Top of the big era

Zhou Buqi felt that Zhou Hongyi was playing tricks on himself.

If you don't do anything about this matter, you will be servile, which will damage the concept of micro-point security guards and harm the interests of users. If it is done, it will fall out with an organization like CNNIC.

Left and right are not people.

No matter how you choose, there are great risks.

Zhou Buqi secretly sneered.

I feel that Zhou Hongyi is deliberately putting money on his face.

To put it bluntly, the current "Two Weeks" are not on the same level at all. In terms of wealth, power, status, connections, and influence... Zhou Buqi is far stronger than the other party.

Zhou Buqi is now the boss who has wrestled with Mr. Li of Baidu and discussed cooperation with Mr. Ali Ma. He has already sat at the top of the domestic Internet pyramid.

This thorny problem was very difficult for Zhou Hongyi to solve. He had no choice but to choose to work hard with CNNIC at the risk of the world's displeasure.

Don't say it's hard to win, so what if you win?

CNNIC is an official organization, and if it wins, it will hurt the dignity of a big country.

Zhou Buqi didn't pay attention to this problem before, but now that he knows it, he must take action to solve it. The solution must be mellow, moderate, and in line with the interests of all parties.

In the first step, Zhou Buqi went upstairs to find Lao Zhang and told him about it. Demonstrate first whether your thinking is correct.

Zhang Chaoyang sat motionless on the yoga mat, as if he was letting out the old and inhaling the new.

Zhou Buqi said: "What are you doing here? Do you follow Jiajing Emperor's inaction and practice Taoism to become an immortal? Did you hear what I said?"

Only then did Zhang Chaoyang open his eyes, and said helplessly, "How old are you? Are you not tired of trying to deal with such a big matter every day?"

"With great power comes great responsibility."

"I really don't know where you got so much energy."

"Stop lying on a woman's belly for a while, and you'll have everything."

Zhang Chaoyang stared, "I don't know why!"

He snorted heavily, then got up slowly, went to the sofa and sat down with him, picked up a few blueberries from the fruit plate, ate a few, and said slowly: "If you want to say that this is Lao Zhou setting you up, I underestimated him a little.”

"Yeah?"

"Let's not talk about personal relationships, why would he do such a thing that hurts others and does not benefit himself?"

"What do you mean?"

"Look for a psychological comfort." Zhang Chaoyang looked like a cultivator with insight into the world, as if giving advice to ordinary people, "Qihu has already lost, he must not be willing to be defeated by you, a rising star, and wants to give you Come up with a problem, a problem that he can't solve himself. If you solve it perfectly without offending both sides, he will be convinced."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, that's the reason. Let him completely give up and be convinced before he can hand over the company to me."

Zhang Chaoyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You want to take over again?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Business merger is the fastest way to develop, and acquisition is the least expensive and most cost-effective."

Zhang Chaoyang snorted, "Young-sounding, how do you want to solve this matter?"

"Helping the two sides connect, what do you think?"

"ah?"

"CNNIC's plug-in is mainly to help ordinary people surf the Internet in Chinese. However, the domain name box of the IE browser only supports English. If we can push Microsoft to carry out certain technical updates and add Chinese to it, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

This is Zhou Buqi's idea.

The general meaning is that if the user wants to log in to Baidu, he needs to enter baidu in the domain name column. The function of the Chinese plug-in is to enter "Baidu", and he can already jump to the Baidu homepage.

The technical method is very simple, which is to bind the word "Baidu" to the domain name to form a substitute.

This outdated method of surfing the Internet has long been eliminated.

Now everyone is using search engines, which are powerful and informative.

The role of domain names has become less and less.

Therefore, netizens are boycotting the CNNIC Chinese plug-in. The existence of this thing has no meaning, but...the symbolic meaning of going online in Chinese is too strong.

Zhang Chaoyang was a little surprised, "The connection between the two sides? Connection between CNNIC and Microsoft?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, I still have some relationship. I have met Ballmer, and I have also communicated with Bill Gates by email. I have a good relationship with Microsoft China and can talk. This matter If you want to solve it, I can speak on the domestic side. Let CNNIC solve it, then you have to use diplomatic relations, which is a waste of national resources."

Zhang Chaoyang couldn't help but sarcastically said: "You really serve the country and the people!"

Zhou Buqi said: "What do you think of this idea?"

Zhang Chaoyang frowned, "Can you convince CNNIC? They earn tens of millions of dollars every year through the Chinese plug-in. Who will make up for it?"

Zhou Buqi snorted and said: "I have helped for free, and they still care about this black-hearted money? I will communicate with them later. If the communication fails, I will go to Boss Liu and ask him to talk directly to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Boss Liu can't do it anymore. , I’ll write directly to the big leader! I don’t believe it anymore, can right and wrong be reversed?”

"Aren't you afraid of offending people?"

"It's not considered offending, right? CNNIC provides technical support and provides Chinese general URLs for IE browsers. There should be a service fee."

"Difficult, and even if there is, how much is it?"

"But this is a political achievement. Besides my country, which country in the world can do it? The IE browser only supports English and Chinese. This is an honor."

Zhang Chaoyang felt that this matter was of great significance, and tentatively said: "You just act as an intermediary and don't participate? Why don't we do it together, this matter is not difficult."

