Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 593 [Layout and Bargaining Chips]

"This negotiation is still left to you."

After the executive meeting was over, the others left but Luo Sheng and Zhang Bowen stayed to continue their discussions.

Lao Zhang nodded and said that there is no problem. He only needs to be responsible to the Bluestar Technology Group, and Luo Sheng not only has to distract this company, but also many companies such as Azure Pure Electric Automobile Company, Azure Coast, and Star Arrow International. I certainly don't have so much energy to dominate myself.

Luo Sheng looked at him and said: "Bluestar Technology has lost its North American business, and it has become more important to seek new growth points. The first year after the restructuring of the strategy has almost passed, and business development in emerging markets How's it going?"

Since the implementation of the new strategy of Bluestar Technology Group, the strategy of encircling cities from the countryside has been adopted. The market business in developed countries is the city, while the emerging market economy is the countryside.

Improving new performance growth points can not only stabilize the company's stock price, but more importantly, gain more bargaining chips and resistance.

The chip technology battle that broke out this time will not settle down in a half-time, and the battlefield is not one, but multiple.

Lao Zhang tilted his legs and said: "The progress is good. The growth of new users is the most intuitive manifestation. However, the current value potential of these users is much weaker than the value of users in developed markets."

Luo Sheng nodded in satisfaction: "It's nothing. As long as the growth momentum is good, it represents the future. What we are looking for is the performance in the next ten years."

Zhang Bowen continued: "The biggest highlight is the expansion of the Indus business sector. Oh, yes, when it comes to Indus, the new head of Xinshi Industry, the richest man in Indus, Mukesh Ambani, will personally lead it the day after tomorrow. The business delegation came to sign an important business cooperation."

Luo Sheng was surprised when he heard: "Mukash Ambani? Isn't this person in the petroleum and chemical industry? As the energy tycoon of Indo, how come to play IT with us? It's interesting."

Xinshi Industrial Group is a well-known group company in India. However, after the death of its old head ten years ago, this group company broke out in the drama of future generations competing for family property. In the end, there was no complete quarrel and it was considered a peaceful separation.

As his brother, Mukesh Ambani controlled the oil business of Xinshi Industry. He is the largest oil magnate in India and controls the world’s largest oil refinery and promised his mother that he would not Intervene in the business related to the younger brother.

That was all in 2005.

Luo Sheng had just made his name in the Internet industry at that time, but he had also heard about the news of Xinshi Industry Group. After all, the news about India at the time was almost all reporting the two brothers' dispute over family property.

Zhang Bowen smiled and said: "Mu Kashi promised him that he would not get involved in his brother's business within ten years. Now ten years have passed and he is ready to compete directly with his brother. After all, he is jealous of his brother's business, and He has a brand new dream to build his own Internet empire."

"Mukash’s younger brother inherited the letter time and was the second largest telecommunications company in Indus at that time, with a market value of more than one trillion rupees. Before the separation, his brother led the letter and time to enter the mobile market and significantly reduced prices. Calling charges are cheaper than fixed-line telephones, which defeats traditional telecommunications companies."

Luo Sheng listened and thought with his chin, but for a moment he looked at Zhang Bowen and admired: "Choose to cooperate with Mu Kaishi instead of his brother. This is right. I support this approach, even though his brother Anni You are now the leader of the local industry, but no one in Indus has more money than Mu Kashi. This is a game of fighting for more money."

Luo Sheng has a deep understanding of how wonderful this thing is.

The strategy of Xinshi Communication is actually the same as the current domestic taxi-hailing industry and the food delivery industry. The ability to burn money in the early stage will crowd out competitors and there will always be ways to make money after monopolizing the market.

Zhang Bowen nodded and smiled: "Mukash is going to copy his brother's way of destroying the traditional telecommunications company of Indus to do telecommunications business, and then use more money than his brother to drag down the other party. We have done all aspects of the business of Indus internally. According to the comprehensive assessment, it is agreed that Mu Kash will eventually defeat his younger brother with a probability of more than 70%, so the internal consensus is that to cooperate with Mu Kash, within three years, Anil will definitely be used by his brother's "money ability" defeat."

Bluestar Technology Group does not have the slightest interest in the bloody plot of other people's family members. The biggest goal is to expand the company's business in Indus, which is an emerging market of the order of 1 billion.

Bluestar's layout this time is to replicate the "WeChat" ecosystem in Indus. Of course, it is not the social APP application of WeChat. WeChat is only popular in China and Southeast Asia. Indus people do not use WeChat.

In Indo, the only national-level application currently is the cross-platform chat application WhatAPP under the Bluestar Technology Group. As of November 2015, WhatAPP has 220 million users in Indo, and the current Internet user scale of All Indo is About 350 million, WhatAPP accounts for two-thirds of the scale. According to the current growth momentum, Indo's Internet users will reach 600 million in three years.

For Bluestar Technology, due to the imminent loss of the North American market and even the entire English-speaking international market, if it faces a failure in the Indus market, it is a serious strategic mistake, which is something that Bluestar Technology cannot accept.

