Back to 1995

Chapter 457
In addition to the huge dollar rewards, Alcatel Mobile once again reported that it will open option rewards. The target is still the management of Alcatel Mobile, as well as the personnel of the R&D department and laboratory.

You must know that the R&D personnel of Alcatel mobile phones are not large, only a few hundred people. Even if they are allocated to the part of the cooperative Bell Labs, the R&D personnel of Alcatel mobile phones, on average, can be divided this time. Cash rewards of nearly US$[-], not to mention, the big head is the option rewards later!
Now everyone can see that as long as the second-generation mobile phone launched by Alcatel mobile phone does not stretch the hips, then the launch of Alcatel mobile phone is nothing more than a matter of course.

As long as it goes public, it will immediately become a benchmark for mobile phone giants such as Nokia, Motorola, and Ericsson. The market value will conservatively exceed tens of billions of dollars. Getting options on Alcatel mobile phones is basically equivalent to realizing the freedom of wealth. !
The huge rewards and options of Alcatel mobile phones have stimulated countless companies in Silicon Valley, and there are countless technology companies in Silicon Valley, but it is rare to be so arrogant.

Even for those big companies on Wall Street, most of the dividends and rewards are for executives. Unless ordinary employees are geniuses, it is difficult to get various rewards.

But this time Alcatel mobile phone, although it is also for the management, but the same technicians and personnel from other departments also have the opportunity to get options!

This has stimulated countless people. Almost as soon as the news came out, technicians who wanted to switch to Alcatel mobile phones began to appear continuously. This is much more immediate than advertising or finding a headhunting company to poach people. No matter how good an advertisement is, it can't compare to a hair beauty knife made of real money...

In addition to rewards and options, Alcatel mobile phone has also introduced a series of changes to the industrial chain supplier company, making another change, publicly declaring that it will support the industrial chain manufacturers of Alcatel mobile phone, whether it is parts or raw materials Manufacturers, let them become the top companies in the industry!
It's hard to say how well the slogan is shouted, but Alcatel mobile phone reserves the profits of supply chain manufacturers and allows them to develop new technologies and products, but it really took out a beautiful knife and gave them profits!

Of course, in order to prevent raising white-eyed wolves, Alcatel Mobile also made a request to become a shareholder of Alcatel Mobile to become a shareholder of Alcatel Mobile. As a supplier, Alcatel Mobile has the right to require this supplier to prohibit cooperation with certain competitors!
This agreement is very overbearing. For big companies such as 3M, it is impossible to sign this agreement. The revenue supplied to Alcatel's mobile phone is only a part of 3M's business, and the agreement for Alcatel's mobile phone is ignored at all.

Alcatel mobile phones are not ready to ask big manufacturers such as 3M to sign this agreement. The key is those small and medium-sized manufacturers. For the order, I can only sign this entry agreement with Alcatel Mobile!

In addition to these, the mobile phone peers who are paying attention to the every move of Alcatel mobile phones found that Alcatel mobile phones suddenly began to dig up the corners of companies such as memory, wireless communication, Walkman, and musical instrument manufacturers, and dug a lot of these companies at high prices. The industry's technology giants.

Seeing Alcatel's actions, many mobile phone manufacturers have noticed that Alcatel is preparing to develop new phones, and these industries that can poach corners are really confusing.

People who dig memory manufacturers can also think that Alcatel's new generation of mobile phones may expand the memory. After all, the memory of the P1 mobile phone is really not enough.

People with wireless communication technology can also understand that the Alcatel mobile phone must want to improve the technology of the mobile Internet. Now the mobile Internet is the symbol of the Alcatel mobile phone, which represents high technology...

But in the next few hands, people are a little confused. People from Walkman and musical instrument manufacturers are digging, Alcatel mobile phones, what to play, really people can't figure out!

When the colleagues in America and other mobile phones were still guessing about Alcatel mobile phones, when they wanted to play tricks, the staff of the Symbian system in England had approached the German Fraunhofer Research Association and spent 40 U.S. dollars. The price of a knife, bought a license to use MP3.

