Blooming America

Chapter 166

"Motorola's turnover last year exceeded 200 million. If the other party wants to compete with us, it is definitely a strong opponent. I don't think we should fight against them. After all, we are just a dazzling technology in the TV industry. ."

Olsen seems to be more conservative.

On the side, Sanders shook his head straight.

"We have enough technology, why should we back down?"

In Catherine's time, Sanders was the only existence that could stand against Intel. He has never compromised.

And now, Sanders doesn't seem to be going to compromise.

"Once we retreat, the other party will get an inch. This is not just a matter of display tube, the other party is declaring war."

Sanders used to work at Motorola, and he knew this old club very well.

"Once the other party enters our semiconductor industry, it will be a disaster"

Yes, a temporary concession will only make the other party even more uncooperative.

"This is a battle of standards."

Catherine said so.

"Ok?"

The others looked at Catherine strangely.

"It is absolutely impossible to make concessions in this regard. If we want to make concessions, we will lose not only the TV market, but also the entire display research plan. FED and SED must never be given up. Once. If we give up, it means that the Pentagon is in trouble. The next budget...will be very troublesome."

Catherine looked around.

"On the contrary, if we beat Motorola, it will prove that we have stronger technology in the field of televisions and monitors. Our monitors have achieved a flat screen. The next thing we need to do is to change the resolution of the monitors. Get taller, and at the same time make the display thinner."

Catherine has already planned to go directly over the LCD and then develop FED and SED. She does not allow her plan to be disrupted.

"What we are going to do now is not this. Everyone. D's research is our most important thing. By the way, this time the sale of the supercomputer to the market has been postponed for three months."

If the supercomputer is sold now, it is likely to cause a strong reaction from IBM, so it can only be postponed.

After all, research also has costs, and step-by-step cost recovery is the kingly way.

"As long as D appears, our color difference component standard can be fully promoted. The color difference standard is the guarantee of our victory."

The price of D is lower than that of video tapes, and the effect is comparable to that of laser discs. It is very advantageous. As long as D can be launched and implemented, the color difference standard will not be accepted by Motorola.

Neither Motorola nor Sony were present at the time of signing the joint statement of the color difference components.

But I didn't expect that the other party would actually be cruel to myself at this time.

Motorola was involved in the TV industry at the end of the 1940s. They did not appear last time, probably because they were already negotiating with Sony, or had already started cooperation.

Matsushita is probably a spy or a horror, and the whole negotiation process is just soy sauce.

After World War II, Japan's electronics industry developed rapidly. Soon it opened the market worldwide. In the face of the menacing Japanese, Motorola, which produces televisions, has been retreating steadily. In 1974, Motorola finally could no longer hold on, and had to reluctantly sell the TV factory to Japan's Mitsubishi Corporation.

But the current history is completely different.

Because of the existence of Apple, the current situation of Japanese companies has become embarrassing, so they turned to seek help from American companies. Motorola now has a lot of right to speak in the TV industry.

Now that the war has started, Catherine is ready to completely beat Motorola and Sony to the ground.

In fact, Catherine has been unable to understand the short-sightedness of these American companies. What they have done is to make a large number of Japanese high-tech companies, and these companies will pursue the American companies until they are cut by the United States in the 1980s. , But the accumulation of Japanese technology has been completed. Although the Japanese companies that have been formed have stopped for a while, they have come back more than a decade later and once again have a great impact on the American market.

This is a limitation of the times, and Catherine can't blame them.

"The Japanese can't stop a bit..."

Catherine was really annoyed.

In my previous life, I was unhappy with the Japanese. In this life, I happened to be in the United States in the 1960s. The United States and Japan were in the honeymoon period. Japan collapsed Detroit. I didn't see the "Daddy Country" early and wanted to beat Japan. Next, I can only rely on myself...

Going back to her office violently, Catherine said: "Elsa, call Westinghouse and GM, I want to discuss with them..."

Before she finished speaking, she shook her head. Elsa is not here now, but lives in her own manor. Catherine deliberately cleans Elsa for a while and then untie her heart knot.

Catherine picked up the company's phone, and then arranged her meeting plan.

Immediately afterwards, the door of the office was knocked.

"Come in."

At this time, a young man pushed us away and walked in.

"Martin Cooper?"

"Yes, ma'am."

Catherine nodded.

"Can you explain to me the report on your mobile phone?"

Catherine had read the report. In fact, she knew more about mobile phones than Martin Cooper.

"Yes, ma'am." He was a little cautious. "Although we almost all have fixed telephones now, fixed telephones are actually not practical. People are social creatures, and we cannot be chained to a telephone. local."

