Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Chapter 574: The first mobile phone in China is launched

After the Tianqiong mobile phone was launched in Hong Kong, Wang Jianjun immediately began preparing to launch this phone in the mainland.

In this era, not only were there no mobile phones, but even landline phones were not available everywhere, and long-distance calls were even more difficult to make. Sometimes, the connection between people depended entirely on fate.

At that time, the only mobile communication device available for use in inland areas was the pager.

The function is only to transmit text information.

Many people will wrap it in a leather case and hang it in the most conspicuous place around their waist after buying it.

In Wang Jianjun's opinion, this thing's function of showing off wealth far outweighs its practical value.

Wang Jianjun had seen this thing at his relative's house when he was a child.

At that time, pagers had just become popular and were still considered a luxury item.

This thing was also brought over from the Americans. It is very expensive in this era, costing about a thousand dollars each.

For the first batch of Tianqiong mobile phones sold in the country, Wang Jianjun prepared one thousand units for trial sales.

Inland he set the price at ten thousand.

Although this price is a bit outrageous in this era, when mobile phones first came to China, the price was even higher than this.

And those who buy it are also rich people or big bosses.

Wang Jianjun had no hesitation in collecting the money from those people.

People of this era are more receptive to new things, of course, this is only limited to rich people.

Because the telephones in Hong Kong were put on the shelves several months earlier than in the mainland.

Many Hong Kong bosses who come to the mainland to do business basically have a mobile phone in their hands.

The Hong Kong people who were talking on their mobile phones immediately attracted the attention of people from the mainland.

After knowing the function of mobile phones, everyone was amazed.

They had seen telephones before, but this was the first time they had seen a mobile phone.

Although they are all used for making phone calls.

But in their inherent impression, the phone should be fixed at home.

They never imagined that I could walk and talk on the phone at the same time.

After seeing the convenience of mobile phones, many business people asked Hong Kong bosses where they could buy mobile phones.

Although I was a little discouraged after hearing the price.

But there are really rich people there who want to buy it.

Therefore, Wang Jianjun’s Tianqiong product has become popular among a small audience before it was sold in the mainland.

However, the launch of this first batch of mobile phones was not so smooth.

At that time, China didn't even have 1G network technology.

It was Wang Jianjun who sent a group of engineers to China to assist the telephone company in opening the first analog cellular mobile phone system.

With this system, the first generation of Skydome mobile phones can be used inland.

The first batch of mobile phones sent to the inland for sale consisted of 100 units.

They are consigned to the telephone bureaus in Shanghai and the northern part of Guangdong Province.

Originally, the people at the telephone company were wondering whether this phone would be hard to sell because it was so expensive.

But what surprised them was.

The first week that the phone was released, all 100 units were sold out.

Seeing such good sales, the people at the telephone company immediately contacted Wang Jianjun and asked him to send another batch of phones.

Wang Jianjun had to admire the wealthy people in China in this era.

It’s only been a few years since the reform and opening up, and people can buy mobile phones worth tens of thousands of dollars at will.

But he didn't care about the sales of mobile phones at the moment.

At this time, Wang Jianjun had already come to his private hospital to accompany Shen Maiqiu.

Because Shen Maiqiu's due date has arrived.

One month before the due date, Ding Qiunan had Shen Maiqiu admitted to the hospital for observation because she was worried.

Shen Maiqiu is also very concerned about this old man.

So she just did whatever Ding Qiunan arranged.

Wang Jianjun was very curious whether the baby was a boy or a girl.

However, Shen Maiqiu refused to let him check as before.

He just let it go.

However, some time ago, Shen Maiqiu suddenly liked to eat sour food for unknown reasons, which made him feel anxious.

As the old saying goes, sour boys make spicy girls.

Although there is no scientific basis.

But if it was another son, he would probably be depressed for a long time.

Shen Maiqiu said that she didn't want to have another child after this one.

Shen Chuxia also had no intention of having more children.

So Wang Jianjun's daughter Meng can only have this one baby.

A few days before her due date, Shen Maiqiu suddenly felt a little sore in her waist.

Being experienced, she directly called Ding Qiunan.

As expected, Shen Maiqiu gave birth not long after she entered.

When Ding Qiunan came out with the child in her arms, Wang Jianjun immediately approached and asked:

"Boy or girl?!"

"Congratulations, Jianjun. It's finally a girl this time."

After hearing that it was a daughter, Wang Jianjun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank you Qiu Nan for your help."

"You're welcome, but your wife is amazing. Those twenty-year-old girls didn't give birth as smoothly as your wife. I'll go in and help your wife change her clothes, and you can hold your daughter yourself."

As Ding Qiunan spoke, she handed the little girl in her arms to Wang Jianjun.

Wang Jianjun carefully picked up his daughter and looked at it carefully.

Although the little girl was still a little edematous when she was born, her facial features looked very beautiful.

And she looks like her mother.

Wang Jianjun's heart melted when he saw that little look.

The little girl opened her eyes and looked around as soon as she was born.

Probably because he was hungry, he started crying after watching for a while.

Wang Jianjun hurriedly carried his daughter in to find her mother.

I guess he felt his mother was around.

The little girl stopped crying as soon as Shen Maiqiu hugged her.

Shen Maiqiu looked at the child with a smile while feeding him.

This child can be considered as her late-born daughter.

Besides, she is a daughter, so she treasures her very much.

"What should I do, Brother Jianjun? When I look at her now and think about it, I'm afraid I won't want her to get married in the future."

Wang Jianjun laughed and said:

"It depends on what she thinks in the future. If she doesn't want to get married, then she shouldn't. I don't think anyone would be a good match for our daughter. I don't even want a live-in son-in-law."

Wang Jianjun is open-minded about his children's marriage.

He doesn't care about the family background of the partner they will find in the future. What matters is the other person's character and personality.

Now he can say that when he looks for a daughter-in-law or son-in-law, he doesn’t care whether the other person is rich or not, because no matter how rich they are, they are not as rich as him anyway.

After the little girl finished drinking her milk, the two of them teased her for a while and then she fell asleep.

Wang Jianjun started discussing his daughter's name with his wife again.

Although he had thought of several names before, Wang Jianjun rejected those names when he saw his daughter.

After discussing for a long time, the two finally decided to name their youngest daughter Wang Qingluo.

Qing symbolizes purity and transparency.

Luo is derived from "Yingluo", the name of an ancient jade ornament, implying its preciousness and extraordinaryness.

Since then, Wang Jianjun has had both a son and a daughter.

After Shen Maiqiu stayed in the hospital for a few days, Lou Xiao'e, who heard the news, rushed to see her.

There was also a little girl of about four or five years old coming with her.

That was Lou Xiao'e's second child, Zhao Xueheng.

Encouraged by the Shen Chuxia sisters, Lou Xiao'e finally couldn't help but try for a second child at the age of over 40.

It’s just that Lou Xiao’e had better pregnancy luck and both of her babies were daughters.
