Top of the Great Era

Chapter 3020: Millet

After eating and drinking, Zhou Buqi took Yang Mi out of the small bedroom in the office.

Then they saw the two new secretaries, Wang Langli and Huo Hua, acting sneakily, blinking their eyes, as if they were under a spell of immobilization, staring blankly at the beautiful woman next to the big boss.

Whoops!

  It’s really Yang Mi!

It’s so sweet!

Yang Mi pursed her lips and waved to them gently, "Hi, hello, I'm Yang Mi."

"what!!!"

Huo Hua screamed like a crazy fan and ran towards Yang Mi like a rabbit or an eagle.

Zhou Buqi was afraid that she would bump into Yang Mi, who was still recovering from childbirth, so he quickly grabbed her and said angrily, "What are you doing? Are you crazy?"

Huo Hua seemed to have just reacted. She raised her head and looked at the big boss, "I... I'm a fan of Sister Mimi!"

"If you want to chase stars, you can do it slowly later." Zhou Buqi checked the time, "I'm going to Apple, do you two want to go?"

"go with!"

Huo Hua responded instantly in a clear and crisp voice.

Zhou Buqi's eyes softened when he looked at Wang Langli, and he smiled and said, "Why don't you come with us? Let's go see what Apple looks like!"

Wang Langli was still not quite used to it, her face turned red, and she uttered "hmm" softly.

This time it was Apple's Cook who wanted to discuss something with Zhou Buqi.

Normally, Cook should pay a visit.

Whoever has something to do can come to my house.

However, Zhou Buqi prefers to take the initiative to visit.

He did this in the early years to show his humility and friendliness. After all, he was very young and a junior in the industry.

I still do it now because it is an opportunity to learn.

Every company is constantly changing and growing.

If given the chance, Zhou Buqi would visit more large companies like Apple, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft to feel the corporate atmosphere of these technology giants and experience the differences between different companies.

Only by understanding the changes in competitors can you have better internal motivation and cannot always stay in your comfort zone.

Normally, the back seat of the car can accommodate three people.

The girls are all skinny though.

Four is not too crowded.

From left to right, they are Zhou Buqi, Wang Langli, Yang Mi and Huo Hua.

It seemed that Huo Hua was really a fan of Yang Mi. As soon as she got in the car, she started chattering non-stop. Later, as they got familiar with each other, she became a little more outspoken.

Although Huo Hua lowered her voice, the car was so quiet that she could still hear clearly. She whispered, "Sister Mimi, it's said on the Internet that you are pregnant."

Yang Mi said calmly, pursing her lips: "Yes, I just gave birth two months ago."

"Really?" Huo Hua became excited. "Boy or girl?"

Yang Mi smiled and said, "Girl."

"Wow! So good? What's his name?"

"Little grains of rice."

"Zhou Mili?"

Huo Hua was very smart. She did not try to delve into the relationship between Sister Mimi and her boss. In fact, she had already seen through it all, so she simply gave the child the surname "Zhou".

Yang Mi chuckled and said, "No, Xiao Mi Li is my childhood nickname. I haven't decided on my real name yet, so it may be Zhou Mi Li or Zhou Li."

Huo Hua was a little proud and excited, and said enthusiastically: "Let's call her Zhou Mili. I think this name sounds good! It's better than Zhou Li!"

Yang Mi was very polite and answered her questions.

It's a bit like a fan meeting.

On this side, Zhou Buqi and Wang Langli were much quieter.

But privately, he was not at all at peace.

Zhou Buqi's right hand was clasped with Wang Langli's left hand.

Very soft.

The skin is very delicate.

Zhou Buqi scratched her palm with his fingers, and Wang Langli immediately responded by scratching his palm with her fingers as well.

Zhou Buqi scratched her again, and she scratched him back, not showing any weakness.

With such a positive response, Zhou Buqi, an experienced veteran, was not polite and reached out to touch her thigh. Wang Langli just pressed the edge of her hip skirt and did not stop him. However, she glanced at him with some annoyance and then cautiously looked to the side, indicating that there was someone here!

Zhou Buqi found it a little funny, so he stopped teasing her, took his hand back, and whispered in her ear, "Do you want to be with me?"

Wang Langli lowered her head and said nothing.

