In 1938, Bell Labs of the beautiful country made the world's first "mobile phone" mobile phone for the military. In April 1973, Motorola engineering technician Martin Cooper invented the world's first mobile phone for civilian use.

The birth of this mobile phone marked the beginning of a new era, and Martin Cooper has since been called the "father of mobile phones" in modern times.

The first generation mobile phone (1G) refers to the analog mobile phone, which is the mobile phone that appeared in Chinese film and television works such as Xiangjiang and Beautiful Country in the 1980s and 1990s.

Mobile Phone entered our country in 1987, and it has undoubtedly become an important tool for accelerating people's information communication and social interaction. When mobile phones first entered the mainland, they had a strange name called "Mobile Phone".

It is said that the mobile phone got the name Big Brother because the movie star Sammo Hung was one of the first people in Hong Kong to own a mobile phone. When he was a director on the set, he never left his mobile phone and often used it to give orders.

Sammo Hung was originally a big brother-level figure in the Hong Kong film industry, and others respectfully called him Big Brother. Photos of him holding a mobile phone often appeared in newspapers, and the Hong Kong media simply called the mobile phone "Big Brother", and it became popular.

The information carried by the three words "Big Brother" was a symbol of identity, status and wealth in that era. The shock brought by Big Brother was not only because of its high price, but also because of its high-tech display.

According to the historical development trajectory, Motorola mobile phones will not be launched on the market until 1983. Martin Cooper is still competing with other project teams, and this is a target that can be won over.

If Bai Zirui wants to expand in the mobile phone industry, he can consider poaching Martin Cooper, but it may not be that easy. So Bai Zirui turns his attention to Martin Cooper's competitor Yul Engel.

Bai Zirui asked the Meiliguo branch to contact Motorola to negotiate copyright and licensing, and asked the Meiliguo headhunting company to invite Yuel Engel, a scientist from Bell Labs, to become the general person in charge of mobile phone research and development of the soon-to-be-established Dingtian Communications Company.

Yuel Engel is Cooper's competitor, and Bell Labs, where he works, is a famous scientific research institution in the world. Bell Labs is a manufacturer of transistors, lasers, solar cells, light-emitting diodes, digital switches, communication satellites, and electronic digital computers.

The birthplace of many major inventions, including cellular mobile communications equipment, long-distance television transmission, simulated language, talking movies, stereo recording, and communications networks.

Bai Zirui appointed Hou Weigui (the founder of ZTE), who was recruited from Meiliguo by a headhunting company, as the general manager of Dingtian Communications Company.

Bai Zirui has gone all out to invite this technology guru, offering him an annual salary of 1 million US dollars, 1% of the profits from R&D results as his commission, and option rewards. The R&D funds will be no less than 20 million US dollars per year. At the same time, he will set up

Engel Laboratory.

Cooper said excitedly with an almost trembling voice: "Yul, I'm talking to you on a real mobile phone, a real mobile phone!"

Maybe Martin Cooper was just a joke, but it brought great changes to Yule Engel's life and work. This talented scientist who previously worked at Bell Labs was gradually marginalized, and the public will only remember him as the third person in the field of science and technology.

one person.

Dingtian Technology Company established five subsidiaries, including Dingtian Game Company, for a total of six subsidiaries. Dingtian Technology Company was upgraded to Dingtian Group, and Bai Zirui served as the chairman of the group and was responsible for the strategic planning of the entire group.

John Chambers was recruited from the Beautiful Country Branch to serve as the group's CEO. John Chambers was born in Charleston, West Virginia, in 1949. He grew up in a harmonious family with his parents.

They are all doctors.

Since 1925, Bell Labs has obtained more than 25,000 patents, with an average of more than three patents per working day. Bell Labs' mission is to create, produce and provide innovative technologies to customers.

On April 3, 1973, Martin Cooper stood on the streets of Manhattan, holding a newly developed cordless phone. Under the curious gaze of everyone around him, he pressed a series of phone numbers.

John Chambers inherited his father's strong interest in business. The elder Chambers (also called John) mainly engaged in business activities in his spare time, while the younger Chambers often did odd jobs in his father's motels and restaurants.

The phone went through, and a man's voice came through: "Hello! This is Yule Engel."

These technologies enable Lucent Technologies to take a leading position in the world in communication systems, products, components and network software. It has won a total of 8 Nobel Prizes (including 7 physics prizes and 1 chemistry prize), making it a leader in communication systems, products, components and network software around the world.

All have an important position.

His mobile phone research and development technical team was also not reused by Bell Labs. Bai Zirui paid this technical team double the current salary. Moreover, it was still led by Yule Engel to develop mobile phones.

Chambers believes that his father was a man who had a deep insight into the future and had a great influence on him. Chambers received a bachelor's degree in law and business from West Virginia University and an MBA in finance and management from Indiana University.

Yule Engel has become an ordinary R&D staff dawdling at Bell Labs. The reason why he did not take the lead in developing mobile phones is because Bell Labs does not support you enough. It is not that his strength and ability are poor. His

There is absolutely no problem with his ability and level, and he is definitely no worse than Martin Cooper.

This was a landmark event, marking the beginning of mobile communications' challenge to wired communications, and also making Martin Cooper's competitor, Juul Engel, a laughing stock.

According to the historical development of his previous life, Chambers worked for three famous companies. In 1976, Chambers, who was thirty years old, came to California to start his own business with three diplomas: a bachelor's degree in business management, a bachelor's degree in law, and an MBA in finance and management.

He chose a consulting firm that represented acquisitions and mergers, but soon he heard a friend introduce that IBM "sells" solutions. Chambers was very interested in the word "solutions" at the time, so he entered "in a daze"

IBM is the world's largest computer company. He worked for IBM for seven years, first working in sales for several years, and also serving as IBM's marketing manager.

In 1983, Chambers entered the second big employer, Wang An Company, and was responsible for sales in Asia. He later became vice president. He worked here for 8 years. In the first 6 and a half years, under the leadership of Dr. Wang An,

They work together very well, and each attaches great importance to the relationship with customers. Wang An himself is also very flexible and can make different plans for different situations, which has benefited Chambers greatly.

However, with Wang An's retirement and his son taking office, the situation has changed a lot. In Chambers' words: "Without clients, various interests cannot be taken care of well."

Although Chambers was promoted to the position of president of the United States region, he had to complete the task of laying off 4,000 people first, which made Chambers extremely painful. He immediately resigned and was unemployed at home for two months until Cisco (Cisco)
