Top of the big era

After dinner, return to the guest room.

I'm going to see the rightful owner tomorrow, so I need to communicate in advance and make a plan.

Liu Qing opened her notebook and took out a thick stack of documents, all of which were Xu Liangjie's personal resume and background introduction.

It can be said that it is very bright!

Born in 1970, he graduated with a master's degree at the age of 21, and then went to the University of California, Berkeley to study for a doctorate. He can be called a technical genius.

After graduating with a Ph.D., he participated in a global research and development competition initiated by the Pentagon. The search engine Berkeley-TREC5 he participated in designing won the undisputed gold medal.

Then, he joined a high-tech company and participated in the research and development of Excite, the first generation of Internet search engine, where he was the director of core technology, chief scientist, and the person in charge of the business.

Later, Ding Sanshi of Netease went to Silicon Valley to look for outstanding talents, and then he met them. At his invitation, he decided to join NetEase as the chief technology officer.

You must know that Excite was at its peak at that time, and the sudden job-hopping meant that a large amount of option stocks would not be available. And NetEase is still a grass-roots team, not even an independent office.

Unfortunately, the subsequent development was not smooth.

There are always some conceptual differences between the two sides.

Xu Liangjie wants to do some technological exploration in frontier fields, the United States can do it, why can't China do it? But in China's Internet industry, technology is not the first driving force at all.

When the Internet bubble crisis broke out, he did not leave.

After NetEase survived the crisis and started to make profits, he chose to leave and return to Silicon Valley. Join eBay and pursue your own technology.

At that time, it was 2002.

In eBay, he is the global vice president and vice president of engineering, and led eBay to establish the eBay China R\u0026D Center in Shanghai.

In 2005, Google gave up entering the Chinese market by taking a stake in Baidu and established Google China. At that time, Xu Liangjie was the first candidate for the position of president of Google China.

But he refused.

It's a pity that eBay's model is destined to be difficult to survive like Amazon.

In developed countries, copyright protection is very important. If you dare to sell a fake product, the platform may be fined and go bankrupt. However, eBay is a C2C model, and it is a very troublesome problem to control merchants to sell fake products.

Only Amazon's self-operated B2C model can be popular.

In China, there is actually no question of whether to sell fakes or not.

However, the heaven-defying Taobao emerged again.

Now, it is a big bull market in the world.

Technology stocks collectively rose, and the Internet industry began to rejuvenate. However, eBay's stock price continued to fall, and now, it is almost cut in half from the high point.

In the international market, it was defeated by Amazon, and in the domestic market, it was taught by Taobao. Although I made a series of major decisions and wanted to make improvements, the market didn't buy it at all.

It can be said that now is the best time to make a decisive attack and recruit Xu Liangjie under his command!

Zhou Buqi read the resume and almost made a decision, "It's decided, it's him! He's the one I need most!"

"What's the reason?"

"First, Ziweixing's next very important business is to be a search engine. He once led a team to make the first generation of search engines, and he has experience and technology. Second, he is 36 years old this year. It can be said that It's the age of the fight. It's not young, but it's not old. Just like He Yang, they are all in the golden age of Internet executives. In this age group, there will be neither impetuousness and confusion of young people, nor old men. They are less energetic and stubborn, and are better able to adapt to the rapidly changing Internet environment."

"In my opinion, there is a more important one."

"oh?"

"He has lived and worked in Silicon Valley for more than ten years, so he is very familiar with it. In the future, he can play a very important role in the cooperation between Ziweixing and high-tech enterprises in Silicon Valley."

Zhou Buqi smiled, and praised casually, "I don't think it's so important. With you, I'm very relieved that all the business in the United States will be entrusted to you."

Liu Qing glanced at him, "Aren't you afraid that I'll screw it up? My work experience is all about investing."

Zhou Buqi said: "I believe you can do it."

Liu Qing was very satisfied with his attitude, but she still said modestly: "Compared with Xu Liangjie, I'm still worse. If it's an investment-related business, such as investing in the Twitter network you mentioned, I'm confident that I can make it to the end." But if it is business cooperation between companies, especially in the field of technology, he is definitely better at it.”

Of course Zhou Buqi knew this, but he kept his composure and said stubbornly, "Really? You're not bad either!"

Liu Qing pursed her lips, gave him a half-smile look, and said softly, "If we want to lure him from eBay, we have to start from three aspects."

"you say."

"First, the feelings of family and country. We are all Chinese, why should we contribute to the United States in Silicon Valley? Even if technology has no borders..."

"Wait!" Zhou Buqi interrupted him, and said seriously: "Technology has national boundaries!"

Liu Qing was a little annoyed, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Buqi shrugged, "I'm telling the truth, this is Ziweixing's values, otherwise why should we put all our eggs in one basket for research and development? I'm not targeting Mr. Liu, but this is the reality."

