Reborn since 1993

Chapter 263 The last life-saving straw

When Sun Zhengyi was mentioned, Li Dongling's indifferent attitude made Wu Ying and Lu Hongliang a little confused. Logically speaking, the two had never met each other before. He didn't know why Li Dongling had such an attitude.

But Li Dongling's attitude is obviously not a good thing for them this time. They thought that moving out Son Zhengyi would make this negotiation smoother, but now it feels like they shot themselves in the foot.

Sun Zhengyi was originally the foreign aid that Wu Ying and the others counted on, but now they can't count on them at all. Wu Ying knows that now they can only rely on themselves.

To be able to reach today, in the previous life, I broke into a huge situation. Although there was a sense of times making heroes, the final outcome was not very good. Less than ten years after relying on PHS, UTStarcom faced 3G, When the era of 4G mobile phones and smartphones arrived, because they couldn't keep up with the trend, they were completely dumped. In the end, Wu Ying was also kicked out of UTStarcom, which he founded.

But Wu Ying definitely has the ability and courage. He is a technical expert in the radio field. You know, he has participated in the design of the first 16-bit single-board computer in China, and is one of the main forces. The ability is evident.

While quitting her job and studying abroad in America, Wu Ying also joined Bell Labs, the same laboratory that has produced more than a dozen Nobel Prize winners and is now regarded as a global scientific research mecca, where Wu Ying became the project director. , where the geniuses were everywhere that day, how many brushes could suppress the geniuses under their hands? !

At Bell Labs, Wu Ying, who climbed to the position of supervisor, began to be restricted by the ceiling. In places like America and Europe, discrimination between ethnic groups is much more serious now than in later generations.

Being able to become a supervisor at Bell Labs is already the highest position that a yellow-skinned person can achieve. It is no longer possible to go further. Faced with suppression and unfair treatment, Wu Ying returned to China directly.

But now, seeing that Son Zhengyi's name was useless, Wu Ying took a deep breath and said directly to Li Dongling, "Mr. Li, I know that coming here this time may be a little abrupt and offensive. UTStarcom wants to get it." The patent authorization of PHS allows Starcom to produce PHS, and for this purpose, Starcom is willing to accept all the conditions it can afford!”

“The Postal and Telecommunications Bureau will not allow GSM and CDMA technologies to completely fail or even disappear. Domestic and foreign mobile phone manufacturers, R&D institutions, academic institutions, and practitioners who support these two communication standards will also not allow it!
It will take time for PHS to sell more mobile phones with PHS technology when other mobile phones counterattack, so that PHS technology and PHS mobile phones will become the mainstream of domestic mobile phones.

But in front of Wu Ying and others, the superficial work that should be done must be done. Otherwise, how will the leeks be cut? !

"Mr. Li, Starcom is not trying to snatch PHS patents, we hope to cooperate!" Wu Ying explained quickly.

Li Dongling raised his eyelids and glanced at Wu Ying seriously. The bearded man in front of him did have a somewhat unique vision.

When Li Dongling heard Wu Ying's words, he was not too surprised. On this day, Li Dongling had already talked with Ren Yuefeng and other senior executives before. It was a matter of time.

"Authorize PHS patents to Starcom?!" Li Dongling said with an "angry smile", "What kind of company does UT Starcom think it is? Why should Dongling Hi-Tech invest huge amounts of research and development funds? Give away the products you developed?”

After finishing speaking, Wu Ying and Lu Hongliang looked at Li Dongling anxiously, fearing that Li Dongling would blast them out and everything would be over.

Faced with the pressure coming from the head of the country's No. 1 technology giant, Wu Ying was also a little stressed, but at this time, she could only bite the bullet.

Seeing that Li Dongling did not make a sound to stop him, but was somewhat silent, Wu Yingchang breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued.

"It is true that PHS has the advantage now, but we all know that the PHS technology used by PHS is essentially inferior to GSM and CDMA. The Post and Telecommunications Bureau will not allow PHS to completely dominate the mobile phone industry. It will support GSM and CDMA." CDMA technology mobile phones are driven out of the domestic market!”

Wu Ying looked at Li Dongling, "Mr. Li, you have better connections and information in Yanjing than Starcom. You can know the attitude of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau just by asking!"

But with the PHS brand, it is difficult to achieve anything in such a short period of time, but with the help of other brands, it can be achieved very quickly! "

PHS and PHS technologies are now somewhat powerful in China and even in Asia.

However, the Yanjing General Post and Telecommunications Bureau will not allow PHS to dominate the country and completely kill GSM and CDMA. This is also a fact. After all, PHS's technology is not as good as the latter two. It is a fact. However, due to cost reasons, The speed at which they can be laid out cannot be compared to PHS.

