The first person in China to apply for a mobile phone number is faced with many number choices
Nowadays, in this era of such convenient information and ubiquitous means of transportation, have you ever thought about the mobile phone number in front of your screen?
Let's not mention the mobile phone number for the time being, let's talk about the QQ number that we are more familiar with.
Dating back to the decade of the last century, people still wear super"Funky"'s Ma Tianyu outfit, wearing bright lipstick, perming all kinds of bright and extravagant hair, and showing all kinds of youth on QQ"Middle-aged"'s personal signature....
At that time, people often saw rumors in the group about the first person to have a QQ number, and rushed to add him"The Chosen One"。
The first QQ number we all know is, of course, that of QQ founder Jack Ma, which is self-evident.
Do you know the past and present life of the first mobile number? Who was the first person to have a mobile number?
Today, I want to tell you about the first person who asked for a mobile phone number, his name is Xu Feng.
Unlike most mobile phone numbers that start with 1 and have eleven digits, mobile numbers at the time only had six digits.
Xu Feng is from Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China, and had to add it to his mobile phone number at the time"9010", which is the area code for the city of Guangzhou, and then choose one of the remaining two digits between 0-99.
Xu Feng finally chose"88 "This number, so our first mobile number is"901088"。
So, why did Xu Feng choose this mobile phone number, and how did Xu Feng get the choice of this mobile phone number, and even luckily became the first person to have a mobile phone number?
The first mobile number was issued in 1987, when touchscreen phones were not so advanced.
At that time, the screen of the mobile phone was very small, and even the keys to enter the ** number were retained.
So, in 1987, the then mobile** was called"Big brother"。
Big Brother is from New York, USA, and is produced by a company called Motorola.
At that time,"Big brother"It's scarce, so it's expensive. a"Big brother"It can be sold for $4000, which is about 8000 yuan.
At the time, this could have been very expensive; After all, in China, most people only receive 100 yuan a month, or even less.
Although"Big Brother"It represented the most cutting-edge communication technology of the time, but for most people it was more expensive than a television set, a symbol of status and wealth.
If you come across one on the road that has"Big brother"of people are far more surprised than if you come across a multi-million dollar sports car on the road.
And Xu Feng is such a person.
If we search for Xu Feng on the Internet, we can only see some introductions, namely the chairman of Guangdong Zhonghai Group.
In 1987, one was purchased"Big brother"of ** between $10,000 and $20,000.
In the first decade of the last century, it was almost unheard"Millionaire"、"Multimillionaire"、"Billionaires"With such a word, you can proudly say that you are with 10,000 yuan"Millionaire"。"Millionaire"to win the crowd.
At that time, it was 10,000 yuan"Small family", life is very happy, even"Affluent", and Xu Feng managed to get two about 10,000 yuan to buy this"Big brother"！"He?
After China's reform and opening up in 1978, when both economies shone in China, Xu Feng, who was in his 20s, decided to leave his hometown and venture into Guangzhou, intending to carve out his own world.
After some exploration and research, Xu Feng plans to open one"Fresh seafood"Themed restaurant.
Nowadays, fresh seafood is commonplace, after all, the country is very cheap.
But in the past, it was not easy to communicate properly with fishermen and deliver seafood to the designated place on time.
Xu Feng's shop name is"Nanhai fishing village", main"Top quality fresh seafood"。
In order to do it"Fresh", Xu Feng racked his brains. Sometimes, when he struggled to communicate with the fishermen, the seafood delivered was dead and had no even taste.
What's more, the fishermen are very scattered and inaccessible. a"Fresh"The words made Xu Feng full of emotion.
I also considered telegraph communication, but it failed.
But fortunately, Xu Feng has a friend in the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. Xu Feng learned from a friend that after the end of the 6th National Games in Guangdong, a batch of ** planes will be shipped to Guangzhou.
But ** is not affordable, about $20 000.
This made Xu Feng smile, no matter what the price, he had to take this mobile phone.
On November 21, 1987, in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, there was a long queue at the entrance of the Wireless Communication Department of the Guangzhou Municipal Post and Telecommunications Bureau.
You are the first to receive your mobile number, and you can choose one** from 0 to 99 as the last two digits of your mobile number. Said the post office worker.
After careful consideration, Xu Feng finally chose not 01, but chose two 8s as his own numbers.
Xu Feng bought the phone with a check for 20,000 yuan, which he had to pay 1The purchase fee of 20,000 yuan, the initial installation fee of about 6,000 yuan and the monthly rental fee of 150 yuan.
But for Xu Feng, it's really worth the money.
The number chosen by Xu Feng is also very in line with his identity and habits.
As a businessman,"8 "Meaning"Hair", nature also represents good luck.
It's not just a good wish to get rich. This mobile phone and mobile phone number also made Xu Feng's business flourish.
Previously, Xu Feng's merchants were usually hundreds of kilometers away, even in Hainan Province.
But with the convenience of mobile phones, Xu Feng's seafood is always fresh. This is due to the fact that he always communicates with the supplier at the first time, and is equipped with a series of problems such as loading, transportation, and delivery in advance.
With just one, you can easily buy the freshest produce, no matter how many hundred kilometers away you are.
Xu Feng seafood restaurant"Big brother"The advent of the Advent quickly passed the bottleneck period.
Xu Feng said"Big brother"is the smartest and most advanced"Investments"。
Compared to the race against time,"Big brother"Help Xu Feng always get the first **, and also let Xu Feng's funds accumulate quickly.
Soon, Xu Feng became famous in Guangzhou, and his fresh seafood restaurant became more and more popular, winning the support of many new and old customers.
There it is"Big brother"His fishing boat business is one of the best even in Guangdong, and in many restaurants that have closed, Xu Feng's fishing boats are high.
And Xu Feng's success is not only due to his mobile phone, but also to his courage and wisdom.
At that time, in addition to Xu Feng, there were many more"Below the iceberg"、"100,000 yuan family"、"Million-dollar family", they took advantage of the dividends of the times with a brave mind.
Xu Feng may not have had an astonishing fortune, but his choice of buying a mobile phone in that era was different.
In those days, it took ten years without food or drink to save a mobile phone and other expenses.
Aside from the issue of money, most people think that there is nothing to buy for this phone.
The call will be cut off after 40 minutes and will need to be recharged frequently; In addition, it is impossible to find sites with good signals; On the other hand, you must be at the top of the cell tower to make a call
The average person is always risk-averse, but ignores one of the greatest benefits of risk: communication.
Nowadays, mobile phone brands are becoming more and more diverse, and Apple phones are known for their iOS system, which has excellent ease of use, smoothness, and low latency rates.
Huawei, on the other hand, has a smooth HarmonyOS operating system and a unique Kirin chip.
Vivo's fast charging system provides users with a great gaming experience.
OPPO attracts many young people to take pictures with its unique appearance...
Mobile phones are no longer limited to black bricks"Big brother", but in a more diverse way.

Just like Xu Feng, he put"Big brother"The convenience it brings is seen as a means of communication that can boost its seafood business.
He took all the risks just to experience the unique convenience of his phone up close.

In this age of electronic information, communication has become simple and easy, and we have more opportunities to try to change the status quo.
Today, Xu Feng's fisherman's shop"Nanhai fishing village"It has become the first in Guangdong Province"National Platinum Five-Diamond Restaurant", the first batch in Guangdong Province"Guangzhou Food Hygiene A-level Unit"。
In today's words, Xu Feng and his fishing village in the South China Sea are actually riding the east wind of the times, and the reform and opening up and the popularization of electronic information will take them to keep pace with the times.
