Top of the big era

Boss Zhou came forward in person, and the acquisition went smoothly.

The main reason is that Zhou Hongyi also wanted to get rid of this burden as soon as possible. If it is delayed for another month, the employees will have to be paid wages, and there will be less funds in the account, and it will be even more difficult to sell at a higher price.

He Yang and Wang Haoyang teamed up to negotiate. After talking all morning, it was easily settled.

It was sold at a price of 22 million yuan!

In addition, there are additional conditions, that is, when Ziweixing raises funds in the future, Zhou Hongyi will be given the opportunity to participate in the financing as an individual, and he will be given a seat as an independent director.

This seat is very important.

In the future, Zhou Hongyi's work will mainly be angel investment, looking for promising innovative projects one by one. However, for many excellent projects, investors are scrambling to donate money. How should the founders choose? Usually, it's not about who gives more money, but who has the most powerful resources behind them.

After Ziweixing becomes stronger, Zhou Hongyi's identity role will come up. He can help start-up companies connect with giants like Ziweixing, which will have great competitiveness.

It is also good for Ziweixing.

For large companies, innovation is the most difficult thing. One is the lack of creativity, and the other is the lack of enough outstanding talents. With Zhou Hongyi's relationship, you can connect with more entrepreneurs. If you find good talent, you can poach it.

After the deal was settled, Zhou Buqi, Xu Liangjie, Ji Zian, Meng Houkun and others went to Qihoo 360's headquarters.

Decor is simple.

It belongs to the typical decoration style of poor Internet companies. Simply divide the room, polish the wall and the floor, hang chandeliers, put tables and chairs, and arrange the workstations, and then the work can start.

There is no beauty.

This kind of decoration, from the rough to the settlement, can basically be done in one month.

Not to mention that it will release formaldehyde after being vacant for a period of time.

This kind of top-notch office building has extremely high rents, and ordinary companies can't wait to move in as soon as possible. It's not to harm the health of the employees, because the boss also moved in, and everyone worked hard to save money.

It's not like the headquarters of Ziwei Star, which was renovated for half a year and then vacant for three or four months, almost wasting a year's rent.

So as soon as he got here, Ji Zian's face became a little ugly.

The decoration environment is too bad!

It is completely incomparable with the beautiful decoration style of Ziweixing headquarters in Sohu Building.

Zhou Buqi comforted him, "No way, there are only three floors at the headquarters, and the seventh floor is borrowed from Sohu. The space is limited and can accommodate up to 900-1,000 people. This year, the total number of employees of Ziweixing is expected to reach 2,000. .There are certain departments that will definitely move out."

Xu Liangjie nodded, "Turn around and change the facade to become Ziweixing's security affairs center. The rent has been paid, so it can't be vacant, right?"

Ji Zian said bitterly: "How about modifying it a little?"

Xu Liangjie said angrily: "What are you refitting? You have to work when you move here, how can you have time to remodel? When I was in NetEase, the office environment was worse than this, and I didn't even have an office. Didn't I survive? NetEase didn't Become a giant?"

Zhou Buqi made a gesture of pressing down, and said with a smile: "It's not that the environment here is bad, but the environment in our headquarters is too good. If you look at Jinshan, Dangdang, Jingdong, and Douban, they are all similar. Even Sohu is not so good. Where are you going?"

Ji Zian sighed, "I'm afraid that everyone will have opinions and don't want to move."

Zhou Buqi said indifferently: "There is no way to do this. If anyone has an opinion, it is just right to open up the position and let people from 360 take over. Don't think they are defeated, but their ability to make products, It will only be stronger than those people under your command. From 3721 to Yahoo China to Qihoo 360, they are all product experts.”

Ji Zi'an couldn't bear it, but he could only nod his head, which was his acquiescence.

It is a foregone conclusion that the Weidian business group will move out and move to the office building of the original Qihoo 360. Moreover, the in-depth integration between the original Micropoint team and the 360 ​​team will definitely be full of twists and turns.

It's not as simple as searching for business groups to integrate Phoenix Studio. Phoenix Studio is just a small company with a few people, and it can be flat or round in any way. But 360 is full of bosses here, and if one is not handled carefully, it will cause turmoil in the hearts of the people.

The integration process of the two families will definitely be full of office struggles, and it is inevitable that some people will be fired. But once a large number of people are lost, the acquisition of Qihoo 360 will be considered a failure.

Zhou Buqi knew that Ji Junzi's personality was soft and he was not good at doing such painful things, so he called Meng Houkun over, and said coldly: "You are in charge of personnel management. Whoever wants to do it because they are defeated generals Just provoke, provoke, and punish directly. If you don’t obey, you will be ruthless. Especially that Fu Sheng, he is the vice president of the Weidian business group. He focuses on products and asks everyone to cooperate with me obediently. Defeated, mourning soldiers will win."

