Duan Fangzhou smiled and said,
"The xphone 1 has high sales and sells well. A profit of two to three hundred yuan per unit is already very good. I estimate many people are scrambling to become agents and distributors for Xingyi Mobile."
For Samsung phones, the profit per unit is four to five hundred yuan, and high-end models can even reach seven to eight hundred yuan.
But it's useless; domestic sales are too low.
To quickly clear inventory, Samsung distributors have to lower prices, resulting in a net profit of only two to three hundred yuan per unit, and they still have to worry about being investigated and fined by headquarters.
Wang Yi picked up his teacup:
"For President Duan too, supply at the highest distributor discount, 2699 yuan!"
Although Provincial Unicom ordered 300,000 units in one go, it's a significant quantity.
However, Xingyi Mobile distributors also order hundreds of thousands of units at a time.
Wang Yi couldn't possibly undermine the pricing system just for Unicom.
Duan Fangzhou was a little disappointed but had to say,
"No problem, then we'll start by ordering 300,000 xphone 1 units and 200,000 xphone 1pro units!"
"Alright. The xphone 1pro is priced at 4999 yuan. Franchisees can purchase it for 4699 yuan, and distributors for 4599 yuan, making a profit of 400 yuan. You will also get it for 4599 yuan!"
The xphone 1pro had just launched and was in a hot-selling period, with supply unable to meet demand. Therefore, distributors' gross profit was only 400 yuan, less than 10% of the selling price.
Three months later, when the xphone 1pro's hot-selling period passed, Wang Yi would offer distributors a rebate of one to two hundred yuan, allowing them to earn five to six hundred yuan per unit, thereby encouraging distributors to order and ship more.
These pricing strategies must be based on the product lifecycle and market performance.
The contract was agreed upon, subordinates prepared the contract, and both parties officially signed.
From then on, Provincial Unicom became a major distributor for Xingyi Mobile.
The introduction of Unicom contract phones would also cause Xingyi Mobile's sales to surge again.
After all, Provincial Unicom was just the beginning. Seeing Lu Province Unicom profit, could Unicoms in other provinces sit still?
Naturally, they would quickly contact Xingyi Technology to cooperate and introduce contract phones.
Seeing that Unicom had launched Xingyi Mobile contract phones, could China Mobile and China Telecom sit still?
They would certainly also quickly seek cooperation.
By then, Xingyi Mobile entering the three major telecom operators would be equivalent to gaining many more large clients!
As a result, xphone 1pro sales in April would definitely reach a terrifying level.
Perhaps production capacity wouldn't be enough again, and more orders would be needed!
And xphone 1 sales wouldn't be bad either.
After all, one large province of Unicom ordered 300,000 xphone 1 units. Even if other provinces didn't order as many, it would still be considerable.
After signing the contract, Wang Yi and Duan Fangzhou chatted:
"President Duan, you're so young and already a provincial general manager. Your future is limitless."
Duan Fangzhou sighed,
"It's useless, I've reached the peak. Forget about further advancement; it's good enough to hold this position."
"Why do you say that?"
Wang Yi asked, knowing full well that China Mobile was suffocating him.
The three major operators should, by rights, be equally matched.
But the result was that Unicom + Telecom couldn't beat China Mobile!
Fortunately, in the 3G era, China Mobile faltered, allowing Unicom and Telecom to catch their breath. Otherwise, they would have been completely dominated by China Mobile long ago.
Duan Fangzhou was helpless:
"I'm not afraid you'll laugh, but China Mobile is too powerful. It has taken away a large number of Unicom users, leading to an ever-widening gap between us. Our Provincial Unicom users are declining every month, and as the top executive, I'm under immense pressure. Forget about promotions; if this continues, who knows when... sigh!"
Wang Yi sighed with emotion:
"Users are indeed a big problem, but in the 3G era, Unicom still had some power to resist. But once 4G comes, then..."
"Sigh! I'm also worried about this," Duan Fangzhou said melancholically, "4G has already started abroad, and our country's 4G will also start around next year. By then, China Mobile will fully develop 4G, and Unicom will lose its 3G advantage. At that time, our Provincial Unicom users will only decrease more! I estimate I'll reach the end of my career."
