Chapter 535 The Status Quo of the Wireless Market

For the SP wireless business, Zhou Buqi has been paying attention to it for more than a year.

It's always been confusing.

The current web pages and web pages are designed for the PC side. If you open the web page through the mobile phone side, the layout will be disordered. UC Browser has spotted this direction and developed a set of algorithms that can intelligently convert web page graphics on the PC side into pages that can adapt to mobile phone screens.

Now, UC Browser has more than 5 million installations, which means that mobile phone users can use UC Browser to log in to websites, watch news, download ringtones, play small games, etc. through UC Browser.

Only the exchange volume fee is required, and no service fee is required.

Because these services are free on the PC side, it just changes the platform from a computer to a mobile phone.

However, this operation is too complicated for most people. You need a UC browser, and then use a search engine to find content and filter it... For some novice users, it is a bit complicated.

Just in this era, the vast majority of users are novices.

For example, if you want to watch Sohu News on your mobile phone, you will not search manually, but you will have to spend the SP service fee to subscribe to the news content on a monthly basis.

If it was in the past, it would be okay, because the content of the monthly subscription may not count traffic, that is, no traffic fee will be spent.

But now is the cold winter period. In order to increase the income of this business, China Mobile has changed its strategy. For monthly subscription and on-demand content, not only the service fee but also the traffic fee must be paid.

This undoubtedly greatly increases the Internet access costs of mobile phone users.

If it is downloading music, which consumes a lot of traffic, China Mobile can share the traffic fee with SP manufacturers. If it is text content, the traffic consumption is less, and more is the share of the subscription. Or directly convert it into SMS form, and share it with the SMS service fee.

To sum up, this process is that the cooperative company hands over the content to China Mobile, and then China Mobile transfers it to mobile phone users. Then mobile phone users hand over the money to China Mobile, and China Mobile distributes the income to partners in proportion.

Enterprises cannot face-to-face with users directly, and Monternet must act as a middleman in the middle.

The service must be terrible.

When smartphones become popular, major companies will be able to launch their own apps to serve users face-to-face. That will be the real mobile era.

Of course, it is impossible to completely bypass the middleman. The operator is bypassed, but how can the mobile phone manufacturer be bypassed? How to bypass the operating system platform? An Apple store can make businesses fascinated.

In contrast, Apple’s tax is only 30%, and Android mobile phone manufacturers will collect 50% of the game tax, which is considered low.

Cooperation with Monternet is 70% to 30%.

The mobile side gets seven, and the content side gets three.

What's more, it's eighty-two.

This year, because the SP business has entered a cold winter, China Mobile's strategy has also begun to change, expressing its willingness to share more profits with merchants, such as opening on June 4th. For some particularly good companies with particularly high value creation, the 50-50 split can be achieved.

From this perspective, now is indeed the best time to enter the SP business.

The icing on the cake is worse than sending charcoal in the snow!

The days of China Mobile are not easy, and the boss has come to solicit customers on his own initiative. Cooperating with them can be regarded as a good relationship, which will facilitate future cooperation in other areas.

Zhou Buqi went downstairs in person to see Mr. Xie off.

Said that this is a major issue, not good at it, and will discuss it with colleagues later.

Then, he planned to go to the top floor to talk to Zhang Chaoyang about the SP business.

Let's make a phone call first, but unexpectedly, he is really not in the company.

"I'm not in the capital."

"Going on a business trip?"

"What's the matter? I just lost my love. I'm in a bad mood. I plan to go out and relax."

After hearing this, Zhou Buqi almost fainted.

I said in my heart that you are really good at pretending, you and Gao Yuanyuan are also called being in love? Are you fooling around?

But he didn't want to care about these nonsense things, so he walked up the stairs and asked with a smile, "Where are you going?"

"Arctic."

"What?"

"Go to the North Pole!"

"I rely on it!"

Zhou Buqi was stunned, and just wanted to say one thing—Old Zhang, you are so flirtatious!

At the same time, I also felt a little absurd in my heart.

Zhang, now Sogou and Weidian are fighting!

At such a critical moment, why don't you take command of the company and go to the North Pole to see the bear? Aren't you afraid of raging bears?

Zhang Chaoyang seemed to be exercising for the Arctic expedition, panting, "What's the matter, tell me quickly, I'm busy."

Zhou Buqi said: "I just want to ask, what do you think of the wireless business?"

"Pretty good!"

"Good?"

"Well, in the second quarter, Sohu's wireless revenue was more than US$8 million, an increase of more than 30% compared to last year."

The pace under Zhou Buqi's feet slowed down slightly.

Coincidentally, Ning Yaxian, the secretary who was following behind him, bumped into his ass with a pretty face.

Zhou Buqi glanced back at her, and still said calmly: "Isn't it the winter period for the SP business, why has it grown so much?"

Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile: "It's true that it's cold winter, but our buddies wear a lot of clothes and are in great shape. We are not afraid of going to the North Pole, but are we afraid of the harsh winter?"

"I don't have time to talk to you!"

