Chapter 512 Shocked the communications industry, Warwick went crazy
"Mr. Yu, a letter of inquiry from Deutsche Telekom."
The assistant quickly handed the inquiry letter to Yu Dong.
This inquiry letter is bilingual in German and English.
Yu Dong is definitely not good at German, but there is no problem with English.
Yu Dong picked up the inquiry letter and read it word by word. The European executives around him also gathered around to read the letter.
The content of the inquiry letter is very simple. It is to hope that Warwick can send relevant personnel to the bid evaluation site to accept some questions from the owners and bid evaluation experts, and to answer some questions in the bidding documents for the experts in the future.
After seeing this inquiry letter, Yu Dong knew that Warwick was almost certain to win this bid.
Yudong can arrange for relevant technical experts and economic experts to go to the bid evaluation conference room.
As for technical experts, there are 3G specialists from Changtian Technology.
In Berlin in September, the weather is still very hot.
The outdoor temperature was as high as 33 degrees Celsius, which was a day with little rain.
Experts from Warwick entered the bid evaluation room for questioning.
Yu Dong was outside the building, waiting anxiously.
Whether you exhale or inhale, the breath is so hot that it makes people feel like they are about to stop breathing.
There are no birds in the sky anymore, and the wild dogs on the roadside have curled up in the shade, sticking out their tongues.
Sweat has soaked Yu Dong's clothes, and the secretary has asked Yu Dong to go back to the hotel to rest many times.
But if the results here are not available, how can Yu Dong still have the time to rest?
This is Warwick's most critical battle.
Companies such as Siemens and Nokia are relatively stable.
Siemens has basically established a good relationship before bidding, and is here to wait for the notification of winning the bid.
Nokia is not worried at all. Nokia is building 3G base stations in many markets around the world. Its technology is at the forefront of major communication companies in the world, so it believes that winning the bid this time is basically a certainty.
Nokia Chairman and CEO Ollila is also paying attention to Deutsche Telekom's trends.
This is an order from German Telecom. The amount is not large for Nokia, but Ollila also attaches great importance to it.
Because if this order is successful, it means that Nokia's 3G communications business has officially opened the German market. From then on, the business will not be 200 million US dollars, but 2 billion US dollars or more.
Ollila called Falcao, the president of the German company, and inquired in detail about the current situation.
Falcao was quite optimistic, saying: "We have obtained a quotation from Siemens through channels. Their quotation is 10 million yuan more than ours. We are full of confidence."
Ollila said happily: "I will give you a long vacation after this mission, Mr. Falcao."
Four hours later, Warwick's technical staff walked out of the bid evaluation room.
Yu Dong also stood outside for more than four hours.
Yu Dong quickly asked: "How is the situation?"
Chief Technical Officer Xu Wenshan gave a thumbs up and said to Dong: "Don't worry, Mr. Yu. If we don't win the bid this time, it will prove that the entire group of experts at Deutsche Telekom are blind."
In the bid evaluation room, as experts, especially experts from Deutsche Telekom, after detailed discussions and in-depth analysis.
I have always thought that Warwick had the highest score and should have won the bid.
Warwick has strong technical capabilities, high technical standards, cheap prices and short construction period.
Especially the price is cheap, 50 million to 70 million dollars cheaper than other companies, which is not a small number.
The head of Deutsche Telekom said: "We have no reason to reject such an attractive offer."
No matter how you say it, Warwick is a well-known global communications manufacturer, so everything promised in Warwick's bidding document must be true, unless Warwick no longer wants to do business in the future and is willing to be bankrupted by Deutsche Telekom's claims.
This is a very realistic situation, real money is above all else.
No one can live with money.
The next morning, Deutsche Telekom announced the winning bid for Berlin's 3G base station and supporting communication network construction.
Winning bidder: Warwick.
As soon as the announcement came out, the global communications community was in an uproar!
How could it be Warwick!
After listening to the news while holding coffee in Nokia's headquarters, Ollila remained silent for a long time.
Ollila was extremely angry!
What he feels now is that the cooked duck has flown away.
What was lost was not the 200 million order, but the untapped German communications market.
Ollila was a little angry and asked the marketing department staff: "Did you get the information wrong? Are you sure the company that won the bid this time is Warwick?"
The person in charge of the marketing department quickly replied: "It is indeed Warwick!"
Ollila asked again: "Is Deutsche Telekom bidding for 2G communications this time? When did Warwick have the construction capabilities for 3G communications?"
The person in charge of the marketing department could not answer this question.
Ollila said angrily: "Check it for me! This matter must be checked for me. I want to know the answer within a day!"
Qualcomm and Cisco in the United States also saw this order from Europe.
No one understands when Warwick acquired 3G technology and why the price is so low!
Qualcomm's senior executives and technical experts have carefully calculated the contents of Deutsche Telekom's 3G communications tender.
According to the existing 3G technology and construction costs, the quoted price of US$220 million is quite reasonable.
Warwick actually won the bid with a price of 160 million yuan, which was tens of millions cheaper than others!
This is tens of millions of real money.
Qualcomm's cost accounting department even believes that if the price of 160 million US dollars is given to Qualcomm, Qualcomm will simply not be able to make it.
The executives of Qualcomm and Cisco even suspected that Warwick was trying to seize the market and was doing a loss-making business!
"It's definitely a loss-making deal!" This is a sentence in the minutes of Qualcomm's internal meeting.
What kind of thing is a bride who is about to marry her running away with a poor boy from the country?
Siemens executives immediately contacted Deutsche Telekom and strongly requested Deutsche Telekom to publish Warwick's detailed bidding information.
The phone calls to Deutsche Telekom's senior executives and relevant departments were also inundated during this period. Everyone was asking them to provide technical information related to Warwick. They believed that Warwick's bid price this time was untrue and untrustworthy.
In order to calm the storm, Deutsche Telekom took the initiative to publish the key contents of the bidding documents of several companies.
In Shenzhen City, Ren Fei got the news that Warwick won the bid and was in a good mood!
The first thing he did was to call Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao was in Jiangzhou and answered the phone with a smile. Dan Ding said: "Congratulations, Mr. Ren!"
Communication is just a platform, and the fun has just begun.
