Boss Zhou personally came forward and the acquisition went smoothly.

The main reason is that Zhou Hongyi also wants to get rid of this burden as soon as possible. If it is delayed for another month, the employees will still have to be paid, and the funds in the account will be even less, and it will be impossible to sell at a high price.

He Yang and Wang Haoyang teamed up to negotiate. They talked all morning and settled the matter easily.

The transaction was completed at a price of 22 million yuan!

In addition, there are additional conditions, that is, when Ziweixing raises funds in the future, it will give Zhou Hongyi the opportunity to participate in the financing in his personal capacity and give him a seat as an independent director.

This seat is very important.

From now on, Zhou Hongyi's main job will be angel investment, looking for promising innovative projects. However, for many excellent projects, investors are vying to give money. How do founders choose? Usually, it is not a choice.

Who gives more money depends on who has strong resources behind it.

After Ziweixing becomes stronger, Zhou Hongyi's role will rise. He can help startups connect with giants like Ziweixing, which will create great competitiveness.

It is also good for Ziweixing.

For large companies, innovation is the most difficult. Firstly, there is a lack of creativity, and secondly, there is a lack of enough outstanding talents. With Zhou Hongyi’s relationship, you can be related to more entrepreneurs. If you find

Excellent talents can be poached.

After settling the deal, Zhou Buqi, Xu Liangjie, Ji Zian, Meng Houkun and others went to Qihoo 360's headquarters.

The decoration is very simple.

It belongs to the typical shoddy Internet company decoration style. Simply partition off the room, polish the walls and floors, hang chandeliers, put in tables and chairs, arrange the workstations, and you can start work.

There is no sense of beauty.

This kind of decoration can basically be completed in one month from rough sketch to move-in.

Not to mention that it will release formaldehyde if left empty for a period of time.

The rents for this kind of top-notch office buildings are extremely high, and most companies would like to move in as soon as possible. It is not a harm to the health of employees, because the boss also moves in, and everyone works together to save money.

Unlike Ziweixing's headquarters, it took half a year to renovate and then remained vacant for three or four months, almost wasting a year's rent.

So as soon as he arrived here, Ji Zian's face looked a little ugly.

The decoration environment is so bad!

There is no comparison with the beautiful decoration style of Ziweixing headquarters in Sohu Building.

Zhou Buqi comforted him, "There is no way. There are only three floors at the headquarters, and the seventh floor is borrowed from Sohu. The space is limited and can accommodate up to 900-1,000 people. This year, Ziweixing expects the total number of employees to reach 2,000.

.Some departments will definitely have to move out."

Xu Liangjie nodded, "Let's change the facade here and turn it into Ziweixing's security affairs center. The rent has been paid, so it can't be vacant, right?"

Ji Zian said bitterly: "How about a little modification?"

Xu Liangjie said angrily: "What to modify? You have to work when you move here, so how can you have time to modify it? When I was at NetEase, the office environment was worse than this. There was not even an office. Didn't I survive it? NetEase didn't do the same.

Become a giant?"

Zhou Buqi made a downward gesture and said humorously: "It's not that the environment here is bad, it's that the environment at our headquarters is very good. If you look at Jinshan, Dangdang, Jingdong, and Douban, they are all about the same. Even Sohu is not that good.

Where to go."

Ji Zian sighed, "I'm just afraid that everyone will have objections and be unwilling to move."

Zhou Buqi said calmly: "There is nothing we can do about it. If anyone has any objections, just leave the position free and let people from 360 take over. Don't think they are defeated, but their ability to make products is

They will only be stronger than those under you. From 3721 to Yahoo China, and then to Qihoo 360, they are all product experts."

Ji Zian couldn't bear it, but he could only nod his head, which was regarded as acquiescence.

It is a foregone conclusion that the Weidian business group will move out and move to the original office building of Qihoo 360. Moreover, the deep integration of the original Weidian team and the 360 ​​team will definitely be full of twists and turns.

This is not as simple as the search business group integrating Phoenix Studio. Phoenix Studio is just a small company with a few people. It can be flattened or rounded no matter how you want it. But 360 is full of big guys. If it is not handled carefully, it will cause people's hearts to fall apart.

turmoil.

The integration process of the two companies will definitely be full of office struggles, and firing some people is inevitable. But once a large number of personnel are lost, the acquisition of Qihoo 360 will be considered a failure.

Zhou Buqi knew that Ji Junzi had a soft personality and was not good at doing things like killing people, so he called Meng Houkun over and coldly snorted: "You will be responsible for the personnel management. Who will do it because they are the defeated generals?"

Just find fault, provoke, and punish directly. If you don't obey, you will be cruel. Especially that Fu Sheng, he is the vice president of Weidian Business Group. He is in charge of products and asks everyone to cooperate obediently. A proud soldier must

If defeated, the mourning army will surely win."

