Top of the big era

Zhou Buqi was unanimously opposed by everyone, which is relatively rare.

In the past, when many strategic decisions were made, there would be different opinions, but there were always people who would follow him and support him. This time it was different. Even the guys like Guo Pengfei, Ji Zian, and Meng Houkun didn't support him.

The reason is simple.

When working on cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other projects in the past, Boss Zhou had a very firm attitude. He firmly believed that this was the right direction. Although Guo Pengfei and Ji Zian did not understand the direction of these projects, they believed in him and would give their full support.

But this time is different.

Lian Zhoubuqi’s attitude towards blockchain is ambiguous. How can everyone support it?

You can’t really speculate on concepts, right?

In fact, this is not a difference in business direction, but a difference in company culture. Everyone knows that corporate management systems and cultural construction are not the strong points of big bosses.

However, the face that should be given must still be given. Guo Pengfei said with a smile: "We will see the situation in a few years. If the direction of blockchain is really good, it is not impossible to give it a try."

He Yang said: "Of course you can give it a try, but Ziweixing is not a small company and cannot participate in nonsensical hype. In order to stand out, a small company can do anything without any burden. The hype of a large company must be a combination of reality and fiction. It also needs to be realistic.”

Zhou Buqi accepted this view.

This is really the case.

Small companies can only play with fictitious concepts and speculate on concepts, harvest whatever they can, and make a fortune if they can. If the reputation is ruined, the worst case scenario is to cancel the company and continue to hype the concept under another name.

A large company with a basic business base cannot do this. If the hype fails, the basic base will be ruined.

Even though Musk is shouting the super slogan "I want to go to Mars" and hyping it like crazy, this is not false. He is indeed doing a lot of practical things, launching rockets, and having a lot of skills that laymen can do in the field of aerospace engineering. Clear technological innovation.

Ziweixing is a large company and can obtain free public media resources by hyping concepts. However, this hype cannot be just an empty slogan like that of a small company. It must be followed up on pragmatic matters.

The trouble now is that Ziweixing’s domestic business does not need to be hyped, and it cannot be hyped. Virtual cryptocurrency has not been legally recognized in the country. In terms of overseas business, many directions are already stretched. We cannot devote more energy to researching blockchain, so we can just make good products such as Helo, UCgram, YikYak, UC Browser, and cloud computing.

Zhou Buqi sighed, "We still have to find ways to obtain free public media resources. This is the largest and most valuable advertisement. Many personal apps still need advertising to follow up."

Guo Pengfei smiled and said, "I have a way!"

"Um?"

"Ziweixing doesn't make hype, but Ziweixing can follow the trend."

"Isn't that different!"

"It's different. We are following the trend pragmatically, as long as we don't harvest."

Zhou Buqi was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Guo Pengfei was also very imaginative, "Didn't you say that the trend of cryptocurrency might become popular?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Well, the Bitcoin model is quite logical. As long as there is hype, it will soon gain public recognition. As long as Bitcoin is recognized, more and more virtual encryption will definitely appear in the market. currency."

Guo Pengfei said confidently: "Don't we have a gold coin wallet system? Users can earn gold coins by completing tasks on many websites and platforms under this system. After earning gold coins, they can withdraw cash in a unified way. If the concept of cryptocurrency becomes more popular, , we can follow the trend and exchange gold coins for cryptocurrencies. Users do not have to withdraw cash, they can use cryptocurrencies as investments, or they can trade on trading platforms. We are not speculating, but we can use the momentum of others’ speculation to make the hype The traffic coming out is pulled to our platform.”

"I go!"

Zhou Buqi is angry and funny.

Guo Pengfei looked strange, "Isn't it possible?"

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and said without doubt: "Don't think about it in China. Domestic financial policies are so strict. They must be centralized and must have state-owned financial institutions as the core. Not to mention the decentralization of blockchain currency, even non-state-owned financial institutions like Alipay are not allowed to become the center.”

Guo Pengfei said: "In foreign countries, the gold coin wallet model does not seem to be well recognized overseas. But if it is to reward cryptocurrency for completing tasks, it will be attractive. There is also a very important direction, which is game currency. If The game currency obtained by completing tasks in the next copy of the game can also be converted into cryptocurrency. Not only can it be consumed in the game, but it can also be extracted from the game to buy props in another game, or even sold on the trading platform. Buy or invest...well, I think this is the future direction of blockchain currency."

"I go!"

Zhou Buqi saw that this kid had a lot of imagination.

It's getting further and further away.

This is about to enter the metaverse!

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and withdrew completely, "Forget it, this is too far away. Let's end the blockchain matter here. Those who are interested can continue to pay attention, but within our company, we have put it on hold for the time being. Let's be honest for now. Do your current business well and don’t think too sci-fi.”

He Yang said with a smile: "Is it right to put it on hold? We still need to be down-to-earth. A pragmatic and striving value concept must be formed within the company."

Zhou Buqi didn't want to discuss this topic too much, "Then let's keep the status quo. By the way, I heard that Penguin has officially confirmed it? Do you want to do cloud computing?"

He Yang said: "Well, the whole country knows about it and is recruiting troops."

"Poaching our people?"

"Dig it."

He Yang's face didn't look good.

Zhou Buqi frowned, "Is it serious?"

He Yang said: "There are currently more than 20 of them, and the levels are not low. There are also a group of employees who once worked for us but later changed jobs and left."

Zhang Yiming said in a calm tone: "Several T7 and T6 level scientists have been poached. It's simple and crude, and the salary is directly doubled or tripled. The most difficult part of the development of new projects is the exploration stage. Now, Zi Weiyun has Now that we have landed, if Penguin wants to do cloud computing, we don’t need to explore as hard as we did in the past few years. We can just dig a few scientists over and walk the same path we have walked. It will probably only take a year. Their cloud computing platform can be launched for trial operation."

Ziweixing has worked hard for three or four years to achieve the technological achievements of Ziweiyun today.

Others learn from behind and can easily do it in a year.

It's really annoying and unfair.

Guo Pengfei snorted: "Why don't we start a war!"

Zhou Buqi laughed angrily and said, "What the hell, just do your thing honestly and don't be like Meng Houkun every day."

Guo Pengfei said angrily: "Then we can't just let it go, right?"

"What can we do if we don't let it go? There are no laws or regulations. This kind of latecomer advantage is the status quo of the industry. The domestic Internet industry can achieve such great success, isn't it also following the old path of Silicon Valley?"

"Then let's forget it?"

Guo Pengfei frowned, not believing that Mr. Zhou would let this matter go by so lightly. This is not his style!

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "If you ask me, Penguin wants to do cloud computing, it's a good thing!"
