Chapter 3038 Strike While the Iron Is Hot (Part 2)

Lao Ma took out a document and said, "Although mobile users currently do not have an advantage compared to traditional PC users, the growth rate in this area is eye-catching."

"Based on the analysis of various aspects, we believe that the focus of the future development of e-commerce will definitely be on the mobile terminal. The vast majority of e-commerce users in the future will come from the mobile terminal,"

The two heads of wealthy families in India both took the report and looked at it seriously.

As Feng Yiping said, only interests related to themselves will be valued by them.

“It was really insightful,” Tata said a few minutes later.

In fact, as people who pay special attention to Feng Yiping, they already have sufficient knowledge and understanding of the importance of mobile terminals, because all products under Feng Yiping have been actively developing mobile terminals for a long time.

Telecommunications operator Ambani looks at it from a more practical aspect, or shirks it, "Our telecommunications facilities are a major factor restricting our development of users."

In India, which has too much infrastructure debt and no one knows when it will be able to make up for it, this is not news. Even Lao Ma knows about this, let alone Feng Yiping, who has attached great importance to India from the beginning.

“So our focus is on major cities with relatively complete infrastructure,” he said.

As for developing users in the vast rural areas of India, that is a task that will take a few years.

"Feng, let them use three months of data for free. The price," Ambani glanced at Ratan Tata, "will be very huge,"

"We don't even rule out that the daily traffic of some users will be as high as tens of gigabytes or even higher,"

He has no doubt that there will be a lot of people surfing YouTube or watching Netflix shows.

This is certainly good for you, but in order to promote the development of e-commerce, do we need to invest so much?

Sure enough, the richer you are, the stingier you become, Feng Yiping said to himself - if Ambani hears what he is saying, he will definitely have a hard time calculating, who is richer between us?

“When it comes to liberalizing use, we can actually add some restrictions,” Feng Yiping explained. “For example, we set a limit for each user’s monthly or daily traffic. Once it exceeds a certain limit, we will limit the speed. ,"

Ambani's interest suddenly increased a lot, this is okay!

This way the total cost is controllable.

Bin Laden's interest has also increased a lot. In this way, this is a good project that can bring them a lot of positive reputation. In fact, the investment may not be large.

But Feng Yiping knew that they must still have doubts about this.

These two shrewd Indian businessmen may be most dissatisfied with this plan. If such a package is launched, the person who will benefit the most is Feng Yiping.

It is conceivable that such new users will definitely buy Android smartphones. One more such user means one more user of Feng Yiping's various products.

“In addition, we are also preparing to launch another similar plan,” Feng Yiping said. “We are screening a place in India. We want to set up at least hundreds of sites in a state to cover most of the local people. , providing free public WiFi access to at least millions of people,"

“We hope that more Indian residents can access the Internet for the first time through our plan. We have also prepared supporting plans and hope to provide Internet-related access and education to Indian women through relevant plans. Engaging in Digital Literacy,”

India, known as the world's largest democratic country, is hard to describe in many aspects.

Just like in some countries, women cannot drive. In India, due to deep-rooted traditional concepts, women are greatly restricted in using mobile phones. On average, this proportion is less than 25%.

Considering that this is an average ratio, the proportion of women using mobile phones, especially in rural areas, is really pitiful.

Feng Yiping also heard that villages in many places in India have passed something similar to a convention, that is, unmarried women are prohibited from using or owning mobile phones. If they violate it, they will be fined more than 1,500 rubles.

In order to make such a convention have a broad binding effect and be better implemented, they have also formulated very effective incentives: whistleblowers will receive one-tenth of the fine!

If you want to see how inhumane such a convention is, you can make a judgment by looking at the income of many people living in slums in Mumbai.

Most of the poor in Mumbai have a monthly income of only a few hundred rubles.

This is of course a tragedy for Indian women, but it is also an opportunity for Feng Yiping Company. In any country, the power of women, if liberated, is huge.

And liberating the power of women is an irreversible historical trend.

What Feng Yiping likes most is to follow such a big trend.

Because, relatively speaking, female users will be better users of many of Feng Yiping's products, such as Facebook family products.

Generally speaking, they prefer to post updates and like their friends...

