Top of the big era

On the second day after returning to Beijing, Zhou Buqi received a call from Zhang Chaoyang. He said that he would set up a table at the Capital Hotel, invite colleagues from the Internet, have a meal, and get together.

This buddy has no desires or desires, and his daily life is much more chic than Zhou Buqi, and he is definitely a happy life.

All kinds of activities in the circle are organized by this idler.

Zhou Buqi participated.

Most of the counterparts from the capital came, including Er Li from Dangdang and Baidu, as well as CEOs from companies such as Sina, Yingcai, and Ctrip, as well as business leaders from foreign companies such as Microsoft and IBM.

Eat, drink, talk about industry trends.

The stock market crash is coming!

The Dow Jones index fell sharply.

Nasdaq also collapsed.

Not to mention A-shares, they have already plummeted.

The economic crisis is coming!

There is no way to save the city.

Last year, the world's major central banks were bailing out the market, and they were frantically putting watermarks on banknotes, creating a wave of man-made bull markets around the world.

Now, the bubble is bursting, it's about to crash!

Will it be like the turn of the century? Are IT companies collectively finished?

Very worried!

Heavy news has come from the United States. Microsoft's acquisition of Yahoo, which has been rumored for many years, is finally coming true! The gossip has already flowed out. In the next few days, Microsoft will officially make an offer to Yahoo and complete the merger.

Yahoo's market capitalization has fallen to about 30 billion US dollars, but it is still the top three Internet giants in the world. If even Yahoo can't support it, what should these domestic Internet companies do?

The quasi-first-tier and second-tier companies, including Dangdang, have expressed that they will tighten their expenditures, cover their pockets, and tide over the difficulties.

Once the economic crisis really breaks out, a large number of Internet companies will die, which is certain. At this time, cash is king.

Whoever has more cash in his account will be more tenacious and competitive.

In this regard, Dangdang has been doing well.

The Baidu family has a big business and ample cash flow, so they are naturally not afraid. Mr. Li said with a smile: "Risk means opportunity. Whoever can grasp it will be able to rush forward."

Zhang Chaoyang immediately answered, "So you want to make chat software?"

Li Yanhong said: "I wanted to do it last year, but I was deceived."

"Um?"

Colleagues who didn't know the inside story all opened their eyes wide and were very curious.

Can you fool Mr. Li?

This level is not ordinary!

Is it the one from Ali? Well, very likely. The relationship between the two brothers has never been good.

Zhou Buqi couldn't just sit back and watch his reputation be damaged, coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "Robin, I don't like hearing your words anymore. I advised you not to be a chat software last year, and it was entirely out of good intentions."

"Well……"

In the box, everyone was stunned.

Wide-eyed and small-eyed.

what's the situation?

Xiao Zhou tricked Lao Li? Big news!

Ha ha!

interesting!

Li Yanhong was indignant, and said displeasedly: "Baidu has been soliciting the names of chat software from netizens last year. You didn't let Baidu do it out of good intentions. I believe it. But you turned around and launched Helo. What do you mean?"

Zhou Buqi said indifferently: "Because Ziweixing is a social-focused company, it is a matter of course to make chat software, with low risk and high success rate. Facts have also proved that Helo has indeed done a good job."

Li Yanhong shook her head and didn't think so, "The success of Helo stems from the strong traffic of Ziwei Star. It just so happens that Baidu does not lack traffic. If Baidu wants to..."

Zhou Buqi interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Lao Li, you're just wishful thinking."

Li Yanhong said: "Don't talk about this! Just because you did a good job in the social field, I believed your suggestion and didn't make a chat software last year. The result? Baidu missed the opportunity, but Ziweixing made its own Helo gone."

Zhou Buqi was not very happy, "Boss Li, you are boring, you lack an objective position, and you take it for granted."

Li Yanhong said in a deep voice, "I'm very objective!"

What everyone heard was elated.

The people in this line of work are basically men of science and engineering, each more flamboyant than the other, very serious on the surface, but full of smiles in their hearts. It's great that the most successful Internet entrepreneurs in the two circles are pinching each other.

When the snipe and the clam compete, the fisherman benefits!

Especially right now when the economic crisis hits.

If Ziweixing and Baidu work together, maybe they can give them more breathing room for second-tier companies.

do it!

The more intense the better!

Heroes come out of troubled times. The current Internet structure is too rigid. It is best to completely overthrow this situation and do it all over again, so that new heroes will appear.

Zhou Buqi gave Li Yanhong a strange look.

I feel that something is wrong with him today.

