Sometimes, it is difficult for He Yang to understand Boss Zhou's idealism.

Then he will reflect on himself.

Is your level of thinking too low and you can’t keep up with your boss’s ideas? Because your vision is too low, you can’t see how far your boss sees?

There must be such a factor.

If you want to build a world-class large company, the boss must have some idealism that is inexplicable to ordinary people. If you lack this kind of sentiment, even if you succeed, you will only be a small boss at the regional level.

So most of the time, He Yang was full of respect for Zhou Buqi.

I don't respect him because he is the boss, but I respect his vision and pursuit of heights that I cannot reach.

But at this time, He Yang couldn't hold on any longer, and he deeply understood Wang Haoyang's feelings.

It’s really head-scratching and frustrating!

"Boss, it's really hard. We have too many things to do now. I won't go into details, but just talk about a few major things that we have to deal with recently, the construction plan of the two major campuses of the headquarters and the branch, Today's Toutiao

The launch of social software, the research and development of social software. There is also cloud computing that is being prepared, as well as the engineering institute that has started construction and the research institute that has not started construction..."

"Well, I understand everything you said."

"No! You don't understand! I'm just talking about big things. There are many small things that you haven't paid attention to, such as the research and development of super documents and photo editing software, the competition between Weidian and Baidu, and the competition between Toutiao and Portal. We still have to work hard.

Maintaining the relationship with Penguin...Boss, everything is not easy to deal with!"

He Yang spoke so earnestly that he almost collapsed.

There are too many things to do and I am really overwhelmed.

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "If you have difficulties, overcome them. If you don't race against time, you will fall behind the times. If you survive this hurdle, Ziweixing will be qualified to compete with the giants of Silicon Valley."

This time, He Yang insisted on his opinion and said very cautiously: "No, the recent events are too big and too complicated. Now everyone's nerves are tense. If you add more pressure, it will be broken. Moreover, this is not only internal risk control.

problems, as well as risks from outside.”

"Baidu? Penguin? Three major portals?" Zhou Buqi shook his head, somewhat disapproving, "I'm not afraid to tell you that in the past few years, I have set up a dragnet. Even if we fail to capture them this time

, there will also be opportunities in the next few years.”

He Yang shook his head, "Competition in business is not a risk. Failure can only mean that your skills are inferior to others, and there is no reason."

"So what are you talking about?"

"Investor."

"Depend on!"

Zhou Buqi became irritated when he heard this topic.

He Yang said: "Several expenditures last month have made many people dissatisfied. Especially Pengcheng's headquarters park plan makes them feel like they have been deceived. Other businesses, that is, idg and Jinshajiang will have

Opinion. Even SoftBank and Alibaba have issued documents asking us for an explanation regarding this matter."

Pengcheng's park construction plan was originally planned for a total investment of 420 million yuan.

We happened to cooperate with the local government and loaned 420 million yuan from the bank to use the land.

In other words, with proper operation, Ziweixing can build a large low-density, high-quality headquarters center in Pengcheng without spending a penny.

This is a good thing.

It has brought huge confidence to the capital market.

But later, Boss Zhou changed his mind and said that the 420 million yuan to build the headquarters park was too petty. With a stroke of a pen, he would invest 1 billion!

Moreover, this 1 billion yuan is only the first phase of the project. A large area of ​​land will be set aside, and the second phase of the project will be built in the future. It has even been agreed with the local government that the second phase of the project will build a landmark building, costing at least 20

100 million.

What is this for?

Is Ziweixing a technology company or a real estate company?

Isn’t that too unreliable?

What’s the point of doing this kind of face-saving project?

This is also different from what was said during the original A-round financing negotiations, which is equivalent to deceiving investors.

This resulted in the management having great opinions.

He Yang said sincerely: "Wang Haoyang has been very anxious during this period. He keeps explaining to investors that he will tighten expenditures and use every penny wisely. But starting an overseas strategy rashly is risky.

It’s too big, and for investors, a lot of money is wasted.”

