The car came out from the north gate of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission on Xuanwumen West Street and followed the service road on the side of the West Second Ring Road to the Gongxin compound.
Wen Liang and Xi Dong didn't waste any time and rushed to Gongxin for the meeting.
It's also a small meeting.
The only members present at the meeting were Lao Miaotou and two deputies, Wen Liang, Xi Dong, and a confidential secretary who was responsible for the minutes of the meeting.
The theme this time is naturally different.
As usual, there was the inevitable greeting, and then Dong Xi briefly reported on the work: "The 4G base station pilot work is going smoothly. Based on the research on related businesses by several departments, it is believed that part of the user-oriented 4G pilot work should be carried out;
We hope that by cooperating with Xinghai 1, the TD-LTE 4G standard of Bolang Terminal, we can partially promote the user pilot work and create more favorable conditions for the transition to 3 and 4G."
After Mr. Xi finished speaking, Wen Liang also gave a work report with a smile: "The research of Bolang terminal on the new generation of broadband wireless communication network is progressing smoothly, and more practical pilot experiments are urgently needed to verify..."
"Cooperation with China Mobile is what we look forward to."
Everyone in the conference room was surprised by the gentle tone of the report.
Now who doesn’t know that Bolang Terminal has undertaken several special research tasks?
The two deputies expressed their recognition for the work of China Mobile and Bolang.
Then Wen Liang put forward a little idea by the way: "In order to make it more convenient for users to better experience the new era and new bandwidth, we hope that leaders can consider reducing user tariffs..."
Of course Wen Liang found a bunch of high-sounding reasons.
You can think that he is doing it for the majority of users, or you can think that he is an unscrupulous businessman with a dark heart and will never miss the slightest opportunity to promote Bolang's large social ecosystem.
Despite this, the atmosphere in the conference room was relatively harmonious.
You come and I talk.
Lao Miaotou basically didn't speak, his face was calm, no emotion could be seen, and he was not at all 'cute' like when he was at home.
In the end, it is of course the result of seeking common ground while reserving differences.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has partially approved it, and some have stated that it will be internally studied and decided later.
…
The two meetings held at the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology were a bit strange in terms of theme, not to mention the attitude of China Mobile.
It's actually not complicated inside.
Nowadays, Wen Liang and Bolang Terminal are involved in everything. It is true that China Mobile really has no choice.
Apple, which has enough influence among international brands, has not approached China Mobile for cooperation in the past few years.
Among domestic brands...forget it, domestic brands now have a lot of influence.
China Mobile has put in a lot of effort to convince Xiaogaoliang, which is developing rapidly, to develop a mobile version of the Mi series of mobile phones. However, considering the situation of the domestic industrial chain, Boss Lei finally had to develop a low-end smartphone. Forget it, the result was
The horse also had dystocia.
At this time, the highly sought-after Xinghai 1 came out.
Not only did it come out, Wen Liang also took the initiative to produce 100,000 units of TD-SCDMA Xinghai 1 with full sincerity to discuss cooperation.
Whoever becomes a mobile executive can only win over Wen Liang and Bolang Terminal.
Bolang Terminal does not have a mobile version, and it is difficult to ignore this very thick 'life-saving straw' for mobile.
Some things may seem past on the surface.
But there are people inside and outside paying for it.
In addition, the shocking failure of 3G has left China Mobile less confident in the commercialization of the TDD-LTE 4G standard, which is partially extended from TD-SCDMA.
Although China Mobile conducted a 4G pilot in Hangzhou in March last year, the pilot method was conducted by receiving equipment and converting WiFi signals.
However, cost considerations and political requirements left China Mobile with no choice.
Upgrading TD-SCMDA to TD-LTE is relatively cheap and reusable;
The coverage of this standard is of great necessity.
Of course, from a technical point of view, TDD basically has no pitfalls. Even if there are, they are far less big than TD-SCDMA.
However... how should I put it, China Mobile has a bit of 3G PTSD, and is really afraid of being cheated. With the ready-made helper Bolang Terminal, China Mobile is reluctant to let go.
China Mobile’s budget investment in 4G this year is hundreds of billions, and the subsequent budget investment is about 300 billion. Bolang Terminal is a small expert in pulling the strings. In the worst case, selling more Xinghai mobile phones can at least smooth out the numbers.
Based on an investment of 400 billion, it would be enough to sell 100 million units. Based on the popularity of Star Ocean 1, the goal is relatively easy to achieve.
This is the inner thought of mobile almost openly.
So, Dong Xi took Wen Liang to a meeting with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and completely finalized the solution to fill the 3G pit, turning a bad thing into a good thing in name, buying less orders, and giving Bolang a favor, actively reducing or even canceling low-end products.
Customized machine business.
Then he dragged Wen Liang to a meeting with Gongxin, and applied for priority to carry out some 4G actual test points, insuring his own 4G business, and also sending some large centralized procurement orders to Bolang Terminal.
I lifted Bolang Terminal several times over and over again, and was lifted up by Bolang Terminal several times.
In short, everyone is happy now.
Of course, if you say that there is no factor in Wen Liang's personal ability or background, you won't believe it.
Originally, it was Wen Liang who led Bolang to single-handedly challenge the three major operators' extravagance and waste in the customized phone business. Instead, China Mobile took the lead in taking the initiative to announce its plan to cancel the business. There are some interesting tricks here.
It should be said that the decline was indispensable.
The 'electronic waste' they created, they kept stirring up trouble, they shorted their own stocks, etc., gave Wen Liang too many reasonable entry points that could be exploited.
…………
After the two meetings, Wen Liang politely declined Dong Xi's warm invitation, saying that he needed to deal with some difficult matters. Dong Xi expressed his understanding, and the two parties separated at the gate of the Industry and Information Technology Co., Ltd.
