Top of the big era

Entering June, there are many happy events.

Feminke, vice president of Shanda Yanjing Branch, and his 46-member team were successfully employed.

So far, there are 326 employees in Ziweixing's headquarters, 108 in the R\u0026D center, and a total of 434 employees.

At the end of the month, the senior students officially leave the school, and another group of 72 freshmen will join the job.

The HR department is still actively promoting social recruitment. Within this year, another 50-60 people will be hired at the headquarters, and another 70-80 people will be recruited at the R\u0026D center.

The goal by the end of the year is to have a total of 650 employees.

Of course, normal hiring is slower. If you are optimistic about a certain company and buy it directly, the number of people will increase even faster.

In addition, the United States also sent back news.

Grabbing parking spaces is a big hit in the North American market.

According to the original VAM agreement, Ziweixing's shareholding ratio in Facebook has risen to 4%. Zuckerberg also kept his promise, launching two projects of advertising distribution and open platform.

Everything is progressing steadily.

The ad on Friends.com has already been launched, and the results of the first day's data show that a total of 2.26 million ad clicks have been received. According to 0.4 yuan per click, the single-day advertising fee is 900,000 yuan.

That's not all.

On June 3, the first and second leaders of the district government took the main leaders of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the Personnel Bureau, the Finance Bureau and other government agencies to investigate at the Ziweixing Research Center and delivered an important speech.

Secretary Wang also praised Ziweixing's determination to pursue technology, and said that if Ziweixing's distributed database is really successful, the district government is willing to take the lead, calling on public institutions to actively purchase Ziweixing's self-developed database.

Zhou Buqi looked at Secretary Wang's age and calculated it. When Ziweixing's database is developed, it is estimated that the old man should also retire.

If he is not in his position, who will listen to him?

If it's your own database, you can also sell licenses and make money lying down like Oracle, I don't know how cool it is.

Throughout the world, Oracle is the only company that can become an industry giant by selling licenses. Even Microsoft's database has to be open source and free for everyone to use.

Fortunately, our national conditions are special, and we are not a real market economy.

Unless domestic products are really not on the table, use foreign products. Otherwise, when the official purchase is made, it must be mainly made in China. With the leadership of the government, agencies, public institutions, and state-owned enterprises, it should not be a dream to surpass Oracle and become the number one database giant in China.

In later generations, China also launched a grand "Xinchuang" plan, which is to integrate all IT infrastructure, including CPU chips, servers, storage, switches, routers, databases, operating systems, middleware, office software, government applications, Streaming software, security software, etc., are all localized.

to ensure national security.

Of course, from the perspective of the industry, this big plan is more or less self-important and empty-handed, but this is policy!

As long as the product is excellent, there will be support from the state.

It can be said that the concept of a distributed large database ecosystem led by Google is the best opportunity for domestic databases to overtake on corners.

On June 5, good news came from the United States.

Yu Zhen and her classmate Omar Hamui co-founded a company focused on mobile advertising in Silicon Valley called AdMob. The company will develop an advertising platform to help merchants bypass the operator's content control and profit by adding advertisements to the products they develop.

It's a neat idea.

Among them, Zhen Yuchu paid for the relationship, and Omar Hamui was in charge of technology and operations.

For share distribution, the two hold 40% respectively, and the remaining 20% ​​is used to recruit 3-4 capable partners.

For this reason, Zhen Yu sent a letter back, requesting a remittance of 2 million US dollars. $1 million is used to set up the company and $1 million is set aside for emergencies.

Well worth the money!

However, that afternoon, the bad news came.

He Yang came to Zhou Buqi's office in embarrassment, "I'm afraid the matter of Lenovo will not come to fruition."

"The MP3 thing?"

"Yes, Yang Yuanqing can't push it, and can't sell it."

"He is the chairman and CEO of Lenovo Group, can't he carry out such a trivial matter?"

"no way."

Zhou Buqi said: "I think he just has no courage!"

He Yang is also very helpless, "His position is not easy to do, and he always has to make trade-offs. He is not Boss Liu, and his influence on the board of directors is very limited. Selling the MP3 business line is tantamount to giving up this track, which will lead to a decline in stock prices. "

"Short-sighted!"

"However, he proposed another cooperation proposal."

"how?"

