Chapter 156: Crossing the river and crossing the bridge fee

After experiencing countless difficulties and obstacles, a traveler who was about to reach his destination, wiped his dusty forehead, but suddenly found sadly that what was standing in front of him was a wide and dangerous river.

There is no ferry that "the wild ferry is left alone". Unfortunately, this overworked traveler would not "strike the water in the middle of the river", otherwise he would definitely drown and feed the big fish, so he had to find a bridge across the river. There is only one bridge across the river, but "I opened this road and built this bridge. If I want to cross this bridge, I will leave money for crossing the bridge." The traveler met a super bastard who charges the bridge fee, and is a official license and protected by the laws of various vassal states.

Whether you pay or not, you have the freedom to pay and the freedom to pay. After paying a high protection fee, you can cross the river smoothly. Unfortunately, this bridge crossing fee is not a one-time fee. As long as you are still alive, you have to pay one more day for every extra one.

Of course, you can not pay, but if you force yourself to pass, you will face the danger of being beaten and seeing an official. If you don’t pay, you will never pass through this big river - unless you also have a different means of crossing the river, you can also collect bridge fees or protection fees based on this!

For example, a pontoon bridge is not easy to build a pontoon bridge on this dangerous river, and it is too dangerous; for example, building a ship, but there is a Titanic as a typical reverse; or building a helicopter, but this is more investment than building a bridge, and after being busy for twenty years, he may not have been able to make it happen; or you might as well build a cross-river tunnel, but this is not easy. If unfortunately, the crust under the riverbed is a geologically complex active layer, and your previous investment will be wasted.

This example is used by Li Siming to illustrate the characteristics of today and future patented technologies: it protects some people and hurts more people. Of course, you can say that in the 1980s, China, which was still relatively closed, there is no need to consider whether it infringes on patents of foreign companies. "Take a ideology" is a necessary means to quickly improve the country's technical level without paying any price for it. Of course, this is understandable and can be followed, but the development of the international economy will eventually make these behaviors opposed by more and more people. In the environment of "globalization" in the future where you have me and I have you, this will only be subject to economic revenge. What's more, in most cases, we can't even imitate. On the roads in Chinese cities and rural areas in the 21st century, all cars with foreign brands are running - automobile technology is not too high-tech, right?

Tigers in the forest will use their own urine and fur to circle their own territory. Also in the field of high-tech, the ones that label themselves are their own. Since its establishment, MSI has dreamed of becoming the creator of the latest technology, not a simple imitator. In Li Siming's eyes, only technological innovation, or even becoming a standard maker can achieve eternal foundation and achieve excellence.

Among Li Siming's four major research centers, wireless communication is the most likely breakthrough - this refers to the original patented technology, rather than the more than 100 patented technologies introduced in wafer manufacturing. At this time, the first generation of cellular mobile communication technology in Europe and North America had already become practical and commercial. This is an analog digital communication technology, relatively simple and uses a regional technology. At that time, the industry generally believed that as long as the power is increased and the propagation range is expanded, the cellular mobile communication system is based on a fixed telephone network. Since the composition of each analog communication mobile network is very different, the frequency band and channel bandwidth used are difficult to unify, so users between the networks of each system are inconvenient to roam, and the total capacity is also greatly limited.

Li Siming certainly knew that in the future, the fatal weaknesses of analog communications will become increasingly prominent: there is no public interface between various systems; it cannot adapt to the rapid advancement of fixed networks to digitalization, and it is difficult to carry out digital carrying services; low frequency utilization rate, unable to adapt to the requirements of large capacity; weak anti-interference and anti-radio wave decay, low confidentiality, and easy to be eavesdropped. These problems restrict the advancement of mobile communications and cannot meet the vigorous market demand.

In countless Hong Kong movies, Li Siming saw actors holding a brick-like thing in hand, "Big Brother", and can only send out a ridicule that later generations will have. Such a mobile phone has another function that designers may not have imagined: it can definitely be regarded as a very satisfactory weapon at critical moments.

While the first generation of mobile communication technology is becoming practical, the second generation of digital communication technology has also emerged. The purpose of its development is to target the weaknesses of the first generation, allowing all parts of the world to use a mobile network standard, so that users can travel around the world with a mobile phone. Once successful, it means countless money and benefits. The typical representative is the famous GSM later, but the original technology of this system was not defined at the end of 1986, let alone standardized and standardized.

Li Siming's Wireless Communication Technology Research Center aims at the second generation of communication technology, not GSM, but CDMA - this technology was first used in confidential anti-interference communication in the military. It can be said that the CDMA technology has a long history, but CDMA or to be precise, it cannot find a better application in addition to being used in the military field. If Li Siming also studies GSM, he cannot avoid other people's patents and may not get rid of them, so he takes a different approach and takes another path. And in the long run,

, This technology has a more promising future. The American company named Qualcomm has just been born. This company is one of the few companies that later made a lot of money by patent authorization. It is a greedy image in the industry. It is common for other companies to "go to court" with other companies. The company now called Mobira and later renamed Nokia had to pay 500 million US dollars in patent fees every year. However, at this time, CDMA was considered an almost impossible system by the industry, and domestic technical comments and analysis also roughly gave similar conclusions.

Only when technology is blank can you give it the opportunity to scatter at will. If the paper in front of you is a painting, you can only modify it slightly without changing the main content. This is the so-called "secondary development" of technology and cannot avoid other people's things. What's more, Li Siming in this field can be said to be an expert, far more proficient than other aspects.

