Top of the big era

The time for this business trip was only 4 days, and the schedule was so tight that Zhou Buqi didn't have time to go to a custom place to criticize the local culture severely.

Airport.

Zhou Buqi spoke earnestly to Tang Binchen, "This is your only chance, you have to do well. Over there in China, have you paid attention to Liang Rubo's situation?"

Tang Binchen nodded, "I've heard a little bit about it. It is said that after the revision of Friends.com, it has reached a new level."

Zhou Buqi said: "He not only created the interest circle that you didn't start, but also created the secret circle. Before coming, Zhang Yiming went to my office to talk about this matter, which is called showing off."

Tang Binchen was embarrassed.

I also feel that the burden on my shoulders is heavy. This is not about me anymore, it is also about Boss Zhou.

In the personnel arrangement of Friends.com, the big boss was deflated, and his direct descendants were exiled. The second boss put his direct descendant on top, and achieved great success.

This will definitely make the big boss look bad.

Once this kind of thing happens more, the prestige will be reduced.

If the Japanese business fails to start smoothly, Tang Binchen's resignation is certain, and it will also weaken Boss Zhou's right to speak in future personnel arrangements.

Unless Boss Zhou insists on forcing the decision, others may feel dissatisfied and complain. This should not be the practice of a healthy organizational system.

Zhou Buqi patted him on the shoulder, "Don't put too much pressure on me, I will fully support you. Let me tell you the truth, after the B round of financing, I will leave 500 million US dollars for you to develop Japanese business."

Tang Binchen felt a "thump" in his heart, and the pressure suddenly hit.

Zhou Buqi said: "If it is suitable, sign the contract with Yahoo Japan as soon as possible. The annual platform fee of 120 million US dollars, although expensive, but as long as YikYak can run smoothly, everything is worth it."

There are two main social networking sites in Japan, one is Ameba, which is a blog type, and the other is Mixi, which is an SNS type. The former has 15 million users, and the latter has about 13 million users.

In other words, one fifth of the Internet users in the country are users of these two websites.

However, the valuation of these two websites has reached billions of dollars.

Especially Mixi, this website has been profitable since its establishment. Because I don’t have money, I can’t advertise outside; because I don’t have strong engineers, the website design structure is very simple, and the operating cost and maintenance expenses are very low; because I don’t have enough technology, I can’t even add advertisements... I can only rely on its promotional channels , making money by selling products such as books or CDs.

As a result, this website is going to be listed soon, and at least it will have a market value of two to three billion U.S. dollars.

The volume is equivalent to the sum of Sohu and Sina.

However, how can this small broken website compare with Sohu and Sina? The very important reason is that Japanese users have high spending power and high single value.

It is very exciting to be able to make a profit for three consecutive years by selling books and CDs. Once the technology is improved, the structure of the website is optimized, and more advertisements and derivative services are added... there will be a lot of room for making money in the future.

Zhou Buqi said: "In China, we will investigate for another month. If the results of Youyou.com are still outstanding this month, then Liang Rubo will mention M6, which cannot be stopped. Work harder on your side, don't fall behind Too many. Let me tell you something, as long as YikYak has more than 10 million users, you can also mention M6.”

After all, it is a direct descendant, Zhou Buqi said a lot of things that should not be said.

Tang Binchen was very moved and took a deep breath, "I know! If you don't succeed, you will succeed!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Zhou Buqi scolded with a laugh.

...

After returning home, I heard good news first.

The investigation team jointly formed by the five ministries and commissions has completed the investigation and everything is normal. It was just a formality, and there were less than 100 conversations in the past two weeks. The euphemism was that they didn't want to affect Ziweixing's daily work.

Tomorrow morning, the news will be officially announced.

As soon as Zhou Buqi sent the leaders away and went back to the office to drink a glass of water, Meng Houkun ran over with a proud and proud expression, "It's done!"

"Um?"

"It's the decisive battle between Helo and QQ! Ji Zian can't do it, he can't handle it. After I took over, it was easily resolved. The big boss of Penguin has come to sue for peace."

Zhou Buqi's eyes lit up, "So soon? When did it happen?"

Meng Houkun snorted, "Just today! But I didn't agree, and I left them alone! It seems that I ran upstairs and asked Zhang Chaoyang to help me make peace. Then you stand up for me."

Zhou Buqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What should I do?"

Meng Houkun said: "I've already said that Ziweixing will completely break with Penguin! We have Weidian Security Guard and Weidian Antivirus, and we have to block their websites and treat them as Trojan horses. We also have to choose one of the two incompatible with QQ. It is also necessary to arrange tasks through the gold coin wallet system, calling on users to uninstall QQ and related products..."

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "Nonsense."

Meng Houkun smiled, "It's nonsense, but people believe it. We are honest and responsible people, and we can't do something that violates business ethics. But people judge others by themselves, so I really think we will retaliate."

