Top of the big era

Jiang Shuying is also a little star who has not debuted much, but she is much better than Tang Yixin. First of all, her family background is very good. She has been rich and beautiful since she was a child, and she is fluent in English. She also went to a prestigious British university to improve her academic qualifications.

While shopping in London, Tang Yixin held her arm like a follower, full of curiosity about everything.

However, when it comes to Mr. Zhou, both of them are similar.

They all felt that Mr. Zhou was too mysterious.

She was so mysterious that she couldn't even figure out the relationship between the sister next to her and Mr. Zhou.

There can only be a rough guess.

In comparison, Jiang Shuying is smarter and better at making insinuations, "Have you made a lot of money by buying so many expensive clothes?"

"Um……"

Tang Yixin bit her lip gently and hesitated for a moment.

Jiang Shuying then asked: "Then you must have acted in many dramas, right? What are they? I'll take a look when I have time."

Tang Yixin was a little shy, "There is someone who has never acted in anything. He just filmed a costume film and it hasn't been aired yet."

Jiang Shuying looked very surprised, "Then where did you get so much money?"

"this……"

Tang Yixin hesitated.

Jiang Shuying smiled slightly and blinked, "Did Mr. Zhou give it to you?"

This isn't hard to guess at all.

Jiang Shuying didn't know Tang Yixin at all before. This time they went shopping together, and it was Mr. Zhou who was the mediator. Thinking of the relationship between himself and Mr. Zhou, it is not difficult to guess the relationship between the other party and Mr. Zhou.

I am asking now just to confirm.

Looking at Tang Yixin's face turning red and unable to speak, she most likely guessed it right.

Jiang Shuying took advantage of the situation and asked, "How much does Mr. Zhou give you a year?"

"Sister Shuying, don't embarrass me."

Tang Yixin looked pitiful. She didn't dare to say such things casually. She had nothing to do, she was just afraid of exposing Mr. Zhou's privacy.

Jiang Shuying sighed softly.

Tang Yixin was a little nervous, "Sister Shuying, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Shuying said calmly: "You don't need to be nervous. Mr. Zhou is your sponsor and also my sponsor. Mr. Zhou introduced us just because he wants us sisters to get along well."

"Ah?" Tang Yixin's mouth widened, with a look of sudden realization, and a bit of relief and surprise, "Sister Shuying, are you also Mr. Zhou's... friend?"

Jiang Shuying pursed her lips and said "hmm".

Tang Yixin felt at ease now and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. I was worried that I would spill the beans and affect Mr. Zhou's reputation just now."

Zhou Buqi originally wanted to support Jiang Shuying, just like Yang Mi. After some investigation, I found that her level did not seem to be adequate. But even so, she is much better than Tang Yixin.

Jiang Shuying was more knowledgeable, with stronger aura and leadership. Within an hour of the two of them knowing each other, she was already the backbone of the two. She smiled and said, "If it weren't for this, how could Mr. Zhou do it?" Introduce us?"

Tang Yixin held her arm and became even closer. She said with a smile, "Then we are good sisters. Mr. Zhou is so kind. He even introduced a good sister to me when he went abroad."

Jiang Shuying couldn't laugh or cry.

Tang Yixin leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Sister Shuying, how much does Mr. Zhou give you every year?"

Jiang Shuying glanced at her and asked, "What about you?"

"I..." Tang Yixin hesitated and said honestly, "10 million in three years."

Jiang Shuying was amused. Logically speaking, this kind of thing was just like the wages of employees in the company. Normally, employees were not allowed to discuss each other's wages.

This Tang Yixin really has no scheming at all.

But this is also a good thing, at least it can be easier to get along with each other and there is no need for intrigue.

The two sides are not in a competitive relationship to begin with.

Jiang Shuying shook her head slightly, "I'm not short of money."

"Ah?" Tang Yixin was surprised and couldn't believe it, "Didn't Mr. Zhou give you money?"

Jiang Shuying rolled her eyes at him, "Who is Mr. Zhou? Would he be so stingy? I didn't ask for it."

"Why?"

Tang Yixin was puzzled.

Jiang Shuying said: "I'm not short of money."

"That's not..." Tang Yixin was a little dizzy, "Working for free is such a disadvantage!"

Jiang Shuying was amused, "What are you talking about? Your thoughts are quite feudal. In this kind of thing, who loses and who takes advantage?"

Tang Yixin bit her lip gently, "We are girls."

Jiang Shuying felt that she couldn't explain this kind of thing to her, so she thought for a moment and said, "I think some things are more important than money. Do you know Mr. Zhou's arrangements for today?"

Tang Yixin shook her head.

Jiang Shuying said: "In the morning, Mr. Zhou will sign a contract with someone from Spotify."

Tang Yixin said: "Yes, I know. I heard about it on the plane when I came here. It seems to be Spotify's Series C financing... It seems that the valuation has reached more than one billion US dollars. I don't know what kind of company is so valuable."

Jiang Shuying didn't explain much to her, "In the afternoon, Mr. Zhou will discuss cooperation with people from Microsoft. It seems that the Microsoft team flew to London from Silicon Valley."

