Top of the big era

The future prospects of cloud computing are very huge, and like artificial intelligence, it is an important direction of future Internet technology.

This can be a highly integrated platform on the B side.

For example, the current business model of the famous accounting software Quickbooks in the United States is software payment, with an annual fee of US$200-300.

Individuals or businesses download software to their local computers and then pay for related services.

This is very troublesome.

Moreover, all data is stored in the local computer and cannot be used across platforms. Computer damage will also lead to data loss and economic losses.

Cloud computing platform can solve this problem.

Ziweiyun can cooperate with quickbooks and let the other party develop a quickbooks software based on the Ziweiyun system. Then, when Ziweiyun users use cloud services, they can use quickbooks software directly on the platform.

No download required, just open it and use it.

And it can be cross-platform and cross-device. Whether it is a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, or a mobile phone, as long as you log in to Ziweiyun's platform, you can use quickbooks services anytime and anywhere.

In fact, it is the SaaS concept based on cloud computing.

At that time, when the user orders the quickbooks software, Ziweiyun, as the platform, will get a commission. 300 US dollars a year, 50-70 US dollars in commission, it is a tax-collecting business.

The general logic is that it is the same as Apple making the iPhone, developing its own iOS system, and then launching the Apple Store to allow third-party developers to come and develop apps, and then take commissions from consumption.

The former is aimed at the B side, and the latter is aimed at the C side.

Large companies often have deep pockets, and can often purchase servers on a large scale by themselves, or even build a private cloud by themselves without using third-party cloud computing services.

Unless the technology is really not up to standard, only seek help from a third party.

For example, the domestic Spring Festival train ticket booking could not be solved after several years, so we had to ask Alibaba Cloud for help.

Under normal circumstances, the core business of large enterprises will not be entrusted to third-party platforms. Cloud computing mainly serves the emerging markets and edge businesses of large enterprises as well as small and medium-sized enterprises.

Alibaba's purpose is to serve small and medium-sized enterprises.

In this regard, it is necessary for both parties to deepen their cooperative relations.

AliExpress is just an excuse.

Zhou Buqi doesn't think Lao Ma can start this business in a short time. He can just earn some international fame and influence by fooling around, mainly targeting domestic small and medium-sized enterprises.

I hope to use Alibaba’s influence to help Ziweiyun attract customers.

Ziweiyun is now in trial operation in China.

Trial runs overseas will begin next year.

The great era of cloud computing can begin.

Zhou Buqi persuaded him with earnest words and good intentions, mainly for three reasons.

First, the investment in this industry is too big. With the current economic crisis, how can Ali have so much money?

Second, the technical content of this industry is too high. All domestic talents have been recruited by Ziweixing, and there is no one who wants to do it in Alibaba.

Third, when Taobao is holding an online shopping festival, just come to Ziwei Cloud to rent a server to cope with the explosive traffic growth. This year’s Double Eleven, Zi Weiyun can participate.

Boss Ma seemed to have been deceived and agreed with his statement.

The plane lands.

The driver drove a black Bentley out of the aircraft's trunk.

When Boss Ma saw this scene, he felt strangely mixed in his heart.

I think this is the style of a big boss!

Compared with this kid, he looks like he just came out of the village.

Zhou Bugo invited him to get on the bus and said with a smile: "Come and see my company? The headquarters park is still under construction. It is currently a three-story office building temporarily rented."

"where?"

“It’s right here in San Jose, the heart of Silicon Valley!”

"Just show off to me!"

Boss Ma was a little angry and sighed secretly.

Compared with other energetic young people, I am really a bit old.

After going to Ziweixing International, Zhou Buqi didn't let the company receive him, so he took Boss Ma around casually in several business areas without avoiding suspicion.

"Games?" When they came to the game area, Boss Ma was a little surprised, "Ziweixing also has a game business?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Social games are mainly placed on Facebook's open platform."

