Top of the big era

"Team? Zhang Xiaolong's team?" Guo Pengfei immediately understood what Boss Zhou meant, and it was a little funny, "What are you doing? Are you still thinking about it?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes!"

Guo Pengfei couldn't accept it, "Qxin's team is the loser. On the day Qxin was shut down, my team even went to the hotel to book a team building to celebrate!"

Zhou Buqi said: "This is not contradictory."

"Why isn't it contradictory?"

"This is like a battle between two armies. The stronger side does not necessarily win. Throughout the ages, have there been few examples of the weak defeating the strong and the small defeating the large?"

"What do you call this?" Guo Pengfei was not very satisfied. "My team is the weak side? WeChat did not defeat Qxin by luck. This was a crushing! It was a crushing game. Qxin never had a chance. !”

Zhou Buqi said: "That's because I commanded well! The timing of the attack was correct and the operational strategy adopted was brilliant!"

Guo Pengfei smiled and said, "You are the commander-in-chief. We have won the battle. The biggest credit must be yours. You can strategize thousands of miles away. You are more powerful than Zhuge Liang."

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "Stop playing tricks on me!"

Guo Pengfei said seriously: "Anyway, I don't think it is necessary for the current WeChat team to poach people from QChat, just that...that Zhang Xiaolong, you have poached twice before, the competition in the past few years Come down, it’s just like that! I don’t think it’s that great!”

Zhou Buqi said: "The greatest victory is not only defeating the opponent on the battlefield. It is also defeating the opponent and recruiting the opponent to surrender for my use. Didn't you mean Zhuge Liang? What did Zhuge Liang do? For He surrendered Meng Huo and captured him alive seven times before finally conquering Meng Huo. Then, the south of the Shu Han Dynasty was stabilized, and with a stable rear area, he could concentrate on the front line and go out to Qi Mountain."

Guo Pengfei said "hmm".

Zhou Buqi said: "The victory in product competition is at most a partial victory. The biggest victory must be the victory in talent competition. Look at the heroes in history. Some fought fiercely and with murderous intent. They fought and killed all the way. , but such a character will definitely fail in the end, even Xiang Yu, who is so powerful. But the little gangster Liu Bang is different. Winning the battle is very important, and the most important thing is to conquer the heroes. With so many heroes around him, It’s enough to send them to fight.”

Guo Pengfei was shocked, "Boss Zhou, are you mocking yourself?"

"What am I mocking?"

"Aren't you just following Liu Bang's tactics? Are you saying that you are just a little hooligan and that you relied on heroes like me to build Ziweixing?"

"roll!"

"Ha ha!"

Guo Pengfei laughed triumphantly.

Zhou Buqi sighed and said earnestly: "I have said it many times, the competition in the 21st century is the competition of talents. WeChat defeated Qxin, which is a good thing. But this is just the beginning, you should take further steps To expand our advantages and fundamentally destroy all potential competitors, we must start from the competition for talents.”

Guo Pengfei said: "They seem to have merged Qxin into mobile QQ. Many people in the Qxin team were unwilling to go to mobile QQ and left."

Zhou Buqi said: "That's the truth. Their team collapsed and those people were torn apart. Some people were unwilling to give up if they couldn't keep it together, and then they gathered together and started to challenge WeChat again."

"Challenge?" Guo Pengfei didn't take it seriously. "It doesn't constitute a challenge. It's just a small fight."

Zhou Buqi said: "The key point is that this is meaningless. If you can recruit all these people with ideas... One side has WeChat's product ideas, and the other side has Qxin's product ideas. Once the two sides collide, maybe there will be new ideas." Sparks of inspiration can give you better product ideas. I can tell you, in the world of mobile Internet, domestic product design and product innovation are the first in the world, far ahead! After Helo in overseas markets All revisions, updates, and upgrades require learning from WeChat. Therefore, WeChat must be attentive. If we cannot dominate the domestic market, we will just relax. This will not work. We must continue to innovate products, and we must Gather the best talents in the country to make the greatest mobile communication products. WeChat is Helo’s teacher. Only when WeChat is done well can Helo be more competitive in overseas markets.”

"Too."

Guo Pengfei was convinced by him.

From a domestic perspective, WeChat cannot find any rivals even with a telescope. Qxin was disbanded, and the team was scattered into society, forming a group of stragglers fighting against WeChat... It didn't matter at all.

They will fight if they like.

WeChat cannot be shaken at all.

It can be said that the current WeChat team can breathe a sigh of relief. You can let the remaining power of Q Xin disintegrate to roam around the world, and it won't cause any trouble anyway.

However, WeChat’s significance goes beyond the domestic market.

This is even more of an example for Helo.

In terms of Internet products, domestic strength is stronger than that of Silicon Valley, especially in terms of product design, detailed design, local fine-tuning, function expansion, product iteration, bug elimination, etc.

The country has the largest number of engineers and many talented people. A monopoly-level product like WeChat has a large fault tolerance rate, allowing innovative designs to be launched continuously like experiments.

If you fail, just give up. For a product of the level of WeChat, small mistakes cannot shake the product's industry status at all.

