Chapter 529: Rushing for business, shocking the communications industry
The monthly rent of China Mobile is 50 yuan, and that of several other telecommunications companies is similar. China Telecom is a little cheaper, only 30 yuan, but the network of China Telecom is not good.
If you include the broadband fee in the dormitory, it will cost 60 to 80 yuan a month.
In 2004, the average monthly living expenses for college students was only about 500 yuan, and some from poor families might only have about 300 yuan.
In other words, a student's communication expenses can basically account for about 1/5 to 1/6 of the entire living expenses.
Calculated over a year, this is not a small expense.
Therefore, although the package provided by Mozi Communications is very beautiful, what Li Toyota and others are most concerned about is whether they will pay or not.
And by 2004, Xia Guo was recognized by users as one of the three major telecommunications providers.
Of course, there are also some small private communication providers in some places, which also use the base stations and services of these three major communication providers.
If Mozi Communications were not a communications company affiliated with Changtian Technology, Li Toyota and the others would probably turn around and leave without even looking at it. The golden brand name of Changtian Technology is still very attractive.
Wen Qi said: "This is a 3G network test conducted by Mozi Communications, so it is free, but we need your help to ensure the activity of our mobile card number so that the communication company can collect relevant data."
"Of course, you can rest assured that we will never collect users' private data. We will only use the frequency of users' Internet access, network effects, call duration and quality, etc. for analysis."
In 2004, not many people mentioned personal privacy, so even if Wenqi emphasized that he would not collect users' privacy, Li Toyota and others did not care, they only cared about spending money.
Li Toyota and his roommates became excited when they heard that it was free of charge.
Li Toyota took out a half-smoked cigarette from his bag (students, in order to save money, would stub out unfinished cigarettes each time and put them in the box, and continue smoking next time), and then felt that in the business hall,
And it was not good to smoke in front of Chen Xiao, so he put the butt of the cigarette away.
"It really doesn't cost anything?" Li Toyota confirmed again.
"It really doesn't cost anything." Wen Qi took out her 3G mobile phone (Sony Ericsson).
I clicked on the web page on my mobile phone, and clicked on some pictures and videos, etc.
Because Mozi Communication's 3G base stations have been built near the university town, Wenqi's 3G mobile phone has very fast network speed.
In the 3G era, don’t expect to use data to watch movies or TV series, because even if the Internet speed reaches the standard, the data is not enough.
In order to test the real usage situation of users, Mozi Communication did not open unlimited traffic to testers this time.
In the 3G era, the most common uses for users to use 3G mobile phones are browsing the web, chatting, reading novels and listening to music.
If this is the way to use it, then the 50 MB traffic included in the package and the 200 MB traffic included outside the package are completely sufficient.
And don’t underestimate the impact of mobile phone network speed on experience.
The difference between 2G network and 3G network is still very big.
For example, if you want to read a novel, it may take dozens of seconds to refresh on a 2G network, and there is no way to completely refresh the page. But if you are using a 3G network, it will take just a moment.
What this kind of experience brings to users is the difference between happiness and unhappiness.
While showing her mobile phone, Wen Qi said to Li Toyota: "You can rest assured about the call quality and network speed. I am now using our own 3G network of Mozi Communications."
Wen Qi handed the phone to Li Toyota. Li Toyota tried it and sure enough, the Internet speed was much faster than his Nokia mobile phone.
Although Li Toyota's Nokia mobile phone is also a so-called 3G mobile phone, there is no 3G network in China, so it can only be used as 2G.
Wen Qi clicked on the web page, and the web page refreshed instantly, displaying relevant content. Similarly, Li Toyota took out his Nokia phone and clicked on the same web page. The white circle circled for a long time but there was no internet connection.
Li Toyota thought about the time when he usually uses his mobile phone, that is, at school.
Currently, Mozi Communication's 3G card can only be used in Jiangzhou, but this is completely enough.
Li Toyota can completely shut down his mobile number and protect it. The insurance fee is only two yuan per month. He uses Mozi Communication's 3G card when he is in school, and uses China Mobile's 2G card when he returns home during the holidays. Such a combination
Perfect.
Without saying a word, Li Toyota and his classmates immediately applied for several 3G cards of Mozi Communications and became the first batch of users of Mozi Communications.
One of the students also wanted to apply for a 3G card from Mozi Communications, but his phone was a waveguide phone and did not have 3G function, so he had to give up.
Wen Qi saw this situation and was going to report it to Wang Xiang.
The penetration rate of 3G mobile phones among college students is actually not high now.
Unless you are using a foreign brand mobile phone such as Nokia, Ericsson, etc., then it may be a 3G mobile phone. But if you are buying a domestic brand 2G mobile phone or even a copycat mobile phone, then it is useless even if you use a 3G card.
Li Toyota immediately inserted the Mozi Communication mobile phone sim card into his mobile phone and clicked to access the Internet. The speed was indeed several times faster than the mobile sim card he used before, which made him feel refreshed.
[Influence +5]
It is absolutely impossible for people who have used 3G networks to return to 2G. This is the truth of the communications industry.
After returning to school, many students in the class also learned about this, especially those who used 3G mobile phones. They went to Mozi Communications to apply for 3G cards. Anyway, it was free of charge, and it was free of charge.
The internet speed is pretty fast.
After all, Jiangzhou University is a key university, and it belongs to and is located in the capital of Jiangyang Province. The number of mobile phones with 3G functions in the school accounts for about 10% of all mobile phones, and Nokia mobile phones account for the majority.
10% does not seem to be a high proportion, but considering that Jiangzhou University Town has as many as 40,000 to 50,000 people (the mobile phone penetration rate among Jiangzhou college students and teachers is about 80%), there are still more than 3,000 people.
In just a few days, Mozi Communication suddenly became popular among college students in Jiangzhou.
Free package includes free calls, free time, free data and free text messages. What could be more attractive than free?
In an instant, a large number of students and teachers went to the two Mozi communication business halls of Jiangzhou University to apply for Mozi communication cards.
Within a week, China Mobile, the largest communications company in University Town, instantly received up to 2,000 applications for outage and account protection.
At this time, the person in charge of Jiangzhou University Mobile Company was completely confused!
what is happening?
Not only China Mobile, but also the country is aware of this 3G test.
This is Xia Guo’s first 3G network test and achieved very good results.
Many national media went to Jiangzhou University students to report on it.
"Renren Daily" "Mozi Communications Company, a subsidiary of Changtian Technology, tested the 3G network in Jiangzhou for the first time. As many as 2,000 people experienced the 3G network within a week. Its speed is four times that of the 2G network!"
Relevant reports have also been seen by some large companies in the communications industry.
What they saw was terrible market demand!
It’s not that everyone is unwilling to consume food, it’s that you have been feeding shit to consumers.
Everyone suddenly woke up!
At this time, Chen Xiao, Wang Yu and Song Yi had already boarded the plane to Shanghai.
