Top of the Great Era

Chapter 2169 The dawn of the secret plan

On January 1th, the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, Ziwei Star is officially on holiday.

Zhou Buqi is also going back to the northeast.

Besides Aunt Xue, Sun Guanran and Ning Lu, there are four little secretaries who are willing to follow him to the Northeast for the New Year, namely Guan Nanqing, Gu Zanli, Yan Qiqi and Zhao Li Muge.

It is not only the Chinese New Year, but also seeing the world.

Take a look at how the big boss's house celebrates the New Year.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I got on the plane, I already saw the world.Accompanying them on the plane were four exquisite female stars, Yang Mi, Jiang Bingjie, Li Xinwan and Di Lireya.

We take a plane to the northeast.

Even Zhou Buqi felt a little dazzled.

There are too many people.

There is still a batch at home.

Even if the Zhou family's ancestral home had three large villas, they still couldn't live there.Maybe Zhou Buqi had to work hard again, and he was squeezed into a bed with a group of people in a bedroom.

Fortunately, there are only a few days in spring.

It passed.

Chinese New Year, since it is happy, it is also hard work.

On the plane, Gu Zanli was a little dazed.

When he was on a business trip to the United States before, the big boss told her that he adopted a goddaughter who was Uyghur like her and introduced him to them after returning to China.

For this reason, Gu Zanli specially bought three "Barbie dolls" in Hollywood, and wanted to give them to this little girl to make her happy.

We meet now.

The whole person is numb.

It turned out to be a female college student studying at Nortel, only two years younger than her.

At this moment, I realized that the big boss still has such an identity.He is not only an important shareholder of Jieyu Media and Huayi Group, but also a hidden godfather in the entertainment industry.

Although Ziweixing is on vacation, many executives have not left yet.

Among them is Zhang Yiming.

During the Spring Festival, more than 600 people from Ziweixing headquarters will stay in the company to work overtime.With so many employees working overtime, it is not enough to pay overtime pay, but also to give them some spiritual support.

If Zhou Buqi is not around, then it can only be Zhang Yiming.

He will not go back to his hometown for the New Year.

I made an appointment for the New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve, and I will eat it with the employees who stayed at the company to work overtime in the large cafeteria in the park.

Zhou Buqi "ran away", feeling a little sorry, so he called Zhang Yiming, somewhat expressing condolences and appeasement.However, after a few words, the topic turned to work.

When it comes to the development of the mobile Internet, Zhang Yiming said happily: "The development is very smooth. There are now 18 mobile apps in China with more than 3000 million users, and Ziweixing includes 12 of them."

Zhou Buqi had never seen the data in this area, and he was a little unbelievable, "Is there so much?"

Zhang Yiming said with a smile: "Let's work hard early, and the layout is faster. WeChat, Weibo, Weidian, Toutiao, Youyou.com, UC Browser, UC Mobile Assistant, UC Reader, Weidian Mobile Guard, Weidian Browse device, Weidian Music and Meitu Xiuxiu.”

"What about the school intranet?"

"No, the Xiaonei network is about 2000 million."

"The market is not enough."

Zhou Buqi was very impressed.

Today's Xiaonei is almost a must-have app for college students, but it only has a little over 2000 million.This means that smartphones are still not popular enough among college students, and the price is still too expensive.

Zhang Yiming said: "The current apps are mainly tools. There is an app called Chacha, which has more than 6800 million users."

Zhou Buqi asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Yiming said: "It's just to check the barcode of the product. I really can't see the future direction of this product. Several project teams have filed reports, saying that they want to develop a similar product, but I have rejected them all."

Zhou Buqi smiled, "I also don't see any potential value, if I don't do it, I won't do it."

Zhang Yiming said with a smile: “Among the 18 super apps, apart from the 12 from Ziweixing, Penguin has two, namely Mobile QQ and Qzone, and Ali has Taobao. Only Baidu doesn’t even have a super app. Their mobile phone, Baidu, only has more than 2000 million users."

Zhou Buqi sighed, "This is the beginning of falling behind!"

Zhang Yiming smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the case, it depends on what you want."

"Oh?"

"The changes you asked me to make quietly at the strategic and business levels seem to be working."

"You mean..." Zhou Buqi realized immediately, holding his mobile phone to avoid Gu Zanli and Dili Reya who were sitting opposite, got up and walked to the office area in the back row, whispering, " You mean UC?"

Zhang Yiming said: "Yes, it is UC. UC Group is now the most popular mobile terminal independent subsidiary in China. The number of users of UC Browser is 1.1 million, the number of users of UC Mobile Assistant is 7400 million, and the number of users of UC Reader is more than 3200 million." You know, WeChat has only 6700 million users, Weibo has only 5400 million users, and Toutiao has only 3700 million users.”

