The launch of WeChat did not cause much of a commotion.
Other than a few Tencent companies paying attention to it, the rest did not pay much attention to it.
At this time, most people were more concerned about reducing data usage fees.
On April 1st, it was not just Mobile. Unicom and Telecom also reduced their data usage fees.
These two companies had no choice but to make this decision.
Actually, the promotion of 3G was to limit the monopoly of China Mobile. This could be seen from the issuance of the 3G license.
The government actually hoped that the three companies could narrow the gap.
That was why when the licenses were issued, Unicom was given the WCDMA license and Telecom was given the CDMA2000 license.
These two systems had been successful internationally, and they had mature operating models and standards.
Only Mobile got the TD-SCDMA license from Hua Xia.
This meant that Mobile had to start from scratch and operate this new model independently. There was no reference.
In the beginning, Unicom and Telecom had the upper hand. When 3G smartphones first appeared, including OPPO's first smartphone, they all used these two companies' specifications.
But when Mobile's TD-SCDMA appeared, OPPO even decided to customize 30 million TD-SCDMA phones for them, and Mobile and Far away reached an agreement to lower data usage fees, the situation changed.
After the three companies' product launch, TD-SCDMA phones suddenly became popular.
In the first place, there were already more mobile users than them.
Many people were not willing to change their numbers. But because there were no smartphones that supported Mobile's specifications, these users could only choose to support the other two companies' 3G phones.
Now that there were TD-SCDMA phones, and Mobile had taken the initiative to lower data usage fees, the users who were used to using their own mobile numbers would naturally choose to return.
On April 1st, all three companies introduced new data usage plans and charging standards.
Take the 5 RMB plan for example. Previously, the charging standards were different.
However, in many places, there were 5 yuan or 10 megabytes of data packages. Data exceeding the package cost between 0.01 to 0.03 yuan/K. In other words, for 1 megabyte of data exceeding the package, the cost would be as high as 10 to 30 yuan.
But now, all three companies reduced the charges and increased the data usage within the plan.
Take Jiangbei for example. On April 1st, the data usage of the 5 RMB plan reached 30 MB. The extra data usage cost was also reduced to 1 RMB per MB.
Originally, each level of data plan could only be ordered once.
This time, Mobile had launched a data refueling package service. The same level package could be ordered three times.
Topping up on Distance PP and Wantoon would also be able to enjoy a discount of about 10%.
As a result, users became more enthusiastic about using the 3G network.
On April 1st alone, more than 5 million users had ordered traffic services on PP and MantCom!
According to Mobile's statistics, there were about 6 million users who used SMS and mobile's own top-up system.
Even if it was the lowest-grade data plan, on the 1st, the data top-up fee would be more than 50 million yuan. In fact, this income would only be more!
At this time, many users did not have the habit of ordering packages.
Moreover, the 2G users also had the habit of surfing the internet. Including these users, just on this day alone, just the traffic revenue alone had exceeded 100 million!
The first of the month was usually the peak period of income. However, there were not many 3G users at the moment, and there would only be more in the future. Moreover, many users were used to the 3G network, and the traffic would definitely not be enough.
In the middle of the month, there would definitely be another climax of ordering packages!
According to the analysis of Mobile's professionals, if everything went smoothly in April, the traffic revenue alone could exceed 2 billion yuan or even more.
In the second half of the year, this figure might double. This possibility was very high.
If everything went smoothly, it would not be difficult for the traffic revenue to exceed 40 billion yuan in the whole year.
…
Pingchuan.
Far away Building.
April 2nd.
Li Dong was talking to Mobile's Wang Jianzhou.
On the other end of the line, Wang Jianzhou was in a good mood. He laughed and said, "General Manager Li has good foresight. Previously, the industry said that General Manager Li has good foresight, and I was still skeptical. Now, it seems that I was the one who took advantage of my seniority. When Far away signed the 36 billion VAM with Mobile, many people felt that General Manager Li might lose a large sum at the end of the year. But now, it has been proven that we are all old. "
In 2008, Mobile's traffic revenue was 12 billion yuan. In 2009, Li Dong signed the 36 billion VAM with them, and the increase was as high as 300%. Mobile did not really believe it.
According to their estimates, it would be better than expected if they could exceed 25 billion yuan this year.
