Chapter 470 "We have nothing to add for now" and "Next"

October in Beijing this year has nothing to do with the golden autumn. Especially today, the lowest temperature has dropped to 3°C.

In the morning, you can breathe fog.

The morning weather forecast is saying cloudy with light rain today.

The sky was overcast.

In addition, at this time, the capital city is still in the smog air quality that has been gradually forgotten by the public in later generations, making it a bit confusing for people to distinguish between black and white.

People on the street were somewhat in a hurry, with serious faces.

At this moment, a wide hall in a certain building is full of people, almost all of them have taken off their coats to keep out the cold, or suits and leather shoes, or are exquisite and outstanding.

His complexion was not affected by the bad weather at all.

There was also a sense of eagerness in the atmosphere.

Maybe even a little... ready to fight.

The hall is divided into several areas. There are nameplates in the center of each area to indicate their identities. You can clearly see:
ZTE, Ericsson, Nokia, Datang Telecom, Bolang Communication, Juchang...

Wait for the well-known big companies.

And China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom three major operators.

It can be said that what should have come and what should not have come.

Of course, all are eligible for admission.

Regardless of domestic manufacturers, Ericsson is indeed very strong in the field of communications. In the past few years, it is still in the first echelon in the international arena.

Nokia... Nokia certainly has the qualifications to enter the venue. It is also a member of China Mobile's 4G communication network collection test, but its performance is not outstanding, not as good as Juchang.

In fact, looking at Nokia as a whole, its most profitable business is theoretically the communication business.

Let's say that.

Although last month, that is, on the morning of September 9, Microsoft announced that it would acquire Nokia's mobile phone business and a large number of patent portfolios for a total of approximately US$3 billion. Nokia will provide Microsoft with a 71.7-year non-exclusive patent license and so on.

The end of Nokia's mobile phone empire is a foregone conclusion.

However, in the post-mobile phone era when Nokia packaged and sold its mobile phone business to Microsoft and gradually disappeared in the public opinion... Specifically, in 2019, in China Mobile's announcement on the centralized procurement of 5G NSA function upgrades and transformation equipment, Nokia won many bids .

Among them, in the MME (network node) equipment bidding, Nokia won 56 sets, which was higher than ZTE’s 22 sets. Of course, it was far behind Juchang’s 219 sets, while Ericsson ranked second with as many as 153 sets .

In the SAE-GW (service-public network gateway) equipment bidding, Nokia won the bid for 60 sets, and the others were Juchang 369, Ericsson 231, and ZTE 21.

More specific examples include: Nokia announced in 18 that its charging standard for 5G essential patents is 3 euros per device,

Signed a framework agreement worth 10 billion euros with China Mobile, mainly to provide hardware and management advice for China Mobile to deploy 5G networks...

And, Nokia ranks second in the world with about 5% of patent applications among 10.5G technology telecom network equipment suppliers.

Nokia and Motorola, the two super giants in the mobile phone industry, have similarities in many aspects. They have "dead" in the eyes of the public, but what died is only the mobile phone business.

In other respects, the mouth is full of oil.

It is fair to say that Nokia did not perform well in this China Mobile centralized procurement test, which has a certain relationship with the end of its mobile phone empire. It is intricate and inevitably involves each other.

In short... This 'forced' hearing was promoted by all parties, and it can be said that it is comprehensive.

Representatives of all parties have already been seated at the corresponding positions.

Or have words to laugh at Yan Yan.

It was in stark contrast to the three main characters, Zhong Zhengye, Lin Hong, and Lixia, who came belatedly from Bolang Communications, as they walked into the arena in a serious manner.

At this moment, those people who voluntarily signed up to participate in the hearing, the invited media reporters, and the people who eat melons with "unknown sources" all have a slightly restrained expression.

The representatives of several major participants still "do their own thing", and some of them who are familiar with Zhong Zhengye even greeted each other with a smile.

It was just a casual exchange of greetings, not so anxious and hurried.

…………

Li Yue, the representative of the mobile party, pushed the microphone in front of him, and the voice of coughing came out through the audio equipment: "Okay, everything is here, let's start."

The scene was almost silent for an instant.

Occasionally, a soft cough sounded.

According to the general process, at this time there should be "enthusiastic participants" who will speak enthusiastically and kick off the curtain with the role of vanguard.

but!
not at all.

As soon as Li Yue finished speaking, the representative of Ericsson hardly hesitated, immediately signaled, and then spoke: "May I ask you, does Bolang Communication, which was established on July 2013, 7, have full qualifications?"

"I would like to ask you, whether Bolang Communication's participation in your 4G communication network centralized acquisition test in the middle of the way is in line with the routine procedures!"

