Chapter 1464 Building a Platform World
In the past, there were generally two ways to go from Los Angeles to San Francisco, either by plane or by car.

The pace of the plane is too fast, and it is too hasty to go to and out of the airport non-stop.The car is too slow, and the space inside the car is so small, it is a bit tiring to drive for several hours all the way.

However, with the luxury yacht scavenged from Masayoshi Son, it is different.

Go straight to the sea.

With a slow pace, you can relax and take a vacation at sea, and you can effectively combine life and work.

Zhou Buqi is now successful and famous, and has passed the stage of working hard and giving up life.

Even if he is willing to give up, he has to take care of the people around him.

He was not willing to drag Sister Bao to accompany him to run around, his back hurt.

After returning to Los Angeles for one night, Zhou Buqi set off for San Francisco by yacht.There is no way, Ning Yaxian is about to give birth, logically, she should spend more time with her.However, her mother came from China to take care of the two sisters. She was a very responsible woman in a small town with traditional ideas, which was embarrassing.

Sister Zhen Yu stayed in Los Angeles, and she wanted to join Softbank in the third round of talks with NBC Universal and Comcast. All parties were very eager.

Now is the stage of economic crisis, the federal government and California have preferential tax policies.

In other words, close the transaction quickly!
If it continues until next year, maybe the economic relief policy will change.

NBC Universal's valuation can reach 300 billion U.S. dollars. If it makes unreasonable use of the current preferential policies, it may cost an additional 5 million to 8 million U.S. dollars in taxes and fees.

This is too bad.

"Let's go, go back to the cabin, the wind is a bit strong, don't catch a cold."

Zhou Buqi felt that a sea breeze was coming, so he called the bikini girls back to the house, there were Baoshan and Ning Lu, there were Jiang Bingjie and Li Xinwan, and there were four maids who couldn't even pronounce their names but were enchanting and stunning like foxes. .

Among these people, Ning Lu felt that she could be ranked second, besides Xue Baoshan, she was herself.As a secretary, I have a higher status than those two little stars, right?
Miss Bao took his right hand, and Ning Lu ran to his left, took his arm, and said with a smile, "I heard that the negotiation with Sony seems to be over!"

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Almost, I called last night and said that this round is basically done."

"so fast!"

"I'm afraid that the night will have long dreams."

"what?"

Ning Lu was slightly surprised.

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "It's not us, it's Sony. Well, to be precise, it's Sony's foreign president, Howard Stringer, who is more nervous than us."

Ning Lu was puzzled, "Why is he nervous?"

Zhou Buqi hugged the two of them and walked towards the bathroom, then turned back and said: "It's only half an hour away, let's take a shower and get dressed to go ashore."

Jiang Bingjie smiled sweetly, "Okay!"

Zhou Buqi then said slowly: "Howard is an American, Sony is a Japanese company, the internal power distribution is complicated, and there are a lot of senior veterans watching behind. If he can't quickly sign the contract quickly, Give those veterans enough time to react, maybe they will die."

Xue Baoshan tilted her head to look at him, surprised, and asked softly, "Is he? Isn't he the new navigator elected by the elders? Why don't you support him?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Thoughts and interests."

Ning Lu asked, "Because of 'Spiderman'?"

"'Spider-Man'?" Zhou Buqi shook his head and said amusedly, "What is the mere copyright of 'Spider-Man' compared to a large group like Sony? The Council of Elders will not pay attention to these trivial matters. They The focus is on strategy."

Ning Lu shook her head slightly, pouted her mouth, "Boss, I don't understand!"

This is the largest bathroom on the yacht. After Zhou Buqi took over the yacht, he specially asked someone to refit this large bathroom.

The previous bathroom was a private bathroom with a large area, but few facilities, only a large bathtub and two shower heads.The design is very simple and atmospheric, but not very practical.

Zhou Buqi specially found someone to modify it, which is a bit like a public bathhouse in China.

There are 20 shower heads!
Listed on the left and right sides.

This undoubtedly destroys the original high-end aesthetic experience, but the practicality is greatly enhanced. It is no problem for twenty or thirty people to take a shower together.

On a yacht, one must often wear a bikini, have frequent exposure to sea water, and often sunbathe, which requires repeated flushing with fresh water to protect the skin.

With so many people in the family, this large public bathroom can solve the problem very well.

Zhou Buqi has never been to a women's bathhouse to experience it in his life, and this can be regarded as a disguised experience.

When he came to the bathroom, Ning Lu helped him take off his big underpants, and the girls also took off their bikinis, walked naked to a cylinder in the corner, and threw their bikinis into it.

No way, now that the Zhou family is rich, the girls are all extravagant.