Everyone got in the car and left.
As soon as the car on the front foot merged into the traffic flow, Wen Liang's cell phone rang on the back foot.
It's Lao Miaotou's phone number.
The old man got straight to the point: "What do you think about the tariff issue?"
Wen Liang said frankly: "There will be a lot of commotion next. If people like Boss Liu want to jump in, there must be a reason to stop everyone. It is indeed something that is beneficial to people and should have been implemented long ago."
The old man over there thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Is the cake big here?"
"Huh?" Wen Liang was stunned, "Are you asking me?"
Lao Miaotou explained: "Of course we have relevant investigation reports, both positive and negative. I want to hear your perspective."
Wen Liang replied: "On the surface, there is no mention of cake, and there is no mention of it behind the scenes. Technically, there will be no extra cost, and the money will not go into private pockets. From my point of view, this is a matter of the official right to speak."
After listening to Wen Liang's answer, Lao Miaotou was silent for a moment and then said: "Today's matter was handled quite beautifully. He Zong Lian Heng played well. The business affairs were perfectly resolved through business means. It's very good."
"Let me give you a heads up, there will be some other actions on the part of the state-owned assets."
Wen Liang was confused: "What action? Is it possible that the three major operators have not tightened their profligate behavior even at this point?"
"Think for yourself." Lao Miaotou did not explain and hung up the phone after finishing speaking.
…
Later, Wen Liang received another call from Zhang Sanshi.
"Mr. Wen's skill is an eye-opener for us!" Zhang Sanshi complimented with a smile, "I was a little worried that the situation would get worse."
"Boss Liu is old and unwilling to listen to others' advice. This is very bad."
"Since ancient times, there has been a saying that harmony brings wealth. I didn't expect Boss Liu to understand this simple truth..."
Finally, Zhang Sanshi said: "Mr. Wen's main dish is beautifully cooked. We will not disappoint Mr. Wen with some of the side dishes."
Wen Liang just laughed and exchanged a few words.
He didn't know what Zhang Sanshi and the others were going to do.
He didn't bother to care either.
During these days in the capital, Wen Liang was not busy with many things, but he felt quite a lot.
On the contrary, the cooperation was originally based on interests, so we cannot rely on their ‘conscience’.
Zhang Sanshi and the others didn't do anything.
It's precisely because I haven't done anything that it's a little... hard to describe.
It was also a matter of peace, and Wen Liang was given some face, at least not letting Bolang get into a big fight, but Boss Liu did a lot of things, which caused an indescribable uproar in the city!
However, if adults do something wrong, someone will eventually have to pay for it.
…
Then Li Ze made a phone call.
I briefly mentioned a few rumors.
"Beijing is really a city with no secrets at all." Wen Liang sighed with a smile, "It seems that suddenly the whole world knows the contents of the meeting we held at the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology."
Li Ze also laughed: "Indeed, but we didn't expect you to be able to pull off such a trick. It's going to be fierce."
Wen Liang didn't say much.
In the past few days, Bolang has been relatively conservative as a whole and has not made any big moves.
It belongs to watching from the side.
Bolang will continue to do this in the future, but there are no guarantees in other aspects.
…………
…………
At three o'clock in the afternoon on January 21, 2013, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission issued a notice to the three major operators.
The notice requires China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom to cut marketing expenses by 20% within three years!
Clearly require the three major operators of China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom to significantly reduce the marketing expenses of subsidizing mobile phone manufacturers!
As the news spread, the three major operators have yet to take any action, and rumors are already spreading.
Many reports pointed out:
According to estimates, China Mobile alone will need to reduce marketing expenses by at least 24 billion yuan within three years, and the three major operators will need to reduce marketing expenses by more than 40 billion yuan in total within three years.
According to this calculation plan, it means that China Mobile's marketing expenses in 2012 were at least 46.875 billion.
So it is not difficult to see how profitable this market is.
China Mobile, which proactively proposed to cancel the original cooperative mobile phone business, released news of adjusting its strategy one hour after the state-owned assets notice was issued.
There are:
In 2013, the overall mobile phone subsidy amount will be reduced by 20 billion yuan.
Gradually cancel orders from unqualified cooperative manufacturers.
Gradually transform into a mid- to high-end contract sales business.
Simultaneously study the issue of reasonable reduction of package fees.
The previous strategies are all understandable, but at most they are a bit overly ambitious. The last important strategy adjustment leaves people familiar with the matter confused.
Is there a problem with reasonably reducing package rates?
The sun comes out in the west?
However, people who are really knowledgeable about this issue will not explain it casually now. After all, the Industry and Information Technology Corporation has not decided yet, and people who have only a little knowledge cannot explain it. It can only become a topic of discussion.
China Unicom and China Telecom are not too slow either.
Immediately afterwards, the adjustment strategy was released.
Both families are quite ruthless.
They all indicate that the overall mobile phone subsidy amount will be reduced by 10 billion in 2013. As for the gradual cancellation of various subsidy businesses, that is what the title should mean.
Whether it is China Mobile or China Unicom, the top priority in strategic adjustments is to significantly reduce the lowest-end white-brand customized machines.
Because these machines used to be given away in the name of "recharge phone bills and get a mobile phone", they were the cheapest, worthless and most replaceable.
The cold winter of the so-called "Chinese Cool Alliance" has just arrived this winter.
The speed of landing is so fast that it doesn't look like the style of the unit -
PS: There was a message in the last chapter saying that the plot of "Lenovo" is too long. I have nothing to say. The real confrontation chapter is only Chapter 11 in this chapter. I really don't know that Lenovo is so arrogant in the eyes of the elders.