Once the experiment is successful, it will be great, and it is likely to become a major product innovation that leads the industry trend.

Overseas markets do not have such conditions.

Helo's fault tolerance is very low.

There are many competitors. Microsoft, Google, and Facebook are all eyeing them. If Helo innovates and launches new features indiscriminately, if it makes a mistake, it may cause great dissatisfaction among users, and users will defect to other competing products. .

It's a bit like the field of technology research and development.

Scientific research in Silicon Valley is great because they have a higher error tolerance. Large companies like Google and Microsoft invest hundreds of millions or billions of dollars in research and development in emerging fields. If they fail...if they fail, they will fail. It doesn't matter. If they keep doing it, they might succeed next time. , you can lead the industry.

This is not the case in China, where there is no such fault tolerance.

The family background is too thin.

Once you invest a huge amount of money to do some industry-leading research and development... it is like gambling on your life, it is a one-time opportunity with no return. If you fail, you die.

Who dares to invest in this?

Ordinary people dare not spend all their wealth to buy lottery tickets, and entrepreneurs even dare not. Behind an entrepreneur, there are tens of thousands of employees and tens of thousands of families to be responsible for. The most important thing to avoid is the bankruptcy of the company. Many times, one would rather break the law and go to jail than go bankrupt.

Because of this gap in fault tolerance, some special phenomena have occurred in the Internet field.

The United States has stronger technological innovation and can lead the trend of science and technology; domestic product innovation has stronger and can lead the trend at the application level.

Helo mainly targets overseas markets.

The technical strength is impeccable.

However, communication and social products such as Helo and WeChat are not high-tech fields and do not require high technology at all.

Too high is also a waste.

From a technical perspective, Helo has no advantage over WeChat.

From a product perspective, WeChat has many advantages over Helo.

So in this case, Helo must follow WeChat and use WeChat as a role model.

If WeChat relaxes and defeats Qxin, it will slow down the pace of product innovation and experimental fields. It will not have a big impact on WeChat, but it will affect Helo's long-term competitiveness overseas.

Guo Pengfei realized his lack of understanding and said sincerely: "Well, my vision has become narrow, and I only focus on WeChat."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Even if you don't work for Ziweixing International, don't forget, counting the shares, you are the second largest shareholder of Ziweixing International, which is larger than Lu Qi, Tang Binchen, and Kurian's shares." high."

Guo Pengfei said: "I know, I will take action immediately, contact the disbanded Qxin team, and try to win them over to Ziweixing's side as much as possible."

Zhou Buqi said: "In the field of communication and social products, there are three most powerful teams in China. In addition to WeChat, they are Penguin's QChat and Alibaba's Laihuang. Even though Momo's current market share is quite high, they are all opportunistic. , it was built in the gray area of ​​​​sidelines, and there was no talent at all. This time, Q Xin’s team was conquered. In a year or two, the business will stop, and then we will win over those people. . When so many outstanding talents and product ideas from different teams collide, many amazing innovative designs can emerge."

Guo Pengfei hesitated and said, "What about Zhang Xiaolong?"

This is what Zhou Buqi is most concerned about, and it is also the main purpose of making this call, "Of course we will win it!"

Guo Pengfei laughed and said, "You've already invited him twice."

Zhou Buqi said: "QChat has been shut down this time. It's time for him to come anyway. He can't still guard the QQ mailbox, right? Now everyone is using WeChat and WeChat, who still uses the mailbox. The QQ mailbox is A small product cannot give him lofty ambitions."

Guo Pengfei nodded, "Yeah, I think so. I heard... I heard that he seems to be a little unhappy over there. He offended a lot of people during the previous friction between Qxin and QQ."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Isn't that good? Come here!"

Guo Pengfei said: "It's okay to poach him. What position should I give him? He is the vice president of Penguin and the main person in charge of the Q letter project. Poach him and give him the vice president level of M6?"

"Okay." Zhou Buqi felt that this was a bit low, "Let's talk, M7 is also okay."

Guo Pengfei is now M8, the senior vice president of Ziweixing and the president of the WeChat business group. He is a little embarrassed, "The level is easy to say, but what about the position?"

Zhou Buqi said: "I will join the WeChat business group and serve as your deputy. I will get used to the WeChat environment first. From now on, if you don't care about this business, let him take over."

"I knew it." Guo Pengfei was a little angry, "How chilling is this arrangement? Where's Daliang? Have you forgotten Daliang? He led the team to develop WeChat!"

Da Liang is Fu Hongliang.

He is an alumnus of Beike.

The early founding employees of Xiaonei.com were young and promising, and were rising steadily. Especially the product WeChat, which he served as the project manager in the early days, was developed by him.

Now he is also the vice president of Weidian Business Group, M6 level, in charge of WeChat’s core social business.

What if Zhang Xiaolong, a defeated general who came from Qxin, became M7 after joining Ziweixing, and also became the leader of Fu Hongliang, the successor of the future business group president...

This is very unfair to Hongliang.

He might just quit his job in a fit of anger.

For Ziweixing, the gains outweigh the losses.

