This time Xiong Baizhou came to Qualcomm, and there were two things that were finally put into practice.

One is the business of 100,000 VCD chips. The production cost of this movement is very low, maybe only a few dollars to more than ten dollars per one, but the price Qualcomm gave Xiong Baizhou was 800 yuan in a "friendly price".

You should know that the production cost of Aisheng vcd is not just about chips, but also about labor, molds, scientific research, operation and other costs. The total cost of a Aisheng finished VCD is about 1,600 yuan. Although there is still a lot of profit compared to the VCD that costs more than 3,000 yuan per unit on the market, Xiong Baizhou also wrote down this account with a warm smile like spring breeze.

Now the vcd market is slowly reaching its peak. The 800-yuan chip is indeed the market choice, and the total cost of 1,600 yuan is considered relatively low, especially compared with Wanyan, a vcd cost of more than 300 yuan.

It can be seen here that almost all disc machine manufacturers are currently taking advantage of Wanyan’s dividends. Without Wanyan’s technological creation and market preparation, there is no VCD curtain now.

However, Xiong Baizhou really felt the helplessness of being strangled by science and technology in this matter. He made up his mind to insist on independent innovation in future mobile phone project research and development.

"Once Qualcomm loses its technological advantages and is completely controlled by Zhoumei Electric in terms of channels, it is time for them to pay off their debts."

While Xiong Baizhou was intimately discussing the matter of chip payment in batches and installments with Drake, he turned his attention to the omnitracs satellite positioning technology in the showroom.

This is the second thing that has been implemented, and Xiong Baizhou remembered it only after being reminded by this technology.

"Mr. Xiong is interested in our equipment? This is a movable positioning system developed based on CDMA transmission signals and Viterbi decoder. It has a wide coverage area, clear tracking signals, and the signal receiver is small and hidden and difficult to detect."

Compared with the chip business that is one-time trading, Drake actually prefers to rent such technical achievements.

First, it is more in line with Qualcomm's technical positioning;

Second, these systems must be operated and maintained by professional engineers. There are a lot of costs involved, which may even exceed the value of the equipment itself. It is just like maintaining a car is more expensive than buying a car;

Third, it can increase Qualcomm's reputation by relying on technology.

"If I were to rent this equipment, how much would it cost?" Xiong Baizhou asked.

"This system is not expensive. Small terminal systems are less than 00,000 US dollars, and each branch signal receiver is only a few hundred US dollars." Drake replied: "But because this is a real-time monitoring system, the connection between the terminal system and satellite needs to be adjusted and updated at all times."

"It's just that the maintenance cost is relatively high, right?" Xiong Baizhou asked.

"Mr. Xiong is very smart. It depends on how many branch receivers you have." Drake nodded, and he was also a little surprised: "Why does Mr. Xiong have ideas about this mobile positioning system? Zhou Mei Electrical Appliances should not have such demand."

Xiong Baizhou thought about it and decided to tell the truth, because if the system really needs to be used by Liantong Express, it will definitely require the cooperation of Qualcomm.

"I also have a courier company in my hand, and I'm just on the right track. I plan to apply this system to the transportation fleet to clearly capture the location of the vehicle."

After hearing this, Drake felt that Xiong Baizhou was involved in a wide range of businesses, and on the other hand, he felt that things were very coincidental: "This system was originally commissioned by a logistics company in the United States, but that company is relatively large, so the maintenance of terminal equipment is also expensive, but Mr. Xiong's company should not require too much money for the time being."

"This system." Xiong Baizhou walked around the transparent exhibition box for a few times, and after pondering, he made up his mind: "I want it!"

Drake was stunned for a moment, thinking that he would make a decision so soon? You should know that Xiong Baizhou even had to bargain with the VCD chips, why did he be so active in the satellite positioning system?

Xiong Baizhou saw Drake's doubts and explained: "My express company has been established for a long time, but it has been delayed for several times but has not taken the biggest step."

After saying that, Xiong Baizhou briefly introduced the growth experience of Liantong Express. Drake said he understood very well after hearing this. Any growth of a reform business requires setbacks and polishing, and it is no wonder Xiong Baizhou is anxious if it has no significant effect in such a long period of time.

"I hope this satellite system can help Mr. Xiong's express company truly grow." Drake Friends shook hands with Xiong Baizhou again to announce the completion of the second business.

The specific matters are naturally Shen Liqing from South China to connect with him, but Drake is not worried that Xiong Baizhou will go back on his word.

"However." Xiong Baizhou frowned: "How to solve the food, accommodation and salary of the system maintenance engineer?"

"Of course, our salary is paid by Qualcomm, but Mr. Xiong has to arrange it properly for food and accommodation. After all, they are working for Mr. Xiong's company." Drake did not have the idea of ​​taking advantage of it, but the Qualcomm system did stipulate this. This is why Qualcomm was repeatedly punished for "overlord clauses" and also had a reputation of "violating fair competition regulations."

"I use my money to pay my salary, and then ask me to arrange accommodation and meals. Qualcomm is really domineering." Xiong Baizhou smiled in his heart. He had a way to take back his capital and interests, but he still showed a weighing expression on his face, frowning and thinking.

Drake was not in a hurry at all, and he still had the intention to bring in two cups of coffee because the technology could not be copied.

"I agreed." Xiong Baizhou finally nodded in agreement, but also made a request: "Many people in the Internet Express Company do not understand English. From the perspective of convenient communication, can they send two Chinese engineers with good skills, or they are Chinese who work at Qualcomm after studying abroad? I want them to take up maintenance positions."

"It's okay." Drake agreed immediately. There were still many Chinese technical engineers in his company, and the customer's requirements were also very legitimate.

If Drake knew Jiang Wanmeng, then Old Jiang would definitely pull Drake and persuade him: "Laode, you must not send talents, especially technical talents to people like Xiong Baizhou. This is how the chief engineer of Wanyan Technology Research Institute is gone forever."

Unfortunately, Drake didn't know that Xiong Baizhou had this "perverted" habit. With Xiong Baizhou's methods and background in China, he used all kinds of methods, and was afraid that he would not be able to retain his technical talents who were Chinese?

"Then I don't have many problems. After I return to China, I will send someone to contact Manager Chen." Xiong Baizhou agreed to see Guo Xiaojiang yesterday, so he refused Drake's request for dining.

After Xiong Baizhou left Qualcomm, Drake's smart business sense always felt that there was a slight omission, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was no neglect in the matter.

"Maybe the cdma project has not reached a real agreement, so I am so skeptical."

Drake has a good sense of Xiong Baizhou, he is quick and easy to do things, he is very energetic and has deeper understanding of problems. This is a good partner at present. Perhaps after Qualcomm takes the initiative in the CDMA market in the future, Zhoumei Electric Appliances will not have much value for cooperation. Whether to get rid of it or continue to cooperate requires further observation.
