Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1541 Collective Opposition
The capital, Ziweixing headquarters.

decision-making committee.

Prior to this, Zhou Buqi had sent them materials on the technical analysis and application direction of the blockchain, and also popularized the concept of a wave of virtual cryptocurrencies.

Now, even He Yang, Nie Caijun, Han Leshui and other members of the decision-making committee who do not understand technology have a certain understanding of blockchain-related information.

The overall feeling is not optimistic.

It feels too mysterious.

There is no possibility of making any money!
The development of an industry is just like the general trend of the country. If it is divided for a long time, it must be united, and if it is united for a long time, it will be divided.The development of the Internet industry should gradually develop from decentralization to centralization.Centralization has developed to the extreme, and the disadvantages are gradually exposed, and decentralization has become popular.When the disadvantages of inefficiency and high cost of decentralization are revealed, it begins to develop towards centralization again.

Blockchain is a concept of decentralization, while cloud computing is a concept of centralization.

Now, cloud computing has not really been recognized by the whole world, the centralization of the Internet world has not yet been established, and the era of blockchain is still too far away.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Whether it can be realized or not is another matter. The key is to take this concept of cutting-edge technology and give Ziwei Star the cloak of truly promoting the world's technological revolution."

Everyone understands this way of thinking, but it always feels wrong. Zhang Yiming hesitated and said, "In this way, will it form a kind of value that is superfluous in the enterprise?"

He Yang agrees with this view, "I'm also worried."

Guo Pengfei said: "Old Zhou, I know what you mean. In fact, you want to use the guise of future technology and changing the world to attract public attention and gain the respect of Silicon Valley. In order to recruit better talents. Then, in fact, we rely on our core and most practical business to make money. But this...is it a bit split?"

Tang Binchen, who came back from Japan, said: "I think it is split, which will greatly increase the difficulty of management. The business that really makes money for the company is not the darling of the media. The concept of hype without expectations and seeing the future has become a star business. From a fairness point of view, it’s also easy to panic.”

Ji Zi'an said calmly: "The business that is most conducive to the company's development should receive the greatest respect and praise. Instead of a business that is full of doubts and makes everyone confused, it is sought after by everyone like a Hollywood star. We still Be pragmatic."

Wang Xiaozhou has never expressed his opinion much, he only pays attention to his search business, but this time he also made a rare voice, "Maybe the direction of the blockchain is right, maybe the future digital ecology will really become the world of the blockchain. But when this day comes, put the blockchain business in a pivotal position and become a star in the company. Giving star status too early will easily lead to confusion.”

He Yang said slowly: "Let the marketing people do the marketing. If the technicians don't do product and development well, but spend their minds on speculating concepts, I'm afraid it will form a bad atmosphere. Everyone wants to be a star, but the company must promote a value concept that only excellent people can be a star, not who will hype who will be a star."

Zhou Buqi took a deep breath.

He didn't expect it to be the result of unanimous opposition.

Indeed, they were right.

There are indeed big problems with such a value concept. If it is not done well, it will destroy the prosperous situation within the company.This is like a traffic star in the entertainment industry.

The stars in the past all had hard skills. Not only were they beautiful, but they also had to have solid skills in acting and singing.

But traffic stars are different. They don't have any masterpieces, and they just rely on hype to gain attention.

This method, combined with the fan model operated on the Internet, can easily create traffic stars who are popular all over the country in a short period of time, and then there are advertising endorsements and film and television drama appointments.

The final result is that they have harmed movies, TV dramas, and the entire industry.

During this period of time, Zhou Buqi has been planning the idea of ​​relying on the blockchain to speculate concepts, which is really a bit of a traffic star.Maybe he can really succeed and hype Ziweixing International's reputation.

But will this be a small gain?
Once the cloak of hype is really put on, will it affect the other businesses that are working hard in Ziwei Star?Will people panic?
Shen Xiangyang analyzed calmly: "Using some cutting-edge concepts to obtain public media resources is a common marketing method in Silicon Valley over the years. However, it usually happens to startups and small companies. The hype of technology giants often It’s not conceptual hype, but product hype. For example, Google Glass, they really made it, but the technology to expand reality is not good enough, and it has been delayed for a long time; It is really an epoch-making product, not just a concept."

Zhang Yiming agreed, saying: "If we want to bet on the direction of the blockchain, I think we should hype the product, not the concept."

Nie Caijun said: "With Ziweixing's current financial resources, it is not suitable to carry out more cutting-edge explorations, and we should concentrate."