“We hope that in the end, everyone will have access to the Internet. Although this cannot really solve some people’s livelihood problems, at least it can provide them with additional opportunities and the opportunity to explore their endless creativity. ,"

Lao Ma lowered his head and looked at the materials in front of him seriously. "Tell me, if you were so good at cheating and trying to get ahead in China, how much trouble could I save?"

However, although both Ratan Tata and Mukesh Ambani highly appreciated Feng Yiping's move, they still had no positive response to his previous plan to jointly launch such a mobile package.

These old foxes in the shopping mall will not be fooled easily.

The Tata family originally came from Central Asia, but it only took a few decades to become a well-known wealthy family in India. As early as 100 years ago, the head of the Tata family was the richest man in India. However, later, the Tata family All properties are dispersed into various charitable foundations and trusts. Otherwise, Ambani would not be the richest man now.

In India, which is not very stable, it has been a top wealthy family more than a hundred years ago, and it has continued to be more and more prosperous since then. Of course, it has a strict creed in its actions. From its rise to the present , the most important thing can only be your own interests.

As for Ambani, not to mention, this is a ruthless man who has been fighting lawsuits with his brothers for many years for his father's inheritance...

No matter how noble your purpose sounds, they only care about one thing, whether it can bring benefits to themselves.

Feng Yiping didn't expect them to be as easy to fool as the middle school boys, so he followed up with a hard lesson, "If possible, we are very happy to choose to cooperate with Ambani and your telecommunications company for this free Internet plan."

He looked at Ambani with a smile, "Our current preliminary opinion is that we hope to launch this plan in Andhra Pradesh,"

This is not an arbitrary choice either.

At present, the world's first-class Internet companies have very comprehensive layouts in India's Silicon Valley and Bangalore, but in emerging information centers like Hyderabad, the capital of Andhra Pradesh, they do not invest too many resources.

Feng Yiping hopes to establish his company's dominant position in Hyderabad through this plan.

After hearing this, Ambani obviously couldn't hold it any longer. Andhra Pradesh is the fifth largest state in India, with a population of more than 70 million.

Feng Yiping's plan is to cover one-tenth of the local population, which means at least 7 million people. This is a big plan!

His telecommunications company, of course, hopes to become a contractor for this plan.

"Feng, I'm glad you can make my company your first choice,"

"We are allies and should naturally support each other," Feng Yiping said.

Tata nodded gently when he heard the words. He understood the meaning of Feng Yiping's words. This was to force the two families to express their stance and use Ambani as a breakthrough point.

"I have always appreciated the plan you proposed, Feng," Ambani said. "It's just that we have been verifying the relevant costs, and as a telecom operator, it is our responsibility and obligation to provide such a package. ,"

"So, we've been designing packages that we can independently afford,"

Tata smiled and glanced at Ambani, "You are also very good at flaunting yourself. Are all young people today so thick-skinned?"

Then let me show you the skills of the older generation.

"Let more people understand the outside world through the Internet and then change their own destiny. This is a project of great significance. Tata very much hopes to provide as much support as possible for such a plan,"

"So, we agree with Feng's plan and are willing to provide subsidies for such mobile products,"

"I am very inspired by what you plan to implement in Andhra Pradesh, and I think it is worth emulating by Tata," he said.

"I think Tata Charitable Foundation will also launch a project like this,"

He glanced at Ambani, "When you heard about this project, you only wanted to get business for your company, so my level must be higher!"

Looking at Tata with a thoughtful look, Ambani responded calmly, "Feng, I still hope that my company will independently implement the plan of free data for new smartphone users."

My mind is no smaller than yours!

"No, this is a suggestion I made. Our business in India will obviously benefit from this suggestion, and of course we must provide financial support for this," Feng Yiping said.

Ratan Tata also said, "Tata must also become a partner in this project,"

The Tata Group has been able to survive to this day not just because of its money but also its reputation.

This is a great opportunity to hitch a ride.

"My bottom line, then, is that my company will bear most of the expenses related to this," Ambani said. "At least 90%,"

"With so many mobile users, my telecommunications company is the most direct and final beneficiary,"

"No, that's too high,"

"Yeah, that's too high,"

Lao Ma stayed aside and watched the three business tycoons competing for more money. He was a little confused for a moment. How could this style of painting change so easily?

Am I at a business meeting, or in the legendary land of gentlemen?
