Just after someone brought up this topic, the atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy.
Obviously, although it is a new company after the merger, there are still two obvious factions within the senior management.
Lu Hongliang's unitech is obviously more powerful. After all, he is the chairman and has absolute say.
But Wu Ying's importance in the company is not low, and his strength is obvious to all. However, if the company is to be moved back to Silicon Valley in the United States, Wu Ying will have to give up the domestic market that he has always insisted on.
"I don't agree with moving the company to the United States. The communication technology in the United States is relatively mature, and there are already giant-level companies, and the pressure of competition is not small."
"Furthermore, if we are just going to eat the remaining capital of unitech, what is the point of merging the two companies?"
As soon as Wu Ying said this, many people naturally echoed his words.
"Mr. Wu, although I agree with your idea, you have to be clear about the situation of our company. We currently don't have much funds on our books. If we continue to stay in the country, I'm afraid..."
During the dinner, a man with a Chinese character in a suit spoke.
At this moment, if Chu Tianyao were present, he would recognize the speaker at a glance.
Xue Manzi.
He has also met the famous Bitcoin tycoon in China more than 20 years later.
And perhaps no one knows that today in the 1990s, Xue Manzi was also one of the investment founders of UT Skanda.
Wu Ying had to be a little polite to this partner who invested 200,000 US dollars.
"Dr. Xue, I understand your worries. The company does not have much funds at present, but it is at the forefront of the development of domestic mobile communications. An emerging company like us can definitely attract investment. If it cannot be done domestically, it can go abroad. As long as it can attract investment,
If we invest, we can persevere."
Wu Ying glanced at Xue Manzi, and then looked at everyone in the field.
"Everyone, I don't need to say more about the potential of the Chinese market. This is a superpower with a population of 1.2 billion. If we can do it in China, we can far surpass the first-tier communication equipment companies in the United States based on the user base alone.
"
Wu Ying's words made everyone present fall into deep thought.
There is no doubt about the potential of the Chinese market.
But the crux of the matter is whether they have the ability to become the trendsetters of the future era.
"At present, in the field of communication equipment in China, in addition to traditional bp machines, mobile phones are rapidly emerging. However, China's domestic mobile communication technology is very backward. Motorola, which has the best sales, is still using analog digital signals. This is simply incredible."
During the dinner, Wu Ying's voice continued to sound.
Regarding the situation of the Chinese market, they have naturally done research before.
Motorola's mobile phones occupy almost 90% of the Chinese market. However, for such a product that is available all over the country, the communication technology used is still stuck ten years ago.
As everyone knows, foreign developed countries have already entered the 2G era and are using gsm and cdam technologies.
It was precisely because of Huaxia's backward technology in the communications field that Wu Ying and others saw hope for the company's development.
"Mr. Wu, we are not the only ones who have this idea. As far as I know, the gh398 mobile phone recently developed by Ericsson uses the GSM network, and it has also launched a Chinese version for the Chinese market. We have nothing in our hands now.
How can Yiwu compete with these big manufacturers?"
"That's right. In the final analysis, this is still a competition between technology and products. Our company has just been established. If we want to develop our own communication equipment, it will take at least two to three years, not to mention we don't have financial support yet."
…
During the meeting, everyone also put forward their own opinions on what Wu Ying said.
Although they all have a superior-subordinate relationship, the company has just been established and everyone here is a high-achieving student with great ambitions. In such decision-making meetings, almost all of them speak freely.
Even if he was refuted by everyone, Wu Ying didn't mean to be angry at all.
But when everyone was arguing, Lu Hongliang, who had been sitting silently, suddenly spoke:
"Speaking of technical issues, I actually have an idea. If it can be solved, it might save us a lot of research and development time."
"Lao Lu, stop showing off at this time!"
Hearing Lu Hongliang's words, Xue Manzi also asked curiously.
Not only Xue Manzi, but also Wu Ying and others also looked at Lu Hongliang.
Feeling the eyes of everyone, Lu Hongliang said calmly: "I wonder if you have heard of phs communication technology?"
"phs communication technology?"
Everyone looked suspicious, obviously a little unresponsive.
"I know this. This should be a second-generation communication technology developed by the Island Telegraph Company two years ago. It also belongs to wll technology. To put it bluntly, it is wireless local loop communication. It uses line-of-sight wireless coverage through microcells to connect user terminals to
Wirelessly connect to the local fixed telephone network, so that the line of sight can be freely moved within the coverage of the wireless network."
No one else knew, but at this moment Wu Ying took the initiative to explain.
Obviously, he knows about this so-called phs communication technology.
"From what Mr. Wu said, isn't this an enhanced version of a foreign cordless phone?
It’s just that cordless phones are used at home, and this phs communication technology expands the range countless times to achieve local wireless communication?”
Everyone here is a high-achieving student with unique experience in the field of mobile communications. After hearing what Wu Ying said, they all naturally understood it.
At this time, Lu Hongliang also nodded and said: "You are right, this is actually the second generation communication technology developed based on the fixed-line network. In academia, this is also called the poor man's cell phone, mainly because
Its base station coverage is small, the number of base stations required to be covered is large, and the signal experience is slightly inferior to the gsm network."
"But the most powerful thing about PHS technology is that it can be used regionally. We don't need to cover the whole country with base stations in the early stage, or even the entire province. We can do it even if it's just for one city.
, in this way, we can greatly reduce our initial investment costs and trial and error costs."
When Lu Hongliang said these words, everyone nodded.
The shortcomings of phs technology are obvious, but the advantages are also really attractive. Perhaps this technology is not suitable for more developed European and American countries, but if it is used in China, where mobile communication technology is relatively backward, it is simply the most cost-effective choice.
.
"But this technology belongs to the island country's telegraph company. If you want to use it, I'm afraid you will have to spend a lot of money to import the patent!"
Xue Manzi said worriedly.
Although his name contains the word "barbarian", he is more cautious than anyone else in what he does.
"I haven't consulted on this yet, but the most critical thing for us right now is to get an investment."
Lu Hongliang also spoke.
In the final analysis, everyone has returned to the original deadlock, which is the problem of funds.
Although UtSikanda successfully merged, the scale of the two companies is not large, and the funds are not even shallow, let alone strong.
The entire company's available working capital is estimated to be less than two million US dollars.
