Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1751 You won

Zhou Buqi and Cook have only met seven or eight times in total, and there is no excessive friendship, but the dialogue between the two sides is full of sincerity.For example, Cook, his words are actually suspected of leaking commercial secrets.

He said that Jobs would be handed over soon, and he would take over.

This means that changes in Apple's top decision-makers will inevitably be reflected in the stock price.If Zhou Buqi is a small person, you can make a plan at this time, try to sell or short Apple's stock, and you can make a lot of money.

Zhou Buqi went to visit Jobs in the hospital and left after only staying for 10 minutes.

Now Jobs is like a dry bone, thin and fragile, just like a different person, it really can't be done.

However, Jobs did not give up.

Even at the end of his life, he was still full of love for Apple.

After Zhou Buqi left, Jobs said firmly: "Don't doubt it, it must be like this!"

Cook caught his meaning. "Microsoft?"

Jobs said: "Yes, Microsoft! Microsoft will definitely imitate the iPhone and launch a similar product. This is their consistent style. We must prepare in advance and restrict them from the industrial structure."

Cook took a deep breath, "Then deepen the cooperation with Asda."

Jobs said: "In the smart phone market, the biggest opponent is not Asda. The combination of Google and Samsung is the biggest confidant. However, the bigger opponent than Samsung is Microsoft. Microsoft cannot be left behind. We cannot Beat Samsung hard and give Microsoft a growing market."

"Microsoft intends to cooperate with Asda to jointly launch a smartphone equipped with Microsoft's new system."

"Stop them!"

"Ah."

"Microsoft's lethality is far stronger than Google's. Android is an open source system, and it adopts a strategy that is completely opposite to that of the iPhone. Microsoft is different. Microsoft has great ambitions. They want to take both open source and closed paths, just like Like the Windows system on the PC side. We must not give them a chance."

Jobs' understanding of Microsoft is too deep, and Microsoft is much more harmful to the industry than Google.

Cook went on to say: "Microsoft will hold a press conference on the 11th of next month."

"No need!" Jobs sat on the sofa with a bottle in his hand, with a serious face and a firm tone, "Don't wait, it must be like this. Before the press conference, reach an agreement with Zhou! The most important thing , to prevent their cooperation in the field of mobile phones."

"it is good."

Cook led the way and returned. Next, it is time to further promote the cooperation between Apple and Asda.

Zhou Buqi went to the headquarters of Ziwei Star International, and talked with Lu Qi, Kurian, Shen Xiangyang and others. There is also a very important direction, which is the entrepreneurial project on the Ziwei Cloud platform.

At this moment, cloud computing still has a high cognitive threshold.

The entrepreneurial team is willing to use cloud computing services during the entrepreneurial stage, which shows that the team has a firm and accurate understanding of the future development of the technology industry.

This is equivalent to a screening of investment projects.

Entrepreneurial projects that are willing to use Ziwei Cloud are more courageous and innovative than those traditionally thinking entrepreneurial projects that are still purchasing local servers.

Zhou Buqi talked with Kurian for more than an hour, and exchanged views on the future development of cloud computing.

Kurian is particularly confident.

I don’t know if it’s just pretending or bragging, but anyway, it looks like it’s awesome, listing 10 advantages of Ziwei Cloud over Amazon Cloud.

With these 10 advantages, the market should naturally choose Ziweiyun as its main partner!
Especially when Zhou Buqi said that the cooperation between Ziwei Cloud and Microsoft office products might be promoted in the future. With the flagship products of the office series, Kurian's belief in crushing Amazon Cloud was further strengthened.

This somewhat surprised Zhou Buqi.

That's the Amazon cloud!
However, when he heard that Kurian had listed a set of investment data, Zhou Buqi couldn't say anything.

Amazon Cloud started in 03, and in the past seven years, the total global investment has reached 7 billion US dollars.Ziwei Cloud has only been developing its overseas business for 65 years, and its investment scale has reached 3 billion US dollars!
At first glance, Ziwei Cloud’s US$43 billion and Amazon Cloud’s US$65 billion represent more investment in Amazon Cloud.

However, when investing in cloud data centers, the biggest asset is the server.

The server hardware product has obvious timeliness.

As time goes on, the value of hardware products will decrease.

Amazon Cloud invests an average of US$9 million per year, but the equipment that invested US$03 million in 9 may only be worth US$3 million after so many years.

In other words, the cloud data center that Ziwei Cloud has invested 3 million U.S. dollars to build is equivalent to the 9 million U.S. dollars invested by Amazon Cloud back then.

After some equivalent comparisons and conversions...

Kurian has a heartening answer.

Taking Ziwei Cloud as a standard, Ziwei Cloud invested 43 billion U.S. dollars, while Amazon Cloud only invested 39 billion U.S. dollars at most.Ziwei Cloud invests more than Amazon Cloud!

It is easy to understand from the conventional sense. It is not surprising that Ziwei Cloud has more investment and is better than Amazon Cloud.

Zhou Buqi was very happy, but he couldn't be blind.

Indians are too bragging, and it is difficult to tell the truth from the false, and they can't believe all of Kurian's statements.Zhou Buqi still maintains a respect for the Amazon cloud in his heart.

Cloud computing needs to maintain long-term attention, and Kurian cannot be too optimistic.

Next, is the investment project.

Zhou Buqi had already arranged for chief investment officer Alex Jones to choose among the entrepreneurial projects in Ziweiyun, and listed a total of 23 entrepreneurial projects.

Not too much.

Zhou Buqi had time to study one by one, and then...he really discovered the project that caught his eye, a picture website that was very similar to Tang Binchen's Ucgram - Pinterest.

This project aroused the interest of boss Zhou, not because the project report submitted by Alex Jones was wonderful and the project idea was great, but because of the name "Pinterest", he had heard of it!

Zhou Buqi doesn’t know exactly what “Pinterest” does and how it does it, but he only needs to understand a little bit. All the company names he has heard of are often famous and have achieved great success. .

Then there is no need to hesitate.

Zhou Buqi told Alex Jones to immediately look for the "Pinterest" project team, get in touch with them closely, and then look for investment possibilities.

Among the 23 entrepreneurial projects, there is another project that attracted his interest.I have never heard of the name, but the entrepreneurial direction is news streaming media.It is to integrate many news from various channels and push them to users in the form of information flow.

It's a bit like today's headlines.

However, today's headlines are more non-professional self-media, with too much homogeneous content, and a lot of articles from all over the world.This kind of thing cannot be done in developed countries, with strict intellectual property protection.

This kind of news streaming media project is more cooperative with professional media, such as "New York Times", "Wall Street Journal", "Hollywood Journal", etc., pay them a copyright fee, and then transfer it to the app, and the user purchases it in the app Paid membership...you can completely break away from the era of paper media.

There's video streaming, there's music streaming, and of course there should be news streaming.

However, Alex Jones marked this project with only one star, which is "very not recommended", and believes that the business model is too immature.

Another more important point is that the threshold for this thing is very low, and the operation difficulty is relatively small, not as complicated as video and music.

If Ziweixing International wants to do it, it can do it itself, and there is no need to invest in a third party.

Zhou Buqi accepted Jones' statement.

At this time, he received a call from Zhou Shaoning: "You win! Apple wants to negotiate! They are willing to give in on the 'manual' commission!"
