Top of the big era

the next morning.

Everyone eats breakfast together and then splits up.

It's time to play, it's time to work.

After breakfast, Ning Yaxian quietly pulled her sister aside, and asked in a low voice, "We were with your brother-in-law last night?"

"Um!"

Ning Yameng's face turned hot, and she quickly responded.

Ning Yaxian nodded lightly, and instructed: "Take advantage of this holiday, hurry up and conceive, be gentle, be more coquettish, and give birth early..."

"Oh my sister, I know all about it."

Ning Yameng was a little impatient with her sister's chatter.

Ning Yaxian said sternly: "Be serious, this is the most important thing."

"Yeah, it's important."

"Did you thank him when it was over?"

"Um."

"You're always ummmm, are you thankful?"

"Thank you!"

Ning Yameng was speechless, not complaining to her sister, but she was a little embarrassed about this kind of thing, even if she was her own sister, she was too embarrassed to say more.

But Ning Yaxian didn't care about these things anymore, she had already seen it, and since she was her own younger sister, she had nothing to hide, so she kept asking: "What did you say?"

Ning Yameng coyed for a while, and then said in a low voice: "I said, 'Brother-in-law, you have worked hard', and he said, 'No hard work'. I said, 'Thank you, brother-in-law', and he said, 'You're welcome'. Anyway, it's quite harmonious."

Ning Yaxian stared angrily, "It's gone?"

"Ah?" Ning Yameng was slightly taken aback, "Didn't you teach me to say that?"

Ning Yaxian hated iron for being weak, "I just gave you an example, so you won't draw inferences? Do you need me to teach you about this kind of thing? You are also a girl in her twenties and she is about to have a baby and become a mother." Now, don't you understand?"

Ning Yameng was very dissatisfied, "Sister, why do you always teach me a lesson, he likes me very much, no worse than you, I can feel it."

"I..." Ning Yaxian was a little mad, looked around, and then lowered her voice to the lowest level, "Stupid girl, are you really stupid or fake? My sister is teaching you to fight for favor! No matter how much he likes you , can you still compare to Xue Baoshan and Wu Yu?"

Ning Yameng's momentum was a bit weak, "It's no match."

Ning Yaxian said: "Then why don't you behave well?"

Ning Yameng said in embarrassment: "What else do you want from me? I did what you said. Obviously, I helped him give birth to a child. I still want to thank him. It's not fair at all."

"How can there be so much fairness?"

"Then what should I do?"

"Choose something nice to say."

"How do you say it?"

Ning Yaxian was speechless, so she could only say: "Please please him, 'Brother-in-law, I love you', 'Brother-in-law, you are wonderful', 'Brother-in-law, I want to give birth to you'... Just choose nice words to say, it's useless Do I teach?"

Ning Yameng blushed brightly and said "Oh".

"What's there to be shy about? How old are you?" Ning Yaxian glared at her again, "Okay, think about it later, you won't even compete for favor."

The whispers between relatives and sisters are inevitably somewhat selfish.

In front of everyone, Ning Yaxian became that big sister who was respected by everyone again. She is intellectual, gentle and well-measured. Originally, she was the big secret, and she arranged today's schedule in an orderly manner.

Because the headquarters of SAP is in a small county town next to Stuttgart, after the plane arrives, you have to transfer. This is another disadvantage of small planes.

If it is a medium or large aircraft, it can be loaded directly into a car.

After the plane stops, just drive the car out of the plane, get in the car and travel.

Fortunately, SAP's general affairs department also arranged very thoughtfully, and specially sent an administrative director to pick them up at the airport and take them back with them.

This time I came here mainly to go through the process and get familiar with each other.

SAP is a world-class software giant. Let Zhou Buqi take a look around, but he can't learn anything. It is still necessary to establish a friendly relationship between the two parties through this investigation and draw a thread.

The company SAP is engaged in enterprise-level business, and ordinary people have not heard much about it, but in the industry, it is a software giant with the same reputation as Microsoft and Oracle, and it is the largest technology company in Europe.

Microsoft's software is used by the world's top 500 companies and small and medium-sized enterprises all over the world;

Oracle's software is used by the world's top 500 companies;

SAP's software is used by 80% of the world's top 500 companies.

In other words, SAP is the third in the world.

If domestic office software wants to rise, it can only challenge Microsoft directly, and it can only be limited to the stage of shouting slogans, and there will be no chance for decades.

Microsoft's products have 100% worldwide coverage.

It is even impossible to surpass Oracle. Oracle's products have 100% coverage in large companies.

This is already a solidified monopoly pattern.

There is no corner overtaking in technology improvement, it can only be advanced step by step, and the development process must be from easy to difficult. Among the three major software giants, if they want to break through, they also start from SAP, and they must "learn from the barbarian to control the barbarian".

Only 80% of the world's large companies use SAP's software, which means that they do not have an absolute monopoly in this field, and there are substitutes in the market.

The first thing domestic office software should do is to strive to enter the ranks of this substitute.