This is not like his style, why is it like taking gunpowder? This buddy is very elegant and gentlemanly.

A move in my heart.

Something came to mind right away.

Poaching event!

At the beginning, Baidu dug up a group of core backbones from group buying on campus, which made Zhou Buqi very unhappy and did it once. Baidu gave up a lot of benefits and helped to promote Toutiao for the traffic, so this matter was settled.

This time, Baidu poached people from the gold coin wallet system again, and took away Li Xiaoyu, the deputy director.

Boss Li is planning for a rainy day. He is afraid that Zhou Buqi will get angry about this matter and start a war against Baidu, so he has to take the first step and stand on the moral high ground.

You especially picked an opportunity where so many colleagues in the industry were present, and brought this matter up, which is to use your reputation to complete moral kidnapping.

Zhou Buqi couldn't help being a little funny, thinking that he really underestimated himself and overestimated himself. You can't make a chat software, Baidu Hi is useless, you still don't believe it!

However, Zhou Buqi is good at kidnapping others with morality, but he doesn't like being kidnapped by others' morality, so he must quickly regain the moral high ground.

"Mr. Li, what you said is full of loopholes." Zhou Buqi leaned back and hugged his shoulders, "I heard that your Baidu Hi will be launched at the end of next month?"

Li Yanhong admitted, "Yes."

Zhou Buqi curled his lips, "Then there is a problem. With Baidu's strength, it is just a chat software, and it can be made in less than a month. It just so happens that you just poached the Helo business from me a few days ago." A vice president. This is enough to show that your Baidu Hi R\u0026D team has just been established and has just begun to operate."

Li Yanhong's face was flat, "This doesn't mean anything."

Zhou Buqi said coldly: "It doesn't represent what? Helo was launched on November 1st last year. If I really lied to you, you should have felt cheated when Helo was launched, and you should be very angry. The chat software plan should be restarted immediately, and it should be launched in December. But the result? The Baidu Hi team has just been formed."

This is a contradiction.

All the people here are smart people, and they all understand what Boss Zhou meant. It seems that this matter may really be caused by Baidu's messing around.

Li Yanhong is not an orator, not very good at words, and his expression is not natural, "Our energy has been on other business last year, and I went back and forth to Japan several times. Now I just found some free time."

Zhou Buqi didn't seem to hear it, and said to himself: "Last month, Helo and QQ made a big fuss, and everyone has seen it. After many efforts, we finally broke the monopoly of this market. We This is successful, and the Baidu Hi project is launched. Mr. Li, are you using Helo as a pawn? Now that the pawn has entered a grid, you will start to be active?"

This sarcasm was a bit too much, so Zhang Chaoyang stood up to smooth things over, and said with a smile: "It seems to be a misunderstanding, so it's okay to let it go. Come, everyone, drink! Drink!"

In business, such a trivial matter is nothing!

Don't say it might be fake, even if it is true, no one can say anything, this is the most normal thing.

It's just that Zhou Buqi is a master who doesn't suffer.

No moral ground is given up.

Li Yanhong was a little embarrassed. Of course, what he did just now was deliberately designed, just to grab the moral high ground, and under the watchful eyes of so many colleagues, he hoped that Zhou Buqi would restrain himself.

two things.

One, don't retaliate against Baidu for poaching people.

Second, don't let Ziweixing's traffic block Baidu Hi.

Unexpectedly, it was easily resolved by this kid.

Not just defuse.

Zhou Buqi wanted to occupy Li Yanhong's moral high ground, and said flatly: "Whether this matter is a misunderstanding or not, we are all colleagues, and the past has just passed. I still say that, Baidu is a chat software, there is no chance. No chance last year, no chance this year, and no chance in the future. I mean it with good intentions. Mr. Li, are you really going to do it?"

Li Yanhong was not natural, but she was firm, "Do it."

Zhou Buqi said: "When Helo was launched, it was suppressed by QQ both openly and secretly. If I hadn't been fully prepared, Helo might have died. I am different. I don't like to eat alone. I hope to help my peers to make progress together. The foreign strategy is like this, and the domestic strategy is also like this. This statement is effective for Dangdang, Ctrip, Sohu, and Sina, and it is also effective for Baidu."

"real?"

Li Yanhong's eyes lit up, a little excited.

This is what concerns him most.

The launch of Baidu Hi is bound to be suppressed by QQ, which is a past practice. It would be too bad if Helo went from a dragon slayer to a dragon.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Buqi's tone... didn't seem to imply vicious competition.

Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile: "That must be true, Xiao Zhou's pattern must not be underestimated."

