    Through the car window, Giles watched the security guards who paid military salutes disappear from behind. He pressed the electric button, closed the car window, and looked forward.  On his knees, there is a thick stack of newspapers and magazines, with an English version of the South China Morning Post on top.  Giles doesn¡¯t understand Chinese, and there is no difference between Cantonese and Mandarin to him.  In order to grasp local public opinion, he could only ask people to buy various locally published English newspapers and magazines to learn about the latest developments.  Today¡¯s newspapers are all full of news about the strategic cooperation between Motorola and Taiyu. Some periodicals that have not yet arrived can¡¯t help but publish special issues to report on it.  It is said that the South China Morning Post is a British-owned newspaper and is known as the mouthpiece of the Hong Kong government. Many colonial officials publish comments and information on it. It is known for its extremely authoritative and independent and pertinent reporting. It is the largest-selling English-language newspaper on Hong Kong Island. Currently, it is  It is also the main reference for Giles to judge changes in Hong Kong's political and economic current affairs.  On the front page of this newspaper, there was a large photo of him and Taiyu Technology CEO Mao Xiuliang on the podium.  In the photo, Mao Xiuliang has a bright smile on his face, but he has a solemn face, slightly furrowed brows, and appears to be worried.  Next to the photo, in bold font, is the headline "Taiyu enters the field of wireless communications, which may shake Motorola's dominance."  Giles smiled bitterly.  He is not a fool, so he can naturally see the provocative tone of the South China Morning Post.  But what can he do? Can he really do what the Hong Kong government wants and publicly declare that Motorola will not cooperate with Taiyu?  Or will it waver?  You really think highly of us. In fact, when Taiyu Technology proposed cooperation, our position in the communications field had been shaken!  Outsiders think that the introduction of Taiyu Technology is a bad move by Motorola, and it is inviting a wolf into the house.  But who could know that this move was not Motorola's original move, but that it was forced to do so.  Throughout the entire process, Motorola responded passively.  In the words of the warlord president behind Taiyu Technology, he doesn¡¯t care whether he cooperates with Motorola or another company, as long as he can make money, he will cooperate with anyone.  If Motorola insists on clinging to the analog wireless network and uses its power in the political and economic circles to prevent it from making money, it will fight to get no money and will also publicly release digital wireless communication technology.  By then, even if Motorola does not accept it, other electronics giants will take the initiative to participate and replace Motorola in the digital mobile communications market.  If it fell to that point, not only would Motorola's ten years of hard work be ruined, but it would also be unable to receive any investment, and the losses would be immeasurable.  By cooperating with Taiyu, you can at least share digital mobile communication technology with them and earn enough profits from it.  To think about it differently, just think that Motorola has been developing digital mobile communication technology for the past ten years, and now it has finally achieved success.  At this time, in order to successfully open the market, Taiyu Technology was also brought in, and the two parties worked together to promote it. Giles' face felt like he had eaten a bitter melon, and the corners of his mouth drooped, making him look like he was crying.  He tried hard to convince himself to look at this matter more optimistically, but the more he tried to find a reason, the sadder he felt.  What the hell is this!  Why do we say that when we develop digital mobile communication technology, we need to bring Taiyu in to share it? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? We are cheap, or we are full of food, and we feel that the market is too big for one family to feed, so we must be generous in distinguishing ourselves from others.  This reason is really sad. Not only can I not persuade myself to accept it happily, but I am even more upset.  My whole heart was surrounded by this indescribable negative emotion. I felt that the sky was all gray. I couldn't even laugh even if I wanted to. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became.  Ten years and over a billion dollars invested, just to share it with others!  Who can be persuaded by this reason? Who can be so mean as to hand over the information that he has worked so hard to study to others, and then happily hold the other person's hand and say: From now on we will be strategic allies!     Nonsence!  Giles clenched his hands tighter and tighter, crumpling the South China Morning Post into a ball. The raging anger in his chest made him want to shout to the driver several times: Go ahead, I just won't cooperate with Taiyu.  !  But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out.  "Hard words are easy to say, but things are difficult to handle."  Read the book Take a look Rejecting Taiyu Technology's cooperation invitation can be solved with a swear word and a middle finger, but the consequence is that Motorola will completely lose its leadership position in the communications field.  Ericsson, Nokia, or other companies, after hearing Taiyu Technology¡¯s sincere wordsPlease, absolutely wagging their heads and wagging their tails, immediately rushing to please their new owner like a pug, with absolutely no sense of humiliation.  It seems that I am still too hypocritical!  Who said that if we are developing analog mobile communications, Taiyu Technology cannot invest in research and development of digital mobile communications.  Our research is about to mature, and they have recently achieved decisive results. This is a common occurrence in the scientific research community, and can only be said to be a coincidence of fate.  Thinking of this, Giles's throbbing heart finally calmed down a bit. Although he was still a little unwilling and a little painful, he was at least willing to accept this reality calmly.  Motorola has not accumulated any experience in digital mobile communication technology.  After the emergence of microprocessor technology, Motorola, as a pioneer in the industry, invested certain resources in pre-research in this area.  The result is that it is too difficult and the timeline is too long.  