"Mr. Lu, at the global 5G standards conference, there are now three camps. The Chinese camp headed by us and Huawei supports the Polar code, the American camp headed by Qualcomm and Samsung supports the LDPC code, and the European camp headed by Nokia and Ericsson. Supports French turbo code."

On the phone, Sun Hongjun made a serious introduction.

"Turbo code is nothing to worry about. It's all about studying with the prince. The final choice is between LDPC code and Polar code."

Lu Fei was sitting in the office, stirring the coffee.

"Yes, we, Huawei and ZTE voted for the 'LDPC+turbo code as eMBB scenario data channel coding' solution in exchange for Ericsson and Nokia supporting the 'Polar code as control channel coding' solution."

Sun Hongjun sighed, "But the final result may be similar to the first round. Qualcomm's LDPC code will become the only data channel code."

"The current controversial point is that Polar code has become a control channel code, and it is competing with LDPC for long codes and short codes."

Lu Fei bit it and shouted "Troublesome".

This year's 3GPP conference will be attended by numerous global manufacturers, including NEC, Ericsson, LG, Sharp, Samsung, Nokia, Alcatel-Lucent, Intel, Shenzhou, Lianxiang, Motorola, vivo, Oppo, Xiaomi, Tianyu...

But there are only eight companies that can really be considered core.

Huawei, ZTE, Nokia, and Ericsson are the four global communications giants, as well as Logic, Qualcomm, Samsung, and Intel, which master a large number of key communications technologies. In the global competition for 5G standards, these giants have the largest say and volume.

The camps are also clearly divided.

The LDPC camp is the strongest. Three of the eight giants support LDPC. Turbo includes Nokia and Ericsson. Polar also supports ZTE, Huawei and Logic.

Now, Turbo is destined to be the first to lose, and the two votes from Nokia and Ericsson are crucial.

"In terms of control channel coding, as long as we make concessions and agree that LDPC code becomes the only data channel coding, we should be able to switch to equal support from Qualcomm and Samsung."

Sun Hongjun wondered: "The only problem left is long and short codes. LDPC codes at least have more technical advantages than Polar codes in the data channel. In the first round of voting, we lost to Qualcomm, especially Lianxiang. What the hell? Land went to Qualcomm."

"Lianxiang?"

Lu Fei raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, Lianxiang acquired Motorola, and his company is equivalent to having two votes." Sun Hongjun was puzzled, "But I never expected that it would completely fall to Qualcomm."

"I'm not surprised at all that Lian Xiang did this." Lu Fei curled his lips.

"But I just can't figure it out! ZTE, Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo are all competitors of Huawei and Shenzhou in China, but for such an important matter as the 5G standard, they can put aside their grudges, unanimously speak out, and vote for us and Huawei , even MediaTek, HTC, and Acer voted for us, so why doesn’t Liu Chuanzhi support us!”

Sun Hongjun's puzzled tone was mixed with anger.

"Sooner or later we have to settle this issue, but the top priority is that since Polar code cannot compete with LDPC code in the long code, we should at least try to win the short code."

Lu Fei's face darkened.

"Mr. Lu, what should we do?"

Sun Hongjun couldn't wait to ask.

Lu Fei smiled and said: "I'm here to connect with Samsung and Nokia. I guess they don't want Qualcomm to monopolize long and short codes. They simply use LDPC codes for long codes and Polar codes for short codes."

Sun Hongjun hesitated for a moment, "Is this possible?"

Lu Fei said quietly: "I believe they will agree. I will give them a reason that they cannot refuse."

Sun Hongjun was excited. Whenever he said these words, there was basically nothing he couldn't do.

"In the 2G era, Europe and the United States were far ahead of us, so the standards were set by American companies. Although we caught up a little in the 3G era, the gap is still obvious. In the 4G era, we worked hard and finally caught up. Now we are in the 5G era. , this is an excellent opportunity to overtake, the 5g standard is a crucial competition for China, and there is absolutely no room for failure."

Lu Fei said it plausibly.

"Yes, Mr. Lu, we guarantee that nothing will go wrong!"

Sun Hongjun felt deeply burdened, but his tone was firm.

"With opportunities now, there is only responsibility."

Lu Fei mentally took out his little black book and silently wrote down "Lianxiang" in preparation for settling the scores in the future.

The 3GPP meeting will go through multiple rounds of voting, among which the "5g eMBB" coding technology will last for three months.

"Yuan Qing, isn't it inappropriate for us to keep voting for Qualcomm over Lianxiang and Motorola?"

Liu Chuanzhi frowned, feeling something was wrong.

"Mr. Liu, we are doing this entirely out of the company's strategic considerations. With Lianxiang's current technology and patent reserves, we can only maximize our benefits by choosing Qualcomm's LDPC code solution." Yang Yuanqing explained, "Although the Polar code It can allow China to overtake in corners on the 5G standard, but on this new track, Lianxiang does not have the technology accumulation of Huawei and Logic, so it is completely starting from scratch. This kind of thing that harms oneself and benefits others must not be done."

"But if the voting results are reported back to China, it will be detrimental to Lianxiang's reputation." Liu Chuanzhi reminded solemnly.

"Mr. Liu, we have also taken this into consideration, so we will side with Qualcomm in the key voting, and wait for the long and short codes to decide the winner. The overall situation has been decided, and next year's vote will become insignificant. When the time comes, Lianxiang will vote for Logic. With Huawei’s control code solution, no one will blame us.”

Yang Yuanqing smiled coldly.

At this moment, the cell phone buzzed, and the Lianxiang representative who was attending a meeting in Europe immediately reported the final voting results.

In terms of data long code, Qualcomm won without any suspense.