Wang Yi, however, shook his head:
"President Duan, this is a crisis, but also an opportunity."
"Oh?" Duan Fangzhou grew interested, discerning the hidden meaning in Wang Yi's words: "Chairman Wang, do you have any brilliant ideas to enlighten me?"
If it were anyone else, Duan Fangzhou wouldn't believe it at all, and wouldn't even bother to listen.
But this was Wang Yi, the youngest internet tycoon, a young talent, a business miracle, and a marketing genius.
It was precisely Wang Yi's imaginative ideas that allowed Meiyou Technology to rapidly grow and Xingyi Technology to flourish.
If Chairman Wang could give him some guidance, perhaps there really would be a future!
Thinking this, Duan Fangzhou raised his teacup:
"Chairman Wang, I'll use tea in place of wine. Please don't hesitate to advise!"
Wang Yi smiled faintly:
"I wouldn't dare to advise. I'm just speaking casually, and you can just listen casually."
"Good! I'm all ears."
"A big reason for China Mobile's rise was the introduction of the GoTone Campus Card," Wang Yi explained slowly:
"The most dynamic consumer group today, and the first to embrace mobile internet, are young people born in the 80s and 90s, or rather, college students."
"And China Mobile's GoTone Campus Card perfectly fit college students, becoming the first real-name authenticated mobile phone card for many of them!"
Wang Yi took out his phone:
"The SIM card we received when enrolling at Beihang was a GoTone card."
"Over ten million college students enroll in Xia Nation every year, most of whom are captured by China Mobile. This means that in the university sector alone, China Mobile gains millions more users than Unicom and Telecom every year."
"Millions more in one year, tens of millions more in ten years."
"It is precisely because of this, thanks to the foundation accumulated over many years, that even if China Mobile's 3G faltered, China Mobile's users and revenue still surpassed Unicom and Telecom combined."
Duan Fangzhou nodded, his expression serious. He had to admit it was true.
China Mobile's GoTone was practically invincible at the moment.
Fortunately, Unicom and Telecom had fixed-line users, and China Mobile hadn't yet obtained a fixed-line license. Otherwise, Unicom and Telecom would have been finished long ago.
Wang Yi continued:
"Similarly, Unicom's way out is also to grab customers."
"Chairman Wang, do you want us to also focus on campus cards?"
Wang Yi waved his hand:
"It's useless. GoTone is deeply entrenched, having close collaborations with many universities. The vested interests are complex, and Unicom can't even think about competing for it."
"Indeed," Duan Fangzhou sighed, "We tried before, but the results were not ideal. For every GoTone card activated, those universities would give a share of benefits to relevant university personnel. It's an impenetrable block now; we really are..."
Wang Yi smiled:
"Since we can't enter the campus card market, let's engage in differentiated competition, targeting new groups and launching new plans."
"New plans? Chairman Wang, you... you mean Unicom and Xingyi Technology cooperate? A deep binding?"
Duan Fangzhou couldn't help but ask.
Wang Yi nodded:
"That's right. College students are a huge group, and our Xingyi Technology's fans and users are also a huge group. Our user base includes not only college students but also many young working professionals, and their consumption power is higher."
"Yes, the quality of Xingyi Technology's users is definitely the highest!"
Duan Fangzhou thought to himself:
'Xingyi Mobile sells for over 5,000 yuan and still sells so well; how could the user quality not be high? It's even better than Apple.'
"But how exactly should we do it?"
"It's simple," Wang Yi didn't say directly, but instead changed the topic: "President Duan, what do you think of Amap Ride-hailing?"
Duan Fangzhou answered decisively:
"Amap Ride-hailing has a lot of potential; I'm very optimistic about it, it has boundless prospects. Currently, Amap Ride-hailing's user base already numbers in the tens of millions, right? I estimate that in the future, the number of drivers could also reach millions, or even several millions!"
Wang Yi nodded:
"That's for sure. Therefore, Unicom can first capture these millions of Amap drivers!"
"Capture millions of Amap drivers?" Duan Fangzhou was confused: "Chairman Wang, how exactly do we do that?"
