Chapter 2018 A stumbling block to success

Zhang Chaoyang said helplessly: "Perfect has been founded for several years, and the company has been listed on NASDAQ for several years. Do you have any relationship with that Chi Youfeng?"

"We've met once or twice, but there's nothing in common." Zhou Buqi smiled, but then he felt something was wrong, "No, the perfect entrepreneurial team is not a group of top students from Tsinghua University, they are all your alumni and juniors. , do you have a bad relationship?"

Zhang Chaoyang said angrily: "If we have a good relationship, why would I put on such a big show?"

Zhou Buqi asked: "Is it because of Changyou?"

Both are self-developed game companies in the capital. Changyou and Perfect Games have certainly been very competitive in the past few years and have been constantly poaching each other.

In this process, some conflicts will inevitably arise.

However, this is a very common phenomenon in business.

If Chi Youfeng went online to hold a grudge because of this trivial matter, that would be too petty.

Zhang Chaoyang said: "On the one hand, it's because of Changyou, and on the other hand, Chi Youfeng is not very gregarious. In the IT circle of the capital, when have you ever seen him?"

Zhou Buqi nodded, "We really don't have much in common."

At this time, someone knocked on the door and came in. It was Xu Baihui's secretary. He walked up to her and whispered a few words.

Then, Xu Baihui came over, lay next to Zhou Buqi's ear, and whispered, "Your little stars are here."

Zhou Buqi gave him a look.

Zhang Chaoyang frowned slightly, "What's the matter? It's mysterious."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "You don't understand some technical things even if I tell you... Let's continue talking about your schoolmate. Is there something wrong with Chi Youfeng's character? Is he depressed?"

"Not sure."

Zhang Chaoyang sighed.

In recent years, the economy has been bad, and many companies have encountered business crises. Many entrepreneurs have suffered from depression, and some have become so severe that they have jumped from buildings.

In the past few years, Lao Zhang has been living with Zhou Buqi, and his mental state is much better than in his previous life.

However, there are some minor symptoms.

He has a "circle of patients", which is full of prominent figures who often share some methods of fighting depression.

One of them, a big boss in the insurance industry, had connections, strength, and a very wild style. He tried Western and Chinese medicine all over the place, but the effect was not very good. Later, he consulted an immortal and gave him a folk prescription.

Let him lose his virginity every day for a year.

Unexpectedly, after only using this prescription for more than half a year, the symptoms actually became milder.

Seeing that the effect was so good, he planned to stick with it for a few more years and try to get rid of the roots.

Zhou Buqi once joked with Lao Zhang and asked him to try this folk remedy. Although Lao Zhang lived a very unscrupulous life, he was a good person and could not do such a heartless thing.

Zhang Chaoyang said: "There must be some problems with Chi Youfeng's character. Coupled with the competition between Changyou and Perfect in the past few years, it is not easy to get in touch with him."

Zhou Buqi suddenly realized and remembered.

The movie "Love Is Not Blind" is produced by Perfect Film and Television, and Jieyu Media is also involved in the investment.

Lao Zhang is one of the producers and producers of this film.

Naturally, we can use movies to establish a relationship with Chi Youfeng.

Jieyu Media is the largest film and television entertainment company in China. If Chi Youfeng wants to switch to film and television, he must establish a good relationship with Jieyu Media.

With the Jieyu Media line, he could legitimately contact Chi Youfeng.

Then, Zhou Buqi became a little funny, "So in this "Thirty-three Days of Love", you are just trying to seal off the connection with Chi You?"

"right."

"As for it?"

"What do you think?"

Zhang Chaoyang snorted.

Zhou Buqi said speechlessly: "Lao Zhang, you are you and I am me. If you come forward to contact him, he may not give you this face. I come forward, can he still not give me face?"

Zhang Chaoyang said angrily: "You don't understand Chi Youfeng at all. He has a weird personality. It's even harder to get something out of him. Do you think you can do it just by showing up?"

"Isn't it?"

Zhou Buqi opened his eyes wide.

Not to mention domestically, even internationally, with Boss Zhou's current prestige and business status, where can it still be difficult to use?

Zhang Chaoyang said sternly: "Just listen to my arrangements. If Chi Youfeng is really gregarious, why would I be in such trouble? How much can he say by using the film and television industry to threaten him with Jieyu Media's industry status?" It’s good to be honest.”

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "Okay, whatever you want, tell me when you've made arrangements."

It's funny in my heart.

It seems that this old Zhang is not too determined to give up.

Changyou will hold a shareholders' meeting soon and will remove him as chairman. I didn't expect him to be so concerned about Changyou. Well, I'm probably not convinced, I don't think I'm that bad, and I want to show off as much as possible.

However, this is all a good thing.

The more people pay attention, the more insurance you have.

Having a goal and motivation can also make Lao Zhang's spiritual world more fulfilling and prevent him from feeling empty and depressed.

