Chapter 496 Give Qualcomm a Little Shock (5k)

"Lu, it's not too late to cooperate now!"

Paul Jacobs, in a suit and leather shoes, has a gentle face and always smiles when he speaks, just like a competent salesman, taking out several CDMA mobile phones from his briefcase and talking endlessly.

"Although there are many more GSM users now, if we can sell more 3G mobile phones than GSM, within three or four years, I estimate that the number of 3G users will surpass GSM. What do you think?"

"Sounds good."

Lu Fei clapped his hands and cheered, "Paul, how do you want to cooperate?"

"No, Lu, I should ask you this. How do you want to cooperate?"

Paul Jacobs took out a stack of documents from his briefcase again, just like a waiter handing menus to diners, "It's like buying baseband chips you just said, that's just the most basic, Qualcomm's business model is not only about inventing technology, the key is us After inventing innovative technology, it will be shared with partners immediately."

Lu Fei raised his lips, "Any kind of cooperation is fine?"

Paul Jacobs was full of enthusiasm and showed great hospitality: "As long as it is reasonable, as long as it is owned by Qualcomm, as long as it is what you need, including the establishment of a joint venture innovation research center."

Lu Fei cut to the chase and said, "Then can you license Qualcomm's CDMA patents to Logic and The Paper?"

"Wow."

Paul Jacobs was taken aback, and cast an intriguing look, "Lu, although I haven't been in China for a long time, I often hear famous names from manufacturers, and I heard that they have created a business model that is completely different from the industry. , 'turnkey', so that the entry barrier of the entire mobile phone industry has been greatly lowered, yes?"

Lu Fei nodded, and pointed to himself without concealment, "The person who invented this model is me."

"You invented 'turnkey'?"

Paul Jacob's pupils shrank suddenly, and he stared straight at him with mixed emotions.

"Are you surprised?" Lu Fei spread his hands.

"A little bit, but when I think of you, I'm not surprised. After all, you are a genius who created lmusic, kindle and beats, and it's normal to invent a 'turnkey' mode."

There was a hint of admiration in Paul Jacob's tone, and he did not hesitate to praise the importance of the 'turnkey' model.

"I have always been adhering to professional people doing professional things."

Lu Fei was a little proud in his joy, "In the future, the competition between mobile phone manufacturers should be application software, not hardware and reference design. That is what chip manufacturers should do. Mobile phone manufacturers only need to integrate software and hardware."

"So you want to get Qualcomm's CDMA patent license, do you want to speed up the transition of Pagoda's platform from 2G to 3G?"

"That's right, Paul, as you said, 3G is the big trend in the future. Don't you think this is an opportunity? Qualcomm uses the hand of Pagoda to let CDMA eat a bigger market on the basis of accelerating the popularization of 3G. market share!"

"Well, Lu, what you said makes sense."

The expected surprise did not appear on Paul Jacob's face, but a look of hesitation appeared on Paul Jacob's face, neither cooperating nor saying that he would not cooperate.

The attitude is ambiguous, but the answer is clearly on the horizon.

If we don't say "cooperation", of course it means non-cooperation.

Lu Fei has also anticipated this possibility a long time ago. The turnkey market is a big cake. Don't look at Qualcomm staring at it, but it will never follow Peng Mei's business of copycat phones. If it really does this, Qualcomm's reputation and reputation in the industry It's all over!

Qualcomm Zhi is not in 2G, but in 3G.

So he raised his eyes, looked at Paul Jacobs for a while, and tested with a smile: "Paul, do you want to copy the Pengpai turnkey model and enter the 3G low-end chip market?"

No matter how good Paul Jacob's acting skills are, there are still flaws on his face. His expression was stiff and the corners of his mouth twitched when he was poked in his mind:

"Lu, if you don't tell me, I really haven't thought about it."

Damn, look at this Jew who is honest on the surface, but full of bad things in his heart!

