Chapter 600
Zhou Buqi admired Wang Xing very much.
Speaking of which, he is only 27 years old this year and is very talented. He was recommended to Tsinghua University in his early years, and after graduation he received a full scholarship to study in the United States. However, within two years, he was tired of the superficial knowledge learning in school. 24
At the age of 10, I faced tremendous pressure and returned to China to start a business.
He was a second-generation rich man who could have lived a life of luxury cars and beautiful women. But he didn't. He was like an ascetic who lived in a shack with his colleagues or made a floor in the office.
He eats the cheapest roadside stalls every day and doesn't even have time to fall in love. His girlfriend is a female colleague in the company, even if he has solved a major life event.
When mentioning this, Wang Xing took it for granted and asked strangely: "Isn't this the case for all entrepreneurship? Pengfei, isn't it hard for you to start a business?"
Guo Pengfei shook his head and said: "In Ziweixing, there is one of the most important values, and choice is the most important. The same goes for starting a business. Diligence, hardship, and hard work are of course necessary qualities, but behind this extraordinary effort is
Constantly correcting misjudgments requires constantly returning to the starting point and starting again. If you choose the track from the beginning, identify the right direction, and then run all the way in this direction... Starting a business does not require that at all.
Hard."
Wang Xing was shocked, "You guys had the right direction from the beginning?"
Guo Pengfei said: "From the milk tea shop, to the dining table advertisement on the university campus, to the dormitory canteen... and then to the campus network, every step we took was very steady. Basically, we had a clear goal from the beginning. There was no
Too serious detours occurred. So from the perspective of the conditions for starting a business..."
He paused, looked at the office filled with a strange smell, and sighed, "Our entrepreneurial process was also very difficult, but we are not as miserable as you."
Wang Xing was in disbelief, "How did you do it?"
Guo Pengfei pointed to Zhou Buqi beside him, "He is responsible for pointing the direction, and we are responsible for giving our best effort."
Zhou Buqi said: "Master leads us in. Cultivation depends on the individual. The decisive role here is not the individual, but the master. What the individual determines is the level, from 1 to 2, or from 10 to 100."
The process. The role of the master is to create, to make something from nothing, to change from 0 to 1.”
The most typical case is Lei Jun. He founded Xiaomi, which was difficult and painful. He worked 15 hours a day and could not eat for more than 3 minutes. He had to hold meetings non-stop, adjust and modify. Let him do the software alone.
If you want to make hardware, you will definitely have to take countless detours along the way.
But the same OV is different, there is Duan Yongping’s design behind it.
The success process of Oppo and Vivo is one step at a time. The entire business logic is simple and clear, and the strategy is very clear, which is to take the low-end route for users in third-tier cities and below. Compared with Xiaomi's hardships, it is easy to achieve success.
success.
Wang Xing vaguely understood what he meant and asked tentatively: "Mr. Zhou, are you willing to give us some directions?"
Zhou Buqi didn't answer directly. He looked around at this small and simple office, which was still filled with the smell of food, smell of sweat and other strange smells, and sighed: "Can Hainei.com not be able to continue?"
"It's very difficult."
"Many similar websites have closed down."
"Thousand Oaks Interactive is communicating with us and wants to acquire it."
"Oh?" Zhou Buqi smiled, "It seems that Boss Chen hasn't given up on this field yet, and is still dreaming about competing with Xiaonei.com."
Guo Pengfei didn't take it seriously, "What's the situation like this? The social structure on campus has been decided. Whoever tries to advance will be doomed."
Wang Xing sighed, "They offered 3 million, but I didn't agree."
"How many do you want?"
"I returned to China to start a business in 2003. I did three or four projects and invested a total of 5 million, all of which I took from my family. My requirements are not high, I just need to get my capital back."
Zhou Buqi shook his head, "Difficult!"
Haineiwang has the title of the world's largest Chinese campus SNS website, but in fact it is not good at anything, its positioning is unclear, and it lacks a profit model.
More importantly, there is Facebook abroad and school network domestically, both of which have already formed scale in their respective fields.
This market is dead.
There are only two possible ways, either to find a way to buy shares and get involved. Or to find a breakthrough in other tracks, like Twitter, to compete with Facebook in a new form. From socializing with acquaintances to socializing with strangers.
, once the thinking changed, the market suddenly became clear.
Wang Xing bit his lip, put down his face and begged: "Why don't the school network take it over? The overseas network has a lot of resources for foreign students, which can supplement the school network to a certain extent. It only costs 5 million."
Zhou Buqi immediately refused, "We have no interest in Hainei.com. Let alone 5 million, I don't want even 500,000."
Wang Xing was a little angry, "Then there's nothing to talk about."
Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "You can't pay out 5 million, but you can pay out 6 million."
