The strategic design of technology companies is often closely related to technological development. This is why Zhou Buqi is obviously an outsider and has often tried to understand the technical direction of the industry in recent years.

You don’t need to understand the details, but you need to know the big picture.

Just like streaming media.

This streaming media technology is simple to say, but the future development space is huge, including sound stream, video stream, text stream, image stream, animation stream, etc... Future information transmission, whether it is live broadcast or ar, whether it is smart home or element

The dissemination of live information in the universe relies on streaming media technology.

For example, if you see a beautiful classmate in the school cafeteria and you are embarrassed to go over and strike up a conversation, what should you do? Technology can try to solve it. Use smart glasses to scan her, and then use ar augmented reality technology to display his Hello on the glasses.

Account number, friend network, school network account and other social information. If she discloses enough information, you can even find her mobile phone number.

Then you can send a voice message, "Classmate, I think you are so beautiful. Can you meet me? I'm at the table next to you."

Behind this will be the application of 5g, cloud computing, edge computing, artificial intelligence, big data, lot, ar augmented reality and other technologies, of course, including streaming media technology for information transmission.

Streaming media technology is the fastest way to transmit information.

Open source streaming solutions are too crude.

If the technology is too high-end and you cannot develop it yourself, you can only use open source solutions. Streaming media technology is not too high-end and you can do it yourself. In contrast, self-developed solutions are more consistent with your own products.

Zhou Buqi and Cheng Binghao went to Hulu's domestic R&D center together. Although the cooperation between Ziweixing Engineering Institute and the other party was only a small order of 2 million, both parties worked together to help Hulu create their own streaming media solution.

This direction is right. Since Ziweixing is in the leading position, don't interrupt.

Zhou Buqi told Cheng Binghao that Ziweixing will continue to develop in the direction of innovation and upgrading of streaming media technology. If there are no orders from the Engineering Academy in the future, the project will be transferred to the Research Institute, and it will continue even if it does not make money.

.This direction has great potential in the future.

If nothing else, at least Netflix and Spotify can definitely use it.

Especially for Spotify, which is a Swedish company, what technological outlet can there be? The future technological outlet is either to go to Silicon Valley or to come to China.

The best course is to come to China.

From Spotify's perspective, it has low labor costs, low operating costs, high work efficiency, and no messy social incidents. It is stable and prosperous.

From Ziweixing's perspective, the domestic Internet market is Ziweixing's home base. If Spotify comes to China, it will deepen its cooperation with Ziweixing step by step. As time goes by, they will be inseparable even if they want to.

From a national perspective, it can attract foreign capital, create jobs, and keep research results in the country.

In the afternoon, Zhou Buqi found some people to talk to.

The most important one is Wang Xing. The Weibo business he is responsible for is steadily improving. It now has more than 40 million registered users and daily active users have steadily exceeded 10 million.

Wang Xing said: "With Ziweixing's resources and no competitors in the market, it is not difficult to start such a business."

"Have no competitors appeared yet?"

"Not yet."

"Where's Penguin? Sohu? Sina? None?"

Zhou Buqi was a little surprised. How good is the development situation of Twitter in the United States? In addition, domestic Weibo has also started to develop, but domestic Internet companies have not followed up?

Wang Xing said cautiously: "The policy is unstable and we are still watching the wind direction."

"oh?"

"Recently, many blogs, forums, and Weibo websites have been shut down. A lot of out-of-border content has been posted on them, and there are also a lot of indecent content to attract attention."

"Well, the content must be carefully controlled." Zhou Buqi thought for a while, "I guess it will be better next year. Personal public opinion platform, this is the development trend of the Internet, and it cannot be stopped."

Wang Xing said: "Well, Weibo is relatively cautious in its expansion. If it weren't for this reason, with Ziweixing's traffic resources, Weibo might have 30 million daily active users."

Zhou Buqi said: "Then polish the product and make it stable. Some well-known big Vs... By the way, will you pay for those big Vs?"

"Give me money?" Wang Xing was slightly startled, "Give me money?"

"It's better to sign a contract before there are any domestic competitors. For Weibo celebrities like Han Han and Yao Chen, it's best to have a contract. They are the content producers."

"You mean to use contracts to retain some of the core big names so that competitors won't appear in the future and come to us at high prices to poach people?"

"yes!"

This is certain, Zhou Buqi is certain of this, and the vast majority of people will follow their interests.

Wang Xing twitched the corner of his mouth, "Weibo is not yet in commercial operation, and it lost 4 million last month."

Zhou Buqi said firmly: "This must be done, do it immediately. Use a contract to tie up all the big Vs. It will have to be signed for at least five or six years. It doesn't need to be much per month, just tens of millions of yuan is enough."

Well... first pick 100 big Vs and sign an exclusive licensing contract with them for Weibo. For Weibo, the most attractive thing must be the content, which is the content of some social celebrities. They are the core content.

Creator, go back and discuss it with Chen Tong and come up with a plan."

