Xu Liangjie returns to China.

Officially joined Ziweixing as Senior Vice President.

Because the contract he signed was a four-year labor contract, the law stipulates that the maximum probation period is 6 months. Therefore, Xu Liangjie followed the highest standards and the probation period was 6 months.

In fact, for an executive at this level, the 6-month probation period is a bit short.

The higher the position, the longer it takes to adapt. Many airborne executives cannot achieve much in the first year. A large part of the reason is that they have to spend a lot of time researching, understanding employees, and becoming familiar with the business.

Therefore, when dividing options, it is necessary to arrange them in a progressive manner.

For example, Xu Liangjie is a special talent introduction and has an option reward of 10 million shares, which can be exercised in 4 years. He does not get 25% every year, but a "1234" system. That is, he gets 10% in the first year and 20% in the second year.

%, 30% in the third year and 40% in the fourth year.

The first year is a probationary period. If you fail to meet the standards, you will be fired directly. In the second year, you will get results. If the results are not good, you will be fired. If the recruitment fails, the company will not suffer too much loss.

Zhou Buqi originally thought that since a great master from Silicon Valley had joined the company, he could discuss Ziweixing's strategy with him.

As a result, Xu Liangjie kept silent.

He also said that within three months, he could perform some specific tasks but would not participate in any decision-making in the company. The position of senior vice president would also be suspended for the time being, and He Yang would continue to lead the team.

The work style is more cautious.

And extremely diligent.

When he was in Silicon Valley, he was well-known in the industry for his diligence. He would get up at five o'clock every morning, run and exercise, read newspapers and news, have breakfast, and arrive at the company an hour early. There were no entertainment activities, and his life was monotonous and boring, and all his energy was spent on work.

Here, I have to work overtime every day and don’t leave the company until 10pm.

Some colleagues thought that he only had three minutes of passion and couldn't hold on, but they didn't expect that he had been working hard for ten years.

Zhou Buqi sent an enthusiastic and expectant email to all employees, announcing in a high profile: Mr. Xu Liangjie, the former global vice president of eBay and one of the top executives in Silicon Valley, returned to China and joined Ziweixing!

Ordinary employees may not feel much at all.

Their contact area is relatively narrow and I don't understand what this means.

But it was a sensation in the industry.

Zhou Hongyi from Qihoo: "Xiao Zhou, is the news true?"

Ali's Sun Tongyu: "Xu Liangjie? How did you do it?"

NetEase's Ding Sanshi: "Mr. Zhou, you are poaching, you are not authentic!"

Baidu’s Li Yanhong: “I released a big thunder secretly, but it was well hidden.”

Village Chief Duan of Taishan Society: "The next generation is to be feared."

Zhang Chaoyang went straight downstairs and came to Zhou Buqi's office. He was inexplicably surprised: "Holy crap! Did you really make it happen?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "I still rely on your guidance."

"Did you watch the football match last night?"

"I don't have time. I just looked at the score."

"Oh, that's such a pity. Zidane is really a generational football champion, and he has fooled Brazil's five superstars around."

"Now your Sohu reports have earned a lot of traffic, right?"

Zhang Chaoyang smiled and said, "It's not bad. How about it? Do you want to go to Germany to watch the final? Sohu is a partner and can get the tickets."

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "I don't have time. I'm going to Pengcheng in a few days."

"What?"

"I'm going to Huawei for research, and I have to deal with some other things. Take Yuanyuan with you. By the way, you two haven't broken up yet, right?"

"without."

Zhou Buqi looked at him strangely, "Old Zhang, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Chaoyang coughed lightly, "Last month, we launched an input method, did you know that?"

"Really? I didn't pay much attention to it."

"Are you pretending to be with me?"

"Who is pretending to you?" Zhou Buqi was a little funny, "I'm so busy here, who cares what you did."

Zhang Chaoyang said angrily: "You made the micro-dot input method, and we launched the Sogou input method. Is it a competitor? You didn't pay attention?"

