The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 255 Sir, times have changed

After Zhang Zhipeng finished his opening speech, almost the entire audience stood up and applauded to pay tribute to him.

Even Alvin, the tall vice president, had to stand up, nodding, smiling and applauding.

Alvin felt empty inside at this moment.

He already had a desperate premonition: at this global 3G conference, Gaotong probably had no hope at all to gain dominance in 3G.

However, Alvin was very unwilling.

He thought to himself, no matter what, I'm going to give it one more try!
The 3G standard vote is tomorrow afternoon.

Then, I still have time to do the work of representatives from other countries on the scene.

No matter if it's coercion, inducement or bribery, I will do it!
I must bring the vast majority of representatives to my side!
Becoming the 3G world standard is no joke.

If you follow someone else's standards, it means that the whole world will have to follow them in the future.

As long as they occupy the main patents, no country will be able to bypass 3G.

The benefits involved are more than hundreds of billions of dollars.

At the morning meeting, after Zhang Zhipeng's speech, Huawei's president Ren Zhengfei and Huaxing's executive president Yu Chengdong went on stage together to demonstrate 3G to everyone.

One of them talked about 3G, and the other talked about full-touch smartphones.

If the two are combined, smartphones can use 3G network speed to watch videos, make video calls, surf the Internet smoothly, and more.

Their cooperation is very tacit.

This once again made the audience at the scene completely excited.

Everyone then realized one thing: when smart phones are combined with 3G, mobile communications will undergo a qualitative change from quantitative change.

After the two speeches, the morning agenda came to an end.

In the afternoon, the first person to take the stage was Nokia's representative Axley, who introduced the development of their 3G technology.

Axley also tried hard to show the excellent performance of their own 3G.

However, he had no confidence and he could only present their own 3G through PPT.

However, even the things on the PPT are not cool enough compared to Warwick's 3G.

The second one was Sony's representatives showing their achievements in 3G.

At this moment, although Jiaoben has been overtaken by China in GDP, they are still quite advanced in technology in some areas.

For example, in the field of communications, their mobile phones and communication equipment also have a place in the world.

Although they are not as good as Europe in terms of communications, they are also among the best in the world.

However, they cannot compare with China in the field of communications.

In fact, after Gaotong convened a communication meeting with the Lizard Party's communication giants, one of the first people to take the initiative to inform Huawei was a communication giant from Jiaoben.

The foot basin man is a typical two-faced person.

When they are relatively weak, they like to show weakness and hedge their bets.

Of course, they also like all-in very much.

He always wants to go all in and take a big gamble.

After the afternoon conference, Warwick, as the host, provided a sumptuous buffet.

During the meal, Gaotong's men started to attack everywhere, using threats and inducements to greet almost all the representatives.

They hope to get all the representatives except those from China to stand on their side.

They have an illusion that if they raise their arms and call for help, no matter what time it is, they will be able to get hundreds of followers.

Unfortunately, however, despite their attacks from all sides, they did not receive any decent support.

Even if they are threatening, they imply that if you don't support them, there will be trouble in the future.

But still no obedience could be obtained.

Alvin suddenly became a little anxious.

Because the intimidation that worked in the past no longer works.

That means they are doomed to fail miserably this time.

After dinner, Alvin went out personally. He first used the internal line to contact the Lizard Communication giant he had communicated with before, hoping that they would all come to his room for another meeting.

The situation is very urgent.

I don’t care about that much anymore.

Alvin felt that he had to secure the base first.

Alvin believes that within Lizard Party, no matter what, those companies should give him face.

Amei always talks about allies and partners. In fact, in their concept, there are no allies and partners. They are just followers.

Well, you could even say it's a dog.

When the owner calls the dog to come for a meeting, the dog should of course respond immediately and come over happily.

But this time, what Alvin didn't expect was that no one agreed to go to his room.

Those who received his call said that in order to avoid suspicion, it would be better not to go to Alvin's room.

As for the voting on the 3G standard, those people said with certainty that they would definitely vote for Gao Tong.

That night, the Gaotong staff and Alvin were busy until late at night.

They offered various benefits to the representatives from various countries attending the conference.

They hope to get almost all the representatives on their side.

They did get some promises of votes.

However, most people said they would make their final decision at the last minute.

This is actually a euphemism for rejection.

At 12 o'clock in the morning, the staff handed Alvin a form that contained a vote in favor of Qualcomm's dominance in the 3G standard.

Alvin took a look and found that the number of representatives who agreed to vote for Gaotong reached 57%.

Alvin asked the staff: Is this number reliable?

The staff member said: Anyway, the other party has agreed verbally.

As for whether Gao Tong will really be chosen when the actual vote comes tomorrow, I don’t know.

