November 1987Wireless Branch of Guangzhou Post Bureau, Guangdong ProvinceThe doorway,For the sake of "mobile phones", there was a long queue.
At the top of the list is a businessman named Xu Feng.
He looked at the salesperson a little nervously, opened a small window, and said:"I heard that your company has a batch of mobile phones, I don't know if you can buy them?”
"Well, this is the new policy, and you came at the right time. ”The salesperson holds up a finger:"We have a lot of ** here, you can pick and choose. ”
When Xu Feng heard this, he was also happy, originally he still wanted to ask for a mobile phone, but now, he didn't want to choose another one.
So, what number did Xu Feng draw in the end?What kind of impact does this ** have on Xu Feng?
Buy China's first mobile**
The world's first mobile** came out in New York in 1973, and in 1983, a "$3999" mobile** went on sale!
You must know that in those days, the monthly salary of a worker in China was only more than 40 yuan, even if it was the current dollar, it was sky-high, and ordinary people might not be able to save one in four or five years.
In 1983, the first paging station in Shanghai, China, was put into operation, beginning the era of Big Brother and pagers.
In the 80s, pagers cost thousands of yuan, and the ** of "Big Brother" was as high as 20,000, but even so, it was difficult to buy.
If you can hang your mobile phone on your waist, it will be respected when you go to the **.
However, as the first person to buy a mobile phone in the mainland, his purpose is not to increase his value, but to his own career.
After the reform and opening up, because the "two Guangzhou" were in the forefront of the national economic development, Xu Feng came to Guangzhou from his hometown in his early 20s, wanting to find a way to make a fortune.
But at that time, the whole industry was filled, and Xu Feng didn't know what to do.
Until one day, he suddenly realized that although there are many rich people in Guangzhou, they also have to spend money, and they can't make money like ordinary people, so let's make money from them.
So he chose the catering industry of daily necessities and planned to open a high-end seafood restaurant.
Xu Feng's seafood shop is the territory of "Nanhai Fishing Village", and his biggest headache now is how to get his hands on the newly caught seafood.
Because it is the freshest and most high-end, the daily ** amount is limited, and even some big bosses even deliberately ordered some.
However, because the two of them were not in the same place, Xu Feng got in touch with the people in the fishing village, and it took most of the day.
Sometimes, before the seafood ordered by the customer has time to order, Xu Feng has a special headache.
He thought to himself, the telegram has been available for a long time, but it would be nice to have a ** that can be dialed out at any time. (The phone already has it.)
I don't know if it's a coincidence, a friend of the post and telecommunications office told him that after the "Sixth Games" in Guangdong, there will be a batch of mobile phones on the marketHowever, the price of this mobile phone is relatively high, costing 20,000 yuan.
Xu Feng is not worried that the ** is too high, but that he is worried that he will not be able to buy it.
As soon as the mobile phone came out, China's scalpers** rose from tens of thousands to tens of thousands, and the most expensive reached 60,000.
This thing doesn't have a long battery life, it only works for forty minutes at most, and the signal is very poor, and it can only be used where there are cell towers.
On November 21, 1987, Xu Feng waited outside the door, took out a check for 20,000 yuan, and bought his first **.
The salesperson asked Xu Feng to choose a ** by himself, and his ** number at this time was "province + city" + * number.
Since this is the first production, the number is 01-99, and the number in Guangdong is 9010.
Xu Feng directly chose the number "88", because this number is similar to the word "hair".
Xu Feng spent more than 20,000 yuan to buy this mobile phone.
Now most people can't afford to buy a mobile phone, not to mention 12,000, the installation fee alone has to be 6,000, and the mobile phone is 150 per month.
The reason why Xu Feng was able to buy this phone was because they didn't have the money, and secondly, because they didn't pay enough attention to this phone, if they sold it at the beginning, it would definitely sell quickly.
At that time, Guangdong could pay tens of thousands of yuan, hundreds of thousands of yuan, and millions of yuan.
Xu Feng is such a person, he must seize this opportunity.
With this mobile phone, Xu Feng felt that everything was so smooth, and his career was thriving, becoming the earliest owner of the catering industry in New China, and even appeared on CCTV.
When Xu Feng saw people, he said: "It's all because of my mobile phone that I have such a good number." ”
This mobile phone has accompanied him for more than ten years, although in 2001 the mobile phone was eliminated, China entered the era of PHS, but Xu Feng did not give up the "love general" who has accompanied him for many years.
China is rapidly entering the era of 3G, 4G, 5G, and the progress of communication technology has witnessed China's growth.
And those mobile phones that have been eliminated are the best proof of this.
