Shortly after Christmas, 2015 had not yet completely passed, and Zhou Shi, who had just successfully incorporated Wang Xirui into his harem, left Silicon Valley and came to India.
Every time he thinks of the success of JIO Telecom, Zhou Shi will feel deep admiration, even if the company eventually fails and ends in bankruptcy, he still admires it.
The tariff in the Indian telecom market is relatively low, the traffic usage is less, and the average ARPU value is only about 15 yuan of soft sister coins, while the ARPU value of Huaxia Mobile is about 61 yuan soft sister coins, and even the worst Unicom has 50 yuan soft sister coins. Moreover, the market share of the top three Indian operators is 24%, 19% and 17% respectively, and the remaining less than 40% of the market share is divided between ten small operators. With a competitive landscape and ultra-low return on investment, this doesn't look like a good business. However, Mukesh Ambani did not hesitate to invest in the establishment of JIO Telecom.
Whatever his intentions, the difference he has brought to India is tangible. He greatly promoted the development of India's mobile Internet market, and his methods were many times more ruthless than Zhou Shi's investment in the establishment of Fruit Shell Nuts. It's just that Zhou Shi's layout is earlier and has more benefits. It's hard to say what Mukesh Ambani is likely to achieve, but there is a possibility of great success and a failure......
However, it is clear that the mobile data communication provided by operators will replace voice as the main carrier of information services, and on the basis of high-speed mobile data networks, a variety of mobile Internet applications will become the protagonists. The probability of success is still higher than that of failure!
"I officially announce that starting from January 1 next year, new users will be free to call, SMS and data for free for 3 months! Everything is free!" Mukesh Ambani announced the development plan of JIO Telecom on the last day of 2015, retaining the "0 yuan purchase" plan. You can't make all the good things public at once, which will affect the publicity effect. With the progress of the plan, it will be gradually promoted, from three months of free to four months of free, and then to half a year of free, and then it is the mobile phone "0 yuan purchase", and constantly surprising users is the king.
Not only that, in Jio's network, using Jio's Internet services, all content is free - and these Internet services include movies, television, music, magazines, newspapers and other content consumption services you can get.
The reason for this is that most of the services provided by Yahoo for JIO Telecom cannot be done by Reliance Industries, and the conflict of interest between the two parties is not serious because of the cooperative relationship. Moreover, it is also another source of revenue for the low-cost operation of JIO Telecom in the future. In the future, services such as retail e-commerce will also be involved in JIO Telecom. In short, JIO Telecom is repeating the old path of its previous life, but it is smoother because of the assistance of Zhou Shi.
"We at JIO Telecom will cover 99% of India's population in the next 12 months...... "Mukesh Ambani continues to brag that in 12 months, 4G network coverage will reach 90 percent, how likely is that?
"Why are you doing this?" a reporter questioned on the spot, a company that can't make money can only be whipped up, and consumers will be ready to leave at any time.
"India's mobile communication penetration rate is lower than the world average, which is seriously inconsistent with our status as a great power, and the development of mobile Internet is far behind that of China, and the role of the Internet in promoting the economy has not been reflected, which shows that the Internet infrastructure seriously restricts the development of India's economy......
It's about these words, Zhou Shi was a little distracted when he listened, and JIo Telecom officially stepped onto his stage half a year in advance. There is even greater hope for the Digital India initiative, where digital identity authentication has gained a lot of popularity since its introduction to the present day because of its semi-mandatory implementation. Time was officially invited to participate in the discussion of India's "unified payment interface", and although he could not speak, he at least knew what was coming. However, time to listen does not mean that Zhou Shi did not intervene. East West Bank, India, a large foreign bank, was involved in the design.
Designed by India's private banks and central banks, users can make instant bank transfers via their mobile phones without the need for credit cards and online banking accounts, eliminating the hassle of providing beneficiary details.
The perfection of the "unified payment interface" is that the system is tied to Aadhaar, India's real-name authentication system. Made, and unfamiliar nouns, this Aadhaar is the world's largest biometric database, and it is tied to a digital ID. That is, the database of fingerprints, iris and facial features collected when we apply for ID cards.
There is no doubt about the advanced convenience of payment security, but the collection of personal biometric information will inevitably leak privacy. The downside is obvious, when ordinary people are hit by power, there is almost nowhere to run. Every time you appear in front of the camera, every payment has the potential to reveal your own information.
In any case, with Zhou Shi's current net worth, there is no need to think about his own affairs, and it is difficult for ordinary magnates to threaten him. Moreover, enterprises with super technical strength still have a lot of accumulated technology to ensure their own safety.
At the end of the press conference, Zhou Shi and Mukesh Ambani exchanged more views on the cooperation between the two sides. Time Holdings' donation has made the world know a different Zhou Shi. India's evaluation of him, under the guidance of well-intentioned people, finally turned from negative to positive. Who can doubt a billionaire's love for the world who is willing to donate more than 100 billion dollars? Such a person is not a simple good person, nor is he a bad person.
Mo Di finally put his mind at ease about Zhou Shi's cooperation, if Zhou Shi was just a Chinese man, he would never cooperate with him. But Zhou Shi, who is accepted by the mainstream society in Europe and the United States, is obviously different, and now as the world's largest philanthropist, Zhou Shi is even more different.
India has little fear of being released by East West Bank, AIA, and Time Company. Zhou Shi believes that with the deepening of cooperation, he will be able to get more convenience here.
"Why do you want to help India rise?" Mo Di asked Zhou Shi again and in private.
"A strong country needs a strong adversary, and it needs a strong friend. I think you should be able to see that the lighthouse country does not want to see any country surpass it, even if it is only close to it in the economic field! If the EU and China can break through the blockade of the lighthouse country, the hope of India's rise will be even greater. If China fails, it will inevitably hinder India's development!" Zhou Shi, if China's life is not good, India still wants to be better?
"Oh!"
Whatever, it doesn't matter what others think, what matters is what they do. A political creature, no matter how good he has a relationship with you, will still betray you when it is time to betray you.
