"Europe's best communication experts have been massacred, and the future of pan-European mobile communication networks is worrying!" - The Times

"The second-generation mobile communication technology of American ota communication company is about to come out, and mankind will usher in the era of global mobile communication" - The New York Times

...

Just a week after the murders, the offices of the GSM group in Toulouse were temporarily closed. At the same time, Ota Communications also joined hands with AT&T to announce that they will launch a commercial test of the second-generation mobile communication system developed by Ota Communications. Suddenly shocked the entire telecommunications industry.

Some companies are full of expectations for the next-generation mobile communication technology of ota communication, while some companies are worried about it. But Eva knows very well in her heart that Ota's next-generation mobile communication technology is still far from real large-scale commercial applications.

So far, otacom has only completed standard design and breakthroughs in some key technologies for the second generation of mobile communications. However, because these technologies involve too much content, it is simply a dream to eat the entire industry relying on ota's own strength. So Seryozha persuaded Eva to let go of some fields to other companies to use their fists. It is enough for ota to hold the most profitable part in its hands.

In fact, this is not to blame for Eva, the current American business community is very obsessed with large companies in the entire industry. Taking the famous General Electric as an example, they produce everything from aircraft engines and nuclear power equipment to hair dryers for women and hair removers. Ota Communication obviously cannot follow this path of development.

So this time, ota communication has opened up the barriers to entry in many fields. For example, authorize the data transmission standard of the second-generation mobile technology to Motorola and other communication equipment manufacturers, and jointly develop communication chip modules with Texas Instruments and other companies. Ota Communications does not intend to produce these products by itself, as long as someone is willing to pay patent fees, then Ota Communications will allow him to enter this new industry with broad prospects. Eva intends to rely on an open strategy to bind more companies and industries to ota's second-generation mobile communication technology.

Due to her busy business affairs, Eva had to bid farewell to Seryozha and flew to the United States to deal with work matters. And Tonya is busy opening up new trade routes for Seryozha.

With Mikhail successfully gaining a foothold in Japan, Seryozha intends to extend the tentacles of the Mediterranean Trading Company to Japan. Because it is now the center of the world's manufacturing industry.

With the rapid economic development, Japan's demand and desire for bulk commodities is obvious. Whether it is oil, electrolytic aluminum, or other industrial raw materials, they can be bought at a good price in Japan. Tonya calculated an account for Sergesha. If a ship of oil was transported to Japan, some Japanese cars, electromechanical, and electronic products could be transported on the return voyage. Every time a ship comes and goes, there is a lot of profit. And if it is an American grain ship, it can only carry a small amount of resource products when leaving the Soviet Union, which is not cost-effective.

Most of the oil tankers and other cargo ships in Seryozha's hands are Suez-class ships (the upper limit of the ship type is based on the navigable conditions of the Suez Canal, and the deadweight tonnage is between 120,000 and 200,000 tons), and there are also some handy types that operate in various ports along the Mediterranean Sea Freighters (40,000 to 50,000 tons) can be said to basically have the foundation to carry out business in Asia and Europe.

Tonya has just taken over the business of the shipping company, and Seryozha happens to be free during this time,

Naturally, she will also help her make suggestions.

"Husband, I heard that it's not safe to travel to Asia! I heard that there are countless pirates in Southeast Asia alone!" Tonya obviously did her homework and knew some problems.

Seryozha nodded in agreement, thought for a while, and then said: "It seems that I have to recruit some armed men and ships for you!"

However, Xie Liaosha felt that this matter was not easy to handle. The current freighter is different from the past. A ship only needs dozens of crew members to get it done. In terms of numbers, it is not an opponent of pirates. And if the gunshots caused a bloody conflict during the hijacking by the pirates, it would probably lead to an even bigger tragedy. The pirates are very likely to slaughter all the crew members in order to vent their anger, and even only deal with the cargo ships of the Mediterranean Shipping Company in the future. If this is the case, the loss outweighs the gain.

So Seryozha overturned the idea just now, and he said to Tonya: "It is better not to equip armed personnel. Guns are too sensitive, and most countries are very strict. I think we will buy them for every ship. Get a big insurance! If something goes wrong, let the insurance company handle it!"

Seryozha and Tonya were seriously planning, when Karim came into the room with a tray.

"It's afternoon tea time! Come and taste the dessert I made!" Kalim said expectantly.

Seryozha immediately stopped discussing with Tonya and went over to the sofa. Tonya helped Karim arrange the tea sets, and Karim said to Tonya: "Today is much better than yesterday, at least it won't be overcooked!"

Karim offered a piece of cake to Seryozha, and Seryozha took the fork and cut off a piece and put it in his mouth. Rich and sweet creamy taste stimulates the taste buds. The sweetness is just right, and the most important thing is that the mouth is full of creamy and mellow taste. One bite, the soft cake has no resistance to the invasion of the teeth. The cake is divided into upper and lower layers, with a layer of strawberry jam in the middle. The strawberry jam is not particularly sweet, but slightly sour. It stimulated Seryozha's appetite even more. After chewing a few times, the cake in the mouth seemed to melt and disappeared in the mouth.

Seryozha put down the cake and raised the teacup. Before entering the mouth, I could smell the fragrance of tea. Karim prepared black tea today. After the entrance of warm black tea, there is a unique thick feeling of black tea. I had a long discussion with Tonya just now, and now I have a sip of black tea, and my dry mouth is moisturized. Swallowing it in one gulp, the warm feeling goes from the throat to the stomach, which is indescribably comfortable.

Dongnia added milk and sugar to the tea leaves, and after stirring them thoroughly, it changed into a completely different taste.

"This is the best cake I've ever eaten!" Seryozha praised. In fact, Seryozha doesn't like particularly sweet things, but Europeans just like to make things so sweet that they don't pay for their lives. Even those famous restaurants are not exempt, and Seryozha thinks that Karim's craftsmanship is actually just right for him.