"He said that he could authorize us to use Lenovo's brand and the supplier relationship of the MP3 business line to launch customized MP3s for college students across the country."

Zhou Buqi said coldly: "It's really a wishful thinking! He doesn't need to sell anything. I design, produce, and sell the products, but in the end he helps them improve their brand image? Help them win the recognition of college students?"

He Yang was also very distressed, and felt that this was a thankless task, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "There is no way to do this."

Zhou Buqi felt that the happy event at the beginning of this month was suddenly wiped out.

The most important thing has gone wrong.

A crippled and cumbersome business line, someone willing to pay for it, but still can't sell it? This association is simply rotten inside.

After He Yang left, Zhou Buqi sat there thinking for a long time, and then called out, "Yaxian! Come here!"

Ning Yaxian was wearing a neat lady's OL suit, she walked over pretty and gracefully, and stood beside her, "Boss, did you call me?"

"Lenovo, what do you think?"

"Is it about the MP3?"

"right."

"I think it can be done."

"Oh? Tell me the reason."

"I think we should base ourselves on ourselves. Mr. He is right. After all, Lenovo is a big company with a strong confidence. Taking the current Ziwei Star as an example, if there is an opportunity to cooperate with Lenovo, it must not be missed."

Talking to women is just different.

Especially such a beautiful woman with outstanding figure and light and familiar uniform.

Zhou Buqi was in a better mood, and asked her with a smile, "What are the benefits of cooperating with Lenovo?"

Ning Yaxian said: "Supply chain relationship, use tiger skin as a banner. As long as Lenovo authorizes it, we must take the opportunity of making Lenovo brand MP3 to establish relationships with high-end supply chain merchants."

"Um."

"One more point, if you directly make the MP3 brand of 'Ziwei', it will be the best if it succeeds, but what should you do if it fails? Or what should you do if the business model doesn't work out and you want to stop the loss? It will definitely affect the 'Ziwei'. Brand image. With Lenovo as a touchstone, there will be no worries.”

Zhou Buqi smiled with satisfaction.

This line of thinking is similar to what he thought.

Just praise her, "It seems that you are already very familiar with the company's business."

Ning Yaxian shook her head modestly, "It's still far away."

Zhou Buqi asked: "You have been in the company for almost half a month, how do you feel?"

Ning Yaxian said: "There are many women."

"ah?"

"I said, Ziwei Star has so many female employees, which is great. There are so many female executives, and the workplace environment is very comfortable."

Zhou Buqi thought for a moment.

Female executives?

That's Shi Jinglin, Liu Qing and Pei Yao, right? Who else? Further down, including the management of M1 and M2, there are only seven or eight.

Ning Yaxian said softly: "In my previous company, there were hundreds of people at the level of department heads, and only five of them were women. It is said that Japanese women are very virtuous, and they all work as housewives at home. There is no way, the workplace is too unfriendly to women."

Zhou Buqi's heart trembled.

Hundreds of department heads? There are not many large companies of this level in Japan, right? They also do electronics, that is, Panasonic, Sharp, Hitachi, Sony, Canon...

There is one thing I have to admit.

It’s just that the management training of Japanese companies is so good, it’s no wonder that people who come out of Japanese companies will be scrambled by major companies. The professional quality is really strong.

Just say Ning Yaxian.

The clothes and makeup are very decent every day, and I am not late or leave early. She never left the company before Zhou Buqi. Moreover, he was basically vague about his old club.

Never speak ill of your old club.

The more she kept silent, the more curious Zhou Buqi became.

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "You move a stool and sit down, let's chat, I will learn from you the management system of Japanese companies, I heard that their level is quite high."

Ning Yaxian moved a chair and shook her head, "Not high at all, bad, very bad. I've never seen such a stupid company."

"madness?"

"Pedantic, old-fashioned, stereotyped, infighting, relationalism, gang formation, sex trading, sexual harassment in the workplace... all in all, it's horrible."

Zhou Buqi couldn't believe it, "No way?"

"You want to hear a story?"

"think."

"Then I'll talk."

Ning Yaxian sat down opposite him, and started talking after half a year of technical and business training. She is Chinese and is proficient in English. It stands to reason that she should be assigned to the International Department.

As a result, he was assigned to department L.

Why didn't you go to the International Department?