"Wasting nothing? That's not true, is it?" Zhou Buqi snorted.

He Yang smiled bitterly and said: "Capital only cares about profits, not feelings, big boss! You would rather give up part of the domestic market for overseas markets. This is the big picture. But capital doesn't care about these. The domestic market is the immediate benefit, and there is no reason."

Give up. If we launch an overseas strategy, they will definitely not agree."

"What can I do if I don't agree?"

"Maybe they will withdraw their investment."

"Stop talking."

Zhou Buqi curled his lips, not believing it at all.

Withdrawal means that the remaining funds can only be withdrawn in proportion, and the money spent will be spent, which is equivalent to stopping the loss and exiting. In this situation, no one will foolishly withdraw from Ziweixing.

He Yang said: "At least in terms of reputation, it will hit us. We welcome domestic investment institutions to participate, just to improve Ziweixing's favorability in the domestic venture capital circle and produce longer-term positive effects. If it is not handled well,

Our good intentions may turn into bad comments.”

"As a human being, you really shouldn't be too kind!"

"Not only the investors, but also our internal staff would not agree. Each of the senior executives was in charge of their own business and they were all very busy. When I came back, I saw Wang Haiyang. His eyes were bloodshot. When I asked, I found out that he had two

I haven't slept for two days and nights, and I have to go to Hangzhou soon. Everyone is too busy, has no energy, and is not in the mood to pay attention to overseas affairs."

"Um."

Zhou Buqi nodded, vaguely convinced.

He Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Overseas strategy is very important. I also think Ziweixing should not be limited to the country. It should have the ambition to go overseas to compete with Silicon Valley giants. However, the time is not right now, and it should put all

Focus on the domestic market.”

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "I didn't want to rush abroad in a hurry. I definitely need to conduct market research in advance. Okay, I will handle this myself. Well, keep it a secret for now, so as not to upset people's minds.

"

He Yang felt funny in his heart.

Isn't the big boss very smart? He is not confused at all. He also knows that going overseas to stir up trouble at this stage will definitely do more harm than good and is a self-defeating approach.

After sending He Yang away, Zhou Buqi sighed, feeling very unwilling.

Time waits for no one!

The best breakthrough point for Ziweixing to develop overseas markets is social networking. But in a year or two, the two giants Facebook and Twitter will penetrate deeply into the Korean and Japanese markets. It will be too difficult to compete with them for territory.

.

More importantly, the mobile era is coming.

If you can have a PC-side traffic-draining website, you can have an advantage in the mobile era and develop better and faster.

Compared with the PC era, the earning power of the mobile era has increased dozens to hundreds of times.

After a month of hard work on Friends.com, the advertising fee was only over 100 million.

Later, the advertising fee for WeChat Moments exceeded 100 million per day.

Another point is that developed countries are richer.

Weibo and Twitter are the same products. The difference is that Weibo is more commercialized, with more advertisements, more promotions, and various hot searches and marketing accounts. Twitter is relatively restrained and does not have too many advertisements.

The user experience is better.

But even so, the value each user brings to Weibo is less than a quarter of that of Twitter.

Leeks in developed countries grow tall and are a pleasure to harvest.

It’s a bit narrow-minded to only focus on the domestic leeks.

But what He Yang said makes sense.

At this stage, Ziweixing cannot afford to open a new front.

Ning Yaxian saw him sitting in the executive chair with his eyes closed and meditating, so she quietly made a cup of green tea and tentatively whispered: "Boss, can I talk to you?"

"Huh?" Zhou Buqi opened his eyes, "What? Do you want an injection?"

Ning Yaxian was angry and funny, "It's not about injections. I want to talk about overseas affairs."

"oh?"

"When we develop overseas business, we start in Japan, right?"

"Well, Japan is a good choice. SoftBank is our investor. Kingsoft has done a good job there and has accumulated a lot of experience. We can ask them for help. Moreover, the Japanese market is also friendlier and less difficult than the Korean market.
