Chapter 591 [Layout and chips]

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

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

Lao Zhang nodded and said that there was no problem. He only needed to be responsible for Blue Star Technology Group. In addition to being distracted by this company, Luo Sheng also had Blue Pure Electric Automobile Company, Blue Coast, Star Arrow International and many other companies, so he definitely did not have so much energy to dominate himself.

Luo Sheng looked at him and continued: "Lanxing Technology lost its North American business, and it became more important to seek new growth points. The first year after the strategic reconstruction has almost passed. How is the business development in emerging market areas going on?"

Since the implementation of Bluestar Technology Group's new strategy, it has taken the strategy of surrounding cities in rural areas. The market business in developed countries is cities, and emerging market economies are rural areas.

Improving new performance growth points will not only stabilize the company's stock price, but more importantly, it will gain more bargaining chips and ability to fight against attacks.

This time the chip technology dispute will not be settled in a short while, and the battlefield is not one place, but multiple places.

Lao Zhang crossed his legs and said, "The progress is good, and the growth of new users is the most intuitive reflection. However, the current value potential of these users is much weaker than that of the user value in market areas of developed countries."

Luo Sheng nodded with satisfaction: "This is nothing. As long as the growth momentum is good, it means that the future is promising. What we are interested in is the performance in the next ten years."

Zhang Bowen continued: "The biggest highlight is the expansion of the Yindu business segment. Oh, by the way, when it comes to the Yindu area, Mukaishi Anbani, the new leader of Xinshi Industrial, will personally lead a business group to sign an important business cooperation the day after tomorrow."

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

Xinshi Industrial Group is a well-known group enterprise in Yindu. However, after the death of the old leader of the group ten years ago, the group company broke out in the scene of descendants competing for family property. In the end, it did not break up completely, and it was considered a peaceful separation.

As his elder brother, Mukaishi Anbani controlled Xinshi Industrial's oil business. He is the largest oil giant in Yindu today. He controls the world's largest oil refinery and promises his mother that he will not interfere in the business related to his younger brother within ten years.

That was all in 2005.

Luo Sheng had just begun to take the title in the Internet industry at that time, but he also heard about the news about Xinshi Industrial Group. After all, almost all the news about India at that time reported on the two brothers' dispute over their property.

Zhang Bowen smiled and said, "Mu Kaishi promised him not to interfere in his younger brother's business within ten years. Now, ten years have passed and he is preparing to compete directly with his younger brother. After all, he is jealous of his younger brother's business and has a brand new dream to build his own Internet empire."

"Mu Kaishi's younger brother inherited Xinshi Communications, which was the second largest telecommunications company in Yindu at that time. Its market value was over one trillion rupees. Long before the separation, his younger brother led Xinshi Communications into the mobile market, with a sharp price cut. The mobile phone bill was cheaper than the landline, which defeated traditional telecommunications companies."

Luo Sheng listened and thought with his jaw on his back, but then looked at Zhang Bowen and praised: "It is right to choose to cooperate with Mu Kaishi instead of his younger brother. I support this approach. Although his younger brother Anil is now the leader in the local industry, no one in Yindu is more rich than Mu Kaishi. This is a game where anyone can compete for more money."

Luo Sheng has a deep understanding of how wonderful the money power is.

Xinshi Communications’ strategy is actually the current domestic taxi-hailing industry, the food delivery industry is the same as the one in China. It competes for money-burning ability in the early stage and squeezes out competitors. After monopolizing the market, there will always be a way to make money.

Zhang Bowen nodded and smiled: "Mu Kaishi is planning to copy the way his younger brother defeated the traditional telecommunications company in Yindu to do telecommunications business, and then use more money than his younger brother to drag down the other party. We have conducted a comprehensive and comprehensive assessment of the Yindu business internally, and unanimously agreed to defeat his younger brother in the end, so we agreed to cooperate with Mu Kaishi. In less than three years, Anniel will definitely be defeated by his brother with his 'money ability'."

The story of someone else's fight in the same room, Blue Star Technology Group has no interest at all. The biggest purpose is the company's business expansion in Yindu, which is an emerging market of 1 billion.

The layout of Bluestar Technology this time is to copy 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.

In Yindu, the only national-level application is whatapp, a cross-platform chat application under Bluestar Technology Group. As of November 2015, whatapp has already had 220 million users in Yindu, while the current Internet user base of all Yindu is about 350 million, and 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 international market in the entire English-speaking region, if it faces failure in the Indian market, it will be a serious strategic mistake, which is something that Bluestar Technology cannot accept.