"Simple!" After the preliminary groundwork, Wang Yi revealed his hand: "Unicom can partner with Amap to launch a Unicom Amap Card. The calls and data will be similar to your regular plans, but with one additional feature: unlimited data for the Amap Navigation APP and Amap Ride-hailing APP. This way, millions of Amap Ride-hailing drivers in the future will use the Unicom Amap Card."
"Unlimited data for the Amap Ride-hailing APP..." Duan Fangzhou fell into thought: "This kind of operation has never been seen before."
Wang Yi smiled faintly:
"Only innovation can lead to an endless future. If Unicom wants to gain users, it must innovate. And it's only unlimited data for Amap Ride-hailing and Amap Navigation; data for other apps will be charged as usual, which won't affect Unicom's revenue. On the contrary, it will gain millions of users in the near future."
"Exchanging unlimited data for two applications for millions of users is absolutely cost-effective. You can also earn more."
"This..."
Duan Fangzhou hesitated for a moment, quickly calculating the gains and losses.
Wang Yi smiled slightly:
"Of course, the plan fee can also be set a bit higher. For example, the Amap Card could have a monthly fee of 166 yuan, 1000 minutes of talk time, 120MB of general data, plus unlimited data for Amap Navigation and Amap Ride-hailing!"
"166!"
Duan Fangzhou, who had been hesitant, instantly stopped when he heard the price.
Currently, there aren't many users with plans exceeding 100 yuan.
As for users above 150 yuan, they are considered high-end users, extremely rare.
If Unicom suddenly gains hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of high-end users with plans above 150 yuan, that would be fantastic.
Wang Yi saw Duan Fangzhou's interest and continued,
"Furthermore, this cooperation is with Lu Province Unicom, so the attribution of these cards can all be registered under Lu Province Unicom. In other words, it's all your performance!"
"My performance!" Duan Fangzhou's eyes lit up.
Wang Yi continued to sweeten the deal:
"Currently, there are over 300,000 Amap Ride-hailing drivers. As soon as this cooperation is established, Provincial Unicom will immediately gain over 300,000 high-end new users with the 166 yuan plan. In the next six months, this will grow to 800,000, or even one million! All of it will be your performance, President Duan!"
"Imagine, users are decreasing in other provinces, but our province is growing against the trend with one million new users, and high-end new users with a monthly fee of 166 yuan."
Wang Yi smiled slightly:
"President Duan, if you don't get promoted, who will?"
"This..."
Duan Fangzhou was excited, unable to suppress the thrill on his face.
There was no denying it; Wang Yi's "pie" was incredibly appealing.
And it was the kind you could see and eat.
As Wang Yi said, currently, users in Unicom, Telecom, and all provincial regions were experiencing serious losses.
Every performance ranking didn't look at who gained more new users, but rather who lost fewer.
If the Amap Card is launched, quickly gaining hundreds of thousands of users, over a million before the end of this year, and several millions next year!
And they'd all be high-end users with a monthly fee of 166 yuan!
That would be incredible!!
Such a large number of high-end users would be a brilliant achievement even for Unicom as a whole.
Not to mention for a single provincial region; that would be truly invincible!
He could even take this opportunity to advance further and become a group vice president, there was hope.
Such a massive achievement was entirely possible.
Moreover, Wang Yi's demands weren't high: just unlimited data for two apps, and the plan price was also high, 166 yuan!
It was totally feasible, and headquarters wouldn't object!
Duan Fangzhou made a snap decision:
"Chairman Wang, this is no problem. The Amap Card, we can do it!"
Whether for Unicom or for his own career development, there was no reason to hesitate.
To better develop performance, each provincial region of Unicom had certain authority to customize its own plans.
A 166 yuan Amap Card posed no difficulty at all.
Wang Yi continued:
"However, the Amap Card cannot be limited to drivers within the province. We must capture Amap drivers nationwide. Therefore, data and calls must be nationwide, with no roaming charges across the country. Only then can we capture Amap users nationwide."
"No problem!"
Duan Fangzhou wasn't foolish; he wouldn't give up national users for a small roaming fee, which would be a net loss.
"Chairman Wang, what about the promotion of this Amap Card?"
Wang Yi smiled faintly:
"The promotion of the Amap Card will be handled by Xingyi Technology. We will promote the card through channels such as Amap Navigation, Amap Ride-hailing, Meiyou Mall, Xingyi Flagship Store, and even Xingyi Video."
