13841287201, --- isn't this a very common mobile phone number? Hehe, that's because you haven't figured out its secret yet. A few days ago, I had dinner with a friend, and during the meal, he revealed the secret of this number to me: it is actually 7 to the power of 12, which means multiplying 12 sevens together, 7×7×7×7×7×7×7×7×7×7×7×7 = 13841287201. He said that the number "7" phonetically represents "qi", meaning "rise", and now some leaders and business people like it; moreover, in the "I Ching", the 7th hexagram is the Army hexagram, located at the Wu position, right on the Zi-Wu axis, and 7 to the power of 12 equals 13841287201. Its rectangle is 73, at the Zi position in the seventh line, in the "I Ching" hexagrams, 7 is exactly on the Zi-Wu axis advancing smoothly (Yang progresses), symbolizing the ability to resolve conflicts without obstacles, and because it follows the situation and has a legitimate reason, it can turn misfortune into good fortune; and 12 sevens multiplied correspond to the 12 zodiac signs (i.e., the 12 earthly branches), symbolizing that everything goes smoothly for the 12 months of the year and turns bad luck into good fortune. Moreover, other powers of 7 are not mobile phone numbers, but just the 12th power is, and it happens to fall within the Anshan area (mobile phone number segment 412).
I told my friend this was too coincidental, and I felt happy that Anshan had such an amazing number. My friend smiled and said to me, "Maybe the 'Jade Buddha' in Anshan has shown its power, haha!" I quickly urged my friend to get this number as soon as possible, and I wanted to use it for two days to change my luck. My friend said it was already too late, someone else was using this number. "Then we can just offer him some money to transfer it, right?" I asked him anxiously. He said, "Sure, you pay the money." "How much?" I asked, "Not much, 500,000 yuan," my friend said helplessly, and I was speechless.
After dinner, I went back home and was still thinking about this mobile phone number, feeling reluctant. I couldn't help but call this number. When the call was connected, I proposed to the user: I would exchange my phone number ending with 999 for his. He didn't say anything and hung up the phone. I bravely called him again and asked how much he would charge to transfer the number. He said an astronomical price, and I was speechless again, and he hung up the phone once more.
News Report:
The mobile phone number that is a whole power of 7 is known online as "China's most powerful mobile phone number."
The owner, Ms. Fu, has been harassed by numerous unknown calls and text messages, with many people calling her offering huge sums to buy the number.
"No matter how much money they offer, I will not sell my mobile phone number," said Ms. Fu.
Hot Post: Mobile Phone Number 7^n "China's Most Powerful"
Yesterday, I saw a post on a website's forum titled "China's Most Powerful Mobile Phone Number in Anshan." In the post, netizens explained using the "I Ching": "The number '7' phonetically represents 'qi'... implying the ability to resolve conflicts smoothly... turning misfortune into good fortune."
I saw online that after this post was issued on the Guangdong version of a certain forum, there were continuous days of replies from netizens with different opinions, but when the same content was reposted on the Liaoning version of the same forum, it received no attention.
Owner: The number was calculated by her younger brother at Tsinghua
Following the number left in the forum post, I dialed this "most powerful" mobile phone number, and it was rejected twice. On the third attempt, the other party finally answered the call. A woman who claimed to be surnamed Fu told me the story of purchasing this mobile phone number and the trouble it brought her.
Ms. Fu started using this mobile phone number last May, and she knew before purchasing it that it was a whole power of 7, but she did not know about the "I Ching" hexagram interpretation.
"This number was recommended by my younger brother, and I didn't spend extra money; I bought it through normal procedures," said Ms. Fu. Because she really liked the number "7", the tail of her previous mobile phone number was four "7"s. At that time, her younger brother was studying mathematical theory at Tsinghua University and suggested she buy this number, which happened to be in Anshan.
"I didn't expect that as soon as I started using it, people sent messages wanting to buy it," said Ms. Fu, "Someone offered 770,000 yuan to buy my mobile phone number, but I ignored it."
Ms. Fu did not know that her mobile phone number had been disclosed on an online forum, and the recent increase in harassment calls made her very annoyed: "There have been a lot of harassing calls recently, including someone claiming to be from a southern chamber of commerce offering 200,000 yuan to buy my phone number, and even after telling him I wouldn't sell, he continued to call."
Out of helplessness, Ms. Fu had to reject all unknown calls. She used to keep her phone on 24 hours a day, but now she shuts it off every night. The reason she answered my call yesterday was because my phone number segment was local to Anshan.
Scholar: The claim of "the most powerful mobile phone number" is unscientific
Ms. Fu said that her fondness for "7" originated from the phrase "seven up eight down". She believed that the word "seven up" could bring her good luck, allowing her to strive for excellence in everything.
"I don't know if it has anything to do with this mobile phone number, but indeed my luck has been pretty good over the past year or so," Ms. Fu laughed and said to the reporter, "Even if you give me 1 million yuan, I wouldn't trade these lucky things away, so I won't sell my mobile phone number."
Folklorist Qi Shoucheng expressed that from the perspective of digital culture, "7" has no special meaning, and the claims of auspiciousness or misfortune based on it have absolutely no basis.
"Some people used to say '6' represents smooth sailing and '8' represents wealth, but now we are changing customs and looking at problems with a scientific development view," said Qi Shoucheng, "Using numbers to infer auspiciousness or misfortune does not belong to folk customs and is equally unscientific and unreliable."
Ms. Fu hopes to tell everyone interested in this mobile phone number through our newspaper not to call her or send messages anymore, otherwise, she will resort to legal measures to protect herself.
