Time magazine's tradition of being named Man of the Year began in 1927 when it was founded as a remedy for a mistake. Because of the time Charles. Lindbergh became the first man in history to successfully complete a solo non-landing flight across the Atlantic, and Time magazine did not put him on the cover, in order to remedy this embarrassing mistake, to find such a way to salvage the unprofessional image.

From the limitations brought by the word "man", it can be seen that the editors who were rushing to work at that time only had a flash of inspiration in their minds, and they did not think deeply about coming up with such an idea.

In 1999, Time magazine renamed the title "Heyear" to describe it more accurately.

In fact, the Man of the Year is not synonymous with a positive honor.

Any person with far-reaching influence, whether it is a legend for centuries or a legacy for thousands of years, is likely to be elected, such as Hitler in 1938.

And from Franklin. Since Roosevelt, almost every U.S. president has been voted Man of the Year at least once.

It can be said that when the incumbent president is elected, he will be selected as Time magazine's Person of the Year, and they are more politicians than business people.

It is precisely because of the selection of so many widely respected figures that many people take it for granted that the Man of the Year is a kind of lofty figure, and even if the originator Time magazine often points out that this is not the case, it cannot reverse people's thinking inertia.

Although the PHS system has not yet been established as an international communication standard, PHS shines brightly at press conferences, and all media around the world understand that it is only a matter of time before PHS becomes an international standard. Because the telecom giants will push for it themselves.

And Ling Shizhe's light also overshadowed US President Gerald. Rudolph. Ford, Time magazine immediately decided to list him as the cover character.

Originally, Ling Shizhe planned to go with the flow. But Foster, the company's consultant, suggested: Ling Shizhe as the founder. Internally, he is already the idol of the company's employees; Externally. It is the first image of the public, including customers, to understand the company, so you can't be lazy, try to fight for it, and you will benefit a lot.

Ling Shizhe had no choice but to be good, and after the press conference, he temporarily got out of the complicated things and was interviewed by Time magazine.

The group was led by Michael Murray, editor-in-chief of Time magazine's Montreal section. Tang Dynasty. Clooney, a middle-aged man who is only 50 years old.

Maybe it's going through a lot or you're going to retire. Throughout the interview, Michael. Tang Dynasty. Clooney didn't ask any sharp questions, many times he guided Ling Shizhe to speak, and more often than not, he was just listening.

When he finished his Phs development experience, Michael. Tang Dynasty. Clooney uttered the third sentence of his interview: "What do you think of Canada?" ”

"Canada is a very beautiful country, it's quiet and peaceful, the people are innocent and friendly, otherwise I wouldn't have become a Canadian citizen."

"You spent a lot of money, a lot of energy, and a lot of hard work to develop the PHS system, and you just contributed the technology for free. Is it because of pressure from telecom providers? "Michael. Tang Dynasty. Clooney asked with interest.

"No, our company has always been like this, inventing a new product. Just make the technology public," Ling Shizhe smiled and said: "They buy my chips, so that everyone in the world can enjoy the convenience brought by modern technology as quickly as possible, and of course I have also been rewarded handsomely." ”

"Change the world?" Michael. Tang Dynasty. Clooney's eyes lit up and he said, "I've interviewed a lot of entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley before, and this is the word they say to me the most. ”

"In fact, this change has already begun." Ling Shizhe had a proud look on his face, "Start with the computer camera." to blade servers, to PCs, PCs, and hotel management systems. Even desktop publishing systems, as well as networked office solutions, which have recently become popular in the market. People are changing today all the time. ”

Ling Shizhe paused, took a sip of coffee and continued: "You are engaged in journalism, I will talk about the publishing system, the emergence of DTP has greatly reduced the difficulty of news publications, and even one person can run a newspaper, as far as I know, DTP has begun to serve many community newspapers." This has made the West more free for free speech. ”

"That's true, we have such a system in the office of the magazine." Michael. Tang Dynasty. Clooney nodded and admitted, "Then I want to ask, will you run a telecommunications company?" I'm talking about telephone operations. ”

"Canada and the U.S. allow telecommunications equipment manufacturers to operate telephony businesses?" Ling Shizhe asked.

"Yes," said Michael. Tang Dynasty. Clooney nodded, "But maybe not in the future." ”

"Why?"

"Do you know about the American telephone and telegraph companies?" Michael. Tang Dynasty. "He's now under antitrust charges from the U.S. Department of Justice to dismember him into more than 20 different companies, and if this proposal is passed by the Supreme Court, then telecommunications equipment manufacturers will not be able to participate in telecommunications operations in the future," Clooney explained. ”

In addition to the manufacture of telecommunications equipment, the famous Pacific Bell Telecommunications is the largest telecommunications operator in North America, and even the famous Bell Helicopter Company is also his industry.

