From this perspective, Zhou Buqi feels that he is better than all his peers in China.

No matter what you do, you must first have a correct understanding.

Only with correct understanding can we make the right choice. Only with the right choice can we make the next efforts and hard work effective.

If you make a wrong perception or make a wrong choice, it will be very difficult to change it if you find it wrong in the future.

Zhou Buqi's understanding of the Internet is actually his persistence in technology, which is his choice between the Lenovo model and the Huawei model.

It just so happens that domestic Internet companies all follow the Lenovo model.

This is obviously wrong.

Comparing the Internet industries in China and the United States, the internal logic is different. The internal logic of Silicon Valley is technological innovation; the domestic Internet logic is innovation of business models.

For example, Amazon's cloud computing, catalyzed by e-commerce, is a technological innovation; for example, Google's deep learning network, catalyzed by image search, is also a technological innovation.

In China, more people are playing with business models.

Use better business models to build your own moat, from QR code payment to online ride-hailing, from food delivery to Internet finance.

Each has pros and cons.

The advantage of the domestic side is that it can use better business models to achieve the best products and services. Many domestic website and app designs are much better than those in Silicon Valley. Taobao is the best e-commerce platform in the world, and WeChat

It is no worse than any instant messaging product in the world.

But here comes the problem.

What kind of moat can there be for business model innovation? Once you make it, others can do it right away. Without a creative moat, technological innovation is different. Others can’t learn it even if they want to.

Only by positioning the core of an enterprise as technology can it have the greatest competitiveness and vitality.

A particularly important point is that domestic Internet companies are keen on innovating business models, largely because the relevant departments have acquiesced in monopoly.

The business models of major companies all rely on monopoly logic.

Once the time is right and the regulatory authorities begin to wield their swords, every one of these giants will suffer.

Sooner or later, we will have to fight anti-monopoly in China.

The ultimate destination for the giants must be to follow the footsteps of Silicon Valley, move from business model innovation to technological innovation, and use powerful technology as a moat.

In fact, it is another kind of monopoly.

Monopoly of business models is prohibited; technology monopoly is legal and compliant, and even needs to be supported and protected by the whole world. This is to protect intellectual property rights.

Monopoly is the ultimate secret to making big money in business.

If you want to have a monopoly, you must not break the law. You must work hard at the technical level.

Ziweixing’s positioning is to be a technologically innovative company.

If you want to make the best technology, you must have the best talents.

Silicon Valley can bring together talents from all over the world, but there is no such environment in China. The only way is to go abroad. Go to South Korea, Japan, Europe and the United States to establish R&D centers, and hire local senior talents for my use.

Huawei is already leading the way with this model.

It has been a difficult journey, but we have accumulated experience and can be regarded as a pioneer. This year we successfully opened up the German market, which is equivalent to conquering the entire Europe.

Most of Huawei's technological innovations in the next few years will come from overseas scientific research institutions, while domestic ones will be responsible for some auxiliary and marginalized technological explorations.

If Ziweixing does this, it will have a unique advantage that belongs to the Internet.

Communication technology has craftsmanship. Even if you master the technical principles, if you don't have precision and equipment, you can't do it. You can only let foreigners do it.

The Internet is different, technology is code.

Once you get it, you get it.

Some of Ziweixing's achievements in overseas scientific research institutions can be seamlessly connected with domestic ones, thus maximizing the synergy of related technologies between China and foreign countries to maximize the effect.

Why can Baidu challenge the world's giants in the field of artificial intelligence?

Because Baidu invested heavily to build a Baidu Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in Silicon Valley. Only by staying at the forefront of the times and rationally utilizing global resource advantages can we continue to develop our technological mission.

It is impossible to challenge the Silicon Valley giants only by relying on domestic technical strength.

But this matter cannot be rushed.

Ziweixing's domestic science and technology departments, Ziweixing Engineering Institute and Ziweixing Research Institute, have not even completed the construction of their headquarters, and there are no branches in the country.

Zhou Buqi said: "Now that I have mentioned this, I will say a few more words. The overseas strategy must not be shaken. This time we are going to war with Penguin in the social field. Regardless of success or failure, the overseas strategy must not be changed. This time the distribution

The page loading system is a great opportunity. This system is different from an open platform."

