introduction
If you want to ask who is most famous in the Internet circle now, many people will say "Ma Yun, Ma Huateng!" without thinking! These two can be said to have achieved the position of the leading boss in the industry in their respective fields, but there was a picture circulating on the Internet: In a dinner, Ma Yun and Ma Huateng sat side by side, and the facial expressions of the two showed that the mood was not very good at that time. At this moment, a man was standing between Ma Yun and Ma Huateng, putting his hands on the shoulders of the two of them, and leaning down with a pair of glasses to say something.
This photo was published on the Internet, and many people are asking: Who is this man with his hands pressed on the shoulders of the "second horse"? Why did he dare to do this? This man is Wu Ying, the father of "PHS", and his status in the jianghu has never changed.

With the development of the times and the progress of science and technology, electronic payment has changed the way of life of cash payment in the past, and mobile phones have also undergone earth-shaking changes. The earliest mobile phone is now called "the elderly machine", can only make calls, send and receive text messages, and now the mobile phone function is various, and even can and the function of the computer is not much more. Wu Ying is the father of "PHS", which is the earliest communication equipment, the new communication method of PHS introduced and founded by it once swept through the north and south of China, and many people are holding a PHS instead of a landline.
Nowadays, it is difficult for us to see the figure of "PHS", and the children born in recent years have not even heard of PHS, this is because the tide of the times has "slapped" it on the beach, but Wu Ying, as the "father of PHS", still occupies a stable place in the jianghu, the status of the jianghu has never changed, and it still has a very high reputation in the field of communications.
Wu Ying was born in 1959, just in time for China's resumption of the college entrance examination, he was admitted to Beijing University of Technology, majoring in radio communications.
Because life never sets limits, So Wu Ying does not want to see the head of the stable days at a glance, he does not follow the path of his parents' planning and hope, but listens to his inner voice and goes to the New Jersey Institute of Technology in the United States for graduate school.
After that, Wu Ying came to the United States with a passion, where he was surprised to find that his country was still only at the level of primary school students in the communications industry, much behind the international level. As an overseas student, Wu Ying did not accept defeat, and he did not want his motherland to still know little about the cause of communications, so he studied more seriously and diligently than at home.

With the goal of learning good knowledge and serving the motherland, Wu Ying's life as a graduate student in the United States was very fulfilling. He joined the famous American research studio Bell Studio for study and work, where he carried out from theory to practice, accumulating a considerable wealth of knowledge for the later period.
After completing his studies, Wu Ying left the United States and returned to China, where he wanted to make money by starting a business on his own. Everyone collects firewood and the flame is high, entrepreneurship is difficult to achieve success by one person, under various coincidences, he met Huang Xiaoqing and others, and in a hit, several people co-founded Starcom, and then merged with Unite to form UTStarcom.
In the cause of communications, China has a famous concept, it is Wu Ying's "telecommunications, China", at that time this concept caused a great sensation in China, everyone was looking at Wu Ying's concept.
As the richest man in Japan at the time, Son Zhengyi, this person's keen sense of smell allowed him to invest 30 million yuan for Wu Ying, and Wu Ying took this investment money to introduce PHS technology, which is known as "PHS". No major manufacturer in China has yet recognized what kind of explosive power PHS has in the future market, but Wu Ying has realized it one step ahead of others.
People who have experienced the PHS era will inevitably lament that after the PHS was born, what big brothers, what landline phones, what landline calls have become a thing of the past, and almost all people with conditions have bought PHS as a communication tool for daily life. In addition to the advantages of being portable and convenient to use at a glance, the money required for PHS is far cheaper than landline or landline calls.
Therefore, even if foreign mobile phones had been introduced to China at that time, due to the high price of mobile phones, it was a luxury in the eyes of people at that time, and the sales of PHS were not much affected.
Dare to be invisible, keen business sense, excellent technical support, these factors constitute the success of Wu Ying and PHS. Later, because the development of communication technology was in full swing, the iteration of technology update exceeded people's imagination at that time, Wu Ying and PHS were caught off guard, so PHS gradually disappeared from people's sight. However, Wu Ying still occupies a certain position in China's communications industry, and has a certain prestige and prestige, even If Ma Yun and Ma Huateng have to let him get three points, after all, in the 90s, he has relied on the "PHS" industry to earn tens of billions of assets.
epilogue
A famous person once said, "I stand on the shoulders of giants", Wu Ying's success and his daring to be the first have an inseparable relationship, in the reality that most large factories do not recognize or dare not contact, he dares to put forward innovative suggestions, but also dares to invest thirty million in a communication field that is completely unfamiliar to the Chinese. Today's Internet momentum is just fierce, precisely because there is a powerful role like Wu Ying, the so-called "predecessors planted trees after the cool", standing on the shoulders of giants can make us see farther, but also can not forget to always maintain innovative ideas, maintain independent thinking, and walk along the footprints of predecessors forever is always the shadow of predecessors.
