Chapter 2908 Wolf Nature

Big companies should have the bearing of big companies and should adopt relatively civilized competition strategies to maintain their proper dignity and image.

We are all working in the Internet industry, who doesn’t know who?

Ziweixing's good reputation over the past few years is not only due to Zhou Buqi's personal image in the outside world, but also related to Ziweixing's gentle and friendly competition strategy over the years. In particular, there is a very bad trend in domestic companies, which is to promote wolfishness, whether internally or externally, just like wild wolves. Even many top technology giants are playing this game, and they are proud to promote it to the whole society as corporate culture.

This is a bit too unpresentable.

A good company should promote the warm and affectionate human nature, rather than the wolfish nature that does not recognize relatives.

A business is like a person.

To abandon humanity and pursue wolf nature is, to put it in the most serious way, anti-humanity.

But the market often only cares about results.

The wolf-like charge is more brutal and effective, and can achieve better results in business competition.

The situation abroad is relatively good.

Social resources are abundant, and the number of social elites cultivated under "happy education" is small, so commercial competition is not that fierce. If you can't do well in this field, just switch to another field. Many companies can survive decently as long as they do something similar.

It doesn’t work in China because the business competition is too fierce.

Most of the social resources are monopolized and ordinary people cannot get a share of them.

There are only a few scattered tracks left for the public.

Resources are already scarce, and we have to face an unimaginable number of competitors.

There are too many monks, too little meat, and there are barbarian soldiers surrounding them.

  What can I do?

You can only try your best.

If you don't have the wolf-like spirit of not recognizing your relatives and friends, and don't rush forward to grab things savagely and madly, but behave politely and restrainedly like a modest gentleman... then you will just starve to death in the end.

For many companies, this is a helpless move.

It is the optimal solution for the market under the general environment.

A company is like a wolf, and the employees in the company naturally constitute a big wolf pack.

Many people complain that they have received various unfair treatments in the company, such as working too much overtime but not getting overtime pay, inadequate welfare benefits, and sometimes even lacking basic dignity... This shows a lack of understanding of business. It is wrong to regard themselves as human beings. They are not human beings.

There is a saying in the Internet HR industry: "Use men as animals and use women as men."

This is only half true, and this is when the economic situation is good.

When the economy gets worse, it means "using men as animals, and using women as animals too."

Business competition is so cruel that even the entrepreneur himself has become the alpha wolf, and the employees can only become little wolves and animals. Anyone who wants to pursue human things and want to treat himself as a human being can only be laid off.

Human nature emerged after Homo sapiens exterminated their own species, the Neanderthals, Denisovans, Floresians, and Homo erectus, and became the masters of the earth, living a life without worries about food and clothing. Only then did human nature gradually develop.

Before that, it was brutal animality with survival as the only purpose.

Ziweixing has grown up now.

  The latest market value: US$2285 billion!

Among IT companies, it ranks fourth in the world, after Apple, Microsoft and Google.

Not only does it have a high market value, but over the years, Zhou Buqi has laid a large and solid foundation for Ziweixing and built a deep moat and high walls. Products such as Toutiao, Weibo, Weidian, Xiaonei, WeChat, Weidian Security Guard, Helo, and Ziwei Cloud all have a monopoly position.

They also complement and depend on each other, cross-subsidize each other, and form a diverse and cooperative symbiosis.

With such a deep moat and such a high wall, it would be useless even if a pack of wolves or tigers came to charge!

  Unless there is someone with great connections who is willing to take up arms and fight, who can take down this city?

This is Zhou Buqi’s confidence.

It is also his foresight that has brought him the greatest advantage in business competition over the years, allowing him to adopt more upright strategies to deal with his peers and competitors. Not only does he disdain to adopt some brutal and wolf-like competition strategies, he also generously helps those competitors develop.

This has allowed Zhou Buqi to accumulate a lot of reputation over the years, especially among entrepreneurs. He is highly respected wherever he goes. Not only has he achieved remarkable achievements in the business field, but people also admire his vision, vision and courage. Even many competitors can maintain a good personal relationship with him.

Now, Meng Houkun suggested playing the wild wolf style...

Isn't this just trying to please Boss Zhou?

It is not impossible to do so, at least until the domestic environment changes, Zhou Buqi retires from Ziweixing, and Meng Houkun becomes the new chairman. As of now, Ziweixing is still in an invincible state where even with a telescope, there is no need to use such a barbaric set.

In this regard, Meng Houkun is still a little young and has not considered it so thoroughly.