It can also be seen from the data how fast the country has changed in recent years!

Although the domestic 3G network is seven or eight years later than that of Europe, America, South Korea and Japan, and although the domestic mobile Internet is two or three years later than that of developed countries... However, the domestic development is too fast. In just a few years, there has been a reversal trend.

In this day and age, any app with more than 3000 million users worldwide is considered a super app.Helo, which has the largest number of users in the world, has only 1.7 million users.

But in the domestic market alone, there are as many as 3000 super apps with more than 18 million users.

This kind of data is enough to explain a truth, China will be the fastest growing, fastest and brightest market in the global mobile Internet industry!

In the general discourse in China, "domestic" and "foreign" are often juxtaposed, as if there are only two countries in the world, one is the motherland and the other is a foreign country.

But in the era of mobile Internet, in the next ten years, domestic Internet companies can really support such the main theme argument.

Domestic and overseas can really be juxtaposed.

Of course, from the perspective of market size, it is not an order of magnitude at all.

The reason why they can be tied is that the domestic policy support is too strong and the development is too fast.

Ten years later, the development of mobile Internet in China has hit a bottleneck, and all fields have basically been developed.Over the same period, the overseas mobile Internet market may have just developed 20%.

This requires Ziweixing to be fast when it is in the domestic market, to race against time, and not to lag behind.

Similar data came out.

Presumably, technology giants like BAT have also seen it, and will have similar analysis.

It is conceivable that starting from this year, even if the big wave of mobile Internet in China has really arrived, major companies have begun to shift their development focus to the mobile terminal.

Baidu is very behind, and Ali is a little behind.

Relying on a flagship product like QQ, Penguin can be at the forefront.

Zhou Buqi walked to the unoccupied office area, and then communicated with Zhang Yiming about the most confidential matter of Ziwei Star, and asked, "So, the plan was successful?"

Zhang Yiming said: "It is very likely. I have communicated with Baidu just now, and they are very interested in UC Group. Baidu's products have fallen behind, and mergers and acquisitions are the best way to solve the problem. Although UC Group It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ziwei Star, but it has maintained an independent operation in the past few years, which is an opportunity for friends and merchants.”

Zhou Buqi asked: "What is the current valuation of UC Group?"

"This..." Zhang Yiming hesitated, "It's hard to say, it depends on the power of the mobile Internet wave. There is also the urgency of the transformation of the giants."

The price of a commodity is not determined by the value of the commodity, but by supply and demand.

The actual value of UC Group may not be too high.

However, under the vigorous wave of mobile Internet, technology giants are eager to transform towards the mobile terminal.This gives UC products more significance of the times.

Just like Baidu, if the transformation fails, Baidu's products will face elimination.If you acquire UC and combine UC products with Baidu's product matrix, you can bring valuable mobile users to Baidu's products.

This added value is too great.

If Ali also has this demand, and the two companies are very urgent and start bidding, then UC Group can sell at a sky-high price.

Zhou Buqi asked: "Where is Ali? Did Ali respond?"

Zhang Yiming said: "No, it seems that Ali is busy buying back shares from Yahoo, and there are rumors that they will delist from the Hong Kong stock market, and the financial pressure is quite heavy."

Only then did Zhou Buqi think of it, and said repeatedly: "Yes, you are right. Ali will not make any big moves in a short time, unless Ali will go public in the United States as a whole before launching a large-scale mergers and acquisitions."

Although UC is developing very well now, the products of UC series are all tools.

This thing is also useful in the early stages of the development of the mobile Internet, and the more tasteless it becomes in the later stages.So Zhou Buqi has already planned to find an opportunity to sell UC at a high position!
Even behind Zhou Buqi's back, Zhang Yiming secretly made small moves, secretly transferring some management geniuses, product geniuses, and technical geniuses of UC Group to other business lines of Ziweixing.

After the UC is packaged and sold at that time, it will not cause the loss of too many top talents.Wait until it sells to transfer the genius, and it will be too late.

But Ali is busy with other things now, which is a bit troublesome.

Without Ali's bidding, UC Group may not be able to sell at a high price.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yiming suddenly mentioned another company, "Microsoft seems to be increasing investment in the domestic market."

"Ok?"

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows.

Zhang Yiming said: "China has now strengthened the protection of intellectual property rights, which makes Microsoft full of hope for the potential value of the domestic market in the future. In addition, the development data of domestic mobile Internet in the past year is too amazing. Don't look at it." Our 3G network speed is almost the last, but the growth of 3G network users is the world's first."

Zhou Buqi asked: "Microsoft? You mean that Microsoft might be interested in UC?"

"It's not possible." Zhang Yiming paused, and then gave an astonishing statement, "They've already asked for the price, and it's not from Microsoft China, but from Microsoft's Seattle headquarters."
