India is Not the Savior for hTC

2015 - 07 - 10

India, a country of 1.3 billion people but with $1000 GDP per capita, has been defined as low-income economy by Wold Bank.

鴻海在印度投資上看200億美元  

「……國外媒體報導,鴻海董事長郭台銘已抵達印度,除與印度新創企業會面,也將拜訪印度官員;鴻海相繼攜手阿里巴巴、小米、軟銀前進印度投資,凸顯印度在政策引領印度製造(Made in India)以外,當地內需市場擴張,同步帶動科技業軟硬整合的新契機。印度媒體hindustantimes.com等昨(9)日引述消息人士的談話指出,鴻海在印度投資規模上看200億美元(約新台幣6,246億元),郭董率領40人的代表團前往印度考察,今天計劃拜訪印度通訊部長RaviShankar Prasad,有機會簽訂資訊合作案。……

印度有13億人,和中國有拼,但人均GDP僅不過美元一千多,也被世界銀行定義為低收入經濟體。目前它的feature phone仍占六成,smartphone四成,內需市場的成長潛力雖不待言,但絕大多數人民所需用的手機都處於hTC不會有利潤的極低價格帶。

講低價,自然不能不講到鴻海。新任總理莫迪之競選承諾「印度製造、數位印度、潔淨印度」,配上鴻海在印度大佈局的思惟以及郭董這次揮軍印度的深度,遠遠不是只想「賣手機」的hTC所能想像。

當然,這個英語為官方語言之一的國家同樣有富裕階層,但他們心目中智慧機的高端產品,也是目前市占率還小贏hTCApple, Sony, 以及早已佈局在當地設了三座研發實驗室總共僱用一萬多名工程師掌握近三成市場的Samsung

至於hTC目前在印度主攻的中階機呢?現在低價高規已成智慧機裡的全球主流;而這個擠得要命的區間裡有的是小米華為中興華碩,現在又加上了個大投資結合官方與印度業者會玩血洗市場策略的鴻海。

Thoughts on Third-Party Payment: It's a Fad

We have been through this topic in 2013. Third-party payment hasn’t been an “issue” in Taiwan. There is no problem to solve. 遊戲業攻支付 Q4激戰 「……目前樂點行動支付除將介接橘子集團旗下事業體,在全家、玉山、台灣大車隊、微程式等策略合作布局下,也將大幅拓展樂點行動支付應用場景,未來服務版圖將涵蓋遊戲、電商、P2P、娛樂、餐飲、交通、消費等線上至線下領域… 劉柏園表示,現階段將由自動找零的小額支付據點開始切入民生應用,讓消費者在販賣機、自助洗衣機、置物櫃、停車場等據點,能夠享受便利的行動支付服務,未來第三方支付也將成為集團營收主力……。」http://udn.com/news/story/7254/1218056 我早在2013年就講過了(http://goo.gl/DqJmEH);第三方支付,從來在台灣就不是一個「有待解決」的問題。沒有問題待解決,你想在這裡開辦事業,當然可以,但是,就得為消費者帶來新價值,否則誰理你。不論智冠歐買尬或橘子,想跳進來玩如果又必須創造新價值,唯一能想像的作法,就是像早期各家銀行為了衝信用卡的發卡量,所提供給消費者的各種優惠。 但是別忘了,當年銀行就信用卡給出優惠衝量,還有兩層的思惟:(1) 循環信用上看20%的利息收入、(2) 信用卡收單還有平均2%以上的清算清分手續費可收。 第三方支付呢? (1) 預付儲值,哪來的利息收入。(2) 悠遊卡能收取之清算清分手續費在超商這些零售點已經低到0.5%以下。 (更別提,悠遊卡還身兼交通票證,遊戲業有什麼?! 你要靠哪邊生出來的錢給消費者優惠?!)…
