Chapter 591 [Layout and Chips]
"This negotiation is still up to you."
After the executive meeting, the others left, but Luo Sheng and Zhang Bowen stayed to continue the discussion.
Lao Zhang nodded and said that there was no problem, he only needed to be responsible for the Blue Star Technology Group, and Luo Sheng had to be distracted by this company, as well as Azure Pure Electric Vehicle Company, Azure Coast, Star Arrow International and many other companies, and they definitely did not have so much energy to lead it personally.
Luo Sheng looked at him and continued: "Bluestar Technology has lost its North American business, and it has become more important to seek new growth points. ”
Since the implementation of the new strategy of Bluestar Technology Group, the strategy of surrounding the city in the countryside has been adopted, and the market business in developed countries is the city, and the market economy in the emerging market 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 the ability to resist attacks.
The battle for chip technology that broke out this time will not settle in a while, and the battlefield is not one, but many.
Lao Zhang crossed Erlang's legs and said: "The progress is good, and the growth of new users is the most intuitive embodiment, but the current value potential of these users is much weaker than the user value in developed market areas." ”
Luo Sheng nodded with satisfaction: "It's nothing, as long as the growth momentum is good, it means that the future is promising, and we are interested in the performance in the next ten years." ”
Zhang Bowen continued: "The biggest highlight is the expansion of Yindu's business sector, oh yes, when it comes to Yindu, the new head of Xinshi Industries, the richest man in Yindu, Mukaish Ambani, will personally lead a business delegation to sign an important business cooperation the day after tomorrow." ”
Luo Sheng was surprised when he heard this: "Mukash Ambaani? Isn't this guy in the petroleum and chemical sector? As an energy tycoon of Yindu, why did you come to play IT with us? It's kind of interesting. ”
Xinshi Industrial Group is a well-known group enterprise in Yindu, but after the death of the old head of this group company ten years ago, the drama of descendants fighting for family property broke out, and in the end it did not completely break up, and it was regarded as a peaceful separation.
As the elder brother, Mukesh Ambani controls the oil business of Shinshi Industries, the largest oil giant in Indo today, controlling the world's largest oil refinery, and promised his mother that he would not interfere in his brother's business for ten years.
That was in 2005.
At that time, Luo Sheng had just begun to make a name for himself in the Internet industry, but he had also heard of the news of Xinshi Industrial Group, after all, almost all the news about India at that time reported on the two brothers' fight for family property.
Zhang Bowen said with a smile: "Mu Kaishi promised him not to get involved in his brother's business for ten years, and now ten years have passed, and he is ready to compete directly with his brother, in the final analysis, it is still his brother's business, and he has a new dream to build his own Internet empire." ”
"Mukaish's younger brother inherited Xinshi Communications, which was the second largest telecommunications company in India at that time, with a market value of trillions of rupees.
Luo Sheng listened and held his jaw to think, but after a moment, he looked at Zhang Bowen and praised: "I chose to cooperate with Mukaish instead of his younger brother, this is right, I support this approach, although his younger brother Anil is now the leader in the local industry, but no one in Yindu is richer than Mukaishi, this is a game of fighting who has more money." ”
How wonderful the banknote ability is, Luo Sheng has a deep understanding.
In fact, the strategy of Xinshi Communication is the same as the current taxi travel industry and takeaway industry in China, which can burn money in the early stage, squeeze out competitors, and always have a way to make money after monopolizing the market.
Zhang Bowen nodded and smiled: "Mu Kaishi is ready to copy his younger brother's way of defeating Yindu's traditional telecommunications company to do telecommunications business, and then use more money than his brother to drag down the other party, we have done a comprehensive assessment of Yindu's business internally, and we agree that Mu Kaishi will eventually defeat his younger brother accounts for more than 70% of the probability, so the internal consensus is to cooperate with Mu Kaishi, and within three years, Anil will definitely be defeated by his brother with 'money ability'." ”
Bluestar Technology Group has no interest in the bloody plot of other people's roommates, and the biggest purpose is the company's business expansion in Yindu, which is an emerging market of 1 billion yuan.
The layout of Bluestar Technology this time is to replicate the "WeChat" ecosystem in Yindu, of course, it is not an application, WeChat is only popular in China and Southeast Asia, and Yindu people do not use WeChat.
As of November 2015, WhatAPP has 220 million users in Yindu, and the current Internet user scale of the whole Yindu is about 350 million, WhatAPP accounts for two-thirds of the scale, according to the current growth momentum, Yindu's Internet users will reach 600 million in less than three years.
