Top of the Great Era

Chapter 2866 Performance

The other party was so old and came all the way from afar, so Zhou Buqi had to take care of the other party's face, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Cheng, I found that in the technology industry in Silicon Valley, Chinese are the mainstay, but I found some There are vacancies in management positions in large companies, and those who are promoted are always some Americans who are boastful. There are very few people who can reach the top position of CEO like you. How can this happen? "

Cheng Suizong said: "Many people say this is discrimination, but I don't think it is."

"That is?"

“I think it’s still a cultural influence.”

"Appreciate further details."

Zhou Buqi also has his own understanding in this regard, but there is no need to waste this opportunity to ask for advice.

If he hadn't founded Ziweixing International, many Chinese elites in Silicon Valley, including Lu Qi and Shen Xiangyang, would only be in a deputy position, and it would be difficult for them to have the opportunity to take charge of themselves.

Cheng Suizong said: "This is indeed a very common phenomenon. In some technology companies, most of the technical staff are Orientals, either Chinese or Indians, or Koreans or Vietnamese. They are all excellent. But when it comes to promotion But they always fail to seize the opportunity. The Indians seem to be gaining momentum in recent years and have a good development momentum. I think one of the important reasons is that we Chinese. Spirit."

"Spirit?" Zhou Buqi asked, "What spirit?"

Cheng Suizong said: "What we admire is hard work, simplicity, pragmatism and down-to-earth. What we pursue is to be a real person... In other words, we just don't know how to perform."

After a pause, Cheng Suizong continued to explain: "If you don't know how to perform, it will be difficult for others to see your achievements, and it will be difficult to seize opportunities. This is not only a performance within the company to the superiors and the board of directors, but also to the company. The performance of the outside world on the capital market. The United States is a capitalized country, and large companies are all listed companies. Any changes in the company will affect the fluctuations of the stock price. If you cannot perform, you cannot use your achievements in a way that everyone can accept. No matter how well you do it, it will be difficult to gain recognition from the capital market.”

Zhou Buqi said "Yeah", "That's really the case."

"Isn't it that there is another young Musk? I think he is very good and has strong acting ability."

The "performance" Cheng Suizong mentioned is obviously not a performance in the film and television industry, but more of a "marketing" nature.

Everyone should promote themselves like a product. If you want to gain recognition, you must learn to market and market yourself like a product.

If a product cannot be marketed, no matter how good the quality is, it will not make any waves in the market.

This is different from some traditional thinking in China.

The traditional concept is that "the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley".

But the modern business concept is that even if you produce a low-quality alcohol-blended wine like Jiang Xiaobai, as long as you do good marketing, it can still be a great success in the market, and even be well received.

The vast majority of people are just a mob, lack understanding of society, and simply follow public opinion.

Today, when public opinion says it is good, everyone will follow suit and say yes; tomorrow, when public opinion says it is bad, everyone will quickly follow suit and criticize it together.

Whoever can do marketing well and dominate public opinion will have an invincible position in their products.

The same is true for surviving in society, and the same is true for surviving in a company.

Traditional education makes Chinese people too unpretentious, which leads to the fact that these large companies in Silicon Valley have achieved outstanding results, but they are still "unpretentious". Although they have achieved results, they have not marketed the results.

Zhou Shaoning said with a smile: "It's different now. The young people in China are more beautiful than the last. If they have one point of ability, they wish they could get ten points."

Cheng Suizong said: "This kind of people are not very capable in terms of personal abilities."

Zhou Shaoning nodded, "That's true."

Many young people in China today are also very good at "acting". Some even have nothing, but they can package themselves into the second generation of rich people, and then date more than a dozen girlfriends, allowing these girlfriends to support and provide for themselves. Have children.

However, those who have the opportunity to develop in the United States are the most elite group. They not only have good English skills, but also have strong professional abilities. They focus on the exploration of personal abilities in their daily study and work. I have no chance to learn and show my "performing talent", and I sincerely believe that this sneaky and slippery style is wrong and I don't bother to learn it. Even in society, it is generally believed that when doing business, one should engage in innovation and engage in independent scientific and technological research and development.

Innovation is right, plagiarism is wrong.

It's completely an imaginary fantasy that is divorced from reality.

The true situation in the real society is completely opposite. Those who can really reach the top at home and abroad are those who have very strong "plagiarism" skills, those who have extraordinary abilities in cheating and sneaking, and they are all like little people. People who are good at public performances, even Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Musk, are no exception.

However, it is no wonder that these ordinary people in China have been taught by traditional virtues to be kind and honest.

The general environment is like this.

Boss Ma from the United States speaks nonsense every day and publishes many remarks on Twitter that are far-fetched and even challenge the bottom line of society. He is a popular entrepreneur in the world. Domestic boss Ma "performed" for a little while and then disappeared.

A few years ago, Zhou Buqi might have thought of ways to do something, but now he has taken a dim view.

Fortunately, Ziweixing International is its own company.

He knows more about these outstanding talents in the country and can create the most opportunities for them to showcase their talents.

It is also good to be hard-working, loyal, kind and simple. Such people are more obedient and easier to manage, and are less rebellious and more servile. As long as such an IT team composed of domestic engineers is used well, it can make better products than Americans. Outstanding results.

The huge success of Yahoo App has fully confirmed this point.

For Zhou Buqi, it was also a good thing.

Cheng Suizong's statement can be regarded as providing Zhou Buqi with a new perspective on the similarities and differences in the development of the Internet industry in China and the United States.

The two sides talked about this topic casually, as if chatting about everyday things, and then it really fell on BlackBerry.

Just like Zhou Shaoning said.

This past third quarter, BlackBerry lost billions of dollars and couldn't hold on any longer.

Now that a new CEO has taken office, the first thing he needs to do is raise money.

How to raise money?

Let’s start with the mobile phone business directly!

However, Cheng Suizong did not dare to directly take the BlackBerry brand, saying: "We hope to give up BlackBerry's mobile phone business in the form of OEM. In terms of the current mobile phone environment, I think only those mobile phone manufacturers in mainland China are capable of taking over BlackBerry's mobile phone business." For the mobile phone business, please ask Mr. Zhou for help.”

Zhou Buqi smiled, "No problem!"

Cheng Suizong's face froze. This was not the result he wanted, so he tentatively said: "If Aisda is interested in this, I hope that both of us can cooperate."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Asda does not need the BlackBerry brand for the time being, but you are right, domestic mobile phones are doing very well now. However, many excellent domestic mobile phones lack a channel to go overseas. If we can compete with BlackBerry If we make good use of OEM cooperation, I believe we can achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. ”

Cheng Suizong still didn't get the answer he wanted, so he could only fight for it on his own, "Mr. Zhou, according to your judgment, how about Lenovo? I heard that Lenovo is working hard to develop the mobile phone business, but it lacks a well-known product like ThinkPad in overseas markets. brand."

Zhou Buqi agreed without hesitation, "Okay, I'll contact you for you. I believe you can have a happy cooperation. However, since BlackBerry is going to spin off its mobile phone business, then those patents in the mobile phone business will be of no use, right?"

Cheng Suizong nodded, "We can talk!"