Duan Fangzhou was overjoyed:
"That would be excellent! Of course, Unicom will give you channel commissions."
Duan Fangzhou was well aware of how strong Xingyi Technology's channels were.
Rather than Unicom spending money to promote the Amap Card itself, it would be better to cooperate with Xingyi Technology.
This would be more convenient and efficient.
"How about this: for every new user who activates a 166 yuan phone card, Unicom gives Xingyi Technology a 100 yuan channel commission, and then an additional 20% commission from the monthly fee,"
Duan Fangzhou said with a smile.
For every additional user, it's 166 yuan a month, 1992 yuan a year!
Nearly 2000 yuan in annual revenue, and giving Xingyi Technology 400 yuan in benefits annually is well worth it.
In fact, university campus cards were the same.
For a high-spending plan like 100 yuan, intermediary seniors could receive 50-80 yuan in benefits!
Moreover, this 20% commission could also ensure future cooperation.
What if China Mobile or China Telecom also set their sights on this market and wanted to make similar cards?
If Unicom didn't offer a commission but China Mobile or China Telecom did, then Xingyi Technology's high-end customers might be snatched away by China Mobile or China Telecom.
Only cooperation where everyone makes money can last.
Wang Yi was in a great mood. President Duan knows how to get things done; it serves him right to be the general manager:
"President Duan is straightforward. In that case, the promotion of the Amap Card is on us. However, since the plan is already 166 yuan, we can offer a bit more in appropriate discounts, as competitors might follow suit."
President Duan nodded:
"Then the Amap Card will have a monthly fee of 166 yuan, 1200 minutes of national calls, 200MB of national general data, no national roaming, plus unlimited data for Amap Navigation and Amap Ride-hailing APPs, and caller ID. After exceeding limits, it's one dime per minute."
"Good!"
Wang Yi agreed. This plan was already very cost-effective.
Even without unlimited data, the original price would be 180 yuan.
It was equivalent to a 14 yuan discount, plus unlimited data for two apps, making it very competitive.
By then, if Amap company provides some subsidies, it would be even easier.
For example, if a driver completes over 100 orders in the first month after activating the card, they get a 100 yuan call credit subsidy the next month, effectively making the first month's cost 66 yuan while enjoying a 180 yuan plan.
Subsequently, for over 100 orders each month, a 10 yuan call credit is returned; for over 300 orders, 30 yuan; for over 500 orders, 50 yuan.
Most full-time drivers can exceed 600 orders, directly returning 60 yuan, which means a 106 yuan plan enjoying a 180 yuan plan.
Wang Yi didn't care about these commissions; he would return all of them to the drivers, even if it meant paying out of his own pocket.
Only by lowering the phone bill threshold and increasing the number of ride-hailing drivers could Amap Ride-hailing earn more.
Thus, a plan that originally cost four or five hundred yuan suddenly dropping to 106 yuan would eliminate pressure.
And with a 106 yuan plan enjoying the benefits of a 186 yuan plan, Amap drivers might not only stop resisting but also be enticed.
By then, the phone bill problem for Amap drivers would be solved, and a significant increase in driver numbers would be a matter of course.
Wang Yi then thought of Ele.me!
Ele.me riders also need navigation, need to accept orders, and need to call customers.
Navigation requires zero data, but accepting orders requires data, and making calls also requires data.
He simply said,
"President Duan, do you want even greater performance?"
"Even greater performance?" Duan Fangzhou grew interested: "Chairman Wang, when you talk about this, I get energized! I'm all ears."
Wang Yi smiled faintly:
"The Ele.me delivery rider group is even larger and more numerous. They also need data, calls, and are high-end users!"
"Chairman Wang, you are my great benefactor!" Duan Fangzhou was overjoyed: "The food delivery group will be even more incredible. We must launch another Ele.me Card!"
"The Ele.me Card will also offer 1200 minutes of national calls, 200MB of national general data, no national roaming, plus unlimited data for the Ele.me APP, and caller ID. After exceeding limits, it's one dime per minute. The plan price... let's make it 126 yuan!"