Instead of directly challenging a world-class complex project like MS Office.

Under the leadership of Zhang Yiming, Ziweixing has established a new enterprise service department, which specializes in providing toB services. With cloud computing projects, there must be many kinds of office software, including Weishu and Weidian notes. , public intranet, Feitian database and other products. The next step for development is to enter the field of ERP software. You can try to do simple things by yourself, and rely on SAP for complicated ones.

Well, we must put Siapula on Ziweiyun's platform!

Ten years later, Microsoft Cloud gradually came from behind and became the world's second largest cloud computing vendor, with the gap with Amazon getting smaller and smaller. It is because Microsoft has more office software and a more complete office ecosystem. On the Microsoft cloud, developers can directly call Microsoft software on the cloud, which is convenient and fast, which is an advantage that Amazon does not have.

Ziweixing also does not have such an advantage.

Plan ahead.

Establish an in-depth relationship with SAP in advance, which is a German company. Germany is the core of the European Union, while the EU and the United States are its biggest competitors. Ziweixing and SAP cooperate to counter the Silicon Valley giants, and there is an economic basis for cooperation between the two parties.

By bringing SAP's products to Ziwei Cloud, Ziwei Cloud will have an office ecosystem that can compete with Microsoft Cloud in the future, and it will also have more product resources and development potential than Amazon Cloud.

After going to SAP, the feeling is really different!

The working atmosphere of large companies in Silicon Valley is relaxed, even a little loose, and employees can be seen laughing and chatting everywhere. It's different here, the atmosphere is more serious, the restraint is strong, and no smile is seen on everyone's face.

One thing in particular caught Zhou Buqi's attention.

He chatted with a few people casually. No matter who they were, the other party's English was very good, and they could answer him fluently. It can be seen that the background of internationalization is very strong, far surpassing any domestic technology company.

Later, Zhou Buqi met SAP's current chairman of the board of directors, chairman of the board of supervisors, CEO, president and others. I also met Mr. Dietmar Hope, the founder and big boss who has retired to the second line.

Then, start chatting about football.

Mr. Hope said one thing that made him feel very embarrassed.

His team, Hoffenheim, was just a small team in the Bundesliga. After he retired to the second tier in 2005, he focused on bringing this team to the Bundesliga.

The first thing to do is to find a good coach.

I searched a circle, but there is no suitable one. Coincidentally, at this time, I found out that a coach who came back from China was applying for the job. His name was Rangnick. This person went to apply for the head coach of the Chinese Olympic team, but was dismissed by the Football Association because he was not good enough.

Mr. Hope thought that this man was very football-minded and an academic football professor, so he appointed him as the head coach of Hoffenheim, and then a miracle happened.

Hoffenheim goes up one level every year and keeps skipping levels.

This year, Hoffenheim has been promoted to the Bundesliga, and as a newly promoted team, it has overwhelmed Bayern, Dortmund and other giants.

Sitting in Mr. Hope's small office, Zhou Buqi felt helpless and could only stiffly shift the topic to Manchester United.

I like to talk about football, but it is best not to talk about the national team.

Old man Hope, the German guy, feels a bit stubborn, and he speaks without turning, "Manchester United? Did you buy Manchester United?"

"not yet."

"Then what are you talking about?"

"I'm going to buy it."

Hope shook his head, "As long as the contract is not signed, any accident may happen. Manchester United is a big club, and the transaction is not that simple."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "It's more complicated. The third negotiation will be held the day after tomorrow. I will personally come forward and try to win this time."

"Oh?" Old Man Hope's eyes flashed, "To be finished?"

Zhou Buqi was full of confidence, "Almost."

"It should be expensive, right? Americans are not very easy to deal with."

"It's very expensive."

"I was playing football when I was your age, times change so fast."

Hope sighed, quite emotional that such a young man could sit with him and talk about business. The Internet has really made a group of young people.

Zhou Buqi tested the invitation, "Mr. Hope, can I invite you to attend the negotiations the day after tomorrow?"

"Me? Really?"

Mr. Hope was a little surprised. He has retired to the second line, so he is usually very leisurely. He has not been involved in SAP's business much, and his main energy is on football.

When it comes to football, a super giant like Manchester United is an unavoidable hurdle.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "I would be very honored if you could take the time to say a few words to the Glazer family for me."

The old man Hope shook his head, "I have never dealt with the Glazer family, but... His family's business should also use SAP's software. If you really invite, I will go over."

"Of course, of course it's true!"

Zhou Buqi's business is under the sun, there are no shady secrets, and he is not afraid of outsiders getting involved. When negotiating, the more business leaders in one's camp, the greater the right to speak. This is a negotiation routine he learned in the United States. Every time there is a big business negotiation, a group of bigwigs are asked to go to the platform.

The old man Hope has great influence in the European business circle and is also the owner of a football club. Regardless of what the Glazer family thinks, at least the Manchester United board of directors has seen it and will take a high look at this new boss.