Zhou Buqi said calmly: "I never pay attention to competitors."

Zhang Chaoyang almost choked to death, "You can really pretend."

Zhou Buqi said unjustly: "Who lied to you? Okay, I know now, you made a Sogou input method. What do you want to say?"

Zhang Chaoyang sighed, "Fighting hurts harmony."

Zhou Buqi was confused, "Who fought with you? Let's develop on our own, and don't interfere with each other. Don't be like your colleagues who do one thing in front of you and do another thing behind your back, and use all your means to discredit the other party."

Zhang Chaoyang was speechless.

What the hell!

This is a big deal!

Last year, the Sogou input method project was established. The results were great. Before there was any action on my side, the micro-dot input method was launched first, and the banner it launched was also amazing. It is called the social input method.

Relying on the strong stickiness of college students and the strong recommendation of Weidian security guards, the number of users has exceeded 10 million.

Sogou Input Method has only been online for a month, and even if Sohu exhausts all its resources, the number of users is only over 300,000.

It's too difficult.

What’s even more troublesome is that Friends.com has launched an advertising push service in the information flow on the homepage. It is said that the best advertisement is YY. Thanks to its promotion on Friends.com, it has added 2.9 million new users in one month.

It shocked the industry. There was even news that MSN could not defeat QQ, but YY could become a strong opponent.

Compared with traditional page advertising, search advertising, and information flow advertising on friends.com, it is so new and advanced.

The conversion rate is much higher than the first two.

Zhang Chaoyang said: "At least there must be fair treatment, right?"

"What's the meaning?"

"The Microdot input method can be advertised on Friends.com, but the Sogou input method cannot. What does this mean? There are customers coming to your door, but you don't want them?"

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Zhou Buqi really doesn’t know about this, but this result is predictable. It’s impossible for Friends.com to advertise to competitors, right? If it does, it must be to forcefully promote its own products.

Zhang Chaoyang said with a stiff face: "Xiao Zhou, we can be considered friends..."

Zhou Buqi interrupted him, "Old Zhang, it's meaningless for you to say that. Personal friends are personal friends, business is business. You are a senior, you must know better than me."

"So, you can't be accommodating?"

"Let me tell you the truth, your Sogou input method... is useless. I am the chief product manager of our micro-dot input method. I designed most of the functions, you know the memory vocabulary library."

"Um."

"You can create an exclusive vocabulary library based on the user's past typing habits. This is addictive. The longer the user uses it, the higher the accuracy of memorizing the vocabulary library, and the harder it is to change the input method."

"The micro-point input method only has more than 10 million users, right?"

"Isn't that enough?" Zhou Buqi was a little amused, "This basically covers the main user group of Pinyin typing. Do you want to recommend it to the low-end group? They may still use two fingers to type Microsoft Shuangpin.

."

Zhang Chaoyang had a sullen face and was not very happy.

This method of using one's own monopoly position to squeeze out competitors is really abominable. However, it's hard for him to say anything. Everyone does it this way, and Sohu itself is not clean either.

"Oh, if you want me to say..."

"What do you mean?"

"So what, what is Sogou's search market share?"

"Three o'clock."

Zhang Chaoyang is even more unhappy. He doesn't mention anything. The competition in the search market is too fierce. There are several international giants, and domestic Baidu is a stumbling block. It's really difficult.

"It's difficult!"

Zhou Buqi sighed for him.

"Do you have an idea?"

Zhang Chaoyang looked at him sideways.

Zhou Buqi said: "How about you just package Sogou's business and give it to me. Sogou input method and micro-dot input method are merged, let alone Sogou search. They have been online for two years and have no market effect at all.

"

Zhang Chaoyang almost died of anger.

He came here to build a relationship and ask this kid to be accommodating and include Sogou input method in the advertisement list of Friends. The result was so good that this kid wanted to take a bite back and fell in love with the entire Sogou business unit.