Alvin thought anxiously: Since those people have already agreed, they should be able to abide by the spirit of the contract, right?

After all, I am the one who uses both kindness and force.

Moreover, this vote was not a secret ballot.

Can those who promised to vote for Gaotong and then switched to another company withstand Amei's wrath?
The next day, there were other conference proceedings in the morning.

Qualcomm took the stage in the morning to demonstrate their own 3G.

Almost all the PPTs that Alvin had asked his subordinates to prepare had to be scrapped and re-written.

This PPT is truly earth-shattering and heart-wrenching.

They are very targeted.

The main goal is to strive to surpass Huawei in all 3G parameters.

Warwick's 3G said that the maximum download speed could reach 6M, and Gaotong boasted that his maximum download speed could reach 8M per second.

Warwick's 3G uplink is 2.8M.

The company then boasted that its 3G uplink speed could reach over 3M.

The main point is to suppress you.

Huawei said that the construction cost of its 3G network is low and the 3G network is more convenient to use.

Gaotong dare not mention the price, but only dares to say that it is the king of cost-effectiveness and uses the lowest price to create the best 3G network.

They also boast that their 3G patents are the most numerous and important in the industry.

In short, their main focus is shamelessness.

They thought that as long as I did my best to brag, they would be able to fool everyone in the world.

No wonder they always talk about "lying, cheating and stealing".

That morning, Alvin went up to give a speech in person.

He spoke eloquently on the stage with saliva flying everywhere.

Alvin boasted that Qualcomm was a powerful company that could easily crush Warwick.

Unfortunately, however, the audience did not really buy it.

His speech was punctuated by boos and jeers.

However, Alvin is thick-skinned and he is not afraid of being booed.

As long as we can turn the current predicament around.

He could let these people laugh at him.

Alvin talked on and on for two or three hours before he finally finished.

At the end of his speech, he made a desperate wish, saying that people all over the world should be able to afford 3G, and choosing the high-speed 3G standard means choosing the safest and cleanest network.

After he finished speaking, there was sparse applause from the audience.

This made Alvin very unhappy.

At the same time, it also made him very uneasy.

He was really upset because it showed that his speech did not impress the delegates at all.

People simply didn't believe what he said.

In that case, will they choose to vote for Gaotong?

……

At noon, Alvin asked his subordinates to take action again.

He had to confirm the votes of the representatives of various countries who had previously promised to vote for Gaotong.

Alvin even asked his subordinates to be more aggressive and told the representatives of various countries directly: If they do not support Qualcomm, they will suffer a fatal blow after the end of this 3G conference!

This is not pretending at all, it is just a naked display of tyranny and bullying.

Zhang Zhipeng certainly got the relevant report very quickly. Ren Zhengfei came to tell Zhang Zhipeng personally about the series of bullying behaviors of Gaotong Company.

"Comrade Zhipeng! These people really have no shame at all!"

"It's ridiculous that they were trying to play the seed oil and dish cooking equality card before!"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Those guys are all painted skins!"

"They whitewash themselves with all kinds of beautiful words! Inside they are just hideous evil spirits!"

Ren Zhengfei is a little worried: "I'm worried that the representatives can't bear the pressure, and then they will hold their noses and vote for the high stakes, then they will be passive at that time."

Zhang Zhipeng shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it. The representatives are not fools."

"Everyone will consider their own interests. Besides, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ami has declined, and now it can only hope to achieve its goals through intimidation."

"My prediction is: even many of the Lizardmen might be able to backstab the high-profile fighter."

"Because they won't get any benefit from voting for Gaotong."

“And by working with Warwick, they can get even more.”

When Ren Zhengfei heard what Zhang Zhipeng said, he felt that it made sense and he felt a little relieved.

After Ren Zhengfei left, Zhang Zhipeng thought seriously about the current situation. He felt that this time, there should be no suspense about Warwick 3G becoming the world standard.

The main reason is that Qualcomm and Huawei are far apart in terms of technology patents.

Moreover, we are now in China's home court.

We have also lobbied representatives from almost all telecommunications companies.

I believe the representatives should understand who they can follow to get more benefits.

Therefore, this time, there should be no suspense about winning the vote.

Zhang Zhipeng recalled the 4G voting in his previous life.

In fact, when 4G was developed in the previous life, Huawei already had a certain technological advantage.

When it came to the final vote to choose which technical standard to use as the unified standard, if someone hadn't wanted to change sides at the last minute and voted for Huawei, the 4G standard would have been taken by Huawei!

From this we can see that this traitor is the most harmful.

In the afternoon, the Global 3G Conference continued.

This afternoon, the last agenda of the conference will be fulfilled: voting to elect the world's unified standard for 3G.

There are three major giants running for the election.

One is Ame’s giant Qualcomm.