Zhou Buqi didn't hesitate at all and said, "Don't stay in the hotel tonight. Come home with me."

The loud and beautiful voice is as loud as a mosquito or a fly.

I can't hear anything.

But her slight nod already expressed her agreement.

Zhou Buqi acted decisively and ordered immediately, "Huahua, check out of the hotel. After get off work, go back home with Zhao Limuge. There is a big swimming pool at home, you can go swim and relax when you go back."

"Good! Great!"

Huo Hua on the other side jumped up excitedly and hit his head against the roof of the car.

When we got to Apple, it was a little early.

Zhou Buqi walked around the Apple building leisurely, looking around.

He has a very important status.

In addition, Silicon Valley technology companies have a strong spirit of sharing. Except for the most core confidential information, most of the business operations are open to visitors. Accompanied by the vice president of public relations, Mr. Zhou can stop at anything he is interested in and have the salesperson briefly explain it.

"Hey, there's a refrigerator here." Zhou Buqi saw a large transparent refrigerator in the employee area called "Interactive Social Networking". There were many iced drinks in it. "Can I have a bottle of Coke? Glass bottles are best!"

"Okay!"

The vice president of public relations was very happy.

Other Apple employees were also happy.

Zhou Buqi was holding a bottle of iced Coke in his hand. He seemed very approachable and had no sense of alienation in the Apple employee area. He drank Coke with everyone else. After a while, Cook's secretary came over and went upstairs to meet Cook.

Mainly two things.

One thing is the Qualcomm case.

Cook wanted to understand the situation.

This is a big deal.

Last September, relevant domestic departments raided Qualcomm's China headquarters and seized a large number of Qualcomm's internal documents while they were not ready to destroy the documents. After several months of analysis and searching, they found a lot of monopoly materials.

In May of this year, that is, last week, the relevant departments officially announced that Qualcomm was suspected of violating China's antitrust law and would handle the matter in accordance with the law. On the same day, several senior executives of Qualcomm came to China overnight to deal with these matters nervously.

Zhou Buqi didn't pay much attention to this.

Very confident.

If the authorities have taken action, there will definitely be results. In this kind of matter, there is no such thing as a lot of noise but little rain.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "I didn't pay much attention to it, but I heard some news. Qualcomm can't just downplay this matter. It must come up with some practical solutions."

Cook was very happy. "I heard the fine is at least $10 billion. Is that true?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "I don't know about that."

"Well..." Cook was silent for a while, and then he talked about the topic he was most concerned about, "By the way, I heard that Ziweixing Global is going to launch a new streaming platform."

Zhou Buqi said frankly: "We do have this plan, and it will definitely be launched before the end of the year."

Cook asked: "Is it a subscription system like Netflix?"

"Yes." Zhou Buqi nodded. "For film and television content, only a paid subscription model can survive."

Cook complimented, “If that’s the case, you’ll control the two largest streaming platforms!”

Zhou Buqi quickly waved his hand and corrected him, "This statement is wrong. I have no control over Netflix. Netflix is ​​Mr. Hastings' company. I only have control over Ziweixing Global. I am only responsible to the shareholders of Ziweixing Global. I have nothing to do with the shareholders of Netflix."

Cook didn't want to dwell on these details with him. He wasn't a Netflix shareholder. He pondered and said, "Since its release, Apple TV, Apple's TV box product, has received very good reputation and great acclaim from the market. However, in terms of market share, it has never achieved the expected results."

Zhou Buqi almost laughed out loud, "What's the reason? You should know it very well, right?"

Cook sighed and said: "There is too little content on AppleTV!"

Zhou Buqi said calmly, "Tim, I might as well tell you the truth. Ziweixing International is going to build a streaming platform, and the name is tentatively set as Peacock. If AppleTV's commission is still 30%, then I can tell you clearly that there will be no possibility of any cooperation between AppleTV and Peacock."

Like Tim Cook just said.

Boss Zhou now owns two major video streaming platforms, Netflix and Peacock.

Have a huge say!

Without Netflix and Peacock, AppleTV’s film and television content would be reduced by more than half!

  If AppleTV wants to develop, it cannot do without the support of Boss Zhou!

This time, the 30% commission system must be broken!
