Chapter 619: Jacob's Attitude

Ever since it decided to skip 3G and go all out to research and develop 4G, Dafeng Group has never been stingy in investing in 4G, especially during the financial crisis, when it has money, it is a crazy waste of money.

As soon as the data came out, the media from all walks of life were dispatched one after another, and news of various Dafeng Group challenging Qualcomm came out.

"Intel Qualcomm two-pronged approach? In-depth layout analysis of Dafeng Group. "

"Keeping pace with each other, will Dafeng Group replace Qualcomm in the 4G era?" "

"Qualcomm meets the most dangerous opponent, will it become the next Oracle?" "

"Dafeng Group officially enters the telecommunications industry, and the Qualcomm crisis is coming. "

Almost all the articles put the Dafeng Group and Gao Tonghe on the opposite side, and the people who eat melons have an attitude of fighting and fighting.

However, the Dafeng Group has not made much noise and is still very low-key on this issue. On the contrary, Jacob is a little restless. The more low-key the Dafeng Group is, the more Jacob feels inexplicably uncomfortable. It happened to be coming to China in early November, and Jacob took the initiative to ask Meng Qian.

On November 5th, Jacob came to Dafeng Group. Meng Qian took him around and said very naturally, "Actually, when Mr. Jacob took office at the beginning of this year, I wanted to visit him. There is one thing I have been I want to talk to you guys."

"Mr. Meng, please tell me." Meng Qian was willing to take the initiative, and Jacob couldn't ask for it.

"Mr. Jacobs should know about the patent fees our Dafeng Group paid to Qualcomm this year, right?"

"Of course, in the field of mobile phones, Dafeng Group's performance is the most outstanding."

"But our current performance can be said to be just the beginning, so I want to sign an exclusive patent fee agreement with Qualcomm."

Jacob became sensitive, "What does Mr. Meng mean?"

"In my opinion, the profitability of Qualcomm's patents in the 3G feature phone market is just that. Now that the 4G standard has basically been set, the dependence of smartphone chips on communication patents has also been put in front of us. In the foreseeable future, the explosion of 4G smartphones will definitely bring huge patent fees to Qualcomm, does Mr. Jacobs agree with our judgment?"

By the end of 2009, the market’s views on smartphones had become clear, so the Qualcomm mentioned by Meng Qian naturally had a similar judgment. After all, Qualcomm’s money was mainly earned from the 4G smartphone era, and the Qualcomm tax in the 3G era was still low. To a fraction of the 4G era.

However, Jacob still kept his words relatively quiet, "We do have high expectations for the era of 4G smartphones, but we are still relatively conservative about what will happen in the future."

Meng Qian knew Jacob's careful thinking, so he said more directly, "If Qualcomm chooses to be conservative now, it may not be a wise approach. At least we, Dafeng Group, are not prepared to be conservative to meet the 4G smartphone era. On the contrary, we will Use the greatest strength to help the arrival of this era.

In the field of smartphones, we will continue to challenge innovation and drive the development of the entire market. In the past two years, Mr. Jacobs should have seen that Apple, Samsung, and HTC are copying our ideas, but we have always been very open-minded. Faced with this kind of plagiarism, because we want to make this market a reality.

In fact, I really want to cooperate with Qualcomm. I think our two companies have a lot to do in the next 4G smart era. "

Faced with Meng Qian's obvious cooperation attitude, Jacob still had some subconscious resistance, "The achievements of Dafeng Group are not only smartphones, Dafeng Group's performance in 4G patents this time has amazed the world, and it has really made a difference." exceeded our expectations.”

"In terms of 4G technology, we are somewhat lucky. In the past two years, Intel has been using our Dafeng Group as a cash machine for the WiMAX project, constantly extracting funds from us. In order to implement WiMAX and take care of the overall situation, Our continuous investment has helped us accumulate a large number of patents unexpectedly.

