Chapter 1307 Traffic hijacking(1/2)
In the past few years, Zhou Buqi had a feeling that it was getting harder and harder to make friends.
When I first came to the capital to go to college, I always met some hateful people who either looked for trouble or provoked me. I was disgusted at the time and wanted to kill them all.
Looking back now, I feel a little nostalgic.
A nostalgia for reality.
In life, there should be bad people and good people, and then avoid the bad people and embrace the good people. Now that he is successful, famous, and everyone knows him, the surrounding environment becomes hypocritical, and he feels that the whole world is full of good people.
Everyone around you is so friendly and polite, which can easily create misconceptions and cognitive biases. It can even form an information cocoon of power. If you are surrounded by nice words, you can easily have the illusion of being invincible.
Such an identity has brought a lot of trouble to Zhou Buqi's normal life. At least he cannot make friends like ordinary people. Facing Xin Chuang, an old classmate from his previous life, with unequal identities, it is difficult for him to make friends.
Disaster.
However, because the other party graduated from Jilin University, Zhou Buqi still had the opportunity to talk to him a few more words.
"Jida? What a coincidence!"
"Mr. Zhou too?" Xin Chuang was a little surprised.
Zhou Buqi said: "No, my home is in Chuncheng. I used to go to Jida to play there. I'm very familiar with it."
Xin Chuang also wanted to join in the fun and scratched his head, "Several of my classmates work at Ziweixing. I also applied for the job but was not selected."
"Oh? Your classmates are here too?"
In Zhou Buqi's mind, a figure of a Jiangnan girl wearing a plaid skirt, a pointed chin, and big eyes appeared in his mind. Her name was Cai Bingbing. That was the first girlfriend he had in college in his previous life, who was Xin Chuang's.
We were classmates. Unfortunately, we later found out that this girl had a serious tendency to worship money, so we broke up.
Later, when I matured, I felt a little regretful.
Worshiping money is really not a shortcoming.
Unfortunately, the other party replied with the names of several boys.
Zhou Buqi lost interest and simply said a few words to him before going up to the fifth floor.
Here is the most important thing.
It is 51’s game area and new product research and development area.
Social web games are very popular now, not only in China, but also in the United States.
Mr. Pang said with a smile: "This year, a number of social game companies were born in the United States, such as zynga, bigpoint, playdom, and playfish, all of which are developing at an exponential rate. I read the news and said that EA will spend US$400 million to acquire playfish.
.”
Of course Zhou Buqi knows very well, "Yes, on Facebook's open platform, the biggest source of profit is web games, and the most popular among web games are social games."
Mr. Pang said: “I read reports that Facebook’s social games this year reached US$600 million.”
"Absolutely. The one with the most profit is "Farmville"."
Zhou Buqi understands it very well, and this is what he pushed for.
The license for "Farmville" comes from "Happy Farm". It is an American version of the farm game developed by Facebook and Ziweixing in cooperation with the American market. However, the details of the gameplay are different from those in China.
In China, it is stealing food and playing tricks on friends.
The American version is sowing, weeding, and harvesting. In this process, friends help each other. If there are no seeds on your farm, I will help you plant them; if weeds grow on your farm, I will help you weed them.
...It is a friendly and collaborative process, and in the end everyone takes photos and shares the harvest results.
However, Zhou Buqi didn't want to say more on this topic.
These social games of 51 are obviously imitated by Ziweixing, which is a serious infringement of intellectual property rights.
This is probably the main reason why Mr. Pang and all the senior executives received him with such high standards.
51 relied on Ziweixing to bring him back to life, and he didn’t want to offend the other party.
It is very difficult to pay intellectual property fees.
Zhou Buqi glanced at the vice president, Ms. Chen Sisi, and murmured in his heart, isn't this another honey trap?
This is not possible!
51 must not have too deep business dealings with Ziweixing. This is a matter of principle.
The main reason why the 51 community is so bad and the traffic can be so high is that it has occupied the Internet cafe market and "hijacked" the traffic in the Internet cafes to attract non-mainstream young people in the Internet cafes. This model will not last long.
Nor will it establish a positive brand.
Although the other party seems to have made some money through social games, in Zhou Buqi's eyes, this is at most a return to the past. Let alone survive for a long time, it is impossible to reach the height of Kaixin.com in his previous life.
Mr. Pang introduced him to several new social games being developed by 51, including hospital games, city management games, and shooting games. Several of them clearly plagiarized Ziweixing’s ideas.
Zhou Buqi remained calm.
Mr. Pang gave Chen Sisi a look.
Chen Sisi understood, and said with a bit of coquettishness: "Mr. Zhou, our two games are imitated by you. You have a lot of them, but don't be as knowledgeable as our small company."
Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "I understand."
Chen Sisi glanced at Mr. Pang carefully.
Mr. Pang’s heart was bleeding.
The ring on Sisi's hand was given by him, and his proposal was successful. But for the company, for the career... well, I can only sacrifice the small self to achieve the greater self.
He gave me an affirmative look in return.
Please continue!
To deal with this young boss, the beauty trap is still the best!
Chen Sisi gritted her teeth and could only push her head up, saying suggestively: "Mr. Zhou, are you free today?"
Zhou Buqi said: "Well, I'll go to Google in the afternoon."
"What about tonight?"
"I want to accompany my girlfriend."
"What about tomorrow?"
"Go to Hangzhou."
Chen Sisi's eyes were charming and she pretended to be coquettish, "Mr. Zhou, you are such a big shot, you are so busy!"
Zhou Buqi avoided her electric eyes and said helplessly: "There is no way. Ali is acquiring land in Hangzhou and is going to build a Taobao city. There will be a launch event tomorrow, and I will be asked by name to participate."
Chen Sisi breathed a sigh of relief, pursed her lips and said, "Mr. Zhou is a very busy man."
Mr. Pang next to him also let out a long sigh of relief.
…
After leaving 51, Zhou Buqi waved his fist like a winner.
yes!
Win!
This time I finally didn't fall into the trap.
Under no circumstances can you provide money to finance 51. Including the other party in the "Magic Helo Plan" is just an experiment, and it is impossible to further deepen cooperation.
However, the competition between the opponent and Penguin has been going on for many years, which is the main reason why Zhou Buqi came here today. Come and encourage them.
Even if you can't contribute money, you can cheer them up!
Continue your performance and continue to compete with QQ!
Ziweixing verbally supports you!
In the afternoon, I went to Google China and met with a vice president of the research institute named Lin Bin. He was responsible for two businesses. One was the music search business, which was nothing.
Another very important thing is the research on mobile Internet-related technologies.
This research is not only aimed at the domestic market, but also provides technical standards for Google's entire mobile Internet ecosystem and solutions for the unified transformation of PC-side products to mobile terminals.
Shen Xiangyang had contacted him before and wanted to recruit him to Ziweixing.
Zhou Buqi came over this time, and by the way, he also got involved. Google has been squeezed by Baidu and Weidian in China, and its market share has become smaller and smaller, less than 5%. Especially in the past few years, Weidian has had a series of mid-to-high-end products. The layout of the content field has produced a content source more powerful than Google. Many high-quality customers have gone to Weidian.
Kaifu Lee is really leaving.
This guy has worked for many Silicon Valley giants and has no sense of belonging. His career future must be more important. When talking about the search business, he doesn't hide it.
“According to the current development situation, the domestic search market in the future will be dominated by Weidian.”
"Baidu is number one."
"No, they will not be Weidian's opponents."
Li Kaifu's conclusion is very firm.
Zhou Buqi was very curious, "How to judge?"
Li Kaifu said: "Because Taobao is very powerful."
To be continued...
