In China during the 1980s and 90s, anyone who set up a street stall and sold clothes, shoes, socks, tea eggs, electronic watches, and other products could make a fortune and become an enviable millionaire.

Shenzhen.

Sun Youqian was a household with ten thousand yuan in income, and he started selling clothes at a street stall in 1985.

As his business grew, he had enough money to rent a 100-square-meter shop for himself.

Despite his thriving career, he couldn't bear to spend money on a Motorola mobile phone.

Sun Youqian worked his way up from the bottom, enduring a lot of hardship. Every penny he earned was hard-earned.

As the saying goes, spend money wisely.

The Motorola handbag phone, costing tens of thousands of yuan, was simply too expensive; he preferred a landline and pager combination.

"Hey, Mr. Sun, you've opened such a big store, why are you still carrying a pager on your belt? Why don't you get a Motorola mobile phone? That would be so cool! People would know you're a big boss just by looking at that!" Sun Youqian's acquaintance said when he saw him.

Upon hearing this, Sun Youqian gave an embarrassed smile and said, "How could I, Sun Youqian, afford a Motorola mobile phone? The two-way pager from Wujiang Group is quite good; I can use it to send text messages to others..."

"Mr. Sun, you're being too modest. Your name already has the word 'rich' in it, yet you say you're not rich. Are all rich people this low-key?"

Sun Youqian couldn't help but chuckle. His father had given him this name. At the time, the family was destitute, and he was born just in time. His father hoped that the child would be "rich" in the future, so he named him "Sun Youqian".

Not long after, Sun Youqian returned to his shop.

At this moment, more than ten customers came into the store and were looking at the clothes.

At this moment, Sun Youqian overheard the conversation of several customers and immediately showed a look of surprise.

"I heard that Shenzhen is about to launch PHS (Personal Handyphone System), so I'm planning to save some money and buy a PHS phone!" A tall, thin middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses and a polyester shirt, who looked like he worked in a government agency, said to his companion.

"Yes, I've heard about that too. I'm also planning to buy a PHS phone. With a PHS phone, I can carry it with me everywhere, making it more convenient whether I'm making calls or being contacted."

"Yes, PHS phones are indeed very useful. The key is that they're several times cheaper than Motorola phones; we can barely afford them if we grit our teeth… Oh, by the way, I heard that PHS phones are incredibly popular in Hong Kong, and countries all over the world are sending people to Wujiang Group to cooperate and introduce PHS technology, including Japan!!!"

As they talked, they couldn't help but feel proud. Wujiang was so awesome, and although they weren't employees of the Wujiang Group, they were still proud to be a part of it!

Haha, aren't the Japanese supposed to be so awesome? They still have to import technology from us Chinese!

Sun Youqian eavesdropped for a while and finally understood what was going on.

It turns out that Shenzhen has partnered with Wujiang Communication Technology to promote PHS (Personal Handyphone System) technology.

Currently, PHS (Personal Handyphone System) base stations are being rapidly built throughout Shenzhen.

Once the base station deployment is complete, the PHS (Personal Handyphone System) service will be launched.

Motorola's bulky brick-like mobile phone costs 30,000 yuan, while Wujiang Communication Technology Company's PHS (Personal Handyphone System) phones are several times cheaper, perhaps only 5,000 or 6,000 yuan.

"Even Hong Kong people are using PHS phones, which shows that PHS phones are really good. Speaking of which, PHS phones are so cheap, and I, Sun Youqian, am a clothing store owner, it's time to buy one..."

Previously, when a friend asked Sun Youqian why he didn't buy a Motorola mobile phone, he pretended to be indifferent, but he was actually still a little resentful.

Sun Youqian then made a special inquiry and learned that the post office was indeed building a PHS (Personal Handyphone System) base station, and that the price of PHS was indeed very cheap. However, PHS could only make calls within Shenzhen at present.

Sun Youqian felt that every loss has its gain, and since the Little Smart Phone was so cheap, it was normal for it to have some defects.

In the days that followed, he eagerly awaited news of the "Boundless Little Smart Phone-1" going on the market.

On October 1st, Shenzhen Post and Telecommunications Bureau launched the "Xiaolingtong Service". "Wujiang Xiaolingtong-1" is available for sale at Wujiang flagship store and post office business hall.

Shenzhen is a special economic zone and a pioneering city of reform and opening up, with far more wealthy people than other cities.

But they weren't very rich; very few people could afford a Motorola mobile phone.

The launch of the "Boundless Little Smart Phone-1" perfectly met their spending power.

As a result, countless citizens in Shenzhen flocked to Wujiang's flagship store and post office business hall to purchase "Wujiang Xiaolingtong-1".

The scale of the event was even greater than that in Hong Kong.

Shenzhen became the first city in mainland China to launch PHS (Personal Handyphone System), followed by major cities such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Beijing.

In no time, Xiaolingtong (a type of mobile phone service) sprang up all over the country like mushrooms after rain.

In less than a month, Wujiang sold 1 million "Wujiang Xiaolingtong-1" units in mainland China alone.

At that time, the "Boundless Little Smart Phone-1" was incredibly popular, and many people across the country were proud to own one.

The man took off the baby shower gel from his waist and replaced it with a "Boundless Little Smart Phone-1".

The woman strung the "Boundless Little Smart Phone-1" together with a pretty rope and hung it around her neck, making it easy for people to see.

Actually, it doesn't matter whether you bring a phone belt, case, or lanyard, as the "Boundless Little Smart Phone-1" is small and exquisite, and can be put directly into your pocket.