Probably in response to an old saying in our Huaxia, it is a blessing to suffer losses. "

Meng Qian's words made Jacob feel sincere and bizarre, so he followed Meng Qian's words and asked, "How does Mr. Meng want to cooperate?"

"4G smartphones have a big plate, but no matter how big the plate is, it is meaningless if it cannot bring benefits. In recent days, I have also noticed that some people on the Internet are always urging us to start competition, but our competition is only It will reduce our interests, but if we cooperate, isn't it up to us how much gold can be put on the plate?"

Jacob is somewhat vacillating now. He can indeed earn more money by cooperating with the Dafeng Group. Once confronted, the Dafeng Group has never done anything. Looking at the current LCD screen market, the Dafeng Group is still keeping prices down. Like a lunatic, Qualcomm doesn't have to go crazy with Dafeng Group, it's so fun to make money together.

But looking at the overall situation, the image of Dafeng Group is too unsettling. I am afraid that after working together, Dafeng Group will not know what it will do. But now that the patent is in the hands of Dafeng Group, Qualcomm wants to change the situation unless it From the current point of view, it seems impossible to directly bring down the Dafeng Group, unless there is a chance when Intel is confronting the Dafeng Group now?

Do you want to cheat Intel with Dafeng Group, or do you want to build Dafeng Group with Intel? Jacob thought he had two choices.

And just when he thought so, Meng Qian said with a smile, "By the way, the commercial use of the 4G standard is just around the corner, and the first batch of commercial equipment will be available soon. Qualcomm's future market for TD-LTE chips is How do you judge?"

As if struck by lightning suddenly, Jacob regained his spirits. Qualcomm does have a lot of patents, but it has almost no experience in the design of TD chips at the moment. Qualcomm entered the TD chip in 2010.

But in the past, this did not affect Qualcomm's still leading in this field, because in recent years, everyone is not optimistic about TD-LTE, so no one is seriously engaged in TD chips, and only a few players have mentioned it before. , Later, because of the development of TD-LTE, the development of TD-LTE was indeed full of meat, but the strength of these companies was a bit different from that of Qualcomm. Coupled with Qualcomm's patent barriers, Qualcomm caught up with TD chips within two years.

But the problem is that in this life, there is a company that has been in-depth research and development of TD chips for many years, and it happens to be a strong company, that is the Gale Group where Jacob is at this time. Group, can't shake the patent stick!

This point made Jacob instantly alert, and the Gale Group still had this card in their hands!

"With the gradual transfer of the WiMAX camp, there should be an explosion in the TD market, which is likely to occupy more than 20% of the market." Jacob immediately responded to Qualcomm's prediction, which obviously greatly underestimated the future of TD. development, but even if it is only 20%, it is huge in terms of the entire market, and it is impossible for Qualcomm not to care about this market.

"It's almost the same as our forecast." Meng Qian is not focusing on entangled market forecasts at the moment, "Fortunately, in the past two years, in response to Intel's demand, we have made all-out research and development of TD chips. I didn't expect to use them now. , but there are still some technical deficiencies, and I hope to have a good communication with Qualcomm if I have the opportunity.”

"Okay, we can arrange for technicians to come over and communicate with each other in a few days." Jacob's attitude suddenly became particularly positive.

Jacob has already begun to call Intel an idiot in his heart. He set up a WiMAX camp, but he did nothing. He wasted billions of dollars in vain, cheated so many allies around the world, and even ruined American technology companies. His reputation finally gave birth to the big boss of Dafeng Group? Just helped China's TD-LTE do a bunch of experiments and built a bunch of base stations. Is this a good thing Intel did? !

In fact, Jacob also ignored one thing, because of the WiMAX incident, he also established the friendship between Dafeng Group, Nortel and Motorola.

For a while, although this matter had to be discussed with the board of directors slowly, at least Jacob suddenly made a decision.

Just don't cooperate with this stupid Intel.

Wouldn't it be nice to earn Intel's money with Dafeng Group?
