When you reach a high enough level, life and work become inseparable.

For example, Zhou Buqi is about to buy the property at No. 4 Cowley Street in central London.

This is the headquarters of the British Liberal Democratic Party.

In the past 100 years, every leader of the Liberal Democratic Party has moved his family here after he came to power. There are three floors in total. The first floor is the work area, the second floor is the living area, and the third floor is the rest area. There is also a leisure area on the roof.

.

After they step down, they will move out and let the new party leader move in.

Through this way of integrating life and work, efficiency can be maximized. Otherwise, as soon as there is work, the party leader would have to run to the office for a meeting and then run back again, which is not tiring enough. It is better to let his subordinates come directly to the home for meetings.

Heads of state basically follow this model, working while living and living while working.

Zhou Buqi is about the same now.

This time I flew from the UK to the European continent mainly to accompany a woman on a trip. But in this process, it was not just a vacation, it was also mixed with work.

I took a trip to Sweden and learned a lot.

This time when I came to Germany, I couldn’t be idle.

Ning Yaxian is Zhou Buqi's big secret. She has communicated with Ziweixing's administrative department a long time ago. She contacted SAP, the largest IT company in Germany, in advance and arranged a time for Boss Zhou to pay a friendly visit.

There were seven people in their group, including Zhou Buqi, Aunt Xue, Xue Baoshan, Wu Yu, Ning Yameng, Ning Yaxian and her daughter Ning Xinxin.

Two presidential suites were opened in the evening.

Very luxurious.

Aunt Xue, Ning Yaxian and Ning Xinxin live in one room, while Zhou Buqi and other girls live in another room. The main difference is that those who can sleep with them live together and those who cannot.

However, even if they live separately, Zhou Buqi cannot neglect them too much. As the head of the family and the only man in the family, he must take good care of everyone.

Especially Ning Yaxian, she is pregnant and needs to be more considerate.

Ning Yaxian is a mature and intellectual beauty, not pretentious. After putting her daughter to sleep, she sat and chatted with Aunt Xue.

Zhou Buqi appeared, "What are we talking about?"

Ning Yaxian said: "Tomorrow's arrangement is that we go to SAP's headquarters and let them go to Stuttgart. Well, the headquarters is in a small city below Stuttgart."

"It's really strange," Zhou Buqi said, somewhat unable to understand the thinking of the Germans. "Such a world-class technology giant is still in a small county town instead of moving to a big city."

Ning Yaxian pursed her lips, "Germans don't care about that."

"I guess it's war trauma. I don't dare to compare. It's good to be alive."

"It's not like what you said?"

Ning Yaxian rolled her eyes at him.

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Auntie, let's have a glass of red wine?"

Aunt Xue said angrily: "What should we drink? Yaxian is pregnant with the baby."

Zhou Buqi said: "She doesn't want to drink, so let's drink. It's not like sharing a glass of wine. Let's go! This red wine is standard in the suite and we paid for it. Isn't it a waste if we don't drink?"

Aunt Xue stared at him fiercely with almond-shaped eyes, but she also got up and opened the red wine.

Zhou Buqi put his arm around Ning Yaxian's waist, put his hand into her clothes, and gently caressed her belly, "How are you? Did you react?"

Ning Yaxian said sweetly: "It's okay, the baby is very well-behaved."

Zhou Buqi frowned, "You're so good, you're not just another girl, are you?"

Ning Yaxian was angry and funny, "You prefer boys over girls."

Zhou Buqi sighed, then slid his hand upwards and said, "Forget it, I'll still check up on our daughter so that she won't have enough to eat after birth. If that doesn't work, we'll have to hire two wet nurses."

Ning Yaxian was a little annoyed, "Fuck you, even feeding you is enough!"

Zhou Buqi laughed loudly, "You said so!"

Aunt Xue might come over at any time. Ning Yaxian was embarrassed, so she pulled his hand out and got down to business, "Go to SAP tomorrow and you can talk more with their boss, Mr. Dietmar Hope.

football."

"Oh, he is also a fan?"

"More than just fans?"

Zhou Buqi was a little surprised, "He also has a team?"

Ning Yaxian pursed her lips, "It's not just that!"

"What's the meaning?"

"When he was young, he was a striker for Hoffenheim. Later, he stopped playing football and joined IBM as an engineer. Later, he left IBM to start his own business and founded SAP Software Company. His entrepreneurial success has been

When he got the money, he bought Hoffenheim and became the team’s big owner.”

"No wonder!"

