According to the current exchange rate of 200 islands, it is approximately equal to 16.6 Hua Guoyuan or 2.6 mg.

It doesn't look much, but if you multiply this number by the number of users in one hundred thousand or even millions, it is also a very expensive number.

The most important thing is that in 2010, the user arpu (average revenue per user) of SoftBank's data business was only 2,540 yuan per month.

If Ring is willing to subsidize 200 island dollars for each user, it means that SoftBank can provide services to more users at a lower price, which is definitely a huge help for SoftBank, which has always liked to fight price wars!

"Mr. Li is saying true?" Takahashi asked happily.

Li Rui said: "Of course it's true, I won't joke about such things."

Shinichi Takahashi and Takeshi Suwon exchanged a look, and then said carefully: "We cannot make decisions about this matter. If possible, please allow us to report to our boss and notify you of the feedback results. Is it OK?"

"No problem." Li Rui said, "This is the process that should be."

After lunch, Takahashi and Suwon hurried back to report.

Zhou Lin couldn't help but say, "Mr. Li, each person subsidized 200 island nationwide, would it be a lot of money? Can you really make it back?"

Li Rui smiled slightly: "I can't bear to leave my child and can't trap a wolf. Do you think I'm a charity person?"

Of course, Li Rui is not a charity person, he is a business person and has a bad heart.

Subsidies are the most effective expansion method that the telecommunications industry has long proven.

O's i-mode model is to grow and grow by selling mobile phones at subsidy prices and then recovering service costs.

When SoftBank promoted Apple phones, it also adopted a subsidy method of purchasing a machine with no down payment and RMB 0.

The facts later prove that the efforts of O and SoftBank are rewarding. i-mode is very popular, and Apple mobile phone sales soar. The money saved by users on their mobile phones is spent on various services provided by operators.

.

Li Rui planned so too.

The cooperation with SoftBank to launch a cooperative SIM card has three important significance.

The first is to seize users.

The monthly traffic card means that the traffic cost problem that plagues users is perfectly solved. There is no need to consider the traffic spent on calling, sending messages, sending pictures and using other services, allowing ring to fully play its due functions, which is for the market.

For competitor applications, it is a dimensionality reduction strike.

For instant messaging software, users are lifelines, and users are everything. When the number of users reaches a certain critical point, qualitative changes will be triggered through quantitative change, and the opponent can be defeated by scale effect!

The second means that ring has successfully opened up a convenient payment channel.

The RP system can be integrated into SoftBank's SIM card to complete near-field and remote payments, which is a prerequisite for open emoticon sticker stores and game stores.

The third is financial considerations.

The rp system itself is bound to a prepaid card. The prepaid system means that there will be a large amount of funds accumulated in the card. When the number of users is enough, it will be a very considerable number.

In the future, Li Rui can even use the deposited funds in the RP system to develop derived financial functions, such as micro-loans... These functions must not be used in Huaguo, but in the island country, he has no psychological burden at all.

As for the 200 island kingdoms subsidized on each user, Li Rui actually doesn't care at all.

As long as the money is deposited into the RP system, Li Rui doesn't believe that they are not moved when they look at the paid expression stickers, and they don't believe that they will resist playing the games in Ring. Even if they don't lose a penny, Ring will have advertisements!

Is this called subsidy?

This is called investment!

Investment requires profits, and it must be recovered with capital and interest!

The 200 island nationwide that Li Rui paid is to make each user pay ten times a hundred times!

In the afternoon, Li Rui returned to the company and interviewed digital management and technicians.

The interview is just a formality. The company is too short of people now and there is nothing to be picky about.

Fortunately, the outsourcing business in the island country is very developed, and software development, testing and various operation and maintenance can be outsourced. If it is not outsourcing, Ring will probably go bankrupt on the spot.

After the interview, there were all kinds of trivial and complicated things, and they took several days to do it.

...

Thursday, July 21.

ring made its first update since its release.

In addition to fixing some minor bugs, there are three main updates.

First, the "Expression Stickers" store is launched, and three free emoticon stickers are included: bald man Moon, "Natsume Friends' Account" monster suit and "Super Energetic Little Sisters" three sisters suit.

Second, enhance the network call function to provide clearer sound quality and lowest traffic consumption.

Third, add the photography plug-in "ringcamera" to beautify the shared pictures.

Since it was released on the morning of the weekdays, two hours have passed, and there has not been much change in the number of updates and downloads.

The people in the company were a little unable to sit still.

Takagi is like an ant on a hot pan, walking from one end to another, and sending people refresh the data every five minutes.

Zhang Yuefeng was also very nervous and stared at the screen without blinking.

Not to mention others, no one is interested in working, and they are thinking about whether this update will succeed.

Only Li Rui is as stable as Mount Tai and has no worries at all.

Compared to the user's reaction, Li Rui wanted to see the expression of Chaodao people.

"You guys are here to stay, I'll go out." Li Rui walked out of the company calmly.

He had already made an appointment with Sakurai Mami to go shopping together.

Li Rui was busy with work several times when he came to the island country and had never had fun.

This time I went shopping with Mami Sakurai, which was really terrible.

When they were tired of shopping, the two found a coffee shop, sat in the open air seat, drinking coffee and watching the pedestrians coming and going, and they were in a particularly comfortable mood.

Sakurai Mami looked at the pile of shopping bags with luxury logos under her feet and said timidly: "Why did you buy so many bags for me?"

"Because I hope you are healthy." Li Rui said.

Sakurai Mami was a little confused, and then became suspicious of her slogan level. Otherwise, why would she understand every word and not understand it if she was connected?

Seeing her ignorant look, Li Rui smiled and said, "Do you understand if you can cure all diseases?"

After listening to Li Rui's explanation, Sakurai Mami was so amused and laughed: "You are so shameless to say homophones to foreigners!"

The two were laughing, and Sakurai Mami suddenly whispered: "The two people next door are discussing your ring!"

"Is that so? What are they talking about?" Li Rui glanced over and saw a young man and woman chatting with her cell phone.

Sakurai Mami listens to a sentence for Li Rui to translate.

"The expression of this bald man is so funny, I like it very much!"

"I like it too, and I also like the super-energy little sisters!"

"Great, I fell in love with this software! I want to recommend it to all my friends!"

"It's really great. This should be the most interesting software on the market. There is also this photo plug-in. The photos taken are so beautiful. Let's take a photo together, right?"

"Click!"

"Wow, the effect is so good. I don't need to post it on the big head in the future!"

"I'm going to send this photo to a friend!"

After listening to the translation, Li Rui smiled slightly.

As he expected, ring's update was welcomed and sought after by young people.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