One is the European communications giant Nokia.

The third one is Warwick Company.

Before the conference started, Alvin, the vice president of Gaotong Company, sent his subordinates to present a gift to all the representatives.

This is a last-ditch effort.

Ren Zhengfei was sitting next to Zhang Zhipeng. When he saw this scene, his brows frowned.

"Isn't this a bit too unscrupulous?" Ren Zhengfei said.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "This method is quite crude. This kind of small favor actually has no effect."

"As a telecommunications giant, Gaotong's style of doing things is full of arrogance and self-will, which obviously makes people dissatisfied."

“No one would want to deal with a company like this.”

"Everyone is polite to him even on the surface."

"But deep down, maybe you hate him terribly."

"We just need to stay calm."

As the two were talking, Alvin strode towards them.

Ren Zhengfei wondered what he wanted to do here?
Alvin had already arrived in front of the table where the two of them were sitting.

"Aha! Mr. Zhang, it's an honor to meet you on this trip to China. You are one of my idols." Alvin stretched out a furry hand towards Zhang Zhipeng.

Zhang Zhipeng nodded calmly and said, "You're welcome."

Zhang Zhipeng and Alvin shook hands briefly.

He has to look okay on the surface, right?
You can't be as rude as Amei's people.

Alvin started his second sentence by saying, "I hope Mr. Zhang can support Qualcomm's 3G to become a global standard. Because it will be good for China."

Zhang Zhipeng felt very uncomfortable hearing this.

Is this the candor of the Aramco elite?
Zhang Zhipeng frowned and asked, "What's in it for us?"

Alvin said: "You can gain our Amei's trust with this!"

"You should know that we are still the strongest in the world!"

"I think you should learn to compromise."

"Only in this way can we live in peace."

Alvin spoke with a smile.

However, what he said was an undisguised threat.

Zhang Zhipeng laughed and said, "I think Mr. Alvin is just telling a joke."

"You are so funny, haha!"

"Yeah! Anything else?"

Alvin was stunned.

He finally mustered up the courage to walk up to Zhang Zhipeng. In fact, what he had just said to Zhang Zhipeng was said against his will.

He has no confidence at all.

He still believed that if he acted domineering in front of Zhang Zhipeng, the other party might give in.

Alvin said, "Mr. Zhang, I believe you don't want to conflict with us, right?"

“You have achieved great success in many industries.”

"You can't have it all to yourself, can you?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Haha! What you said is wrong, isn't it?"

"What I firmly believe in is the principle of fair competition in the market."

"We have achieved our current results in many fields because the market has chosen us."

"So, I think that if the opponent doesn't want to admit defeat, then the only way is to work harder and get it back with strength."

Alvin was speechless.

When the Lizard giants became strong enough, they called for globalism, hoping that all countries would open their markets and allow their products to enter.

Once they fall behind, they tend to pick up the weapon of protectionism again, trying to gain a chance to survive by protecting their own markets.

If you don’t believe it, look at history.

Alvin felt the huge aura pressure from Zhang Zhipeng in front of him.

He didn't even dare to do it again.

Alvin said, "Sir, I don't think you can win even if you vote this time."

"Why not just admit defeat? There will be a more gentlemanly solution."

His voice softened a lot.

Start fooling around again.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Then let's see the voting results. The winner takes all."

"Of course, if you think you can't win and give up, I will gladly accept your surrender."

Alvin was a little pissed.

However, he also understood one thing: did he want to win the vote by talking, or did he want to suppress the other party and make them admit defeat?
That is simply impossible.

"Hmph! Well, let's wait and see!" Alvin said with a sneer.

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said, "Well! Let's wait and see!"

Alvin turned and left.

In fact, he was very lost inside.

His original plan was: if he could overpower Zhang Zhipeng, he could make the other party surrender before the vote and take the initiative to canvass for votes for him.

That would have made it an easy win for Qualcomm.

However, the reality is cruel. Zhang Zhipeng ignored him completely and gave him a lot of trouble.

This made him feel a little embarrassed.

After all, he came in front of Zhang Zhipeng in public and negotiated with Zhang Zhipeng.

In the conference hall, many people were looking at him.

Originally he wanted to show his face.

Now it’s a good thing, instead of showing his face, he exposed his butt.

Alvin felt very embarrassed now.

When Alvin went over to talk to Zhang Zhipeng, everyone in the audience indeed turned their eyes to him.

Everyone was watching the negotiation between the two.

See whether the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind.

Although the two of them spoke in low voices.

However, body language cannot lie.

In the end, Alvin turned and walked away almost in despair.

This scene left a deep impression on all the delegates in the conference hall.

Everyone finally understood one thing: times have really changed! The once arrogant Amei has really fallen.
