Chapter 1831 Don't be in a hurry

It is too difficult to get Google to do it.

However, it is not without chance.

With the launch of the second issue of the "Manual", Google is obviously in a hurry.Google is an Internet giant, and its businesses are so numerous and complex that even Google's own people don't know about them, at least hundreds of businesses.

However, search is the soul of Google, the foundation of Google!

In order to ensure Google's absolute market position in the search field, Google later even gave Apple and Samsung tens of billions of dollars every year, just to allow them to default to Google as a search engine, so as to prevent other search engines from passing through Apple mobile phones and Samsung mobile phones. The channel advantage to promote strongly.

But it’s different now. In the second issue of the "Manual", the recommendation for Google was canceled and replaced with the Bing search launched by Microsoft!

This time, by taking advantage of the offline channel of the "Manual", Bing directly enjoyed the opportunity to contact smartphone users first-hand.

Then, Google couldn't sit still, and started to contact Ziweixing.

But contact is useless.

Let it hang!

Prior to this, Ziweixing and Asda had communicated with Google long ago, and explained to them the significance of the "Manual" project. As long as they are willing to pay advertising fees, they can continue to cooperate.

Unexpectedly, Google was not willing at all.

The main reason is that Ziweixing and Asda have gotten too close to Apple in the past few months, and they have been confronting Google everywhere, which made them very dissatisfied.

Don't worry, take your time!
Next, let's take a look at the influence of the "instruction manual" project in the smartphone market.

智能手机的销售旺季是1月、2月、5月、7月、8月和10月，这第二期的“说明书”是从今年的12月份延续到明年的3月份，包含了两个月的旺季。

As long as everything goes well, the second issue of the "instructions" can show the power of the market, which can greatly increase the pressure on Google.

Let's see!
Zhou Buqi is very self-aware. With Ziweixing International's strength, it may be unrealistic to single out Google.He doesn't even dare to do search business in overseas markets, which is a business destined to lose money.

But it doesn't matter, you can kill with a knife!
Microsoft is ambitious, and has been eyeing the search market for the past few years. Ziweixing can use its own resources to help Microsoft develop the search business, and drive away the wolves!
See what Google does!
Don’t worry now, Zhou Buqi has returned to the capital, and then he brought together Boss Liu, Liu Qing, Lei Jun, Shi Yuzhu, Zhou Shaoning, Yan Guangming and several core executives of ASDA, and talked about building The idea of ​​a complete smartphone supply chain system.

Don't think too high-end, you can't cater to the social trend and aim too high.

Many laymen in the society do not understand the iteration of technological development and are easily fooled.There are still many scientists immersed in ivory towers who lack a clear understanding of the laws of the market, and are advocating high-end technology every day to surpass Britain and the United States.

Remain calm when making decisions.

High-end technology can also be done. At this stage, it must be an IT giant at the level of Ziwei, Baidu, Ali, Penguin, ZTE, Lenovo, and Huawei.

Just like the AI ​​chip design, artificial intelligence and cloud computing that Ziweixing is currently engaged in, they are all considered world-class high-end technologies.

As for those supply chain manufacturers, they are small in scale, weak in strength, have few talents, and have a weak foundation. They don’t even think about high-end technology. Whoever dares to shout slogans is [-]% a liar who deceives the country.

If it can promote the transformation of the mobile phone industry chain from low-end to mid-end within 3-5 years, it will be a big victory.When the mid-range industrial structure is achieved, then look for some relatively weak high-end hilltops to focus on.

At the specific implementation level, Zhou Buqi couldn't participate at all.

He is already an expert in the Internet field, but he really doesn't know anything about hardware manufacturing. He can only make arrangements, strengthen his confidence, determine the policy, and then leave it to others to do it.

Liu Qing will lead the temporary coordinating committee.

After this matter was settled, Zhou Buqi got on the plane and flew directly to Germany.

The business trip this time is estimated to last only 3-5 days, accompanied by two secretaries, Ning Yaxian and Sun Wanran, Ning Lu has already asked for leave to return to her hometown, and is going to take her cousin over.

"Do you want to attend the year-end summary meeting?"

"where?"

Zhou Buqi was a little absent-minded.

Ning Yaxian said softly: "Everything, including Netflix, Ziweixing Digital Media, Universal Pictures, Spotify, Twitter, etc., it's the end of the year, so we have to sum it up!"

"Where am I free?" Zhou Buqi was very helpless, "Let senior sister and younger sister Bao go, I have to keep an eye on my old father-in-law, don't make any big troubles for me. In fact, it's okay if you don't participate, wait until January next year , It’s February, just join the board of directors directly and get a general idea of ​​the situation. I know about Netflix, it’s not a big problem, Twitter...forget it.”

Ning Yaxian asked: "What happened to Twitter?"

