Top of the big era

This time, Zhou Buqi did not make a decision arbitrarily. He wanted to go back and study it first.

This matter is really complicated.

From a business perspective, Kurian's advice was clearly the best. If you want to develop an original cloud database, it is a huge technological project.

It would be amazing if a version could be developed.

It would be a bit unrealistic for the two teams in China and the United States to start at the same time and each work on a version, and it would also cause huge waste.

The best solution is, of course, to concentrate resources on big things and combine them into one to focus on one of them.

which one?

This is a simple multiple-choice question. You must choose the one from Kurian.

But there are some differences in values.

The cloud database developed by Ni Qiang's team, even though it has many problems and is immature, and even though it is based on foreign open source frameworks, it is still a self-developed high-end product.

Databases, like chips, aero-engine nacelles, tactile sensors, mobile phone radio frequency devices, ICLIP technology, heavy-duty gas turbines, lidar, airworthiness standards, high-end capacitors and resistors, engines and other fields, are all controlled by others in terms of core technologies.

What Ni Qiang did was sentimental and also demonstrated Ziweixing’s social responsibility.

If this was abandoned, wouldn't it go against Ziweixing's own values?

Of course, there are always ways to solve these vain things. In today's era, individualism is more respected, and feelings cannot be used as food.

The key is that abandoning Ni Qiang's project will harm the interests of the outstanding technical talents in his team.

Only when you have the opportunity can you grow.

Only when you grow can you be promoted, get better treatment, and have more ideal pursuits.

If Ni Qiang's project is abandoned and his team is asked to do some odd jobs for Kurian, the growth of his team will slow down and many motivated people will be dissatisfied.

Qia Qiang's team is all senior engineers. According to Ziweixing's internal technical title standards, they are all senior experts above T6. They are all young and want to have deeper attainments in the technical field.

If the company doesn't give them a chance, they will be disappointed.

Maybe even quit your job.

The inability to retain talents in the country often results from a lack of opportunities. Mid- and low-level talents left because they could make more money abroad.

The situation is different for high-level talents, who have reached the level of world-class scientists. That is, things are rare and valuable, and they may make more money at home than abroad.

But they still have to go abroad.

Because the country lacks related projects, related supporting facilities and related industrial structures, if there are no opportunities at home, it can only go abroad.

Ziweixing is now regarded as the Internet company with the highest technical content in China. It is already recognized as surpassing Baidu, which can be clearly reflected during school recruitment.

If Ziweixing cannot set an example in this regard and cannot provide suitable opportunities, then why should those high-level talents who studied in the United States return to China for development?

Even if we put aside those ideals, social responsibilities, and corporate values, the reality before Zhou Buqi is that he cannot let Ni Qiang and his team down.

Zhou Buqi was deeply touched by this.

At that time, Baidu had a self-developed big data project with extremely high technical content called "Pyramid". After trying it for a long time, it couldn't continue, so Baidu gave up and planned to rely on foreign open source solutions.

The result is that the scientists in the "Pyramid" project are very disappointed. It is a choice for the company, but for them it ruins their ideals, pursuits and future opportunities.

Then, people's hearts will be shaken, and there will be a wave of collective resignations.

Fortunately, Zhou Buqi acted quickly at that time and reached a cooperation with Baidu to take over the "Pyramid" project. These people happily joined Ziweixing and became the core development members of Feitian Database. Under Yang Zhenkun Under the leadership of the company, we have really started self-research and "realized our dreams" in independent research and development.

Looking back, this was really a strategic decision-making mistake by Zhou Buqi.

However, there are many hidden benefits.

Zhou Buqi left Zi Weiyun's building and returned to his administrative building. Instead of going back to his office, he went directly to Zhang Yiming's office and called in several available executives such as He Yang, Guo Pengfei, and Cheng Binghao. Said his own thoughts.

"Feitian Database has indeed not become a niche product as expected. But we cannot ignore the value of the intangible assets the company has gained from this product."

Zhou Buqi's words when he came up made Zhang Yiming, He Yang, Guo Pengfei and others stunned.

Guo Pengfei looked at him in surprise, "Are you stimulated?"

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "I was pulled over by Johnny just now and talked about the cloud database."

"oh!"

Only then did everyone suddenly realize.

Indeed, this matter is indeed a major and difficult matter for Ziweixing. It is no longer something that can be decided by the technical committee. It needs to be decided by the decision-making committee, the highest authority of Ziweixing.

Zhou Buqi continued: "From a commercial perspective and business layout, Feitian Database is indeed unsatisfactory, but don't forget that this product has brought hope to many people with technical pursuits. Ziweixing can The brand recognition of hard-core technology originated from this product.”

