Huawei to the sale of terminals business sector at the same time, counter-current and Datang Telecom has started on another terminal into the market breathtaking journey.

May 17, the day of the World Telecommunications Day, Datang Telecom announced the re-enter the mobile phone market and introduced the support of TD / GSM dual mode, GSM networks and support GSM / PHS network two of the three series of 15 mobile phones. At the same time, Datang Telecom is planning other end products, fully prepared to explore the field of TD terminal.

As a symbol, Datang Telecom has become a product coverage microelectronics, software, access, communication terminals and communication applications and services integrated manufacturers.

“Datang from all aspects of a comprehensive industrial chain intervention TD, speaking on the TD industry is good news too because the industry needs someone to vigorously promoted.” Industry analysis.

Although the industry is a good thing, but the industrial chain of other companies for the practice of Datang inevitably some worry because it from doing business standards have become what to do business, it is bound to create competition to other enterprises, the enterprises on the industrial chain Datang are very concerned about in the end would like to do »

Under the will of the state natural

Datang Telecom enter the terminal market is not Qingtingdianshui, it is learnt that its goal is to achieve an annual output of 10 million mobile phones, the industry entered the top three. At present, when many Chinese mobile phone manufacturers are still struggling in the marginal losses, foreign brands are also split mobile phone sector to whitewash the financial statements, this action alone is Maojin or Chengzhuzaixiong »

Accurate, it should be Datang Telecom to “return” to the mobile market. As early as 2003 and 2004, Datang Telecom had launched the licensing approach by the two mobile phones, but there is no scale, eventually phased out.

Since then, a complete industrial chain of TD Datang Group’s wholly-owned subsidiary of another – gradually became Datang Mobile TD-SCDMA terminal solutions provider, and occupy the country 70 percent of the market share. Its has to ZTE, BenQ, and Zhejiang Huali communications authorized the TD-SCDMA terminal solutions. However, Datang Mobile on industrialization of high-end chain, has played the role of Qualcomm, only provide a solution, there is no production for TD terminal.

However, this positioning in 2006, subtle changes have taken place. That year, Datang Telecom Group Zhou Huan, chairman of the original retirement, the SASAC sent by the China Mobile for many years before the true base.

Recalling TD every step forward, to see the will of the state in the lead. 2007 National Development Bank, China Construction Bank, CITIC Bank to the Datang Telecom huge amount of credit a total of 55 billion yuan, then, really only through the generous capital base to intercept chip operation, the system equipment and terminals research and development and manufacturing fields, to-take-all business The ambition is gradually exposed.

At the same time, in August 2007, the SASAC Director Li Rongrong to the Shanghai Securities News said that three years, according to the SASAC will profit levels, cost control ability and other factors constitute a composite indicator for national enterprises scheduled seating. The top three will do the industry will be forced reorganization of the SAC.

This is undoubtedly also appointed by the SASAC only true form of a great pressure in the development of ideas of Datang Telecom also adjusted to the overall bigger and stronger, not only Zuohuo a Datang Mobile, not only to meet the standards.

In order to make consecutive loss after two years of listed companies * ST Datang 2007 profit, as well as to the overall bigger and stronger. September 2007 Datang Group began restructuring: will be responsible for terminal operations of the Shanghai Datang Mobile Communications Equipment Co., Ltd. (Shanghai Tang) from Datang Mobile, separated from the direct operation of Datang Telecom Group; Datang Mobile’s military Products are separated from the independent operators; Datang Mobile, TD-SCDMA standard to retain the research and development system, continue to work with Alcatel Shanghai Bell and other manufacturers in the TD-SCDMA equipment to cooperate.

At that time, analysts have pointed out that Shanghai Datang past only with the ADI, terminal manufacturers to provide TD-SCDMA chips. The separation from Datang Mobile Datang Telecom Group will be in the unified plan, direct R & D TD-SCDMA terminals. It is reported that Datang Telecom Group has been strongly advocated this part of Datang Mobile will be excellent assets into Datang Telecom, on the one hand will be fine backdoor listing of assets, on the other hand slowed down the performance of Datang Telecom pressure.

According to this resolution programme, Datang Mobile, the only profitable business by stripping the terminal, leaving TD R & D team will be the future profit center into a cost center, dependent on the Datang Group greatly enhanced. In addition, the original highly concentrated in the Datang Mobile TD industrial chain to have been separated.

This weakening and Resolution of Datang Mobile, the practice has been resisted. Datang Mobile, insiders complained: “to see the news, people feel like picking a peach, is not as good as soon as possible to sell the patent.” This also led to the president of Datang Mobile, such as the Tang’s resignation.

Since then, the official from the Shanghai Datang Mobile Datang Mobile separated, and in April 2008 with the merger of DMT “the core technology”, specializing in end-chip solutions and projects.

Datang Telecom troops again enter the terminal areas which are natural. The industry said that at present, Datang Group’s corporate positioning and relatively clear division of labor: Datang Mobile, TD is responsible for technology research and development, Datang Telecom responsible for the TD and other mobile terminals market operation, Datang Telecom and Shanghai Datang flag The DMT integrated in the core technology responsible for the cell-phone chips and terminal solutions in production and sales.

Such a clear division of work on the development of terminal benefits, but the coordination within the state-owned enterprises will become a problem. Effect of how kind, we can only wait and see.

Coca-Cola has become Uncle Sam’s reputation and Qijian the U.S. national essence, to create that caught worldwide attention Coke empire. 1986, Coca-Cola’s new president after he took office, determined to Change more bitter taste, into a sweet taste of the new Coke.but on for a few hours after the taste, the company has continued to receive consumer complaints and questions, and the voice of the tide against the spread of the country, alerted the U.S. government. In many ways, under pressure from Coca-Cola to resume production of “poor taste” of the old Coke.

Americans really like “poor taste” of the old Coke » This is really let the world wonder is, in fact in the Harvard Business School MBA Guide to the well-known cases, support the views of more directed at Coca-Cola brand manufacturing, and less is because Americans view the tastes strange demand, triggered the opposition Wave.

Has thought about this story is that dominate the desktop PC world, Microsoft empire, is being interpreted the same story. Microsoft’s next-generation operating system WindowsVista listed shortly after the opposition almost continuously against it to find reasons to resist the new system, has purchased pre-installed new computer systems of ordinary consumers, have also uninstall Vista, in exchange for their habit of XP. More Worse, in mid-January this year, the United States InfoWorld IT news website was launched “to save XP”, Microsoft hopes to extend support for XP system, the number of support have reached 200,000 people.

In any case, Vista is a general trend to replace XP, Microsoft’s powerful new system and its huge investment, so it will not bow to the user, the public is in fact the opposition deliberately created by Microsoft, users into his trap, Minglishuangshou Microsoft, Windows at the site continues to expand, more solid position. This is Microsoft and Coca-Cola Shututonggui the successful marketing cases only.
