Chapter 688 The contract machine of the year
At that year, on the communication network, there has always been the saying of South YD North LT, which means that although these two companies are national communications companies, their main focus is on the north and south.
You have to use YD, otherwise, you have to raise your phone over your head to talk.
However, there are huge economic differences in the south and the north, and there is a huge gap between mobile phone users. The total number of users of YD is more than three times that of LT, which leads to more than three times the income of YD.
So YD began to have more funds to invest in the construction of the southern base station, and even slowly expand to the north, constantly eroding LT's territory.
But on the contrary, due to the lack of user bases, LT has caused the funds to be stretched, let alone expand to the south, and it is difficult to continue maintaining the quality of the communication in the north.
Therefore, LT is a mountain and rivers, and the liabilities are exhausted. Even at the time, YD came out that YD had to swallow LT, and then formed a giant communications company that dominated the country to come out.
It is said that at that time, YD had begun to prepare for a complete acquisition and receiving plan. After starting to prepare for the acquisition of LT, how to receive LT employees and base stations, adjusting their own business strategies, such as how to gently improve the call fee or something.
It can be seen that the LT was really not far from death at that time, but the problem was that LT was not reconciled. At that time, the spring breeze of the 3G network was scratched, so the LT made a decision to be shocked by weeping ghosts at the time.
That is to completely abandon the base station expansion of the 2G network, and then think about borrowing hundreds of billions of yuan funds, and then the decision to build 3G networks in various provinces and cities across the country.
This was a decision to shock everyone at the time. At the same time, they shouted that LT was looking for a dead end. After all, the 3G base station was expensive, and the user's use cost would definitely rise.
Can afford the communication needs of 3G base stations.
More industry experts and scholars vowed to speak on various channels, saying that the 2G base station network is very mature, and it is enough for the people to use it for 30 years. After 30 years, it is the era of 3G networks.
Don't laugh when you see it here. At that time, the people thought so, such as a guy who took a bite of pudding. When he saw this news, he was going to replace his LT card with YD card.
The mobile phone number cannot be used.
But after thinking about it, if the LT closed down, no one would continue to control his mobile phone bill, so he started to use the LT mobile phone card more happily, and then looked forward to the LT closure.
A better future of debt.
No one expected that the decision of LT not only saved himself, but became the location of the iPhone4 in China. After all, if there is no 3G network, the iPhone4's experience is really not as Shuntan from Nokia. After all, those are not those who are not
The stop circle cannot show the app, which will make you have the impulse to smash your phone.
The last person, Tenda launched a mobile app in 2011, named WeChat.
No one can imagine what huge power will erupt when these three are combined.
In 2010, Apple released iPhone4.
At the end of 2010, Apple announced a strategic cooperation with LT. Its iPhone4 mobile phone will be completely bound with LT to become the LT contract machine. In the Huaxia market, if you want to buy iPhone4 mobile phones
In addition to parallel imports, the only way is to buy genuine contract machines for LT.
And because the parallel import industry had not yet developed at that time, except for Huaqiangbei, other provinces and cities in Huaxia basically did not buy such parallel iPhone4 channels, so the only opportunity to buy genuine mobile phones to buy iPhone4 at that time was the LT contract about the LT contract.
machine.
Finally, on January 21, 2011, Tengda announced that WeChat was launched. There is also a real story that is said to be the real story.
Invite the big guys in the circle of friends to experience their own rice chat app.
So 41 days later, WeChat was born.
Although this real story is full of slots that do not know how to vomit, it is undeniable that WeChat was born on this day, and in January, LT iPhone4 contract machines began to sell LT outlets nationwide nationwide.
Then, then
Many young people may not know what the contract machine is, and how it operates.
In simple terms, when the iPhone4 mobile phone was listed in Huaxia, there was actually an official genuine sales channel, which was purchased in the only three Apple shops in the country. The price of a bare metal was 4999 yuan.
Of course, it is difficult to buy, unless you are willing to take a train or plane to run into the three only Apple shops to buy it, and the inventory in the store is limited.
Only a month.
If you don't want to run through the country in this way, there is also a very convenient way to go directly to the largest LT business outlet and apply for iPhone4 contract machines. After handling it, you can directly get a brand new in the business outlets.
IPhone4.
The contract plan at the time was divided into two types, one was 4999 yuan, and the other was 5880 yuan.
And according to LT's promotional caliber, the iPhone4 mobile phone itself is free and it is given to you by LT. As for the 4999 yuan you paid, it is a call fee.