As long as the development continues, the cost of base stations will be reduced, and the cost of mobile phones with GSM and CDMA technology will also be reduced. It is foreseeable that they will replace PHS. It is impossible for the General Administration of Posts and Telecommunications to not see this, and it can allow PHS to occupy advantage, but does not allow GSM and CDMA to disappear in the country. In addition, for PHS technology in mainland China, interest groups have emerged around PHS, including Yang Bohua, who was just transferred to the General Administration of Posts and Telecommunications, and Song Luancheng of Telecom, as well as ZTE Corporation of PHS base stations, related PHS R&D institutions, and academic staff Wait, these people, as well as a number of companies, have obtained huge returns and benefits from PHS, and have naturally become PHS interest groups.

Not only PHS, but also GSM and CDMA. Directors of domestic post and telecommunications bureaus, R&D institutions, mobile phone companies, academic staff, and practitioners who advocate the introduction of GSM and CDMA technologies have also formed interest groups.

In order to prevent GSM and CDMA from completely failing in China, they must fight back vigorously. After all, destroying people's financial resources is like killing their parents. They cannot sit back and wait for death.

When two interest groups start a war, it will not be based on personal will. They will definitely fight. By then, public opinion against PHS and PHS, and even the policies of certain departments and units, will probably be released.

Among them, I am afraid there is still some contribution from Dongling Hi-tech. Tanglin Hi-tech is still secretly developing mobile phones with GSM and CDMA technology. Li Dongling wants to rely on PHS to make money for Dongling Hi-tech in the mobile phone and communications industry. In terms of R&D expenses, we don’t want to kill GSM and CDMA, and we are secretly supporting these two technologies.

Seeing Li Dongling, who seemed to be persuaded by him, Wu Ying perked up and continued, "Aside from policy and mobile phone market reasons, there is another point!"

"The current production capacity of PHS is probably somewhat insufficient. The market is there. If PHS cannot capture it right away, then I'm afraid there will be other brands of mobile phones, or even copycat phones, grabbing the market!"

"UTStarcom has no intention of robbing PHS. We are just "helping" PHS. If those markets are occupied by copycat phones, then Tanglin Hi-Tech will get nothing!" Wu Ying said. They are all worried about Tanglin Hi-Tech.

Wu Ying and Lu Hongliang both looked at Li Dongling, who frowned slightly, waiting for Li Dongling's decision. This decision was also related to the fate of Starcom in the future. Despite Wu Ying's vow just now, he was also the same at this time. I feel nervous.

"What you said does make some sense," Li Dongling seemed to be convinced by him, Wu Ying couldn't help but smile on her face, but before he could laugh, Li Dongling's next words made him stand still on the spot, "But Tanglin Hi-Tech, why did you choose Starcom as Tanglin Hi-Tech's ally?!"

"As long as word gets out, PHS is willing to license its patents and technologies. I think there are many companies in China that are willing to cooperate with PHS, including Panda, BBK, Changhong, Haier, ZTE, and even Lenovo. Which one is better than Starcom?" He is very powerful, tell me the reason why I chose Starcom!”

The transition between heaven and hell came too fast. Wu Ying and Lu Hongliang were filled with bitterness at the moment. They thought they saw hope, but who knew they would end up in despair.

Wu Ying really can't think of a reason why Starcom is better than companies like Changhong, Haier, and Panda. No matter in terms of reputation, technology, R&D strength, or even funds, none of these companies is better than Starcom. Li Dongling really If they are willing to let them produce PHS, it will definitely be much better than Starcom now.

"Mr. Li..."

With a bitter and helpless smile on her face, Wu Ying felt that this trip was probably going to be in vain. At this time, she felt a little discouraged and had no hope.

But at this moment, Li Dongling suddenly spoke to Wu Ying and Wu Ying who were about to get up and leave, "Donngling Hi-Tech can give UTStarcom a chance, but whether you can seize it or not depends on you!"

"Mr. Li, please tell me!"

Wu Ying said with hot eyes, just like when he was about to fall off the cliff in despair, a life-saving straw suddenly stretched out. Even if it was a straw, he had to hold on tightly.

If Li Dongling had made strict demands from the beginning, Wu Ying would probably not have agreed. Even if he had agreed, he would have done so with some restraint. But when Li Dongling closed all the doors, he opened a crack in the window. , the light that shines through the crack in the window is the light of hope for Wu Ying!

"Donngling Hi-Tech can license PHS patents, as well as Chinese operating interface and Chinese SMS East technology, to UTStarcom.

In addition, Donglin Hi-Tech's parts industry chain can also be opened to Starcom, including chips, motherboards, batteries and other key components, which can be supplied to Starcom! "

Listening to the conditions proposed by Li Dongling, Wu Ying was excited at first, but as she listened, she turned into uneasy and uneasy. It was not that the conditions were not good, but that they were too good, but this was a pie falling from the sky. It's too big for him!
