Modifying helo is a big plan that needs long-term promotion. Especially after entering the mobile Internet era, it may become a super app that can focus on all Internet services.

In the short term, Ziweixing will do two things.

First, find suitable experimental samples and give them to developers and entrepreneurs.

Second, establish the concept of paid services.

From a larger perspective, the domestic market can even be used as a test field to promote the Helo strategy and accumulate experience.

After you finish it, go and conquer the world!

Just like the relationship between Douyin and tiktok.

First do Douyin in China, and after accumulating enough experience and product design concepts, go abroad to compete with international giants.

The domestic Internet market is very barbaric. There are three BAT giants, and they often resort to unscrupulous means to compete, such as blocking, blocking, "choosing one of the two" and other vicious competition behaviors.

Douyin can thrive in this environment, even doing better than bat.

After going abroad, you can't use blocking or "choose one" and other coercive methods in the international market. When you compete with Silicon Valley giants such as Google, Facebook, and Microsoft, you will feel as light as a duck, like a fish in water.

.

However, this cannot be rushed.

We will try to finalize the YY version of helo within half a year.

On the weekend, Zhou Buqi took a flight south, and Shi Jinglin and Xue Baoshan also followed, mainly to visit their precious daughter Nian Nian. The little girl finally started babbling and could say "mom" and "aunt".

Words like "grandma". Unfortunately, she can't call her daddy. This makes Zhou Buqi feel ashamed and he plans to spend more time with his daughter.

In addition, it is necessary to determine the choice of Ziweixing International Building, the headquarters of the Magic City Branch.

Zhou Buqi accepted Lao Zhang's suggestion, gave up his plan to build a building, and looked for a ready-made, top-grade office building that had just been built. He bought a few floors and found connections to name it.

For example, the Sohu Building where the Ziweixing headquarters is now located was originally called Weixin International Building. Later, Sohu took a fancy to it. Whether it is the city, Zhongguancun or Tsinghua University, they are actively operating. I hope Hong Kong businessmen can cooperate and change the name.

For Sohu Building.

Sohu’s brand is so strong.

Sohu Building stands in the Tsinghua Science and Technology Park, which is a kind of aura that complements each other. If it were called Weixin International Building, its influence would obviously not be as great as Sohu Building.

Including the Alipay Building in Shanghai, this model is also followed.

Two days ago, Zhou Buqi had sent Vice President Guo Dan to Shanghai to talk to the local city leaders.

As expected, all parties welcome it and are actively promoting it.

Then, we ran to Lujiazui, the most prosperous and central area of ​​the city.

If Ziweixing wants to become an international technology enterprise, it must build an international building. It cannot be too remote. The location must be in the center of the center, prominent and eye-catching.

Then, we really found the right building that had just been completed!

Although it was Sunday, the leaders had no holidays and sent a very high-level escort team to accompany Zhou Buqi and his party on an on-the-spot investigation, right by the river.

The famous luxury residential area Tomson Yipin is not far away.

After that, Zhou Buqi could not speak for a long time.

He is very familiar with this building!

It can be called one of the landmark buildings in Lujiazui. It was first called Hopson International Building, but later, under the operation of various parties, it was renamed Mirae Asset Building.

The accompanying Secretary-General Zheng simply introduced: "The planned name of this building is Hopson International Building. To the north is the Shangri-La Hotel, to the south is the Citibank Building. To the west is the Aurora Building, and to the east is the Financial Development Zone. This building please

It was constructed by an American design team. Construction started in 2004 and was just completed last week."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "It was only completed last week?"

"Yes, it might be a coincidence."

"It is indeed fate."

Zhou Buqi nodded and looked up at the tall building, feeling very satisfied.

A building of this size is no longer just a Class A office building. As a landmark building, it needs to have specific meaning and connotation, as well as artistic design.

The building has a total of 33 floors, with an average area of ​​1,800 square meters per floor. The single-floor area is 1,000 square meters smaller than the Sohu Building.

Since it is named Ziweixing International Building, it is equivalent to a business card. Since it is a business card, it cannot be too shabby. It must show the strength of Ziweixing in many aspects such as style and decoration.

You can't just put up a concrete floor, scrape the surface, and then put on your desk and start working like many Internet companies do.

This is an international financial center, and there are too many foreigners and leaders coming to visit, inspect, study, and conduct research.

