Chapter 606: An Experiment(1/2)
With the development of his career, Zhou Buqi's vision and level are getting higher and higher.
When he was first reborn, he felt that BAT was an unattainable existence.
But it's different now.
He feels that BAT is just like that. It is not a transcendent existence. It has many shortcomings and weaknesses, and it is not an insurmountable mountain. At present, he has entered the search field and launched a challenge to Baidu.
On-campus group buying and Friends Network also have certain competition with the other two companies on the fringes.
Since Ziweixing wants to play an infinite game, it will inevitably compete with BAT, including giants like Lenovo, Huawei, and ZTE.
Zhou Buqi alone is definitely not enough.
More and better elite talents must join.
Wang Xing's team is undoubtedly the best.
This guy is a senior player of Infinite Games, and he is very consistent with Ziweixing’s philosophy.
Wang Xing is only 27 years old this year and is still an unknown figure in the Internet circle. When Ziweixing’s big boss personally invited him, it was inevitable that he would be touched in his heart.
"I heard you've found a new direction?"
"right."
"Twitter?"
"right."
"Can you tell me the reason?"
Zhou Buqi asked calmly.
Wang Xing was a little hesitant, as if he didn't want to say it too clearly. After all, this was a business secret to a certain extent. But when he saw Boss Zhou's eyes burning, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he said vaguely: "I think socializing with acquaintances is a good idea.
I can no longer continue to operate in this field, so I want to sell Hainei.com and find a new track."
Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Socializing with strangers."
Wang Xing could only admit, "Yes."
Zhou Buqi nodded, "Indeed, the acquaintance social networking market in China has been monopolized by friends.com. There is QQ space in non-mainstream fields, and the opportunity is gone. Socializing with strangers is a good direction, but the timing is wrong.
"
"Um?"
"Just give up and join Ziweixing. First, accumulate some workplace experience and feel our corporate culture. Maybe it will be helpful to you. When the market for socializing with strangers matures in the future and the time comes, I will help you."
Let’s build this market.”
These words are somewhat strong.
Wang Xing was very unhappy.
He is a nobody, and his opponent is a big shot in the industry. It is true that there is a huge status gap between the two parties. But he has no worries about food and clothing. When his business failed, he went home to inherit the family property. He is the kind of person who is well prepared and will not play tricks at all.
set.
"Mr. Zhou, have you said this?"
"Not at all."
"Is Mr. Zhou so confident?"
Wang Xing's displeased tone revealed a bit of sarcasm that could not be concealed.
Zhou Buqi smiled and didn't care too much. Talents always have certain personalities. It doesn't matter if you are proud of your talent. The key is whether the capital is strong enough. As Jobs said, he would rather work with some geniuses who are difficult to manage.
I don’t want to work with some mediocre people who are very well managed and obedient.
Guo Pengfei next to him was not very happy, and frowned: "Wang Xing, let me tell you, from the beginning of starting a business to now, Zhou Buqi's judgment on the market has never been wrong! He said that if the time is not ripe now, he will definitely not
Mature!"
Wang Xing was unmoved, "If you are not mature enough, you have to give it a try."
Guo Pengfei said angrily: "You really know nothing about legends!"
Ning Yaxian said calmly from the side: "Mr. Zhou is too low-key. If he published an autobiography and told all his experiences in the past two years of starting a business, it would shock the whole world."
Wang Xing said: "Maybe, I don't know enough. I am just a wild dog on the roadside. Maybe a kind person gave me a bite to eat, and I thought I was drugged. But this is my character. Wild dogs are real dogs.
"A pet dog is just a tool to please its owner. I don't want to be a tool."
Zhou Buqi smiled and waved his hand, "No, it's not that serious. Let's talk about Twitter. Do you know Twitter?"
Wang Xing shook his head, "It's not clear yet, but I know this direction will definitely work. After selling Hainei.com, we will start preparing to study Twitter's business model and operating principles to form a certain degree of localization."
