Top of the big era

After talking to Zheng Xiaoli, it was already noon. Zhou Buqi stretched out, called Ning Lu, pulled her and sneaked away, and they went out to eat private dishes together.

It's best not to let the secretaries see it.

The elevator goes directly down to the underground garage, get in the car and leave.

As soon as she got in the car, Ning Lu couldn't help it and asked strangely: "Why are you pretending to be stupid?"

"What?"

Zhou Buqi was amused by her.

Ning Lu snorted, "Didn't I tell you about menstrual leave? Didn't you deny it? The conversation I had with Zheng Xiaoli just now seemed like you didn't understand anything."

Google has added a menstrual leave benefit for female employees. How could Zhou Buqi pay attention to this trivial matter?

In fact, Ning Lu found out this through communicating with the secretaries in Google’s president’s office.

Then, she felt pretty good.

Unexpectedly, after I told Boss Zhou, he immediately rejected it, saying that this was a welfare benefit for developed countries and was temporarily inconsistent with domestic conditions.

The reasons are similar to what Zheng Xiaoli said, and his views are even more comprehensive and involve the industry structure.

Ziweixing must have the best salary system and welfare benefits in the domestic IT industry. This is the company's own requirement.

However, it cannot be too far ahead of the industry.

This will cause disruption to the industry.

Just like some foreign companies that came to set up factories in China and wanted to pay workers according to international standards, they were immediately interviewed by the authorities and stopped. They must follow domestic industry practices, which can be higher, but not too high. Your factory has money and can pay high wages to its workers, but what about other factories?

Foreign companies have raised workers' benefits significantly, which at first glance seems to be beneficial to workers. Quite the opposite actually. The wages in the industry are too high, which has led to a sharp decrease in factory profits. Many factories have stopped doing business or have moved to Southeast Asia.

With fewer factories, there are fewer jobs.

If wages are raised, workers will all become unemployed. In the worst case, there will be a wave of unemployment for hundreds of millions of people.

The reason why China has become a global manufacturing center in recent years is because under the dual control of market and policy, the country has a lower salary standard system, which has caused foreign factories to close down and move to China.

Ziweixing wants to be the IT company with the best welfare in China, but Zhou Buqi cannot look at Ziweixing in isolation from the industry and social environment.

Hearing Ning Lu's question, Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Actually, I talked to her just to comfort her. Miscarriage is not a trivial matter, and I hope she can cheer up."

Ning Lu pursed her lips and looked at him sideways, "How can you be so comforting?"

Zhou Buqi said amusedly: "I am the boss of the company and she is a senior executive of the company. How can I comfort her? We can't just close the door and coax her like you do, right?"

Ning Lu covered her mouth and laughed.

Zhou Buqi said: "I have a bad habit, that is, I like to be a teacher. I want to give some guidance to everyone I meet. However, this is not my fault. Everyone has the problem of being a teacher."

Ning Lu followed his train of thought and whispered, "Is it a sense of accomplishment?"

"Yes, that's what the sense of accomplishment means." Zhou Buqi smiled, and then sighed, "It's a pity that Zheng Xiaoli had a miscarriage. But don't underestimate this matter. Many women become depressed because of this, and even Many couples get divorced because of conflicts. This is not only a miscarriage, but also a mental blow. The more high-quality a woman is, the more she will care about it, and the greater the mental pressure will be."

Ning Lu said with emotion: "Yes, working women...especially M5 and M6 executives like Zheng Xiaoli. She is already in her thirties. She must have made complete preparations when she was pregnant. She didn't expect it to happen. This kind of thing."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "So the company should care more about her."

Caring is one aspect.

On the other hand, it is also because Zheng Xiaoli's business ability has been recognized at the group level, and she may be further promoted and reused in the future.

Micropoint Search’s market share on the PC side has always been lower than Baidu’s, with the gap remaining at about 10 percentage points.

However, on the mobile side, Weidian’s market share reached an astonishing 67.4%!

Nearly three times that of Baidu!

A large part of this credit goes to Zheng Xiaoli. She was the product director of the Weidian App on mobile phones at the beginning and was promoted to vice president of product this year. She single-handedly created it.

This is no ordinary achievement, no worse than opening up new territories.

For example, Friends Network.

On the PC side, Friends.com is number one in the industry; on the mobile side, Friends.com is still number one in the industry.

This is normal.

It doesn’t show the capabilities of the mobile product team.

Weidian has been suppressed by Baidu for many years on the PC side, but quickly emerged and overtook it on the mobile side. Its market share is several times that of Baidu... Of course, there are major decision-making mistakes by Baidu here, but no matter what, judging from the results, Zheng Xiaoli It just made some brilliant achievements.

She has outstanding achievements and strong abilities. In addition, it is the early stage of the mobile Internet and senior mobile talents are relatively scarce... Her miscarriage made the entire CEO Office very nervous. He Yang, Pei Yao, Wang Xiaochuan and others all followed suit. She had talked.

