Su Wang was unable to attend some high-level meetings, or lost the opportunity to express his opinions and attitudes. However, relying on his popularity among college students, Su Wang made public opinions change by giving speeches at hundreds of schools.
The Internet is no longer filled with rumors about WeChat charging, but more discussions about whether WeChat charges, and whether operators really want to charge higher service fees from WeChat.
Discussions on this aspect are divided into several major factions, some supporting WeChat and some supporting operators.
After all, WeChat has indeed seized the interests of operators, but from the perspective of social development and progress, with the development of science and technology, it is inevitable that new technologies will gradually replace old technologies.
Moreover, WeChat has not really completely replaced text messages and phone calls. In many cases, people still use phone calls to communicate. Furthermore, although the operator's revenue is lost, it is compensated in terms of data traffic.
In the past, when people chose packages, they looked at which packages offered discounts on making calls and sending text messages. Now, when choosing packages from carriers, they look at which package offers more and cheaper data.
This is already the trend of the current era, and operators have nothing to do even if they are unwilling to accept it.
"Mr. Su, Mr. Chang may not be free in the morning..."
"That's okay. I'll see Mr. Chang again in the afternoon."
"We always have a party group meeting to hold in the afternoon, and I'm afraid we don't have time."
"Mr. Qian," Su Wang's eyes narrowed, and he looked at the senior executive of China Unicom who had the most dealings with him with a playful expression, and said: "We have known each other for a long time, so we can talk openly about some things. Chang always doesn't want to
It's not like you have time to see me."
"Mr. Su, look at what you said. How could our Mr. Chang miss you? You are now our very good partner. Our cooperation has always been very close. Our Mr. Chang has wanted to meet with you, Mr. Su, several times.
.”
Deputy General Manager Qian had a smile on his face, and his words were not flattering. Although China Unicom's portfolio was larger than all the companies under Su Wang combined, China Unicom, which had just been reorganized, was also facing many problems.
How to compete with two old rivals and how to maintain one's market competitiveness and superiority.
This problem has troubled China Unicom's senior management for a long time. Until a few years ago, a cooperation between China Unicom and Su Wang allowed China Unicom to find a new development direction.
Data traffic!
With the help of the bundled sales of Apple mobile phones, China Unicom's sales have developed rapidly. At the same time, a conclusion has been drawn from the package selection and package usage of high-end users such as Apple mobile phones.
The future is definitely an era of network data, and people's demand for data traffic will exceed SMS calls.
With this result, China Unicom's senior management made a move, which was to vigorously develop 3G. At the same time, Su Wang's Sutang Film and Television cooperated to launch an exclusive phone card package and targeted free use of data.
These measures have allowed the number of China Unicom's users to rise rapidly, and it has continuously grabbed users from China Mobile. After all, China Mobile has almost no layout in 3G.
"Mr. Qian, let's do this. You can report to Mr. Chang again and say that I have something to discuss with him. This matter will affect China Unicom's ranking among the three major operators in the next ten years."
When Su Wang said this, his expression was very serious. Deputy Manager Qian stared at Su Wang carefully for a few seconds. In the end, his expression also became serious. He nodded and left the living room again, facing the president at the innermost side.
Go to the manager's office.
Within two minutes, the door to the general manager's room was opened, and the first person who came out was not Vice President Qian, but Chang Xiaojun, the head of China Unicom.
"Mr. Su, I'm really sorry that I didn't pick you up. You came to my place. Why didn't you go directly to my office? You still asked me to inform you. You're too unreasonable."
Seeing Chang Xiaojun walking towards him with a cheerful face and a hint of dissatisfaction in his words, Su Wang's mouth twitched. The faces of these old tricksters were really bright.
"Let's go to my office to talk."
Chang Xiaojun took Su Wang's hand and walked towards his office. The secretary had already made tea. After the two of them were seated, he walked out and closed the door, leaving the two of them to talk privately.
space.
After some polite words, Su Wang stopped going around in circles and said directly: "Mr. Chang, our company and China Unicom are close partners. Mr. Chang, you choose to put pressure on WeChat together with China Mobile and China Telecom. It's a bit unreasonable."
.”
Chang Xiaojun was not surprised at all by Su Wang's questioning. What he was confused about was why Su Wang could endure so long before coming to confront him. If it were him, he would have come here a few months ago.
But this also let Chang Xiaojun know that this young man is not easy to deal with. If he can tolerate it for so long, then he must be confident when this time comes.
"Mr. Su, our company is different from yours. Your company is centered on Mr. Su, but we are connected because there were several departments before the combination. Although they were merged together, the interests of each department within the department are still the same.
We take it very seriously, and even I, the general manager, can’t do anything about it.”
