The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 700 What is a founding member [fifth update]

The association has a total of more than 90 members, and 42 members proposed to hold an emergency meeting. The one-third limit is absolutely sufficient, so this emergency meeting can undoubtedly be held.

The only question is why the two companies, AT and SP, are in such a hurry to hold this emergency meeting. After all, it has only been more than a week since the last meeting, which is too fast.

As for whether to complain for the association, the president thinks it is impossible to deal with Stark Communications. Their sense of belonging to the association is not so strong. What does the association's scolding have to do with them? Will they lose a piece of meat?
Isn’t the time cost and transportation cost of traveling thousands of miles from various places in the United States money?
"Sir, I think it might really be Stark's problem!" The secretary explained, "I heard that many members are very dissatisfied with the contract plan launched by Stark. They think this contract plan violates the industry's label , Maliciousness has caused vicious competition in the industry, so I am afraid that Stark Mobile Communications is required to withdraw this contract plan!"

"Oh!" The president's eyes suddenly brightened. That's right, there must be nothing wrong with this reason.

Do you set the price of each communication company at will?

Of course not, otherwise there are so many communication companies in the United States, and the price war alone can completely destroy most of the mobile communication companies.

This price is actually set by the association. Members of the association hold a meeting to discuss a standard that everyone can accept, and then any company's price must not be lower than this standard, otherwise it will be boycotted by the association.

In this way, vicious competition among enterprises can be prevented.

Of course, this rule is hidden, and it is impossible to write it in the open, otherwise it will violate the law, because the law encourages free competition.

Under normal circumstances, even if you violate the standards set by everyone, as long as it is not too exaggerated, everyone will not care, and they will really pull you out for criticism.

But if you want to drop the price by more than half in one go like Stark, then it is typical that you don't want everyone to live.

In fact, before this, the representative of AT company had actually talked with Malik Omar, but without the permission of his own boss, it was impossible for Malik Omar to promise anything.Neither Versailles nor Huang He gave any instructions, so Malik Omar could only slap his scalp and reject the requests of these representatives.

So these representatives directly asked for a group meeting to put pressure on Stark at the meeting, either directly Stark gave up the current contract plan, or everyone took Stark out collectively, and then the entire Stark moved The network of the communication group is not allowed to access the entire network.

This request made the chairman overjoyed, this is completely sleepy and giving pillows.I was worried that I didn't know how to complete the task assigned to me by Motorola, and the Stark Group messed up by itself. Is there anything more happiest in the world than this?
Naturally, the chairman fully cooperated with the demands of these companies, and soon announced that an emergency meeting would be held three days later, and once again invited all members to discuss the issue of Stark Mobile Communications.

Soon this time was also sent to Billy Howard through Motorola, with the obvious intention that Billy Howard take advantage of this opportunity to deal a fatal blow to Jiangnan Group and Tianxing 5.

Everything seemed to be going very smoothly, and three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the members who had just left the association headquarters for less than half a month returned to the association headquarters in unison.

Many people think that Malik Omar will not come this time, or he will not come by himself, but will send a representative. After all, this meeting is clearly aimed at Malik Omar.

But unexpectedly, Malik Omar not only came, but also came very early, and greeted everyone very enthusiastically, even if others were avoiding him, he was the only one there Sing a one-man show.

But Malik Omar didn't care, he was used to these things when he was a salesman, he didn't have any psychological pressure or burden, he just smiled and sat back in his seat.

Then, the meeting officially started, and the chairman directly stated that someone was disrupting the world order and harming the collective interests of all members. Then some small communication companies criticized Stark's behavior, and Malik Omar With a smile on his face, he just didn't say a word, as if these people were not talking about his company.

It wasn't until these people said that their mouths were a little dry that the president said, "Mr. Malik, have you understood everyone's attitude? Now we need an answer from Stark Mobile Communications, do you want to?" Are you willing to revoke your contract plan that violates market laws and rules?"

"Gentlemen, I don't think this is a contract plan that violates the market contract rules. On the contrary, I think this is the contract plan that should be in the future!" Malik Omar stood up and talked eloquently, "I think In the future, with the full arrival of the 3G era, network traffic will be the core business of mobile phones, and only mobile phone calls, text messages and other services will be replaced by network traffic services in the future."

