The future development of mobile phone history

In-depth and good writing, comprehensive and detailed

This 7-up is not a 7-up selling soda.

Seven Up selling soda, English name is 7up. In the 1980s, 7-up and Coca-Cola were competitors. Later, Pepsi, Coca-Cola's old rival, bought all the sales rights outside the United States.

The 7-up mobile phone sounds very young, but it was made earlier than Xiaomi and Meizu, but it has not lived to the present and has become one of many people missed by netizens.

The founder of 7-up mobile phone is Yi. 1959 was born in Haokou Town, Qianjiang City, Hubei Province, and graduated from Yu Hao High School. 1978 was admitted to radio major of South China University of Technology. After graduation, he was assigned to a state-owned enterprise in Baiyun Mountain, Guangzhou, to work in electronic technology.

Yi has worked in a state-owned enterprise for nearly ten years and his wife is a colleague. In the early 1990s, the combined salary of husband and wife was less than that of 700 yuan. Easy to start a business is not attracted by the tide of business, but forced by life.

199 1 At the beginning of the year, Yi's daughter suffered from brain diseases, and the treatment needed a lot of money. The reimbursement procedure of state-owned enterprises is very complicated. He found it hard to count on. He was hurt by others' self-esteem. Yi decided to do business to make money, and his goal was to earn 1 10,000 yuan a year.

1991July 6, 2006 16, it was easy to start a business, just as the south building around Jiang Yan Road in Guangzhou was closed for renovation, and energy-saving electronic ballasts were needed. Yi, who graduated from science and engineering, smelled the opportunity. Others quoted 30 yuan, and he quoted 27 yuan, and successfully received 500 orders from the South Building.

In order to collect more than 5000 yuan of means of production, it is easy to find a boss who sells electronic raw materials in Xiaolan Town, Zhongshan City, and ask him to give him credit and guarantee repayment in three days.

Yi Zhongxian works in his one-bedroom and one-bedroom home with raw materials. Two people completed the production of 500 electronic ballasts overnight, delivered them to the South Building on schedule, and successfully got the money back. In this line of work, Yi earned 8,000 yuan in three days, nearly a year's salary.

After knowing Yi, the leader of the former unit invited him to come back and bring the enterprise back to turn losses into wins, but many times the state-owned enterprises have nothing to do with his ability. Yi worked hard to endure a serious illness before he realized the complexity of state-owned enterprises and made up his mind to leave.

Yi, who went to sea again, has a large electronic ballast factory in Panyu, Guangzhou. On the other hand, he began to be the agent of foreign IT brands, and it became bigger and bigger.

1August, 997, Yi founded 7-up Computer Co., Ltd. in Guangzhou and launched the "7-up" computer, which means happy every day. The early 7-up computer was an accessory supplier, agent, seller and manufacturer.

In 2000, Qixi invested 500 million yuan to build a production base and research building in Guangzhou, and began to produce its own "Buffalo" chassis and power supply. Accessories can not only be used for personal use, but also be sold in DIY market. 7-up computer is the only desktop computer designated by the Ninth National Games.

In 2004, Qixi set up a digital department and began to invest in MP3.

In 2005, Southern Hi-Tech Company, which made mobile phones, was on the verge of difficulties. Qixi began to cooperate with Southern Hi-Tech on OEM, and plans to launch mobile phones. In addition to borrowing the license of Southern Hi-Tech, we also received some R&D teams from Southern Hi-Tech.

Looking back at this point in time, the situation of other domestic mobile phone manufacturers, such as Bird, TCL, Amoi and so on. In a crushing defeat, zhongkejian and southern hi-tech are in a difficult situation. Home appliance brands such as Lenovo, TCL, Haier and BenQ have already obtained mobile phone tickets, and IT manufacturers in Taiwan Province Province such as ASUS and Kunda are also actively applying.

Southern Hi-Tech is also a state-owned enterprise that started to make mobile phones very early, with a good technical background. You can read the development history of domestic mobile phones in detail (3) Southern Hi-Tech mobile phones.

In August, 2006, Qixi, Gaoxinqi and Youlitong got the mobile phone production license issued by the state. Like many mobile phone manufacturers, the first thing to get a license is to let the public know first. Yi announced that 7-up will join the mobile phone melee. After the melee, it is estimated that there is about 10 left. I hope 7-up can be among them.

In June 2006, Qixi's first music mobile phone H777 went on the market, using an old 2.5mm headphone jack.

June 5438+October 2008 10, a man named Gao Bin took over as the general manager of Qixi mobile phone division. Everyone doesn't know Gao Bin, but his owner and leader is Wan Jianming, a famous mobile phone madman. During Wan Jianming's tenure in Changhong, Gao Bin was his deputy, assistant to President Guo Hong and assistant to General Manager of TCL Mobile Phone.

In August 2009, Qixi founded the high-end brand REVO in Italy. REVO is positioned as a city brand and HEDY is a township brand.

In September, 20 1 1, 7-up H70 1 went on sale, a 2G mobile phone. Some people wonder if it is like HTC's desire for S, but even the desktop wallpaper and layout are the same.

20 12 On March 9, Qixi Holdings issued a clarification announcement: H70 1 mobile phone is a product independently developed by the company with completely independent intellectual property rights, and has not copied or infringed the intellectual property rights of any other company.

September 20 13, 7-up Q7 was released, and MT6589 processor was the last mobile phone of 7-up. After Q7, Qixi announced that it would no longer set foot in the mobile phone business.

In 20 13 years, Qixi Holdings lost1230,000 yuan, down 1608% year-on-year. You are not mistaken, and I am not mistaken. In desperation, Qixi knew that the debt subsidiary was being sold continuously, and the data on the report gradually became beautiful.

For the shareholders of Qixi, after divesting and transferring assets, seemingly clean shell resources, whether sold or re-injected into asset restructuring, are very ideal. In 20 16, Qixi Holdings was renamed Focus Media.

The 7-up mobile phone business is slowly disappearing, but the 7-up group is different from many mobile phone companies. Mobile phone business is just one of many businesses. After the mobile phone business stopped, the founder and his 7-up family operated in a vast capital world, and finally the business grew bigger and bigger, involving medicine, medical equipment, hospitals, nursing homes, real estate, real estate, computers, servers and so on. As for the operation process, it does not belong to the category of our mobile phone history, so I won't go into details.

Most of the data comes from the Internet.
