Reaching for the stars with one hand

Chapter 49 Success is always accompanied by acquisitions
On the outskirts of Munich, Germany, two engineers are testing a very special-looking RTK product, and one of them has a Chinese face.

There is no radio station, and the device is connected to the Siemens cellular phone module recommended by the madman to Zhang Yong, but not one, but four.

The Chinese engineer connected the four data streams of the four modules to the same data synchronization module, and then exported a fused data stream, which was not connected to the RTK rover, but was connected to his own laptop first.

The data stream was opened through the HyperTerminal, and he carefully checked the fields.Finally he nodded, closed his laptop, and plugged the data cable into the RTK rover.

Then the two nervously stared at the screen of the RTK control controller, and soon, the two showed joy, "Is it done?"

"Look at the reference station distance?"

"1.3 meters. My God, we succeeded." After the two embraced, they jumped up excitedly.

……

……

In far away Beijing, the network base station bidding project of the engineering center has just created the history of GPS high-precision hardware procurement under the attention of the whole world.

And on the outskirts of Munich, unbeknownst to anyone, the tests of these two men are making another piece of history.This is the first time in history that a multi-base station differential system is accessed. They used the data of four base stations to generate a new differential data.This differential data crosses geographical boundaries and extends the range of RTK to infinity.

The 1.3 meters they mentioned just now is not the real base station distance, but a pseudo base station generated next to the mobile station after signal fusion.

At present, the R&D team named this technology pseudo-base station technology.

The two reported the good news back to the company. While everyone was celebrating over the phone, they were also informed of another slightly unexpected news.

The world-renowned satellite navigation giant Skydon is negotiating with them about the acquisition, and the boss, Dr. Hyland, has basically agreed that their company, including the successful research results they have just achieved, will belong to Skydon in the near future.

……

……

Another high-level meeting personally supported by Skydon President Steve, Carl, who was not directly related to today's content, unexpectedly became the protagonist again.

He was a little confused about this, "Steve, R&D has never been my responsibility, why should I take care of this matter."

"This is not research and development. The board of directors has very high expectations for the application and promotion of this technology. Moreover, we just have this opportunity in China. Isn't the Chinese market one of the regions you care about most?"

"I'm sorry, Steve. From my understanding, everything that can't be directly sold as a commodity belongs to the work of the product and R&D department. Is the pseudo-base station technology mature enough to be exchanged for money?"

"Of course not, but this system still needs more improvement and improvement, but we need an actual testing and application environment, and China may be the most suitable place. Carl, you don't know, a professor in China's research and overseas Dr. Rand's research coincides with Dr. Hyland's research. Although Dr. Hyland's results have not yet been achieved, he has successfully built a real test network. So this matter is best left to you and your little one. Tiger is in charge. Believe me, Carl, you will not regret it. The vast land of China needs such technology the most. Perhaps this technology can mature rapidly in China and be promoted quickly. At that time, it will still be your responsibility business scope."

Carl was persuaded by the boss, but still frowned, "We need a very professional engineer to take charge of this project. But at present, the China representative office only has business marketing and technical support."

Steve said: "I can notify HR to create such a position in the China representative office, which will take effect immediately. This is the only thing I can do, and leave the rest to you."

At the end of the meeting, Carl mentioned the China base station network project.

Steve said: "We have already reached the conclusion of this matter, so there is no need to worry about it. Whether Techtech is acquired or not will not change my attitude towards this matter. If there is an opportunity, then go for it .If you can’t fight for it, let it go. But there is one thing..."

Mr. President suddenly turned to Carl, and raised his voice: "Don't give up this user just because you lost this project. If calculated based on the number and density of base stations in Japan, and based on China's land area, they need more than 150. In the future, they may It is tens of thousands of units. We do not rule out that there will be phase II and phase III of this project.”

……

……

As Mr. Qin said, shortly after Tiangong Group's winning bid was announced, the bidding team received a letter of challenge submitted by Mihe Company and several companies.

The letter did not question the qualifications of Techtech products and Tiangong, but focused on the legitimacy of Techtech’s corporate identity.

The news that Techtech was acquired by the French Mag company has been officially disclosed, and everyone questioned whether the Techtech authorization letter used by Tiangong in the bidding still has legal effect.Will this project get the support of the new owner?Whether the future supply and after-sales service can be guaranteed.

Mihe also specifically pointed out that Techtech does not have any legal office in China, and Tiangong Group, which is bidding now, was an agent of SKyodn not long ago. They doubt Techtech's sincerity in doing business in China.

Mihe also submitted a certificate issued by Skydon, proving that Skydon had arranged the engineering center test a year ago, but it was only the final result, because of the contradiction between Skydon and Tiangong, which was hidden by Tiangong.Now because of the change of Techtech, SKydon implores the engineering center to postpone the bidding, and Skydon is willing to donate two sets of equipment and restart the equipment test.At the same time, Skydon is also willing to make compensation for the progress of the project affected by the delayed procurement of the engineering center.

The Chinese version of the SKydon document was translated and written by Tiger himself. He is very confident in his writing skills, and at the same time, he doesn't like the articles written by him.

This letter of challenge has achieved the expected effect. Usually, the bidding company only needs to forward the letter of challenge to the company being questioned, and let them reply within a limited time.But this time, before Tiangong Group could reply, there was a heated discussion inside the engineering center.

……

……

Academician Zhu from M University received a letter from Steve, the president of SKydon, and expressed his high praise for Academician Zhu's research on the new generation of base station networks. At the same time, he expressed his willingness to fully cooperate and support Academician Zhu's research. Co-construct China's first permanent fixed station network based on pseudo base station technology.Later, SKydon Beijing Representative Office will contact Academician Zhu to communicate the specific plan.

That night, Master Zhao received a call from an angry madman, "I said earlier, the opportunity will come back soon, and now it has come."

Master Zhao let out a sigh of relief. Of course he didn't think Zhang Yong could solve his problem, but at least the representative office was no longer completely tilted towards Mihe.

……

Carl and Tiger also had a phone call.Cole talked about the pseudo base station project and the decision to recruit the base station project director on the phone. Finally, Carl mentioned the name again. Have you never seen that Yong?
Tiger replied, I guess we will see each other soon.He is currently our enemy, competing with us for the base station network project, maybe I can meet him in the engineering center.