Zhou Buqi glanced at Ning Yaxian and said with a smile: "What can you come up with through your own research? I have some materials here, take them and see for yourself."
"ah?"
Wang Xing was slightly startled and took over a thick stack of documents in a daze, which was very confusing.
When I looked down, I was shocked!
Twitter's corporate philosophy, corporate structure diagram, executive composition, relationships between departments, financial statements, partners, user scale data...
Everything you need!
Very detailed!
Such documents, let alone foreigners, even Americans can't get their hands on them. It seems that they were leaked from within, and only Twitter's senior management can master them.
How high-level industrial espionage does this have to be?
Wang Xing took a breath, and the hand holding the document trembled a little, "This...this...is this true?"
Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Of course it's true."
"This..." Wang Xing's mind was very active and he immediately thought of something, "Mr. Zhou, you... you can even get such detailed information. Does Ziweixing also want to build a website similar to Twitter?"
Zhou Buqi said: "Of course, I have had this idea a long time ago. But as I just said, the time is not ripe, so we can only do experiments in the United States first. After all, you also know that the United States is the Internet
In the center, the Internet environment is more mature and there is soil for cultivating seedlings."
Wang Xing was stunned for a moment and didn't react very well, "Experiment? What do you mean?"
Guo Pengfei couldn't stand listening anymore and snorted coldly: "Wang Xing, don't you understand yet? Who can get such confidential internal materials?"
"Um?"
Wang Xing still didn't understand, and subconsciously wanted to say, didn't you steal this? These days, stealing technical materials from the United States is an unwritten rule in the high-tech industry, and it is the same in all countries in the world.
Ning Yaxian was afraid that Guo Pengfei's tone was too harsh and might offend others, so she stopped him with a look, and then said with a smile without being rude: "Mr. Wang, the idea of socializing with strangers was proposed by our President Zhou at the beginning of this year.
He had this idea. However, he judged that the domestic environment was immature and the time was not right for it to be carried out. So he went to the United States, acquired a company, and promoted the project. In other words, Twitter is just an effort by Mr. Zhou to promote social interaction with strangers.
An experiment in the United States."
"What??!!"
Wang Xing's eyes widened, as if five thunders were striking his head. Electricity was flowing through his limbs, making his whole body numb and feeling semi-paralyzed.
He had a flash of inspiration and found a very creative new project in Silicon Valley. He thought it would be a new direction in which he could show off his talents... but it turned out to be just a small experiment done by his boss Zhou in the United States?
Real or fake?
Isn't this ridiculous?
Seeing that he couldn't believe it, Ning Yaxian pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't you believe it, Mr. Wang? Look at the list of executives on the third page. The president of Twitter is Jean Liu, and her Chinese name is Liu Qing. You know who she is.
?”
Wang Xing shook his head blankly.
Ning Yaxian said: "She is the daughter of Lenovo founder Liu Chuanqi. She is now the vice president of Ziweixing, in charge of the US business, and is also a director of Facebook and Twitter."
"Mr. Liu's daughter..."
Wang Xing's back felt chilly and he was sweating profusely.
Even Mr. Liu’s daughter was recruited!
What kind of formation is this?
Compared with Miss Liu, what does a rich second generation like myself mean?
Then, Ning Yaxian sent another document, which was the final blow, "This is Twitter's shareholding structure. Ziweixing holds 40% of the shares and is the largest shareholder."
Wang Xing was stunned and speechless.
Zhou Buqi patted him on the shoulder, stood up with a smile, and was about to leave, "Just keep these materials. If you still want to insist on starting your own business, these things will serve as a reference for you and help you. If there is anything else,
If you have an idea, go to Ziweixing to find me."
"Ah? I...I..."
"Don't make a decision in a hurry, think about it carefully."
…
Guo Pengfei didn't have a driver, so he drove away by himself.
