Top of the big era

Europeans have been comfortable for a long time and are used to a rich life.

They are afraid that the existing industrial structure will be destroyed when the times change, which will have an impact on the current relaxed, comfortable and high-welfare life.

If China and the United States pursue industrial upgrading, the faster the better.

For example, in China, the copycat phone industry was in full swing and did very well. Not only did it take over the domestic market, but some leading copycat phone manufacturers have already expanded overseas. As a result, when smartphones came, they just gave up.

They quickly got rid of the copycat phone industry and welcomed the new era of smartphones.

In the competition of the global economy, cost advantage is important, but speed advantage is more important.

Who can make the right decision the fastest!

This is the same as the competition between companies.

Which company has low employee salaries and which company has low operating costs is indeed an advantage, but it is not the biggest advantage. In a fast-changing industry like the technology industry, the most important thing to be fast is to be ahead of your peers!

You must keep up with the changes of the times.

Continuously strengthen the advantages of products and quickly improve the shortcomings of products.

The response in Europe is really too slow.

A few years ago, when Zhou Buqi was working on the European market, he saw the problem here. After so many years, the EU finally reacted and made up its mind to deal with Qualcomm, thinking about unifying the EU market digitally.

The action is so slow, it's really too late.

Now that Qualcomm has been punished, what can it do?

The European mobile phone chip industry has been liquidated by Qualcomm.

Punishing Qualcomm, can all those dead European chip companies come back to life?

Now to develop the EU's digital market... Humph, now the European online market has been completely occupied by Chinese and American technology giants, and those local small and medium-sized enterprises have been trapped by the complex conditions in the EU and cannot develop at all.

Now Europe is thinking about making amends...

This is really too late.

The market that has been eaten by Silicon Valley giants, Ziweixing and Aisda, can it still be spit out?

Zhou Buqi will not allow the EU to restrict Helo's free services.

Free services are just burning money to serve users.

By burning money, dominating the market and achieving a monopoly position,

then, through other related services provided by Helo, the money burned by free services can be earned back.

This is the best way to kill European local emerging enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises.

If Helo is paid, users need to pay to make voice calls or video calls.

The attractiveness of the product will be greatly reduced.

Other European local products are equivalent to having the opportunity to break out.

Just like the domestic market.

In the era of WeChat used by all people, many people are very scared.

WeChat is so important that all social relationships are in it and have become a part of life.

What if WeChat charges fees one day?

This is obviously a misunderstanding of the Internet industry.

You beg WeChat to charge fees, but they dare not.

From the perspective of industrial structure, free has the greatest advantage, which is a prerequisite for obtaining a monopoly position.

Free is equivalent to opening a bun shop, and then all buns are free, and anyone can come to eat. In this way, all other bun shops can be killed and all customer traffic can be attracted.

Then, other businesses were started in the bun shop, and money was made from other businesses.

This business model is good.

However, it is a disaster for the bun shop industry.

All other bun shop peers will die.

Because the bun shop has formed a monopoly in the market, its own voice is also strengthened. When buying noodles and meat, it can negotiate a better purchase price; when managing the store, all stores can be standardized with a unified style and unified management, just like McDonald's and KFC, which can greatly reduce management costs.

With a monopoly position, there are a thousand and ten thousand ways to save money.

The ultimate goal of business is monopoly.

This is the core of making big money.

The EU now requires that the bun shop should not be free, leave a way out for other bun shops, leave enough profit space for upstream and downstream rice, flour, oil and meat, and maintain the diversification of the industry...

For Zhou Buqi, this is of course impossible.

Everything else can cooperate.

Ziweixing can spare no effort to cooperate with the EU in the management of user data and the protection of user privacy. We will do whatever they say! There will be no arguments!

However, there can be no concessions on the issue of Helo being free!

Ansip then took out a benchmark product, "Microsoft's Skype is a paid software. Users need to pay to use better voice and video call services. Skype will share this part of the fee with operators."

Zhou Buqi said: "That's different. Helo and Skype are not the same product. Skype is a software, a traditional software; Helo is an Internet product, a new vitality in the mobile Internet era."

Ansip frowned slightly, "But in terms of Internet calls, Skype is not that destructive."

"Do you really think so?" Zhou Buqi pretended to be surprised, "Then you have been deceived! In terms of harm to operators, Skype is at least ten times more harmful than Helo! A hundred times! Mr. Chairman, you will not be fooled by the United States Did someone lie to you?"

Tang Binchen followed the big boss's wishes and added: "Skype is not a paid software, and payment is only an insignificant form. Skype is still mainly free, and the vast majority of users use it for free. Serve."

Zhou Buqi said: "In the final analysis, it is a ridiculous view to juxtapose Skype and Helo. These are two completely different industries. Helo has many functions, and free voice calls are just one of them. Users are When using Helo, the average usage rate of voice calls is less than 4%. But what about Skype? Skype is a dedicated voice calling product. It only has this function. 600 million users use Skype for free! In terms of harm to operators, Skype is a hundred or a thousand times more harmful than Helo!”

Ansip seemed to be deliberately looking for trouble, "Ten times? A hundred times? A thousand times? Does Mr. Zhou have evidence?"

Zhou Buqi said calmly: "No evidence is needed. If you really understand these two products, you can definitely draw similar conclusions. The reason why Skype launched paid services is because Skype has done too much harm to operators. Helo is free because Helo’s business has nothing to do with operators. They are all voice calls, and the two parties are actually fundamentally different.”

"different?"

"Helo's voice call is a call between Helo users and Helo users. It is a typical point-to-point mode of the Internet. This is the product that is most in line with the spirit of the Internet. Skype's voice call uses the operator system and can be directly called Making calls from other people’s mobile phones and landlines does not use the Internet protocol at all, it uses the operator model.”

"Well……"

Ansip Gujingbubo seemed not to be satisfied with this statement.

"From a technical point of view, Skype is a product that is diametrically opposed to operator services. Helo is completely different from operator services. It is a real Internet service. It is just a matter of technological progress, and Internet services also have certain advantages. The ability to simulate operator services. Helo has not crossed the line, it is just a simulation at the Internet level. "Skype is completely different, they are not simulating the phone services of operators," Zhou Buqi said. They are engaged in complete telephone services in the name of the Internet without an operator license!”

Tang Binchen said slowly: "The core function of Helo is not voice calls, it is just an auxiliary tool for online communication that we launched to provide users with better services. Skype is completely different. This software is designed to transcend operators. , bypassing operators is Skype’s core competitiveness.”

Zhou Buqi said confidently: "To put it bluntly, the reason why Skype can still survive and still have 600 million users is because Helo has never crossed the line and never bypassed operators. If Helo really I have to bypass the operator and do the same thing as Skype... It’s not that I’m arrogant or look down on Microsoft. If I really wanted to do it, Skype would be dead long ago and they wouldn’t survive a day!”

This is a bit exaggerated.

Is Microsoft papery?

However, when these words came out of Boss Zhou's mouth, everyone present felt that they were taking it for granted.

Zhou Buqi continued: "The reason why I didn't do that was not because I was afraid of Microsoft, but because of my business principles. The last thing I want is to cause huge damage to traditional industries while technological innovation. This is not in line with my business principles." Values. The reason why I don’t do it is because I want to protect the operator! But what is the result? I want to protect the operator, but I think you should be more aware of Helo and Skype. , conduct a comprehensive analysis from a higher perspective, rather than simply who is free and who charges.”

Tang Binchen smiled.

It means that I believe whatever Boss Zhou says. No matter you believe it or not, I believe it anyway.