Boss Ma complained: "I definitely don't play games. My son plays games every day and has become an Internet addict. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to find connections to come to college."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "This is different. Have you never played "Happy Farm"?"

"No." Boss Ma didn't blush at all, "I don't know how to use a computer. The most I can do is send emails."

Zhou Buqi said amusedly: "You are the only one who still runs an Internet company."

Boss Ma didn't take this up and made a lot of money playing games, right?

Um.

How many?

"It will be about US$100 million this year."

"Earned 100 million U.S. dollars?" Boss Ma was very surprised, "Have you done so well in your overseas business?"

Zhou Buqi said: "The profit is US$100 million. There are now 7 web games here with more than 36 million users and annual revenue of more than US$300 million."

In fact, the most important thing is the built-in advertising fee of "Grab a Parking Space". The annual advertising fee from major car manufacturers around the world is US$100 million. This is the only profitable business in the company. Now all the rent, water, electricity, broadband, property and other expenses of this temporary headquarters are also deducted from this business, otherwise the profit may exceed 200 million US dollars.

This friend studio ranks second in the field of social games in the United States.

One of the most important purposes of Boss Ma's visit to the United States this time is to see what is believed and to see how far Zhou Xiaozi's overseas industry has gone.

Now I can see it.

It's really awesome.

A role model for my generation!

It has only been a few years, and the domestic market can no longer accommodate him! He really wants to compete aggressively with Silicon Valley giants in the international market!

Going upstairs, the girl at the front desk is a young and beautiful black girl.

Boss Ma greeted him with a smile and pointed to the big letters on the wall in surprise, "Helo?"

"Yes, this floor is Helo's office area."

"Why did you come to the United States?"

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi looked confused, "Helo, don't you know?"

Boss Ma said: "Isn't this a chat software that competes with QQ?"

Zhou Buqi looked at him deeply and said, "You really don't know that it is the overseas version of the mobile terminal! Lao Ma, what have you been busy with recently? I heard that you have been having a heated fight with Huayi recently? Is this the case? Are you going to enter the entertainment industry?"

"Nothing."

Boss Ma laughed and waved his hand.

Zhou Buqi said with good intentions and sincerity: "Lao Ma, we are friends. I have to tell you carefully. The entertainment industry is too chaotic and you can't control it. It's best to have less contact."

Boss Ma said angrily: "You don't have enough contact with the entertainment industry?"

Zhou Buqi said seriously: "I'm different from you, I can control it."

"You?" Boss Ma was angry and funny, "Can you control it?"

Half of the employees here are Chinese, and most of them can understand Chinese. Zhou Buqi dragged him to the office and said without blushing, "Yes, I can control the situation well. I can control it."

Boss Ma laughed angrily and said, "Don't think I don't know, have you had any issues with the actresses in "Dream of Red Mansions"?"

Zhou Buqi was helpless.

It wasn't that he was revealing his secrets, but that "Dream of Red Mansions" was so famous that the TV series attracted much attention from preparation to filming. There are a lot of gossips, and they are spreading rumors that many actresses have financial backers.

It just so happens that Jieyu Media is one of the investors in "Dream of Red Mansions".

For this kind of thing, even if there is no evidence, it is enough to just speculate.

Boss Ma must have heard about it in the industry.

Zhou Buqi hummed: "Don't listen to the wind, it's rain. There are many female stars approaching me, but I won't accept them. Besides, do you think I'm talking about picking up female stars? Even if I sleep with a few female stars, then So what? It’s not worth mentioning! Do you think I would pay attention to such a trivial matter?”

Boss Ma was slightly surprised, "Then what are you talking about?"

Zhou Buqi raised his hand, not wanting to talk too much about this topic, "That's all, you can go and go later. I'll call Lu Qi, and you can tell him about AliExpress. It's not a big problem!"

Boss Ma sneered a few times.

I feel like this bastard can really show off!

How humble and low-key you are when you are in China.

It's great now, I have learned to be an educator of life mentors.