"Wow!" Tang Yixin's knowledge of the technology industry is limited, but Microsoft is so famous, probably the most influential company in the world, "Mr. Zhou is so awesome."

Jiang Shuying nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, Mr. Zhou is so awesome. The more you get in contact with him, the more you will think he is great."

Tang Yixin was confused, "What then?"

Jiang Shuying looked a little proud and curled her lips slightly, "When we talk about cooperation with Microsoft in the afternoon, I will go too!"

"Are you going too?"

Tang Yixin opened her eyes wide, finding it difficult to understand this.

Jiang Shuying said: "I think being with Mr. Zhou and seeing the world is the greatest wealth."

"oh……"

Tang Yixin was confused and felt that this Sister Shuying was a bit inexplicable.

In the afternoon, Zhou Buqi met with a group of people from Microsoft at Ziweixing’s London headquarters. Microsoft was led by Senior Vice President Steven Sinofsky.

This person is very powerful, and he developed the office product ecosystem.

This also shows that the direction of the cooperation between Microsoft and Ziweixing this time is mainly around office.

Zhou Buqi had already negotiated with Bill Gates before. Ziweiyun intended to introduce office to its own platform and help Microsoft sell office products through Ziweiyun's platform.

After some internal discussions, Microsoft agreed.

However, there is also a prerequisite, which is that Microsoft's Bing search must be added to the products recommended by the search platform in Ziweixing's offline channel promotion project "Instructions".

During the negotiation process, some differences arose.

Mainly around office.

Microsoft's current CEO Ballmer is a die-hard. He has drawn a bottom line for the cooperation between the office product ecosystem and Ziweiyun, that is, there will be no sharing!

In other words, it’s okay to sell offices on Ziweiyun’s platform.

However, Ziweiyun will not participate in dividends from the sale, and all income will belong to Microsoft. This is obviously a very harsh condition, and Kurian firmly refuses to agree.

In the end, it was Zhou Buqi who made the final decision and pushed forward the cooperation between Ziweiyun and Microsoft.

If you don’t divide it, you won’t divide it!

At worst, Ziweiyun will work for Microsoft for free and help them sell products for free.

The agreement is reached and everyone is happy.

Zhou Qi did not attend the cocktail party in the evening. Microsoft only sent a senior vice president. Bill Gates and Ballmer did not come, and there was no need for boss Zhou to entertain him.

Jiang Shuying accompanied me throughout the whole process. She spoke English very well and could clearly hear the afternoon negotiation session.

Just confused.

In the evening, she and Tang Yixin went to Mr. Zhou's home on Cowley Street. During dinner, she couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhou, I don't quite understand the negotiations with Microsoft this afternoon..."

"Oh?" Zhou Buqi's eyes lit up and he admired her, "Why don't you understand?"

Jiang Shuying said: "The cooperation between Ziweiyun and Office... I don't quite understand the specific cooperation method. It probably means that Ziweiyun provides people and space to help Microsoft sell Office products. The money earned from the sale is, Everything is owned by Microsoft, and Ziweiyun does not charge any fees, is that right?”

Zhou Buqi smiled, "Yes."

"Isn't this a disadvantage?"

"Suffering a loss?"

"Yes, isn't this working for Microsoft for free? I think everyone disagrees..."

"Wait a minute." Zhou Buqi interrupted her, strangely, "Who said everyone doesn't agree?"

Jiang Shuying was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it? Those people under you are opposed to it."

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "That's just what you see. They say they are opposed. How do you know whether they agree or oppose in their hearts?"

"Ah?" Jiang Shuying was stunned, "You mean they are acting?"

As a professional actor, she was shocked.

Analyzing it from a professional perspective, there is really no trace of performance at all.

Zhou Buqi said: "It's not just acting. Support is sincere, and opposition is also sincere. Business choices are often not made between 'right or wrong'. This choice is too easy. Everyone knows what to do." Choose the right one. The real complexity is choosing between 'right' and 'right', between 'wrong' and 'wrong'."

"Um?"

Jiang Shuying was confused and confused.

Next to her, Ning Yaxian chuckled and explained: "Just like Wanda Mall, every time a new Wanda Plaza is opened, it must attract merchants to settle in. If we want to attract more investment, Wanda has to look for brands like Armani and Hermès. A world-class brand town. In order to attract them to open a store, Wanda will give them free space rent and sales commission, and will also spend hundreds of thousands to help them decorate the store. To attract the mainstays by working for free .When all these big brands come, the small and medium-sized brands will flock to it, and a new Wanda Plaza business model will be established."

After such an analogy, Jiang Shuying suddenly realized.

Thinking about it again, isn’t that what I did?

Tang Yixin recognized Mr. Zhou as a benefactor and could make a lot of money. Jiang Shuying also recognized Mr. Zhou as a financial sponsor, but it was for free... It seemed that he was suffering a loss and was working for Mr. Zhou for free.

In fact, what she wants is to bring more knowledge, experience and resources to herself through Mr. Zhou.

Working for free does not mean asking for nothing, but wanting more.
