Intelligent Industrial Empire

Chapter 400-Ericsson's Crisis

This kid actually refused even the favor of his own mayor.

Xie Heping also knows that Yun Fei is strong in company personnel.In the past, people in many government departments wanted to use their influence to arrange for their relatives to go to September 1st Heavy Industry. Yun Fei, the kid, would rather stop the approval procedures and not give in. In the end, the small officials had to give Find the steps yourself.

Procrastination is okay, but it won’t work if you don’t do anything or deliberately embarrass you.

Otherwise, the young boss of Jiuyi Heavy Industry will move on impulse, and will affect the economic development of Rongcheng. No one can afford to go around.

Xie Heping also took a sigh of relief after receiving the recruitment brochure handed over by Yun Fei.

Ericsson headquarters, Kista, Stockholm, Sweden.

"Everyone, take a look, this is the information given to us by a friend of the Patent Office who has a very deep relationship with our company who is responsible for patent review in electronic communications! Take a closer look!" The coquettish secretary took a thick copy The information was handed to the senior management and technical staff on both sides of the huge round table in the meeting room, the company's chief operating officer Howard said with a cold face.

After the company was founded by Mr. Lars Mainus Ericsson in 1876, after hundreds of years of development, the company has grown from a telegraph repair shop with only one or two employees to a giant multinational company with tens of thousands of employees. How much effort?

Since Martin Cooper of Motorola in the United States invented the portable mobile phone in 1973, Ericsson's market share has become smaller and smaller.If it were not for the deep accumulation in the telecommunications industry, it would soon launch its own mobile phone based on Motorola’s mobile phone, and with the traditional market share, the mobile phone produced by itself would occupy 30%-40% of the entire market. Perhaps, Ericsson has gone bankrupt due to serious losses.

With the rapid development of electronic technology in recent years, the replacement of mobile phones has become faster and faster.

People in the industry have a deep understanding.

In 1987, as the Chinese market in which the reform and opening up economy became active, Motorola sold its first analog signal mobile phone, and Motorola surpassed Ericsson and became the industry's first brother.

All senior members of Ericsson who are holding their breath can only bite their teeth and develop new and more advanced products to surpass their opponents.

Now the company’s technology department has not yet fully conquered the digital signal transmission communications of the new mobile phone has not been fully researched successfully, but did not expect that China, which has always been the emerging sales market of their telecommunications industry giants, actually has local competitors. , And the company’s technology has come to their fore.

"Who can tell me why we, with such profound background and technical reserves, have developed a new type of mobile phone that uses digital signals for communication in a poor country where the electronics industry is blank, and our technical department is still there. Going on vacation?" Seeing that these core layers underneath lowered their arrogant head in silence, I couldn't help getting angry.

Over the years, the company has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in research funds, but the technical department has not yet produced the final product.

"Jim, something like this has happened. As the general manager of the Asia region, don't you have anything to say?" Howard also knew that even if he urged officials in the technical department now, it would be of little use.

The matter at the European Patent Office will not be delayed for long. Since the Chinese have applied for a patent, they must have mastered a comprehensive technology, otherwise, they will not even apply for patents for those designs.

The Chinese market is the biggest opportunity for Ericsson to surpass Motorola once again and become the leader of the mobile communications industry.

Even, in order to cater to those wealthy upstarts in China, Ericsson started the design before the digital signal communication technology was fully researched and mature.

For face-saving Chinese, even if the communication quality is poor, it is something that can be tolerated. If a mobile phone cannot make them feel face-saving, they will not buy it.On the mobile phone with analog signal, Ericsson’s big brother looked domineering because there was no big brother from Motorola, and defeated Maicheng in the Chinese market.

"Mr. Howard, I'm sorry, please forgive me for my dereliction of duty. Over the years, my main energy has been focusing on the technological trends of Japan's Sushang and South Korea's Double Star, ignoring the competitors emerging in the Chinese domestic market. I think there is a It may be a false alarm. It is impossible for China to complete the digital signal communication problem without a breakthrough in the technology of even analog signal communication..." The general manager of the Asian region can be said to be one of the core rights in the entire company. One.

