Ballmer is a pure businessman. When discussing business, he discusses matters as they are. When discussing business, he is very strict, many of his words are full of threats, and he is not polite to Zhou Buqi at all.

After talking about business, we became a good friend who has known each other for many years and was extremely enthusiastic.

When I heard about students from Tsinghua University coming to do internships, I immediately agreed. The hourly wage is a little lower than that of Google, which is US$20 here in Silicon Valley and US$18 at the Seattle headquarters.

Even $18 is a sky-high price for Ziweixing.

Ballmer poured Zhou Buqi a glass of whiskey and said cheerfully: "A new strip club has recently opened in the city, and a group of beautiful girls from Eastern Europe have arrived. I will take you there tonight!"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Isn't it convenient?"

Ballmer said: "There is nothing inconvenient. It is not open to the public, customers. The economic situation is not good now, and a group of people from Eastern Europe have come, many of them without formal procedures, and many of them are virgins. No matter what they do,

They didn’t dare call the police.”

Zhou Buqi was startled.

Don't find some underage girls in pursuit of excitement, or engage in some sadistic gameplay, that would be too bad. Originally, he wanted to have sex with Ballmer and go out together at night. Listening to his tone, this

There is no need for this. A group of beautiful girls from Eastern Europe with no identity must be doing something illegal that exceeds the standards.

Capitalist society is so evil!

Reject immediately.

Ballmer also wanted to get close to Zhou Buqi. Business is business and personal friendship is personal. He also admires such a talented young man.

"Then go to the football match tomorrow?"

"Football? I don't know much about it. Basketball is okay."

Now, Yao is still playing in the NBA, and sports fans basically have to watch the game.

Ballmer was a basketball fan. Later, after he resigned from Microsoft, he acquired the Los Angeles Clippers, spent money like crazy, and directly built a bad team into the top team in the league.

It's a pity that the new NBA season hasn't started yet. Ballmer also suggested that they go to a country bar to listen to music in the evening, and Zhou Buqi agreed. He thought to himself, even if it's a light music bar, it should be low-key.

, Remy horses can drink, but Ocean horses cannot be ridden!

Be careful when going out.

Ballmer still wants to cooperate with Zhou Buqi.

Microsoft's online business has not been very good. This year's acquisition of Yahoo failed, which made Ballmer very frustrated. Seeing that companies such as Google and Facebook are getting stronger step by step, Microsoft's online business is gradually shrinking. MSN is not only withdrawing from the mainland market, but also from the global market.

The share is getting smaller and smaller.

Twitter may be an important part of that.

Zhou Buqi also intends to sell his shares in Twitter to Microsoft. Now is not a good time. Anyway, if he doesn’t sell to Microsoft, he can also sell to Google or Facebook.

One of the most popular applications in the Facebook open platform is Twitter. Through this application, two very competitive social networking sites, Twitter and Facebook, can communicate with each other.

Twitter messages can be synchronized to Facebook immediately, and Facebook messages can also be automatically transferred to Twitter.

This is obviously impossible in the country.

Except for Ziweixing, no one is willing to lend their own platform resources to competitors for use. There is only competition, not coopetition.

After having two drinks together in the evening, Ballmer mainly asked about Twitter, saying that if the deal is completed and MSI's business develops in the United States, Microsoft will do its best to help!

Zhou Buqi is more reserved and smiles.

The financial tsunami has broken out, and a serious wave of layoffs is about to break out in Silicon Valley. At this time, Ziweixing comes into the market to provide jobs, and the United States can only welcome it with both hands.

Hang it first!

Wait until you really encounter difficulties later.

Zhou Buqi was making insinuations as to what actions Ballmer would take to deal with the pressure of domestic public opinion, especially the piracy argument.

A very important piece of public opinion is to accuse Microsoft of a conspiracy, saying that Microsoft deliberately condones pirated operating systems and pirated office software in the domestic market, and uses piracy to suppress domestic operating systems and domestic software. I hope netizens, public institutions, enterprises, and universities can understand this.

Reality, return to domestic production.

This is true.

But this is not a conspiracy, it is a conspiracy.

Our government has finally achieved this at a huge cost.

A few years ago, when the domestic operating system was promoted in China, similar methods were used. The result was that Microsoft went head-to-head with Maimang and continuously launched lawsuits against various companies and units that used pirated Windows systems.

Thousands of lawsuits have been initiated every year. Not only domestically, they have also returned to the United States to sue companies listed in the United States, and even went to the WTO to sue, which has caused extremely bad effects.

It later took more than a billion dollars to settle the matter, allowing Microsoft to replace the president of Greater China and change its China strategy.

Now domestic software is doing this again...

I really don't have a long memory.