"Hey! Xiao Zhou, you have to understand the fact that the sales of mobile phones are getting higher and higher, and there will be more and more mobile Internet users. There are 120 million Internet users in the country, but there are 100 million mobile Internet users. Don't you think it's scary?"

Zhou Buqi laughed angrily, "100 million? At least 80 million are passively surfing the Internet without anyone knowing it? I think it is too wise for the country to rectify SP chaos."

Zhang Chaoyang seems to have rested, and there is less noise nearby. He said with a smile, "Xiao Zhou, you don't know much about SP services. Do you know about ring tones and multimedia messages? These are all SP services. If users use these functions, even mobile phones Internet users."

It turned out to be a matter of statistical rules.

Zhou Buqi heaved a sigh of relief, but he was still secretly surprised.

Sohu's wireless revenue in a quarter is 8 million US dollars, and after a year... it will exceed 32 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 250 million Chinese yuan.

Even if there are 100 million users, the per capita contribution is 2.5 yuan.

However, Sohu's wireless value-added services can barely rank among the top five in the country, and there is still a long way to go with giants like TOM, Penguin, and Sina.

China Mobile is really powerful.

The level of fleece is really high.

Zhang Chaoyang continued: "Wireless business is definitely a general direction. Don't be afraid of the cold winter. Winter is coming, which means that spring is not far away. After this period, the SP market will develop healthily. I estimate that by next year, mobile Internet users There will be more netizens than PC users.”

Zhou Buqi felt that his statistical method was too nonsense, what kind of mobile phone Internet access are CRBT and MMS. There are at most 20 to 30 million users who can actually use mobile phones to surf the Internet.

"The wireless revenue in the second quarter is really 8 million US dollars? Zhang, are you kidding me?"

"Of course it's not a joke. Our financial reports are all public. Didn't you read them?"

"How did you do it? Just rely on Sohu News?"

"Isn't this the World Cup? It's a hot topic. Other than that, it's music and games. Next, we'll try to connect video content to Monternet's video base."

Zhang Chaoyang is really a good person, he doesn't hide anything.

Competition is competition, but as a friend, it is really loyal. He doesn't care much about many things in business, and lives as he pleases, with a bit of a Taoist temperament.

Zhou Buqi felt a little sorry, coughed lightly, "By the way, let me tell you something, Xu Liangjie has taken a fancy to Gong Yu."

"Um?"

"The two of them have met quite a lot in the past half a month, and many of their ideas are quite consistent. I heard that Gong Yu was in charge of the World Cup business before, and now that the World Cup is over, he seems to want to change jobs?"

Zhang Chaoyang frowned directly, "Xiao Zhou, don't mess around!"

"What's wrong?" Zhou Buqi pretended to be at a loss.

Zhang Chaoyang said angrily: "It's not that you poach people on purpose, and you're here against me, aren't you?"

Of course Zhou Buqi didn't admit it, "Old Zhang, how long have we known each other, don't you know my character? If I really want to poach someone, can I tell you in advance? It was Xu Liangjie who wanted to poach someone, but I stopped Let him go together and say to ask what you mean first."

Zhang Chaoyang said in a deep voice: "Gong Yu, you can't move. The World Cup is over, but the Olympic Games will be coming soon. Sohu has spent a lot of money in order to get the Internet copyright. This is the most important business of Sohu at the moment. Don't give it to me." Add to the chaos."

Zhou Buqi said: "Of course there is no problem here, but what about Gong Yu? I heard that he is not very satisfied with his current work status."

The solution to this kind of thing is simple.

A raise, a promotion.

Sure enough, Zhang Chaoyang gave the same strategy: "Sohu's COO position is still vacant. When I come back from the North Pole, I will talk to Gong Yu and let him be the COO. Xiao Zhou, the Sogou business is an upright fight. It’s nothing to say. But it’s not easy for our friends to play dirty tricks behind the scenes.”

Zhou Buqi was angry and funny, "What do you call that? Don't worry, I will persuade Xu Liangjie to calm down later."

Ended the call.

He just wanted to scold.

In the business field, it is really difficult to make friends who want to have both ways. Poaching corners from other companies is the most common business practice. But because of his personal relationship with Lao Zhang, he obviously has someone he likes, but he can't find him.

Zhou Buqi sighed, and ordered casually: "Go and tell Xu Liangjie, don't run upstairs during this time, Lao Zhang's reaction is a bit violent."

"OK."

Ning Yaxian responded crisply.

At this time, she was wearing a white blouse with the hem tucked into a black hip skirt. She also had to wear black stockings because the company issued a dress code for employees.

Front convex back warped, full of charm.

The whole person seems to be more charming and romantic.

So light and familiar, such curves, paired with black silk...the scenery is really unique, and people can't help but take a few more glances.

"Boss, don't look around."

Ning Yaxian glanced at him, a little annoyed, her tone sounded like a secretary? Xiaomi is just acting like a baby.

Zhou Buqi snorted, "Did you hit me just now?"

"ah?"

Ning Yaxian froze for a moment.

Zhou Buqi reached out and slapped her buttocks, full of sensuality, and walked away, "It's even now!"