"I don't ask you to get results immediately, but there must be a rigorous research progress control plan.

The first phase, from now until the end of 1988, will take two years to develop key technologies. In this regard, we will work closely with relevant units of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to make progress in key technologies and basic technologies. We have already started this aspect. Patents must form our own patents, and I don’t want to see them being controlled by others.

The second phase, from January 1989 to 1991, is the second phase, with the main objectives being field tests, systems and application demonstrations;

The third stage is from 1992, with the main goals being pre-commercialization, practicalization, miniaturization and commercialization design work.

How about it, I don’t give too much time, right?” Li Siming said to the project leader Chen Jian.

"It would be even better if it was too long!" Chen Jian said.

"What? We need to relax a little bit. Brother, time is life. We must master key technologies. We will immediately negotiate with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In this regard, they will also send relevant experts to assist you. Your center must study the docking work and collective public relations. What they lack is research funds, but we do not lack it. This is a good thing for us for the country. At least we can concentrate on doing things that the country wants but cannot do." Li Siming encouraged, "You kid is lucky this time. In the future, some people say who the father of modern CDMA mobile communication technology is. You can say loudly that it is me, Dr. Chen Jian and Chen!"

"If you really say that, you will be more qualified." Chen Jian was not grateful. "Our thick technical research and development framework information is not something that ordinary people can write."

"Don't worry, in the first stage of the future, I will devote 80% of my energy to this work." Li Siming promised, "Once this step is successful, the subsequent one will be much easier."

"That's good!" Chen Jian was very happy to see Li Siming making such a promise, "Old Ye, is there no problem? This is what you said in person!"

Lao Ye is mainly engaged in microprocessor research. In Li Siming's concept, if this can succeed, it is a huge victory, but the probability of success is too small. The likely result is that he spent a huge amount of research funds but was disappointed. Li Siming was very pessimistic about this project in his heart. This is one of the reasons why he valued the second-generation mobile communication technology so much, but he concealed this very well. He could not sentence the project to death before his subordinates could conduct in-depth research. The temptation of this project is too great, and Li Siming is reluctant to give up. Giving up now and if he wants to try it in the future, it would be too late. This will undoubtedly bring financial pressure to the company and distracting attention.

Li Siming was very clear about this, so he felt it was necessary to clarify the future development strategy of the chairman. Li Siming could not do research on behalf of Lao Ye, and only provided financial support and personnel assistance to the best of his ability, and this was the case.

"You are underestimating Lao Ye. Lao Ye is a long-tested loyal man, but he doesn't have so much thought like you!" Li Siming said.

"No, aren't Lao Ye and I guys? We don't want him to have ideas and think that the company doesn't value him. If the company loses such a talent, wouldn't I become a sinner?" Chen Jian looked concerned and said it really well.

"You just have fun secretly?" Li Siming said contemptuously, "I don't believe that you have such a kind heart and such a big picture!"

"You're preconceived. Although we've been in the company for less than three months, do you believe in falling in love at first sight?" Chen Jian blinked at Li Siming. His eyes with glasses were still shiny, which made Li Siming's whole body be filled with bumps.

"Don't make this expression like this. It would be great if you fall in love with MSI at first sight. It would be even better if you can stay together forever." Li Siming said with a smile, "But don't blink at me and secretly send you a secret message. We are all big men, so this is not popular!"

"..." Li Siming's words forced Chen Jian to choke, "This is just a habitual movement, not as unbearable as you said!"

"It's good if there is no, we need to grasp material civilization and spiritual civilization together." Li Siming "encouraged" and said, "If there is, change it; if there is no, encourage it!"

"I'd better go to work!" Chen Jian fled in panic with his tail between his legs.

Chen Jian had just left Li Siming's office. Before Li Siming had time to drink tea, he heard someone clamoring outside, as if someone was trying to cross Secretary Zheng and wanted to break in.

"Is it a relief for you?" Li Siming cursed in his heart. He rarely appears in the office.

With a "bang", someone opened the door and broke in. Li Siming waved his hand and asked Secretary Zheng to retreat.

The person who came was Gao Shengli, who was the only one from the University of Pennsylvania among the same group of returning people. He received a degree in computer engineering, so he worked under Lao Ye. What impressed Li Siming the most was that he claimed more than once that he wanted to be a Moore in China. Of course, Li Siming was very welcome. It would be even better if he wanted to be Einstein or God Buddha.

The only thing that this person is short of is that he is more impatient in character, which is contrary to his team leader Lao Ye. Lao Ye is very steady, but in a high-tech team, being too steady is not a good thing. If the team members have a more jumpy thinking, some like to seek innovation and change, and some are steady and have a view of the overall situation, in short, it is a diverse team, which is a very good team. Everyone will have some shining points and can complement each other.

But unlike what Li Siming imagined, today, Gao Shengli, who was full of gunpowder, had a conflict with Lao Ye, who was steady. The two of them had a bit too much in their words, but Gao Shengli believed that Lao Ye was "a senior official" and suppressed his objections, so he found Li Siming, the "Grand Master Qingtian" who came here.

"I'm quitting, I'm going to quit!" Gao Shengli sat down and shouted.

Li Siming couldn't help but frown. This was the first time since the company was established.
