Chapter 849: The Homecoming Conference (I)
The Bund AIA Building, which has been leased by AIA since 1998, has now become the headquarters of Sixiang Fund in the magic capital, and today Zhou Shi called the heads of Galaxy Capital, Sixiang Fund, Time, Nuts, and Spreadtrum, and invited Xu Zhijun, the rotating CEO of Huawei.
"Everyone should know about Modi's Digital India Plan, this is our opportunity, please pay attention to it!"
"Even if India's Digital India Plan is to be executed, we don't know how long it will take according to their efficiency, are we going to go in now, or are we going to be ready?"
"If they're not efficient, then we're going to push for it. "Zhou Shi
"What can we do when we go?"
"Anything can be done, but now the key is to move their mobile network, which is crucial. "Zhou Shi
"Are we going to work with Indian telecom operators?"
"That's right!"
"Which company, Vodafone, Idea Cellula or Bharti Airtel?"
"No, I chose Reliance JIo Telecom ......" Zhou Shi
"The strength of this company is not strong, and it seems that it only has a 4G license ......," Xu Zhijun of Huawei
"So what, we can just reduce the burden, concentrate on the development of 4G network construction, and maybe reduce the Qualcomm tax. "Zhou Shi
"There's not much hope ...... that way"
"Reliance Industries and I are likely to invest at least $10 billion in India's communications and broadband network construction!" Zhou Shi
"Mr. Zhou, shouldn't you be more cautious about investing on this scale!" Zhu Yunlai
"Making money is not the goal, we want to change the world. With the development of this market, in order to maintain the competitiveness of local enterprises in the United States, it will inevitably use various excuses to limit the development of Time Cloud, and it is likely to be surpassed by Microsoft and Yahoo in the future, which is not a problem of technical strength, but a political problem.
India is likely to replicate the high growth of China, which is very likely, and the market size is undoubted, so the public cloud business that meets the low-cost start-up in the Internet field will naturally not be very bad.
Even if we don't talk about the public cloud business, what about the Android system? Our current market share is much lower than that of Google Android, which is less than double the market share of Apple's IOS. Where is the next growth point?
When India's network conditions improve, how big will the market of ebook be in India? How big will the ebook market be in India with low cost and high battery life to meet most of the basic needs? Can the deep system take advantage of the development of underdeveloped areas to make Loongson grow? This is the development of the entire industrial chain, not our business.
Our cooperation with Reliance will include Reliance Retail, and the hardware products of Time and Nuts will be available in thousands of physical stores and will be highly recommended. Jio Telecom, a subsidiary of Reliance, will cooperate with nuts to produce at least 20 million low-cost, high-endurance 4G feature phones in the first batch. The specific conditions need to be discussed, and it also depends on the size of the actual investment of the four elephants of the galaxy. "Zhou Shi
"Mr. Zhou, where is the price range of 20 million mobile phones, how long will it take for them to sell out, if it is only 20 million in a few years, it is completely unnecessary. "Wang Huainan
"The cost of the lowest-end mobile phone must be less than 100 soft girl coins, as for the time, I only talked to him about a rough idea, and you still need to estimate the specifics. "Zhou Shi
"Mr. Zhou, you can't do it at such ......a low cost," Wang Huainan
"Then find a ...... that can do it," Zhou Shi stared at him for a few seconds.
"In my vision for Mukesh and me, we will improve the network coverage in key areas in the early stage, and then we will adopt the Internet thinking, first use extreme measures to attract customers, and then improve the network while competing with low prices. For example, when we are ready, we will launch a free trial of three months to six months in all of India, and the mobile phone will be ...... for free
"It can't ......"
"If necessary, Modi can become the spokesperson of Jio Telecom......" Zhou Shi
"......" everyone was stunned all of a sudden, a head of state is a spokesperson, this ......
Well, in fact, there is nothing, the head of state in China also takes the shell product as a gift to outsiders, and the head of state and his wife also use the shell mobile phone loaded with the time Android system in public.
The operating system and the use of mobile phone chips of Guoke and Nut are not bound to Time Android and Spreadtrum, even if Guoke has its own chip department, it still uses some Qualcomm chips. The Shell phone loaded with Google Android is about half of the Shell phone of Android at some time. Another important point is that after Galaxy Capital successfully won two seats on the board of directors of ARM, Spreadtrum stopped developing MIPS mobile phone chips. MIPS focuses on the field of embedded chips, including unmanned cars/machines, TVs/top boxes, games, PC/server chips, etc. As a result, ARM's stock price stopped falling and recovered, retaining its market value.
As for why this is done, it is a collective credit, and it can also be said to be a compromise of reality. Since Guoke can't do the level of Apple's iPhone, and is responsible for all the software and hardware, it is necessary to make more friends. And it is necessary to give Spreadtrum and Time Android enough pressure, otherwise people will fall after eating a big pot of rice for a long time.
Nutshell nuts are the foundation of Time Android, Spreadtrum, and the foundation to ensure that they will not starve to death, not the driving force for their growth.
"Mr. Zhou, what does Huawei need to do?" said Xu Zhijun
"Huawei, I told you the news, how to do it is your own business, but until the Faithfulness is not announced, it is best to keep this secret, otherwise Huawei will definitely be taken care of. This time, Reliance uses a pure 4G network and calls using VoLTE, and our goal is to build a 4G communication network that can accommodate more than 300 million users within 3~5 years. "Zhou Shi
"Okay, thank you Mr. Zhou!" Xu Zhijun
"It's okay, I hope Huawei can put more pressure on nuts, and there is no hope for a high-tech company that is not obsessed with technology research and development!" Zhou Shi
"Nuts have done a good job, much more powerful than Huawei phones. "Xu Zhijun
"But Spreadtrum, Guohu, and Nut may not have as many patent reserves in the future 5G field as Huawei. "Zhou Shi
"Mr. Zhou, we will work hard. "Wang Huainan
"Hopefully!" Zhou Shi, after all, he is not an expert in the field of technology.
"It is safe to say that Jio Telecom is not a simple commercial project, it is a national strategy of the Indian government, I don't know if it will succeed, and I don't know if we can recover the cost after paying a lot. Mukesh and I only have verbal cooperation intentions, and the specific way to do it depends on your choice......" Zhou Shi looked around and made a summary