Hundreds of dollars in bikinis, less than 3 hours before and after, thrown away after one wear.

In the bathroom, there were Xue Baoshan, Ning Lu, Jiang Bingjie, Li Xinwan, and four beautiful maids who were drafted from Central and North America, all of them gathered together.

Each has its own charm, each has its own coquettishness.

It feels very comfortable for Zhou Buqi to take a bath together.

Especially when he was taking a shower, he didn't have to move a finger, and someone would rush over to serve him.

The only trouble was that there were so many temptations from Bai Huahua that he couldn't help himself because he was so well-informed, so he quickly diverted his attention and put his mind on his work.

I have to go to Ziweixing International to hold a strategy committee in a while, and Zhang Yiming, Xu Liangjie, He Yang, Guo Pengfei, Meng Houkun and others from China will also come over.

It's all said and done, don't delay.

Zhou Buqi used Sony to divert his attention, and continued following Ning Lu's words: "The strategic route designed by Howard Stringer for Sony is actually to create a platform world around Sony's electronic equipment. However, the platform world The core is not the hardware device, but the Internet experience.”

Ning Lu said softly: "Sony's electronic products are so good. Their game consoles, TVs, and camcorders are a level higher than their counterparts all over the world."

"Times have changed. If it was more than a decade ago, Sony could indeed succeed by making better electronic devices. But now it is the Internet age, and the most important thing is to build digital experiences related to devices. For Sony to succeed, it must It has to go beyond the understanding of the device. Just like the iPhone, you can’t think it’s just a mobile phone. If you only start from the perspective of the mobile phone, any mobile phone manufacturer is not their opponent.”

"Boss, don't be so cloudy, people don't understand."

Ning Lu acted like a baby again.

Zhou accidentally glanced at Sister Bao, and found that her expression was as usual, so he was relieved, praised her for understanding the righteousness, and said: "It is that Sony wants to uniformly transform its electronic equipment into a certain platform, and it must stop Act like a device maker. Think like an experience creator—creating a platform where consumers engage, freeing consumers to choose instead of constraining those choices on the platform. Allowing consumers to build what they want on the platform. life, rather than being constrained everywhere. However, to build such a platform, Sony must introduce more and more competing content providers to its own platform. In other words, on its own platform, Sony cannot let Competitors’ content has priority over their own. This is platform thinking, and it goes against traditional Sony business philosophy.”

Xue Baoshan nodded lightly, "Yes, in today's era, the Internet and software dominate the world. If Sony is positioned as a hardware company, it will be difficult to overcome the barrier of allowing consumers to create their own lives, and it will be difficult to build a platform. stand up."

Ning Lu was confused, but she was deeply impressed by the sentence "Consumers create the life they want on the platform", her beautiful eyes sparkled, "Is that the same as "Minecraft"?"

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi couldn't help shivering, not because Jiang Bingjie covered her mouth with a smirk and washed the Yuba under his body, but because of the words of little secretary Ning Lu, ""My World "?game?"

These little secretaries around him all have their own hobbies.

For example, Sun Guanran likes to read online novels, so he set up a pirated website.For example, Feng Muer likes fashion, so she is proficient in various fashion brands. When everyone chooses clothes, they will ask her for advice.

Ning Lu is a lover of casual games. He has played all the social web games on the friends' online, so he smiled and said, "Yes, it's a game. It's a new one. Isn't the strategy committee set up this time to lay out the casual game industry?" .In the past few days, I have downloaded dozens of leisurely games on the computer to try them out, to see if they can help. "Minecraft" is a new game, which is rough in production, but very special in design. It's just... well, like you said, they built a platform, and then players can create their own world in this world."

Zhou Buqi looked at her with burning eyes.

Ning Lu was a little nervous, "Isn't it? I haven't told anyone about the strategy committee, and I haven't leaked the secret."

"What are you afraid of?" Zhou Buqi leaned over and kissed her milk-white face, which was not satisfying, and gave another wet kiss, "Girls who work hard must have good luck!"

Ning Lu understood what he meant, her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she said happily, "Am I right?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, that's the way of thinking. Whether it's electronic devices or games, consumers' self-experience should be followed instead of being imposed. The concept of this game you mentioned is very good. I will pay attention to it later and strive for it. Buy this company!"

"Ah?" Ning Lu's face turned pale, and she waved her small hands repeatedly, "I just said it casually, the workmanship of this game is rough."

Zhou Buqi rubbed her hair, said with a smile: "Don't you like playing games, then I will arrange a new job for you and focus on the casual game market. If there are any interesting games, just tell me, I will To evaluate whether to buy it or not."

"Oh, well... okay."

Ning Lu was dizzy, the feeling of being valued was light.
