Zhou Buqi was going to the UK, and Tang Binchen happened to be returning to China. The two of them seized the opportunity to have a simple meeting in the morning. Ziweixing's overseas market development is undoubtedly the best in Japan.

UC Beauty is the most popular mobile app in Japan and is a must-have for everyone. For them, it seems that they cannot post photos without retouching them.

In addition, Tang Binchen also confidently said that by the end of this year or the beginning of next year, yikyak may become the second largest traffic website in Japan after Yahoo Japan.

Under this situation, Chen Dong planned to take advantage of the victory and pursue it.

Ziweixing has too many excellent and creative products. If you just find a few entry points, it is possible to trigger a wave of popular products.

"software?"

"Yes, the Japanese software market still has a very traditional payment model. This will be very helpful for us to promote Weidian Notes and Weidian Account Book."

"How is uc mobile assistant?"

Zhou Buqi frowned slightly.

He felt that Tang Binchen was a little too anxious.

He probably also heard that Ziweixing was going to split its overseas market, and he wanted to produce a more impressive report card as soon as possible, and then have a higher position in the new split Ziweixing Overseas Group.

Tang Binchen said with a smile: "It's good. UC products are very popular. Especially UC Assistant, which has greatly helped many users solve the problem of transferring from mobile phones to computers, especially iPhone and Aster. In UC Assistant, UC Browse

Driven by the device and uc beauty, uc's brand effect has been established, and I think we should pursue the victory."

"oh."

Zhou Buqi remained calm.

Tang Binchen said: "Weidian's brand is not conducive to overseas promotion, but uc can. Weidian has many excellent products. I think now is the best time to launch uc notebooks and uc ledgers. Weidian Notes has paid domestic users

There are about 3.5 million. But Japan is different. They are used to spending money to use software. Once uc Notes goes online, the number of paying users may exceed that in China in a short period of time."

After a pause, he added, "UC Assistant, UC Browser, and UC Beauty are all free products, and the operating expenses are not low. UC Notes and UC Ledger can become products that harvest traffic."

Zhou Buqi’s expression was dull, “Are there products like Weidian Notes and Weidian Accounts available in Japan?”

Tang Binchen said: "Japan doesn't have it, but the United States doesn't have it."

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows and asked, "In the United States?"

Tang Binchen said: "The ledger is mainly in the form of a website, and the experience is not good. Note-taking products have only appeared in recent years. There are technology and equipment limitations in the cloud space. There is a product called Evernote, which has not developed business in Japan, but

It is very popular among Japanese white-collar workers, and it is said that it has tens of thousands of paying users.”

“Not developing business in Japan?”

Zhou Buqi was surprised.

Not developing business in Japan means that there is no Japanese version, it is a purely English product, and the Japanese people's English level is very poor, how can this be very popular?

Another more important point is that not developing business in Japan means that the servers are all in the United States. If Japanese white-collar workers want to use this notebook product, they need to connect to a server in the United States across the Pacific Ocean, which will cause lag and delay when using it.

The experience is very poor.

But even in this harsh situation, it has been able to accumulate tens of thousands of paying users in Japan... which shows how much Japanese white-collar workers love this type of product.

No wonder Tang Binchen is so anxious and enthusiastic about bringing Micropoint Notes to the Japanese market. This is because he has seen a product space with huge market demand but no solution.

Tang Binchen said: "Evernote is very popular in Japan, but this company is relatively weak. It has only received angel rounds. It is difficult to promote its business in the United States, let alone the Japanese market. However, I heard a news recently.

o has seen this market and is planning to invest in Evernote.”

"Invest in Evernote?" Zhou Buqi immediately understood the meaning behind the news, "I want to give Evernote a sum of money and then attract them to come to Japan to expand the market!"

Tang Binchen recognized this statement and said: "Since we have similar products, why should we give up this market to others? The cloud data center in Tokyo is already under construction, and we have better infrastructure."

When the business of Weidian Notes expands, it is actually a SaaS service in the field of cloud computing. When users upload content to Weidian Notes, it is actually uploaded to the cloud. Then it can be synchronized to all terminal platforms through the cloud.

Such functionality is currently lacking.

The main reason is that cloud computing has not developed.

But in a year or two, Micropoint Notes will have far greater advantages than Evernote and will be more competitive.

This is the advantage of large companies, which have stronger and richer resource integration capabilities.

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Since you have already done market research, let's do it! This is the operator's business. Even if they see this business opportunity, they still need multiple rounds of inspections.

By the time they complete their inspection, research and due diligence and decide to invest, maybe Micropoint Notes will have already entered the Japanese market.”

Tang Binchen was very happy, "So, it can be done?"

