    Motorola charity gala on Star Island, New York.

    Although the area of ??Star Island is more than twice that of Manhattan, its population is very sparse, which is also related to the fact that there are too many vacation villas on it. Rich people like to come here for vacation. You can see the Statue of Liberty when you look up.  Looking out at the busy New York Harbor, it is really pleasant to live here.

    Taking a Motorola cruise ship from New York Harbor to Star Island, Xiao Qi looked at the familiar Motorola expression on the cruise ship and had many thoughts in his mind.

    In his previous life, Xiao Qi witnessed the glory and decline of Motorola in China before going abroad.

    As the first large foreign communications company to develop in China, Motorola relied on its strong strength to make a fortune from pagers and then moved into the mobile phone field. At its peak, it occupied almost 90% of the Chinese market.  .

    At that time, Motorola was synonymous with excellent products and high-end mobile phones.

    Even the first mobile phone equipped for Xiao Xu in the work was Motorola's v998. Although the price had dropped from the peak of 9,000 to more than 5,000, it was still out of reach.

    Xiao Qi, who was still a child, played with his father's mobile phone for a long time, and even put it on the pillow to accompany him to sleep.

    At that time, Xiao Qi really thought that there would never be a better mobile phone than v998 in the world, and there would never be a greater company than Motorola.

    As a result, Nokia later entered China in a big way, relying on the friendly policy of building signal base stations for China Mobile and Liandu for free, and turned Motorola into a "mobile phone with poor signal", while the Nokia mobile phone with adjusted reception frequency was "in the market"  A mobile phone that can make calls anywhere.¡±

    So, the proud and arrogant Motorola was beaten to the bottom by Nokia. After entering the new century, its market share in China has declined significantly for several consecutive years. By this year, it has only 25% of the market share.

    But Motorola is still very proud.  Their overall profitability in the world is pretty good. At least before the advent of the smartphone iPhone, they maintained a proud record of profitability for more than 20 consecutive years.

    However, after Xiao Qi¡¯s dreampad came out, no matter how rigid their leadership was, they still saw intelligent electronic products.  How big a share will it occupy in the future? That¡¯s why we excitedly started research on intelligent products.

    Motorola and Nokia are actually very, very disappointing in terms of intelligence.

    The first mobile phone in the world was from Motorola, the first touch screen mobile phone was from Nokia, and the first mobile phone with integrated wifi chip was also from Nokia

    They have already taken advantage of all the opportunities, but they are too conceited, thinking that mobile phones are only for making calls, and those fancy functions will be spurned by real middle- and high-income earners.  Because these customers simply don¡¯t have time to play with their mobile phones.

    So later, the extremely keen Qiao Gangzhu succeeded, and Samsung, HTC, etc. also swarmed in with smartphones, causing the two mobile phone companies to directly fall into bankruptcy. This is probably now in 2006, most people are  I didn't expect it.

    In 2013, Nokia announced the closure of several flagship stores in China.  Countless mobile phone users rushed to take photos in front of the closed stores to commemorate their youthful years.

    After all, Motorola and Nokia are the memories that a generation of Chinese people grew up with. Xiao Qi and others all have deep feelings for them - not because of the mobile phones themselves, but because of the growth process carried by the mobile phones.

    With this slight melancholy, Xiao Qi got into a special car and arrived at the "Motorcycle Manor" built by Motorola.

    All right.

    It¡¯s said to be Motorola.  In fact, it is somewhat inaccurate. It should be said that the protagonist today is the Motorola mobile phone company. Its parent company, Motorola, also involves the rights and interests of the military's weapons and electronic equipment, communication equipment of major important departments, etc., then it is really true.  Just like the existence of IBM, it can be said that they are all illegitimate children of the United States.

    Unlike its parent company, which involves the military¡¯s strict confidentiality, Motorola Mobile Phone Company is for civilian use.  Therefore, you can act in a very high-profile manner.

    No matter how high Nokia¡¯s market share is around the world, in the current U.S. market, before the iPhone started selling, Motorola was still No. 1 in the United States.  It is still a behemoth that ordinary companies cannot look up to.

    Like today, when Xiao Qi arrived at six o'clock, the place was already crowded with people inside and outside. Nuo Da's manor was occupied by two to three hundred well-dressed gentlemen and ladies, and the popularity seemed very strong.

    Wade was very enthusiastic, knowing that Xiao Qi didn¡¯t know anyone, so he called early to contact him, then waited at the door and walked in with Xiao Qi.

      "Mr. Griffin, the vice president of Motorola Mobile Phones, would like to meet you Qi Shao before the charity dinner." Wade said as he walked: "Griffin served as the president of Greater China and is a pretty decent person.  That¡¯s right. I didn¡¯t agree to it rashly because they would probably mention the dreampad.¡±

    "Let's go and meet." Xiao Qi nodded and said, "These evil wolves will come sooner or later. In addition to investment banks, these mobile phone companies are not fuel-efficient lamps."

    "good."

    Wade breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took Xiao Qi to another road.

    The two passed through two lobbies. Xiao Qi entered a relatively small second-floor lounge, while Wade was waiting outside the door.

    Here, a white-haired old man is holding a book and reading.

    Hearing the sound of the door opening, the old man raised his head, smiled heartily at Xiao Qi, stood up and gave him a warm hug: "Wonderful boy, I finally see you!"

    Xiao Qi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Mr. Griffin, I am also very honored. When I was a child, you were the president of Motorola Greater China. At that time, you could only be seen on TV.  The big shot!"

    "Yeah, seeing the emergence of young talents like you, I feel more and more old." Griffin smiled bitterly and asked Xiao Qi to sit down. "I don't have much time at Motorola. I should retire next year."  , so I took the liberty to invite Mr. Xiao here today because I want to do something for Motorola at the last moment.¡±

    "Mr. Griffin, please speak." Xiao Qi said with a smile.

    "I watched Fairy Company's dreampad. It was great! Very wonderful! It reminded me of when Cooper made his first cell phone call more than thirty years ago" Griffin said with a look of memory on his face.  He opened this door for us humans, and you, Mr. Xiao Qi, opened another broader door for us!"