Digital mobile communication technology is by no means simple, nor is it difficult.  In terms of analog communication technology, if Motorola considers itself second, no one would dare to say it is first.  From here, it doesn¡¯t look like it¡¯s that difficult to switch from analog to digital. ? But it¡¯s not.  The biggest difficulty in digital mobile communication technology lies not in communication technology, but in the fact that the progress of semiconductor technology is too slow!  In the early 1970s, when Motorola began to develop wireless communication technology, the world's first microprocessor 4oo4 was born. Its line width was ten microns and it only integrated 2,200 components.  As an epoch-making product, it is amazing, but that¡¯s all.  Because for wireless communication networks, this level of integration is still too small, so small that the cost of circuit integration is not as valuable as using discrete components.  The most suitable place for it to play a role is in motor drive logic operations and machine tool automation, rather than in the communication field where circuits are extremely complex and huge.  Then there is 8o8o, launched in 2074, which uses six-micron line width technology and has an integration level of 4,500 components; 8o86, launched in 2078, integrates 29,000 components and reduces the line width to three microns.  At this time, Motorola finally began to face up to the development opportunities brought by semiconductor technology to wireless communications.  However, this level of integration still cannot afford wireless communications, especially the decoding circuit required for user-side handheld phones.  According to calculations, a semiconductor chip that integrates logic circuits, decoding circuits, and control circuits must reach at least one million in order to be suitable for use.  The highest integration level of current semiconductors, 30,000, is only 33% of the minimum requirement. It is acceptable for integrating some auxiliary circuits, but it is simply impossible to integrate core circuits.  According to Moore¡¯s Law, semiconductor integration doubles every eighteen months.  Based on this calculation, reaching the minimum million-level integration level required for wireless communications will not be possible until at least the early 1990s.  This is the reason why Motorola is always tempted in the face of the advancement of semiconductor technology, but in the end is determined to move away from analog network technology: it is either unwilling or unable!  It would take until the 1990s to have sufficient conditions to develop special-purpose chips. So from the 1980s to the 1990s, could it be that we did nothing and waited for a window to open?  Is this still a company whose purpose is to make money?  Motorola also admits that analog technology is very backward and will be eliminated by the times, but no matter how backward it is, at least it will be sufficient for a long time and can bring huge profits to the company, and that is enough.  But no one expected that Taiyu Technology would ignore the easiest-to-implement analog technology and concentrate on digital technology, and it was actually done by them.  The same problems that Motorola encountered were also encountered by Taiyu.  "But they didn't wait for the advancement of semiconductor technology. Instead, they understood all the principles of the digital core circuit, and then divided it into four and disassembled it into four integrated circuit blocks.  Although each chip requires an additional 25% of peripheral circuits, relying on this ingenious and powerful design capability, the four independent chips can realize real-time data transmission, mutual cooperation, and jointly complete the data  Decoding functionality is required!  According to the information submitted by Taiyu Technology, the efficiency of this combined chip is only 30% lower than that of a single chip!  Even if they are bragging, even if it can achieve 50% of the operating efficiency of all core circuits integrated into a single chip, it has undoubted practical value.  But this is not a successful application of semiconductor technology, but a victory in design!  This kind of strong design ability is definitely top-notch!  It is because of admitting thisWith the realization of the practical feasibility of the 1/4 chip, American Telegraph and Telephone Company was determined to abandon the analog network and switch to the digital network.  Therefore, Motorola reluctantly admitted the failure of analog technology and agreed to cooperate with Taiyu Technology.  Of course, even if it is dismantled into four chips, the integration level of a single chip is still as high as more than 300,000, which is still a height that current semiconductor technology cannot reach.  In terms of semiconductor technology, Intel is the strongest. The current highest integration level is about 80,000 to 90,000. As for the specific research progress, Motorola, as a peer, is not sure, but it can roughly guess the other party's level.  Based on this progress, by the middle of next year, they will probably be able to produce a chip with an integration level of around 150,000.  ¡°Then in eighteen months, that is, one and a half years, it will not be difficult for semiconductor manufacturers led by Intel to produce integrated circuits with an integration level of more than 300,000.  After that, other semiconductor manufacturers will also master the manufacturing process within one to two years, and prices will drop significantly.  This is the fundamental reason why Bell Labs, after verifying the technology, positioned functional chips with practical value in two to three years!  So there is still plenty of time.  Strategic cooperation between two companies in a certain field is never achieved once or twice. Instead, it requires both parties to negotiate terms, argue, and arm-wrestle over and over again, and only then can they recognize each other's capabilities.  , reasonably consider the interests and requirements of the other party, make corresponding concessions, and gradually improve the last clause.  From deciding to cooperate to finally signing a legally binding contract, it is normal for it to take months or years.  Giles doesn¡¯t plan to conclude negotiations soon. Taiyu has an advantage in digital technology, but Motorola has a greater advantage in analog technology.  He has the patience to slowly grind with the opponent.  When necessary, the head office will be asked to send a large number of technical support teams and legal teams to talk slowly with Taiyu Company.  If it is technically unattainable, he will try to get it on the negotiation table.