"May I ask you why Bolang Communication was allowed to change the product solution midway after participating in the centralized procurement test without knowing whether it complied with the conventional procedures!"

Come up is three consecutive questions.

Attitude is clear.

It's that straightforward!

Li Yue's face was calm, and he spoke slowly and clearly and replied: "Bolang Communication has submitted a qualification certificate to us. For more specific content, please refer to our company's previous announcement."

"Bolang Communication's participation in our 4G communication network centralized procurement test was publicized according to the process, and no objections were received during the publicity period."

"Through the centralized procurement test, Bolang Communication actively optimized and iterated the product solution, so it applied for an updated solution to enter the test, and after careful evaluation, we gave an approval opinion."

After speaking, Li Yue looked at Ericsson's representative: "Next question."

Although the tone was calm and not sharp, it showed a tough attitude.

It's just a verbal answer to the questions raised, and I don't even bother to say more detailed explanations. As for other things, I don't bother to mention a single word.

"..."

Ericsson's representative was a bit of a entanglement, questioning procedural fairness from various angles.

Every detail is magnified.

For example, Bolang Communications enjoyed friendly and cooperative treatment at the test site, even Juchang and ZTE were quite critical of this.

Colleagues are enemies, this saying applies to all times.

It has reached the point of this kind of public hearing, and if it can step on a wave of competitors within a reasonable range, no one will let it go.

ZTE, which still maintains a good cooperative relationship with Bolang, will not be an exception.

As the "battlefield" was completely opened, all parties were off the field, and the "enthusiastic people" also quickly seized the opportunity to show their sense of presence.

Although everyone looks good, but the current quarrel is no different from the vegetable market.

but……

Interestingly, the representative of Bolangfang hardly spoke.

During the hearing, which lasted for a whole morning, only Zhong Zhengye said three sentences, namely: "We have nothing to add for now."

"I have nothing to add yet."

"Thank you."

Before noon, at 11:48, Li Yue, the representative of the mobile party, patted the microphone in front of him, cleared his throat, and said with a straight face: "This is the end of the first session of this hearing, and the disputes that have not reached a consensus will be put on hold for now. The second session will be held in this hall at 17:9 am on the [-]th tomorrow, and I hope that all parties will make more comprehensive preparations and submit more detailed evidence."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the audience: "Thank you everyone."

At this point, the first multi-party verbal war between the mobile side hastily ended.

There is hardly any consensus.

Although the mobile party has the right to explain, since it can be forced to hold such a hearing, it also means that the right to explain is not fully effective.

As the hearing ended, it was the turn of netizens who eat melons to start talking.

"Can I be honest? I can't understand it. Really, I don't even understand why there is a hearing. Shouldn't the centralized procurement of the mobile party be mobile? It's not a private bidding .”

"In theory, this is the case, but China Mobile is a state-owned enterprise, and has the obligation and responsibility to cooperate with explaining public doubts and cooperating with public supervision. It also involves the possibility of corruption... In short, the inside story is very complicated."

The evening wind is like a cloud: "It's one-sided, the reason has been shown in some key discussions on overseas networks;
This is an all-round premeditated targeting of Bolang launched by Goldman Sachs. Logic and rationality are not considered. It is mainly to prevent Bolang from entering the ranks of communication equipment supply in my country. If it is successful, Bolang will not be able to talk about entering the international communication market. up;
This is just one of them. The rest is to crack down on Bolang's terminal business and pan-Internet business. The incidents that have emerged in recent days are part of it. Now Bolang has only partially dealt with it on the surface, and the deeper crisis is still there;
In short, this incident has nothing to do with rationality, logic, or routine. For example, the first hearing seems to be arguing about some irrelevant matters, but this is not the case in overseas public opinion. "

The machine circle is carrying the handle: "I just browsed the main discussions on the overseas network, and the public opinion has been incited. Beep West and Hey Bee West have also reported off the stage. They quoted the scene of the hearing, but the accompanying text is the same as their usual style. very messy;
Judging from the news, some people in some areas have begun to boycott Bolang, although they may not even understand what Bolang is. "

Jiu Ai: "This hearing is a bit interesting. The protagonists are all parties instigated and instigated by China Mobile and Goldman Sachs. The real core confrontation focus, Bo Lang, has become a spectator, and we ignorant people are basically talking about it, which is a bit interesting. "

The development of the situation has indeed nothing to do with rationality.

No one even cares what the truth is.

Because in this game, facts themselves are just playthings that can be manipulated, and each side has different demands.

The reason why Bo Lang became a spectator was entirely due to Bo Lang's intention.