Technology without borders was proposed by Mr. Liu, and it is also Lenovo's development philosophy.

Of course, it was no problem in the 1980s. It was the honeymoon period between China and the United States, and there was really no obvious national border. Nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers were all casually visited. In the 1990s, fortunately, many technical bans did not involve civilian use.

In the new century, there will be more and more problems, and there will be more and more technical bans, stricter and harsher.

But just as the country has just entered the market, has repeatedly breached contracts, and is accused every day, it must try its best to please the United States, maintain the stability of import and export tariffs, and emphasize the friendship between China and the United States.

As the first internationalized national enterprise, Lenovo should be the vanguard.

Lenovo can easily make overseas mergers and acquisitions, but Huawei's overseas mergers and acquisitions are struggling. A large part of the reason is that the relationship between Lenovo and the United States is really good. Both the White House and the Great Hall of the People have stated that Mr. Liu is a bridge of friendship between China and the United States in the new era.

But in the long run, the slogan that technology has no borders is undoubtedly wrong, with the limitations of the times and the narrowness of corporate strategy.

Boss Liu's management philosophy can be regarded as a template in China, but his vision...is really not that good. Whether it is setting a strategy or selecting a successor, there are huge problems and he has made many mistakes.

Of course, Lenovo's major shareholder is the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the country.

Many decisions must follow the will of the state.

The water here is too deep, as deep as 404 meters.

Liu Qing glanced at him fiercely, and said contemptuously: "If you have the ability, go and tell my dad face to face, what is the ability to bully his daughter?"

Zhou Buqi was a little embarrassed, and said embarrassingly: "I'm not stupid... okay, let's not talk about this, you continue, what is the strategy of poaching people?"

Liu Qing snorted, skipped this point, and said, "First, he is from China. Of course, serving the motherland is more valuable in life. I didn't have the opportunity to display my talents before and came to the United States, so that's all. Now The Internet in China is developing so well, and the Chinese in Silicon Valley have started a wave of returning to China.”

"Well, if there is a choice, no one is not patriotic." Zhou Buqi nodded, "Continue, what about the second point?"

Liu Qing said: "EBay's stock price has plummeted, and the investors have put tremendous pressure on the board of directors. So they have made a decision to reduce the research and development expenditure for the next three years, in order to increase the profit and increase the stock price."

Zhou Buqi curled his lips and sighed, "This is the helplessness of listed companies."

"The third point is Ziweixing's value concept, development strategy, and your personal charm."

"oh?"

"Like I said, Xu Liangjie is very fond of technology. He must be dissatisfied with eBay's drastic cuts in research and development funding. You know the research and development center of eBay China?"

"certainly."

"It's almost being hollowed out! Especially those tech giants, they basically jumped to Google's R\u0026D center in China. Li Kaifu's influence is too great."

Zhou Buqi's eyes lit up, "It really is a good opportunity!"

Liu Qing smiled and said: "Yeah, don't look at me working in the Hong Kong government, but I have heard about Ziweixing. You want to make a distributed database. This is a very risky, bold, and exciting decision. .”

Zhou Buqi's face darkened, "Has this matter been reported to the Hong Kong government?"

He still wants to keep it a secret.

Depend on!

In the Internet circle, there are no secrets at all.

Who spread the word?

It may be from the Natural Science Foundation of China, it may be from the review team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it may be the executives of Ziwei Star, or it may be the ordinary developers of Ziwei Star R\u0026D Center...

There is no way to check this matter.

Seeing his worry, Liu Qing shook her head and said, "Don't worry, it doesn't involve military industry. Even if you do it, there are no restrictions. The news will only be a good thing, and it will boost the industry's confidence. It can also help you attract more like-minded people, such as Xu Liangjie!"

Zhou Buqi smiled, "I didn't expect that my personal charm is quite great!"

"Um."

Liu Qing nodded slightly, her tone was soft, and then...even though she was very calm, calm, relaxed, and at ease, her face still blushed.

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

Liu Qing said: "Xu Liangjie's matter is basically these, and it's over. Don't be too rigid about the specific details. It's all designed, but there will be a sense of routine, which makes people unhappy. Ziweixing is very famous. You He is so legendary, just go to meet him in the most natural way, I think it will work."

"Well, yes."

As for the other two, don't think about it. Zhang Chaoyang also said that it was inappropriate.

At this time, Liu Qing suddenly spoke, and said abruptly: "This hotel has too many customers, so I just booked a room."

"Oh." Zhou Buqi nodded, and immediately realized that something was wrong with her words, and opened his eyes wide, "Liu Qing, you... what do you mean?"

Liu Qing said lightly: "This means that today we can only make do with one room for one night."

I rely on!

Zhou Buqi directly exploded the hair!

What are you doing?

Brother is learning well, and is working hard to improve self-control!

What do you mean by one or two of you, do you have to force me to degenerate?