"So we should develop services around network traffic and reduce the cost of network traffic as much as possible, so as to cultivate users' habit of using mobile networks."

"As long as the habit of using the network is cultivated, they will pursue higher network traffic. When the 3G network becomes popular, we will be able to obtain more benefits from the huge increase in network traffic data. Therefore, training users to use The habit of the Internet is our most important task at present!"

"At the same time, the higher income of our communication company can also be obtained from value-added services generated around network traffic, such as advertising, dedicated traffic and other services...".

Everyone looked at each other in dismay when they heard it. Unexpectedly, this Malik Omar really spoke clearly and logically, and it seemed to coincide with the future development of mobile networks. Some representatives even nodded in approval.

Those who are here to attend the meeting are not fools, nor short-sighted fools, who are basically sure that Malik Omar is describing a highly probable future.

However, these words of Malik Omar are not able to change the situation and the thinking of most members now.

Because their thinking is not about the future, but that Stark dares to violate the price standard set by the association now, wouldn't he be flying in the future?

Moreover, Stark's business has been very strong recently, and it has added nearly 30 users in a week, and these 30 users are obviously snatched from their users.

Although there are not many allocated to each company, it also means that Malik Omar has violated the interests of all companies, and everyone will tolerate him.

Not to mention that he still has a very ugly face with the association, no one will get used to such a guy.

"Okay, Mr. Malik, we are not interested in hearing too many sophistry from you!" The president directly interrupted Malik Omar's speech, "You just need to tell me whether you object or agree with the association. "

When the president said this, he kept shouting in his heart, hoping that this Malik Omar would be tougher, and he must not be a soft-legged shrimp. He would be soft at this time, otherwise his mission would not be completed.

"I will not change the decision I have made!" Malik Omar said very simply.

"Very good, then I announce..." Just as the president was about to announce that all members would vote on a show of hands, Malik Omar suddenly continued, "Mr. President, if our Stark communication violates the price set by the association Standards, need to face the threat of being voted out of the association!"

"Then I would like to ask, in January this year, AT Communications launched a campus package, the price is significantly lower than the industry standard, more than 1% higher."

"In addition, SP also launched a contract plan bound to Motorola's latest cheap model in July last year. This contract plan has 7 minutes of talk time and only costs $100, which is even lower than our price. Many, these questions obviously violate the league’s price standards, shouldn’t we vote on these two questions first?” Malik Omar asked unceremoniously, and the representatives of AT and SP had a momentary expression on their faces. one black.

What Malik Omar said is true, but they are AT and SP, the leading companies in the mobile communication industry in the United States, each with a market value of more than 600 billion U.S. dollars. This is your small family. Is Stark Mobile Communications, whose peak market value is less than $30 billion, qualified to question?
I didn't see the other small communication companies at the scene, and they ignored these two things directly. It's not that they didn't know about it, but that they couldn't do anything about these two giants if they knew about it. I'm afraid that the entire association should not continue.

Of course, these words cannot be said in the open, so the two representatives looked at the chairman and motioned for him to solve the problem.

The president nodded, and then said, "Mr. Malik Omar, because he just joined the association on behalf of Stark Corporation, he may not know some rules and regulations of our association!"

"Our American Mobile Communications Association was established in 1972, and it has a history of 32 years. At the beginning of the association, there were only 7 companies. They are all mobile communication operators in Mimi. The communication network they established is also ours. America's first-generation mobile communication network!"

"Facing the market, these seven founding members chose to open up their network generously, so that all new entrants can integrate their base stations into this network, so that a mobile phone can get through to any other communication company. The feat of the telephone constitutes the cornerstone of the mobile communication industry in the United States!"

"Because of the great dedication of these 7 founding members, the association has specially stipulated at the beginning of its establishment that unless the association is dissolved, the [-] founding members will always be members of the association, and no one is eligible to expel the founding members from the association go out!"

"AT company and SP company are one of the seven founding members that have been handed down from then to now," said the chairman, and the representatives of AT and SP companies also showed proud expressions on their faces.

After all, the identity of the founding member is an honor that cannot be bought with money, because more than 32% of the companies present here were not born 98 years ago. What qualifications do you have for being a founding member?
