At the end of the year, Zhou Buqi took charge of the capital headquarters.

Domestic matters are basically not reported to him. This just shows Zhang Yiming's ability and responsibility. Not reporting it shows that Zhang Yiming has shouldered the responsibility for the matter.

The presidents of many companies are so screwed up that they report everything big or small to the chairman. If they don't report in person, they just type the documents into the chairman's office and ask for his signature.

The chairman's signature means that he has informed the matter and has taken responsibility.

Zhou Buqi had not realized this before.

When he went to Hong Kong Island some time ago, he went to visit Mr. Li, the richest man, and learned several tricks from him - businessmen have no territory, tax-collecting business, hard work does not make money, no signing, etc.

"Not signing" does not mean never signing. The chairman still needs to sign on financial and personnel appointments. Not signing refers to business operations.

If you can do something, do it; if you can't, don't do it.

To confirm the power, it is to confirm the execution power obtained.

There can't be someone doing things, and people who don't know the details are gesticulating around. When you delegate power, give it in place. Don't give half and take back half, and don't impose too many constraints. Once you have confirmed the power, you can do things freely.

It is easier to succeed, and you can avoid shirking responsibility after making mistakes.

Zhou Buqi used to feel that he had to do his duty and work harder, so he had to sign dozens of documents every day. Now he has experience.

No wonder Hong Kong businessmen are so leisurely. They play golf every morning, read newspapers in the morning, have a massage at noon, drink tea in the afternoon, have a massage in the evening, and socialize in the evening. (Regular massage)

It turns out that their management mechanism is more advanced.

So after returning to the headquarters, Zhou Buqi immediately adjusted the mechanism of Ziweixing.

Unless it is project expenditures of more than 100 million yuan or personnel changes above m6 that require his signature, he will not care about other matters. It is enough to reach the level of Zhang Yiming, He Yang and Xu Liangjie, and he is not allowed to report here.

However, some important things about overseas business will still be reported.

Zhou Buqi was preparing to go to Magic City to pick up Wen Zhixia, and Ning Yaxian and the others were returning to Northeast China to prepare for the New Year, when they received two pieces of news from Japan and the United States respectively.

First, there was a call from Tang Binchen.

"ameba is going to cause trouble."

"What?"

"It's the local social networking site we invested in before, which is blog and SNS. Yikyak relied on them to help us introduce interpersonal relationships in the early days."

Zhou Buqi said: "I know, I'm asking what you want to do?"

Tang Binchen said: "They also want to launch a Twitter-like sub-site to compete with yikyak for the market."

"Isn't it?" Zhou Buqi felt a little incredible, "I remember, didn't we get 32% of the shares? Are we going to fall out?"

Tang Binchen coughed a few times, "The main reason is that the other party wants to introduce yikyak's resources and traffic, but I don't agree."

Zhou Buqi laughed twice.

This is not surprising.

In the past, yikyak did not take off and relied on the celebrity users and traffic introduced by other people's ameba website. Now yikyak has grown bigger, with more celebrities stationed on the site and more active users.

How can they not be angry if they end up getting nothing and not helping others develop?

But it's the right thing to do.

Yikyak is now the second largest website after Yahoo Japan, and its resources are far more important than ameba. How can you easily share resources casually?

Why?

Yikyak imports traffic from Yahoo Japan, which costs US$100 million per year.

Tang Binchen said coldly: "They have approached me several times, but I rejected them all. Then they gave an ultimatum and said they were going to build a similar website."

Zhou Buqi was relatively calm, "Where are the shares? How to solve it?"

This is the most important thing.

Last year, in order to obtain Ameba's resources and traffic, MSI was very cowardly and found a lot of people. Later, it hired former Sony president Nobuyuki Idei as a consultant, and he came forward to help complete the deal.

Ziweixing invested US$240 million to purchase 32% of the shares of ameba’s listed parent company.

It stands to reason that the second largest shareholder should be able to get at least 3 board seats. But in fact, he only got 1, and he was severely suppressed.

But even if it is suppressed, 32% of the shares are still very important shareholders, and they can request a shareholders' meeting at any time.

If it gets to that point, it will be a big deal.

