The richest man

Chapter 208 Open the Internet Era
Motorola sues Legendary Technology for patent plagiarism.

This incident was fueled by major media in the United States, and it soon spread all over the world. Many people can't help wondering whether Legend Technology really copied Motorola's patents?

This matter aroused national discussion.

Of course, it also caused serious damage to the brand image of Legendary Technology.

Legend Technology immediately counterattacked, went to court, and sued Motorola for fabricating out of nothing, which damaged the brand image of Legend Technology, and demanded Motorola to pay compensation and apologize.

The lawsuit between the two companies has attracted worldwide attention.

The sales volume of “Honor Phone 1” decreased slightly.

"This is the face of the Americans. It's too shameless. If they can't compete head-on, they start playing dirty tricks. Legendary Technology has listed evidence in many newspapers such as "Hong Kong Daily", "Los Angeles Times", and "Financial Times". It proves that "Honor Mobile 1" is independently developed, and there are many patent certificates! "A Chinese man said indignantly.

Another man also said: "The most ridiculous thing is that Motorola copied their patents for Legendary Technology, but up to now, Motorola still hasn't pointed out which patent Legendary Technology copied. Hehe, you say this is ridiculous!"

"No way, the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, climbing and biting indiscriminately."

……

……

Zhang Jun was a little angry. Originally, Legend Technology was cooperating with European and American telecommunications companies to build base stations and sell mobile phones.

But the lawsuit led to the suspension of most of the cooperation.

However, Southeast Asia is relatively smooth, and cities with more developed economies are willing to cooperate with Legend Technology.

For them, patent or non-patent is equivalent to nothing.

Motorola can't affect them here.

On the contrary, Zhang Jun has many industries in Southeast Asia and has great influence. The local government will definitely favor him more.

It may be because of Zhang Jun that mainland China pays more attention to mobile phones, so this life started the construction of analog mobile communication base stations very early.

Shenzhen has received technical assistance from Legend Technology, and temporarily established two analog mobile communication base stations.

After the completion of the analog mobile communication base station, the "Honor Phone 1" will be launched.

After the news came out, major media in Shenzhen rushed to report, and almost all the headlines on the front page were related to mobile phones.

After reading the newspaper, the people were shocked and thought, it is amazing and unbelievable that there is such a convenient telephone in the world.

Many people can't even believe it.

Is this black technology?
After reading the news, everyone can't help but want to own such a mobile phone!

However, when one saw the price, everyone flinched immediately.

The retail price of a "Honor Phone 1" is 1.5 RMB, which is outrageously expensive.

At this time, there are very few households with ten thousand yuan. How can anyone afford such an expensive phone?
In fact, "Honor 1" is sold very cheaply in the mainland, and Legendary Technology doesn't make much money. Zhang Jun just wants to develop the mainland market and let everyone get acquainted with the "Honor" brand first, not "Motorola".

Europe and the United States are the main markets for mobile phones.

The Shenzhen Post Office took away 200 "Honor Phone 1". It never occurred to me that there are quite a lot of households with ten thousand yuan. When it went on sale, more than 100 "Honor Phone 1" were sold.

Shenzhen is a special economic zone. It has been five years since the reform and opening up, and there are many people doing business in the sea. Therefore, the number of households with ten thousand yuan is relatively large.

And those who are willing to spend so much money on mobile phones are quite wealthy, because communication service fees are not cheap.

However, "Honor Phone 1" is a powerful tool to prove that you are a big boss and rich.

Walking into the street, everyone will cast envious eyes.

……

……

Ever since "Honor Phone 1" was developed, Zhang Jun asked Legendary Film Company to put more advertisements of "Honor Phone 1" in the film and television works. Zhang Jun also gave Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long and other popular stars a Honor phone.

The set of the movie "Food Trucks".

"Actors take their places, Action!!!" Hong Jinbao issued orders while holding the Honor mobile phone, and the people on the side couldn't help showing a hint of envy when they saw this.

It cost tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, and it looks really domineering.

Hong Jinbao enjoyed everyone's envious eyes very much.

In fact, since Hong Jinbao got the "Glory Phone", he has never left his phone almost every day, especially when he is on the set, he holds the phone in his hand to guide the actors and give orders, which is really chic! ! !
Hong Jinbao may not have thought that because of him, soon... people will call mobile phones "big brothers"!
Because Hong Jinbao is Cheng Long's senior brother, and his status in the Hong Kong circle is equivalent to Taishan Beidou, naturally even Cheng Long has to give him three points of courtesy, so he is called the big brother.

