Top of the big era

Zhou Buqi chatted with Lao Ma until after three o'clock in the morning.

The main reason is the development of the technology industry under the economic crisis.

Recently, Silicon Valley has been wailing.

It is not the domestic media that are bad-mouthing, but American experts, scholars and financial magazines are expressing their worries. They believe that the development of Silicon Valley has encountered a huge crisis.

Mainly manifested in three levels.

First, innovation declines.

Affected by the economic crisis, venture capital institutions are no longer willing to provide high-risk investment for startups in Silicon Valley, even if the investment tends to be Web2.0 and other types of companies that require relatively little capital and relatively low risk factors. However, such companies do not have many new technological breakthroughs, and it is difficult for them to make significant contributions to the improvement of labor productivity.

Some business operators in Silicon Valley today are short-sighted and unambitious. Some people cobble together something without capital or technology, and then go to attract attention and sell advertisements. The ultimate goal is to sell it at a good price, rather than thinking about building a truly valuable enterprise through long-term efforts.

Second, the unemployment rate is serious.

The unemployment rate in the United States has exceeded 6%, while the unemployment rate in California has exceeded 11%. Silicon Valley in California has the highest unemployment rate, nearly 12%. A recession is inevitable.

Third, age discrimination.

Among them is Facebook's Zuckerberg, who is so young that he loves to tell the truth. He made a public statement last year, saying that "young people are smarter".

Facebook is also the youngest big company in Silicon Valley, only 27 years old.

Other companies are similar. The average age of dynamic companies such as Google, LinkedIn, Twitter, eBay, and Blizzard is less than 30 years old. Apple and Qualcomm are around 30 years old. Only some old-fashioned companies that lack creativity, such as EMC, Oracle, Yahoo, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, etc., have an average age of more than 35 years old.

The general quality of Silicon Valley is very high, and there is almost no problem of racial discrimination and gender discrimination. In Silicon Valley, the most prosecuted discrimination cases are age discrimination, which is more than the sum of those two cases.

Recently, many similar articles have been published in the United States.

In fact, it is hoped that the federal government and the California government can introduce various policies to improve the general environment of Silicon Valley, give more subsidies to the computer industry, train more computer talents, reduce tax burdens, and rejuvenate Silicon Valley.

Zhou Buqi was very emotional while talking about this topic.

This is amazing!

It feels so familiar!

It is simply a replica of the domestic technology industry in the next few years. The difference is that what China is looking for is industrial upgrading, while what Silicon Valley is worried about is industrial downgrading.

To achieve this, it is not enough to rely on the appeal of a few people, and a broader consensus must be reached. With the current technological environment in China, it is obvious that there is no such awareness.

We will have to wait at least another ten years, the increase will slow down, and the stock will have to be further tapped before it is possible to spend money on more risky projects. At that time, the inevitable result was a slowdown in economic growth.

Because the family members were all on vacation, Zhou Buqi indulged for a while and spent the night at Zhang Yuqi's place. Because she wetted the bed, she tossed and went to another bedroom halfway, and fell asleep only after it was dawn.

The next afternoon, Zhou Buqi went to the company.

"Congratulations!"

As soon as she entered the office, she saw Ning Yaxian winking.

"What's wrong?"

"look!"

Ning Yaxian took out a magazine, which was the Hurun Report.

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "How many people have congratulated me, the richest man. By the way, when is Tsinghua University's speech?"

"the day after tomorrow."

"Headache."

"I've written the manuscript for you, can you read it?"

"What subject?"

Zhou Buqi went to sit behind the desk and picked up the manuscript.

Ning Yaxian said with a smile: "It's about responsibility and choice. Firstly, it can show your status, and secondly, it can also encourage those top students of Tsinghua University to choose between their interests and ideals."

Zhou Buqi looked down at the speech, and suddenly a phone call came.

It is a senior leader surnamed Pang from the propaganda outlet.

It is said that this year marks the 30th anniversary of my country's reform and opening up, and the national economy has taken off. The contribution of a group of reform pioneers is indispensable. The official intends to give a commendation and select the 30 most important figures who have contributed to the promotion of my country's economic growth since the reform and opening up.

Because of Ziweixing's business, Zhou Buqi was also familiar with him, so he frowned slightly, "Old Pang, what is this?"

Leader Pang looked very apologetic, "Mr. Zhou, this is the meaning of the superior, and I ask your opinion. Of course, if you insist on asking, we will definitely attend, and your contribution is also world-renowned..."

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, "Leader, have you misunderstood?"

"Um?"

Leader Pang was slightly taken aback.

