Global Monopoly of Technology

"This negotiation is still up to you to handle."

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

Lao Zhang nodded and said no problem, he only needs to be responsible for Bluestar Technology Group, and Luo Sheng not only has to be distracted by this company, but also many other companies such as Azure Pure Electric Vehicle Company, Azure Coast, Star Arrow International, etc. Certainly not so much energy to personally lead.

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

Since the implementation of the new strategy of Bluestar Technology Group, the strategy of encircling cities from rural areas has been adopted. Market business in developed countries is cities, while emerging market economic areas are rural areas.

Improving the new performance growth point can not only stabilize the company's stock price, but more importantly, obtain more negotiating chips and fighting ability.

The battle for chip technology that broke out this time will not be settled in a while, and the battlefield is not one place, but multiple places.

Lao Zhang crossed 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 with satisfaction: "It's nothing, as long as the growth momentum is good, it means that the future is promising. We are looking at the performance in the next ten years."

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

Luo Sheng was quite surprised when he heard it: "Mukesh Ambani? Isn't this person in the petroleum and chemical industry? As an energy tycoon in India, why did you come to play IT business with us? It's interesting."

Xinshi Industry Group is a well-known group company in India. However, after the death of the old leader ten years ago, this group company broke out the drama of descendants competing for family property.

And Mukesh Ambani, as his elder brother, controls the oil business of Shinshi Industries, is the largest oil giant in India today, controls the largest oil refinery in the world, and promised his mother that within ten years, he would not Interfere in the business related to the younger brother.

That was all in 2005.

Luo Sheng was just beginning to make his name in the Internet world at that time.

But I also heard about the news of Xinshi Industrial Group. After all, the news about India at that time was almost all reporting the brothers' struggle for family property.

Zhang Bowen said with a smile: "Mukesh initially promised him that he would not be involved in his brother's business for ten years. Now that ten years have passed, he is ready to compete directly with his brother. After all, it is still the business of his jealous brother, and With a new dream, to build his own Internet empire."

"Mukesh's younger brother inherited Xinshi Communication, which was the second largest telecommunications company in India at that time, with a market value of over one trillion rupees. Long before the separation, his younger brother led Xinshi Communication into the mobile market, and the price of mobile phones was greatly reduced. Calls are cheaper than landlines, and it's crushing traditional telcos."

Luo Sheng listened and thought while holding his chin, but for a moment he looked at Zhang Bowen and praised: "It's right to choose to cooperate with Mukesh instead of his younger brother, I support this approach, although his younger brother Anni Ernest is now the leader of the local industry, but no one in Indo has more money than Mukesh, it's a game of whoever has more money."

Luo Sheng has a deep understanding of how wonderful the ability of banknotes is.

The strategy of Xinshi Communication is actually the same as the current domestic taxi travel industry and takeaway industry. In the early stage, the ability to burn money is used to squeeze out competitors. After monopolizing the market, there is always a way to make money.

Zhang Bowen nodded and said with a smile: "Mukesh is going to follow his brother's way of destroying the traditional telecommunications company in India to do the telecommunications business, and then use more money than his brother to bring down the other party. We have done a comprehensive internal process for the Indian business. According to the comprehensive assessment, it is unanimous that Mukesh will eventually defeat his younger brother with a probability of more than 70%, so the internal consensus is to cooperate with Mukesh. Within three years, Anil will definitely be used by his brother with 'money ability' defeat."

Bluestar Technology Group has no interest in the bloody plot of other people's family fighting against each other. The biggest purpose is to expand the company's business in India, which is an emerging market of the order of 1 billion.

The layout of Bluestar Technology is to replicate the "WeChat" ecosystem in Indo, of course it is not an application. Wechat is only popular in China and Southeast Asia, and Indo people do not use Wechat.

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

For Bluestar Technology, since it is about to lose the North American market, and even the entire international market in the English-speaking region, if it faces failure in the Indo 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 to make a name for itself in this market, the UK's largest telecom giant has invested 20 billion US dollars in Indo, hoping to Become the largest local telecommunications operator, thinking that it can be easily achieved, but the result is a bloodbath, basically losing everything.

