411 Ericsson's Crisis
This kid even refused even the favor of himself as the mayor.
Xie Heping also knew that Yun Fei was strong in the company's personnel. In the past, many people from government departments wanted to arrange their relatives to Jiuyi Heavy Industry through their influence. Yun Fei would rather pause the approval procedures and not give in, and finally forced those small officials to find a way out for themselves.
It's OK to delay, but it won't work without doing anything or deliberately make things difficult for you.
Otherwise, the young boss of Jiuyi Heavy Industry would be impulsive and relocate Jiuyi Heavy Industry at that time, which would affect the economic development of Rongcheng, and no one would be able to take advantage of it.
After receiving the recruitment brochure handed over by Yun Fei, Xie Heping also took a breath.
Sedal, Stockholm, Ericsson headquarters.
"Everyone, take a look. This is the information given to us by a friend in charge of electronic communication patent review by a patent office with a very deep relationship with our company! Take a closer look!" Seeing the charming secretary handing the thick copy of the information to senior management and technicians on both sides of the huge round table in the conference room, the company's chief operating officer Howard said with a frosty face.
After the company was established by Mr. Ras Manus Ericsson in 1876, after hundreds of years of development, the company has developed 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 has it been put into?
Since Martin Cooper of Motorola invented the mobile phone in 1973, Ericsson's market share has become smaller and smaller. If it were not for its deep accumulation in the telecommunications industry, it soon launched its own mobile phone based on Motorola's mobile phones, and with the traditional market share, the mobile phones it produced have occupied 30%-40% of the market in the entire market. Perhaps Ericsson has gone bankrupt due to serious losses.
With the rapid development of electronic technology in recent years, the updates of mobile phones are getting faster and faster.
Everyone in the industry has a deep understanding.
In 1987, with the Chinese market where the reform and opening up economy was active, Motorola sold its first analog signal mobile phone, which surpassed Ericsson in all respects and became the number one in the industry.
The senior Ericsson staff who were holding their breath could only grit their teeth and develop new and more advanced products to surpass their opponents.
Now the company's technical department has not yet fully conquered the new mobile phone for digital signal transmission and communications. It has not been completely researched. However, it has not been expected that in China, a huge market that has always been the emerging sales market of these giant telecommunications industry companies, local competitors have emerged, and the company's technology has come to the forefront of them.
"Can anyone tell me why, with such a deep foundation and technical reserves, we have developed new mobile phones that use digital signals to communicate in China's poor country where the electronics industry is blank, and our technical departments are still on vacation?" Seeing that these core layers under our hands were basically silently lowered their proud heads, I couldn't help but get angry.
In recent years, the company has invested hundreds of millions of research funds in it, but the technical department has not yet produced the final product.
"Jim, this happened. As the general manager of Asia, don't you have anything to say?" Howard also knew. Even urging officials in the technical department now is not very useful.
The matters at the European Patent Office will not be delayed for long. Since the Chinese have applied for a patent, they must have mastered comprehensive technology, otherwise they would not have applied for patents for those appearance designs.
The Chinese market is Ericsson's biggest opportunity to surpass Motorola once again. It is impossible to lose anything to become the leader of the mobile communications industry.
In order to cater to the rich nouveau riche in China, Ericsson began its appearance design before it fully researched the technology of digital signal communication.
For Chinese people who are very proud of their face, even if the communication quality is poor, it is something that can be tolerated. If mobile phones cannot make them feel face-saving, they will not buy them. On analog signal phones, Ericsson's big brother lost to Maicheng in the Chinese market because he did not look domineering as Motorola's big brother looked domineering.
"Mr. Howard, I'm sorry, please forgive my negligence. Over the years, my main energy has been focusing on the technological trends of Japan's Soshang and South Korean Double Stars, and ignoring the competitors emerging in the Chinese local market. I think this may be a false alarm. China cannot complete the communication problem of digital signals without even making breakthroughs in analog signal communication technology..." The general manager of the Asian region can be said to be one of the core rights in the entire company.