As long as you pay 4,999 yuan at one time, and then do a new LT phone card, LT will send you an iPhone4 phone.
This sounds very good. Although I still have to pay 4999 yuan, not only can I get a brand new iPhone4, but it can also get a 4999 yuan call fee. This fee is at least for five or six years.
There is no need to pay the call fee in five or six years, it is simply beautiful!
But the question is that LT will do such a stupid thing?
Of course, it is impossible. There are consumer contracts for this 4999 yuan.
First of all, you spend 4999 yuan to buy the phone bill, not to hit your account at one time, but to be divided into two years. Each month, you can pay 208 yuan to your mobile account every month.
It happened to be 4999 yuan.
This sounds good. Anyway, it is impossible to use the 208 call fee for a month, and the call fee can be accumulated. It is the same.
However, the iPhone4 contract machine you buy must be used in conjunction with a LT mobile phone card handling on the spot, and this mobile phone card is naturally bound to a contract package of 298 yuan per month.
This package contains 480 minutes of call time, 300 text messages, 100 MMS, free call reminder services, free LT videos services, free color bell services, and the most critical of free monthly free 2
The 3G traffic of a G.
I am afraid that I would like to hit people when I heard this package. I spent 298 yuan a month and got such a gadget? Only 2 G traffic. Can this world still be pitted?
Don't scold, everyone who has experienced the 2G era and 3G era knows that the traffic at that time is expensive, especially in the 2G era, the 1MB of traffic is 3 cents, and there is no set meal.
Money, 100 yuan can only buy 300MB of traffic, and refuse to pay off.
However, it is not because the operators are too dark, but because the cost of laid the base station is too high. If they do not charge this, they will want to recover the cost.
In fact, when the mobile phone just appeared in Huaxia, the phone fee was more outrageous. It took three dollars to use the mobile phone for one minute.
The cost is to pay the cost of paving base stations.
So when LT launched such a 298 package, in fact, as far as the price of traffic at that time, this 298 package was absolutely cost -effective.
But so, the 208 yuan call fee returned each month will be directly consumed in the month. The user must pay at least 91 yuan a month, otherwise the mobile phone will be stopped directly, and the iPhone4 will become a board.
Brick.
In this way, in two years, you must also pay LT to at least 2184 yuan.
In fact, this is equivalent to buying an iPhone4 mobile phone at 4999 yuan in LT, and then spending 91 yuan a month to buy a two -year call package for 298 yuan.
As soon as this contract was launched, many people scolded this contract too dark, and the idiot would be fooled, but the first batch of many contract machines was snatched and often took a week in the morning.
Sold it.
On the one hand, it was because the popularity of iPhone4 was hyped at that time, and on the other hand, after experiencing 2G networks, more and more users found that they could not do without the mobile phone network, and they needed a faster and convenient network to network
Serve!
In the end, many people found that the people around me were using WeChat, and kept talking to mobile phones. Don't be too cool.
Whoever does not have WeChat will be completely outdated, and many even buy an iPhone4 mobile phone in order to use WeChat.
This is the role of peace and place.
In fact, in the era of iPhone4, this is just fermentation. What really reaches the peak is the era of iPhone4s. The consumer's pursuit of the iPhone has a thorough explosion. In addition, Jobs died after the iPhone4s released, so the iPhone4s started through the LT contract machine.
After sales, in half a year, more than 8 million users have been added to LT.
And all these users are all 3G users. They have to call hundreds of yuan each month, so LT's stock price has begun to soar, and various financing continues.
One throne.
So YD and DX could only follow the layout of 3G, but they could not surpass LT's 3G signals. It was not until the layout of 4G in advance before pulling back its own market.
A paper contract, LT and Apple have achieved a win -win situation. At the same time, Huaxia also realized the importance of the YD communication era.
Relying on such a developed network to further improve social creativity and development ability, as well as operation and governance capabilities.
There is also today we use these two -dimensional codes to laugh at Mi Guoren actually use the QR code to control YQ's homework.
Please, do you think that people do n’t want to copy homework?
It is really impossible to copy it, because except for the city, there is no YD communication network in the rest of the rests, and your QR code cannot be used at all. It also prevents a wool.
All in all, these are one by one. If there is a less ring, it is impossible for Huaxia to develop the Tao today.
That question is, who inventing this magical operation of the contract machine? Is it LT?