Han Leshui analyzed: "Whether it is Ziweixing or Ziweixing International, the business lines are already very broad. Especially in overseas markets, many products have not really gained a foothold. It is best not to enter a business that is too cutting-edge and disrupt the balance. "

Zhou Buqi nodded.

Definitely.

No need for others to tell, he also understands.

It is impossible for Ziwei Star International to pay too much attention and investment in the blockchain business at the moment.At most, it is to set up a small department with a dozen people, just to speculate on concepts.

But if the speculation concept is not suitable, then it is not suitable to launch blockchain products.

The most important blockchain product is, of course, encrypted virtual currency.

But this is impossible.

Ziwei Xing can launch a virtual cryptocurrency trading platform, but absolutely cannot launch its own encrypted currency such as "Ziwei Coin".Cryptocurrency has been questioned too much, and there are many retail investors who have been harvested by cryptocurrency. Ziweixing cannot do this kind of thing.Ziweixing will not do it, and no technology giant will do it.

Only those start-up companies that have not started their business for a long time and are not afraid of wearing shoes anyway dare to play like this, and they can reap a fortune.

Since everyone is against it, let's give up.

Zhou Buqi respected the opinions of the decision-making committee and said: "What everyone said is reasonable, so let's go back to the blockchain plan."

Then, the group of people at the meeting let out a long sigh of relief.

After going to the office, Zhang Yiming, He Yang and Guo Pengfei followed.

Zhou Buqi asked amusedly: "Have you guys united long ago?"

Zhang Yiming didn't hide anything, he was gentle and calm, "That's right, before you came back, we all studied it and unified our opinions. We also focused on Xu Liangjie's meaning."

"Old Xu?" Zhou Buqi frowned, "What did he say?"

Zhang Yiming said: "He said that your judgment on the future trend of the blockchain and the value of Bitcoin are vague."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "It's indeed vague."

What is the future of blockchain?
do not know!
In the Internet industry, every few years there will be a new concept that is popular all over the world. Some are good concepts. When the industry explodes, it grows up, such as artificial intelligence and cloud computing.

But more concepts basically died after being popular for a few years.

Who knows how many years the blockchain will live?

From a technical point of view, the blockchain does have many benefits, the most important of which is non-modifiable, such as the e-commerce industry.

In normal e-commerce, there is an intermediary organization between buyers, such as Amazon or Taobao.The transaction information will be stored in the server of the intermediary agency, and the intermediary agency will act as a credit endorsement.When a buyer or seller has a problem, they can find an intermediary agency to solve it. If the intermediary agency modifies the data, it will be over.

Blockchain e-commerce can achieve true peer-to-peer without intermediary agencies.Buyers and sellers trade directly, because all transaction information will be stored in all servers deployed around the world, open and transparent.Whether a buyer or a seller defaults, the world will know about it.

For personal credit, there will be no breach of contract.

But here comes the problem, even if the transaction records cannot be modified, what should we do if someone is determined to breach the contract?The buyer does not pay after receiving the goods, and the seller does not deliver the goods after receiving the money.Even if your personal credit is really lost, you can change your account at worst. Anyway, there is no real-name system in Europe and the United States.This is a problem that cannot be solved by the central coordination that lacks an intermediate platform.

Even without an intermediary, it may cost more than with an intermediary.

Centralized platforms such as Amazon and Taobao store a copy of transaction data on their own servers, one is enough, and even if a backup is added, only two are needed.

The blockchain platform needs to store every transaction data on every server connected to the blockchain platform in the world, which may be tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.In this way, the hidden danger of tampering with transaction records can be avoided by modifying the data of a certain server, thereby ensuring the reliability and security of data.

This kind of decentralized server application is much larger than the centralized server application. How much will it cost?
As for Bitcoin, Zhou Buqi knows that the price of this thing will rise sharply in the future, so he is determined to make some extra money by personal investment.But does Bitcoin have real value?do not know!The model of Bitcoin is very similar to that of a Ponzi scheme. Is it a Ponzi scheme disguised as a technology?uncertain!

Once Bitcoin really becomes a scam, and "Ziweixing" and "Bitcoin" are equated again, the brand of Ziweixing will be over, and the foundation of many years will be destroyed.

Artificial intelligence and cloud computing are the core industries of the two Ziwei Star layouts. Zhou Buqi firmly believes that these two directions represent the future.

His firmness is the confidence of the decision-making committee.

Everyone will unswervingly go in this direction.

But the blockchain is not good, Zhou Buqi himself lacks confidence, and others are even less confident.
