Zhou Buqi and Lao Ma chatted until past three in the morning.

Mainly it is the development of the technology industry under the economic crisis.

Recently, there has been a lot of mourning in Silicon Valley.

It’s not the domestic media that is pessimistic. It’s American experts, scholars and financial magazines who are expressing their concerns. They believe that the development of Silicon Valley has encountered a huge crisis.

Mainly manifested at three levels.

First, innovation has declined.

Affected by the economic crisis, venture capital institutions are no longer willing to provide high-risk investment to Silicon Valley startups. Even if they invest, they tend to prefer web 2.0 and other types of companies that require relatively small funds and have a relatively low risk coefficient. But this type of investment

The company does not have many new technological breakthroughs, and it is difficult for them to make a significant contribution to the improvement of labor productivity.

Some business operators in Silicon Valley today are short-sighted and have no ambition. Some people put together something without capital or technology, and then go to attract attention and sell advertising. The ultimate goal is to sell it at a good price, not

Think about building a truly valuable enterprise through long-term efforts.

Second, the unemployment rate is serious.

The unemployment rate in the United States has exceeded 6%, while the unemployment rate in California has exceeded 11%. California's Silicon Valley has the highest unemployment rate, nearly 12%. Economic recession is inevitable.

Third, age discrimination.

Among them, Facebook’s Zuckerberg is the most obvious. This guy is so young that he loves to tell the truth. He publicly announced last year that “young people are smarter.”

Facebook also has the lowest average age among major companies in Silicon Valley, only 27 years old.

Other companies are similar. Dynamic companies such as Google, LinkedIn, Twitter, eBay, and Blizzard have an average age of less than 30 years old. Apple and Qualcomm are around 30 years old. There are only some old companies that lack creativity.

, such as EMC, Oracle, Yahoo, IBM, HP, Dell and other companies, the average age will be more than 35 years old.

The general quality of Silicon Valley is very high, and there is almost no problem of racial discrimination or gender discrimination. In Silicon Valley, the most discriminatory cases sued are age discrimination, which is more than those two cases combined.

Recently, many similar articles have been published in the United States.

In fact, we hope that the federal government and the California government can introduce various policies to improve the environment of Silicon Valley, provide more subsidies to the computer industry, cultivate more computer talents, reduce tax burdens, and revitalize Silicon Valley.

Zhou Buqi felt very emotional while chatting about this topic.

What the hell!

It feels so familiar!

It is simply a replica of the domestic technology industry in the next few years. The difference is that what China is seeking is industrial upgrading, while Silicon Valley is worried about industrial downgrading.

To achieve this, it is not enough to just rely on the appeal of a few people, but to reach a broader consensus. Given the current domestic technological environment, it is obvious that there is no such awareness yet.

We will have to wait at least another ten years for growth to slow down and the stock to be further tapped before we can spend money on riskier projects. At that time, the inevitable result will be a slowdown in economic growth.

Since his family were all on vacation, Zhou Buqi indulged himself a bit and spent the night at Zhang Yuqi's place. Because she wet the bed, he went to another bedroom halfway through and fell asleep after it was already dark.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhou Buqi went to the company.

"Congratulations!"

As soon as I entered the office, I saw Ning Yaxian winking.

"What's wrong?"

"Look!"

Ning Yaxian took out a magazine, which was the Hurun Rich List.

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "How many people have expressed their happiness to me, the richest man? By the way, when is the speech at Tsinghua University?"

"the day after tomorrow."

"Headache."

"I have written the manuscript for you, would you like to read it?"

"What theme?"

Zhou Buqi walked behind the desk, sat down, and picked up the manuscript.

Ning Yaxian said with a smile: "It's about responsibility and choice. Firstly, it shows your structure, and secondly, it can also inspire those top students from Tsinghua University and let them choose between interests and ideals."

Zhou Buqi lowered his head to read the speech, and suddenly a phone call came.

He is a senior leader named Pang from the propaganda outlet.

It is said that this year marks the 30th anniversary of my country's reform and opening up. The national economy has taken off, and the contributions of a group of reform pioneers are indispensable. The official plan is to commend and select the 30 most important people who have contributed to my country's economic growth since the reform and opening up.

Because of Ziweixing's business, Zhou Buqi was familiar with him, and frowned slightly, "Old Pang, what does this mean?"

Leader Pang looked very apologetic, "Mr. Zhou, this is the intention of the superior leader. I want to ask your opinion. Of course, if you insist on your request, we will definitely join the meeting. Your contribution is also world-renowned..."

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows and said, "Leader, have you misunderstood?"

"Um?"

Leader Pang was slightly startled.

