The day after returning to Beijing, Zhou Buqi received a call from Zhang Chaoyang. He said that he would set up a table at the Capital Hotel and invite Internet colleagues to have a meal and get together.

This guy no longer has any desires. He lives a much more leisurely life every day than Zhou Buqi. He is definitely enjoying his life.

All kinds of activities in the circle are organized by this idler.

Zhou Buqi attended.

Most of our colleagues from the capital came here, including Dangdang and Baidu’s Er Li, as well as CEOs from Sina, Yingcai.com, Ctrip and other companies, as well as business leaders from foreign companies such as Microsoft and IBM.

Eat, drink, and talk about industry trends.

The stock market crash is coming!

The Dow Jones Index suffered a historic plunge.

Nasdaq also collapsed.

Not to mention A-shares, they have plummeted a long time ago.

The economic crisis is coming!

There is no way to save the market anymore.

Last year, major central banks around the world were bailing out the market and frantically putting watermarks on banknotes, creating a wave of artificial bull markets around the world.

Now, the bubble has burst and is about to collapse!

Will it be like what happened at the turn of the century? IT companies are collectively finished?

Very worried!

Breaking news has come from the United States. Microsoft's acquisition of Yahoo, which has been rumored for many years, is finally coming true! Rumors have leaked out that in the next few days, Microsoft will make a formal offer for Yahoo to complete the merger.

Yahoo's market value has dropped to about US$30 billion, but it is still one of the top three Internet giants in the world. If even Yahoo cannot sustain it, where will these domestic Internet companies go?

Both first-tier and second-tier companies, including Dangdang, have stated that they will tighten their spending, secure their wallets, and tide over the difficulties.

Once the economic crisis really breaks out, a large number of Internet companies will die. This is certain. At this time, cash is king.

Whoever has more cash in their account will be more tenacious and more competitive.

In this regard, Dangdang has always done well.

Baidu has a big business and abundant cash flow, so it is naturally not afraid. Mr. Li also said with a smile: "Risk means opportunity. Whoever can grasp it can rush forward."

Zhang Chaoyang immediately answered, "So you want to make a chat software?"

Li Yanhong said: "I wanted to do it last year, but I was deceived."

"Um?"

Colleagues who didn't know the inside story opened their eyes wide and were very curious.

Can you deceive Mr. Li?

This level is extraordinary!

Is it the one from Ali? Well, it's very possible. The relationship between the two brothers has never been very good.

Zhou Buqi couldn't sit back and watch his reputation be damaged. He coughed lightly and said solemnly: "Robin, I don't like hearing what you say. I advised you not to make a chat software last year. It was all out of good intentions."

"Well……"

In the box, everyone was shocked.

Big eyes and small eyes.

What's going on?

Xiao Zhou deceived Lao Li? Big news!

Ha ha!

interesting!

Li Yanhong was indignant and said displeasedly: "Baidu solicited the names of chat software from netizens last year. You didn't let Baidu do it out of good intentions, and I believed it. But you turned around and launched helo. What does this mean?"

Zhou Buqi said calmly: "Because Ziweixing is a company that focuses on social networking, making a chat software is a natural thing, with low risk and high success rate. Facts have also proved that helo is indeed doing well."

Li Yanhong shook his head and didn't think so. "Helo's success stems from the strong traffic of Ziweixing. Baidu happens to have no shortage of traffic. If Baidu wants to do..."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and interrupted him, "Old Li, you are just being idealistic."

Li Yanhong said: "Stop talking about this! Just because you have done well in the social field, I believed your suggestion and did not make a chat software last year. The result? Baidu missed a good opportunity, but Ziweixing made its own helo

Already."

Zhou Buqi was not very happy, "Boss Li, you are boring. You lack an objective stance and you take things for granted."

Li Yanhong said solemnly: "I am very objective!"

Everyone was elated when they heard it.