Whether in Europe or America, the market for mobile communication equipment is highly competitive.

Although it occupies 30% to 40% of the market share, most of them are brought about by the support of traditional markets and huge channels. If there is no breakthrough in technological research, product updates will not be timely, not only It will become a joke to catch up with Motorola, and even the European market may be completely surpassed by Nokia of Finland Espoo!

"A false alarm? It is impossible for China to study it? Mr. Jim, please tell me, is the technical information provided by these immigration officials false? Is it possible? What have you done in Asia? Staring at Korea and Those Japanese competitors, who are still studying analog signals, are our opponents? I think your energy has been wasted on those Japanese actresses and South Korean actors!" There is not enough attention to competitors, It's all because Jim, the old bastard, wasted most of his energy on the belly of those Japanese and Korean women!

"While they have not applied for these technology patents, can we..." a short old man suggested to Howard.

"Mr. Noffi, please put away your nasty thoughts. Do you want Ericsson to go bankrupt in the scandal?" Howard interrupted his assistant directly.

Such things, if exposed, can directly bankrupt Ericsson.

There have been many scandals in Europe over the years.

Moreover, the other party still finds the Merck Schiller law firm with rich experience in intellectual property to help apply for the patent.

People in the patent office can at best help delay a period of time, but no matter how delayed these patents have been searched, it is impossible to delay until they can come up with related technologies or designs.

"I'll give you one more month. If you still can't come up with a mature design, you can pack your things and go!" It is said that the Chinese company called Wheat has already started a large-scale factory building operation. Within months, their products will occupy the Chinese market and even flood the European and American markets.I just don’t know if these guys will go to the United States to apply for a patent.

Now that others have come to Europe, will they give up the American market, which is as important as Europe?

The assembly line was invented in European and American factories, but it has achieved peak development in China.

Since China's reform and opening up, in just over a decade, hundreds of thousands of assembly-line production factories have been born in China, which makes the entire market flooded with cheap light industrial products made in China.

Although China's electronics industry is not good enough, it should not be because of this that others cannot implement mass production of these high-tech products.

Under pressure from the sudden emergence of competitors in China, Ericsson's scientific research and technology department began to operate with all its strength.

The European market in this era is not booming. Countless experienced electronic communication engineers cannot find jobs, and many people are even working on some assembly lines.If they are fired, those people will definitely be very happy to get the job.

"Miss Anna, I hope you come here today and tell me the good news. I really can't stand your German food anymore!" Li Lu, who was awakened by the doorbell, stared unhappily at the door and held the same The tall white milf with dark circles under her eyes still coquettish said with a frosty face.

"Miss Li Lu, the reason why I came back overnight is to tell you the good news!" Anna rubbed her eyes and wanted to have a cup of coffee first.

But she knew that Li Lu, a beautiful oriental woman who was very self-cultivating at first, did not adapt to life in Germany.Because of the delay of their team, this oriental woman with a very strong sense of national pride stayed in Germany for an extra week. She would never receive much treatment when she came to the door.

"So, the more than one hundred patents that our company applied for have been completed?" Li Lu heard Anna say that it had brought good news to herself, and the frost covering her face instantly disappeared.

"Uh, Miss Li Lu, look, can we go to the restaurant downstairs to have something to eat before discussing this matter? In order to make you feel at ease, I took the train back from Munich overnight and haven't had breakfast... …" Anna didn't mean anything.

This is the biggest difference between foreigners and Chinese.

If a Chinese encounters such a situation, in order to protect the customer, even if he is starving to death, he will first negotiate with the customer before going to dinner.But Westerners are different. They are often very direct, and they don't feel wronged to cater to customers.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was impolite. Let me ask you to eat breakfast. Wait a moment for me, I'll change my clothes..." Li Lu said embarrassedly.

These days, she is waiting crazy.

Capital Sanjian not only completed the patent registration of the entire Americas, but also won patent applications from Australia and some developed Asian countries.This makes her Yalishan big!
