Top of the Great Era

Chapter 3041 Burden

Zhou Buqi returned to China.

The plan is four days.

time is a little tight.

The reason for this arrangement is that Baoshan is due to give birth around the 10th.

Zhou Buqi returned to China this time partly for work. The domestic online car-hailing war is now too fierce and the money is being burned too much. Even with the support of super giants such as Ziweixing, Alibaba, and Penguin, it is a bit difficult to bear.

Mr. Ma from Penguin suggested that everyone sit down and talk.

  We can’t go on like this!

The purpose of doing business is to make money, not to destroy yourself.

Zhou Buqi had to give him some face.

However, there is one more important thing, which is to attend Zhang Yiming's wedding. This is a low-key private wedding. It would be inappropriate for Zhou Buqi not to show up for such an important event. In the workplace, there are not only work relationships, but also personal relationships besides interests.

Especially since the senior executives of Ziweixing are all wealthy men, no one is short of money, and the interests are secondary.

The wedding was small and low-key.

Few executives from Ziweixing participated. Apart from Zhou Buqi, only Meng Houkun, Liang Ruobo, Pei Yao, Cheng Binghao and Li Jun were present.

Li Jun is the vice president of engineering at Ziwei Cloud and is a man in his forties.

I intend to adjust my work in the near future.

It's time to take a back seat.

Zhang Yiming specially invited him here to express a friendly attitude, hoping that he would not have any emotions due to the adjustment of work. We are colleagues and friends, and asking you to step aside is not about the person, but about the matter.

They are all in their forties.

If you cannot keep up with the learning in core business, it is indeed time to retire.

Most people in their 40s or 50s find it difficult to hold core positions in Internet companies.

Zhou Buqi sat at the guest of honor table, next to him was Li Jun.

The wedding ceremony was old fashioned.

Nothing to see.

The bride was also plain-looking, the type of person who would be a good wife and mother.

Zhou Buqi chatted with Li Jun, "My job has been adjusted. Where was your position assigned to?"

Li Jun smiled and said: "In the Academy of Engineering, working under Mr. Cheng, I can also be responsible for some technical projects and make use of my remaining energy."

The Academy of Engineering is not a research institute. The technical projects here are all application-oriented and not very innovative. They all require people to follow their requirements and use technology to realize products. This kind of work is relatively easy.

Ziweixing Engineering Academy has now become the largest "retirement home" within Ziweixing. Many senior executives and middle-level managers who have retired and made significant contributions are often arranged here.

It is definitely not possible to do Ziweixing’s own core business, but it is too easy to be responsible for some outsourced projects.

It's a relaxed and leisurely job with little pressure, simple work and no need to work overtime.

Zhou Buqi nodded and asked in a low voice: "How many stocks do you have?"

Li Jun said bluntly: "Nearly 30 shares, that's enough!"

That is indeed enough.

Ziweixing’s current share price is nearly US$160, and 30 shares of stock means nearly US$5000 million!

For an executive who follows Ziweixing to conquer the world, financial freedom is a standard.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "There's no need to take on too many orders. Anyway, we're not short of money. We can relax a little and spend more time with our wife and children."

"Uh……"

Li Jun's expression was a little complicated.

Zhou Buqi was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Li Jun said: "I'm not married yet, I don't have a partner!"

"Cough cough..."

Zhou Buqi was a little overwhelmed.

This eldest brother is already forty-five years old this year.

In Ziweixing, 45 is basically the "retirement" age, and you have to go through the review of the evaluation committee. Unless they think you are particularly capable and the company cannot do without you, they may let you continue to work. Others at this age should also step down and let others take over.

It’s not that you are incompetent, it’s just that the company doesn’t need you.

Instead, you need to give up your position and make room for opportunities for the young people behind you.

Although this brother Li Jun looks ugly and has big eye bags that make him look old, he has a net worth of 5000 million US dollars! This is not a super rich man, but it can be considered a wealthy man. It is impossible to spend so much money in a lifetime.

You still don’t have a partner?

Li Jun saw his strange expression and felt a little embarrassed, so he whispered, "That's great, I want to ask you for advice."

Zhou Buqi laughed, "What do you want to ask? About love?"

"You see, my conditions are not bad. I...I want to find a 25-year-old girl." Li Jun paused, and seemed a little embarrassed. He found an excuse, "To make up for the lack of youth."

