Top of the big era

After returning home, when I saw Shi Jinglin, she didn't look happy at all. Mainly because the listing scale of Yuanwei Group has not reached expectations, and I am afraid it will not even reach HK$20 billion.

You know, Jieyu Media, which was listed two months ago, has a market value of HK$100 billion.

This made the arrogant Shi Jinglin unhappy.

Seeing the man coming, he simply gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, risking his life, "Zhou Buqi, I've thought about it!"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "What have you thought about?"

"I want to have a baby."

"Ahem..."

"What's your reaction? I'm telling you seriously!"

Shi Jinglin's expression was serious, not joking at all.

Zhou Buqi opened his eyes wide, "Are you serious?"

Shi Jinglin hummed softly: "What is true or false? I am a woman. If I don't have children in my life, it would be too incomplete. Are you going to have children? If you don't have children, I will find someone else..."

"I think you deserve a beating!" Zhou Buqi immediately grabbed her and gave her a few symbolic pats on her butt, then looked slightly surprised, "Are you really going to have a baby? Didn't you say no? Are you alive?"

In the office, Shi Jinglin didn't shy away from it. She sat on his lap, bit her lip and said, "I changed my mind. I want to have a baby. I can't compare with doing business. I must not fall behind in having a baby!"

Zhou Buqi laughed.

I think her brain circuit is really strange.

"By the way, last time I heard you said you wanted to invest in "Playboy", how was it?" Seeing that he didn't object, Shi Jinglin felt complacent and satisfied.

Zhou Buqi sighed: "It's not that good, I've given up."

"Give up? Why?" Shi Jinglin blinked and analyzed, "The Playboy brand is famous. The brand's popularity is far greater than its business level. This company is in a business depression now."

Zhou Buqi said: "That's what I say, but this brand... is not very mainstream after all, and it walks on the red line of morality. What I originally wanted to do was based on the electronic version of "Playboy", and engaged in picture streaming media, targeting Some white-collar users who have the ability to pay and have higher taste requirements. However, after some investigation, I found that this is not possible at all.”

"Why?"

"Today's Internet is becoming less and less like the Internet! The Internet was originally a topological structure and a decentralized design. Everyone can build their own website. But now the Internet has completely become a centralized structure. Especially It’s Apple, which uses its iOS system and iPhone to lock down every Internet company. Companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon that can compete with it are actually no different from Apple.”

Shi Jinglin said amusedly: "It seems that Ziweixing is not one of them."

Zhou Buqi was noncommittal and continued: "On smartphones, there are currently three major systems, Apple's iOS system, Google's Android system and Microsoft's WM system. These systems have their own review mechanisms. The electronic version of "Huahua" "Young Master", if the size is reduced and no one is exposed, the appeal will be gone and no one will subscribe; if the size of the physical magazine is maintained, it will be impossible to pass the review of these platforms."

"That's it..."

"'Playboy' is a very good brand, and I also think that the electronic version of picture streaming products will have a relatively large market, but there is no way, the times no longer allow such a product to appear in the mainstream view."

Shi Jinglin looked regretful, "What a pity. I quite like this magazine."

"Um?"

Zhou Buqi looked her up and down with a complicated expression.

Shi Jinglin avoided this problem and walked towards the desk, regaining her strong-woman demeanor, "Okay, I'm going to be busy with work, you go back and rest. Recharge your batteries, don't worry." Just mess around outside and I’ll go home when night comes.”

…

This is the capital.

Summer is here, and girls dressed coolly start to take to the streets in groups again. Compared with previous years, it can be clearly felt that girls wear less and less.

Zhou Buqi came to Ziweixing's headquarters and participated in two financial meetings.

Then we mainly focus on the development of “WeChat”.

At this stage, WeChat still lags behind compared with international products of the same type. The main reason is that the domestic Internet speed is not very good and it cannot run many complex functions.

For example, kakaotalk in South Korea is the Korean version of the overseas version of Helo for the Korean region, and is operated locally by a Korean team.

It has achieved great success. Of the 55% market penetration rate of Korean smartphones, 95% of them are this product.

In South Korea, a small country with few people, Kakao's monopoly mechanism can be said to have gone all the way.

Because group buying is so popular, Kakao also launched group buying around Kakaotalk. Kakao has launched a "Gift service" for users in South Korea. Users can purchase coupons for small commodities such as coffee or chocolate in the app and send them to friends, who can use these coupons to redeem them in offline physical stores.

Although the unit price of the products is not high, it is a new channel to enhance relationships among friends.

It directly combines "social + group buying".

Relying on this business, Kakao can make a profit of US$2 million every month. This basically started the prototype of Kakao's transformation from social networking to e-commerce.

Zhou Buqi feels that it is time to promote the listing of Kakao, and strive to complete the IPO listing on the Seoul Exchange within 2 years!

The greater Kakao's influence in South Korea's Internet industry, it will be of great help to his future layout on Changyou.

Changyou now has a lot of funds in hand, and its next big move is to go to South Korea to acquire several game companies.

Once the acquisition is blocked, Changyou will directly ask Changyou to provide financing to Kakao, and then acquire it in the name of Kakao. In the middle, I poured my hands and signed the contract clearly.

At that time, the property rights of the game company will be in the hands of Kakao, but the property rights of the games can be licensed to Changyou.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

Meng Houkun knocked on the door and walked in.

Zhou Buqi was carefully planning his strategy for South Korea. When he came closer, he saw it was him and said angrily: "Why are you so sneaky?"

Meng Houkun said speechlessly: "You are absent-minded and miss women, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Let me tell you something."

"What's up?"

Zhou Buqi knew that this kid was coming, and he was definitely up to no good.

Meng Houkun said: "After the Spring Festival, the marketing department of Friends.com laid off 120 people. In April, this wave of layoffs ended. The total cost of layoffs was only 2 million."

"so little?"

Zhou Buqi was a little surprised.

120 people were laid off, and the cost of layoffs was only 2 million?

This is too little!

The average person is less than 20,000?

Meng Houkun said: "Yes, it's too few. People in the human resources department are deliberately reducing the cost of layoffs."

Zhou Buqi frowned slightly, "What about the N+1 compensation?"

Meng Houkun said: "They were deliberately avoided. Only a few people can get N+1 severance compensation. Most people... are actually looking for trouble, saying that their usual work is not up to standard and they are fired from the company..."

"Wait a minute." Zhou Buqi interrupted him, "Even if you are fired, there will be compensation, unless it is an obvious violation of the law or company discipline."

Meng Houkun said: "But employees also have to consider the next job. They cannot find the next job because they made a mistake and were fired. This will greatly increase the difficulty of their employment."

Zhou Buqi suddenly realized: "So many people can only swallow their anger when they are laid off. They would rather not receive compensation than have the record of being fired from their old employer appear on their resumes."

"Yes, that's what it means."

"It's so shameless. Ziweixing must not do this! Especially not to those fresh graduates who joined Ziweixing right after graduating from university!"
