Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1851

After Larry Page became the CEO of Google, the relationship between Ziweixing and Google has a great foundation.For several days, the two sides sent seven or eight emails in succession.

Zhou Buqi is not in a hurry.

Larry Page is different. He has just taken office, and he always has to make some achievements first.In addition to him leading Google to stride into the social field, there is also the need to keep the basic disk of search.

Now, there is only one remaining Google search's biggest rival in the global market, and that is Microsoft's Bing.

Relying on its deep pockets and its simple and rough Internet style, Microsoft has reached an agreement with a number of websites such as Yahoo, America Online, and Amazon, and Bing will become the default search engine for these websites.

What's more, Microsoft found Ziweixing on the mobile terminal!

Spending a huge amount of money to win the offline promotion channel of the "Manual" project, this made Google feel a great crisis.

After Larry Page came to power, he had to solve this problem first.

He made two demands:

One, Google will become the default recommended search engine for "manuals".

Two, be exclusive!
In other words, there can only be one search platform on the "Manual", and that is Google, and it is not allowed to advertise for Microsoft in the future!Isn't it just giving money, it's all trivial matters!

Because the "Manual" also advertised two free advertisements for Google Chrome and YouTube, Larry Page was very angry and said that in the next "Manual" cooperation, Google will directly bid 1 million U.S. dollars !
Zhou Buqi only gave an ambiguous response.

Larry Page is in a hurry here. He is not a pure manager, but a tech-savvy expert who wants to change the world with idealism.

He is really not interested in engaging in some conspiratorial business operations with Zhou Buqi, which has no meaning in changing the world.

Quickly resolve conflicts and resolve disputes.

Then the two sides join forces and work together towards a common goal.

So Larry Page invited Zhou Buqi to meet in private, wanting to have a good talk about Google and Ziweixing, as well as related cooperation with Asda.

Zhou Buqi agreed, saying that he would go to the United States next month.

Next month, Changyou will be launched in the United States, and Zhou Buqi has to go to the market to ring the bell.This time, he has made up his mind. He wants to take down Zhang Chaoyang and Wang Fang together, and then take office by himself as the chairman of Changyou.

Lao Zhang also seemed to be in a hurry, so he took a private plane to Spring City directly on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Zhou Buqi called Shi Jinglin, and the couple went to greet her together.

It is inconvenient to go home.

Go directly to Nanhu Hotel.

"You two..." Zhang Chaoyang looked at the way the two of them were not shy about holding hands, and had some guesses, "Are you in love?"

Zhou Buqi said: "She is my wife."

Zhang Chaoyang was surprised and opened his eyes wide, "Your wife? No...not..."

Lao Zhang actually knew something.

However, this scene is shocking.Isn't this kid's wife the very mature Wen Zhixia who looks like a royal sister? How did she become Miss Shi?

Zhou Buqi said frankly: "I divorced Wen Zhixia and married her last year."

"you……"

Zhang Chaoyang stared at him blankly, a little speechless.

Asshole!
What a scumbag!
Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "Okay, I'm not interested in discussing my personal affairs with you, what's going on with Changyou? Have you investigated it clearly?"

Zhang Chaoyang straightened his face, nodded and said: "Well, the investigation is almost done."

Zhou Buqi was very concerned, "How is it? Is it the same as what I said?"

Zhang Chaoyang was silent for a while, and then sighed, "It's more serious than what you said."

"Cough cough..."

Zhou Buqi really didn't know what to say.

Zhang Chaoyang said: "After the team split, some people left Changyou to go out and work alone, and developed a new game "Genghis Khan"..."

"I know that."

"Well, because of this incident, Wang Fang was dealt a big blow. He began to be suspicious internally and ordered to strengthen the monitoring of the R&D department. Only a few computers in the department are equipped with USB ports, blocking any possibility of taking materials away from the company."

"pass!"

Zhou Buqi shook his head.

The company and its employees are mutually reinforcing.The best companies must find ways to inspire their employees' sense of ownership, and let employees treat the company as their own home.

How can employees have a sense of belonging if the company guards against employees like thieves?Even if we chanted slogans such as "everything for employees" and "employees first" every day, it could only be a mere formality.

The company does not trust its employees, and the result will inevitably be reverse elimination. Excellent employees have left, leaving a bunch of time-consuming idlers.

In his previous life, Zhou Buqi had no contact with the company Changyou, so he didn't know much about the specific situation. He only knew that this company was once popular all over the country, but it soon died down.

Now the stubborn disease has been found.

It's the messy stuff that CEO Wang put in the company.

Zhang Chaoyang went on to say: "The real leader of "Tian Long Ba Bu" is Shang Jin, and Wang Fang did not participate in the development of the game. He couldn't tolerate such rumors. He turned down countless management jobs and devoted himself to the development of "The Deer and Ding Tale". Research and development. He wanted to achieve a good result and even recreate the miracle of Tianlong, so as to make the most powerful counterattack against the harsh noise and betrayers in the company. Unexpectedly, this game failed, and he fell into a worse quagmire. "

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "This is not a reason! Who has never failed? The key is the problem of character and mentality."

