Silicon Valley

Chapter 236 Let CDMA enter China

Henry designed the phone, and the rest is up to the engineer!

Silicon Valley Electronics Group will develop two mobile phones, one supports CDMA network and the other supports GSM network!

In the previous life, China first used the GSM network, and the first GSM mobile phone introduced was the Ericsson GH337.

Now, Henry wants to change this history! China wants to use the CDMA network, and the mobile phone developed by the Silicon Valley Electronics Group is introduced! ! !

Therefore, Henry intends to let Qualcomm enter mainland China and develop the market as soon as possible! Although China is poor now, few people can afford a mobile phone. However, China's development is changing with each passing day, and the economy is taking off at a high speed. It will not take many years for a lot of people who can afford mobile phones! ! !

At present, the more popular communication equipment in China is a pager, that is, a BB machine or a BP machine! Before 1995, the market of BB phones in China was huge, but after 1995, the price of mobile phones has begun to be greatly reduced, and the paging business has gradually been defeated by the strong offensive of mobile phones. In addition, with the improvement of people's living standards, more people can afford mobile phones, and the market for BB phones shrinks suddenly! The decline began in 1996, the number of users fell in vain, and the number of paging stations also dropped sharply!

However, it is only the beginning of 1992. If someone wears a BB machine around their waist, it will be a lot of face. In China, they can pretend to be coercive! At that time, many people bought a BB machine, and then the shirt must be tucked into the pants. If it is not tucked into the pants, the BB machine will be blocked by the shirt. How to pretend? Therefore, the top must be tucked into the pants, so that the BB machine can be exposed for others to see! At this time, if someone holds a Motorola "Big Brother" mobile phone, it will be amazing. In people's impression, he must be a big boss, and when he answers the phone, he must speak very loudly. big! This is in the eyes of future generations. It was purely a **** yelling there, but at that time, people were envious of him!

Motorola was the first to enter the Chinese mobile phone market. It once monopolized China's mobile phone market with an absolute advantage. At that time, a mobile phone cost tens of thousands of yuan, and households with 10,000 yuan in China were very rare!

So, take the "big brother" speech. Bullshit! ! !

However, speaking loudly, there is no way! Because the early Motorola mobile phone belongs to the analog network, and the analog network signal is not good, the call sound is not good, and it has many shortcomings. therefore. When talking on a Motorola mobile phone, it is not loud, and the other party cannot hear it at all!

It's just that when the GSM network is popular all over the world, Motorola has always been obsessed with the analog network, and finally was caught up by Nokia and Ericsson, forming a situation of three giants! And the reason why Motorola is unwilling to make changes is actually the same as Edison's rudimentary reason!

Anderson invested heavily in direct current, and therefore rejected the alternating current advocated by Nikola; Motorola invested heavily in analog networks, and achieved remarkable results. Naturally, they are not willing to make changes easily! This is like tearing down a newly built building with a huge investment and rebuilding it. If there is no extraordinary courage, this will never be done! ! !

Edison did not and neither did Motorola!

Time will crush everything that goes backwards, DC is replaced by AC, and analog networks are replaced by GSM networks! The GSM network will also be replaced by the CDMA network!

In the past life, Qualcomm developed slowly. The promotion of the CDMA standard is unfavorable. At this stage, the GSM network is almost in a monopoly position! Today, under the influence of Henry, the CDMA network has developed rapidly, and it rivals the GSM network, becoming the current two major communication network standards! ! !

China's market is huge, and it is impossible for Henry to let the GSM network make money in it!

So, Henry quickly called Dr. Owen Jacobs, the founder and CEO of Qualcomm, and asked him to send someone to actively explore the Chinese market!

"China is a big country with a population of more than one billion, and the market in the future is huge, Qualcomm should deploy it early!!! China established a mobile communication group company in 1987, which can cooperate with them and help them build a CDMA network!!!"

"Okay, I'll get someone to contact Mobile Communications Group as soon as possible!" Dr. Owen Jacobs replied on the phone, "However, Mr. Williams, Qualcomm has also investigated China. At present, The Chinese are very poor, and not many people can’t afford mobile phones. We have gone to great lengths to help them build a CDMA network, and I’m afraid it will be difficult to make a profit in a short period of time!!!”

"Hehe, Dr. Owen Jacobs, you may be right when you say that the Chinese are poor now. However, it won't be long before the rich in China will appear like a blowout! Don't underestimate this country, maybe a dozen or so Years from now, the vast majority of Qualcomm's interests will come from this country! Also, I can predict that the price of mobile phones will also become cheaper over time, and become the most common thing! Perhaps, ten The next-year-old children have one in their hands!!!”

Dr. Owen Jacobs felt crazy when he heard this. How is it possible that every teenage child has a mobile phone? ! !

"Mr Williams, the phone will be cut in price for sure, but I think it will still be an expensive product!"

Henry heard the words, smiled, did not argue with Dr. Owen Jacobs, time will tell!

"Okay, Dr. Owen Jacobs, we won't discuss this issue for now, you will understand later! Now, what you need to do is to send someone to China to open up the market. Silicon Valley Electronics Group will develop CDMA mobile phones. , at that time, it can be released in China!!!!"

"Oh, okay, Mr. Williams!"

After hanging up the phone, Henry pondered for a while, thinking, should I get the Chinese text messages out? Forget it, I'd better wait for an upgrade later, and then add them in. At that time, it can be used as a killer...

Henry knows very well how attractive Chinese text messages are to Chinese people!

It costs 5 cents a minute to make a phone call, and only 1 cent to send a text message. I would rather send a text message! ! ! !

In China, the use of monthly text messaging services abounds, and the number of text messages is far greater than the number of calls people make. In order to save money, we can not call, try not to call, we must save money to the end...

The first mobile phone developed by Silicon Valley Electronics Group will be released at the end of 1992. The phone will use the Symbian system, Qualcomm's CDMA communication chip, and the rest of the hardware is produced by Silicon Valley Electronics Group itself. In fact, there is nothing too complicated about the current mobile phone. Henry has dug so many technical talents to develop a mobile phone, and it will not be practical for a year!

The BB machine is easier to make. Since China will be popular for a long time, do you want to let someone develop a BB machine?

Chinese people don't have the money to buy mobile phones now, so they can buy BB phones. When they have money to buy mobile phones, BB phones can be sold to South America or Africa, and they can also make a lot of money. And Silicon Valley Electronics Group can also have more profitable products.

In the past, Henry was not prepared to let Silicon Valley Electronics Group build a store, mainly because the products were too single! But now, Silicon Valley Electronics Group is making more and more products, it's time to open a specialty store and build a strong offline sales channel! ! !

The store can sell ipod music players, mobile phones, BB machines, cameras, etc., as well as some supporting equipment!
