Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1616 Club Ecosystem

The tie game was maintained until the end, and Zhou Buqi continued his honeymoon trip and flew directly to Germany.While honeymoon, while working.

Kurian is accelerating the planning of the cloud computing industry and intends to formally establish an in-depth strategic partnership with the German software giant SAP Group.

In fact, Zhou Buqi has already been in operation, and has reached a verbal agreement with the founder of SAP, Mr. Dietmar Hope.

With the stable operation and market expansion of Ziwei Cloud, Kurian felt that it was time to deploy software services.That is, when users use Ziwei Cloud, they can directly use cloud office software through the cloud operating system.

In fact, it is a virtual machine logic.

Users turn on their computers, whether it is an Apple system, a Microsoft system, or a Linux system, and directly enter the "virtual machine" of Ziwei Cloud's cloud operating system platform from the local system.

All the work of the staff is done on this cloud operating system platform.

This also means that the cloud operating system must provide enough services. For example, many users like to use Microsoft Office.If the cloud operating system also has office services, it will be convenient, and users can use it directly on the cloud operating system instead of using office on the Windows system and then jumping to the cloud operating system to complete the docking of content.

However, Ballmer is now in charge of Microsoft. This person's monopoly thinking is too strong and he is unwilling to cooperate with competitors.When he steps down and the Indians come to power, Microsoft will become more open, and it will encourage cooperation while competing, and it is possible to cooperate with Microsoft.

In addition to Microsoft, several other major software giants are also among them.

SAP is the most critical point.

Zhou Buqi had already communicated with SAP, and the cooperation between the two parties was a strong alliance to fight against the Silicon Valley giants.In the past ten years, SAP has been almost the only technology company in the world that can stand up to the Silicon Valley giants, and it is the pride of Germany and even the whole of Europe.

Cloud computing companies are more of a platform attribute, and users can purchase services on the platform.SAP's software is a tool attribute, and what it sells is a product.In other words, after users purchase SAP's software on Ziweiyun's platform, the platform can make money from a commission.

Unless there are new changes in the situation of the cloud computing industry, it is impossible for SAP to "capitalize the enemy", and it is more appropriate to choose to cooperate with Ziweiyun.

In this business, Zhou Buqi just showed his face, and then left with Mr. Hope to meet his team - Bundesliga Hoffenheim.

Hoffenheim is a "village" team, a very small club. Every home game, the whole village has to be dispatched to fill the small home court.

But it is such a small team, which has been promoted from the amateur group in the past few years, and then gradually promoted to the Bundesliga and Bundesliga, and has become a strong team.

This is supported by Hope's banknotes, and more importantly, the team has a godfather-level head coach-Ralph Rangnick.

Zhou Buqi took a fancy to Rangnick.

It is not to find a successor for Ferguson, but to create a football ecosystem.

This is also impossible.

He has made a promise that he will own a top domestic club within two years and contribute to the development of Chinese football.

Normally, this is a trivial matter.

Although playing football costs money, that small amount of money is nothing to Boss Zhou. He can respond to the leader's call and use the market to promote the development of the national football team.

But if Zhou Buqi is clear, this method will not work at all.

Even if they spent huge sums of money to buy many world-class stars like many Chinese Super League teams later, and even won the AFC Champions League, it seems that the building has been built, but in fact it collapsed.

Once it collapses, these bosses who have spent billions or tens of billions for Chinese football will be sprayed with blood, as if they are the chief culprits in the destruction of Chinese football.

Zhou Buqi didn't want to be one of them.

There is also a more important point, that is, he has a high status now, with world-class prestige and reputation, and he has some principled pride personally.

Let him enter the field to play gold dollar football like other businessmen... This is really a shame.

He wants to be a leader, not a follower!
Just like Ziweixing Global's ambition is to promote the new pattern of Hollywood, Ziweixing Digital Media and Manchester United will work together to promote the progress of the European football operation model.

Every step is changing the world, this is what a world-class entrepreneur should have.

Either don't participate in the domestic football business. Since he has participated, Boss Zhou's feathers are so precious, he must come up with something different that will catch the eyes of the Chinese people, so as to be worthy of his status.

Pursuit: Really contribute to the development of Chinese football and promote the healthy development of national football.

If this can really be done, it will really satisfy both the individual level and the national level, and this is the most anticipated result.

However, Zhou Buqi knew in his heart that with his meager strength, it was almost impossible to do it. The crux of football does not lie in the football industry at all. There is no way to prescribe the right medicine. How can he cure the disease?

So we must find a way out in advance.

To find a way, even if it fails one day in the future, from the leaders of the Football Association to football professionals to the most extensive fan base, nothing can be said.

Even if it fails, everyone should miss and appreciate Boss Zhou's exploration in the field of Chinese football.