Chang Xiaojun looked helpless and had a headache, and continued: "Just a few days ago, an old comrade who was originally from China Netcom came to my side to make trouble. I said that there was a plan to send traffic.
, which affected the income of their department. After talking in my office for more than an hour, I finally persuaded this old comrade to go back."
"Take the matter you mentioned, Mr. Su, for example. Because of WeChat, the text messaging and call services of our company department have indeed been affected. Colleagues in these two departments have great opinions. I have no choice but to
Can you stand up and show your attitude?"
"But Mr. Su, don't worry. I just talk casually in the media about how we should cooperate or how we should cooperate. I think the latest generation of Apple 5 series mobile phones are very good."
Hearing Chang Xiaojun's words, Su Wang was almost angry. Chang Xiaojun had such a wishful thinking.
While putting pressure on himself with China Mobile Telecom in front of others, he continues to cooperate with himself and gain benefits from it. All the good things in the world of love must be taken over by him.
"Mr. Su, I believe you can understand my difficulties."
"I do understand Mr. Chang's difficulties, so when your company challenged WeChat, I did not go to Mr. Chang to question him immediately. This time I came to ask Mr. Chang. I have a plan that can make China Unicom surpass
Regarding telecommunications and mobile, I wonder if Mr. Chang is interested?"
Su Wang decided that he didn't dare to go any further with Chang Xiaojun, and directly explained his purpose.
“More than mobile and telecom?”
There was no surprise on Chang Xiaojun's face, because Deputy Manager Qian had already reported to him Su Wang's tone of voice. If it had been anyone else, he would have thought that the other person was just talking nonsense.
Nonsense.
"Mr. Su, we have been competing with China Mobile and Telecom for so many years. We have strengths in our respective fields, but we haven't said that one company can overwhelm the other two."
"Of course I know this. Take the current situation as an example. With the number of fixed broadband users increasing significantly, China Telecom is far ahead in the fixed broadband field. Although China Unicom merged with China Netcom, it is still the leader in this regard.
It is not as good as China Telecom, let alone China Mobile, which is the overlord of mobile networks."
"I know that China Unicom has invested a lot of manpower in developing 3G network and has made it the fastest and strongest in the country. In contrast, China Mobile has not made any achievements in 3G. However, I heard that China Mobile seems to be building a comprehensive network.
4g base station.”
When Su Wang mentioned Mobile 4G, Chang Xiaojun frowned, but still nodded. As a fellow operator, he was also very clear about Mobile's strategic goals.
"Yes, China Mobile believes that the future is the 4G era, so they have invested heavily in 4G. But in my opinion, 4G will take at least several years. If 3G is not done well, how can we do 4G."
Chang Xiaojun's attitude is not surprising to Su Wang, because China Unicom did not do much layout for 4g in the previous life, which caused it to quickly fall behind after experiencing the glorious era of 3g. Even if the 4g traffic package provided later is far more favorable than mobile, but
It is difficult to attract mobile users.
The reason is very simple, because there are not enough base stations, and your signal base stations are not enough. No matter how cheap it is, what is the use of slow network speed or no signal?
In Su Wang's view, if China Unicom can make a big move into the 4G network, it will definitely be able to seize more user markets as its current traffic packages are more favorable than those of China Mobile and Telecom.
Because traffic charges are still quite expensive at this time, China Unicom can definitely join forces with some Internet companies to launch preferential packages such as targeted traffic packages to attract users.
Of course, in Su Wang's view, the number of users in the next four years will determine the operator's fundamentals, and it will be too difficult to make changes in the future.
The reason is very simple. Four years later, with the cancellation of long-distance roaming, most people will not choose to change their mobile phone numbers. In the past, you had to change your mobile phone when you left the province for work, otherwise the long-distance roaming charges would be too expensive.
Now that there are no long-distance roaming charges, changing a mobile phone is like asking for trouble. First, you have to notify your relatives and friends one by one that you have changed your mobile phone number and ask them to save it. Secondly, at that time, all software products on the Internet implemented a real-name system.
, you need to bind both your ID card and your mobile phone number.
If you change your mobile phone number, you have to change a lot of things, especially for young people who have downloaded and registered many software accounts. Unless they have to, they would rather not have a card than apply for a new card.
Therefore, the years between now and 2017 when long-distance roaming is canceled will be the most fundamental years for the three major operators to determine who is stronger and who is weaker.
ps: Yes, I am getting more and more panicked. My coughing has almost stopped, but I feel a little feverish. It hurts when I press it between my eyebrows. I also have runny nose. I took medicine early yesterday morning and went to bed.
Take medicine for another day today. If you are still not feeling well tomorrow, go to the hospital for a check-up. I have never been in contact with people from Wuhan. It should be a common cold or flu. I stopped watching the news. The more I read, the more panic I get!