Lu Fei smiled coldly and pretended to be surprised: "You haven't thought about it that way? If I were you, I decided not to authorize Pengpai. Even if I authorize, I have to wait for Qualcomm's platform to be successfully developed. Relying on the price reduction space of patent fees, we will fight a price war with Pengpai and compete for market share..."

"Lu, Lu, you, stop talking.

Paul Jacob couldn't help feeling horrified, his thoughts were completely seen through, God, is this Chinese man a devil or Satan?
"Paul, don't be in a hurry to deny it, and don't be in a hurry to refuse to authorize CDMA to The Paper. Think about your purpose in coming to China."

Lu Fei watched with scrutiny, "I understand that you are eager to develop China's 3G market, to stabilize Qualcomm's stock price, and to consolidate your position in Qualcomm, so think again, how win-win it will be to license the CDMA patent to us, What will Wall Street think of Qualcomm, and what will the board of directors think of you, and there will be no more laymen in the media questioning your succession."

Oh my god, this is definitely a satanic level of temptation!
Paul Jacobs straightened his face and refused righteously: "Lu, you are very wrong. I was the board's choice to be CEO, not my father's choice. In fact, three years before he left, in the Among the many candidates, I have been locked in."

"Of course, of course you deserve this position, but Paul, you and Qualcomm are not in a good situation right now? Last year, the six giants Nokia and Ericsson filed an antitrust lawsuit against Qualcomm to the European Union. Your seat It's not safe."

Lu Fei made a "please" gesture and sat down first.

"It's true, but I'm not worried at all. You may not know that Qualcomm has more lawyers than R&D personnel."

Paul Jacobs raised his legs when he sat down, and his tone was calm: "Even shortly after we received the lawsuit from Nokia, we immediately chose to reverse the lawsuit, and up to now, Qualcomm has continued to fight back in Oceania, America, and Europe. Accused Nokia of 11 patent counts.

Believe me, Lu, they can't get what they want, hahaha, because we are Qualcomm, in 3G, even in the future 4G, no one can bypass us! "

"However, if Nokia, no matter whether it wins or loses the lawsuit, abandons the purchase of Qualcomm's chips and transfers to other chip companies, will Qualcomm be able to bear the result?"

Lu Fei hit the nail on the head. The best way for Qualcomm to promote CDMA is to take advantage of mobile phones, and Nokia is undoubtedly the absolute leader. In 05, mobile phone shipments accounted for 35% of the world.

"You are right, but I will never compromise!"

Paul Jacobs refused to let go: "No one likes to pay patent fees, but have they considered where Qualcomm invests these patent fees, research and development, or research and development, it is Qualcomm's basic technology research that makes mobile phone prices dramatically drop."

"I agree with this sentence!"

Lu Fei snapped his fingers, "But Nokia and the others don't seem to think so. According to the information I have, they are in contact with Intel. Intel has invented a WiMax standard called '3.5G technology' and has been trying to replace CDMA, etc. The International Telecommunication Union officially accepted it as the fourth 4G standard in the world, what is Qualcomm going to do? What are you going to do?"

You are a devil!
Why do you know everything!

Paul Jacob clenched his fists, his palms were sweating, and his heart became faster and faster, and the faster he became, the more restless he became. Could it be that logic planted commercial spies in Qualcomm, or bought informants?

"Relax, relax." Lu Fei pressed his hand down, "Since I choose to cooperate with Qualcomm, I will definitely help you. I have a few good things that may come in handy."

"what?!"

Paul Jacob looked up suddenly, puzzled.

Lu Fei took out his wallet, and took out a few photos with the logic logo watermark in it. The photos were taken of two samples of lphone with different styles, one with a small screen and the other with a large screen.

Paul Jacob took a closer look, "Hey, it looks like a mobile phone, but why is there no keyboard? Lu, what are these two?"

"You guessed it right, it's a mobile phone, but it's different from the market, it doesn't use a physical keyboard, but a touch keyboard!"

Lu Fei's tongue was shining like a lotus flower, and he blew his lphone into the sky.

"A new mobile phone that replaces the PC?"