Such a big goal is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Zhou Buqi has a candidate, the current head coach of Hoffenheim Rangnick.

This is a footballer with real ambitions.

"Ralph? No, this won't work." Mr. Hope rejected the suggestion without thinking about it. "He is the head coach of the team and has a contract. He can't go anywhere."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "I read on the news that he had conflicts with you?"

"Hey."

Hope sighed, very helpless.

"Just let it go."

Zhou Buqi gave his own suggestion. Sitting in Lao Huo's Mercedes-Benz, I was a little frightened. The speed of the car was too fast, right?

Not to mention two hundred, it is also one hundred and eighty.

How scary.

In the evening, Shi Jinglin also arranged a program for the bridegroom officer, the kind of program where the speed of the car would make people's hormones burst.Unexpectedly, it was not idle in broad daylight, like a racing car.

Hope is used to the super high speed, and he said helplessly: "I used to be in the low-level league, which is actually okay. After all, the level is low, and the attention is not so high. Just pay for players. But when I came to the Bundesliga, it was very difficult. Difficult. Rangnick wants more investment, more competitive players. It makes it difficult for me."

Zhou Buqi said: "50+1 policy?"

"Yes." Hope nodded, with a complicated look on his face, "In fact, Hoffenheim's expenditure this season has also exceeded the standard, and it does not conform to the Bundesliga's practice."

In order to protect the healthy development of the football industry in Germany, professional clubs have a "50+1" policy, that is, even if a big boss owns 100% of the team, it is useless, and 50% must be added to 1 vote The right to professional football people and fans.In fact, it is to prevent the team from becoming a toy in the hands of the super rich.

As a result, big bosses can't invest even if they have money.

To vote is to intervene in the football market by non-football funds, which is to undermine the policy.Of course the fans of this club like it, but the boss is under too much pressure.

Hope is the richest man in Germany, and he is not short of money at all, but it is useless for him to have money, because there are policies blocking it.Hoffenheim has broken the rules in the Bundesliga in the past two seasons, and there has been a wave of crusade against him in the industry.

What to do next?
Hope put down his status as the richest man, and asked the Bayern football bigwigs for help to settle the matter.The price was to sell Hofheim's main midfielder Luis Gustavo to Bayern at a low price during the winter break of the 2010-2011 season.

The football business is all operated in the dark, playing with the world's sophistication.

Hope got it right, but he pissed off Rangnick.Because Rangnick doesn't want to sell the main force of the team, let alone the core of the team to the main competitors.Hope bypassed Rangnick and pushed the deal.Rangnick became angry and resigned immediately.

In other words, even if Rangnick does not leave Hoffenheim now, after another half a year, the conflict between him and Mr. Hope will break out and he will leave Hoffenheim voluntarily.

Zhou Buqi glanced at him and said meaningfully: "The 50+1 policy has many benefits. But there is a disadvantage, which is that it will intensify the Matthew effect of the strong. If you can't get around this If we don’t solve the limitation of investment funds, I’m afraid we will never win the Bundesliga championship.”

"Huh?" Hope immediately heard that there was something in his words, "Do you have a solution?"

Zhou Buqi smiled, "Yes."

"Tell me!"

Hope knew that this young guy was a genius, and he had created a series of amazing commercial achievements. Especially in the past two days, Manchester United's stadium advertising model has spread throughout the European football world, which is shocking and admirable.

If anyone can cross the "50+1" policy limit, it must be this resourceful Boss Zhou.

Hope also said very sincerely: "I have already retired, and my life in my later years is as ordinary as water. The only thing that can excite me is my team. I don't care about money, what I want is the championship."

Zhou Buqi said, "Give me Rangnick."

"what?"

Old Hope's face changed, his expression was weird, and he felt that he had been tricked.

Zhou Buqi hurriedly said: "It's true, I have a huge plan for the football industry. If Hoffenheim joins in, it can greatly improve its own strength. In the words of our Internet, the single product Rapid development is inseparable from a huge ecosystem behind it. Use the resources of the ecosystem to promote the market competitiveness of individual products, and you can stand out!"

"What? Ecosystem?"

"What?"

Zhou Buqi was stunned, speechless.

Depend on!
This old man is also the founder of the technology giant SAP. He doesn't know such a trendy concept?The Germans have very little understanding of the concept of speculation and strategy, so they will work hard.

Zhou Buqi said: "The combination of multiple products, cross subsidies, mutual support, each taking what it needs, each having its own benefits, is an ecosystem. For example, the cooperation between Ziweiyun and SAP is a strong alliance."

"Multiple products..." Although Mr. Hope is old and can't keep up with the trend, he is still smart. He reacted immediately and said in surprise: "One Manchester United is not enough, you still want to buy a new team?"

Zhou Buqi said: "That's right, I want to create a football club ecology!"