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Old Pang, how old am I? So many business seniors have risen and fallen under the wave of reform and opening up, and have supported the national economy under the multiple pressures of uncertain policies and laws.

God, I wasn't even born when they were struggling! Even if you are willing to give me this quota, I can't take it."

Leader Pang was very happy and said with a smile: "I knew you were the most enlightened! I was really afraid of what you had in mind. I wish you could be so generous! You are now very famous, and you are listed in all major departments.

, requesting full cooperation with your 'going global' strategy to drive the general direction of the domestic technical service industry."

Zhou Buqi said: "It's all a false name, meaningless. It still depends on what you do."

Leader Pang sighed, "It would be great if everyone had your awareness."

Zhou Buqi could guess that the selection of this kind of list would involve all aspects and be very complicated. He smiled and asked: "It's difficult to choose?"

Leader Pang said: "Yes, there are so many people who are qualified to be on the list. There must be private entrepreneurs, and the main leaders of important state-owned enterprises must also be included. There are also economists who have made important theoretical contributions, social

There will also be some iconic front-line officials. There are more than 120 people on the list now, and it would be troublesome to remove any one of them."

Zhou Buqi took the initiative and said: "Take my name off. No matter whether you are an official, entrepreneur or economist, you are all a senior. It is not appropriate to put a young man like me on it."

"Okay, that's it..."

"etc!"

"Um?"

"Lao Pang, I heard that our ministry is going to cooperate with the cultural and historical fields to release a tribute film for the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China?"

Leader Pang smiled and said: "Yes, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China". Don't even think about this movie. It can only be released by China Film."

Zhou Buqi couldn't laugh or cry, "What are you talking about? I also want to help."

"How can I help?"

"The filming of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" requires a lot of cityscapes and street scenes from the Republic of China. Most of them have been demolished in China. I talked with Mr. Han from China Film and Television, and he said that he would try his best to find replacements. If they can't be replaced, special effects will be used.

.”

Leader Pang was a little dizzy, "Mr. Zhou, what do you mean?"

Zhou Buqi said: "I mean, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is a tribute film, and it is also a patriotic education work. Since it is patriotic education, it would be a pity to use special effects to make it. If it can be shot in real life, then it will be real

The shooting venue can also become a patriotic education base in subsequent operations."

It's fine if I don't say it, but when I say it, Leader Pang becomes even more confused, "Mr. Zhou, just tell me directly! If you need help, just ask! You are protecting animals now!"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "That's right, my hometown is Chuncheng. It happened that a movie about the Nanjing Massacre was shot in my hometown recently. The director was very ambitious and built a city. Of course, the funds are limited.

, the scale is very small. I think this

This is a good idea. The cityscape of the Republic of China is so important for the presentation of film and television works. I plan to invest in this project and build a large patriotic-themed film and television base in my hometown. It is an old revolutionary base, in Northeast China.

A place of resistance.”

Leader Pang asked tentatively: "Do you want to create a film and television base with revolutionary themes?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, in addition to improving the city of Nanjing, we can also create several key cities such as Chongqing, Yan'an, Peking, Guangzhou, and Shanghai. In the future, if there are any film and television works with similar themes in the country, we can

Went there to take pictures.”

"By the way, it will drive the hometown economy? Create tourism value and film and television industry value?"

"right."

"Although Mr. Zhou is young, his mind is admirable."

Leader Pang couldn't help but sigh, if his son could have half the level and ideological awareness of Mr. Zhou, he would be able to wake up laughing even in bed.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Then help?"

Leader Pang said grandly: "This is your business, and all departments must give the green light. Don't worry, I will personally help you with the project approval!"

It is easy to set up a film and television base, but the red revolution theme requires more departments to review and approve it. It is best to get some privileges.

For example, a TV series filmed at the old revolutionary film and television base in Spring City can be approved on the spot, and the relevant departments can go and set up a branch. After approval, filming can begin.

The crew doesn't have to go through the process back and forth.

With such preferential conditions, we can better attract the crew to come.

After making a phone call, Ning Yaxian twisted her waist, stepped on high heels, walked over charmingly, and whispered: "Latest news, Baidu helo is online."

"oh."

Zhou Buqi looked very calm.

This little thing is really not worth paying attention to.

After finishing the speech at Tsinghua University, I had to go to Silicon Valley. Last month I went to the United States, but I was only halfway through the Silicon Valley work. I was threatened by Ballmer and went to Hollywood.

This time, I have to finish the remaining work.

In addition to the merger between Google and admob, there are also new tasks, such as researching Hulu, which is very important. Ziweixing may have to rely on Hulu for its layout in the video industry.
Chapter completed!