For Bluestar Technology, due to the imminent loss of the North American market, and even the entire international market in the English-speaking region, if it faces failure in the Yindu 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 in order to make a certain name in this market, the UK's largest telecom giant has invested $20 billion in Indo, hoping to become the largest local telecom operator, thinking that it can be easily realized, but the result is a broken head, basically a loss.
Therefore, with the British exploring the way, Bluestar Technology will naturally not repeat the mistake of the British going it alone, and must cooperate with local powerhouses.
Bluestar Technology obviously values the character of Yindu's energy tycoon Mukaish Ambani, and no one in Yindu is richer than Mukaish and wants to get involved in the local telecommunications business and Internet business.
Luo Sheng said: "What kind of cooperation method is roughly? ”
Zhang Bowen replied: "I have been negotiating with Mukaesh for several weeks and have agreed to the acquisition of a 22.7% stake in Jio Platforms, the telecom and broadband division of Xinshi Industries, for $2.85 billion. ”
With this deal, Mukaish wants to help his parent company, Xinshi Industries, which currently has a debt of about $40 billion.
The starting point of Bluestar Technology's willingness to invest in Jio Platforms is very simple, the mobile phone of this telecom company is very popular in the local area, and it is suitable to promote the application service of Bluestar Technology's family bucket, the purpose is to hope that more third brothers can use the software services of Bluestar Technology's family bucket.
Maybe the domestic people who eat melons are now accustomed to 4G Internet surfing, watching live broadcasts, brushing connotation jokes are commonplace, but at the same time, Yindu has not officially promoted 4G network services in 2015.
Mu Kaishi didn't know that Bluestar Technology originally wanted to cooperate with him, so he promised to start in 2016 in Yindu layout4G, in order to be able to pull Bluestar Technology over, not to be cut off by his younger brother, the richest man in Yindu sacrificed his "money ability", promised to come up with the cheapest 4G package in history, Bluestar Technology looked, okay, just play with your buddy, and defeat your stinky brother together.
How cheap is the cheapest 4G package ever?
Free to use for half a year, and then pay 10 yuan a month to have unlimited data, at the same time, Mukaish promised to launch his own semi-smart phone next year Jio-Phone, this mobile phone can not play large mobile games, but has 4G and WIFI functions, can run simple applet applications, 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 girl coins, and it can be fully refunded after three years, which is quite suitable for Yindu's current consumption level.
This Luo Sheng was quite surprised, but he didn't expect the management of Bluestar Technology to find the best partner of Yindu so accurately.
The memory of his previous life made him know that most people in Yindu can afford mobile phone data, and it should indeed be attributed to Mukaish's JIO business, and Mukaish relied on this free killer weapon to defeat his younger brother.
In just 170 days since the 4G service was introduced, jio has gained 100 million local users, 400 million users in three years, and 300 million monthly active users, while Indu has a total of 600 million Internet users three years later, and jio's users account for more than half.
Obviously, this is the fundamental reason why Bluestar Technology values this cooperation.
Zhang Bowen said with a smile: "Mu Kaishi also promised that in the next three to five years, Xinshi Industry will make intensive investment in the local Internet industry, with the aim of penetrating into all aspects of Yindu's public life, promising to invest 50 billion US dollars, vowing to burn out the largest mobile operator in Yindu, and I believe that many venture capital companies will spring up in Yindu this year in the future." ”
Luo Sheng said: "Hehe, such a desperate money, Mu Kaishi does not hide his own e-commerce ambitions at all, using the traffic entrance of the operator Jio, to build an Internet empire outside the traditional business of Xinshi Industry, which is equivalent to Yindu's Huaguo Mobile + Ahri Baba, this is the new dream of the richest man in Yindu, and the cornerstone of this empire is obviously jio and jioMart." ”
Zhang Bowen nodded again and again when he heard this: "Mr. Luo's words can be described as insightful, that's right, before I communicated with Mu Kaishi's video connection, he said that he would vigorously promote WhatAPP in Yindu to be included in the 23 local official languages, and promised that in the near future, he will launch jioMart and WhatAPP to help local 30 million small shops and mom-and-pop shops digitize, connect with customers, and grow, customers can see the nearest merchants on their mobile phones, and place orders to buy various daily necessities." ”
Luo Sheng said indifferently: "The promise is unreliable, and the promise written in the agreement is reassuring." Once this plan is realized, Mukaish will have full control of the retail industry in Yindu, and compared with China, the main force of the retail industry in Yindu is the 30 million mom-and-pop shops. ”
In this battle of science and technology, the focus of people's attention is in the field of chip integrated circuits, because this is the head, which everyone is concerned about, but in fact, it is a comprehensive battle of science and technology, not only involving the field of integrated circuits, but also the Internet and other related fields.
