Chapter 512: Finding the Father of Mobile Phones

On this day, Shuichi Minamino sat quietly alone in an upscale café on the streets of New York. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Slender fingers held the spoon and gently stirred the cup of hot coffee.

He was waiting for two people, one of them was the headhunter of the headhunting company, and the other was the person he was looking for.

"Mr. Minamino, you've been waiting for a long time, but I've finally brought someone here. At this time, Steven of the headhunting company came to Minamino Shuichi with a man about 30 years old with a big nose.

"This is Mr. Minamino, well, this is Mr. Martin Coopa you are looking for. Steven introduced the two of them to each other.

"Hello. Martin Coopa looked a little reserved, but he held out his hand.

"Hello, please be seated. Shuichi Minamino symbolically shook Martin Coopa's hand.

However, Steven did not sit down, but said very politely: "Mr. Minamino, my mission is complete, if there is nothing to do, then I will leave first." ”

"Well, I'll transfer the rest of the money to your account. Instead of looking at Steve, Shuichi Minamino had his eyes on Martin Cooper.

"Okay, goodbye Mr. Minamino. ”

There were only two people left in the seats.

Martin Coopa is not very tall, he looks a bit like Santa Claus, especially since he has a large nose and is very red. He now looks to be about 30 years old.

Martin Coopa was embarrassed by Shuichi Minamino looking at him like this.

In fact, he was a little hesitant at first when they met, but he finally thought about it and decided to come over. Just yesterday, he was approached by Steven of a headhunter. The other party said that there was an old boss who wanted to see him.

To be honest, as a researcher at Motorola, he was still a little stunned when he was suddenly invited by a big boss. He didn't know what this big boss was going to do when he met with him. He doesn't seem to know any big bosses, does he?

But when Steve said the word mobile phone, his eyes lit up, because Steve said that the big boss was very interested in mobile phone research.

So, after some hesitation, he came over anyway.

"You're Martin Cooper, currently working at Motorola?" said Minamino after a little more than a minute.

"Yes. Martin Cooper nodded undeniably.

"Huh~ I finally found a talent. Shuichi Minamino smiled softly.

"Huh?" Martin Cooper was a little puzzled.

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask if you're working on the topic of mobile phones right now?" asked Shuichi Minamino straight to the point.

"Yes...... However, there has been little progress so far, and I have not been funded to do my research, so I have always been on my own...... Hey, Mr. Minamino, how did you know I was working on a mobile phone?" explained Martin Cooper, shocked again.

"You don't need to know this, I just want to ask you if you're willing to resign and do it with me?"

He now knew very well that the Martin Coopa in front of him was the talent he was looking for. Speaking of this name, many people may not know it, or even have heard of it. But he also has another nickname, that is, - the father of mobile phones!

One day in April 1973, a man stood on the street of New York, pulled out a wireless telephone about the size of two bricks, and made a call, drawing the attention of passers-by. That man was Martin Cooper, the inventor of the mobile phone. At that time, Coopa was an engineer and technician of the famous Motorola company of the United States.

That's right, he invented the world's first mobile phone!

And as soon as Minamino Shuyi heard the other party say that he was researching mobile phones alone, and Motorola had not started researching it yet, he knew that it should be very easy to kidnap this person.

According to memory, Shuichi Minamino clearly knew the concept of mobile phones, which appeared as early as the 40s. At that time, it was Bell Labs, the largest telecommunications company in the United States, that began trial production. In 1946, Bell Labs created the first so-called mobile telephone. However, because of its size, researchers had to put it on a shelf in the lab, and slowly people forgot about it.

Until the late '60s, AT& T and Motorola are just starting to take an interest in this technology. At the time, AT& T rents out a very large mobile wireless phone, which customers can attach to large trucks. AT& T's vision is that in the future a mobile phone with a power of 10 watts will be developed and communicated using the radio equipment on the truck. According to Cooper, the phone is too big and heavy to move for people to take with them. As a result, Motorola submitted an application to the Federal Communications Commission of the United States, requesting that the power of mobile communication equipment should only be one watt, and the maximum power should not exceed three watts. In fact, the radio power of most mobile phones today is only 500 milliwatts at most.

That's how Martin Cooper developed the world's first mobile phone in 1973!

It can also be seen from this that Motorola has not yet conducted research on mobile phones, and Motorola only began to pick up this thing again in the late 60s.

But it's only the end of the '50s, so Martin Coopa is working on mobile phones, but he doesn't have the money, he doesn't have a lab, he doesn't have the team, and he knows that he's doing it alone.

Martin Coopa also had the opportunity to develop a mobile phone when Motorola began to invest money and manpower in researching this mobile phone.

Now Shuichi Minamino is going to set up a telecommunications company, not only to do communications, but also to do mobile phones, so he came to Martin Cooper.

With such a talent, he thinks that it is better to leave it to Motorola than to abduct it himself.

"Ah, resign and do you do it?" Martin Cooper froze when he heard this. Although he is only the first ordinary researcher at Motorola, this job pays well and is well paid. He also needs to support his family. He wouldn't quit his job easily.

And he still doesn't know what kind of boss Shuichi Minamino is, and he doesn't know what he wants to poach himself for.

Nanno Shuyi saw the other party's doubts, so he smiled and said, "I am the chairman of the Nanno Collective. Don't say anything, one of my car companies is N times stronger than your Motorola company. I'm going to start a communications company. And I'm very interested in mobile phones, and I think it's going to be a very popular thing in the future. I plan to set up a research department dedicated to mobile phones. I want to hire you as a research team leader, I don't know if you are interested. ”