The name "Big Brother" sounds kind and aggressive, so that it became popular very quickly.

Less than two months after the "Honor Mobile" was released, the name "Big Brother" became popular in Asia, not only in Hong Kong, but gradually even the mainland, Taiwan, Japan and Southeast Asia called this brick mobile phone "Big Brother". .”

Hong Jinbao had just finished filming today when his mobile phone rang.

Ten minutes ago, Zhang Jun was chatting with Shangguan Muye, and Shangguan Muye proposed to let Hong Jinbao endorse "Honor Phone 1".

Shangguan Muye said that many Hong Kong people call the "Honor Phone" the "big brother", so they can't help but ask Hong Jinbao to speak for Honor.

When Zhang Jun heard this, he thought it was a good idea, so he immediately picked up the phone and started Hong Jinbao.

Here, Hong Jinbao saw that it was Zhang Jun's call, and hurriedly answered the call.

"Boss, you have something to do with me!" Hong Jinbao asked loudly.

Zhang Jun responded with a smile: "Well, I have something to do with you. It's like this. Legend Technology wants you to endorse "Honor Phone", what do you want? "

Hong Jinbao was overjoyed after hearing this.

"Honor mobile phone" is the hottest topic at the moment, and being able to endorse this product will definitely bring your reputation to a higher level.

"Boss, I definitely agree, it's just what I wish for!!!" Hong Jinbao replied excitedly with a happy face.

Zhang Jun smiled slightly, "Well, then you come to Legend Technology at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning to discuss signing a contract."

"Okay, boss, I will be there on time!"

……

……

The mobile phone market is still relatively small at present, the main reason is that it is too expensive.

Zhang Jun is urging Legend Technology to develop a new generation of mobile phones. At the same time, he also plans to establish a company called "Qualcomm" to start research and development of CDMA technology.

This wave of pre-emptive layout is bound to kill the original Qualcomm in its cradle.

And if CDMA technology develops faster, maybe in the 2G communication era, CDMA will be able to replace GSM.

Cdma technology has not yet appeared, and even if it did, the industry was generally skeptical at the time, and Qualcomm did not start developing cdma until 1989.At that time, Qualcomm was only a small company with limited financial resources, and it would not put all its eggs in one basket. Therefore, the development speed of cdma was relatively slow. When GSM was developed in Europe, cdma was still weak, and Qualcomm was fighting alone. The strength is weak and the publicity is not enough. In the 2G era, CDMA lost to GSM.

In fact, cdma technology is much stronger than GSM, but sometimes, strong does not necessarily win.

Of course, in the 3G era, GSM has been completely behind, and cdma has become the overlord.

Qualcomm has been working on cdma for nearly 20 years, and it is finally time to harvest.

Before Hong Jinbao came, Zhang Jun held a meeting with the company's top management. He explained the importance of wireless communication technology to everyone.

"By the end of the 80s, analog communication technology will be replaced by digital communication technology. We must strive to be the first to eat crabs and develop mature cdma technology!!"

In the end, Zhang Jun made a final decision, which can be regarded as setting a deadline for everyone.

After the meeting, Zhang Jun returned to the office.

The secretary told him that Hong Jinbao had arrived and was currently resting in the reception room of Legend Technology Company.

"Tell Hong Jinbao to go directly to Legendary Technology Company to discuss the endorsement, instead of coming to my side."

"Yes!"

Zhang Jun sat down on the soft sofa, and his mind flew to the soon-to-be-established Qualcomm.

In terms of analog communication technology, Legendary Technology does not have much advantage.

Once the cdma technology is mature, I can handle Motorola and let them understand what Qualcomm charges.

Right now, Legend Technology is completely engaged with Motorola, and even competes fiercely in other fields.Among them, the chip market is the main one.Legendary Technologies not only makes chips for computers and game consoles, but has also begun to dabble in chips for cars.

Although Motorola is powerful, it depends on who it is compared with.

Recently, Motorola has been in a state of desperation, and has been sniped by legendary technology companies in many aspects, causing great losses.

Motorola can be regarded as stealing chickens but losing money.

……

The mobile phone has unlimited prospects.

Globally powerful companies have entered this industry one after another.

Sony, Ericsson, Philips, Panasonic and many other companies...

One can imagine how fierce the competition will be in the age of mobile phones.

