Chapter 2927 User-centered

After some communication, these EU people were a little stunned.

  Well, he got it right again!

Skype, which shares money with operators, is the main culprit that harms operators; whereas Helo, which does not share a penny with operators and only takes advantage of them, has become the best hero for operators!

The reason why these people from the European Union brought up Microsoft's Skype is to make a comparison.

I hope Boss Zhou can make some concessions.

The result is good. With just a few words, it seems that the other person can turn black into white.

  The key is that after listening to him say this, it really makes sense!

Zhou Buqi said: "In the past few years, I have achieved some success. Many people came to ask me what the secret of doing business is."

Ansip smiled and said, "I believe everyone wants to ask you for advice."

Zhou Buqi nodded and said calmly: "It's actually very simple. The biggest trick is to be user-centric. We started a company and made products not to make money, but to serve the society and the users."

After a pause, he continued, "If life is like God rolling dice, then the one who is most sincere will be favored. If you only want to make money, then it will be difficult to make money; if you never think about making money, but just focus on users from the bottom of your heart and do something meaningful and valuable, then you will often make the most money in the end."

Ansip agreed and said slowly: "Indeed, all great success comes from the inside out, from the most genuine things in the heart."

Zhou Buqi said in a deep voice: "User-centricity is the greatest value of Ziweixing. Just now you said that you should manage the data usage of technology companies. I think it must be done. This is very important. Protecting user data and user privacy is practicing our user-centric concept. As for operators... Operators all over the world are the same. This is the most profitable business and can maintain a very high profit margin. They make too much money from users!"

"Uh……"

Ansip was stunned.

Ok!

He got back on track again.

Zhou Buqi said: "All decisions of Ziweixing must be based on the user-centric value criteria. If charging can benefit users, then Helo can charge; if users can no longer tolerate the high charging model of operators in the past and want to use some free services, then Helo has no choice but to do so! Helo did not charge in the past, does not charge now, and will not charge in the future! The biggest purpose of Helo is to open the door to modern information for users! This is everyone's right! Instead of relying on charging to create barriers and treat users differently!"

Seeing his resolute stance, Ansip said nothing more and smiled, "By the way, there will be a symposium this afternoon. CEOs of more than a dozen small and medium-sized IT companies will attend. Let's discuss the unified ideas for the digital market. How about... you take some time to go there? You can give us some guidance. Many companies have very good technology."

Zhou Buqi said: "Technology has never been the core competitiveness of a company's survival, even if it is a technology company. Many people have this misunderstanding and attach too much importance to technology. They all think that technology is a secret weapon to restrict others."

After saying this, Tang Binchen wanted to cover his face.

In Ziweixing’s internal meetings, Boss Zhou has said countless times that technology will have the most stable long-term competitiveness, so Ziweixing must not be afraid of risks and must boldly invest in the field of technology.

But in front of these people from the EU, Boss Zhou was really in a state of panic.

Ansip was also very surprised, "Isn't technology the core competitiveness of a technology company?" "Of course not." Zhou Buqi was able to take the time to come and talk with the EU people this time, not to cooperate with their work, but for other purposes. He said slowly, "In fact, when I first started my business, many people doubted me. The biggest doubt was not that I was too young at the time, just a freshman. It was that I had never learned computer knowledge and I knew nothing about IT technology."

Ansip nodded and said, "Yeah, I've heard that too. I have several friends in the technology industry who all call it a miracle."

"No, no, this has nothing to do with miracles. Technology has never been that important." Zhou Buqi waved his hand. "If you want to start a company or develop a product, the most important thing is the product itself, not the technology. Many people fall into the wrong thinking, all of which are using technology to fit products. They all first have some interesting technology, and then develop some interesting products based on this technology. Such products can never be great products."

“So what is a great product?”

"A great product is the product itself. Technology is just a tool to realize the product. Just like design, marketing, testing and after-sales, technology is just a link in the product process. If you want to make a good product, whether it is software, Coca-Cola, or a big club like Manchester United, you must first focus on the product itself. The most important thing is to determine whether the product itself is correct. If it is right, then go all out, even if the technology is poor, you can still have a market; if it is wrong, no matter how advanced the technology is, you will fail miserably."

“How do you judge whether the product itself is good or not?”

Ansip was very curious about this.

Because being in politics was just a job for him, his term ended after two years.

His idea at that time was to start an IT-related company. Of course, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to seek advice from Boss Zhou.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "It's very simple, you have to be sincere. You have to treat users sincerely, and don't fantasize about how much money you can make from users with this product, but sincerely hope to provide users with some valuable services. Even football is the same. Many people who run clubs think about making money all day long, and such clubs are bound to fail. Manchester United's success in the past few years comes from its sincerity in treating football itself. Don't treat football as a job to make money. The final result is that Manchester United has made the most money in the football world."

Ansip smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, we just have some small suggestions on the operator's matter. This is just some internal discussion."

Zhou Buqi said: "I'm not talking about the operator either."

"Ok?"

"Technology has never been the decisive factor in the success or failure of something. Qualcomm's great success in the chip industry over the past few years is not due to Qualcomm's strong technology, but because of their series of monopolistic behaviors."

"We strive to launch an antitrust investigation into Qualcomm as soon as possible."

The EU will soon be changing its leadership, and the current leaders all want to make some real achievements during their tenure.

  For example, take down Qualcomm!

Zhou Buqi's focus is not here. "The most important thing is to do the right thing, not to focus on technology. In the past few years, Qualcomm has destroyed the chip industry in Europe. As far as I know, many chip companies intend to sell assets to exit the market. Among them are their technological assets. But the EU seems to have some restrictions on the transfer of intellectual property rights? If we focus too much on technology and ignore the legitimacy of the matter itself, it will not only not produce any restrictions, but will also be counterproductive in the end."
