Silicon Valley

After a period of time, the Mitsui consortium and the Mitsubishi consortium got together for a meeting again. At the meeting, both sides looked furious.

"Henry Williams really wanted to make things difficult for us. He would send someone to grab us for any land or frontage we liked, and then drive up the price to make us spend more!"

"That's right, it's really disgusting!"

"Yeah, if this goes on, how much money will we have to spend!"

"If you want me to say, we use tricks, such as pretending to be interested in a certain facade, and then let him rob us. When the price rises, we will let go!"

"Well, others are not stupid. If the location of the facade is indeed better, he will buy it directly. It is right to invest in real estate and make money in the future; on the other hand, if the facade is not good, he will not pay a high price. How are you going to cheat him? And if we don’t hurry up and open the store, the losses will be even more severe. You should know how many companies are under the two consortiums, and the daily losses alone cannot be compared with one or two facades! "Nobuyuki Mitsui shook his head, and immediately said in a calm tone, "However, since Henry Williams tried every means to prevent us from opening a store, it shows that he is afraid that we will establish our own sales channels, so we should sell more quickly. The channel is established!"

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but hold back their breath, but as Nobuyuki Mitsui said, the daily losses of the two consortiums are far greater than the battle over appearances, so they can only smash their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs, don't mention how aggrieved up!

But, is Henry really afraid of them opening a branch?

In Henry's view, Japan's electronic products are no longer good, but cosmetics and skin care products are very powerful, and the main core industry of Mitsui and Mitsubishi consortium is electronic products! Of course, Japanese cars are also very powerful, but "when Tesla comes out, who will compete with it?" Henry is letting people develop pure electric vehicles, which are jointly developed by Rolls-Royce Motor Company, Bugatti Automobile Company and Super Energy Company. Although the company It has not yet been established, but it is making technical reserves, and the key technology - "super battery" is already in sight. At that time, with Henry's financial resources, he will lay charging stations all over the world and subvert the entire automobile industry. Small Japanese cars will also be doomed... What's more, Henry is currently holding the throat of Japan's minerals, which has seriously affected Japan's steel industry. It has affected Japan's automobile industry, increasing the manufacturing cost of each car and reducing price competitiveness!

In addition, the ultimate purpose of Henry's acquisition of physical stores is to serve e-commerce. More and more people are willing to shop online, and even place orders for meals online. Through the Internet, users can solve any problem without leaving home, which is the future development trend.

The Mitsui Foundation and the Mitsubishi Foundation have opened so many stores, but if they cannot occupy a place in the Internet field, they will lose money and die in the future! Unless it is said that they have an artifact-level product like the iPhone! After the rise of Internet e-commerce, many department stores closed down. In the previous life, why did the boss of Wanda Group go to the e-commerce field so hard? It’s not because the offline physical department stores are no good. Wanda E-Commerce", threatened to challenge Alibaba, but the result... the dog took it! E-commerce is not so easy to gain a foothold. If the Mitsui and Mitsubishi consortia want to enter in the future, they must first ask Henry if he agrees! ! !

...

On April 20, 2002, Qualcomm called to say that it had completed the development of the core hardware and software of the 4G network wireless transmission system, and had officially submitted the preliminary wireless communication system standard to the International Telecommunication Union ITU! And this speed is 3 years earlier than in the previous life.

Hearing this, Henry nodded and said that Williams Telecom and Williams Electronics would cooperate with Qualcomm to conduct large-scale experimental tests and complete the research on system standards and system practicality of the general wireless environment.

Qualcomm actually completed the development of the 3G network in 1998, namely the CDMA2000 standard. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) determined in May 2000 the three major wireless interface standards of WCDMA, CDMA2000, and TD-SCDMA, and wrote them into the 3G technical guidance document "International Mobile Communications Plan 2000".

TD-SCDMA is a 3G network jointly developed by China Mobile and Germany's Siemens, but it started at a low level and is the worst among the three.

WCDMA is based on GSM, a standard jointly formulated by Europe and Japan, which is better than CDMA2000 and has a higher market share.

Therefore, CDMA2000 is in a very awkward position, but CDMA2000 is the most mature and standard 3G technology, and it is easy to make a smooth transition from 3G to 4G. Therefore, Henry simply asked Qualcomm to skip the promotion work of 3G and fully develop 4G.

With Henry's full support, the 4G network has basically been completed, but many experiments are still needed to perfect the 4G technology. Therefore, the 4G network is still a long way from commercial application.

However, as soon as the news that Qualcomm submitted the 4G wireless communication network standard came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the industry.

Although WCDMA is very good, as a new technology, its development is slow and immature, and it is very far away from 4G. I never thought that Qualcomm has applied for the 4G network standard. Do you want to be so awesome! At this moment, the mainstream network in the world is still 2G, and 3G is being vigorously developed, but Qualcomm's sudden approach has caused countless telecom companies to hesitate. In the end is the development of 3G, or the development of 4G? There is no doubt that 4G is definitely better than 3G, but I don't know how far Qualcomm has developed this technology. If Qualcomm launches a 4G network within three years, telecom companies are willing to wait, but after a long time, they would rather use 3G first and upgrade to 4G in the future... However, when telecom companies think that Henry Williams is behind Qualcomm , His investment in technology research and development, that is extraordinarily important! As a result, telecom companies can't help but increase their confidence in Qualcomm. At the moment, many telecommunications companies have secretly decided to bear with it for a while and directly use the 4G network in the future!

For a while, Europe and Japan were depressed. No one cares about the WCDMA network that they worked so hard to develop! Even if there is, the price offered is very low.

"WCDMA is a 3G network. If the price is lower, I'll just make do with it. You know, our telecom company will definitely use 4G network in the future!"

"3G and 4G are competing for network speed. Even the WCDMA network with the best network speed has a theoretical value of only 14.4Mb. Sometimes it takes half a day to open a website. But the 4G network can reach more than 100Mb, and you won’t be stuck when watching videos on your mobile phone!!!”

"..."

At this time, many mobile phone manufacturers around the world have sent representatives to Qualcomm to cooperate with it in formulating 4G network standards, so that they can launch 4G mobile phones in the future. With the cooperation of so many companies, there is no doubt that Qualcomm will move faster in the development of 4G networks!

Henry suddenly felt that the combination of iPhone and 4G would definitely attract countless people. Of course, the iPhone will also launch 2G and 3G mobile phones. After all, building a 4G network is not easy. As a developed country, the United States will definitely take the lead in using 4G networks, and there are still many countries and regions in the world that are waiting for the iPhone to conquer cities!

Now, Henry wants Qualcomm to get as many 4G patents as possible, so as to share more profits in the future. In the previous life, the promotion of 4G network was very slow. Technically speaking, one is that there are multiple 4G standards, which caused inconvenience to users; secondly, 3G has been popularized, and the desire for 4G is not so urgent. Today, 3G networks are not yet popular, and 4G networks are already far ahead of Qualcomm, and iPhones will only support Qualcomm 4G standards. This will inevitably force many telecom operators to choose Qualcomm 4G, so that it is very likely that Qualcomm 4G standards will eventually form a global monopoly. situation.

Henry could already see countless money pouring towards him.

While Henry was daydreaming, another call came. He looked at the number, and it was a call from Gene Umbrella headquarters...