Next, I met Fu Sheng and had a good chat.

Then, I met Xu Ming, the technical director of 360.

As soon as they met, Xu Ming apologized first, and said embarrassingly: "Mr. Zhou, I'm really sorry about what happened before."

Zhou Buqi was very surprised, "What's wrong?"

Xu Ming explained that he used to be in charge of the secret technology team, that is, through the background program of 360 products, he interfered and damaged Micropoint's products, and then achieved the purpose of attacking competitors.

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Then your skills are pretty good!"

Xu Ming is not humble at all, "It's okay, anyway, I haven't convinced anyone in terms of technology. It's just that I'm not very good at network security, and I'm not as good at antivirus as Weidian."

"Lao Zhou told you, I have new arrangements for your work."

"I've heard of it, are you doing a search?"

"Yeah, how about it, any ideas?"

Xu Mingdao: "I think the resources of Weidian search are very good, much better than Baidu and Google. The disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the technology is too backward. I heard that Wang Xiaozhou's technical level is good. Many years ago, he was known as a computer genius. How did you do it so badly?"

Zhou Buqi's eyes were a bit complicated, and he felt that this kid was a little crazy.

Xu Ming introduced himself again, saying that he graduated from Harbin Institute of Technology in 2002 and joined the R\u0026D team of 3721 after graduation. He was a technical manager as soon as he joined the job, leading a group of technicians who were older than him to do R\u0026D. Later, he came to Qihoo to start a business with the team. He mainly researched and developed search products.

"Then what do you think of the search direction?"

"I think the future of search will be people first, mainly in four directions, integrated search, mobile search, intelligent search and personalized search."

Zhou Buqi was very interested, "Oh? Tell me?"

Xu Ming was a little surprised, "Mr. Zhou, do you understand technology? Can you understand?"

As soon as these words came out, Meng Houkun next to him didn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

This kind of technology, the brain circuit is really straight!

Fortunately, Zhou Buqi was always despised by technicians in the company, and he was used to it. He coughed lightly and said, "Then let's talk about the direction, not the technical details. I still know a little bit about the general direction."

Xu Ming said "Oh", "Then let me briefly talk about integrated search, which is what Weidian, including Baidu and Google, is doing now. To integrate various databases, only one search box is needed, and it is in the back row. In terms of database indexing, only one database is needed to search all vertical searches, and then integrate various diverse information, such as pictures, news, videos, music, and merchandise, or restaurant information. Through a keyword, Provide diversified search results. This is easy to say, but it is very complicated to implement, including too many technical requirements."

"Can you improve?"

"No, even if it is done, it will definitely not be as good as Google's."

Hearing what he said, Zhou Buqi was in a good mood.

Ambitious!

Dare to compare technology with Google.

"how do you want to do it?"

"I haven't paid much attention to mobile search, and I have never used a mobile phone to surf the Internet. What I want to pay attention to is smart search and personalized search. In this regard, let alone Baidu, even Google is not doing very well. Weidian If we make efforts in this direction, we can form a technical surpassing of Google in this single item!"

"The tone is not small."

"I think this is an opportunity, just like Friends.com, with personalized recommendation ads. Although I haven't seen the data, I believe this model will greatly increase the conversion rate of ads. The recommendation of ads can be personalized and intelligent , Why can’t the presentation of search results be personalized?”

Zhou Buqi's heart moved, and he felt that this direction, let alone now, even before he was reborn, he had never heard of any company that started it.

As Xu Ming said, if it is done, it can really surpass Google in this single item.

As for Baidu, you can ignore it.

Xu Mingdao: "Intelligent search is to provide dynamic search results according to different situations, including basic information such as time, location and language. For example, when searching for tickets, in different places, the station information where the user is located should be given. .This is a set of basic algorithms that intelligently sort search results."

"Well, what about personalization?"

"This is the key point, and it is also the biggest advantage of Micropoint compared to search engines such as Baidu, Google, and Yahoo. Behind Micropoint, it can grasp more user information. Then, based on this information, it will give a closely related search results."

Then, Xu Ming listed several examples in detail.

For example, if a user searches for the keyword "ASUS", and then searches for the keyword "Apple", there will be personalized intelligent analysis. The second "apple" refers not to the fruit, but to the American technology giant, which refers to Apple Computer. Therefore, in the search results, it is necessary to rank the search results of Apple Computer in a higher position.

For example, if it is known in advance that the user has a BMW car, when the user searches for keywords related to "car", the relevant information of BMW can be ranked in the forefront.

Through the analysis of the user's personal information, to give them accurate search results recommendations.

And it just so happens that Ziweixing is a data company, which is the biggest advantage.