Zhou Buqi approved, "If you think it's okay, then go for it... Well, by the way, how about the global market?"

"ah?"

Tang Binchen was slightly startled.

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "It's okay, I'll think about it later."

After Tang Binchen left, Zhou Buqi also left the company. He went home to pick up Aunt Xue, Xue Baoshan and his wife, as well as sisters Ning Yaxian and Ning Yameng. Wu Yu also pouted and wanted to go to England together. Gu

Before leaving, he turned on his computer and specifically checked Evernote, a Silicon Valley startup company that Tang Binchen mentioned.

Cloud computing is a huge project with huge investment.

Just a cloud data center composed of 10,000-20,000 servers would require an investment of US$50 million.

Big investment means high risk.

To ensure the success of your investment, it is best to make sufficient preparations in advance. In addition to the main server rental, big data processing and cloud computing businesses of cloud computing, you must also have more supporting functions.

Such as domain name application, such as public intranet, such as open source code library and code hosting business, such as e-commerce, such as collaborative office tools such as Weishu, and also including the direction of Weidian notes.

Use cloud computing to serve these products, and use these products to drive the development of Ziwei Cloud and complement each other.

What is the origin of Evernote in Silicon Valley? It has tens of thousands of paying fans in Japan without going to Japan to do business. How attractive is this?

Zhou Buqi didn't know the name evernote at all, he just thought it was some small company that he had never heard of. He could search it on Google and look it up... ha! Then he saw the familiar green icon of evernote.

Depend on!

Isn’t this just Evernote?

It turns out that Evernote in China is a branch of Silicon Valley, which is Evernote abroad.

Any company that Zhou Buqi is familiar with is a good company.

From this point of view, in the network notebook business, it seems that Tang Binchen's ideas can be surpassed. Only focusing on the Japanese market is not enough.

…

On the plane, Wu Yu took Baoshan and Ning Yameng to play cards.

Ning Yaxian is accompanying her daughter Ning Xinxin.

There was no other way, so the task of accompanying Aunt Xue was given to Zhou Buqi. Unfortunately, the Gulfstream plane was too small and had no bedroom, otherwise...otherwise, Aunt Xue could have rested in the bedroom.

"What's going on with that office?" Aunt Xue didn't know the inside story and could only look at it from an ordinary person's perspective. "Since our country also has office software, why should we buy foreign ones? Shouldn't we support domestic software?"

Zhou Buqi was helpless, "Aunt, why are you paying attention to this matter?"

Aunt Xue said: "There are a lot of news on the Internet, and the criticism is very fierce. A number of famous universities such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, Nankai University and Fudan University have made purchases for Microsoft, which seems to cost hundreds of millions!"

"How can there be so many?" Zhou Buqi was angry and funny, "Aunt Xue, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. This is not what you think."

Aunt Xue gave him an angry look, "You know again?"

Zhou Buqi said speechlessly: "I made a special trip to Microsoft and talked to Ballmer several times before settling on this matter. Do you think I know about it?"

"ah?"

Aunt Xue was stunned for a moment, looking him up and down with a suspicious expression.

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "It's actually not much money, it's just an increase of 126 million US dollars."

"What's the meaning?"

"Currently, Microsoft's total annual office sales in China are US$874 million. What they mean is that if they want to exceed US$1 billion, an additional US$126 million will be enough. After all, we are a developing country with limited consumption power. Both parties have different opinions.

Taking a step back and restricting piracy in China, Microsoft only asks for sales of US$1 billion and an annual growth rate of no less than 10%."

Aunt Xue was puzzled, "Why? I read the news and said that there are many office software in China."

Zhou Buqi glanced at her, "Then why do you drive a BMW or Audi instead of buying a domestic Geely or BYD? Doesn't Jinshan have WPS... Oh, by the way, WPS is free, you know, right? Why don't you think users

If you use a genuine free WPS, do you want to use a pirated version of Microsoft Office, or even spend money to buy the genuine one?"

Aunt Xue said angrily: "How do I know? Don't sound lecturing, it's not big or small!"

"I'm just trying to clear up your doubts..." Zhou Buqi laughed.

Aunt Xue sighed, "Forget it, I don't understand these big things. It would be great if there was a bathroom on this plane. I want to take a bath."

Zhou Buqi whispered: "Well, when we get to England, let's take a bath together? No, no... slip of the tongue, I said let's swim together? Wear swimsuits and visit the head office, right?"

Aunt Xue's face was slightly red, she gritted her teeth and glared at him, then whispered: "Don't show it to you?"

“It’s beautiful and delicious and can satisfy your cravings.”

"Go aside, be careful I tell Bao Shan!"