Recently, Bluestar Technology is actively seeking to launch a payment function in Indo, based on the WhatAPP application, but wants to make a certain name in this market. The largest telecommunications giant in the UK invested 20 billion US dollars in Indo, hoping to Becoming the largest telecommunications operator in the region, thinking that it could be achieved easily, the result was a bloodshed and basically lost money.

Therefore, if there are British people exploring the way ahead, Bluestar Technology will naturally not repeat the mistakes of the British people doing it alone. It must cooperate with local powerhouses.

And Bluestar Technology obviously values ​​the character of Indo’s energy tycoon Mukash Ambani. No one in Indo has more money than Mukash and wants to get involved in the local telecommunications business and Internet business.

Luo Sheng said: "How is the cooperative law roughly?"

Zhang Bowen replied: "I have negotiated with Mu Kashi for several weeks and reached a consensus. I agreed that Bluestar Technology will acquire 22.7% of JioPlatforms for US$2.85 billion. JioPlatforms is a telecom and broadband subsidiary of Xinshi Industry. department."

With this transaction, Mukash wants to help its parent company Xinshi Industry to reduce the heavy debt burden. At present, Xinshi Industry's debt is about 40 billion US dollars.

The starting point for Bluestar Technology’s willingness to invest the money in JioPlatforms is simple. The mobile phone of this telecommunications company is very popular in the local area. It is only suitable to promote Bluestar Technology’s family bucket application service. The purpose is to hope more third brothers. Be able to use the software service of Bluestar Technology Family Bucket.

Maybe the domestic people who eat melons are now used to surfing on 4G. It is common to watch live broadcasts and scan the content. At the same time, Yindu has not officially promoted 4G network services in 2015.

Mu Kashi didn’t know that Bluestar Technology wanted to work with him, so he promised to deploy 4G in Yindu from 2016. In order to be able to win Bluestar Technology over and not be intercepted by his younger brother, the richest man in Yindu offered sacrifices. After showing his "money capability", he promised to come up with the cheapest 4G package in history. When Bluestar Technology saw it, it was okay to play with you buddy, and beat your stinky brother together.

How cheap is the cheapest 4G package in history?

Use it for free for half a year, and then pay 10 yuan a month to have unlimited data. At the same time, Mu Kashi promised to launch his own semi-smart phone jio-Phone next year. This phone cannot play large-scale mobile games, but has 4G and WIFI Function, you can run a simple applet application, can also run a customized version of the Bluestar Technology Family Bucket software.

The biggest highlight of this "jio machine" is that it only sells more than 100 yuan of soft sister coins, and it can be refunded in full within three years. This is quite suitable for the current consumption level of Indus.

Luo Sheng was quite surprised. He didn't expect the management of Bluestar Technology to find the best partner of Yindu so accurately.

The memory of the last life let him know that most people in Yindu can afford mobile data, which should indeed be attributed to Mu Kaishi's jio business, and Mu Kaishi relied on this free assassin to defeat his brother.

Since the provision of 4G services, in just 170 days, jio has gained 100 million local users, 400 million users have been created in three years, and monthly active users have reached 300 million. Indochina has 600 million internet users in three years. , Jio users accounted for more than half.

Obviously, this is the fundamental reason why Bluestar Technology values ​​this cooperation.

Zhang Bowen smiled and said: "Mukash also promised that in the next three to five years, Xinshi Industry will make intensive investment in the local Internet industry, with the purpose of penetrating into all aspects of the lives of the people in Indochina. He promised to invest 50 billion US dollars. To create the largest mobile operator of Indo, I believe that in the future this year, Indo will sprout up many venture capital companies."

Luo Sheng said: "Hehe, so hungry to spend money, Mu Kaishi did not hide his own e-commerce ambitions at all. Using the traffic portal of the operator jio, to create an Internet outside of the traditional business of Xinshi Industry. The empire is equivalent to China Mobile + Alibaba of Indus. This is the new dream of the richest man in Indus. The cornerstones of this empire are obviously jio and jioMart."

Zhang Bowen nodded and said: "The words of President Luo can be said to be insightful, yes, I had a video connection with Mu Kash before, and he said that he would greatly promote WhatAPP to be included in the 23 local official languages ​​in India. He also promised that in the near future, he will launch jioMart and WhatAPP to help local 30 million small shops and mom-and-pop shops realize digitization, establish connections with customers, and achieve growth. Customers can see the nearest merchants on their mobile phones and place orders to purchase various products. Kind of daily necessities."

Luo Sheng said indifferently: "The promises are not reliable, and the promises written in the agreement can only be assured. Once this plan is realized, Mu Kashi will completely control the retail industry of Indus. Compared with my country, the main force in the retail industry of Indus That’s the 30 million mom-and-pop shops."

The focus of people’s attention in this technological battle is in the field of chip integrated circuits, because this is the head, and everyone is paying attention, but it is actually a comprehensive technological battle, not only involving the field of integrated circuits, but also The Internet and other related fields.
