Top of the big era

Zhou Buqi is already preparing to leave for the United States.

Ziweixing's business here is many and complex, but there is basically no need for him, the big boss, to dictate. The strategic route has been set.

And these young people under his command obviously have extraordinary strength.

Many times, the company's operations are like this. The execution level is actually not that difficult. There are too many smart and talented professional managers. The most important thing is to have a correct direction.

The general direction is good, but the business development is basically about the same. Success or failure is not in the details, but in the strategy. The strategy is right, the details only determine whether you win more or less.

Ziweixing has Zhou Buqi to lead the way, and the most critical link has the greatest guarantee.

In fact, there are not many entrepreneurs who can do this. Many entrepreneurs have to work more than ten hours a day. They are as busy as dogs and are much more tired than employees.

This is relatively low-end.

People like Zhou Buqi and Alibaba’s Boss Ma truly have the demeanor of world-class entrepreneurs. After deciding on the strategy, you basically leave it to the boss and let others execute it. Manage people through results, and manage the company through management of people.

However, there are some small things that deserve his attention.

This was a post he saw on the company intranet at night.

This is a very controversial thing that happened recently in Tsinghua University. The fourth teaching building of Tsinghua University has been built and will be put into use.

To build such a teaching building, Tsinghua only spent a small amount of the money, and the other half was sponsored by the clothing brand "Jeanswest." In order to give back to the sponsors, when the teaching building was completed, the school named the building "Jeanswest Building".

Then, the matter exploded.

Tsinghua University was Ziweixing's back garden. Zhou Buqi was very concerned about this matter. He communicated with Ning Yaxian and then found Director Liang Jing who was in charge of the business cooperation between Ziweixing and Tsinghua University.

"boss?"

In the middle of the night, Liang Jing was somewhat surprised when she received a call from the big boss.

Zhou Buqi heard the nervousness in her tone and said with a smile: "It's no big deal. I saw a post on the intranet about the Jeanswest Building in Tsinghua University."

"Oh!" Liang Jing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved now, "Actually, the main reason is not because of the naming of the teaching building, but because everyone thinks that the 'Jeanswest' brand is too low-end, so let such an inferior brand take the title. The teaching building named Tsinghua University seems out of place.”

Zhou Buqi also thinks so, "Well, a clothing brand has nothing to do with an academic institution like Tsinghua University."

Liang Jing said: "Yes, there are many buildings in Tsinghua University that have sold naming rights, such as Fuji Conami Research Center, ROHM Electronic Engineering Museum, Ziweixing Semiconductor Research Center, etc. In fact, naming is not important, what is important is that it can be used."

"What happened next? How will Tsinghua deal with it?"

"It should be delisted!"

"There will be a dispute, right? Is Jeanswest willing?"

Liang Jing said: "There's nothing we can do if we disagree. No one dares to be careless about this kind of thing."

Zhou Buqi said: "We must deepen the relationship between Tsinghua and Ziweixing as much as possible. If necessary, Ziweixing can help with this matter. Jeanswest has sponsored such a large amount of money, but it can't even get the naming rights." arrive."

Some sponsorships and donations to colleges and universities are purely charitable, while others are motivated by profit. For example, the Jeanswest Building this time is very different from Tsinghua University. The main reason is for the naming rights.

With the naming rights obtained, JeansWest's brand status can be enhanced through Tsinghua University.

If Tsinghua delists the name of Jeanswest Building, the sponsorship fee may have to be returned according to the original sponsorship agreement. This is a headache for Tsinghua University.

Liang Jing analyzed and said: "If there are some donation clauses, Ziweixing will compensate? Then Ziweixing will replace Jeanswest and name the new teaching building?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Of course this is the best result. You should investigate first and see if it works. Even if you can't get the naming rights, it is necessary to have a good relationship with Tsinghua and stand up for the students to resolve their anger. ."

…

The next day, Zhou Buqi got on the plane and went to Silicon Valley.

On the plane, you should first check some materials to see the recent trends in Silicon Valley.

The most shocking one is probably Microsoft. They launched an acquisition invitation for Skype, the phone voice application. This acquisition is likely to set a new record for Microsoft's new merger and acquisition transaction price.

This made Zhou Buqi feel a little worried.

On the mobile phone side, there are now two most popular social products, one is Helo by Ziweixing, and the other is Skype!

Currently, Helo's registered users have reached 160 million, and it seems to be developing well.

But compared with Skype, it's far behind.

Skype has more than 600 million registered users!

The reason for this situation is that Skype was born earlier, and the free phone call function is very attractive. Helo is a mobile Internet product, only for smartphones. Skype is different. It is an omni-channel application. There are corresponding versions for computers, tablets, feature phones, and smart phones.

Zhou Buqi's reaction was relatively calm, "It's also a social layout, but Microsoft's methods are much stronger than Google's."

"Ah?" Ning Yaxian, who was reading the materials with him next to him, was a little confused. "Microsoft is here, and you are still laughing?"

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "I don't laugh, why am I still crying?"

"Microsoft is coming with a menace!" Ning Yaxian is very worried. "Once Skype transforms into a mobile Internet version, it will pose a huge threat to Helo."

Zhou Buqi didn't take it seriously and said calmly: "Revised? Is it possible? Skype has more than 600 million users, half of which are PC users. Will they change their lives and give up the strong PC market in order to bet on the mobile Internet market?"

Ning Yaxian's delicate brows frowned slightly, and then she smiled sweetly, "I like your confident look."

Zhou Buqi stretched his waist and said, "Microsoft's acquisition of Skype is a good thing for us. Microsoft has entered the market and invested heavily in the social business. If you are worried, others will be worried too."

"Google?"

"right!"

I have a headache, I may have to stop updating tomorrow.