Zhang Chaoyang left, and Xu Baihui came up and said with a smile: "This Mr. Zhang actually has some ideas."

"Is it?"

"There are several ideas in "The Thirty-Three Days of Love" that were proposed by Mr. Zhang and Mr. Chi, two laymen who make games. After the movie was made, the effect was quite good."

"This is normal and in line with the rules."

"What's the pattern?" Xu Baihui blinked a few times and pestered him, "They are taking a bath. Don't worry, tell me first."

Zhou Buqi felt that his workload was really heavy, and he really had endless worries about women, and said: "Because laymen don't understand, and laymen's blind instructions, in the eyes of experts, many random ideas are often the greatest innovations. For example, Apple, which has never made a mobile phone, defeated Nokia. However, once the iPhone becomes successful, innovation will be curbed."

Xu Baihui frowned, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Success itself is the biggest stumbling block to success."

"snort!"

Xu Baihui rolled her eyes, feeling that Boss Zhou just liked to rip off lyrics.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "I'm not kidding you, I'm serious. When you watch Lao Mouzi's movies, have you noticed that his movies are not as appealing and influential as they were more than ten years ago?"

"Well, after shooting so many movies, it's just like... the skin-changing game that Mr. Zhang just mentioned. It feels pretty much the same."

"This is an empiricist trap that is difficult for everyone to avoid. The more successful you are in the past, the more you will be immersed in success, and you will curb your own innovation."

"So scary."

Xu Baihui curled her lips.

Zhou Buqi said: "This is reality. When you look at the iPhone, do you think it's pretty good? That's because the iPhone is still on the road to success from 0 to 1, and is still a step away from Nokia's huge success in dominating the world. Waiting for the iPhone If it does, the innovation of the iPhone will be curbed. It will be useless no matter how many creative talents Apple recruits. Because the success of the iPhone itself hinders the subsequent innovation of this product, the more successful it is, the greater the stumbling block will be. If the iPhone Tian was defeated by Aster and suffered a complete defeat, but it will greatly stimulate their innovation."

Xu Baihui said: "So Mr. Zhang and Mr. Chi, who used to make games, have just crossed over and have no successful experience before, so there will be no traps and some fantastic ideas. When Perfect Film and Television really starts to do it, it will also You will definitely fall into the trap of empiricism.”

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Clever!"

"What about Jieyu Media?" Xu Baihui was very worried, "What about Jieyu Media?"

Zhou Buqi said: "I've told you the method, you need to find projects to cooperate with others. In addition to finding some of the best teams to cooperate with, you also need to constantly find some new film and television companies to cooperate with. For example Perfect Film and Television, just entered the market. In the past few years, I have a lot of inspiration and creativity, so I can cooperate with them more. After a few years, they will definitely not be able to do it. At that time, Jieyu Media will find other film and television companies to cooperate with. alright."

Xu Baihui disagreed, "Movies are a combination of creativity. Different teams and different people will collide with different sparks. Just don't blindly repeat each film project at the creative team level. Lao Mouzi's achievements in the past few years For movies, the creative team is too stable.”

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "It's almost the same. The company must be mobile. It's not that the current employees are not good, but that they can avoid stagnant water if they are mobile. Many companies would rather spend money to recruit people with a salary of 10k but are not very skilled in skills." employees are unwilling to increase the salary of old employees from 8k to 10k. Because new employees have vitality. The higher the salary of old employees, the more successful and senior they are, the more they will lose vitality."

"What about you?"

"I?"

"You are so successful, how do you prevent yourself from falling into the stumbling blocks of success? Don't you have empiricism?"

Most people really don't dare to ask this, Xu Baihui doesn't care so much.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Yes, as long as you are a human being, you will definitely make empirical mistakes. Do you think I won't make mistakes? So don't believe everything I say. So... So now I have to pay attention to the management of the company." The strategy is to be free-range, eat and play when it’s time. If you pay less attention to food, drink and fun, it will be better for the company; if you sit in the office every day and care about everything, you may have a big problem of institutional rigidity.”

"You are quite self-aware." Xu Baihui pursed her lips and smiled, "I have never seen an entrepreneur like you who doesn't do his job every day."

"That's because you've seen too little." Zhou Buqi shook his head, "Look at Lao Zhang, how comfortable is life? There's Boss Ma, and Twitter CEO Dorsey...I'm going to the United States to see him in a while. , I heard that he goes to various dance parties every day after get off work. The most powerful one is Wang Shi, you know this, right? He doesn’t go to the company all year round."

Xu Baihui rubbed her forehead, "The amount of information is a bit big, I'll think about it, um... you can go to my bedroom, you know? Go through this door and go to the archives room on the left. There is a bookcase on the right wall of the archives room , and then push open the bookcase, which is a door, and behind it is the bedroom."

Zhou Buqi had a black line on his forehead, "Why is it so complicated?"

Xu Baihui snorted, "I prepared this for you, but my good intentions are just like a donkey's liver and lungs!"