Well, I guess the relevant leaders have also thought about it. The operating system is too difficult and it is an insurmountable mountain. It is unrealistic to forcefully promote the local operating system with the domestic technological strength. But how simple is the office software? It is nothing more than word and ppt.

, excel spreadsheets, etc., are very simple small software, it should not be difficult to replace them with domestic ones!

This is a typical example of lay leaders being deceived by expert experts.

Generally speaking, the more complex a project is, the greater the number of codes. For example, an app may only have 50,000 lines of code; Google Chrome has 7 million lines of code; Android system has 12 million lines of code; Windows XP system,

There are 40 million lines of code.

Microsoft office has a total of 45 million lines of code!

The most fundamental reason is stability, fluency, and a series of ecological services behind the software.

It is very simple to make a piece of software, but this is office software. It is intended for many companies and universities and will undertake many important businesses, such as financial statements, document analysis, etc.

Once the product is unstable, it may cause huge losses.

Ordinary office software will take a long time to respond when encountering slightly larger documents, which will affect efficiency. More importantly, it supports hundreds of languages ​​​​around the world.

In China, Microsoft Office can easily open a document written in German, Arabic, and Algerian, and then you can start working.

Ordinary office software cannot recognize so many complex languages ​​and characters, and when opened, it will be garbled, making it impossible to carry out international business. Enterprises and institutions that are truly capable of purchasing genuine office software often need to be in line with international standards.

At this point, even WPS, which has been working hard for more than ten years, cannot do it. Let alone those domestic offices that have only been in business for a few years and were designed by a group of third-rate programmers recruited by the government.

In Zhou Buqi's view, WPS can be promoted in some small and medium-sized enterprises with low internationalization level, second-tier universities, and government agencies below third-tier cities. This group often does not need to purchase genuine copies and can just download them from the Internet.

Cracked versions are rarely pursued.

In core areas, Microsoft office is still indispensable. This is the main group that has the financial strength to complete genuine purchases. This will inevitably lead to the current situation that the main purchasing target of domestic office software is Microsoft.

Even wps can't compete.

Not to mention those emerging domestic offices that are not popular?

Well, some people may think that Kingsoft is a private enterprise with limited capabilities and lack of courage. If it wants to compete with giants like Microsoft, it still has to rely on the national team.

This matter actually has little to do with Zhou Buqi.

The usage rate of Ziweixing's internal office series products is relatively low. They mainly use the self-developed "Dick" for office work. This office efficiency is much better than that of office!

This is the next generation of office software!

If you can't compete with Microsoft on the same track, then switch to another track.

"Tick", an enterprise-level office software that integrates chat, meeting records, documents, video conferencing, ERP systems and many other functions, will be the mainstream of digital office in the future.

However, Zhou Buqi always feels that he should do something. No matter what, Microsoft is an outsider. He can't just watch Microsoft deliberately attack the country and let his country suffer a big loss like it did a few years ago.

It's a pity that Ballmer is not Bill Gates.

This man is a cold-blooded animal.

Talk to him about women, and he will happily push the blonde girl in his arms into your arms. Talk to him about business and friendship... Sorry, no friendship!

At around 1 a.m., Zhou Buqi returned to the hotel and was in a bad mood.

Feng Muer was dozing off on the sofa, and she suddenly became excited and said with a smile: "Boss, we have good news."

"Oh? What?"

"The news from New York says that our funds will be received by next Monday at the latest!"

"So soon?" A smile appeared on Zhou Buqi's face, "Well, it is indeed good news!"

Feng Muer said: "That big-nosed guy said that if you want to go to the UK to buy a club, he can help. With the current economic crisis, what investment banks need most are big clients. You can find Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to work together. He also said that you'd better set up a

Family companies, in the name of the company, can save taxes. Now the whole world is promoting tax reduction bills for businesses."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, you have to find professionals to do this kind of thing. Eh? Where is Sun Wanran?"

"She's a little tired. She needs to rest first."

"Well, get ready and go to Los Angeles tomorrow."

"Ah?" Feng Muer was slightly startled, "Tomorrow... no, it's today. It's already early in the morning. Aren't you going to Google?"

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and said, "Let's wait and see! This kind of big company is still tough and confident. The impact of the financial tsunami is slower to hit, and it has to wait for time to ferment. Compared with giants like Microsoft and Google,

, or Hollywood is more vulnerable. It’s better to go to Hollywood to harvest it first.”

hey-hey!

Whether it's Disney, Warner Bros., NBC Universal, MGM, Paramount, Sony Pictures... half of their lives will be lost!

The risk of making a movie is too high, so foreign capital must be brought in to share the risk; the investment in making a movie is too high, and Hollywood movie companies simply cannot generate that much cash flow, so they can only borrow money from banks.

In other words, today's Hollywood giants are facing debt pressure, and at the same time they have to bear the painful consequences of the withdrawal of investment from platter capital...
Chapter completed!
