"The cdma technology is not yet mature, and the gsm technology is about to become a standard, so sprint can consider building gsm base stations first!" said Li Zetian.
Edgar Carr said, "Well, mr.li, there's one more question here, what if the US cell phone manufacturers didn't develop mobile phones that support gsm networks? You know, gsm is a digital mobile communications standard, At present, Motorola occupies more than 70% of the market share, and the mobile phones they develop only support cellular mobile communication systems based on analog technology! If we spend a lot of money to build gsm base stations in the United States, I am afraid that we will lose a lot in the end!”
Li Zetian said lightly: "You don't need to worry about this. If Motorola is too arrogant and sticks to the first-generation communication system, it will already be eliminated. Consumers determine the market, and we can provide consumers with better solutions. A good service will naturally be liked by consumers. I think there should always be a mobile phone manufacturer supporting sprint. Here, I might as well tell you that the next step, I am going to let Apple develop mobile phones!"
Edgar Carr was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Okay, mr.li, I understand!"
On the way back home, Li Zetian explained to Dongfang Yuqin: "Dongfang Yuqin, send someone to collect information about the research talents in cdma technology."
Although Qualcomm was founded in 1985, it is only January 12th, and there is a high probability that Qualcomm has not yet been created. Instead of looking for a company, it's better to look for talent in this area and build the company yourself.
Dongfang Yuqin smiled and said, "Okay, mr·li."
"In addition, by the way, register a company called Qualcomm." Li Zetian added.
Dongfang Yuqin nodded, and immediately took out the Motorola mobile phone and started making calls.
Li Zetian glanced at the "brick" and thought to himself, by the 1990s, this thing should be outdated.
…
…
One afternoon a week later, Dongfang Yuqin came to Li Zetian's study.
"mr·li, Qualcomm has been successfully registered. This is the talent profile of cdma technology, please take a look!"
Li Zetian nodded, took over a document, and flipped through it.
After a while, Li Zetian looked up and said, "So, Dr. Owen Jacobs is the pioneer and authority of Code Division Multiple Access (cdma) digital wireless technology!"
"Yes, mr·li." Dongfang Yuqin paused and said, "There are also franklin antonio, adelia can, andre cohen, klein gilhousen, andre viterbi and harvey white, these six people have recently been with Owen Jacob. Dr. Si is relatively close, and according to the information I understand, they may plan to set up a company!"
Li Zetian is not surprised. This Dr. Owen Jacobs is probably one of the founders of Qualcomm. It seems that they are indeed going to set up a company, but they have not made a final decision.
"Well, I know, then recruit them before they set up a company. In addition, there are many cdma technical talents on the list, and they are all recruited. The development of cdma is far behind that of gsm, and I have to invest a huge amount of money. Capital, work hard to catch up, and catch up later!!!”
"Okay, mr·li!"
Dongfang Yuqin responded and went out to carry out Li Zetian's order.
Li Zetian did not conceal that Qualcomm was founded by him. With his fame, it was much easier to recruit talents. When the other party heard that the behind-the-scenes boss of Qualcomm was Chronos Li, the company had strong financial resources and a strong background, so he immediately agreed.
In less than two weeks, Qualcomm has gathered thousands of engineers in wireless communication technology.
Dr. Owen Jacobs originally wanted to create a company with other people to develop cdma, but when he saw that Li Zetian established Qualcomm, and also recruited so many talents, he knew that a few of them had created a company with Li Zetian's company Competition, in the end, must die ugly. On the contrary, joining Qualcomm at this moment is the first batch of employees of the company and will enjoy a large share of options in the future. Especially Dr. Owen Jacobs, whom Li Zetian hired as the company's CEO and Chief Scientist, such a favor is simply too good to refuse!
Afterwards, Li Zetian took the time to go to Qualcomm to meet everyone.
The arrival of Li Zetian made the employees extremely excited and excited.
"Hello everyone, welcome to Qualcomm!"
"Chronos·li, hello!!!"
"I hope you can work happily in Qualcomm in the future, and everyone will work together to develop Qualcomm into a Fortune 500 company!!!" Li Zetian smiled, "And I believe that Qualcomm has this potential, I am very optimistic about it, I hope you Don't let me down!"
When the crowd heard this, they were very excited.
"Wow, Chronos Li actually thinks that Qualcomm has the potential to become a Fortune 500 company? From his perspective, 80% of them can't go wrong!"
"Chronos·li has created so many legends, and the company under his name is by no means a generic one! Gene Technology, Apple, Microsoft, Intel, Flamingo, Galaxy Network, Sun Microsystems, etc., which are not the world's top 500 companies Enterprise? Now it looks like we made the right choice to join Qualcomm!"
"… "
Li Zetian smiled, glanced at Dr. Jacobs beside him, and followed him to the office.
…
It is impossible for Qualcomm to make such a big move without attracting the attention of the media and the industry.
People are very puzzled by Li Zetian's approach and are very unfamiliar with cdma technology. Right now, analog technology cellular phones are very hot, what's the point of engaging in cdma
Motorola's CEO said: "Motorola will only develop cellular mobile communication handsets based on analog technology, and many countries have just established the first generation of mobile communication networks, so in a short time, Motorola will not consider other wireless communication networks! It seems that cdma technology is a technology during World War II, and it has not developed much since then. There are many problems and it is not suitable for mobile communication! Chronos·li invested heavily in the development of cdma, which is obviously a wrong decision!"
As a monopoly in the mobile phone manufacturing industry, Motorola's words represent authority, which is equivalent to a death sentence for cdma.
Many reporters wanted to interview Li Zetian, but it was a pity that Li Zetian did not give them the opportunity.
Li Zetian has also seen the speech of the CEO of Motorola. He is very dismissive of this. The technology industry is changing rapidly, and the GSM standard is almost established. gsm grabs the market. Motorola's indifference, and instead laughing at it, is really stupid. It is no wonder that in the 1990s, Motorola was surpassed by Nokia, which is understandable.
At this time, Li Zetian came to Apple and called Jobs and Wozniak over.
"Have you read the latest news?" Li Zetian asked with a smile.
The two nodded, and Jobs glanced at Li Zetian and said, "Look, Qualcomm has aroused heated discussions in the media and the industry!"
"Um."
Li Zetian nodded, and then said, "Motorola thinks that cdma is not necessary to develop, and they will not develop corresponding mobile phones. I think, since Motorola is willing to give up such a good opportunity, it is really good, just in time. Let Apple do it!!!"