Zhou Buqi said: "Daliang is a talent. He gives me a much better sense of surprise than you. Just like when Zhang Yiming took his team out to work alone, he didn't use me much and built the Friends Network." , it feels almost the same.”

When Ziweixing started its business, it had two parts.

Part of it is the school network run by Guo Pengfei, and part is the friend network run by Zhang Yiming.

Zhang Yiming is basically fully responsible.

On the school network, Zhou Buqi is the "president", and Guo Pengfei is his instigator, and his instigator is still confused. Later, Shi Jinglin joined Xiaonei.com to start group buying on campus, and Guo Pengfei also worked for Shi Jinglin for a period of time.

Fu Hongliang was really pleasantly surprised.

When Zhou Buqi wanted to develop the WeChat product, the first thing he thought of was Zhang Xiaolong, the head of the QQ mailbox team, and he even went south several times to communicate with him in person.

But all poaching failed.

There was no other way but to do it by ourselves. Fu Hongliang went into battle and became the pioneer of WeChat development, while Guo Pengfei was the head coach, coordinating the overall situation and group resources.

Unexpectedly, Fu Hongliang really started making this product!

Rave reviews!

Guo Pengfei also mobilized the resources of the huge Ziweixing Group to assist, and he quickly secured the market. By the time Qxin developed it belatedly, the market had already been occupied by WeChat, giving it a first-mover advantage.

To say that the biggest contributor to WeChat’s defeat of QChat, Zhou Buqi’s first choice is Fu Hongliang.

Because of this, Fu Hongliang won a special contribution equity award specially approved by the chairman of the board last year - 10 million shares of Purple MSI shares! Based on the current expected issue price of US$100, it is worth US$1 billion.

Guo Pengfei said: "What about Daliang? Not to mention that we are alumni or entrepreneurial partners, with his ability... I don't think Zhang Xiaolong is better than him."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Daliang is young now. He is younger than you, the same age as me, right? He is full of energy! He has a bright future, you don't need to worry."

"Huh?" Guo Pengfei raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Buqi said: "In the field of mobile social networking, the war is over. Even if there are some small battles in the future, they will be insignificant. In the future, the WeChat business group will enter the defensive stage. We must productize WeChat. To develop towards an ecological WeChat. For example, our Internet financial business is actually WeChat Finance. It may not be appropriate for Daliang to do this business. Zhang Xiaolong has been building products for so many years, so let him build the WeChat ecosystem."

Guo Pengfei understood clearly, "You want to transfer Daliang away?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Daliang is a pioneer in conquering cities and territories. From the school network to WeChat, he has done so well. We cannot waste his talent and limit him to the WeChat business group. He still has greater challenges. !”

Guo Pengfei became excited and felt happy for his good friend Daliang, "What challenge?"

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "I see some domestic companies making some casually recorded video content on smartphones."

"Well, mobile phone shooting, mobile phone editing, mobile phone publishing. This is a characteristic product of the smartphone era." Guo Pengfei is obviously also paying attention to this field, "This kind of UGC video content shot casually will have a lot of room for development in the future. ."

Zhou Buqi said: "I believe it will be a more revolutionary field. After much thought, I feel that Daliang is the most suitable."

"Um."

"So you don't have to worry. Daliang is a buddy. How can he be tricked? Just do as I say, poach Zhang Xiaolong, and then gradually transfer the power to him. Purple Star International will be listed next year, and the year after that Asda is going public... I have already planned it. After Asda is listed, we will go to the United States to study together. During our four years in college, we just started our own business, but we didn't get a good feel for the atmosphere of the university campus. I haven’t even had a good relationship..."

"Wait a minute!" Guo Pengfei couldn't stand listening anymore, "Those of us are really busy with starting a business and have forgotten about falling in love. You are different, one by one... Even the entrepreneurial partners, Senior Sister Zhenyu and Junior Sister Baoshan for you……"

"Stop talking nonsense! You and Guan Ting got married right after you graduated from college. Did you two have a flash marriage?" Zhou Buqi snorted and sneered, "You don't even blush when you say this!"

Guo Pengfei laughed, "We met at work. It was a revolutionary relationship, different from you."

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, that's it, this matter is settled! Hurry up and take action! If there are any problems with Zhang Xiaolong or Daliang, just tell me and I will talk to them!"

After he finished the phone call, he saw his second sister Shi Jingmei coming over at some point, sitting on the sofa chatting with Mai Feixue and Xu Yuting.

Seeing him throwing his phone on the table, Shi Jingmei blinked and asked, "WeChat is going to recruit people from QChain?"

Zhou Buqi nodded, then looked at Xu Yuting and said seriously: "Sister Yuting, these are all business secrets and they are very important. No matter what you hear, you can't go out and talk nonsense."

Xu Yuting nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know."

Shi Jingmei pursed her lips, winked at Zhou Buqi, and looked at her, "Let's go to my room? I'll show you something good, I guarantee it will look good!"

"Let's go."

Zhou Buqi accepted the invitation. He couldn't just sit like this all the time. He had to walk around and move around properly, otherwise the spinal disease would develop from sitting down. It is also beneficial to protect your eyesight to enjoy it in different scenes instead of always staring at the study.