Zhou Buqi said indifferently: "Baidu Hi, if you want to promote and use Ziweixing's resources to promote, we will accept all of them. According to the market price, you will be as much as you want, and you will not be blocked or given to you just because you are a competitor. Ask high prices. Ziweixing’s business philosophy is fair competition and peaceful development.”

"Good! Well said!"

Li Guoqing was wearing black-rimmed glasses, smiling and clapping his hands, looking flamboyant.

Li Yanhong took a deep breath, feeling that he really underestimated this guy, immediately stood up, raised his glass, "I misunderstood this matter. I take back what I just said! None of you are allowed to spread it, our boss Zhou Big picture, big heart, and the demeanor of a big entrepreneur. I drank this glass of wine, and I will treat it as an apology for what I said just now."

Zhou Buqi cared about the moral high ground, but Li Yanhong didn't care.

Businessmen don't care.

There are interests, and it is enough to make money.

Everything else is too empty.

Seeing his statement, Li Yanhong was overjoyed, and immediately gave up the commanding heights, bowing her head and giving in. Face is not important, that is, they Northeast people care.

Zhou Buqi was very satisfied, got up and had a drink with him, and said with a smile: "Not only Baidu, but all colleagues are the same. Ziweixing's resources are open to everyone!"

This game is over.

Boss Zhou showed his best demeanor.

In the second scene, there was heavy snow in the south.

To donate ah.

What kind of arrangement?

This donation cannot be given indiscriminately.

Donate too much, set off too little colleagues, offend colleagues. If the donation is too small, the reputation will not be justified.

The snow disaster was very serious and spread to many provinces, causing hundreds of billions of economic losses. All walks of life are organizing donations. On the other side of the entertainment circle, a unified deployment was also made.

Top-tier 100,000, first-tier 50,000, and second-tier 20,000.

Everyone should give corresponding donations according to their level. It is better to donate less than to donate more. Donating too much is basically equivalent to withdrawing from the circle. Yang Mi, Jiang Xing, Deng Jiajia, Xu Wenxuan and others under Jieyu Media all donated 20,000 yuan, and neither Jiang Bingjie nor Li Xinwan had to pay.

The corporate world is much the same.

These days, it is still dominated by central enterprises and state-owned enterprises, so don't overshadow others.

After discussion, an amount was set, 1 million yuan.

Zhou Buqi was a little speechless, feeling too little.

But people also have reason.

Last year, the domestic auto industry exploded, selling 8 million cars, and the entire auto industry earned 100 billion. It has become the hot auto market with the second largest output and the third largest sales in the world.

Billions of dollars were spent on advertising on the Internet last year.

But for this donation, the car companies collectively disappeared, and only BMW, Brilliance, Volkswagen, and Kia contributed money, all of which were around 1 million.

That's how the environment is.

Don't be a prick.

The economic crisis has already struck, and a harsher winter is coming. It is most important to keep your wallets covered and survive.

After returning home at night, Zhou Buqi called his father and told him that the donation scale of Yuanwei Group should be reduced, and a donation of 1 million would be enough.

The previous preparation was to donate 10 million.

One zero is missing, Dad is very happy.

...

The Spring Festival is coming soon, and there are no new projects to be launched, and important things are postponed until after the Spring Festival.

It's easier to not have a weapon every week.

I went to the company the next day and heard that Sun Guanran had gone to work, so I didn't summon her, but sent a text message to Teacher Han Yan: "Mr. Han, are you there?"

Soon, Han Yan wrote back: "It's convenient."

This is also a code.

After all, this is not something glorious, every time after sending a text message, Han Yan has to clear the mailbox.

Zhou Buqi sent text messages very quickly: "How is your body? Have you recovered?"

Han Yan: "Well, the swelling has subsided, and the pain is gone. I went shopping with my friends at noon and wore new shoes and clothes. Thank you, I spent too much."

Zhou Buqi: "You deserve it."

Han Yan: "Thank you too."

Zhou Buqi: "Mr. Han, do you want to maintain a long-term relationship with me?"

Han Yan: "Aren't you in the capital? How do you keep it?"

Zhou Buqi: "You came to the capital, or I took time to go back. Opportunities are created. Do you want to keep it for a long time?"

There was a pause of two minutes.

The text message was long overdue.

"A little scared."

"The first date is so exciting, I will pay attention to it in the future, don't worry. How? Think?"

Han Yan's text message responded quickly this time, and she seemed to have thought it through: "I really want to, how about you?"

Zhou Buqi: "Me too."