Zhou Buqi asked: "What are you going to do?"

Meng Houkun leaned back on the sofa and raised his legs, "I have five major demands! First, extend the contract between Soso and Weidian for two years. Well, you may not know it when you go abroad, but they almost broke the contract. I called Wang Xiaochuan. Later, I didn’t know why, and I regretted it. I have to extend the contract so that they can remember it long.”

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "It's all trivial."

Meng Houkun said: "Don't worry, you have to proceed step by step. The second requirement is that Penguin.com has a reading channel. We will acquire Shanda Literature right away. I remember you said that if you want to start this business, the main thing is to It’s traffic. Penguin has a lot of traffic, and there are QQ mini pop-up windows, so you might as well take advantage of it. Add all the content of Shanda Literature to their reading channel.”

"This one is also simple."

"Third, delete social games such as "QQ Parking Space" and "QQ Farm" immediately."

"I'll go!" Zhou Buqi shook his head, "This is unlikely."

Meng Houkun said: "You have to try. The fourth point, in view of the past month, they used the computer housekeeper to carry out some unfriendly vicious competition, we ask them to cut this business immediately. And promise not to use it within five years. Going into the security software market again. Well, to sign the contract, the liquidated damages are $1 billion."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "This idea can exist."

Meng Houkun snorted: "It must be there. I have investigated everything. After their peace negotiation team came to Beijing, the first stop was not us, but Jinshan. It seems that they are unwilling to give up, and they want to join forces with Jinshan drug tyrants. Must We must block this back road, so as to avoid vicious competition in the future.”

"What about the fifth?"

"Open QQ friendship."

"What?"

Zhou Buqi thought he had heard wrong.

Meng Houkun plausibly said, "QQ can open friendship to Fetion, why can't it also open to Helo? Of course, the cooperation is for both parties, and Helo can also open to QQ."

Zhou Buqi said: "You are crazy!"

Meng Houkun chuckled, "Negotiations, you have to leave enough room for maneuver."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Yaxian, let He Yang come over to discuss the peace with Penguin."

...

As it was approaching the end of get off work, Lao Zhang really came to call and invite.

It is said that there is a small gathering, in the old place, everyone will go to sing and dance together for two hours to relax.

"I don't have time to watch you dance!"

"There are a lot of people there!"

"Yeah?"

Zhang Chaoyang said: "Baidu, Sina, Dangdang, China.com, Jinshan, UF... All the heads and brains in the Beijing circle are present, so it's inappropriate if you don't come."

Zhou Buqi feigned surprise, "Putting on such a big scene?"

Zhang Chaoyang snorted coldly, "You'll save face! It's fine, I've already told him that you must be present."

Zhou Buqi said helplessly: "Old Zhang, it's not like you don't know that in the past month, they have been stumbling me behind my back. If it wasn't for my fate, Helo might have died when he was born."

Zhang Chaoyang said: "Okay, peace makes money. Now that he came to the door on his own initiative, and entrusted so many connections, you have already won. It's almost enough, and it's not good to get stuck."

Lao Zhang must be one of his own, and Zhou Buqi didn't shy away from him, "I have to make a decision, right? If I don't make a decision, how do I get the most favorable terms when negotiating?"

Zhang Chaoyang said angrily: "Are you stupid? This is the capital, and the people who come here are all from the capital circle. How can an outsider take advantage of it? You just come, and the game I set up can still make you suffer?"

Zhou Buqi sighed, "That's fine."

Zhang Chaoyang reminded again: "It's okay to raise conditions, but don't go too far. If you go too far, others can't help you if they want to talk to you. You can't bully people by relying on numbers, right? You can still convince people. Every one of you Behind the conditions, there must be sufficient reasons. When the time comes, it will be easy for everyone to help you speak."

Zhou Buqi said: "I didn't plan to finish the negotiation at once. Humph, this is a big show, just watch it! It's exciting!"

Zhang Chaoyang knew this little monkey spirit, "Anyway, keep it tight, don't overdo it. If you are too sharp, it's easy to scare people. If you scare others, maybe the direction of the wind will change."

"Ok, I know."

Zhou Buqi had already considered this point.

In the past few years, the industry peers have criticized Penguin, mainly because they rely on the strong flow of QQ, and their style is very domineering, which makes people change their colors.

Now, Ziwei Star has suddenly emerged.

It even surpassed Penguin and became the largest traffic center in China.

If Ziweixing does not keep a low profile, and displays a fierce, domineering and unreasonable style to the outside world, and wants to rely on its own strong traffic to bully and intimidate its peers, it will become a new dragon and a new target of crusade.

This time the peace talks between the two sides, with so many colleagues coming, it is estimated that they also came to watch closely.

Take a look at what this newly emerging giant is like.

Ziweixing must show a gentle, friendly, humble and low-key side.

But this is another contradiction.

Two of Meng Houkun's five demands are too much!