Historically, AT&T in the United States was the next company to be targeted by the U.S. Department of Justice after IBM, but they didn't expect that with the early end of IBM's anti-monopoly, they would be eyeing AT&T so soon.

Not good, after hearing this news, Ling Shizhe shook his head, the at&t situation is too bad, Ling Shizhe judged.

Compared with IBM, which has a scale of 10 billion dollars, the US Department of Justice of AT&T, which has a scale of 100 billion dollars, will not let go no matter what, and it is a matter of time before it is dismembered.

Michael. Tang Dynasty. Clooney made Ling Shizhe's heart shake, and the "Anti-Monopoly Law" was like a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all the large companies in the United States, and all the big companies trembled in front of him.

Ling Shizhe plans to make further adjustments to the company after the interview, so as not to come to an end. It's troublesome if you don't prepare at all.

After the interview, Ling Shizhe pushed everything away and called Alison and Foster over. Tell them about the American AT&T, and finally Foster told him. There is no need to worry so much, because Ambrera is different from AT&T, first of all, it is a Canadian company, and secondly, Ambrella's subsidiaries are registered in different countries, for example, Ambrera Group belongs to Canada, Ambrera Transportation Equipment Manufacturing Company is also registered in Canada, and China Aircraft Aviation Industry Corporation belongs to Taiwan/Bay. Seiko and Aviation Dynamics belong to Hong Kong, and Apple belongs to the United States...... With so many subsidiaries scattered in different countries around the world, and because of the different laws of each country, the Canadian Department of Justice cannot sue Ambrera in the name of antitrust.

After listening to Foster's answer, Ling Shizhe breathed a sigh of relief, but for the sake of insurance, he put the registered place of Ambrera Semiconductor Design Company in Hong Kong and the wafer foundry in Singapore, which made the relationship between the various subsidiaries more complicated, and did not give Westerners any excuse.

When that's all done. He received another notification from his secretary Bai Lu that a representative of the Galvin family had arrived.

Motorola before 2000 was known as the Galvin Dynasty. Christopho. Galvin is the third generation of Motorola in history.

Motorola's earliest history can be traced back to 1918, when the company Galvin, which produced batteries, and after the introduction of the car radio, its founder, Paul Galvin or Paul Galvin Galvin combined the word "motor" and the suffix "ola" in "motorcar" to create today's brand "motorola".

The reason why this suffix is singled out is because of the popularity at the time, and some companies that made gramophone, radio, and other audio equipment at the beginning of the century liked to use the suffix "-ola", the most famous of which was the old gramophone victrola.

Christopho. Galvin's father, Bob. Galvin is the second-generation head of Motorola. 1959 year. Paul is only 64 years old. After Galvin passed away due to illness, Motorola worked under Bob. Galvin led the way to the greatest glory. In the end, he planted a big heel on the "Iridium" plan.

And then there's Christopho. Galvin succeeded him. Because of his opposition to the divestiture of the semiconductor business, he announced his resignation in 00 under pressure from shareholders. The Galvinist dynasty came to an end in the third generation.

Christopho. Galvin's intention to come over is very obvious, Motorola is also a well-known mobile phone manufacturer in the United States, and he came to obtain the manufacturing technology of PHS mobile phones, as for telecommunications equipment, he is not very interested, but more interested in radio stations and walkie-talkie systems.

Although it is the future to pick up the pillars, Christopho. It is impossible for Galvin to be in a high position directly, he still has to start from the grassroots level step by step, and the prince also needs real and reliable performance to establish his own connections and prestige.

The prince was very direct and directly told him to exchange PHS mobile phone technology with the company's telecommunications equipment technology and X-A mobile phone baseband chip technology.

Although Motorola also produces fixed-line telecommunications equipment such as program-controlled switches, but their telecommunications equipment does not sell well, in the field of telecommunications equipment, Ericsson is the world's best telecommunications equipment supplier, Motorola's advantage is in the manufacture of wireless communication radio walkie-talkies, car radios and mobile phones.

Ling Shizhe's PHS mobile phone displayed at the press conference caused Bob. Galvin was very interested, so he sent his precious son to negotiate with Ling Shizhe, hoping to obtain PHS mobile phone technology.

Motorola has its own semiconductor factory, so he does not plan to buy Ambrera's CPU and baseband chips, but to make them himself after obtaining the X-A baseband chip technology; But at the same time, he didn't want to pay Ambrera the patent fee for the mobile phone, so he wanted to use his program-controlled switch technology to exchange with Ling Shizhe.