Cheng Binghao nodded repeatedly, "Yes, business needs to make money. But for a large company, building a brand means making money. Intangible assets are also wealth. I have always said that the success of the Feitian Database project cannot be denied."

Zhang Yiming said with a smile: "For this reason, Ziweixing's ability to surpass Baidu and become recognized as the Internet company with the best technology in China is also related to the public opinion promotion of Feitian Database in the past few years."

Zhou Buqi said slowly: "So, when making decisions, you can't just focus on the business aspect. Some technological products are for making money; some technological products are actually for attracting attention and gaining unanimous praise from the public. To put it bluntly, , is to deceive the common people and earn intangible wealth from them. This is not only a special domestic environment, but is it also the case for Google? It tinkers with weird and unprofitable things every day, and then it is considered to be the most technologically advanced in the world. Internet company."

Zhang Yiming said: "That's right, so Feitian Database is retained, and we are still investing in the development, operation, and development of this project. Instead of just abandoning it when there is no chance, like Baidu did with the 'Pyramid' project."

"Um."

Zhou Buqi nodded, that's the truth.

Guo Pengfei said angrily: "You called me over in a hurry just for this? I have other things to do... You don't understand the cloud database thing. Don't listen to Johnny's nonsense. You have information gaps. His project , it should be closed or closed, go back and talk to Kurian."

"ah?"

Zhou Buqi was slightly startled.

Looking at the two technical experts Zhang Yiming and Cheng Binghao, their attitudes were actually the same, and they both supported Guo Pengfei.

Looking at He Yang again, there was no objection.

It seems that a consensus has been formed at the top of the company, that is, they all agree with Kurian's plan and will take action on Ni Qiang, his team, and his project.

It seems that there are other reasons here.

Zhou Buqi didn't have the confidence to say that he was always right, so he felt guilty, "What's going on?"

Guo Pengfei looked very anxious. He had already stood up and said angrily: "Yang Zhenkun has already deceived you once about the database. Will you be deceived by Ni Qiang again this time? Go back and study it carefully. What’s going on? We’ve figured it out through research and we’re discussing it! Okay, the meeting is over and we’re all going to work!”

With that said, he turned around and ran away without giving the big boss any face.

Instead of walking, he ran, as if he had an urgent need to urinate.

In the office, the atmosphere is rather awkward.

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "This kid is running very fast. I think he has diarrhea?"

He Yang also smiled in agreement, "It's possible."

At this time, Zhang Yiming looked at his watch, and his intention to see off the guests was obvious.

Depend on!

Zhou Buqi was a bit broken, so he had to withdraw, and he had to put on a magnanimous look, "Okay, I'll talk to Kurian later, and we'll discuss it later. Tangible assets are important, and intangible assets are also important." "

Just a few steps out of the office, he saw someone saluting him and saying hello.

Zhou Buqi smiled and nodded.

I took a look and was surprised!

Is this girl so beautiful?

Wearing a secretary's skirt uniform.

What does this mean?

She is Zhang Yiming's secretary?

This bastard boy has become corrupted?

It seems that we need to find an opportunity to tell him that the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still have to work hard! If you are too young to be busy with your career and waste time on men and women, isn't it a waste of your talents?

That is to say, Boss Zhou has a grand personality and a prime minister's heart, so he did not criticize him in public and planned to go back and talk to classmate Yiming privately.

Then, he got on the elevator and went to the chairman's office on the top floor.

"Boss, I'll press the button."

At this time, the delicate and beautiful girl just now caught up with her and pressed the elevator button. She had beautiful eyes, curved eyelashes, red lips and white teeth. She turned out to be a rare beauty.

She has fair skin, beautiful collarbones, hair tied into a ponytail, and her figure is also extremely enchanting in twists and turns.

I feel that they are no worse than the nine new secretaries in my office.

Zhou Buqi remained calm.

Since he was someone else's secretary, he didn't want to covet her too much and walked into the elevator. This elevator is an exclusive elevator that cannot be used by ordinary employees. It can go directly to the top floor and is generally only used by senior executives.

Unexpectedly, this little secretary also walked in and said with a smile: "Boss, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here just because I sent you a document."

"yes."

Zhou Buqi smiled, confused.

I thought to myself that this little girl's career in filmmaking is quite wild. She doesn't work hard, so she just rushes in?

Quite brave!

Then, he saw the little secretary happily waving her white right hand in front of him, wearing a beautiful platinum and diamond bracelet on her wrist, "Boss, thank you for your gift, I like it so much! I...I am still the first I’m collecting gifts from boys for once!”

Zhou Buqi staggered.

Almost fell down.

Depend on!

It turns out that he is not an outsider, but a member of his own family.