Zhou Buqi thought this was reasonable. "Then go find one. With your conditions, you can't even find a 25-year-old girl, let alone a 15-year-old girl?"

"Don't, don't!" Li Jun was startled, "Don't scare me!"

Zhou Buqi laughed, "Young girls nowadays like older men. They are mature, steady and capable. Isn't that what you are talking about? Go find one... uh, isn't it easy?"

"How do I find one?" Li Jun was a little embarrassed. "There are many beautiful girls in the company, and I am embarrassed. How about you help me find some in the milk tea shop or Jieyu Media and introduce a few to me?"

Zhou Buqi glanced at him and lowered his voice: "Old Li, tell me the truth, do you want to marry her home as your wife, or do you want to...keep her for fun?"

"It's all right. Just look around first."

"If you want to marry her, you must have a common language with her and a talent that matches your education. This is not easy. If you want to play around, it's easy. There are many pretty girls out there. They can spend hundreds or even hundreds of thousands of dollars a month. It's nothing to you. They are very attractive to many young girls."

"How to find it?"

"How should I know? I haven't looked for it."

"Go add friends on WeChat? Or try Momo?"

"No, no!" Zhou Buqi felt that this big brother really had no experience in relationships between men and women, so he was somewhat touched. These technicians were all high-quality men, but finding a partner was really a big hassle. "The girls on these social platforms, who have good figures and looks, are most likely 18th-tier models or prostitutes. If you want to find such girls, you might as well go directly to the club, do a one-time transaction, settle the bill at one time, and save trouble."

Li Jun said: "No, no, not like that!"

Zhou Buqi said: "How about this, you go open a company!"

"what?"

"It doesn't have to be too big. A small company with a dozen or 20 people will do. You can do some advertising design, customer service and after-sales services, etc. You don't need to make any money. The main thing is to form a platform."

"platform?"

Li Jun raised his eyebrows.

He knew that Boss Zhou was an expert in "platform" and that the platform model and platform economy theory, which are now popular all over the world, came from him.

Zhou Buqi went on to say: "On this platform, you can recruit people. Through recruitment, you can get to know some high-quality girls who want to work hard on their own. You recruit a group of girls, and then you become the boss and they become employees. When you are free, take them out for dinner, do team building, or go on a trip. Over time, you will develop feelings for them. By then, you don't even need to take the initiative, and there will be girls who want to manage you and take the initiative to get close to you."

Li Jun suddenly realized and said, "So the platform model has such a profound meaning! It really is all-encompassing!"

Zhou Buqi said, "I have a high school classmate, a female classmate, who is pretty. After graduating from college, she returned to her hometown in Northeast China to work as a salesperson in a bank. The bank president fell in love with her. The bank president was in his 50s or 60s, and his daughter was older than her. But he promised her that if she got along with him, he would promote her to be the president of a branch within three years and give her a Mercedes-Benz sedan. She was very tempted and even contacted me at the time to ask for my advice."

Li Jun felt a little sad, "What did you say?"

Zhou Buqi said: "What can I say? Everyone chooses their own life. I'll just let her think about it carefully."

"and then?"

"That was all many years ago. Later, I didn't attend a high school reunion. But I did hear some news. She became the president of a branch when she was 28 years old and drove a Mercedes-Benz to the reunion. At the reunion, she became the goddess of our class. Everyone said that except Zhou Buqi, she was the most successful in the class. Now she is married with children. She married a local civil servant and lives a happy life. I didn't go to her wedding day, so I called her. She said that the president had retired and had no contact with her. She said she was very grateful to the president. If it weren't for him, her life would not be so smooth and happy now."

"Ah."

Li Jun took a deep breath, his mood became heavy and the sense of burden was not as strong anymore.

This also reflects the level of Boss Zhou.

This ability to comfort people is really strong.

No wonder he is the boss!

Just this delicate and soft mind, just a small story, can relieve the burden in people's hearts, which is really beyond reach.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "It's actually simple to do technology. Social relationships are actually much more complicated than technical engineering. I suggest you open a small company and take a few orders from Ziweixing. You don't have to work too hard to make a lot of money. It's good to experience life. Otherwise, if you retreat to the second line, your life will be empty and you will lose your life goals. That's not good."

Li Jun said: "Thanks for your advice."