Recently, Bluestar Technology is actively seeking to launch payment functions in Yindu, based on the application of whatapp, but wants to make a name for itself in this market. The largest telecommunications giant in the UK invested US$20 billion in Yindu, hoping to become the largest telecom operator in the local area. It thought it could be easily achieved, but it ended up traumatizing and basically lost all its money.

Therefore, with the British exploring the way forward, Blue Star Technology will naturally not repeat the mistakes of the British alone, and must cooperate with local strong people.

Bluestar Technology obviously valued the character Mukaish Anbani, the energy tycoon of Indu. No one in Indu is richer than Mukaish and wants to interfere in the local telecommunications and Internet business.

Luo Sheng said: "Basically, what kind of cooperation method is there?"

Zhang Bowen replied: "I have reached a consensus in negotiations with Mu Kaishi for several weeks over the past period of time, agreeing that Bluestar Technology will acquire a 22.7% stake in jioplatforms for US$2.85 billion, a telecommunications and broadband division of Xinshi Industrial."

What Mu Kaishi wants for this transaction is to help his parent company Xinshi Industry reduce the heavy debt burden, which currently has about US$40 billion in debt.

The starting point of Blue Star Technology is willing to invest in jioplatforms is very simple. The mobile phone of this telecom company is very popular in the local area and is suitable for promoting Blue Star Technology's family bucket application service. The purpose is to hope that more third brothers can use Blue Star Technology's family bucket software services.

Perhaps the domestic melon-eating people are now accustomed to surfing the 4G online. Watching live broadcasts and browsing connotations are commonplace, but at the same time, Yindu has not officially promoted 4G online services in 2015.

Mu Kaishi didn't know that Blue Star Technology wanted to cooperate with him, so he promised to start 4g in Yindu starting from 2016. In order to win over Blue Star Technology and not be intercepted by his younger brother, the richest man in Yindu sacrificed his "money ability" and promised to bring out the cheapest 4g package in history. When Blue Star Technology saw it, OK, let's play with you guys and defeat your stinky brother together.

How cheap is the cheapest 4g package ever?

Use it for half a year, and then you can have unlimited traffic by paying 10 yuan a month. At the same time, Mu Kaishi promised to launch his own semi-smartphone jio-phone next year. This phone cannot play large-scale mobile games, but it has 4g and wifi functions, can run simple mini-program applications, and can also run customized versions of Blue Star Technology's family bucket software.

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

Luo Sheng was quite surprised. He did not expect that the management of Blue Star Technology found the best partner of Yindu so accurately.

The memory of the previous life made him know that most people in Yindu can afford mobile phone traffic, which should indeed be attributed to Mu Kaishi's Jio business, and Mu Kaishi relied on this free killer to defeat his younger brother.

Since providing 4G services, Jio has gained 100 million users locally in just 170 days, hitting 400 million users within three years and reaching 300 million monthly active users. 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 smiled and said, "Mu Kaishi also promised that in the next three to five years, Xinshi Industry will make intensive investments in the local Internet industry, with the goal of penetrating all aspects of the lives of the Indian Du public, and promised to invest 50 billion US dollars, and vowed to burn out the largest mobile operator of the Indian Du. I believe that in the future, many venture capital companies will spring up like mushrooms after a rain."

Luo Sheng said: "Haha, I spent money so much, Mu Kaishi did not hide his own e-commerce ambitions at all. He used the traffic entrance of the operator Jio to build an Internet empire outside the traditional business of Xinshi Industry, which is equivalent to the China Mobile + Alibaba of Yindu. This is the new dream of the richest man in Yindu. The cornerstones of this empire are obviously jio and jiomart."

Zhang Bowen nodded repeatedly when he heard this: "Mr. Luo's words are obvious. Yes, I had a video link with Mu Kaishi before. He said that he would promote whatapp to be included in 23 local official languages ​​in the Indian Du region, and promised that in the near future, he would launch jiomart and whatapp to help 30 million local small stores and husband-and-wife stores to digitalize, establish connections with customers, and achieve growth. Customers can see the nearest merchants on their mobile phones and place orders to purchase various daily necessities."

Luo Sheng said calmly: "The promise is unreliable, and you can only feel at ease when writing the promises in the agreement. Once this plan is realized, Mu Kaishi will completely control Yindu's retail industry. Compared with my country, Yindu's retail industry's main force is the 30 million husband-and-wife store."

In this technology battle, people's focus is on the field of chip integrated circuits, because this is the top and everyone is paying attention to it, but in fact it is a comprehensive technology battle, which not only involves the field of integrated circuits, but also includes the Internet and other related fields.
