Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

In this way, Robert Calvin agreed to the cooperation. But no specific contract will be signed, and the decision will not be made until the matter is resolved.

Bao Zixuan didn't care at all, as long as he got in the car, it would be easy. It's not that Heiyun's own communication technology is incompetent, it's just that it's worried about the military's distrust and other reasons. Motorola is regarded as their own child in the hearts of Americans; with its participation, at least it will not suffer in terms of public opinion.

Motorola attaches great importance to cooperation, except that it has not signed a formal contract. Other aspects have given great support. The team is personally led by Dr. Tony Bron, chief engineer of communications. There is no more authoritative figure at Motorola than him.

In fact, no contract was signed, mainly because Robert Galvin was worried about misunderstandings between the White House and the military. And there is no worry that the communication technology will be controlled by Heiyun, not only because of its confidence in the technology, but also because the patents are in the hands of Motorola.

As long as Heiyun dares to imitate, what awaits them will be huge fines and ruined reputation.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Although Dr. Bron is from Motorola, he is one of his own when he comes here. 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 Bron was involved in the whole process just now, and he still admires the work efficiency and state of the Black Cloud team very much. At least there is no such working atmosphere at Motorola. If this continues, the gap will become wider and wider.

Bao Zixuan was not worried about them leaking secrets at all, and they all signed strict confidentiality agreements. Once there is a leak, not only does it mean the end of your career early, but you may also face huge compensation and jail time. American engineers are very concerned about this aspect, and they must remain tight-lipped even when they return to Motorola.

If they have problems, Motorola will be implicated. For a company that is committed to building a century-old enterprise, no decision-maker will kill the goose and retrieve the eggs.

And so what if someone else gets the confidential information, they must have a technology patent, and if they get it, there is no way to promote it to the market. Besides, Heiyun Motors mainly produces cars. Motorola has not yet entered the field of car manufacturing, so mastering technology does not make much sense.

Tony Bron is 53 years old and holds a PhD from the University of Chicago. Although American companies do not pay attention to the location of universities, they basically follow the principle of proximity.

Universities where the company is located will definitely receive priority. After all, many projects require cooperation with local universities, so it is normal to have biases when recruiting.

Tony Bron was not interested in coming to participate in the research and development of the Black Cloud military vehicle communication system. Instead, he was very excited. I have been working at Motorola for more than 20 years and I really want to see how other high-tech companies operate.

Heiyun Group can develop so fast in just a few years, which must be unique. You can definitely use this opportunity to learn from others. Motorola has fallen behind the times. Tony Bron, an old employee who has worked in the company for half his life, certainly does not want to see Motorola decline. Live to grow old and learn to grow old, suitable for all successful people who want to make progress.

Tony Bron: "As for the communication system, Motorola can definitely complete the task. Please rest assured, Mr. Bao. There is just one problem that needs to be solved, the satellite network connection module problem."

"Heiyun Automobile is not an authorized enterprise, and Motorola does not dare to connect communication equipment to the military satellite network. Please understand that in the early stage, only simulation tests can be done, and the effect may be much worse. After all, many devices need to obtain actual parameters before they can make final decisions. debug."

"In addition, in terms of positioning, the GPS does not open a port for Heiyun Auto. It is illegal to install the Motorola positioning device on Heiyun Auto. This is also a troublesome matter."

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. It is not currently available for civilian use and can only be used by the U.S. military. If other NATO countries want to join, they still need the approval of the White House.

The Black Cloud Group has no access at all, and the US military will not agree. As the most important communications company in the United States, Motorola has provided communications equipment to many important military equipment. But without authorization from the military, they would never dare to install it on Heiyun cars. 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 three-dimensional position, three-dimensional speed and other information to all parts of the world in real time and all-weather. The predecessor of GPS is a meridian satellite positioning system developed by the U.S. military in 1958. It was officially put into use in 1964. This system uses a star network composed of 5-6 satellites to orbit the earth up to 13 times a day, and cannot provide Although the height information cannot be obtained, the positioning accuracy is also unsatisfactory.

However, the meridian satellite positioning system allowed the R\u0026D department to gain preliminary experience in satellite positioning and verified the feasibility of positioning by satellite systems, which paved the way for the development of GPS. Since satellite positioning shows great advantages in navigation and the meridian system has huge shortcomings in submarine and ship navigation, the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and civilian departments all feel the urgent need for a new satellite navigation system.

GPS was developed in the United States in the 1970s. It took 20 years and cost 20 billion US dollars. It was fully completed in 1994. It is a new generation satellite navigation and positioning system with all-round real-time three-dimensional navigation and positioning functions on sea, land and air. . GPS has won the trust of the majority of surveying and mapping workers with its outstanding 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, and engineering Deformation monitoring, resource survey, geodynamics and other disciplines, thus bringing 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 military. Tony Bron's concerns are not unreasonable. Heiyun Auto does not have permission to use the GPS positioning system, let alone encrypted military communications. Even if it is as powerful as Motorola, it is helpless. Without actual testing, the US military will not buy it.

Bao Zixuan: "What Dr. Bron said makes sense. Motorola should have technical reserves for GPS and encrypted communications. We don't need to test it. As long as you develop it according to the previous technical standards, Heiyun will handle the rest." "

After hearing what Bao Zixuan said, Tony Bron immediately understood what it meant. No wonder people can become super rich because their minds change so quickly. He has absolute confidence in the communication technology of Heiyun Group, otherwise he would not dare to say this.

It is not a big problem that the communication system and GPS do not need to be tested. First of all, there is no problem with Motorola's technology and experience. The communication system is similar to a personal radio, and this area is Motorola's advantage. It has been providing walkie-talkies to the U.S. military since World War II. In the field of encrypted communications, it 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 it can agree to such harsh conditions. It should be prepared for encrypted communication and GPS.

The people at Motorola felt a little weird about the previous invitation to cooperate; even more so with Tony Blum. With Heiyun Group's technical reserves in communications, there is no problem at all in producing and developing an in-vehicle communications system. Black Cloud mobile phone is the best example, it is at least two years ahead of similar products from Motorola.

Tony Bron is weighing the pros and cons of whether to report what happened to Black Cloud and the results of speculation to the board of directors. After a fierce struggle, he chose to compromise.

Canceling cooperation is the worst plan, which will bring huge losses to Motorola. If the guess is wrong, he will be the sinner of the company. No matter what, the possibility of becoming a scapegoat is very high. Rather than doing this, it is better to turn a blind eye and close one eye. The subsidy given to them by Heiyun Group is not low, at least three times that of working at Motorola.

Now even if I want to leave, other team members are not willing to leave. You can't get this job at any time. Destroying someone's financial resources is like killing your parents. Even if he said that he would get more benefits, he would still complete the task with peace of mind. I believe that Bao Zixuan will not be stingy.

It is with this idea in mind that Tony Bron completed this task well. The result was just as he expected. After the matter was completed, all members of the team received generous rewards, including engineering and technical personnel seconded from Motorola.

But in Bao Zixuan's mind, he was thinking about how to set up his own satellite communication network and navigation system. It seems that we need to speed up, otherwise we will be too passive.
