Top of the big era

If you want to help, you must help more.

This is the major policy policy Zhou Buqi has set for Ziweixing in the mobile Internet era.

Times are so different.

For example, in the PC Internet era, the search business has a relatively high technical content. Companies like Baidu and Weidian can greatly ensure their competitiveness by implementing certain technical controls.

Other people’s technology is just not good enough, and the search solutions they create are not very effective.

The main reason is the lack of people.

That was the initial stage of the domestic Internet. The number of excellent Internet engineers was very small, and they all worked in large factories and foreign companies. Ordinary companies could not find them at all.

If there is no one, it can’t be done.

Things are different in the mobile Internet era. The number of Internet engineers in China has accumulated astonishingly. The sum of all Internet engineers in the world is probably similar to that in China.

This creates a saturation of excellent engineers.

Moreover, foreign companies are gradually withdrawing from the domestic market.

Domestic major manufacturers are actively upgrading, and many older and outstanding engineers have been laid off... This has provided many second-tier companies and emerging companies with talent options.

The entire market has become more active than ever.

In the PC Internet era, search was a high-end project, but in the mobile Internet era, it has little technical content. As long as they want to do it, basically every company can do it.

This has many benefits for the industry, allowing a hundred flowers to bloom and promoting competition.

The disadvantage is also obvious, that is, those second-tier companies and emerging companies will repeatedly make some products that are already mature in the market, which will lead to excessive self-research in the industry.

Instead of doing this, it’s better to just let go!

Ziweixing can help.

Whatever you want, you can do it!

For example, on domestic mobile devices, news and information apps like Toutiao are very popular, and many innovative companies will enter this market.

It would be too expensive if they were doing it all from scratch.

You can directly take the basic template of Toutiao.

Simply change it, change the skin, adjust the design and structure of the product, and you can launch a new product. These startups can save a lot of money.

Startup companies are generally very innovative.

This is the biggest advantage compared to large companies.

Toutiao is owned by Ziweixing, so its own innovative attributes will inevitably be subject to some restrictions. If startups use Toutiao's basic template to develop their new projects, they will save money and can spend more money on product innovation and the development of new technologies.

In other words, only the funds saved from excessive self-research can promote their product innovation and technological innovation!

This is also good for Ziweixing.

If others have done it, Toutiao’s team can also learn from it and use external forces to make up for its own shortcomings in innovation by relying on the innovation of others.

This is what Silicon Valley does.

Technology giants like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon have a large number of followers behind them. These giant companies are lacking in innovation and can rely on continuous support from foreign aid.

Simply innovate and quickly catch up with the plagiarism.

For complex projects... it would be simple and crude, just acquire the other party's team and make it your own.

Just like Toutiao, if you find that there is a similar product on the market that uses Toutiao's infrastructure and is very fast and innovative, you can completely acquire it and incorporate it into your own team.

It would be beneficial to all parties.

Independent research and development and technological innovation can never be equated.

Innovation must be a breakthrough in the basic framework.

If self-research funds are spent on the development of repetitive basic frameworks, it will cause excessive self-research in the industry and lead to the entire industry being curbed in the field of technological innovation.

There are two factors behind this.

One is open and the other is contract.

Large companies must embrace the market with an open mind, and small companies must have sufficient trust in large companies.

The current situation of the domestic Internet industry is quite bad.

Neither open nor contracted.

Zhou Buqi is someone who has been here before. He knows very well that the domestic Internet industry has been suffering from BAT for a long time, and he cannot let Ziweixing go down the same old path as BAT under any circumstances.

As for whether there will be potential threats rushing in after it is opened...

It depends on whether you are confident enough.

China has been undergoing reform and opening up for so many years, and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

To take a step back, even if this strategy really messes up Ziweixing and cultivates competitors that are more powerful than Ziweixing and poses a threat to Ziweixing, then it doesn't matter, just think of it as contributing to the country and the industry.

Just like in the previous life, after Musk acquired Twitter, he directly open sourced all the code of Twitter. In other words, any company in the world can develop a product that is exactly the same as Twitter for free and then compete with Twitter.

Musk has such confidence.

Twitter messed up, and it only cost tens of billions of dollars, which does not affect his status as the richest man in the world.

…

Zhou Buqi took off and went to the United States.

I feel like I did some very meaningful things when I returned to China this time, many of which were beyond the commercial level and were not based on personal interests.

It's different when you go to the United States.

If you don’t make money, who will?

Aunt Xue also followed and asked him, "What are you doing in such a hurry to go to the United States?"

Zhou Buqi said: "There are quite a lot of them, we have to do them all."

"Ah?" Aunt Xue was slightly startled, "Have you fallen in love with many women again?"

"What?"

Zhou Buqi had a black line on his forehead.

Aunt Xue couldn't help but laugh, "Isn't it about women?"

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "I am doing business!"

Aunt Xue said: "It's pretty much the same anyway. Your career skills are first-rate, and your skills as a woman are superb."

"Thanks."

Zhou Buqi snorted, taking it as a compliment.

Aunt Xue said softly: "Mr. Zhang said he wanted to see you, but you were in such a hurry to return home this time that you didn't even meet him."

"Huh?" Zhou Buqi was a little confused, "Which Mr. Zhang?"

Aunt Xue said: "Zhang Chaoyang."

"What?" Zhou Buqi was shocked and stood up suddenly, "What's going on? Are you still in contact with him?"

Several girls in the front row, including Sun Wanran, Gu Zanli, and Liang Lexin, thought something big had happened, so they all ran over. If it was a trivial matter, how could it cause the big boss to lose his temper?

Aunt Xue's face immediately turned red. She glared at him angrily and whispered, "What are you thinking about?" Then when she saw Sun Wanran and Gu Zanli coming over, she changed her smile, pursed her lips and explained: "It's okay. You told me last time that Mr. Zhang wanted to see him. I told him and he regretted neglecting me."

Zhou Buqi breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that the secretary told her.

Sun Wanran was a little confused, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He said softly: "Well, nothing happened. He said that Sohu Video will cooperate with China Unicom to develop the operator's directional traffic card strategy. It seems that he has contacted the general office."

The general office is the President's Office, which is Zhang Yiming's large team of staff and is responsible for the daily operations of Ziweixing.

If it is a directional traffic card, the more products the directional traffic can serve, the better of course.

Sohu Video wants to bundle it with Ziweixing’s products.

Sohu Video, which has the advantage, can help Ziweixing pay more traffic fees.

Zhou Buqi will not participate now.

It doesn't matter if you cooperate or not. It doesn't matter how the president's office handles it.

After Sun Wanran and the others went back, Aunt Xue said with a smile but not a smile: "A grown man can be so stingy?"

Zhou Buqi said confidently: "This is not stingy, this is a matter of principle."

"What principle?"

"Men and women cannot give or receive privately!"

"Bah!" Aunt Xue couldn't stand this guy's pedantic views, "Why don't you give me more advice?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "What did I teach and receive?"

Aunt Xue reached out and patted him gently on the forehead, "Little rascal, think about the next three roads again!"