Most of the people working in this field are men from science and engineering. Each one is more showy than the other. They are very serious on the surface, but they are laughing inside. Two of the most successful Internet entrepreneurs in the industry are fighting each other. It’s great.

When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman gets the benefit!

Especially now that the economic crisis is approaching.

If Ziweixing and Baidu work together, maybe they can give second-tier companies like them some more breathing space.

Do it!

The more intense the better!

Heroes emerge from troubled times. The current Internet structure is too rigid. It is best to completely overturn this situation and start over again. Only then will new heroes emerge.

Zhou Buqi gave Li Yanhong a strange look.

I feel like something is wrong with him today.

This is not like his style. Why is it like taking a gun? This guy is quite elegant and has a gentlemanly demeanor.

Something moved in my heart.

Something immediately came to mind.

Poaching incident!

At first, Baidu poached a group of core members from on-campus group buying, which made Zhou Buqi very unhappy, so he did it for a while. Baidu gave up a lot of benefits and helped promote Toutiao for traffic, so the matter was settled.

This time, Baidu poached people from the gold coin wallet system again, poaching deputy director Li Xiaoyu.

Boss Li was planning ahead, fearing that Zhou Buqi would get angry over this matter and start a war with Baidu, so he had to take action first and stand on the moral high ground.

Especially by choosing an opportunity where so many colleagues in the industry are present, to reveal this matter is to use your reputation to complete moral kidnapping.

Zhou Buqi couldn't help but feel a little funny. He felt that he really underestimated himself and overestimated himself. You can't make a chat software and Baidu Hi is useless. You still don't believe it!

However, Zhou Buqi is good at kidnapping others with morals, but he doesn't like being kidnapped by others' morals, so he has to quickly regain the moral high ground.

"Mr. Li, your words are really full of loopholes." Zhou Buqi leaned back and hugged his shoulders, "I heard that your Baidu hi will be launched at the end of next month?"

Li Yanhong admitted, "Yes."

Zhou Buqi pouted, "Then there's a problem. With Baidu's strength, it's just a chat software. It can be built in less than a month. It just so happened that you poached my helo business just a few days ago.

A vice president. This is enough to show that your Baidu hi R&D team has just been formed and has just started operating."

Li Yanhong's face was dull, "This doesn't mean anything."

Zhou Buqi said coldly: "It doesn't mean anything? Helo was launched on November 1st last year. If I really lied to you, you should have felt deceived when helo was launched, and you should be very angry.

The chat software plan should be restarted immediately, and it should be launched in December. But what is the result? Baidu hi’s team has just been formed.”

This is a contradiction.

Everyone here is smart, and they all understand what Boss Zhou means. It seems that this matter may really be caused by Baidu.

Li Yanhong is not a speaker and is not very good at words, so her expression is unnatural. "Last year, our energy was focused on other businesses. I went back and forth to Japan several times. Now I have just found some time."

Zhou Buqi didn't seem to hear, and said to himself: "Last month, helo and QQ made a big fuss, and everyone saw it. After many efforts, we finally broke the monopoly in this market. We

This is successful, and the Baidu hi project has been launched. Mr. Li, do you treat helo as a pawn? Now that the pawn has entered a square, you have become active? "

This sarcasm was a bit too much, so Zhang Chaoyang stood up to smooth things over and said with a smile: "It seems it's all a misunderstanding. It's okay to let it go. Come on, let's drink! Drink!"

In the business world, such a trivial matter is nothing!

Don't say it might be fake. Even if it's true, no one can say anything. This is the most normal thing.

It's just that Zhou Buqi is a master who doesn't suffer any losses.

Not giving up any moral ground.

Li Yanhong was a little embarrassed. What he had done just now was of course a deliberate design. He just wanted to seize the moral high ground, and under the gaze of so many colleagues, he hoped that Zhou Buqi could restrain himself.

Two things.

1. Don’t retaliate against Baidu for poaching people.

Second, don’t let Ziweixing’s traffic block Baidu hi.

Unexpectedly, he was easily resolved by this kid.