There is no way, Wen Liang has not seen through the situation so far.

Wen Liang only knew that with Goldman Sachs as the leader, the interest complex formed by the mediation and matchmaking, what they finally wanted was to dismember Bolang, but the situation itself really didn't understand.

This is no conventional fight.

Even the facts themselves can be ignored or even manipulated to a certain extent, so what else can we talk about, right?
Therefore, Wen Liang only made one arrangement:
'Let the internal stability be as stable as possible, dormant, on the sidelines, and wait for opportunities. '

Because anyway, the opponent's ultimate goal is to dismember Bo Lang, so no matter whether Wen Liang can see through the situation, as long as he is not dismembered, he is undefeated.

As for the loss...

Ah.

I don't know how many.

Not counting such things as goodwill, just straightening out various aspects including orange logistics, hot shopping malls, etc., they are constantly spending extra money, which has exceeded 50 billion in a few days.

It's not like sprinkling water.

After all, since the Xinghai 1 Youth Edition was launched, the net profit in the domestic market is only about 200 billion, and the net profit in the overseas market is less than 200 billion.

It can only be said that, for now, the impact of this game on Bolang is far from traumatic.

…………

After going to Lao Miao's house on the night of the 12th last Saturday, Wen Liang didn't go to eat any more these days.

He barely even left the Four Seasons Hotel where he was staying.

Since the invitation to Wen Liang to drink afternoon tea was declined last time, Zhang Sanshi and the others have not made any further movements.

Occasionally, Wen Liang would receive text messages and MMS messages from his old secretary, with different contents, mainly to inform some important information.

After all, Lao Miaotou is a fastidious person, and he has been working hard to prevent Wen Liang from being fooled by people with poor information as much as possible.

Unfortunately, there is still no trace of another group in all the messages.

But everyone is well aware that there is still another group besides the president, the boss, and the largest neutral party.

Of course, this does not include the old flathead and its affiliated groups. Strictly speaking, this is the biggest, because the old flathead can easily unite people from any aspect.

Broadly speaking, Lao Miaotou, Lao Litou, and Wen Liang all belong to this group.

Despite this, Wen Liang still maintained the utmost patience, even if he had nothing to do, he did not work as a secretary. Taking advantage of this rare stage, Wen Liang studied two philosophical issues.

What is the true meaning of living well with yourself,

What is the sea of ​​stars?
He couldn't understand the two questions. The first question seemed easy, and the answer was also very simple, but in fact it was capricious and couldn't be solved once and for all.

As for the second question, Wen Liang came up with a point of view after thinking about it: "When humans think, God laughs."

…………

All in all, when the time came to 17 o'clock on the 9th, the second hearing of China Mobile went on as scheduled again.

The incident that quarreled for a long time yesterday seemed to have been collectively forgotten.

As usual, it was Li Yue who announced the start.

Then the representative of Ericsson couldn't wait to jump out and directly mentioned: "Excuse me, according to the comprehensive evaluation results of the centralized procurement test, the comprehensive performance of our product solutions ranks first alone. Why do you only choose the solution of Bolang Communication to transfer to Pilot environment deployment? According to your test rules, although Bolang Communication ranks first in terms of multi-dimensional comprehensiveness including quotations, the pilot environment deployment is still in the scope of testing and does not involve the delivery of contract quotations attached to official delivery!"

"In addition, you have announced the freezing of all pilot base station projects, and the temporary access plan is only Bolang Communication!"

This time, the representative of Ericsson only raised this question.

It is also the place where many manufacturers such as Juchang are not convinced.

Everyone admits that Bolang Communication's quotation is indeed cost-effective, but it is only a pilot environment. In theory, at least three rounds of 7×24 stress tests will be considered before the formal cooperation consultation is considered. Everyone wants to try this link.

Now that the mobile side is doing this, there is a tendency to only purchase one product solution from Bolang Communication.

This will not work!

No matter how friendly and cooperative the relationship is, there is no way to accept it.

Li Yue didn't care about so many impetuous thoughts present, he answered very simply like yesterday: "During our centralized procurement test this time, Bolang Communication discovered and pointed out various weaknesses that may exist in the actual implementation of the full-scenario deployment plan. links

Subsequently, Bolang Communication completed the iteration and optimization of the software and hardware solutions in a very fast time, and also considered the comprehensive performance, which was 19% higher than before;

Before the deadline, Bolang Communication was still the only tested manufacturer that submitted a feasible solution to us in this centralized procurement test. "

After finishing speaking, Li Yue glanced lightly at Ericsson's representative, then turned to look at the audience: "Next."
