Top of the big era

Facebook has gone public, and its market value has steadily exceeded US$100 billion...Zhou Buqi has seen the capital nature of the United States. Zuckerberg seems to have surpassed himself and become the most famous young entrepreneur.

Although Boss Zhou is also very good, his company is not listed on the market.

Changyou, which has already been listed, has a current market value of only US$32 billion, which is a big gap.

However, Zuckerberg himself is quite humble. After running the company's IPO, he returned to Silicon Valley and held a banquet, inviting heroes and friends from all walks of life.

Zhou Buqi is naturally among them.

He didn't want to go.

But for such a grand event, many people who wanted to join in had no chance. If he didn't go, others would still want to go... Liu Qiangdong made a special call to him to ask if there was a chance.

Zhou Buqi had no choice but to agree.

During the day, he and the Ziweixing International team started the third round of acquisition talks with Yahoo's board of directors and some major capital representatives.

In the evening, Liu Qiangdong and his female companion rented a plane and flew over from Los Angeles.

The two parties went to the celebratory cocktail party held by Xiao Zha together.

Zhou Buqi glanced at the female companion next to Old Liu with great interest. She changed again. She was young and beautiful. If nothing else, she should be a female college student.

Liu Qiangdong smiled and said: "Why are you so reluctant to do such a good thing?"

Zhou Buqi said: "What a good thing, it's someone else's good thing."

Liu Qiangdong seemed to understand something and said tentatively: "Will Ziweixing compete head-on with Facebook in business in the future?"

Zhou Buqi said frankly: "It has already started."

As early as two months ago, WeChat has been revised in China, integrating the friend circles among the "secret circle", "interest circle" and "friend circle" in the friend network, and officially moving forward from instant messaging to the field of socializing with acquaintances .

Overseas Helo is a little slower, but everything is ready.

The product meeting has already been held.

Seven days later, at 2 a.m. on June 1st, Helo will officially launch a highly recommended upgrade package and launch the "Friends Circle" function in Helo.

This is a head-on confrontation with Facebook.

Liu Qiangdong is very different from Zhou Buqi in some aspects. He likes to join in the fun and ostentation, and he especially values ​​his own face... Zhou Buqi glanced at the female companion next to him and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart. He came from Los Angeles specifically. Did you come here just to show off to this female classmate?

Just very helpless.

When he arrived at the reception, Zhou Buqi asked his female companion Ning Lu to take his female companion around. He pulled Liu Qiangdong and asked in a low voice: "How do you handle the relationship with the female college student?" ?”

Liu Qiangdong twitched his lips, "You still want me to teach you?"

Zhou Buqi sighed, "I encountered something very bad recently."

Liu Qiangdong asked: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Buqi said: "There is a girl from Tsinghua University. She must be an art student. She is quite beautiful. When I saw that Ziweixing was recruiting a secretary to the chairman, I submitted my resume over and over again, wanting to come here for an internship."

Liu Qiangdong couldn't help laughing, "Intern secretary?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, I didn't pass it originally. But this girl is unusual. Her family is in good condition. She has seen some things in the world. She is very courageous, so she went directly to the company and asked several senior executives to talk about this matter. thing."

Liu Qiangdong was surprised, "So motivated?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Later, I had no choice but to arrange an administrative position for her to intern. However, she always ran to my secretariat and asked me about this and that. She just had to write clearly on her face that she wanted to work for me. It’s stuck on my body.”

Liu Qiangdong smiled and said: "It's not surprising."

Zhou Buqi exclaimed: "It's hard for me too. I've seen her photos... By the way, she's still an internet celebrity, Milk Tea Sister, do you know?"

"Oh, it's her!" Liu Qiangdong suddenly realized, "She's quite pretty. I've also seen her photos."

Zhou Buqi said with a headache: "You know that I have always been very restrained in the relationship between men and women, but such a beautiful girl is trying every means to get close to me. Alas, after you have achieved success in your career, you can avoid such troubles. not open."

"What's there to hide?" Liu Qiangdong disapproved, "Just come when you come."

Zhou Buqi asked, "What should we do?"

Liu Qiangdong said: "If you don't take the initiative or refuse, you won't be responsible."

Zhou Buqi was a little worried, "Isn't this bad?"

Liu Qiangdong was a little confused. He felt that this guy was so weird today. This was not a big deal. Why did he embarrass you like this?

Isn't it just a female college student? With your boss Zhou's skills, let alone one, even if you can deal with hundreds of them, isn't it easy?

Zhou Buqi whispered: "That female college student seems to be very ambitious, and she even said that she is a virgin. And I have investigated and found that her family's conditions are very good, at least tens of millions. I'm afraid this is not very good. I want to use it as investment capital."

"What's this?" Liu Qiangdong was a little funny, "Why don't you just say it clearly and seal the future? If it works, it will work, but if it doesn't work, it won't work. When investing, there will always be gains and losses. Since you are so proactive If you stick up, you must be prepared to become a victim.”

Zhou Buqi nodded and said reluctantly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Liu Qiangdong shook his head frequently, feeling that he was so strange today.

At the cocktail party, Zhou Buqi basically does not need to be moved.

At that stop, heroes from all walks of life came over one after another, with eager smiles on their lips. Those who were familiar could come up to shake hands, while those who were unfamiliar took the initiative to introduce themselves.

This is Zuckerberg’s home turf.

But at this cocktail party, Zhou Buqi seemed to be the second leading actor.

This time Liu Qiangdong was cheaper.

Liu Qiangdong has been standing next to Zhou Buqi. Every distinguished guest who came to see Boss Zhou was introduced to him, and he slowly opened up his connections in Silicon Valley.

However, the gap with Boss Ma is still too big.

If nothing else, the language barrier is not good.

If you can't even speak English well, you are excluded from the inner circle in the first place.

Zhou Buqi ignored those people and still chatted with Liu Qiangdong, "Is this semester over? When will you return to China?"

Liu Qiangdong said: "It's almost the end of the month."

Zhou Buqi said: "When I finish negotiating the Yahoo case, I will go back to China. At that time, I will go to Southwest China to see Mr. Chu. Will you go?"

"Which Mr. Chu?"

"The one who grows Chu oranges."

"Oh, sure, let's go together."

Liu Qiangdong was very interested in this. In the 1990s, Mr. Chu was as famous as Mr. Liu as a national reform pioneer, and both promoted the market-oriented reform of state-owned enterprises. However, Mr. Chu was in the tobacco business, which was a red line and touched too many interests. In the end, the reform failed and fell short of success, and he became a victim of the reform.

After Mr. Chu was released from prison, everyone thought he would leave his hometown in anger, but he did not. He chose to start a business when he was 70 or 80 years old. For the first time in his life, he started a private enterprise and started planting fruit trees and doing agricultural business.

This has become the most inspiring story in the entrepreneurial circle.

Liu Qiangdong said: "Just in time, JD.com has opened a fresh food section. It seems that Chucheng has not been publicly sold in the market. This time, we can establish a cooperative relationship in procurement and sales."

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "Do you think we were discussing business in the past?"

"what is that?"

"Talk to the elderly, learn from experience and draw lessons, don't become a victim. Especially you, the female companions change one after another, you have to pay attention! Learn more from me!"