"Um?"
Wang Xing was stunned for a moment.
Not to mention him, the few people following Zhou Buqi were a little confused. Only Guo Pengfei looked like he was not surprised, and followed Zhou Boss. He had experienced many ridiculous things and was used to it.
Zhou Buqi said calmly: "I'll give you 5 million to fill your own pocket. 1 million is for your team. Looking at you... I guess the salary level will not be too high and the pressure of life will not be small. You can take it and divide it."
Let’s improve our basic life. Starting a business requires a spirit of hard work, but we can’t let employees work on an empty stomach.”
Wang Xing was surprised and confused. His attitude was much lower. He leaned forward and said tentatively: "Mr. Zhou, you...what do you mean? I almost fainted."
Zhou Buqi pointed at him, "6 million, I want your team. I'm not interested in Hainei.com, but I am very interested in such a hardworking, simple, motivated and hard-working team."
Wang Xing's expression changed slightly, "You want us to join Ziweixing?"
"right."
"Mr. Zhou may not know that I have told Pengfei many times that I will not work for other people's companies."
"This is not called part-time work, it is a joint venture." Zhou Buqi smiled, "Ziweixing is quite large now, but it has only been in business for two years and is still in the entrepreneurial stage. If you join now, we will be entrepreneurial partners.
There is no one working for whom.”
Guo Pengfei immediately agreed, "Ziweixing is fully employee-owned, there is no boss, and there are no workers. It's just that everyone has a different division of labor. Some are responsible for the strategic structure, and some are responsible for the specific execution. If your strategic planning ability is better than Zhou Buqi's one day
Now, you are the chairman, no problem!"
Well, this guy just drew a super pie.
Wang Xingxin said: "Do you think I'm a fool?"
But Zhou Buqi had a serious face and said seriously: "This is the truth. Whether it is the chairman or the CEO, it doesn't matter. What matters is who can lead the company to a better place. To be honest, at this stage,
, no one in the world can replace my role in Ziweixing. After a few years, when the young people in the company have grown up, I will definitely give up power step by step. First let the president, then the CEO. If
If you really meet some genius, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to give up the position of chairman.”
Wang Xing looked suspicious.
I feel like these two guys are working together to cheat.
Guo Pengfei sighed, "Wang Xing, I know you don't believe it. That's because your contact time with him is too short. You will understand after a long time."
Then, he patted his chest and said: "I assure you, what he said is true. Ziweixing's decision-making body is not the board of directors, but a decision-making committee composed of senior executives. The company's pursuit is not to make money.
But to create higher social value and to have the world in mind is the temperament of Ziweixing."
Wang Xing remained silent.
These two people talked so much, but it couldn't change the fact that joining Ziweixing means working for others. At that time, there were differences in thinking. Should you listen to the leader or listen to yourself? Only listening to yourself is called entrepreneurship.
Zhou Buqi said: "As I said before, the success of starting a business does not matter how hard you work. There are too many people who work hard, but most of them are at the bottom of society. Why? There is a deviation in the cognitive structure. Yes
A correct business understanding and an accurate business choice are prerequisites for successful entrepreneurship."
Guo Pengfei immediately said: "Wang Xing, I think you are too hasty. Starting a business consumes a lot of energy. Starting a business can take away half of your life. Have you started your own business four times in a row? You have lost two lives. It's best.
You need to take a few years to settle yourself first, and then you can come to Ziweixing to stay for a few years. I guarantee that by following Boss Zhou, your business knowledge will make a huge leap."
"But……"
"No but, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the dozen or so employees who are working with you, right?"
"I'll think about it again..."
…
Everyone was a little angry when they left Hainei.com.
I feel that the young man named Wang Xing simply doesn't know how to praise him. Even Boss Zhou came forward in person, and he is still trying to be smart and wants to fight alone without looking at how much he weighs.
Zhou Buqi was very happy, "Why do I think his tone is not so harsh?"
Guo Pengfei smiled and said, "After failing to start a business continuously and being teased by Qianoak Interactive, I will definitely be disheartened and just hold on with one breath."
"In this way..." Zhou Buqi thought for a moment and then made arrangements, "Nie Caijun, you and Guo Pengfei, take some financial statements from the school network and run here more often during this time to let him see them.
Let’s see what the size of the school network is now. Tell him to join Ziweixing first and accept our values and entrepreneurial philosophy. After a few years, I will show him a path, give him the greatest authority, and let him lead the team!”
Nie Caijun also didn't quite understand, "Why don't you ask the human resources department to send someone over to conduct an in-depth investigation?"
Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "No need to investigate, this person will definitely do it!"
He doesn't even want beautiful women in carriages and lives an ascetic life.
Who can do this?