Zhang Chaoyang nodded. After some investigation, he has basically agreed with Boss Zhou’s opinion. It is necessary to fire the king. I'm a little... dazed, besides introducing the Taiyi Sect to strengthen the management of employees, he also focuses on promoting female employees."

Shi Jinglin was fascinated by what she heard, thinking that the world is full of wonders, but she didn't expect that Internet companies also have such brainwashing management methods like MLM companies, "Promoting female employees? This should be a good thing, right? In many ways, women are no better than men. Poor, especially online games. Only when there are enough female players can more male players be attracted to join, and only then can it better stimulate the emotions of showing off, showing off wealth, and men and women.”

Zhang Chaoyang laughed and said, "Ms. Shi is a veteran game player?"

Shi Jinglin shook her head lightly, and said with a smile: "I don't play games, but Wu... I have a very good friend who often plays online games. I think you can get married in online games. This design can attract many people." Dissatisfied players in the real world find satisfaction in the game world.”

Zhang Chaoyang gave a thumbs up, "Amazing, one word expresses the essence of online games!"

Shi Jinglin twirled her hair by her ears, and smiled sweetly, "Mr. Zhang, don't give me a high hat. My husband should criticize me for being ignorant when I get home."

"Ok?"

Zhang Chaoyang was slightly taken aback, then burst out laughing.

Don't worry about this, it's cool!
It really is baby Linlin!
He is majestic at home and is not afraid of the sky and the earth, but when he goes out, he really has face!

I really didn't love her in vain last night!

Zhang Chaoyang went on to say: "Promoting female employees is indeed a good thing for some game designers. The proportion of female employees in game companies is much higher than that of ordinary Internet companies. But this Wang Fang is different. He vigorously promotes female high-level No matter, because he no longer trusts male executives, while female employees are less ambitious and will be more loyal and support him. After the failure of "The Deer and Ding Tale", the positions of executives above the director level have moved 6 places, and 3 were fired. Three people left after job-hopping. The six newcomers are all women.”

Shi Jinglin frowned slightly.

This is obviously going to the extreme, and it is definitely a manifestation of bewilderment.

Zhou Buqi said bluntly: "Okay, now everyone knows about Changyou, how can we solve it? No matter what, Wang Fang must not stay! I can't let him ruin the globalization I have worked so hard to build." game industry layout."

Zhang Chaoyang said: "In more than a month, Changyou will be listed."

Zhou Buqi glanced at him, "What do you want?"

Zhang Chaoyang turned to ask: "Do you have a suitable candidate to take over Changyou's business? How about letting the current president take over as CEO..."

"No!" Zhou Buqi resolutely rejected this plan, "The current team is useless and polluted. Changyou's senior management must be replaced."

Zhang Chaoyang saw that his idea was so righteous, so he couldn't say much. He was at a loss in handling this matter. As the chairman, he completely ignored the company's internal rules and regulations. "What should I do if I go public?"

"It's really a hassle."

Zhou Buqi felt a bit of a headache.

Changyou is now a big company, with a market capitalization of over US$200 billion after listing, almost one-third of Activision Blizzard.It is not easy for such a large company to go public, but it is not as simple as Taizun Real Estate.

Roadshow is an essential part.

For a company like Taizun Real Estate to go public, there is actually no need for a road show. It is enough to go to the Hong Kong government to hold a few receptions, build good relations with local business leaders and financiers, and just notify them.

The scale of Taizun Real Estate is very small, and the financing is less than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars.

The scale of financing is not large, and a direct IPO can be easily completed.

Big companies like Changyou can’t do it, and the financing can reach 30 billion US dollars.

With such a large-scale fund, it is too difficult to directly conduct an IPO to raise funds in the secondary market.This requires a roadshow.The so-called road show is a means of promoting and attracting investment partners.

The normal listing financing is to sell the stock to the investment bank at the issue price, and then the investment bank sells it to the secondary market.Once the financing scale is too large, such as the amount of Changyou's 30 billion US dollars, the investment bank will pour the stock into the secondary market... then it will be over, and the stock price will collapse directly.

Therefore, other financial institutions are needed to cooperate with investment banks when issuing stocks.Investment banks only take part, for example, stocks worth $10 billion, and the remaining $20 billion will be distributed to giant financial institutions such as pension funds, national funds, large private equity institutions, and insurance companies.

In this way, a very large-scale IPO can be successfully completed.

The listing of Changyou is not super-large-scale, but it can be considered large-scale.

The roadshow is over.

It costs a lot.

At this time, I really can't delay Changyou's listing because of some internal affairs, otherwise all the previous work will be in vain.

In any case, let's talk about it first!
