Chapter 1783 Contradiction of Complementarity
Based on such an analysis, outsourcing business in Europe has a bright future.

Although websites, software, hardware and other fields are collectively referred to as IT, their respective technical directions are different, and each field has a strong professionalism.

The German software giant SAP is very powerful in the software industry, but it has made little progress in the field of websites. Just like IBM, the e-commerce system was ten years ago and has long been eliminated by the times.

Software...especially B-side software, the desire to upgrade is actually not that great, as long as it can be used. C-end Internet products are different. They are open to the public and have a large scale. If they do not upgrade for ten and a half months, accidents will easily occur.

Europe is an Internet desert, and high-end talents in the Internet field are all monopolized in the hands of Silicon Valley giants, with only one exception-Ziweixing.

There is no reason for Ziweixing to miss such an active market with an annual output value of tens of billions of euros!

The Internet environment in Europe and China is really different.

Including Korea and Japan, many engineers are in their [-]s and [-]s, and they are still engaged in the development of the most basic C and C++, writing code all their lives.

This is impossible in the country.

It is because they have no one.

There are not enough young people, and the vacant jobs can only be reserved for those old men.If it is still not enough, then we can only look for outsourcing.

The domestic outsourcing market is far less active than in Europe, because there is a serious surplus of computer talents in China, and many people have given up this industry to do other things because they cannot find a job or the pressure of competition is too great.

This means that many small and medium-sized companies in China do not need to outsource when they are working on some not-so-high-end projects, but just recruit people from the market to develop them themselves.

In addition to the factor of talent density, there are two other reasons.

First, there are particularities in the country. There is a public opinion call for "independent research and development" in the market. It seems that only self-developed products are reliable, and outsourced products are not trustworthy. As a result, many companies will develop their own instead of looking for outsourcing.

It's actually a credit issue.

Just like many people don't want to go to restaurants to eat, they like to cook at home.The quality of the meals cooked by myself is guaranteed, and if I go to a restaurant to eat...if it is not guaranteed, I will use old sow pork, waste oil, technology and hard work.

Second, the convenience of layoffs.

Domestic small and medium-sized enterprises generally have imperfect systems and are very harsh on employees.For example, to do a small project, we need 10 technicians, so we recruited them directly from the market.

What should I do if the project fails and these 10 people are no longer needed?
Just cut it off.

There are no liquidated damages or severance compensation!
Countries such as Europe, South Korea, and Japan will not work. If you are doing a small project, if you recruit employees.Once the project fails or the plan is changed, it will cause redundant staff.

This is troublesome, want to fire?
Can't do it!
The cost of forced layoffs is too high, and the legal risk is too high.

So at this time, don't recruit people, just find an outsourcing agency to help make it.

From this point of view, it is entirely feasible for Ziweixing to carry out outsourcing services based on Internet products in Europe, including the Korean and Japanese markets.Have a good chat with Kurian tonight!
That night, Zhou Buqi had a small gathering with Xue Baoshan, Xu Baihui, Meng Houkun, Zhang Yinlei, Guo Pengfei, and Ji Zian. They mainly talked about the future trend of Fantuan.com.

In the past few years, under the leadership of Zhang Yinlei, Fantuan.com has developed very well, covering almost all university campuses in major first- and second-tier cities across the country.

However, there is now a group buying boom in China, and the drama of "thousand regiments war" is being staged.

This kind of social group buying is not the same as on-campus group buying, mainly because of group buying coupons.For example, in the group buying launched by KFC, users snap up coupons on the group buying website, and then they can enjoy preferential treatment in KFC stores offline.

To some extent, this model is very close to the takeaway model of Fantuan.com.

It's all about connecting with merchants.

For example, KFC can have coupons for group buying and also provide takeaway services.If group buying and takeaway are integrated, an aggregation effect can be formed, which greatly utilizes resources and improves product functions at the same time.

As early as many years ago, Zhou Buqi had a plan for Fantuan.com.

This evening's gathering of the "Ten Schools Entrepreneurship Alliance" mainly talked about this matter.

Zhou Buqi wants to resign Zhang Yinlei!

Instead of expelling him, he was demoted from the top of Fantuan.com to the second in command.Then, Ziweixing dispatched a core executive to manage Fantuan.com, leading Fantuan.com from the campus market to the social market.

This person is Wang Xing.

It is not easy to move forward with this matter.

Mainly mentality.

In the past few years, Fantuan.com has not received too much attention from the boss of Zhou Da. It was Zhang Yinlei who worked hard to lead people to do it.Now that it's finally done and some results have been achieved, okay, the headquarters is going to send people over to pick peaches!
Fortunately, Zhang Yinlei is one of his own, if it were someone else, he might just shoot the case and leave.