In the end, everything showed that the 36 billion yuan target at the end of the year was not an extravagant hope.
Wang Jianzhou's purpose in making this call was not to praise Li Dong. After chatting for a while, Wang Jianzhou laughed and said, "General Manager Li, about the settlement of top-up fees …"
According to the previous agreement between the two parties, the users who top-up through the Wantoon would not settle the settlement with Mobile for the time being.
And because of the discount on the Wantoon, the proportion of users top-up through the Wantoon would only increase. It would definitely exceed half of the users.
Moreover, it was not just top-up for traffic. The Wantoon could also top-up for phone bills.
When the users got used to top-up their traffic on the Wantoon, it was only natural that they would continue to top up their phone bills.
Just from this source of business, the Wantoon could accumulate more than 2 billion yuan every month. In the future, there would only be more. 3 billion yuan or even more would not be a joke.
Previously, when Li Dong signed the VAM with Mobile, the settlement of the funds was also included as a condition in the contract.
On Mobile's side, they had agreed on a quarterly settlement with Far Away.
The three-month backlog of funds was very likely to exceed 10 billion yuan or more. As long as the contract between the two parties continued, Far Away could always use more than 10 billion yuan, just like their previous cooperation with suppliers.
But if they used it, Mobile would suffer losses.
They also had cooperation with Alipay, but there were no conditions for quarterly settlement. Alipay itself did not participate in this aspect of business. Instead, it was provided by some channel providers.
The settlement period between Alipay and the channel providers was usually about a week or so.
The settlement period between the channel providers and Mobile was also about a week or so.
It was just that they did not think too much about it previously. In addition, Far Away had indeed made a lot of concessions, including a backlog of 36 billion yuan, which was why Mobile had agreed on a quarterly settlement.
Now that they saw the results of No.1, Mobile felt a little pained.
About 10 billion yuan of funds had been accumulated on Far Away. Just the interest alone was not a small figure.
Moreover, for enterprises like them, an additional 10 billion yuan of liquidity was not as simple as interest.
The moment Wang Jianzhou brought up this topic, Li Dong laughed and said, "Mobile's annual revenue is more than 400 billion yuan. This is just a small amount, CEO Wang, do you still care about it?
Moreover, didn't we sign an agreement?
CEO Wang, go and ask around. Other than me, Li Dong, who dares to make such a promise?
Mobile and Telecom have been looking for me to discuss this matter every day. Not to mention quarterly settlement, they are even willing to pay annual settlement!
CEO Wang, you can't take all the benefits when doing business, right?
Mobile eats the meat, and I drink the soup. That shouldn't be a problem, right?
In the end, you are not even letting me drink the soup. To put it bluntly, if this goes on, who will be willing to cooperate with you?
In the future, there will be more opportunities for us to cooperate.
Moreover, some of the applications that Far Away has launched are to increase your income. We are spending money to promote our business, but in the end, everyone is still using the traffic. Isn't that all money?
I did not mention about the share because I, Li Dong, do not care about these things.
Just say that Tencent is using your channels to do their own value-added business. Did they pay you?
I, Li Dong, at least share the benefits, but not Tencent.
CEO Wang, how about this? Find an opportunity to cut off all the traffic channels for Tencent and Ali's applications. When that happens, I will pay monthly settlement with you … "
Before he could finish, Wang Jianzhou laughed dryly and said, "We still have the spirit of the contract. I was just saying casually. General Manager Li, please don't mind me. Then, I shall not disturb General Manager Li anymore. Let's talk again when we are free. "
After saying this, Wang Jianzhou quickly hung up.
Li Dong, this fellow, really dared to say such things!
If they really did this, they would be complained to death.
Ma Huateng, Ma Yun, and Ma Huateng working together to cheat Tencent, Tencent, and Ma Yun could really sue the whole world.
Li Dong only needed to do this kind of thing. Mobile would not get involved.
Although Tencent's businesses had taken over some of their business, after so many years, the impact was not too big. Wang Jianzhou will not do anything stupid to become the target of criticism because of this matter.
… …
After Old Wang hung up the phone, Li Dong ridiculed, "I finally realized that Old Wang is a sly old fox. How great will it be to work with me? When our WeChat voice system is launched, how much traffic fees can they earn … "
The few people in the office laughed dryly and did not say anything. Yes, they will earn traffic fees, but the launch of WeChat voice will also cause their voice calling business to suffer losses.