At the price of 3 US dollars per year, he asked for a global patent authorization. The Symbian system signed a ten-year patent authorization in one breath, that is, within ten years, the MP3 patent and technology of the German Fraunhofer Research Association , are all managed by the Symbian system, and other manufacturers have to pay to the Symbian system if they want to use the patents and technologies related to MP[-]...

Such a price is indeed somewhat beyond the expectations of the German Fraunhofer Research Association. It is true that MP3 technology has been developed early, but now it is only regarded as an audio format, and that is all. MP3 The sound quality of MP3 is still far inferior to that of CD. Professional musicians don't look down on MP[-] technology at all, and regard it as heresy.

That is to say, with the rise of the Internet in the past two years, MP3 began to be used as software for encoding voice files on computers, and MP3 was used, which made MP3 slowly began to be used.

But that's all. No company has commercialized MP3 technology, that is, it is used in electronic products.

The German Fraunhofer Research Association doesn't know why they want to buy the Symbian system back, and they also keep a hand. The German Fraunhofer Research Association requires that if the Symbian system is used in the future, MP3 technology will be commercialized, or other manufacturers will use these technologies , must be distributed to the German Fraunhofer Research Association, because the MP3 technology generates more than 3% of the patent fees.

The staff of Symbian in Europe, after consulting the Alcatel mobile phone headquarters, bargained with the Fraunhofer Research Association in Germany. The Symbian system is used by itself and does not need to pay again, but it is authorized to be used by other brands. A patent fee must be paid to the Fraunhofer Research Association.

At the Microsoft headquarters in Seattle, since this year, Microsoft has finally experienced the feeling of being chased and bitten by dogs. Since Netscape began to sue Microsoft for its browser monopoly, it has been chasing and biting Microsoft in dozens of states in the United States.

Recently, Netscape didn't feel like it was enough, and it burned the flames of war to Europe and Asia. It united with many software companies in Europe that suffered from Microsoft to file a lawsuit against Microsoft. Everyone thinks that Microsoft is not pleasing to the eye, and wants to follow suit and initiate a lawsuit against Microsoft, mainly to get a fine from Microsoft.

In the face of lawsuits, anti-monopoly, and infringement cases all over the world, it finally made Microsoft feel strenuous, and it also made Bill Gates tireless.

"So, this time, let me enter Capitol Hill and be interrogated by those old antiques who don't understand technology at all?!"

Bill Gates raged at the group of senior executives in front of him, as well as the invited legal experts and consultants. After being output for a while, the group headed by General Counsel Brad Smith was also silent for a while. .

This time, Netscape obviously came here with the intention of dying with Microsoft. It didn't want to settle at all, but wanted to kill Microsoft. For this reason, Jim Clark rejected the settlement agreement proposed by Microsoft through an intermediary. Including a veteran Congressman from Capitol Hill, Jim Clark refused without even showing his face.

Seeing a group of lawyers who spent a lot of money and assembled, all were silent at this time. Bill Gates pulled back his tie irritably, and said with an angry smile, "Bruno Song hasn't been sent yet. Capitol Hill was questioned, now I will be sent up, right?"

Thinking of this, Bill Gates is depressed. Song Yang is so new to the Trade Commission that he has not been sent to Capitol Hill to make a fool of himself. It is Microsoft's turn, but he may become America, the first person to enter Capitol Hill to be questioned , can be regarded as making history, but Bill Gates doesn't want such a record at all.

"It's different this time. The Federal Department of Justice has come forward, and Netscape has provided too much evidence. Perhaps, entering Capitol Hill, facing congressmen on Capitol Hill, and all users and viewers in America, for Microsoft, instead This is an opportunity to get more supporters and let the entire American people understand that breaking up Microsoft is not the best choice, Microsoft should be the pride of the American technology industry, not an opponent!"

Brad Smith said to Bill Gates that he thinks that Microsoft has a bad image and is regarded as a villain. If Microsoft is to make changes, at least on the surface.

Just as Bill Gates was about to speak, the door of the office was pushed open, and the assistant came in and handed Bill Gates a document, "The head of the mobile device department, I want to hand over this document to you, saying that this matter is very important!"

Picking up the document, Bill Gates looked at it a few times, first showing a look of surprise, and then his face became serious, "Let him come here now!"