However, before entering the 2G era, it was difficult to reduce the size of mobile phones, and they were still like bricks.At present, the legendary technology company also calls the mobile phone a mobile phone, while others generally call the mobile phone a mobile phone.

Since 1G mobile phones cannot make much improvement, Zhang Jun directly asked the company to develop 2G mobile phones and invested huge sums of money in research and development of cdma technology.

Of course, the battery has gotten smaller.

Legend Technology is committed to the development of lithium batteries, and strives to become the first company in the world to launch commercial lithium batteries.

In the previous life, this honor belonged to Sony.The time interval is only seven or eight years.

half a month later,
The advertisement endorsed by Hong Jinbao began to be broadcast in Hong Kong.

Big Brother personally endorsed "Big Brother" and recognized the "Glory" brand.

After the advertisement was broadcast, the effect was very good, which aroused heated discussions among the people, and the sales of "Honor Mobile" surged.

Within a week, 4000 "Honor" units were sold in Hong Kong.

At this time, on the streets of Hong Kong, the market can see many men in suits and leather shoes holding mobile phones to show off deliberately there, and when they make calls, they speak loudly and scary, for fear that others will not know that you are calling with a "big phone" Telephone.

Hong Jinbao's popularity has also skyrocketed. Many people have seen his plays before, but they may not know that he is still Cheng Long's big brother.

But after the broadcast of the "Glory" endorsement advertisement this time, it aroused heated discussions. Only then did everyone know that Hong Jinbao is still Cheng Long's big brother-a veritable big brother!
Cheng Long was so envious at this time, he couldn't help sighing, thinking, why didn't such a good thing happen to him.The more Cheng Long thought about it, the more panicked he became.

His big boss——Zhang Jun never allowed him to endorse the products of the Legendary Group.

why?
Cheng Long asked a very strong question.

But he couldn't tell.

However, the boss is a good person, and he did not treat him badly, and he accepted many international advertising endorsements for himself, such as Philips, Samsung, Panasonic and other companies.

Cheng Long shook his head, put these things behind him, and stopped thinking about them.

He took over a new movie - "Red Fan District", planning to break into the Hollywood market.

Looking out of the window, Cheng Long couldn't help but secretly said that it's a pity that the two movies "Resident Evil" and "Death Train" are popular all over the world, but their styles don't suit him, so they didn't get to act in it. I hope "Red Fan District" can succeed. .

……

……

Near 1984, at that time, the American Cisco company should be established, and then launch the world's first router product.

Zhang Jun can make them specialize in the front?

Legendary Technologies Inc.

Zhang Jun looked at a small white box with joy on his face. This is the router developed by Legend Technology Company.Since the designer developed it according to Zhang Jun's requirements, the appearance of this router is similar to that of later generations of routers, except that it is a little bigger.

"Routers can connect different networks together, and are currently mainly used in schools, research institutions, governments, enterprises, etc..." Zhang Jun picked up the router, looked at it, and said.

"The school alone can make us full, not to mention other potential users."

"and……"

Speaking of this, Zhang Jun suddenly paused.

After a few seconds, he said: "The Internet era is coming, and the router is an indispensable key product!"

After a pause, Zhang Jun asked: "Do you know the Arpanet in the United States?"

Some people shook their heads, some nodded.

Zhang Jun explained: "Arpanet is a network established by the United States in 1969 out of military needs. The U.S. military can implement communication and exchange functions on this network. Later, Arpanet was used for scientific research and education. Even gradually commercialized."

"Everyone, just imagine, if the Arpanet covers the entire United States, then even at home, you can use the Arpanet to communicate with good friends all over the United States. The exchange of information is not only text, but also Sound, pictures and video. Even, you can do business on Arpanet..."

Zhang Jun didn't talk too much, just let everyone understand the importance of the Internet.Arpanet is the predecessor of the Internet.

"The rapid development of the network will inevitably increase the demand for routers, so from today, routers will be listed as one of the core industries of Legendary Technology!"

"Yes!!!" Everyone responded in unison.

"En." Zhang Jun nodded slightly.

At this time, Zhang Jun couldn't help thinking whether to develop WWW first. With WWW technology, browsers can be developed, thereby promoting the development of the Internet.

But after thinking about it carefully, I decided not to do it so quickly.

Once other people discover the value of WWW technology, the potential of the Internet will be discovered, and the competition for routers will become more severe.Or wait until the technology accumulated here is enough to lead other companies, and then develop WWW, and then develop browsers, portals, and promote the rapid development of the global Internet!Life is hard without internet!
