Chapter 957: Big Brother
When most of the 88 years passed, Li Zhongxin only felt that one thing satisfied him, that is, when he was in the middle of 88, he officially used the mobile phone Big Brother.
After using this kind of thing, although Li Zhongxin feels that it is not as comfortable as the smartphones of later generations, it is quite heavy, but this big brother can come in handy, when he goes out or where he goes, if he wants to call and say something, he can directly use Big Brother to call.
Although the senior management of the company already owned pagers, the pagers could only receive phone numbers, and they did not know what was going on with the call.
At this time, magnetic card telephones were not yet widespread in China, and if you wanted to call back, if you were not in the office but on the street, you would have to look for a long time to find a public phone booth or a grocery store to call.
The situation at that time was very interesting, many times, the pager received the phone number, and if you want to call back, it even takes ten minutes or even more than half an hour, and you find the public phone here, line up the number, and when you call back, the person who paged is gone.
In Li Zhongxin's eyes, this is a great delay in things, the Northeast has just opened the analog telephone business, Li Zhongxin will be the big brother over there, and directly let the senior management of Zhongxin Company become the first batch of people to use the big brother.
What about this! It is a benefit that Li Zhongxin gave to the senior management of Zhongxin Company, and it can also be said that he put a small splint on them, as long as he has something in the future, he will call them and arrange what they are going to do.
Li Zhongxin is confident that after the senior management of Zhongxin Company uses such a thing, the efficiency will be much faster than usual, and as for the telephone bill, Li Zhongxin really does not have any care, as long as it is the senior management of Zhongxin Company who can be equipped with a big brother's mobile phone, all the telephone bills will be paid by Zhongxin Company.
Li Zhongxin was not satisfied with the phone in his hand at this time, because he knew that in 1987, Nokia launched the Mobira Cityman NMT900, which was the first handheld mobile phone for the Nordic mobile phone network, compared with the previous Nokia products, the Mobira Cityman NMT900 was significantly smaller, only 800g in weight.
And the Motorola mobile phone he is holding in his hand now, he always feels heavy and uncomfortable, under normal circumstances, in later generations, Li Zhongxin has been Nokia's mobile phone since he used his mobile phone, and he has a soft spot for Nokia, and what about this life! He and Yoma Olilah jointly set up a factory to produce mobile phones, and now he always feels uncomfortable with Motorola's mobile phones, what about this! In fact, it is also a very normal thing.
I'm doing a mobile phone factory here! I used a mobile phone made by other mobile phone factories, and I felt like I was slapped in the face.
But what! In this matter, Li Zhongxin really has no choice, who let the analog signal laid on the Chinese side only suitable for Motorola!
Li Zhongxin has heard from the engineers who built factories in Hei Province from Yoma Ollilah that in '87, Gorbacho, the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, made a phone call from Helsinki to Moscow last year with the "Mobira Cityman NMT900", and the Mobira Cityman 900 has become a landmark world-class product.
That's it! At this time, the Mobira Cityman NMT900 is temporarily unusable on the Chinese side, and the Chinese side only supports Motorola's big brother.
The main thing is that the Mobira Cityman NMT900 was developed for the Nordic network, which is not compatible with the Chinese side.
According to Yoma Ollilah, the mobile phones produced by the mobile phone factories invested and built in China are in line with the Chinese network, and it will take at least half a year or a year for Li Zhongxin to use the mobile phones produced by his own family.
Li Zhongxin bought more than a dozen analog mobile phones at this time, the price of each was 26,000 yuan, and the network access fee was 6,000 yuan.
A brick-sized thing costs 26,000 yuan, just to make a phone call, and this kind of thing is a loser no matter how you look at it.
Call with Big Brother! For more than a dollar a minute, a casual phone call can even cost a few yuan or dozens of yuan.
However, Li Zhongxin didn't care, after all, Zhongxin Company is rich now, not to mention spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy communication equipment, or spending millions to buy communication equipment, Li Zhongxin will not feel distressed, and the telephone bill is even more drizzle for Li Zhongxin.
Who can afford to use Big Brother, who cares about those few dollars in phone bills.
Motorola did not expect that after Big Brother became popular in Hong Kong, China, such a thing as Big Brother would soon be favored by some people in the mainland who got rich first.
Due to the large size of Big Brother, most of the people who use it are big brother-level figures in the business world, and they quickly become a symbol of prominent status.
At that time, people had little concept of private cars, and they rarely envied them. At that time, when you drove a BMW car out, others thought it was a public car, which was far less dazzling than Big Brother. Soon people were proud of owning Big Brother and began a kind of ostentatious and comparative consumption.
Extroverts will hold Big Brother in their hands all day long, eat and drink tea to negotiate, and put it on the table, just like betting on a rich chip and scepter, and immediately the Big Brother Conference will gain more respect, and business negotiations will become easier.
People with restrained personalities will put Big Brother in a polished boss bag, and the boss bag is tucked under the armpit. When appropriate, take it out, pull out a long antenna, spend more than a dollar for a minute, and shout in the crowd: "Hey! Feed! I can't hear clearly, you say it again. It attracted countless admiring eyes.
People in the eighties were very simple and never hid their admiration for others. Many people have quickly opened up their social circles because of Big Brother. For a time, combing his back hair, smearing hairspray, and holding Big Brother have become the ideal image of a rich man for many people.
At that time, people would never have imagined that today, more than 20 years later, even street scavengers will have a small and delicate mobile phone in their hands.
Although the clumsy Big Brother and its long antenna have been frozen in the long scroll of history, those interesting scenes are still worth savoring repeatedly. Because the big brother who was born out of thin air has led the life of Chinese to a new realm.
In Li Zhongxin's eyes, the status or something, now it is a floating cloud, there is no value and significance, he bought something like Big Brother just for convenience, so that he can find someone when there is something.