But a sudden change occurred in the short code. Even though Lianxiang and Motorola both voted for Qualcomm, unexpectedly, the Polar code narrowly defeated the LDPC code with a slight advantage of one vote.

"what?!"

Liu Chuanzhi and Yang Yuanqing looked at each other in shock.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Yang Yuanqing scolded: "How can Polar code get short code! Obviously in the last round of voting, the total votes were 3 votes short, and the key votes of Nokia and Ericsson were also cast. LDPC code!”

"Samsung, Nokia, and Sony all rebelled, and our two-vote advantage was instantly offset."

Representative Lianxiang was not without frustration.

The two giants Samsung and Nokia voted for the plan of "Polar code as a short code for data channel".

The LDPC camp headed by Qualcomm, in order to obtain unanimous approval on the data channel, and in order to make Huawei and the logic camp make concessions, had to compromise on the control channel and data short code. The final result became——

Future 5G models will all be "Qualcomm's data + logic and Huawei control". In terms of coding, Qualcomm's LDPC is the long code, Huawei and Logic's Polar code is the short code. Sino-US Communications is truly Divide the world on 5G.

"how so……"

Yang Yuanqing's face was stiff and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Why would Samsung and Nokia rebel? Don't they hate logic the most?"

"Don't worry about it now. What we need to do now is to make up for it. Lianxiang's next vote must be for Huawei and Logic no matter what." Liu Chuanzhi clenched his fists, trying to cover up the fact that Lianxiang surrendered to the enemy at the critical moment.

However, it is still a step too slow!

Huawei and Logic's polar code shined in the global 5G standard. The news quickly spread back to China, and the entire network was immediately excited. Everyone was celebrating and fell into a carnival of celebrations.

The media rushed to report it and even interpreted it as a landmark event for China Communications to become a world-class event. However, in the joyful atmosphere, "Lianxiang Voting" appeared on Weibo at an inappropriate time.

Immediately afterwards, WeChat, NetEase, New Wolf, Penguin, etc. followed suit, giving Lianxiang a big exposure.

All of a sudden, Lian Xiang was roasted on the fire.

In the past few years, in the competition with Shenzhou in the domestic and foreign markets, whether it was "cost-effectiveness" or after-sales service issues, I had accumulated all kinds of dissatisfaction with Lianxiang. It had long been like a pile of dry firewood, only one small thing was missing. flames.

The Qia Qia voting incident was that spark that directly ignited everyone's anger, and new and old grudges were settled together.

Lian Xiang was criticized verbally and written, and the media followed closely behind netizens and severely criticized Lian Xiang. Bloomberg even evaluated Lian Xiang as——

“The most disappointing tech stock of the year!”

Faced with the surging public opinion, Lianxiang's Hong Kong stock price continued to fall, and its reputation and goodwill were about to fall to the bottom.

"We can no longer remain indifferent."

"This is a fierce competition that wants to destroy Lianxiang. We will never allow Lianxiang to be slandered like this! To be slandered like this!"

In the huge conference room, Liu Chuanzhi faced the silent crowd, slapped his hand on the table, raised his voice and said:

"We must take active action, and all employees must actively contribute ideas and suggestions. We must unite as one, share the same hatred and fight against the enemy, and fight to the death to win this battle to defend our honor!"

"Yes, Mr. Liu!"

The executives spoke in unison, their voices shaking the sky.

"I have already sent out the article "Fight to the death to win the battle to defend Lianxiang's honor!" and invited my friends in the business world to forward their support. The results will be seen soon."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was excited.

But to everyone's surprise, including Liu Chuanzhi, very few Chinese entrepreneurs forwarded and responded to it online. Even the members of the Taishan Society who were closest to them in the past also pretended to be ostriches.

For no other reason, Mr. Lu is very angry, and the consequences will be serious!

Instead of gaining support, Lianxiang faced more severe official criticism, which even affected its business.

"Mr. Liu, Lianxiang has been removed from the purchasing lists of many units such as the National Government, universities, and hospitals. What should I do?"

"Mr. Liu, sorry, there are rumors that the government is making big moves. For information security reasons, tens of millions of computers across the country will be replaced. Whether they are HP or Dell, they will all be replaced by Huawei or Shenzhou. , we, Lianxiang, have been abandoned!"

"Mr. Liu, the private companies that have always had a good relationship with us have canceled their cooperation with Lianxiang and given all their orders to Shenzhou."

"........."

One after another, executives broke into the chairman's office and brought bad news to Liu Chuanzhi, who had returned to the profession.

"Uh~"

Liu Chuanzhi had just taken the Suxiao Jiuxin Pill, but his chest was still twitching, and the pain made his entire face distorted and hideous.

His breathing became rapid, and his ears also showed signs of tinnitus and difficulty hearing. What made him most uncomfortable was his uncontrollable blood pressure.

Just when he thought he was at a trough and it was time to rebound, he never expected that even greater bad news would hit him.

The Hang Seng Index Company, which is responsible for compiling the Hong Kong stock market index, announced that Lianxiang will be removed from the 50 constituent stocks of the Hang Seng Index and will be implemented immediately when the market opens in early September this year.

"what!!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Chuanzhi's head buzzed and he fainted.

"Mr. Liu! Mr. Liu!"

"Hospital! Send to the hospital quickly!"

Executives were scrambling to get people to the hospital.

No matter how well the confidentiality work was done, Liu Chuanzhi's condition was still leaked, and it turned out to be a stroke caused by cerebral thrombosis.

Half of the body is paralyzed, and the person is completely disabled!

Just like Lian Xiang today, Fela is unbearable!

The root cause of all this is blamed on offending Mr. Lu! (End of chapter)