Paul Jacob swallowed his saliva, his eyes were full of enthusiasm, "I had this idea too, when I asked Jobs to discuss whether the mobile phone and the handheld computer could be combined, but he was focusing on the iMac. It's just nothing, unexpected, unexpected..."

Lu Fei raised his lips, "Paul, if these phones use Qualcomm's CDMA and WCDMA technologies instead of Intel's WiMAX, do you think Intel will win in the end or Qualcomm will win?"

"Is there a real machine?"

Paul Jacob licked his parched lips.

"Of course, come with me."

Lu Fei stood up, didn't the fish take the bait?

.........

Paul Jacob, who couldn't wait, didn't forget that he still needed to receive big names from China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom, Huawei, etc. He was anxious, but he still did enough superficial work, only occasionally absent-minded, always thinking of the appearance of the mobile phone in the photo.

Almost half of the brain is already in the shape of an lphone.

After meeting with the important client, Paul Jacob couldn't bear it any longer, and left the next-level client to the accompanying vice president, who was abducted by Master Lu to the office building of Pagoda Technology alone.

Sun Hongjun, Hu Yuhua and others have long been waiting in the reception room. The table is now filled with the best-selling feature phones in the market, Logic, Nokia, Blackberry, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Shenzhou...

There are so many beautiful things in the eyes of Paul Jacob, but he searched over and over again, but he still couldn't find the lphone that moved his heart.

"Look at you, I'm in a hurry, sign the non-disclosure agreement first."

Lu Fei handed the contract in front of him, and then took a black leather case from Sun Hongjun. After opening the combination lock, four sample machines, two data cables, and a power bank were embedded in the center of the thick sponge.

"Shhhhh."

Paul Jacob had already been tempted by the devil, so he signed without even thinking about it, staring straight at the object that was exactly the same as in the photo, like a primitive man who was at a loss when he saw fire for the first time.

It has a clean and flawless body with a logic logo printed on the curved back. The small screen on the top of the front is predicted to be 3 to 3.5 inches, and there is a circular button similar to a Kindle below.

Against the backdrop of many mobile phones in the same industry, it is elegant!

Quite elegant!
"This one is called lphone3, corresponding to 3G."

Lu Fei pushed this mobile phone that combines the aesthetics of Meizu and Apple to him, and pointed out the location of the power button.

"Is this phone still on?"

Paul Jacobs rubbed his hands together, holding them carefully like holding a child. The animation that popped up when he turned on the phone made his fingers tremble, but when the lock screen interface popped up, a pull bar suddenly appeared, according to Tips to slide.

In an instant, a brand new door was pushed open.

"Oh, oh buy Karma!"

He swallowed two or three mouthfuls of saliva, as if his throat was dry, there is such a wonderful unlocking in the world?
"Shut down like this, and then turn it on like this."

Lu Fei seems to be dreaming back to his previous life, teaching his elder brother and sister-in-law to operate the smartphone.

Paul Jacob couldn't restrain his excited heart, trembling hands, and played for a full minute just by opening the screen to unlock.

In Lu Fei's eyes, the smoothness of the mobile phone's operation is definitely unqualified, but for Paul Jacobs, a "turtle" who has only seen functional phones, it is a blow to reduce dimensionality.

He stuttered slightly: "Lu, this is too smooth. Is this screen a resistive screen like Nokia?"

"This is a capacitive multi-touch screen developed by Logic. We have registered patents for touch technology and sliding unlock."

Lu Fei raised his chin, thinking to himself whether Jobs' iPhone can still be the same as in his previous life is unknown. After all, today's top touch screen, technology and slide unlocking are all owned by logic. Obediently pay for patents.

"God, it's really amazing, amazing." Paul Jacob tremblingly opened Spotify that has been adapted to the Android system.

fun, right?Can you play?Never played before?

Lu Fei, Sun Hongjun and others looked at each other, with bright smiles on their faces, especially Paul Jacob kept muttering "God" while operating.

However, no accident happened, lphone3 shut down inexplicably.

