Rebirth: Dominate The World, Starting From The School Network

Chapter 184 Liumang Enterprise——Gao Tong

the next day.

Lu Yi asked Edward to help make an appointment with Alvin Jacob, the head of Gaotong.

When I come to North America this time, I have two major things to accomplish.

The first is to discuss cooperation with Gao Tong.

The second is to acquire an Android company that has just been established for half a year.

For all telecommunications equipment and consumer electronics in the world, this is an inevitable hurdle.

Relying on its monopolistic patents and technological advantages, Gaotong has made huge profits in the communications market.

later generations.

Gaotong is a company well-known to Chinese people, mainly for its mobile phone chips.

Whenever Gaotong launches a new mobile phone chip, a number of domestic mobile phone companies will compete for its "right to launch" and fight for it.

Gao Tong can make a lot of money in Longguo every year through mobile phone chips, but this is not the entire source of profit from selling the company.

Gaotong also has another large amount of income - Gaotong tax.

The so-called Gaotong tax means that regardless of whether the mobile phone manufacturer uses Gaotong chips, as long as your mobile phone still needs to connect to 2G, 3G, or 4G networks, Gaotong has the right to charge you a patent licensing fee.

And this fee is charged at about 4% of the retail price of the mobile phone.

So much so that some mobile phone manufacturers complained: Even if you want to spend more craftsmanship and cost on the mobile phone case, it is equivalent to paying more patent fees to Gaotong.

For a 5,000-yuan mobile phone, if calculated at 4%, Gaotong’s patent licensing fee would be as high as 200 yuan. Correspondingly, the net profits of most mobile phone manufacturers in Longguo are less than 3%.

It can be said that 99% of the mobile phone companies in Longguo are working for Gao Tong!

With Gaotong's strong terms, it is natural for some companies to resist.

Later fruit companies refused to pay patent licensing fees to Gao Tong. As a result, in 50 lawsuits in 16 regions in 6 countries, the fruit companies basically ended in failure.

Several main fruit products were also at risk of being removed from the shelves.

There is no other way, the fruit company can only settle with Gao Tong, and one of the contents of the settlement is that the fruit company pays patent fees to Gao Tong.

Even fruit companies have succumbed to Gao Tong's coercion, not to mention domestic mobile phone manufacturers without patented technology. They can only be meat and fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of Gao Tong.

According to reports, in 2017, Gao Tong received 26 billion yuan in patent fees from the Longguo area, not including mobile phone chips.

Because of its high taxes, Gaotong Company is also known as the most popular company in history.

In fact, it is very interesting to talk about the history of Gao Tong's fortune.

Many people may not know it well, but Gao Tong was actually his younger brother in the telecommunications field in the 2G era.

In the 2G era, the European GSM standard network is the mainstream standard in the entire telecommunications field.

Gaotong, on the other hand, chose to take a gamble on the CDMA standard.

But the result was that CDMA had no way to compete with GSM at that time. Even the American Telecommunications Industry Association voted to use TDMA as its future development strategy instead of CDMA.

At that time, Gao Tong was like an orphan abandoned by the whole world, forgotten by everyone, and CDMA seemed to have no way out.

The domestic market of the United States could not be conquered for a long time, but GSM in Europe had already launched its troops and was gaining momentum all the way. When it seemed that it was about to fall behind its opponents, Gao Tong set his sights overseas.

But this time, Gao Tong's savior appeared, and that was Bangzi Country.

In August 1990, Dr. Li Jianye of Bangzi Country tried his best to introduce the advantages of CDMA to the Bangzi Country government and operators at a seminar in Seoul. Since Li Jianye was already well-known in the industry at that time, his introduction played an important role.

On the other hand, Bangzi Country also hopes to gain a place in the international communications market at this time, and CDMA is an opportunity for Bangzi Country.

After several rounds of intensive exchanges and negotiations, in May 1991, Gao Tong finally signed a joint development agreement with the Bangziguo Electronic Communications Research Institute. Both parties will work together to implement CDMA in Bangziguo.

thus.

Gaotong's CDMA was reincarnated from the dead.

Bangziguo pulled Gao Tong back from the edge of death, and with this pull, a super-large stream of light appeared.

After 2000, the 3G era began, and the advantages of CDMA emerged.

At this time, Europe and island countries realized the problem.

In order to not be restricted by Qualcomm, we established a 3GPP organization and launched W-CDMA. We used our long-term base station advantages and patented innovation as much as possible to create our own core technology in the BG era.

But they underestimated Gaotong’s patent barriers.

Gaotong has applied for patents in the CDMA field from top to bottom, from inside to outside, from true to false, wherever patents can be applied for.

No matter how W-CDMA is circumvented, the underlying technology cannot circumvent CDMA.

This means that it will never get around Qualcomm’s patent barriers.

As for the TD-SCDMA technology dominated by Longguo during the same period, the same situation is true.

0…Please give me flowers…

In the 3G era, no one can think of breaking away from the bottom layer of CDMA, and no one can think of breaking away from Gaotong.

Lu Yi founded Blue Star Electronics, whose main product is mobile phones.

So there was no way, even if he was reborn, he would inevitably be killed by Gao Tongzhu.

Of course, it is limited to 2G and 3G standard networks.

Because the standards of 2G and 3G are in the hands of others, if you want to use them, you have to pay. This does not depend on Lu Yi's status as a reborn person.

But for 4G and 5G, Lu Yi will not work for Qualcomm for nothing!

previous life.

2G and 3G standard networks are followers in China.

When it came to the 4G network, China barely caught up with the development pace of foreign countries.

The real leader in China is the 5G network era.

But in this life, Lu Yi wants to make the country lead the world starting from the 4G network, no longer a follower of foreign countries, but a leader!

so.

Lu Yi absolutely cannot allow Gao Tong to continue to dominate in this life.

When the time comes to build smartphones to help Gaotong monopolize, in the end we will have to face high taxes imposed by Gaotong gangsters. Later, we will still have to bear the risk of sales bans from Gaotong because Gaotong strangles the baseband. Isn’t this nonsense? .

Isn’t this just following the old path of Bangzi Country!

I pulled you and made you fat, but you turned out to be good, and in turn gave me a knife that was so deep that you could see your bones.

At this stage, there is no way to be stabbed by Gao Tong.

Because now domestic 3G is developed behind others.

A very hot news topic in China recently is 3G.

Although Longguo did not issue 3G licenses until 2009, the research and discussion on 3G actually started in 2000.

Just because of various reasons, 3G research has been in deep trouble.

Therefore, in 2001, Longguo proposed the 2.5G concept and invested a lot of human and financial resources in this effort.

From the perspective of the entire network construction, whether it is the Internet or mobile communications, the development of Longguo is not too late. It has always been an important strategic direction since 2000.

The key is that the level is limited, which is a bit helpless.

At this stage, CDMA has become the standard for 3G networks, and there is no way around it.

We can only wait until 4G to show off with Gaotong and break Gaotong’s monopoly!

Don’t you, Gaotong, have a monopoly in the 3G field?

I'll just skip you and do 4G Xi!.