"Okay,"
Wang Yi responded. The Ele.me APP uses a bit less data, so 126 yuan is a suitable price.
The main issue is that calls are expensive right now. Whether it's an Ele.me rider or an Amap driver, call usage usually exceeds 1000 minutes.
If it's not enough later, they can always introduce a larger plan.
Duan Fangzhou was in a great mood:
"Combining both, Provincial Unicom will add at least over a million new users this year, maybe even 1.5 million!"
There's a future!
And a fortune too!
Wang Yi smiled slightly:
"President Duan, do you want to go one step further?"
"Chairman Wang, do you have another good plan?"
Duan Fangzhou was stunned.
Wang Yi smiled faintly:
"This model either doesn't start, or it goes to the extreme, leaving competitors with no path forward. If you hesitate and only launch the Amap Card and Ele.me Card, competitors will immediately learn, follow suit, and launch other cards."
"That makes sense. Then we'll launch another new card to capture as much market as possible!"
Duan Fangzhou was very receptive to advice. This model was too easy to copy, so they could only seize the initiative and capture more market share and users.
As for what would happen later, he didn't care. He just wanted to use the current performance to advance further and become a group vice president first.
"But what should we do to gain the most users?"
Duan Fangzhou couldn't help but ask.
"Simple, the Star God Card!"
Wang Yi said with a smile.
This was his real plan. As for the Ele.me Card and Amap Card, they weren't for profit but to provide benefits for employees.
Even the rebates Unicom gave Xingyi Technology, Wang Yi subsidized entirely, and even contributed an additional part to Amap drivers and Ele.me riders.
Wang Yi had always been generous to his employees.
Even grassroots employees needed to be taken care of.
And the Star God Card was Wang Yi's profit channel.
"Star God Card? What's that?"
Duan Fangzhou was confused.
Wang Yi explained slowly:
"The Amap Card targets Amap drivers, and the Ele.me Card targets Ele.me riders. But both user groups are only a part, and their scale won't be terrifyingly large. Even years later, it will only be a few million."
Duan Fangzhou nodded:
"Roughly so."
Wang Yi changed his tone:
"The Star God Card, however, is different. With a more grounded plan and more flexible services, it targets the general public and can capture more users."
"Good! Chairman Wang, tell me how to do it!"
Duan Fangzhou became interested.
He desperately needed a card that indiscriminately captured users, and so did Unicom.
Whether Unicom could rise would depend on this one decisive move.
Wang Yi slowly said:
"The Star God Card will be 66 yuan, with 300 minutes of talk time, 100MB of general data, and unlimited data for Xingyi ecosystem apps."
"This..."
Duan Fangzhou fell silent, and after a long while, said,
"The first few points are fine, they're normal plans. But the last point, unlimited data for Xingyi ecosystem apps, isn't very realistic. After all, there are too many Xingyi ecosystem apps, even Amap Ride-hailing is included. And there's Xingyi Video; if that's unlimited data, with people watching videos all day, Unicom would go crazy."
Wang Yi laughed:
"You're right. Amap Ride-hailing isn't a big problem; drivers need to make calls, and a 300-minute plan isn't enough, so they still need the Amap Card. But Xingyi Video is a big problem."
Previously, China Mobile had also launched unlimited data cards to attract users.
Initially, internet speeds were slow, only tens of KB, so continuous 24-hour internet usage wasn't a concern.
Later, in the 3G era, speeds increased to 160KB, which became unsustainable.
So China Mobile started throttling speeds in many regions, leading to numerous user complaints.
By the 4G era, the consequences were even more severe...
It was precisely for this reason that China Mobile, Unicom, and Telecom were all very sensitive about unlimited data and dared not act recklessly.
Even the Amap Card only offered unlimited data for Amap Navigation and Amap Ride-hailing APPs. Even with unlimited data, the total consumption from these two applications was limited and fully manageable.
But Xingyi Video was different. With people watching videos all day, Unicom couldn't handle it.
After all, the situation in 2012 was completely different from years later.
Wang Yi pondered for a moment:
"That's easy to fix. Let's change it to unlimited data for Xingyi ecosystem apps, with throttling starting after 7GB! After throttling, you won't be able to stream videos, but you can still browse websites, use Changliao for chatting, and other simple scenarios."