This is not only the image of Ziweixing, but also represents the image of the city and the country to a large extent.

Zhou Buqi made a brief calculation and felt that the office area should not be too crowded, but should be relaxed enough, spacious enough and upscale. "Secretary-General, how many have been pre-sold in the building?"

"More than half, most of them are foreign companies. The city is regulating it, otherwise it is likely to be robbed by foreign companies."

"Yes, the top domestic office buildings are still in short supply, and foreign companies have the strongest economic strength. Over in the capital, office buildings in better locations cannot be rented first-hand, and they have to change hands several times before they can be rented."

Secretary-General Zheng smiled and said: "This building is a semi-state-owned and semi-private enterprise, and the city has been paying close attention to it. There are too many foreigners here, and the management order must be standardized."

Zhou Buqi deeply agreed and said: "Well, this must be guaranteed. The success of the Olympic Games has simply restored the grand occasion of thousands of dynasties coming to congratulate during the Tang Dynasty. We cannot let foreigners see it because of such omissions in property management.

It’s a joke.”

Secretary-General Zheng assured: "You can rest assured that the design team, construction team and future property team here will operate with the highest level of team combination in accordance with the international management model. This building will be a dazzling pearl, with

The century-old buildings on the Bund shine together."

Zhou Buqi nodded, stopped and watched for a long time, then turned around and asked, "Guo Dan, what do you think?"

Guo Dan said with a smile: "I think it's very appropriate. This is the riverside. We can get a bird's-eye view of the entire Bund river view from the top floor."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "Then it's settled!"

…

The plan is finalized, but Zhou Qi will not be involved in the specific details.

The total investment in this building is 1.8 billion yuan, with an average of 60 million yuan per floor. Ziweixing bought 5 of the floors, plus the naming rights of the building... It is estimated that 400 million to 500 million can be obtained.

Guo Dan went to handle the specific operations, while Zhou Buqi was called over by Shi Yuzhu.

Amazing good news came from the United States!

Financial markets are going to collapse!

Entering August, the U.S. financial market took a turn for the worse. The five major investment banks were all going to die. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley changed the nature of investment banks to bank holding companies, while Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch were already hanging on by a thread!

U.S. stocks have begun to plummet.

The long and short war has begun.

The bulls believe that the federal government and the Federal Reserve will introduce strong measures to rescue the market and save the order of the financial market. The bears believe that with the level of the federal government and the Federal Reserve, they cannot cope with the current financial situation that is close to collapse.

This year, Bear Stearns, one of the five major investment banks in the United States, has collapsed.

It looks like Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch can't stand it either.

Zhou Buqi is naturally paying close attention to the situation in the United States.

His personal account has grown from US$330 million to US$970 million, a 120% increase since August. In Ziweixing's account, US$1.2 billion has also become US$2.6 billion, an increase of more than

100%.

Shi Yuzhu also participated in this operation. Although he was excited and excited, he was also frightened. "That's almost it. Why don't we withdraw?"

Zhou Buqi glanced at him, "Withdraw? How to withdraw? The investment agreement stipulates a three-month closed operation. Do I have to breach the contract?"

Shi Yuzhu's eyes lit up, "Even if it's a breach of contract, you can still make 80%."

"The bold ones will be starved to death, and the timid ones will be starved to death. How much did you invest? US$150 million? Ziweixing invested US$1.2 billion. Just wait! Don't be in a hurry!"

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and gave him no room to bargain.

This investment operation was initiated by him, and he is the president.

Shi Yuzhu asked: "Do you think the financial market will collapse?"

Zhou Buqi said: "The fund trader we are looking for is a hungry wolf on Wall Street, and he has invested all his wealth in it. Whether it collapses or not, as long as he doesn't withdraw, we can wait."

Seeing that he insisted, Shi Yuzhu didn't say much. He just thought that this guy was really a man who did big things. He invested 1.2 billion US dollars... and now it has doubled, and he can still be so calm. It's really amazing.

"By the way, someone has brought a relationship with me and wants to see you."

"Who is it, your old subordinate again?"

"It's not this time, it's 51."

"ah?"

Zhou Buqi was quite surprised.

Shi Yuzhu sighed, "I had already agreed to invest in 51, but then I turned them down after listening to your suggestions. I couldn't get over it. 51's current cash flow is very tight, and it has not been able to start a new business for a long time.

round of financing.”

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, "Why are you looking for me?"