Wang Xing took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

I feel very helpless. After such a support plan is launched, Weibo will lose at least 10 million every month.

Zhou Buqi continued: "Unless it is a statement on some important events, you can post on Weibo continuously. Under normal circumstances, one or two Weibo posts every day are enough, but not too many, so as not to swipe the screens of the users who are paying attention. Of course, you can't

Too little…”

Wang Xing was a little funny. He felt that he was really free today and was paying attention to product details.

Zhou Buqi also felt that he had said a bit too much, so he ended the conversation.

Weibo has taken advantage of the right time, place, and people. If this cannot be done, there will be no justice. In the previous life, Sina Weibo could combine Sohu Weibo, NetEase Weibo, Penguin Weibo, Fanfou, and Kingdee Weibo.

When a series of similar products were defeated, it was mainly thanks to Chen Tong, the editor-in-chief of Sina Weibo at the time.

He single-handedly planned several online public opinion incidents based on Sina Weibo.

Why was Tianya so popular in the early years?

It is because this is the forum for public opinion, and all Internet incidents are fermented here.

The rise of Sina Weibo is based on replacing Tianya as a new frontier. The most famous one, which helped Sina Weibo establish its status as the industry leader in one fell swoop, is the "ghostwriting incident" of Fang Yuzi and Han Dashao, promoted by Chen Tong behind the scenes.

, the scene was noisy and the city was filled with uproar.

Zhou Buqi must restrain himself and not pay too much attention to trivial matters.

To avoid being like Chang Kaishen back then, who had an absolute advantage but went too far and interfered too much on the frontline battlefield, causing the battle to collapse.

The next step is to talk to Zhao Ying.

She flew here from Pengcheng just for this conversation.

Her heart is racing!

She is Shi Jinglin's good sister and a neighbor who grew up together when they were children. She also worked as a reporter, planner and editor in fashion magazines before.

After joining Ziweixing, she has worked both inside and outside the school and at Weimi.com. Her current position is the deputy director of on-campus group purchasing, mainly responsible for marketing and purchasing.

Things have changed now.

She has been selected to participate in a new entrepreneurial project!

When she learned the news last month, the company headquarters said she would be given half a month to think about it. Does she want to continue to be the deputy director of group purchasing, or does she want to change her job and start a new project?

It took her almost just a minute to make her decision.

When the opportunity comes, you must seize it!

Be challenged!

"Boss, I'm here."

"Don't be restrained. Linlin asked me to call you Sister Zhao. However, the company does not advocate this brother and that sister, so I will just call you by your first name."

Zhao Ying was still a little restrained and pursed her lips tightly, "Well, it should be."

Zhou Buqi looked up and down, feeling more at ease.

She looks average.

From this, we can conclude that she is really Shi Jinglin's sister, and not some other unclear relationship. Moreover, she is also older, in her thirties, and Linlin doesn't like older people.

Then, we talked about farfetch.

Ziweixing's project cooperation with farfetch is mainly divided into two parts. The first part is that Ziweixing invests 6 million pounds and holds 20% of the shares of farfetch headquarters. The second part is a joint venture between Ziweixing and farfetch headquarters to establish a

Farfetch China Company only targets the domestic market and will have an independent board of directors and management.

The share structure of Farfetch Mainland China is that Farfetch headquarters holds 35% of the shares, Ziweixing invests US$4.5 million to hold 35%, JD.com invests US$500,000 to hold 5%, and the remaining 25% of the shares are completely handed over to the entrepreneurial team.

.

The core candidate of this entrepreneurial team, the CEO of farfetch China, chose Ms. Zhao Ying in front of her and promised her 5% of the shares.

"This is not a 5% fixed share. It depends on your subsequent performance. For a period of 5 years, you will be rewarded 1% each year. It will not truly belong to you until after 5 years. If you are fired if the team is not brought up, then

It will definitely be taken back.”

Zhou Buqi's ugly words are ahead of him.

Zhao Ying expressed her understanding, "Of course, it should be."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "But you don't have to worry. I asked someone to check. Do you hold 110,000 shares in Ziweixing?"

Zhao Ying's face was slightly smoky, as if she was drunk, and she said lightly, "Yeah, 113,000 shares."

"How much did you spend when you subscribed?"

"$320,000."

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "It's quite expensive. Isn't it too late to subscribe?"

Zhao Ying was a little embarrassed, "Yes, I didn't know much about the Internet at the beginning, so I missed a good opportunity. But I will definitely not miss this opportunity."

Zhou Buqi smiled and waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, I made a lot of money anyway. Farfetch is a company controlled by Ziweixing. This transfer does not count as a job change. The company can allow you to keep these stocks and wait for the company to go public in the future.

Already."

Zhao Ying pursed her lips and said, "Well, thank you, boss."

"If we don't go through the farfetch, the contract with Ziweixing will be terminated, and the remaining options cannot be cashed in." After all, he is Shi Jinglin's good friend, and Zhou Buqi's tone is relatively gentle.
Chapter completed!
