But this is certainly not what Qualcomm wants to see.

In recent years, Qualcomm has been betting on the mobile communications market. Whether it was in the 2G era, the 3G era, or the current 4G era, it has been full of success.

In terms of 5G technology, Qualcomm has also done a lot of preliminary research.

If China itself builds a brand new 5G network based on Starlink, that is something Qualcomm will never accept.

It will even directly lead to Qualcomm's revenue plummeting by then.

In the United States, anyone who affects his or her ability to make money is his or her worst enemy.

Now that Daystar is influencing Qualcomm to make money, it is naturally Qualcomm’s enemy.

"Paul, I have made appointments with some acquaintances at China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom in the past few days to inquire about the news."

"At the same time, we also asked a specialized consulting company to help analyze and investigate this matter."

"Once Daystar makes any substantive moves on 5G, we will get the news immediately."

As the general manager of Qualcomm China, Wang Jing is naturally very aware of the importance of 5G standards to Qualcomm.

Why Qualcomm has been able to live such a comfortable life in recent years is not because of the countless Qualcomm patents on 3G and 4G mobile phone chips.

Many mobile phone companies can only use Qualcomm chips.

Because after using Qualcomm's chips, you basically don't have to worry about whether the smartphone will infringe the patents of other mobile phone companies in terms of other parts and other designs.

When Qualcomm authorizes any company to use its chip technology, it will require the other party to reverse authorize itself to use their patents.

This rogue clause can solve the problem of patent infringement for many mobile phone companies.

This is also an important reason why Qualcomm can dominate the mobile phone chip market.

But once the 5G standard becomes Venus-led and is developed based on Starlink, the situation will be completely different.

Most of the patents Qualcomm has accumulated in the past will be difficult to continue to play a role in the 5G era.

This is something they absolutely cannot accept.

"That's not enough. The best thing is to get inside Venus and get their various updates in a timely manner."

"Then we will also promote the formulation of 5G standards as soon as possible and issue relevant standards as soon as possible."

Paul was anxious now.

It can even be said that companies such as Daystar United Mobile and others are going to develop a new 5G standard, and Qualcomm is the most anxious.

Other companies, including Samsung, Apple, and Nokia, are relatively less influential than Qualcomm.

"I try my best!"

Wang Jing nodded helplessly and took the job.

Communications giants and mobile phone giants around the world are shocked by the news released by Daystar and the three major operators. Everyone is thinking about how to deal with this situation.

As the instigator, Cao Yang calmly held a kettle in the office and watered his Dieffenbachia.

This pot of dieffenbachia has been placed in Cao Yang's office for many years. It is now one meter tall, has lush branches and leaves, and is quite eye-catching.

"Mr. Cao, many people have been asking me about the 5G network in the past few days. I feel that this decision should be a cake that touches many people."

Zhao Siyu felt that it was still necessary to report to Cao Yang what he had encountered in the past few days.

Building a new 5G standard based on the Starlink satellite system seems to have a greater impact than I imagined.

He could feel that there would definitely be various obstacles behind this matter.

"The communications industry is an industry with a vast market. If we set communications standards ourselves, it will naturally touch the cake of many people."

"For the Starlink satellite system, ordinary countries do not have the strength to launch tens of thousands of satellites into space."

"Besides, by the time they gain strength, we will have occupied all the available space locations."

Cao Yang was not surprised at all by the huge reaction from all parties.

Chinese companies want to formulate their own 5G standards, which completely subverts all past practices.

And this also means that many companies and many people will suffer losses.

Therefore, it is normal for some companies and people to come out to oppose it.

"Then we will continue to develop at our own pace and ignore the doubts from the outside?"

Zhao Siyu couldn't help but confirm it again.

Not everyone is optimistic about the news on China Internet about Venus preparing to engage in 5G communications based on the Starlink satellite system.

There are even more people on the Internet who are not optimistic about it than those who are optimistic about it.

Cao Yang is floating!

The morning star is floating!

There are many similar reviews on the Internet.

It's not surprising that some people even cursed directly.

"Let's develop at our own pace. No matter how much we explain now, it doesn't make sense to actually come up with something."

Cao Yang said so, so Zhao Siyu naturally stopped worrying about it.

However, although he is no longer entangled, some companies are struggling.