I hope she can cheer up and see the sunshine of life.

However, the most effective thing was definitely the comfort from the legendary Boss Zhou, so he accepted the task arranged by Chief Human Resources Officer Pei Yao and came forward in person.

Ning Lu chuckled and said, "So you come to be the student, and she comes to be the teacher, and let her teach you a lesson. Once you are taught, she will feel particularly comfortable and have a sense of accomplishment, and she will feel more and more aware of her own value, you will have more confidence in your career, and the haze in your life will be gone."

Zhou Buqi said: "If you want to wipe it all away, you have to rely on time to settle it. At least it can be regarded as a small favor."

"You are Zhou Buqi!" Ning Lu didn't think much of it. "You are a legendary world-class entrepreneur. Especially within our company, everyone respects you and worships you to death. She can give you some guidance. , I guarantee that she has one meter of sunshine in her heart now."

Zhou Buqi said amusedly: "What do you mean by one meter of sunshine? Was your Chinese taught by a foreigner?"

Ning Lu was slightly startled, "I don't know, it seems to be some TV series."

After dinner at noon, we have to change places in the afternoon and go swimming there.

This Ren Yuxin really has some ideas.

"The Deer and the Cauldron" is Changyou's most promoted masterpiece in the past few years. The result is a reskinned version of "Dragon", which has no freshness at all and failed immediately.

It's such a shame that a game with an investment of 80 million US dollars is just thrown away half-dead.

Ren Yuxin wanted to save it.

Then I found the direction of mobile games.

Try to create a mobile version.

In fact, this is also a helpless move. The popularity of "Dragon Movie" in the past few years is related to the industry situation. In the past few years, martial arts games as a whole have failed, including the perfect "Swordsman", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Heaven and Dragon Sword", etc., they are either difficult to produce or failed.

Young players seem to have shifted their interest in martial arts to fairy tales, fantasy, magic and the like.

"The Deer and the Cauldron" will definitely be out of business if it continues the old-school martial arts thinking, no matter how much it is changed. Simply continue to develop this brand towards mobile games.

It cost 6.5 million US dollars to buy the rights to adapt the game, so it can't be wasted.

Zhou Buqi had no involvement in the specific adaptation, and he didn't understand it at all. After that, he mainly told Ren Yuxin that he wanted to acquire some excellent Korean and Japanese game companies.

Unexpectedly, I received an unexpected phone call.

From Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob

Zhou Buqi was somewhat surprised.

It's afternoon now.

In the United States, this is the middle of the night.

A call at this time?

Joe Lacob was very direct, "I heard, you want to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers?"

"Huh?" Zhou Buqi was puzzled, "How do you know? Who told you?"

Joe Lacob smiled and said, "So, is it true?"

Zhou Buqi had no need to hide it and said frankly: "Yes, it's a rare opportunity and you shouldn't miss it. What? You are also interested. Let's work together again?"

It would be best if we can cooperate.

Joe Lacob is an investor in Silicon Valley. He has a big business and is not a small boss in the ordinary sense.

"I'm not very interested in baseball." Lacob then hesitated and coughed, "That's right, Johnson asked someone to find me and wanted to contact you."

"Johnson? The one from the Lakers?"

"Yes, that's him."

"What does he want from me?"

Zhou Buqi wasn't even interested in having a phone call with "Magic" Johnson, and he really couldn't stand it. How good can a basketball player be? What business capabilities can it have? Can it compare to one of Joe Lacob's toes? Neither does Michael Jordan.

Joe Lacob was a little embarrassed and could only say tactfully: "I heard Johnson tell me that he had originally contacted two private equity institutions to provide him with two-way financing in terms of equity and debt to help him complete the acquisition of the Los Angeles The acquisition of the Dodgers. He has been working on this since last year, and it was not easy to find these two companies."

"Oh, really?"

Zhou Buqi's reaction was relatively cold.

Joe Lacob was very helpless, "We had already reached a verbal commitment, and we were about to start acquisition negotiations. Unexpectedly, in the past two days, the two private equity institutions immediately regretted it, saying that they had found a new partner. An investor named Jenny represents Fangfei Trust Fund.”

Zhou Buqi almost laughed.

Jenny is the English name of Senior Sister Zhen Yu. The Fangfei Trust Fund is the Zhou family’s trust fund, named after Zhou Buqi’s mother, Lou Fangfei.

No wonder "Magic" Johnson went around and entrusted the relationship to Joe Lacob. Unexpectedly, Senior Sister Zhen Yu managed this matter quietly.

As a middleman, Joe Lacob had no confidence at all. "He originally owned 5% of the Lakers' shares, but he sold them. He also had a large amount of Starbucks stock... You know, Starbucks' stock price is relatively low now, but He still sold them all, withdrawing a total of 100 million US dollars to leverage the acquisition of the Los Angeles Dodgers. He has already sold everything he should sell."