Next, I met Fu Sheng and we had a good chat.

Then, I met Xu Ming, the technical director of 360.

As soon as they met, Xu Ming apologized first and said awkwardly: "Mr. Zhou, I'm really sorry for what happened in the past."

Zhou Buqi was very surprised, "What's wrong?"

Xu Ming explained that he used to be in charge of a secret technical team, which used the background programs of 360 products to interfere with and damage Weidian's products, thereby achieving the purpose of attacking competitors.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Then your skills are pretty good!"

Xu Ming was not modest at all, "It's okay, I haven't convinced anyone in terms of technology anyway. It's just that I'm not very good at network security, and I'm not as good as Micropoint Antivirus."

"Lao Zhou, let me tell you, I have new arrangements for your work."

"I've heard of it. Is it a search?"

"Yes, how about it, do you have any ideas?"

Xu Mingdao: "I think the resources of Micropoint Search are very good, much better than Baidu and Google. The shortcomings are also obvious, that is, the technology is too backward. I heard that Wang Xiaochuan's technical level is good. He was known as a computer genius many years ago.

How come it’s so poorly done?”

Zhou Buqi's eyes were a little complicated, and he felt that this guy was a little crazy.

Xu Ming introduced himself again, saying that he graduated from Harbin Institute of Technology in 2002. After graduation, he joined the 3721 R&D team. As soon as he joined the job, he became the technical manager, leading a group of technicians older than him to do R&D. Later, he followed the team to

When Qihoo started his business, he mainly focused on developing search products.

"So what do you think about the search direction?"

"I think the future of search will put people first, mainly in four directions: integrated search, mobile search, intelligent search and personalized search."

Zhou Buqi was very interested, "Oh? Tell me about it?"

Xu Ming was a little surprised, "Mr. Zhou, do you understand technology? Do you understand?"

As soon as these words came out, Meng Houkun next to him didn't hold back and started laughing.

This kind of technical person has such a straightforward brain circuit!

Fortunately, Zhou Buqi was always looked down upon by technicians in the company, and he was used to it. He coughed lightly and said, "Then let's talk about the direction, not the technical details. I still know a little bit about the general direction."

Xu Ming said "Oh", "Then let me talk about it briefly. Integrated search is what Weidian, including Baidu and Google, are doing now. To integrate various databases, only one search box is needed, which is in the back row.

In terms of database index, there is only one database to search all vertical searches.

Come over and integrate all kinds of diverse information, pictures, news, videos, music, products, or restaurant information. Provide diversified search results through a keyword. This is simple to say, but it can be

It’s very complicated to do and involves too many technical requirements.”

"Can you improve?"

"No, even if we do it, it will definitely not be as good as what Google does."

Zhou Buqi felt very good after hearing what he said.

What a big ambition!

Dare to compete with Google in technology.

"What do you want to do?"

"I haven't paid much attention to mobile search. I have never used a mobile phone to surf the Internet. What I want to focus on is smart search and personalized search. In this aspect, not to mention Baidu, even Google is not very good. Weidian

If we work hard in this direction, we can technically surpass Google in this single item!"

"The tone is not small."

"I think this is an opportunity, just like Friends.com, which provides personalized recommendation ads. Although I haven't seen the data, I believe this model will greatly improve the advertising conversion rate. Ad recommendations can be personalized and intelligent.

,Why can’t the presentation of search results be personalized?”

Zhou Buqi's heart moved, and he felt that this direction was no longer possible. Even before he was reborn, he had never heard of any company starting to do it.

As Xu Ming said, if it is really done, it can really surpass Google in this single item.

As for Baidu, you can ignore it.

Xu Mingdao: "Intelligent search is to provide dynamic search results based on different situations, including basic information such as time, location and language. For example, when searching for tickets, in different places, the information given should be the station information where the user is located.

.This is a set of basic algorithms that intelligently sorts search results.”

"Well, what about personalization?"

"This is the key point, and it is also the biggest advantage of Weidian compared to search engines such as Baidu, Google, and Yahoo. It is that behind Weidian, it can grasp more user information. And then based on this information, it can provide relevant information

Search results."

Then, Xu Ming listed several examples in detail.

For example, if a user searches for the keyword "ASUS" and then searches for the keyword "Apple", then there will be personalized intelligent analysis. The second "Apple" does not refer to a fruit, but to an American technology giant.

It’s an Apple computer. So in the search results, the search results for Apple computers must be ranked higher.

For example, if it is known in advance that the user owns a BMW car, when the user searches for keywords related to "car", BMW-related information can be ranked higher.

By analyzing users' personal information, we can provide them with accurate search result recommendations.
