Top of the big era

Zhou Buqi actually didn't like being disturbed like this.

Even these two girls look quite pretty.

But people have already come over, and their attitude is still so humble. It's hard not to give them face. That would be too arrogant.

"Okay, have a drink."

Zhou Buqi picked up his red wine and touched it with them.

The red wine in the glasses of the two actresses was about one-third full, and they drank it all in one gulp. Zhou Buqi only took a slight sip, but did not invite them to sit down. This was very ungentlemanly. Neither he nor Lei Jun had a female companion tonight, and the seats were all empty.

It is estimated that these two beautiful actresses saw such an opportunity and dared to take the risk.

Zhou Buqi didn't give them a chance. He pointed at Lei Jun opposite him and said with a smile: "This is Mr. Lei, we are discussing business."

"Oh, hello, Mr. Lei. I am Yanxi, Chen Yanxi. I will come to the mainland soon to film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". This is my friend Qiaoen, who has the same surname as me and is also an actor. This year's martial arts drama "Laughter" In "Proud Jianghu", she played the role of Dongfang Invincible."

Chen Yanxi and another actress were at a loss because they had finished drinking the wine and were too embarrassed to ask for the red wine from Mr. Zhou on the table, so they could only nod in greeting. They are no longer young girls. After working in this industry for so many years, they naturally heard the implication of Mr. Zhou's words.

They are discussing business, don't bother me!

I was very disappointed in my heart, so I could only drag the good sisters around me and leave with a little resentment.

After they left, Lei Jun said jokingly: "It's so good to be a woman, it's enviable!"

Zhou Buqi said: "That's because you're not out of the circle, and they don't know you. If you make some noise and get out of the circle, they will be equally enthusiastic about you. Who can still have trouble with a rich boss? Especially Baodao In the entertainment industry there, the culture of gold masters is prevalent.”

The godfather culture here in the mainland was passed over from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

To be precise, the Baodao side is the most exaggerated.

Even after decades of development, the sugar daddy culture has acquired more cultural symbols, which are not just the relationship between female stars and big financial sponsors, but have also become socially popularized. For example, if a program is sponsored by Robust, when introducing the sponsor, it will say: "Thank you to our godfather Robust for your sponsorship and support."

Lei Jun shook his head repeatedly and said: "Goodbye, I'd better run my business with peace of mind!"

"Huh?" Zhou Buqi looked at him strangely, "You don't think I'm joking, do you? Now is the Internet era. Whoever can grab the traffic can catch the user's attention. Isn't this corporate marketing? . How strong is Jobs’s out-of-the-circle attribute? If you look at the Rockets’ Musk, he posts dozens of tweets a day, and you wish that no one in the world knew him.”

Lei Jun became serious, "Are you really out of the circle?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, if you look at the big entrepreneurial Vs on Weibo, don't they all have this idea? I think you don't seem to be very interested in running Weibo. Corporate brand building is too difficult. It takes years of accumulation. The entrepreneur’s personal IP is actually the brand image of the company. In many cases, the entrepreneur is the spokesperson of the company, especially for technology companies. "

Lei Jun waved his hand, "I'm not like you, I can't speak, and my image is not good."

Zhou Buqi said: "Only those who are poor can feel close to others. If someone is as good as me, they will feel distant from the public, which makes it difficult to get out of the circle."

"Well……"

Lei Jun twitched the corner of his mouth, but it was really difficult to refute.

Then, he turned the topic to the copycat phone industry.

I feel like doing this kind of thing as boss Zhou always feels a bit unworthy.

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "It's not like I just go off and do it. When the time comes, I really have to do it. Xiaomi still has to help."

"Ah?" Lei Jun was startled, "How can Xiaomi help? Xiaomi's biggest goal now is to eliminate the domestic copycat phone industry from the market and drive out bad money with good money."