Later, she went to the HR lady to ask, after some inquiries, she said she was the department head of the International Department, and she was rejected when she heard that she was a woman. What's even more absurd is that the department head of the international department is one of the five department heads out of hundreds of department heads in the entire group company.

I went to department L, where there are a group of old men, and the youngest is an uncle in his 40s. No one can speak English, and the customers we deal with are all established Japanese companies or government departments.

I go there every day just to read newspapers and chat.

They were also pleasantly surprised by the new girl, and enjoyed chatting with her.

Talk about the glory of the year.

These old men, walking around with a teapot all day long, don't do any work. Other departments work overtime at every turn, but here there is no leisure job at all, just like being a civil servant.

After a long time, I gradually learned that this department L was also a well-known and important department of the group back then.

The old man who loves to drink tea the most is actually a boss at the department head level.

Because this is an enterprise that has existed for decades, and the products it produces have lasted for decades. Although technology continues to advance and products are introduced, there are many old products that are still used by many established companies and government agencies.

Therefore, the role of this department is to maintain these customers. Once their products have problems, they must come to them in time to solve them.

"So, you are not doing research and development, but technical support?" Zhou Buqi vaguely heard something.

Ning Yaxian admitted frankly, "Well, pre-sales technical explanation, after-sales technical guarantee."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "There are still advantages. For products decades ago, I would rather maintain a waste department with high salaries, but also adhere to business ethics and maintain after-sales service."

Ning Yaxian said: "But this is very distressing for a newcomer like me. The technology in this department is from 20 or 30 years ago and has been eliminated by the market long ago. What's the use of me learning this technology?"

"It's better to learn than not to learn, right?"

"Well, so I went to ask for advice, and then I was taken aback. Those old men in the ministry were the top technical experts in that field twenty years ago. When it comes to technology, everyone's eyes shine. A It took only one or two hours, and the speaking speed was very fast. My Japanese was not good enough at the time, and I couldn’t understand it at all..."

At this time, Zhou Buqi's eyes changed a little.

Ning Yaxian was sitting opposite him.

She was wearing a knee-length skirt and flesh-colored stockings. Look carefully, the line of sight seems to be able to see the scenery under the skirt along the middle of the legs...

But at this moment, she twisted her legs and covered them all at once.

Zhou Buqi's heart skipped a beat, thinking he had been discovered, he looked up at her, and found that her complexion was as usual, as soft as water, and continued to talk about her past...

"I have career expectations, and I don't want to waste my time in that old department. The state is getting worse and worse. Later, the old man found out that he is a high-ranking person, helped me get rid of the relationship, and transferred me to department X. "

"This department is very technical?"

"Strong, very strong. Let's put it this way, as long as you can do odd jobs in this department, you can also be called a technical master when you go out."

"Now you should be satisfied."

Ning Yaxian shook her head, "I'm not satisfied at all. They saw that I was a woman, so they didn't arrange a job for me at all, and they didn't teach me skills. Instead, they asked me to check documents, copy documents, login information, check forms, etc. about..."

Zhou Buqi twitched the corner of his mouth.

Isn't this a secretary?

She doesn't like this kind of work?

Ning Yaxian immediately changed her tone, "I was young back then, and I felt that when I went abroad alone, I always wanted to do something."

Zhou Buqi secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Then my heart suddenly tightened!

Depend on!

Why is she so good at observing words and expressions? You guessed my mind right away? Then the look in my eyes just now... oops! not good!

Ning Yaxian pursed her lips and chuckled, "Later, my career had a turning point. There was something that couldn't be solved in Department Y, so I was sent there."

"What's up?"

"The R\u0026D team in Spain and the R\u0026D team in India are technically connected. They all speak English, but no one can understand the other. The English proficiency of the section chief, director, and department head is even worse, and they can't understand anyway. I transferred it. Now, let me manage the two teams."

"What kind of company is it?"

"Boss, I want to hear my story. Let's talk about it later. There is a meeting on the financial side. You need to attend to sort out the income and expenditure of last month."

Ning Yaxian stood up gently, stroked the folds of her skirt.

It's too late, but it's fast.

Zhou Buqi's eyes sharpened instantly, taking advantage of that fleeting moment to complete a glimpse.

Well, white!
