No one really knew what Xavier Niel was going to say when he took to the stage at the Olympia on Wednesday, September 18. All we knew was that the founder of Iliad, the parent company of Free, was launching the promotional tour for his new book, soberly titled “Une sacrée envie de foutre le bordel”, a series of interviews with Jean-Louis Missika.
“I myself am the biggest loser on Earth”
This unique performance was a sell-out, with tickets selling out very quickly. For a good hour, Xavier Niel entertained the audience, all won over to his cause, in a stand-up format that he masters to perfection: just look at the way he leads the presentations of new boxes at Free!
Xavier Niel’s show allowed the businessman to give some advice on how to become a billionaire, because after all that was the title of the show. He revealed that the best way to achieve this was to become an entrepreneur, and not to be afraid of prison: in 2004, he was indeed suspected of pimping and money laundering…
He also urged those concerned to make mistakes: ” I myself am the biggest loser on Earth “, he said, listing his resounding failures (such as the aborted acquisition of M6). Between two jokes about competitors and a free distribution of pizzas to the audience (!), the business leader also made an announcement.

And a certain amount of assumed pride… (@Xavier75 @OLYMPIAHALL. “We would have loved to invent the iPhone… But how ashamed we would have been to sell it so expensively.” And to announce: “We will never, ever change the Price of the €2 package.” pic.twitter.com/2fDoXdtC7X

« We will never, ever change the price of the €2 package. “, affirmed Xavier Niel on stage. This famous package, which is an integral part of the history of Free Mobile, will therefore remain forever and ever at this price! It is not with this package that the operator will make money, nevertheless it is a product of appeal and a sales argument to attract the smallest budgets… who one day, perhaps, will choose a better equipped and more expensive subscription.
Currently, the €2 package includes 50 MB of 4G/4G+ data, 2 hours of calls in France, unlimited SMS and MMS, as well as 50 MB in 4G from Europe and the French overseas departments. While the price will never change, Free Mobile recently launched a “booster” system that, for a few euros more, allows you to extend the data sauce: €0.99 for 3 GB, €3.99 for 20 GB. There is no doubt that the operator will add new boosters or improve existing ones to accompany the package.
