Vol 6 Chapter 896: Outlook

At the Hilton Hotel in Mumbai, Ma, with a smile and a little drunk, said to Owen who opened the door for him, "Hi, thank you!"

"You're welcome," Irving responded in Bel's standard Mandarin.

"Hehe, you are laid back here," Lao Ma looked at Feng Yiping who was sitting by the window, his eyes still rolling.

"Don't look for it, go to sleep," Feng Yiping held up the teapot, which was the best black tea in India. "Come on,"

"As soon as I heard it, I didn't drink less with the old bear,"

I don't know what's going on. After drinking with Xiong Yuliang, many people will unknowingly start talking Northeast China.

Lao Ma smiled, "Hey, I'm in a good mood. Besides, when we are doing projects, we must be in line with world-class companies, drinking, and of course we must be with masters like Lao Xiong."

He drank the cup of tea like a cow chewing a peony, then looked around, "Really asleep? That's good, I'm afraid it will disturb you,"

Feng Yiping looked from the left to the right, but he couldn't see where this guy was a little afraid of interruption.

"Everyone is very excited and very confident," Lao Ma described the following state.

Feng Yiping nodded, "Can understand,"

Lao Ma buried himself in the sofa, "Yes, I can understand,"

After all, India is the single market with the greatest potential besides my country.

Regarding India, the think tank provided Feng Yiping with a number of reports. One of the most critical data is population. They generally believe that India will surpass us around 2025.

By then, the total population of India will exceed 1.4 billion, of which urban residents will exceed 500 million.

How many opportunities will there be in a market of this size?

What's more rare is that this is a market that lags behind us in the development of related industries, and it is a rare market for us to occupy many advantages including technology.

In terms of the high-tech field represented by IT, although India has some advantages in this field in a certain sense, for example, India’s current share of the global outsourcing market is close to 50%. It has approached a scale of 100 billion US dollars and is a well-deserved leader in the global outsourcing industry.

In this industry, although our growth rate has been rapid in recent years, in general, at least in this field, we can only be regarded as a follower, a follower of India.

Fortunately, in the IT field, India only has an advantage over us in this respect, or that this fully represents the different strategies between India and ours. In the IT field, India is a comprehensive export-oriented development strategy.

Their outsourcing has achieved the first place in the world, but unfortunately, in other aspects, whether it is the portal site at the beginning, or the social e-commerce field, Indian companies have not done much.

In these respects, our advantages can be said to be leading in the world.

Developing in such a market is psychologically easier than developing in Europe and America. Just like the development of the domestic Internet industry, most of them directly copy the model of European and American companies. India is a good way to copy our domestic development model. local.

"But I feel that in the days to come, it will not be too easy," said Lao Ma. "It can be seen that all multinational companies know the importance of the Indian market."

Feng Yiping nodded, "That's natural. In terms of market smell, European and American companies will only be more sensitive than us."

From a global perspective, the only countries with more than 250 million Internet users are the United States, China, and India. Brazil, Japan, and Russia, which are in the second echelon, have less than 150 million users.

Although the current number of Internet users in my country far exceeds that of other countries in the world, and is growing at a high rate every year, on the whole, it is getting closer and closer to the critical point, that is, the saturation of popularization.

But look at India again, because the current Internet penetration rate is low, it will be the country with the largest increase in Internet users in the world for a long time to come.

In this regard, Feng Yiping also received several reports.

From the development experience of Europe, America and my country, generally speaking, the Internet penetration rate in rural areas will always be at a relatively low level. Therefore, it can be said that the final number of Internet users in a country will slightly exceed the urban population. Quantity.

However, considering that 50% of India’s rural population is located in rural areas near cities, they believe that when the total population of India exceeds ours in the future, it is conservatively estimated that the number of Internet users in India will reach about 600 million in 2025.

However, Feng Yiping believes that this data is still somewhat low. This data does not take into account the popularity of cheap mobile phones in India in the future.

If this situation is taken into account, it is not impossible that India will have 800 million Internet users by then-although some of these users will not contribute much to the income of Internet companies due to revenue reasons.

But in any case, the total number of Internet users in India will exceed the total population of Europe in the future. This is a very high probability.

On the whole, India is a country that is quite open in this respect, so all the Internet high-tech companies in the world have already got together in India.

"That's why we have to seize the opportunity, lay our advantages in many ways, and make achievements as soon as possible," Feng Yiping said.

This is also the main reason why he has invested so much in India recently and launched such a large propaganda offensive.

"And Southeast Asia," he said seriously, looking at Lao Ma, "this is also a market that cannot be ignored,"

Lao Ma immediately said, "Indonesia, Indonesia, we will develop well,"

He thought about it, and poured a cup of tea for Feng Yiping, "Hehe, that's really a place beyond my expectations,"

Indonesia is their next stop. At that time, they will meet Meyer and Zuckerberg.

Because of the outstanding performance during the tsunami that year, in Indonesia, Xiao Zha's image is very good. It should also be because of this reason that Indonesia has become Facebook's second most important market in Asia.

The total number of Facebook users in Indonesia is currently in Asia, second only to India, and has exceeded the 60 million mark, and the growth rate is equally astonishing.

According to current trends, in the next 5 years, the total number of Facebook users in Indonesia will surely exceed 100 million.

Optimistically, by then, this number is likely to be half of the total population of Indonesia, or even more, that is, in Indonesia, the total number of Facebook users will also likely exceed 150 million.

This means that Indonesia, a country that is easily overlooked in many aspects, will very likely become the third country in the world in the number of Facebook users after the United States and India. From the current data, South America is a major country. Brazil is a strong contender for this position.

But in any case, the fourth position in the world, it will certainly not escape.

In Indonesia, their problem is how to rely on the good situation of Facebook to drive the development of other projects, such as e-commerce, and Twitter.

Feng Yiping picked up the tea cup, "Lao Ma, in the long run~www.wuxiaspot.com~ From a global perspective, where do you think we should increase our efforts in the future?"

"This," Ma said only after thinking about it, "In the long run, I think it should be Africa."

"Although parts of Africa have been turbulent, but overall, the total population of Africa in the future will exceed 2 billion. That is probably not a problem."

"In other aspects, such as infrastructure, India, if it is equivalent to our level in the 1990s, Africa will lag further behind. This has also led to Africa’s Internet penetration rate, which is currently the lowest in the world."

"But it also means that as long as the situation in this area improves, the number of Internet users in Africa will increase at a rapid rate that we can't imagine."

"To talk about our development in Europe," he glanced at Feng Yiping, "It seems that except for that follow-up visit, you rarely go there again?"

"Haha," Feng Yiping smiled, "Why didn't you go,"

He went there a few times later, but mainly on vacation.

In the interior of Africa, as well as Palestine, Israel and other countries that are often in the news, he does go less, and there is no way. The older the rivers and lakes, the less courage.

Even if Cummins proposed very early that in order to integrate the supply chain, several countries in Africa should jointly or independently invest in related minerals, he has not taken any action.

Not only is he worried about himself, he is also worried about the personal safety of the employees that this brings.

"So," he patted the old horse heavily on the shoulder, "I will leave this important task to you, comrade."

"I know, I do the dirty work, of course," Lao Ma said very self-aware, and then stood up excitedly, "Just wait and see!"

Looking up, it happened to be a plane that cut through the night and flew up to the sky...