He Yang is mature and experienced enough to understand Boss Zhou's thoughts. He smiled and said, "Ziweixing has the best employee treatment, the most humane management, and is full of respect for every employee. Such values ​​have won us the most industry talents in the past few years."

Zhang Yiming added: "Especially for those who come from foreign companies and returnees, Ziweixing is always their first choice. Respect is mutual. If you respect talents, they will come to you; if you treat talents coldly and ruthlessly, they will leave you. If the entire country and the entire industry lack such respect, then a large number of talents will inevitably flee to the United States. This is a huge loss for Ziweixing and our Internet industry."

Meng Houkun sighed, "But we already have enough talent. What we need to do most is to curb the backlash from our competitors."

Zhang Yiming is also a good person. He doesn't like the wolfish approach either. He said confidently: "As long as we act uprightly, we won't have any opponents!"

"That's a huge cost." Meng Houkun shook his head. "Take food delivery for example. There are subsidies for food delivery now. A food delivery order may cost 20 yuan if you eat it in a store. If you order food online, it may only cost 10 yuan. The subsidy is huge! If Fantuan wants to gain an advantage in the competition with Baidu Nuomi, it may have to subsidize billions!"

Zhou Buqi didn't care. "Billions? It's not like Ziweixing can't afford it. More than money? Can Baidu be our opponent?"

Meng Houkun said, "This is just Baidu. In the future, Alibaba and Penguin will also launch their own food delivery platforms. By then, there will be a big battle, and it may cost tens of billions. If you want to compete in a civilized manner, the cost will be too high! If we ruin Baidu's reputation, we may be able to kill Baidu Nuomi overnight. How much money will this save?"

Zhou Buqi disagreed, "Whoever wants to do it can do it, but we can't! Li Yanhong and I have been friends for so many years, you want me to stab him in the back, it's impossible."

Meng Houkun frowned, "You just have too many friends."

Zhou Buqi asked back: "Isn't it good to have more friends? Do you have to make enemies?"

He Yang smiled and told a historical story: "Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times but did not kill him. This was very civilized. He could have influenced Meng Huo and made him useful. If he had just killed Meng Huo directly and barbarically... after killing one Meng Huo, a new Meng Huo would appear. By then, the hatred between Shu Han and the southern barbarians would become deeper and deeper, which would become the biggest hidden danger. Killing Meng Huo was a small trick, but conquering Meng Huo was a great wisdom. Our boss relied on his great wisdom to lead us to where we are today."

This flattery gave Meng Houkun a headache.

Zhou Buqi couldn't help but laugh, then waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "To put it another way, there are some things that even if we don't do them, others will do them. Don't forget, what this market lacks the most are those hungry wolves who are not afraid of wearing shoes even if they are barefoot."

"Uh……"

As soon as these words were spoken, more than a dozen executives in the room all looked a little strange.

This is indeed Boss Zhou’s style.

Baidu has been targeted by black PR several times in the past two years, but none of them were too serious and were mainly in the search field. But now Baidu is entering the food delivery business, a field full of "new wolves" who will do anything to get a bite of food.

This time, even if Ziweixing doesn’t do so.

In the future, there will definitely be competitors rushing in to challenge Baidu.

As long as the trouble starts, Fantuan will benefit.

It can be said that it has both substance and appearance.

Why rush up?

This is not Qualcomm. If Boss Zhou doesn't take the lead, there will be no leader. The fragmented mobile phone industry will find it difficult to form a unified external force.

But even if he was charging forward to confront Qualcomm, Boss Zhou did not play the game of charging forward savagely. He did not go too far to line up a battle array to meet the enemy, but instead tried to make a detour from the side, contacted Cook, and then dragged Apple into the water...

Making Tim Cook Qualcomm's punching bag is a trick of transplanting flowers and trees.

In the current calm situation, there is no need for Ziweixing to charge forward and act as the bad guy.

He Yang smiled and said: "This is the attitude we should have. We should be upright and be good people. As for the evildoers... the evildoers will be punished by their own evildoers."

Meng Houkun sighed, "This cost is too high. Next, we need to raise funds for Fantuan. It will take at least 20 billion, right? And we are discussing online car-hailing now. This is different from food delivery. Fantuan's main competitor in food delivery is Baidu Nuomi, which is a giant. The competition in the online car-hailing track is more intense. Alibaba and Penguin have already participated. How much financing will be needed? The subsidy war has really started. Is 30 billion enough?"

Zhou Buqi didn't care, "The last thing Ziwei Star lacks is money!"