Therefore, with the British exploring the way ahead, Bluestar Technology will naturally not repeat the mistakes of the British alone, and must cooperate with the local powerhouse.

And Bluestar Technology obviously values ​​the character of Mukesh Ambani, an energy tycoon in India. No one in India is richer than Mukesh and wants to get involved in the local telecommunications business and Internet business.

Luo Sheng said, "What kind of cooperation method is it roughly?"

Zhang Bowen replied: "In the past period of time, I have been negotiating with Mukesh for several weeks and reached a consensus, agreeing that Bluestar Technology acquired 22.7% of the shares for 2.85 billion US dollars, which is the telecom and broadband division of Xinshi Industry. "

What Mukesh wants in this deal is to help his parent company Shinshi Industries relieve its heavy debt burden, which currently has about $40 billion in debt.

The starting point of Bluestar Technology's willingness to invest this money is very simple. The mobile phone of this telecommunications company is very popular in the local area. It is suitable to promote Bluestar Technology's family bucket application service. The purpose is to hope that more third brothers can Use the software services of Bluestar Technology Family Bucket.

Maybe the domestic melon eaters are now accustomed to surfing the Internet on 4G, watching live broadcasts and brushing connotation jokes are commonplace, but at the same time, Yindu has not officially promoted 4G network services in 2015.

Mukesh didn't know that Bluestar Technology wanted to cooperate with him, so he promised to deploy 4G in Indu from 2016. In order to win Bluestar Technology over and not be cut off by his younger brother, the richest man in Indu sacrificed himself. After showing his "money ability", he promised to come up with the cheapest 4G package in history. Bluestar Technology took a look, okay, let's play with you, 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, Mukesh promised to launch his own semi-smartphone-Phone next year, which cannot play large mobile games, but has 4G and WIFI functions , it can run simple applet applications, and can also run the customized version of Bluestar Technology Family Bucket software.

The biggest highlight of this "machine" is that it only sells soft sister coins for more than 100 yuan, and it can be fully refunded after three years, which is quite suitable for Indu's current consumption level.

This Luo Sheng was quite surprised. He did not expect that the management of Bluestar Technology had found the best partner of Indo with such precision.

The memory of the last life let him know that most people in Indu can afford mobile phone traffic, which should really be attributed to Mukesh's business, and Mukesh defeated his brother by relying on this free killer.

Since the provision of 4G services, it has acquired 100 million local users in just 170 days, and reached 400 million users within three years, with a monthly active user of 300 million. After three years, Indu has a total of 600 million Internet users. users accounted for more than half.

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

Zhang Bowen said with a smile: "Mukesh also promised that in the next three to five years, Xinshi Industry will make intensive investment in the local Internet industry, the purpose is to penetrate into all aspects of people's life in India, promised to invest 50 billion US dollars, vowed To become the largest mobile operator in India, I believe that many venture capital companies will sprout up in India this year.”

Luo Sheng said: "Hehe, spending money so desperately, Mukesh didn't hide his own e-commerce ambitions at all, using the operator's traffic portal to build an Internet empire outside the traditional business of Xinshi Industry. , equivalent to China Mobile + Ali Baba in India, this is the new dream of the richest man in India, and the cornerstone of this empire is obviously harmony."

Zhang Bowen nodded and said, "Mr. Luo's remarks can be described as insightful, yes, I had a video connection with Mukesh before, and he said that he would vigorously promote the inclusion of WhatAPP in 23 local official languages ​​in India. And promised that in the near future, he will launch and WhatAPP to help the local 30 million small shops and mom-and-pop stores realize digitalization, establish connections with customers, and gain growth. 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. You can rest assured if you write the promise in the agreement. Once this plan is realized, Mukesh will completely control the retail industry in Indo. Compared with my country, the main force in the retail industry in Indo is. It's the 30 million mom-and-pop shop."

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