This person is different from Sanders, he behaves politely and looks a little cautious.

"I've watched "Star Trek" by DreamWorks under our ARK. Oh, that was a good movie. I got inspiration from there, and then I designed this..."

Catherine took out the model of the mobile phone that Martin Cooper had handed over.

"Why did you come here from Motorola?"

Catherine asked again.

"Because my plan... is a mobile communication plan, Motorola doesn't have any interest."

Indeed, Motorola and AT*T began to be interested in mobile phones in the late 1960s, and it is only 66 years now...

"So, when I saw the American Mobile job advertisement, I came over."

Catherine nodded.

American Mobile is another company owned by Catherine. In addition, there is American Unicom.

In Catherine's vision, American Telecom is responsible for the laying and maintenance of optical fiber, and the most important thing is to make the country's money-as long as the intercity optical fiber plan can be passed, although it has been rejected once.

American Unicom is the network operator. In fact, Catherine’s trial network has been handed over to U.S. Unicom and began to accumulate experience. For the time being, the profit is the same as that of U.S. Telecom, which is negative.

The third company is US Mobile.

In fact, America Mobile only hung a name at first, and Catherine was worried that this trademark would be registered, which would be a tragedy.

But with Motorola’s offensive, Catherine’s American Mobile Communications Company immediately began to deploy, with a clear purpose-for the mobile communications market.

Catherine publicly recruits talents in various mobile communications.

This recruitment is also ingenious.

Because the recruitment is mainly based on researchers, Catherine stipulated that if there is a good idea about communication and mobile communication, that is, Idea, as long as the idea is obtained and there is sufficient theoretical support, then Catherine can be admitted. And Catherine is here. Bian personally checked, but unexpectedly a few days later, Martin Cooper showed up with his mobile phone model.

Catherine looked at the man in front of her.

Martin Cooper's motivation for mobile phones comes from the humiliation he received in his early years.

He is the father of mobile phones in the future, but the reason why he "goes black" in the development of mobile phones is because of his early years.

When Cooper had just graduated from university in the early years, he hoped that he could work in Bell Labs and study radio, but he was met with cold shoulder.

After being despised, Cooper joined Motorola.

The wireless phone has become Cooper's lifelong pursuit.

So much so that when Cooper was the first thing to call the opponent, he was very angry.

In fact, Cooper had a difficult time at Motorola.

At the beginning, Cooper insisted on developing a car wireless phone. His anti-traditional design made his head dislike it. He always nagged and said: This guy is white and doesn't look like a telephone at all.

Cooper's pursuit of mobile phones is fanatical. When he discovered that after the mobile phone came out, Motorola became unpredictable. He immediately left Motorola and set up his own company.

When he discovered that the field of wireless technology was the culprit that restricted mobile phone calls, he immediately sold his company, and then established the Array company to start researching smart antennas. Later, this technology was widely used in 2G and 3G networks.

"Mr. Cooper, what do you think is the biggest difficulty in realizing wireless communication?"

"Mobile communications face many problems, but the main goal is to reduce the size of the machine and increase the capacity and life of the battery."

Catherine nodded.

"What are the uses of wireless networks?" Catherine's next question made Cooper a little bit astonished.

"The development of wireless networks will bring unprecedented changes to our communications."

This answer disappointed Catherine.

Catherine thought for a while, and then asked: "So, now there is the following situation. My company needs to lay down the city's fiber optic network and build fiber optic base stations, but at this time, I need to lay down the base stations for mobile phones, but I have funds Limited, what should I do at this time?"

Many people don't know the concept of optical fiber ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but Cooper is lucky, he is not one of them.

"We can completely connect the signal to the optical fiber network. Just design a few more base stations. Although it will increase some costs, it will be very beneficial for the future promotion of optical fiber. Because of this calculation, the cost has actually been reduced a lot. "

Catherine nodded again. The triple play has always been Catherine's vision. If according to Cooper's words, the signal of the mobile phone is also received, but it will be just fine.

"Well, Mr. Cooper, American Mobile is very welcome to join us."

Catherine handed over the contract she had prepared.

Later, Motorola became famous for its mobile phones. Catherine's trick was a draw from the bottom of the pan, which directly obliterated Motorola's future by half.

The other party attacked Catherine from the television industry, but Catherine made a big detour and directly cut off the other party's future.

But the only thing she didn't expect was that Martin Cooper would actually come to apply for the job in person. This is the key to Catherine's defeat of Motorola.