It needs the unanimous appeasement of those people in the "Ten Schools Entrepreneurship Alliance".

Zhang Yinlei didn't speak much all night, and was in a bad mood.

This is not surprising.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Zhou Buqi took Baoshan home and took a shower first.Then, I went to the home theater to watch a movie with Shi Jinglin, Aunt Xue, Ning Lu, and Sun Guanran.

It is invested by Jieyu Media, and "Let the Bullets Fly" has not yet been officially released.

After watching the movie at 11 o'clock, Zhou Buqi picked up Baoshan and planned to go back to the room to do business. He didn't care about their eyes, and turned around and asked, "Linlin, are you coming?"

"Don't go."

Shi Jinglin shook her head and refused.

"Lulu?"

"I'm not feeling well."

"Wan Wan?"

"I... oh, fine."

Sun Guanran looked around, and there was nothing she could do, she had no room to refuse.If she refuses again, Aunt Xue will have to step up to her, which is impossible.

At 12 o'clock in the evening, Baoshan and Wanran took a shower and were ready to go to bed, but Zhou Buqi couldn't do it, put on their pajamas, and went to work in the study.

Go talk to Kurian about outsourcing.

really weird.

This is not his scope of authority, and he actually made such a suggestion.

The two parties used Weishu video calls.

It was noon on Kurian's side, and he was eating a pizza with curry. He quickly replied: "Outsourcing and cloud computing can complement each other."

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi was puzzled, "No way? Isn't it contradictory?"

Outsourcing means that companies do not do online business, but let others do it for them.

Cloud computing is to reduce the difficulty for enterprises to carry out online business.

This is where there is a contradiction.

If the outsourcing business wants to be active, it must raise the threshold of online business, so that those companies can't do it themselves, so they can only outsource.However, cloud computing will lower the threshold for enterprises to do online business, and will reduce the total amount of outsourcing business.

Kurian said: "Yes, from the perspective of the industry, there is a contradiction. But this is a contradiction of complementarity. From the perspective of a single company, there may be a positive correlation."

"How to say?"

"The emergence of cloud computing and the increasing number of open source projects have greatly lowered the threshold for independent development, which will definitely lead to fewer and fewer outsourcing orders for Internet products."

"Correct."

"However, cloud computing is the direction of the future." Kurian was really embarrassed to eat in front of the big boss, and quickly put down the pizza, wiped his mouth, and said in a deep voice, "Those who used to rely on outsourcing to survive Enterprises, if they want to change their concept and do it themselves, it is unnecessary to spend a lot of money to purchase basic equipment, they will buy cloud services. If both parties can establish outsourcing services before, then customers will most likely choose Ziwei Cloud.”

Zhou Buqi thought for a while, his eyes lit up, "This is the same as the layout of our streaming media!"

Kurian laughed and said: "Yes, almost! Now more and more companies have their own websites, and most of them actually rely on outsourcing. If we can scale up in the outsourcing market, then the Outsourcing orders, you can directly use your own cloud services. Once in the future, customers don’t want to outsource and want to do it themselves. All products are on Ziwei Cloud, and they will still be users of Ziwei Cloud. Users will not Nothing was lost."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, that's the logic."

Kurian said: "The momentum of cloud computing has already picked up. I estimate that IBM, Oracle, and SAP will soon deploy in this direction. They have a strong advantage in the outsourcing market and must rely on their own IT infrastructure. These customers can quickly help them complete the transition to the cloud computing industry."

Zhou Buqi said: "There is no need to worry too much about this. Although cloud computing is also a B-side business, the core technology is big data and artificial intelligence. In the final analysis, this industry still needs Internet giants to play well."

Kurian said: "Now the annual output value of the outsourcing market exceeds 400 billion U.S. dollars, and the output value of the cloud computing industry is only 10 billion U.S. dollars. With the development of cloud computing, it will definitely take away the outsourcing business market. If IBM, Oracle, SAP, etc. If the giants can have a strong control and transfer the output value that originally belonged to the outsourcing market to their own cloud computing platform, their cloud computing business will definitely develop."

If the transfer is successful, it is successful.

If the transfer fails, customers will be lost, and traditional IT giants such as IBM and Oracle will face the crisis of being eliminated by the times.

It was like that in the past.

Both IBM and Oracle have been severely impacted by the cloud computing industry, and both have encountered development difficulties.The two companies chose almost the same response method: changing the CEO, deploying cloud computing, and constantly buying and buying in an attempt to exchange money for time.

In contrast, Microsoft is very powerful.

The time for transformation is earlier.

Moreover, Microsoft is not just a traditional IT giant like IBM and Oracle. Microsoft has been working hard to be at the forefront of the times, and has been competing with giants such as Yahoo, Google, and Facebook in the Internet field.

Microsoft is both a traditional IT giant and an Internet giant.