Zhou Buqi sighed, and said helplessly: "Twitter is doing something alien, it's not in the territory of Ziwei galaxy at all. Damn it, if it really doesn't work, just sell the shares of Twitter, and it's all over!"

Ning Yaxian nodded lightly, "I think it's fine, it's fine if I sell it, what about Wanwan?"

"Ah?" Sun Guanran was a little embarrassed, this matter was a bit big, "I won't express my opinion, shall I?"

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Tell me, what are you afraid of? Yu private, let's not talk about it. Yu Gong, you are my assistant. You don't even have the right to speak?"

Sun Guanran gave him a white look, and then said with beautiful eyes, "I'm an assistant now? Not a secretary?"

Zhou Buqi said: "You are so good, you are an assistant. I won't tell you, you can go to your secretary."

Sun Guanran pursed her lips and smiled, then thought for a while, "Well, I think it should be sold too!"

"What's the reason?"

"Three o'clock."

"so much?"

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect this girl to have a lot of thoughts, it seems that she usually hides her ambition and aspirations.

Sun Guanran said: "First, we have YikYak, which is our competitor."

"Yeah." Zhou Buqi nodded, it's not surprising, this is the most mainstream thinking inside Ziwei Star International, "What else?"

Sun Guanran went on to say: "Ziweixing International's listing plan is in 2012, but now there are too many businesses that need money, Helo, Ucgram, Ziweiyun, and now they have to spend a lot of money to acquire Lufthansa's IT infrastructure department. , After the acquisition is completed, maybe a sum of money will be invested in the fiber optic business. The place where so much money is spent is too risky. If the shares of Twitter are sold to get the money back, the pressure will be relieved a lot.”

"Haha!" Zhou Buqi was very happy, with a look of admiration on his face, he patted his thigh and asked her to come and sit, "Wanwan is awesome!"

However, he disagrees with this second point of view.

Ziwei Star International is under a lot of financial pressure, and has to rely on issuing corporate bonds to survive.If it doesn't work, you can start another round of financing before the IPO. In short, it's not a big problem.

It would be too wasteful to say that selling Twitter for money.

This is the main reason why many people in Ziweixing suggested selling Twitter, but Zhou Buqi did not agree for a long time.

Twitter's current market valuation is too low!

Twitter has just completed its E round of financing, raising $2 million and diluting its 5% stake.In other words, the valuation of this round of Twitter is 40 billion US dollars.

From a market standpoint, that's a lot.

But Zhou Buqi was not satisfied.

Ziweixing’s shareholding in Twitter has been diluted for several rounds, and only 32% is left. If it is sold at the price of the E round, it will recover more than 10 billion US dollars.

Far below expectations!

In Zhou Buqi's plan, this share should not only recover 100 billion US dollars, but at least 50 billion US dollars should be recovered.

It's still early.

In fact, it doesn't take long to wait, the current trend of the Internet bubble has already begun.By this time next year, the standard will basically be met.

Sun Guanran got up, walked around the table and sat on his lap facing each other, with his arms gently around his neck.The flight was very long, and she changed into a thin red nightgown as soon as she boarded the plane. Her fluffy body was very comfortable to hold in her arms.

Zhou Buqi kissed her and asked with a smile, "What about the third one?"

"Google."

"Oh?"

"Aren't you going to solve Google's troubles now? It just so happens that Google has always wanted to deploy social business. In the past few years, Google has launched more than a dozen social products and acquired several social networking sites, but they have not developed. Google has been Wanted to acquire Twitter, but had no chance to enter the market, and even the opportunity to invest was rejected.”

Sun Guanran's words really woke up Zhou Buqi.

Yes!

Google has been coveting Twitter, but Twitter founder Ivan Williams has a grudge against Google.Back then, Ivan founded Blogger, a blog site, and sold it to Google.Then he joined Google and was in charge of the Blogger project, but he was not reused and was excluded.

No way, he left Google to start a new business and founded Odeo.

Twitter is a project of Odeo company.

Because of such old grievances, Google has never been able to reach out to Twitter, or even get an investment opportunity.If Ziweixing sells its Twitter shares to Google, then Google will be the largest shareholder of Twitter.

Moreover, the founder of Twitter does not have super voting rights, and Google will have the opportunity to get the other investors and take Twitter completely.

In other words, Twitter may become the most important bargaining chip in the negotiation between Ziweixing and Google!
This is indeed a very careful and delicate idea.

Seeing that he was silent, Sun Guanran blinked and asked cautiously, "How is it? Am I right?"

Zhou Buqi laughed loudly, "Yes! Very right! Just do as you say!"

Sun Guanran said happily: "Then I will inform Lu Qi to prepare materials for Twitter?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Don't worry, the current Internet industry is changing too fast. In the next one or two years, the PC Internet will usher in the highest peak, and the valuation of Twitter will also rise. Wait and see, time is on our side Here."