Zhou Buqi said: "Originally, we didn't plan to sell it in the domestic market. This copycat phone... is actually a phone with poor quality and super low price. It can be a functional phone or some smart phone, and it should be oriented to some economical users." It’s a very weak third world country. At that time, whatever designs and solutions Xiaomi has that will be eliminated, and some remaining spare parts and so on, can be transferred.”

"Waste recycling?"

Lei Jun couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Buqi looked serious and said solemnly: "You're right, it's waste recycling! Now iPhone and Samsung are both produced domestically. I estimate that within a few years, 90% of the world's mobile phone manufacturing will be It will be completed domestically, and more than one billion mobile phones may be produced a year. The production of so many mobile phones will inevitably produce a lot of production waste, which can actually be reused, just like the supplier waste discussed at today's industry meeting. Industry resources. And as Director Qiao said today, many companies will have excess production capacity due to wrong decisions, and this excess capacity cannot be wasted. "

Dealing with excess production capacity requires more than just frugality.

The living conditions at the supply chain end are actually very dangerous.

Because in industrial cooperation, mobile phone manufacturers often have to borrow money first and then pay it back.

For example, Xiaomi wants to order 10 million domestically produced Scud batteries.

Xiaomi will not pay.

Feimaotui needs to find a way to get a loan first, bear the cost to produce these 10 million batteries, and then deliver them. After a period of 6-10 months, Xiaomi's mobile phones are sold, and the money is collected, and then the money is paid to the supplier.

Xiaomi is a big company, so there is no problem in cooperation.

But the competition in the mobile phone industry is too fierce.

Many mobile phone companies have gone bankrupt overnight.

The problem arises, what should the mobile phone company do with the money owed to suppliers?

How to use inventory to pay off debts, how to digest this inventory, and how to turn it into real money?

Or, if the supplier produces the product, the mobile phone company regrets or goes bankrupt, and no longer needs it, what should be done?

The bitter fruit needs to be borne by the supplier himself.

Once this happens, the supplier will be asked to pay the debt by the bank, and may only go bankrupt.

Just like a real estate company, which owes 2 trillion yuan, of which more than 1 trillion yuan is owed to suppliers... This is simply a bloodbath in the industry. A large number of suppliers have fallen into bankruptcy crisis or bankrupt on the spot, including seven or eight large state-owned enterprises with strong strength.

It is not terrible for a company to go bankrupt, but it is this chain reaction that will lead to the collapse of the entire industry.

The same is true for the mobile phone industry.

Fortunately, the mobile phone industry is mainly based on the market economy, and there will not be up to 70% of blood withdrawal like the real estate industry. In addition, mobile phone manufacturers such as China Cool Union, Xiaomi, OPPO, Hisense, and Haier are very reliable, and there is no risk of large-scale paralysis in the industrial structure.

However, there are always accidents, and there are always some suppliers who will go bankrupt due to bad debts.

This is not eliminated by the market, but eliminated by accident.

This is a pity.

Zhou Buqi is now trying to create a "copycat manufacturer" to solve this problem well, digest the excess resources in the industry, and take in many outdated and obsolete supply-side spare parts.

It is outdated in China, but it is still advanced in many countries!

Lei Jun was a little distracted and asked tentatively: "Did someone remind you? There is a call for the 'Belt and Road'. The countries that can participate in the response must be some poor countries, except for the war-torn countries in the Middle East, and those places in Africa. Are you doing this to cooperate with the authorities? Or are you actively participating in political speculation?"

Zhou Buqi's forehead was black, "Never thought about it!"

"Really?"

Lei Jun didn't quite believe it.

The "Belt and Road" initiative has come out, and it is conceivable that it will definitely be a big deal next. Spending trillions of dollars will always produce some results. The country has invested so much money, and domestic companies can always get some concessions and preferential treatment when they go there to do business.

It is a perfect match with Boss Zhou's plan.

He must think so!

Zhou Buqi said unhappily: "Do I need to play this kind of speculation when I do business? Now there are two large markets with strong demand, and the market determines everything!"