Zhou Buqi immediately refused, and said angrily: "You think too much! There is no room for profit in this matter, and there is no prospect for development. There are only political achievements and no benefits. What are we doing by getting involved? Give all the benefits to CNNIC. It can gain a good reputation. It is the organization responsible for the registration and management of domain names in my country and the operation of domain name root servers. It is the most suitable thing to do this kind of Chinese domain name.”

"Is there no prospect?"

"Yes, the way to surf the Internet in the future, search engines will completely replace domain names."

Zhou Buqi finished half of his words.

This is just the PC side.

In the mobile era, the way to reach websites through search engines is no longer needed, and it has become various vertical apps.

Zhang Chaoyang took a deep look at him, "Are you telling the truth now?"

"ah?"

"Before Sogou was sold, why didn't you say so?"

"Hey, it's not that I haven't encountered such a thing... Okay, Lao Zhang, let's do this together, and it can be regarded as making some contributions to the country. There are no monetary benefits, but there are hidden benefits. , This is an excellent way to build a good relationship with the authorities. Zhou Hongyi is fighting head-to-head in the ring, but we can take care of the overall situation, isn't that superior to others?"

"I knew it, you kid has no good intentions!"

"How? Do it together?"

"OK."

...

Although our country's network infrastructure is still relatively backward, we are developing rapidly. The Internet situation in recent years has been very optimistic, and the number of Internet users has increased. We are already the second largest Internet country worthy of the name.

Microsoft is a commercial company. For the sake of profit, it will definitely try to curry favor with domestic users.

It can be seen from the tacit approval of the pirated system.

If you want to do big business, you have to cultivate the market first, just like Boss Ma’s Taobao customer strategy. Under this premise, many things can be turned a blind eye.

However, some experts are particularly ignorant. For example, Academician Ni publicly declared, "The domestic operating system cannot be developed because Microsoft deliberately condoned pirated systems in China, which is a conspiracy of Microsoft."

The impact of this matter is very bad, and Microsoft will act immediately to connect with the WTO. The country couldn't bear the pressure, so it shut down websites for pirated operating systems such as Tomato Garden, and arrested and sentenced those responsible.

Microsoft is still not satisfied, and there is an extra activation period. If the time is up, the pirated system will be blacked out, causing great inconvenience to domestic netizens... Later, through repeated communication through diplomatic relations, they spent a lot of money to buy Microsoft Only then did they reach a settlement, and Microsoft lifted restrictions on pirated systems.

It can be seen that enterprises reaching the level of Microsoft are not just as simple as business relations and science and technology.

It is necessary to have a higher perspective of the overall situation.

Zhou Buqi was not sure about this matter, so he went to Mr. Liu for a consultation, and got approval and some suggestions.

That's fine, let's go!

Email Bill Gates first and explain the problem.

Then I ran a lot of connections in the ministries and commissions, explaining the stakes.

After seven or eight days in a row, I finally received a reply email from Bill Gates. The words were very polite, and he said that he realized the importance of this matter after discussing it with Chen Yongzheng from Microsoft China. I will find time to come once this month, and hope to meet and discuss in detail.

Zhou Buqi feels that this matter is basically done.

On the same day, Zhou Hongyi was asked out to have hot pot together.

"I heard you haven't been quiet lately?"

Zhou Hongyi was wearing a red shirt, and he was eating a hairy belly in a very disfigured way.

Zhou Buqi likes to get along with this kind of people very much, he is very casual, he can come here anytime, and he is also very casual for eating, hot pot and barbecue. If it was Boss Ma, he would not be present at the table without any style.

"It's not you who tormented me!"

"Is it about the plug-in?" Zhou Hongyi stopped the action of boiling the mutton.

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Yes, Bill Gates said that he will come to China on the 26th, and we will discuss it in detail then."

"Bill Gates?" Zhou Hongyi was very surprised, "What does this have to do with him?"

Zhou Buqi said: "IE belongs to Microsoft, do you think it has anything to do with it?"

Zhou Hongyi opened his eyes wide, put down his chopsticks, and said in disbelief: "No way, can you convince Gates to cancel the FSD-IN interface?"

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "This is someone else's technology management, how can I, an outsider, intervene?"

"Um?"

Zhou Hongyi's brows were tightly furrowed, and he couldn't understand it.

Zhou Buqi said: "The concept of the Chinese plug-in is not wrong, what is wrong is the way of promotion. In this case, it is better to promote the cooperation between CNNIC and Microsoft, and directly integrate the functions of the Chinese plug-in with IE, so that you can follow the IE browser, It has been promoted to every computer. For the sake of user experience, it is impossible for Microsoft to allow any unfriendly behavior of this plug-in function, and everything will be normalized.”

"Promote the cooperation between CNNIC and Microsoft?" Zhou Hongyi took a deep breath, dumbfounded, "What are you doing for?"

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Is it enough for the country and the people?"

Zhou Hongyi snorted, not believing it at all.

Zhou Buqi glanced at him, "Is it enough to give you a standard answer to this question? How does my strategy compare with yours?"

"high!"

Zhou Hongyi gave a thumbs up, sincerely convinced, convinced.

This plot is not easy to write too straightforwardly, nor can it be written too detailed.

Anyway, it was Zhou Hongyi who posed a problem for the protagonist, which was perfectly solved by the protagonist, and then he surrendered sincerely and let Zhou Buqi take over.