Paul Jacob looked at the blacked-out screen in astonishment, "Lu, what's going on?"

Papa papa, the slap in the face came so fast!

Lu Fei didn't change his face, "Oh, the one you're using is almost out of battery, you can use this one, it's fully charged."

Paul Jacobs had no doubts about him, eagerly holding a new lphone3 to play with, "Great, really great, Lu."

"It's great."

With a smile on his face, Lu Fei couldn't help but add in his heart, except that the heat dissipation of the battery is not satisfactory, the signal performance is barely good, etc., but there are absolutely no super, super, huge, huge mistakes like Apple's antenna door.

"What processor is used?"

There was a hint of worry in Paul Jacob's greedy eyes.

"The latest OMAP 3420 from Texas Instruments."

Lu Fei sighed, this is already the most available chip these years, and Texas Instruments is the best supplier of Android phones in the early days, especially the OMAP 3430, which can almost rub the Qualcomm of the same period on the ground.

Paul Jacobs was also aware of the gap in strength between his company and Texas Instruments, so he had to curb the idea of ​​replacing it, and then turned his attention to the second design with a larger screen.

"It's too big, how big is this screen?"

"4 inches."

Lu Fei glanced at the lfantasy, which looks exactly like a Samsung Galaxy S, hehe, can a person who steals a stick steal it? This is an act of justice!

"My God, is the processor in this also an OMAP 3420?"

Paul Jacob held it in his hand and couldn't put it down.

At present, the global mobile phone market is still dominated by many feature phones and clamshell phones with 1.9 inches. The touchable charm of 4 inches is more attractive than that of 3.5 inches.

"No, it uses Samsung's S5L8900."

Lu Fei glanced at Hu Yuhua, the latter easily recited the core parameters, the ARM 11 core architecture was developed, the core frequency was 412MHz, and the graphics processor was equipped with PowerVR MBX-Lite GPU, which supports polygon conversion and light source processing, which is already the first in the previous life An upgraded version of the generation iphone.

"Lu, how can such a perfect design use Samsung's S5L8900? The 90nm process is already outdated!"

Paul Jacobs knew the competitor's chip model by heart, and couldn't help being happy, smacking his lips and saying:

"Besides, the core architecture and process technology are both backward. The overall performance of this processor is definitely not the best batch. It is barely equivalent to the level of 486 processors in the PC era..."

"Otherwise, why did I choose to cooperate with Qualcomm?"

Lu Fei leaned forward, "But no matter how slow the system responds, how slow it is to open the app, do you think it's good or not?"

"It's not a question of whether it's good or not, Lu, it's really the rare kind, do you know what I mean?"

Paul Jacob glanced at the functional phones with various physical keyboards on the table, and then looked at the two touch phones. He was not afraid of not knowing the goods, but he was afraid of comparing goods. Put together, it is simply too cruel!

"I know."

Lu Fei nodded lightly, "If I use this to cooperate with you and help you smash Intel's 3.5G plan, is Qualcomm willing to license CDMA to Logic and The Paper?"

Paul Jacob pondered for a moment, "Lu, according to the rumors I heard from ZTE and Huawei, the logic seems to be to announce to the outside world that they will not make mobile phones from the moment they are established. Is the rumor false?"

"No, there is such a thing, but it's not completely accurate." Lu Fei shook his head and raised a smirk, "What logic doesn't make is just a functional phone like Nokia, and I call this a 'smart phone', which represents The future of mobile phones, the future of mobile Internet, also means the arrival of a new era."

Said, put a hand on Paul Jacob's shoulder, "When lphone3 comes out, it will be the first year of smart phones, and the entire history of human mobile phones will be divided into two. Paul, are you willing to change with me? the world?"

Oh, God!
Paul Jacob and Master Lu looked at each other, and they shuddered with excitement. In his eyes, the devil patterned Satan, and Satan patterned Lu Fei, and he was whispering to tempt himself as a lamb.

Sorry Lu, I admit I spoke a little louder earlier!