Zhou Buqi laughed and said: "Old Pang, how old am I? So many business seniors have risen and fallen under the wave of reform and opening up, and under the multiple pressures of policies and laws full of uncertainties, they have propped up a piece of the national economy. God, when they were fighting, I wasn't born yet! If you are willing to give me this quota, I can't take it."

Leader Pang was very happy, and said with a smile: "I knew it, you are the most enlightened! I'm really afraid of what you think. It's easy to say that you can be so generous! You are now famous, and you are famous in all departments. , and require full cooperation with your 'going out' strategy to drive the general direction of the domestic technical service industry."

Zhou Buqi said: "It's all a false name, it's meaningless, it still depends on what you do."

Leader Pang sighed, "It would be great if everyone had your awareness."

Zhou Buqi could guess that the selection of this kind of list will involve all aspects and is very complicated, so he asked with a smile, "It's hard to choose?"

Leader Pang said: "Yes, there are really too many people who are qualified to be on the list. There must be private entrepreneurs, and the main leaders of important state-owned enterprises. There are also economists and social leaders who have made important theoretical contributions. There will also be some iconic front-line officials. Now there are more than 120 people on the list, and it will be troublesome to remove any one."

Zhou Buqi took the initiative to say: "Remove my name. Whether it is an official, an entrepreneur or an economist, they are all seniors. It is not appropriate to put me, a young man, on it."

"That's fine, that's it..."

"etc!"

"Um?"

"Old Pang, I heard that our ministry is going to cooperate with the literature and history department to release a gift film for the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China?"

Leader Pang smiled and said, "Yes, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China". Don't even think about this film, it can only be produced by China Film."

Zhou Buqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What's your name? I also want to help."

"How to help?"

"To shoot "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", we needed a lot of cityscapes and streetscapes from the period of the Republic of China. They were basically demolished in China. I talked with Mr. Han of China Film Group, and he said that he would try his best to find replacements. .”

Leader Pang was a little dizzy, "Mr. Zhou, what do you mean?"

Zhou Buqi said: "What I mean is that "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is a gift film, and it is also a work of patriotic education. Since it is patriotic education, it would be a pity to use special effects to make it. The shooting venue can also become a patriotic education base in the next operation."

It’s okay if you don’t say anything, but Leader Pang was even more dizzy when he said this, “Mr. Zhou, just tell me! If you need help, just ask! You are protecting animals now!”

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "That's right, my hometown is in Spring City. It just so happened that a movie about the Nanjing Massacre was shot in my hometown recently. The director was very ambitious and built a city. Of course, the funds are limited. , the scale is very small. I think this idea is very good. The cityscape of the Republic of China period is too important for the presentation of film and television works. I plan to invest in this project and build a large film and television base with patriotic themes in my hometown. That is The old revolutionary base is the place where the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance is located."

Leader Pang tentatively asked: "Do you want to make a film and television base with revolutionary themes?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, in addition to improving the city of Nanjing, several key cities such as Chongqing, Yan'an, Beiping, Guangzhou, and Shanghai can also be built. In the future, there will be domestic film and television works with similar themes. Went there to shoot."

"By the way, drive the hometown economy? Create tourism value and film and television industry value?"

"right."

"Although Mr. Zhou is young, his mind is admirable."

Leader Pang couldn't help feeling emotional, if his son could have half the level and ideological awareness of Mr. Zhou, he would wake up laughing while sleeping.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Then help?"

Leader Pang said angrily: "This is a business, and all departments must give the green light. Don't worry, I will personally help you with the project approval!"

It is easy to build a film and television base, but the theme of the Red Revolution requires more departments to approve it. It is best to get some privileges.

For example, TV dramas cast at the old revolutionary film and television base in Spring City can be approved on the spot, and the relevant departments can set up a branch in the past. After approval, you can start shooting.

The crew does not need to run the process back and forth.

With such preferential conditions, the crew can be better attracted to the past.

After making a phone call here, Ning Yaxian twisted her waist, stepped on high heels, walked over charmingly, and whispered: "The latest news, Baidu Helo is online."

"oh."

Zhou Buqi looked very calm.

This little thing is really not worth paying attention to.

After finishing the speech at Tsinghua University, I have to go to Silicon Valley quickly. When I went to the United States last month, I only did half of the work in Silicon Valley, and I was threatened by Ballmer to go to Hollywood.

This time in the past, the rest of the work has to be done.

In addition to the mergers and acquisitions of Google and Admob, there are new tasks, such as researching Hulu, which is very important. Ziweixing's layout hope in the video industry may depend on Hulu.

There is also Elon Musk, who is crying and is about to die from being suppressed by capital.