Ameba is a listed company, so if there is a commotion, the stock price will inevitably collapse. The existing board of directors and the controlling party obviously do not want such a thing to happen.

Therefore, even if you fall out, you won't be able to break up in a big way.

Tang Binchen said: "I may repurchase it."

Zhou Buqi was very happy, "What a good thing! Last year, I invested 1 billion US dollars in order to expand the Japanese market. Now, I can get a lot back."

"Um……"

Tang Binchen was slightly silent.

Zhou Buqi said coldly: "Get rid of it when you're done with it. It's what you want. As long as you give a suitable premium, sell it! And it's a one-time transaction, no default."

Tang Binchen said in embarrassment: "I was afraid that it would be difficult to save face, so people helped us start making yikyak. Once we started making it, we turned against each other."

Zhou Buqi didn't care, "It's just a small broken company, what kind of face does it have? Among Japanese Internet companies, only Yahoo has face. Once we firmly establish a stable cooperative relationship with Yahoo Japan, everything else will be easy."

The big boss said this, and Tang Binchen couldn't say much. He couldn't help laughing, "Our business... is really unscrupulous. We bought stocks at low prices and used other people's traffic and resources for free. Wait for yikyak to do it."

After I got up, I didn’t even get the slightest feedback, and I had to sell the stocks back at a high price to make a big profit from the price difference.”

Zhou Buqi said happily: "It's no wonder we, they are obedient, should we sell the stocks? Tell them, either redeem them at a premium, or turn your back and sell them directly on the secondary market. They want to imitate yikyak

If they build a similar website, they will be at a loss.”

Tang Binchen took a deep breath, "Okay, let's do it!"

I feel quite refreshed when I don’t have it.

oops!

It would be great if overseas markets could be as friendly as the Japanese market. Not only do they help, but they also take the initiative to offer money. This business is really profitable.

What a good sign!

It is indeed a good sign, and the letter from the United States is even more exciting.

The American version of helo for ios will be officially launched in the Apple Store on the 30th of this month!

Half a month ahead of schedule.

Zhou Buqi made a direct overseas phone call to Lu Qi, "Helo is about to go online. Are there any competitors?"

"No."

"Not one?"

"Neither MSN nor Google Talk have developed iOS versions. Only Yahoo Messenger has been developed specifically for the iPhone, but it is also based on the traditional product thinking of the feature phone era. You know, Yahoo Messenger is not used by many people."

Luqi comes from Yahoo, so he knows it very well. In his opinion, the existence of Yahoo Messenger is equivalent to non-existence. After helo is launched, there will be no competitors.

Therefore, we must seize the time to go online and seize this track before there is a similar product in the market.

Zhou Buqi asked: "Has the promotion plan been completed?"

Lu Qidao: "I made several copies, but I didn't agree. Their... promotion budget was too high. It's my fault."

Zhou Buqi understood what was going on as soon as he heard it.

Purple Star USA is actually not a startup company. A startup company starts from scratch and develops little by little, becoming bigger and bigger.

The company under Lu Qi's leadership is different. It does not start from scratch. It is equivalent to a semi-startup and semi-mature company. The managers under him are not "amateurs". They used to be senior executives of other large companies.

Executives from large companies have advantages and disadvantages.

The disadvantage is that it is not as frugal as a start-up company, and is used to spending a lot of money. Any marketing plan may require a budget of millions or tens of millions of dollars.

Zhou Buqi actually doesn't care about this.

If you can do it by spending money, it will be a huge success.

Of course, if you can spend less, it's best to spend less.

Lu Qi said with a smile: "I had a conversation with Zhang Yiming, and he gave me an idea, which I think is very good."

"Oh? What's your idea?"

"He said that Ziweixing has a product in China called Weidian Software."

"Yes," Zhou Buqi knew very well. This is a product he brought out by himself. "It is a built-in product of Micropoint Security Guard."

Lu Qidao: "Weidian Software's profit model is, first, the software download service, charging software manufacturers a service fee based on the number of downloads. The second is advertising revenue."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "We rank software to collect advertising fees. There are bidding advertising rankings and special recommended advertising spaces. This is the profit model of all such software stores. What Yiming is telling you is

What is the similarity between Weidian Software and Apple Store?”

"There is no advertising service in the Apple Store yet."

"No?"