Whether in Europe or America, the market competition for mobile communication equipment is very fierce.
Although it accounts for 30% to 40% of the market share, most of them are supported by traditional markets and brought by huge channels. If there is no breakthrough in technological research and the product updates are not timely, it will not only catch up with Motorola, but also the European market may be completely surpassed by Nokia in Espoo, Finland!
"A false alarm? It is impossible for China to study it? Mr. Jim, please tell me, are the technical information provided by these immigration officials fake? Is this possible? What have you done in Asia? Are they our opponents who are staring at the competitors of South Korea and Japan, and are still studying analog signals? I think your energy is wasted on those Japanese actresses and Korean actors!" The lack of attention to competitors is entirely because Jim, an old bastard, wasted most of his energy on the belly of those Japanese and Korean women!
"While these technical patents have not been applied for, can we..." a short old man suggested to Howard.
"Mr. Nofi, please put away your dirty thoughts. Do you want us Ericsson to go bankrupt in the scandal?" Howard directly interrupted his assistant.
If such a thing is exposed, Ericsson can directly go bankrupt.
There have been many scandals in Europe over the years.
Moreover, the other party found Merck Hiller law firm, which has rich experience in intellectual property rights, to help apply for patents.
People from the Patent Office can help delay for a period of time at most, but no matter how they have been searched, it is impossible to delay until they can come up with the technology or design related to it.
"I'll give you another month. If you can't come up with a mature design, just pack up and get out of here!" It is said that the Chinese company called Xiaomai has begun to build a large-scale factory. In just a few months, their products will occupy the Chinese market and even fill the European and American markets. I just don't know if these guys will go to the United States to apply for patents.
Now that others have come to Europe, will they give up the American market as important as Europe?
The assembly line was invented in factories in Europe and the United States, but it has achieved peak development in China.
After 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 has made the entire market full of cheap light industrial products made in China.
Although China's electronics industry is not good, we cannot feel that others cannot implement the large-scale production of these products that can be regarded as high-tech communication technology.
Under pressure from competitors that suddenly appeared in China, Ericsson's scientific research and technology department was working hard to start operating.
The European market in this era is not prosperous, and countless electronic communication engineers with rich experience 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 this job.
"Miss Anna, I hope you will come here today and tell me good news. I can't stand the food in Germany anymore!" Li Lu, who was awakened by the doorbell, stared at the tall white mature woman with dark circles but still coquettish outside the door, and said with a frosty face.
"Miss Li Lu, the reason I came back overnight is to tell you good news!" Anna rubbed her eyes and wanted to have a cup of coffee first.
However, she knew that Li Lu, a beautiful oriental woman who was very well-educated at the beginning, was not adapted to life in Germany. Because of the delay of their team, this oriental woman with a strong sense of national pride stayed in Germany for an extra week. She would never be treated well when she came to her house.
"So, our company has completed all the more than 100 patents applied for?" Li Lu heard Anna say that it brought good news to herself, and the frost that covered her face instantly disappeared.
"Uh, Miss Li Lu, look, can we go to the restaurant downstairs to have something to eat before talking about this? In order to make you feel at ease, I took the train back from Munich overnight and had not had breakfast yet..." Anna didn't feel anything.
This is the biggest difference between foreigners and Chinese.
If a Chinese encounters such a situation, in order to protect customers, even if they are hungry, they will first negotiate with the customers before going to have a meal. However, Westerners are different. They are often very direct and will not be able to compromise themselves in order to cater to customers.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm rude. Let's do this, I'll treat you to breakfast. Wait for me, I'll go change my clothes..." Li Lu said embarrassedly.
These days, she is almost going crazy.
The capital Sanjian not only completed the patent registration in the entire America, but also obtained patent applications from Australia and some developed Asian countries. This made her Yalishan University!