Whether this loss is big or small, and whether it is worth it or not, it is hard to say now.
All these will depend on WeChat's influence and the number of users. Once there are too many users, the major operators' voice calling fees will be affected.
Luckily, Li Dong and Mobile had reached an agreement, and unless the other party suffers huge losses, they will not fall out immediately.
Li Dong did not continue this topic and laughed. "Old Wang, you want me to settle the fees with them immediately? Dream on.
But it is a pity that the contract is only signed until next year.
This is a three-month period, and the funds will be more than 10 billion!
Many people do not know that we have a better and more convenient way to top up our accounts. Mobile's revenue last year was more than 400 billion, and this year will be more.
Even if we don't snatch all of their business, just a quarter of it will be more than 100 billion for the whole year, and 25 billion for the quarter.
We can use this money until next year at least.
With more than 20 billion, we will have an easier time.
By next year, we should not be short of money. "
After he finished, Liu Hong laughed. "General Manager Li, this money is settled through MasterCard …"
Li Dong glanced at him and said calmly. "You do not need this money. Return it to the headquarters.
Far Away City cannot be delayed any longer. Even if we issue bonds in the future, we cannot issue them in the name of real estate. So, the money from the bonds cannot be used on Dong Yu Real Estate.
The original plan for the 10 Far Away City projects was to be put into operation within 2 years.
Now, half a year has passed, and the projects are still dragging on. This cannot be allowed.
Mobile does not have that much money now, but the Far Away City project cannot be done overnight. We will invest slowly.
This fund will be used to invest in Far Away City, and the rest will be used to build the residential area for employees.
Also, we will find a time to sell off some of the land we bought earlier. Now that the real estate market is picking up, we will use a portion of the funds to repay the debt, and the rest will be used to continue to invest in Far Away City! "
Wu Shengnan, who was sitting in the corner, heard this and her eyes lit up!
These few days, Li Dong had almost forgotten about the real estate company. This made the people at Dong Yu Real Estate feel uncomfortable.
In addition, there were rumors that Li Dong might have reached an agreement with Longhua to take over Dong Yu Real Estate. This made them even more restless.
But now, when they heard Li Dong say that Mobile's money would be used to invest in Far Away City, and that they would sell off the previous land to continue to invest in Far Away City, Wu Shengnan suddenly became interested.
After Li Dong finished speaking, Wu Shengnan immediately said, "General Manager Li, is there a plan to invest in Far Away City this year?"
Li Dong said angrily, "Did you not take my words seriously?
During the annual meeting, didn't I say that this year's plan is to invest in more than 20 Far Away City? Now, there are more than 10 cities away from the target. If we don't invest, do you think that I, Li Dong, only know how to talk nonsense?
There are more than 30 cities in Hua Xia's provincial capitals and municipalities directly under the Central Government.
There are also some economically developed coastal cities. Last year, I said that there were 100 Far Away City and 1,000 Far Away City. That was naturally bragging.
But around 50 Far Away City is what I really need.
Dong Yu Real Estate will focus on urban complexes in the future, and the investment in this area will not be small.
Of course, this investment is not small. It is not uncommon to invest 300 to 500 billion for 50 large-scale urban complexes.
In terms of funds, there will be pressure. Even if Dong Yu Real Estate sells off the land, it is still far from enough.
But it's okay. Part of it is to look for the banks, and the other part is to wait for the return of the funds. This is not a task that can be completed overnight. We can just take it slow.
In the future, when we are famous, we can even take the land for free.
This is something to be discussed in the future. Dong Yu will come up with a plan soon. First, choose 10 cities for me to look at. The first choice is Hua Xia.
As for the money, we can take it slow. If it is not enough, we will think of other ways.
Let's not talk about Dong Yu today. Let's mainly talk about the Weibo financing. If there is nothing else, you can go back first. "
Although Wu Shengnan wanted to ask more, Weibo had nothing to do with her. Li Dong also asked her to come up with the plan first, so Wu Shengnan could only stand up and leave.
The other executives who had nothing to do with Weibo also left.
Previously, when Li Dong held the executive meeting, they came. Now that they were talking about Weibo, there was no need for them to listen in detail.