"Throttling after 7GB..." Duan Fangzhou mused for a moment, then nodded: "Let's do that!"
7GB of targeted data was completely manageable.
Wang Yi was in a great mood:
"So, the Star God Card will be priced at 66 yuan for a 3G plan, 300 minutes of national calls, 100MB of national general data. Unlimited data for Xingyi ecosystem apps, with throttling after 7GB each month. Caller ID included, no national roaming. Exceeding call limits costs one dime per minute, exceeding data limits costs 1 yuan for 10MB."
"Everything else is fine, but isn't 1 yuan for 10MB of excess data too cheap?" Duan Fangzhou couldn't help but ask: "Currently, data costs 1 yuan for 3MB, 5 yuan for 30MB, and 10 yuan for 100MB."
Wang Yi waved his hand:
"President Duan, you have to broaden your perspective. 1 yuan for 3MB was the price at the beginning of the 3G era. 4G is coming next year; isn't Unicom's 3G going to lower its prices?"
"This..."
Wang Yi continued,
"Besides, isn't 10 yuan for 100MB essentially 1 yuan for 10MB? We won't play tricks; we'll directly offer 1 yuan for 10MB. Users won't spend extra when they exceed limits, so they'll use the internet freely and consume more boldly!"
Duan Fangzhou mused for a moment, then said:
"Alright, we'll do as Chairman Wang says. However, the promotion will still rely on Xingyi Technology. Similarly, for each new Star God Card activated, Xingyi Technology will receive a 50 yuan subsidy, and 20% of the monthly phone bill as commission!"
"No problem!"
Wang Yi readily agreed.
The Star God Card was the main source of profit.
A Star God Card costs 66 yuan a month, 792 yuan a year. A 20% commission would be 158.4 yuan, plus the initial 50 yuan makes it 208.4 yuan.
If there are one million users, that's 208.4 million yuan. If there are ten million users, that's 2.084 billion yuan.
With Xingyi Technology's influence, attracting ten million users with such an affordable plan in 2012 wouldn't be a big problem.
More importantly, there would be an additional 1.584 billion yuan in commissions every year!
The future was limitless.
Of course, making money was only one aspect; more importantly, it was about encouraging operators to increase data allowances and lower fees.
Only when plan fees decrease and data allowances increase can everyone afford to use it, and only then can mobile internet rapidly rise.
In 2012, unlimited 3G plans were unrealistic, and even 10 yuan for 1GB was unrealistic.
Wang Yi could only achieve his goals indirectly. If he couldn't offer unlimited data for everything, he'd offer unlimited data for the Xingyi ecosystem!
Currently, Xingyi ecosystem apps were gradually growing and were already sufficient to meet all aspects of users' lives.
For social interaction, there's the Changliao APP; for food delivery, the Ele.me APP; for ride-hailing and navigation, the Amap APP; for shopping and female communication, the Meiyou APP; for novels, the Meiyou Novel APP; for music, Xingyi Music; for video, Xingyi Video...
Moreover, in the current 3G era, as long as one doesn't compulsively stream videos, 7GB of targeted data is basically sufficient.
And even after exceeding 7GB, with throttling, it only means being unable to stream videos. Other activities like Changliao chatting, Ele.me ordering takeout, Meiyou shopping, etc., remain unaffected.
Even listening to music online poses no major problem, as long as it's not lossless quality.
Besides, high-quality audio can be slowly cached.
It can be said that, with the help of the Star God Card, truly unlimited data for Xingyi ecosystem apps could be achieved.
As for new apps that appear in the future, these would also be added. After all, for Unicom, the total targeted data is 7GB; it doesn't matter how many apps share it.
Wang Yi continued:
"This year's Star God Card will be called Star God Card 2012. If a competitor launches a more powerful card, we'll follow up next year with Star God Card 2013!"
"Good, Chairman Wang, you're always so thoughtful!"
Duan Fangzhou was full of admiration. A casual remark from Wang Yi had directly laid the foundation for future development.
In 2012, when mobile plans offered little data and high fees, the plans of the three major operators were all terrible. The launch of the Unicom Star God Card 2012 would undoubtedly create a sensation and attract many users.