Xu Liangjie came back from the United States. He knows how powerful Silicon Valley's technology is and he agrees with Boss Zhou's point of view. "Although we sold the last open platform to external parties, the audience for this system was relatively small. Page loading system

It's different. It's very necessary for any website. Especially for some well-known websites with high traffic, it is almost a must-have system."

Shen Xiangyang pondered: "This system... is not too technically difficult, at least not for Silicon Valley. The main thing is creativity. Now that the product is online, creativity is no longer an advantage. With the technical level of Silicon Valley, it is very difficult."

We can follow up soon. But in several other markets, we can still maintain our technological advantages."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and said, "Silicon Valley doesn't need to think about it. Let's fix the markets in China, Japan and South Korea first. The European and American markets are too difficult, and that is Silicon Valley's base camp. Our goal is to make the Asian market the base camp of Ziweixing."

The huge success of this distributed page loading system gave great confidence to several top executives, especially the two returnees Xu Liangjie and Shen Xiangyang.

It seems that it is about to break out of Asia and go global.

He Yang coughed lightly and reminded: "This is a commendation meeting."

The crowd roared with laughter.

Next, Wang Haiyang gave out the reward results in accordance with the company's regulations - 1 million in cash plus 1 million shares of stock.

The reward standards are the same as Shi Jinglin’s last month.

Give more money and let Cheng Binghao improve his life.

The stock cannot be liquidated, and he has a considerable net worth, but not much money left in his hands. Give him more cash, and at least he can pay for his children's tuition for a high-end kindergarten.

After the vote, the proposal was passed.

After this incident, Zhou Buqi asked again: "The price of this system is low?"

Cheng Binghao said: "It depends on the market demand. Now we are exclusive, and the price of a single set is about 4 million, which is not high. The main reason is that we have a broad customer audience. These domestic websites are short of money, and the high price is not suitable."

"

He Yang asked: "Is this a form of buyout?"

"right."

"What about leasing? The rent is 700,000-800,000 a year. Just like many software, you have to pay a service fee every year and buy and sell it in the long term."

Cheng Binghao said: "It's difficult. Technology is developing too fast. I think in three or four years, even domestic companies will be able to build this system independently. The best result is to buy out

For sale in the form, we promise to provide 3 years of free after-sales service.”

The meaning is very clear, take advantage of the situation when others can't do it, and quickly take advantage of it in the form of buyout.

Just like many of the routines of Silicon Valley giants.

After a few years, most other domestic companies will be able to do it... they can just be honest. If anyone dares to compete with Ziweixing for business, then the table will be turned over.

Ziweixing can stand on a higher dimension and directly open source this system with noble sentiments.

Share it with all peers for free.

Xu Liangjie said: "In the final analysis, the foundation of this system is distributed. The Academy of Engineering must seize this opportunity, use our leadership in the distributed field, and put more energy into this aspect."

Cheng Binghao said: "Yes, the next thing the Engineering Academy will start to fully launch is the scheduling and monitoring system to coordinate the relationship between servers and maintain the stability of the website..."

Next, there is a series of technical discussions.

Zhou Buqi felt dizzy.

He Yang, Wang Haiyang, and Nie Caijun were also drowsy.

Fortunately, I generally understand it.

Next, they plan to take advantage of the cutting-edge distributed technology to develop more distributed systems to improve and optimize the performance of the website.

Help colleagues improve their websites and make their websites better.

It's a bit like cutting leeks.

It comes in waves, one crop is cut when it is longer, and one crop is cut when it is longer.

The last question is very critical.

"Should we sell our system to Penguin?"

"Not for sale."

Zhou Buqi's response was straightforward.

Cheng Binghao nodded and said he understood. Although from the perspective of Ziweixing Engineering Institute, the more customers the better, especially such big customers.

But as company veterans and m8-level executives, we must look at issues from the perspective of corporate strategy.

Zhou Buqi said calmly: "Currently, Weidian is still providing technical support for Sosou, and we also need to provide some after-sales services for the open platform. These are all required by the contract. Apart from this, all cooperation with them is suspended.
To be continued...