Zhou Buqi is a football fan, so he suddenly thought of something.

This Mr. Hope is in a miserable situation in Germany, and even received death threats at one time. Not because of his technology career, but because of the football club Hoffenheim.

The Bundesliga has a "501" policy, which means that the fans have the final say about the team, not the owners. This results in Mr. Hope owning 96% of Hoffenheim's shares, but he does not have the decision-making power over the team. He is obviously

The super rich man wanted to invest more money in the team and buy some outstanding players to make the team better, but he couldn't do any of these. Later, he proposed to change the Bundesliga's "501" policy, and was scolded by German fans.

Extreme fans even threatened to kill him.

This is completely two extremes from the Premier League.

In Premier League clubs, the fans have no say at all, and the owners are like vampires, constantly sucking blood from the clubs. The Bundesliga is completely the opposite. The owners cannot inject capital or give money even if they want.

However, Zhou Buqi also discovered the power of German football from this incident.

Can a professional player still work as a technical engineer at IBM after retiring? Can he still succeed in starting a business and build the world's largest software giant, SAP?

Football is a brain game.

Domestic players are all children with stupid brains who can't learn anything. They can't play football until they can't study anymore. How can they pass creative and imaginative balls on the court if they don't have good brains?

?

Another example is the son of Manchester United CEO David Gill. He is currently the best player in Manchester United's youth training, no worse than Welbeck. However, the club does not pay enough attention to him. Because this kid does not want to play professional football and will wait until he graduates from high school.

After retiring and going to college in the United States, he wanted to work in the financial industry.

Basic education and football still need to be deeply integrated and developed simultaneously, and they cannot fall behind at all.

Zhou Buqi also had to lament that football has such great influence in Europe!

No matter where you go, football can come in handy.

The move to acquire Manchester United was really the right one.

With the common interest in football, Zhou Buqi can establish a personal friendship with Mr. Hope, which can then promote a series of business cooperation between Ziweixing and SAP.

At this time, Aunt Xue came over with two glasses of red wine, handed one to Zhou Buqi, and asked incomprehensively: "Isn't Ziweixing an Internet company? It also makes software?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "It's not software, it's... well, they mainly make ERP software for enterprise users. Ziweixing has also established a new enterprise service division. To develop cloud computing, it has customers.

Data has resources and can help them sell software."

This is just one aspect.

SAP is a world-class software giant with strong management experience and technical engineering. This is Germany, not Silicon Valley. Germany has always been friendly to China, and its technology blockade is not so strict. The domestic high-speed rail project relies on their help. If both parties

To deepen cooperation, maybe Ziweixing can send a technical team to study in the future.

Moreover, Ziweixing was originally a major customer of SAP, and the company's human resources system was purchased from them.

Aunt Xue didn't understand it even more. She was a layperson, so she was easily influenced by domestic public opinion. "Aren't we going to promote domestic software? How about you help foreign companies sell software like this?"

"Well……"

Zhou Buqi didn't know what to say.

Ning Yaxian chuckled and said: "Then it must be of the same level, right? You can't just use inferior domestic software to support domestic products and make the company's business a mess, right?"

"Really?" Aunt Xue was a little confused, "Isn't it said that domestic software is already very powerful?"

Ning Yaxian shook her head, "Really powerful ones don't need publicity at all. When buying base stations, choose Huawei, when buying computers, choose Lenovo, when buying air conditioners, choose Gree, and when buying refrigerators, choose Haier. Because they are not strong, they must constantly use public opinion guidance and use

Non-market competition. It costs nothing to shout slogans, but if you really want to spend money, you have to pay real money, so you have to vote with your feet."

Zhou Buqi added, "The gap between domestic software and the world's software giants is no smaller than that of the chip industry. Moreover, it is not just a technical issue, but also a business environment, brand and credibility issue."

"What's the meaning?"

"It's...well, in fact, in the field of ERP software, domestic software already accounts for half of the country, which is a crushing advantage over foreign software giants. But after refining the data, you will find that small and medium-sized enterprises often choose domestic software because of the price.

It’s cheap and easy to operate. But big companies, not just foreign companies and private companies, but also central and state-owned companies, choose foreign software. Mainly, SAP, Oracle, IBM, etc.”

At this time, even Ning Yaxian didn't understand much and asked: "Why? Even state-owned enterprises have to purchase foreign software? Many domestic ERP software companies are state-owned enterprises themselves, right?"

Zhou Buqi paused, "Because it's not safe."

"What?"