By then, China Mobile and China Telecom would certainly not stand idly by; instead, they would immediately follow suit.
They might even offer more aggressive deals and greater discounts than Unicom.
At that time, Unicom would also have to upgrade, launching Star God Card 2013, and continue to compete fiercely!
There was no avoiding this.
As a reborn individual, Wang Yi was well aware of their tactics.
For example, once number portability was introduced, old users were treated worse than dogs, with no price reduction, while new users switching numbers immediately received a 70% discount!
A plan originally priced at 99 yuan would drop directly to 33 yuan, and for an extra 10 yuan, an additional 1000 minutes of calls and 40GB of data would be given.
So, in his previous life, after Wang Yi switched from Unicom to China Mobile, his original 109 yuan plan became 43 yuan, and he got more talk time and data!
The only downside was that China Mobile's 500MB broadband was slightly slower than Unicom's 300MB.
But considering that 109 yuan became 43 yuan, saving 66 yuan a month, Wang Yi didn't mind.
He didn't play games, and China Mobile's 500MB broadband was sufficient.
Similarly, once the Star God Card was launched, China Telecom and China Mobile would also fiercely compete.
Wang Yi would not refuse this; in fact, he welcomed it.
After all, only when they competed would users enjoy increased data and reduced fees, allowing the mobile internet to develop.
Currently, tariffs were too high, and users didn't dare to turn on mobile data when out. How could the mobile internet possibly develop then?
However, the emergence of the Star God Card, Amap Card, and Ele.me Card could alleviate the current crisis of the mobile internet.
"Chairman Wang, it's truly a pleasure to cooperate with you! I regret not coming sooner!" Duan Fangzhou raised his teacup, in a great mood: "I toast to you with this cup!"
Wang Yi smiled slightly, also raising his teacup:
"Then I wish us in advance great sales for our contract phones and great sales for the Star God Card! And I also wish President Duan in advance to become President Duan!"
It was conceivable that once these three cards were launched, Provincial Unicom would surely become hugely popular, and user numbers would skyrocket.
Adding several million new users in the next six months would be no problem.
As a leader, Duan Fangzhou's career would undoubtedly flourish under this performance, leading to his promotion as Group Vice President!
Duan Fangzhou was ecstatic:
"Thank you, Chairman Wang! You are my benefactor!"
"You're too kind, President Duan. It's merely a win-win cooperation."
"Good, then let's cooperate more in the future."
Wang Yi nodded:
"No problem. Once the procedures are complete, a Star God Card add-on option can be included on the Xingyi Mobile sales page. If users want it, they can simply check the box. The Star God Card will be shipped with the phone, becoming active after user activation. The plan's billing cycle will start from the day of activation, lasting thirty days."
"Good, in that case, the number of Star God Cards activated will surely be astonishing!"
Duan Fangzhou was overjoyed. He then picked up the contract phone plan they had signed earlier:
"I feel like we ordered too few phones. Let's add another 100,000 units to each!"
"Alright!"
Such is a win-win cooperation.
The subsequent matters would simply be processing paperwork, signing contracts, and handing it over to subordinates to coordinate.
In his excitement, Duan Fangzhou insisted on treating Wang Yi to dinner.
As they drank, Duan Fangzhou became emotional:
"Chairman Wang, you truly are a benefactor. Anyone who meets you has good luck."
"Not to mention the executives at Meiyou Technology and Xingyi Technology, they all met you and then had bright futures."
"Zhao Huan from SPD Bank was just a small branch manager last year. He met you, and being so young, he became a sub-branch vice president this year. It's only a matter of time before he becomes a branch manager."
"Likewise, Chairman Wang, I met you, and I can also take another step forward next year!"
"Chairman Wang, you don't know, I originally had no hope of promotion. Because of you, now anything is possible!"
"Chairman Wang, you are my benefactor!"
Duan Fangzhou was a bit drunk and rambled on for a long time.
Wang Yi chuckled,
"Looks like old Duan's had a bit too much, haha."
The meal lasted until after 3 PM. Wang Yi was fine, but old Duan drank himself under the table.
He still smiled and said,
"Met a benefactor, so happy today, must drink more!"
(End of Chapter)
