Chapter 2836 Joint Venture

Not only Zhou Buqi, but also the people around him have the same view.

Facebook wants to come to China, but it is impossible.

Let alone the subsequent development.

The first step of access is impossible!

However, I don’t know whether these Americans don’t understand the domestic market or they are still coveting the huge domestic market. They come to China again and again, which really has the spirit of Yugong moving mountains.

Sheryl Sandberg is very beautiful, but now she is old, in her forties, and she ages very quickly. But her beauty can still be seen in her smiles and smiles, saying: "This time, we have to take a different approach. Zhou, please don’t stop us!"

Zhou Buqi was a little amused and said sincerely: "Shirley, this really has nothing to do with me. With my relationship with Facebook, even if everyone in the country would stop us, I wouldn’t."

Sheryl Sandberg was very confident, "This time, we will definitely succeed."

Zhou Buqi shook his head.

No matter what plan they took, it would be impossible. Because Facebook is just a commercial company, and what prevents them from coming to China is never something at the commercial level. Even if you can create more jobs and provide more tax revenue, it is difficult to cross that threshold.

Sheryl Sandberg said: "This time, Facebook can make a big concession and adopt a joint venture model."

"Joint venture?"

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows.

Sheryl Sandberg said: "Yes, this time, we will no longer insist on sole proprietorship. According to our understanding, many industries in your country are developed by foreign companies in a joint venture model. For example, Disneyland, McDonald's, Ford, Toyota."

"Such a joint venture model..." Zhou Buqi was a little surprised, "This kind of joint venture, domestic capital holds 51% of the shares, and foreign capital holds 49%."

Sheryl Sandberg nodded, "I know."

Zhou Buqi said: "This policy joint venture model, the main partner is state-owned enterprises."

"I know."

Sheryl Sandberg smiled slightly.

Zhou Buqi looked at her deeply.

This is really bold.

This concession is really big.

In order to enter the domestic market, Facebook really knelt down.

However, let alone kneeling down, there is no chance even if it lies down.

Sheryl Sandberg continued: "We plan to cooperate with China Mobile to establish a joint venture and operate in the mainland market in full accordance with relevant laws and regulations. According to my understanding of this market, China Mobile used to have strong strength and influence in the Internet field, and launched products that are popular among the people. However, with the advent of the mobile Internet era, China Mobile does not seem to keep up with the times."

"Yeah."

"I think this is also an opportunity for China Mobile. Cooperating with Facebook, Facebook can help them quickly complete the transformation in the new era, regain influence in the Internet field, and gain a place!"

"Very good idea."

Zhou Buqi was also somewhat impressed.

It is not easy for a group of foreigners to find such an angle to cut in.

She is right.

After entering the mobile Internet, China Mobile's life has been very difficult. It has become a victim of industrial development. Many products of Internet companies are OTT models that continue to bypass China Mobile's business.

In the past few years, China Mobile has had unprecedented influence in the Internet field.

For example, China Mobile Dream Network.

Including Penguin, all survived by relying on Mobile Dream Network.

Take Fetion for example.

Once considered a groundbreaking product, it quickly occupied the university market after its launch and was rapidly promoted among young people and white-collar groups. It has already shown a trend of becoming a national-level communication product...

However, the Internet era is changing too fast.

Mobile Internet came with a bang.

Ziweixing launched WeChat.

The market structure changed immediately.

Fetion was still developed on the basis of SMS business, but it was very cheap and still had to be charged. WeChat is different. It is completely OTT and completely bypasses SMS business. All services are free.

Moreover, the product design is simpler and more friendly.

It is also more convenient in the process of getting to know strangers. It even provides functions such as "drifting bottle" and "shake" for men and women to chat up, which immediately touched the edge of "yellow", greatly satisfying market demand.

Since then, Fetion's active users have become fewer and fewer.

Today, many people have forgotten Fetion, a once popular product. Times have changed. Although Fetion has only been launched for a few years, it is a product of the previous era and has deviated from the mainstream of the times. Mobile companies obviously do not understand the Internet well enough and have not made timely corrections to adjust the strategies of their products. They can only be eliminated by the times.

If Facebook joins in and cooperates with China Mobile...

It will be a huge opportunity for mobile companies.

China Mobile wants to establish a joint venture with domestic Internet giants, such as Ziweixing, NetEase, Alibaba, Sina, Baidu, and Penguin, and hold a 51% stake. This is impossible. Private big bosses know what is going on and are unwilling to accept it. Not to mention holding a 49% stake, even if it is a 51% stake, they will not accept it.

Foreign companies are different.

Especially Facebook.

It is almost impossible to enter the domestic market. Holding China Mobile's thighs and taking a joint venture to obtain a license in the name of China Mobile and indirectly enter the domestic market is the last option.

On one hand, it has obtained an entry ticket to enter the domestic market; on the other hand, it has obtained an entry ticket to enter the Internet industry.

Each takes what he needs!

How good?

This is indeed a good plan.

The national team has no competitiveness in the Internet field. No matter what academician scientist's project, or a project that spends a lot of money to invite celebrities to build, or a state-owned company under a university, it is difficult to have a place in the Internet field.

The domestic Internet market can be said to be the most competitive and cruel market in the world.

Maybe it will work if Facebook is brought in?

At this time, everyone had finished lunch.

They were mainly talking about this matter.

This was the main purpose of Sheryl Sandberg's visit to China. After she talked about such a plan, she was very happy to see that the other party was silent. She asked: "Zhou, do you think my plan is okay?"

Zhou Buqi smiled, "Theoretically, it's a good idea."

He finally understood.

Why did Zuckerberg, who can speak fluent Chinese, not come to China, but let Sheryl Sandberg, who can't speak Chinese, to wade into this muddy water.

This is too embarrassing!

Rushing to cooperate with China Mobile, and voluntarily lowering his status to only hold 49% of the shares, giving the majority shareholder and veto power to China Mobile... This plan is really embarrassing. Where is the basic ideal and pursuit of a world-class Internet entrepreneur?

Relying on this 49% stake, can you make some shocking decisions to change the world and the market?

This is impossible!

It's nothing more than making money.

Naked money-making is really embarrassing for a large company of Facebook's level.

Shirley Sandberg asked, "Can you introduce me to Mr. Wang from China Mobile?"

"Yes, of course." Zhou Buqi had no reason to refuse, but he kindly reminded her, "However, even if you show all your sincerity and are willing to make great sacrifices and concessions at all levels, this road still won't work."

"Ah?" Shirley Sandberg was slightly stunned, "We can help China Mobile develop, and China Mobile is a state-owned enterprise. Isn't this in the national interest? Isn't it in the interests of the people?"

Zhou Buqi wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh at all.
