Top of the big era

Zhen Yu is still confinement at home, while Shi Jinglin has moved to the hospital and is preparing to give birth, which is estimated to be 3-5 days later.

Zhou Buqi is a bit busy.

This kid is a bit much.

Older ones, younger ones, those in elementary school, those who were just born, making the house look like a kindergarten. Fortunately, the family is prosperous and there are many female relatives, especially the newly recruited maids from Japan, who are particularly fond of children, as if they are not maids but kindergarten teachers.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

Zhou Buqi knocked on the door.

After a while, Aunt Xue came over and opened the bedroom door. When she saw him, she was a little surprised and a little amused, "You're good, you know there's a knock on the door."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "I heard from Baoshan that you have a cold. I'll help you treat it."

Aunt Xue rolled her eyes at him and stepped aside to let him in. "You know how to treat illnesses?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, if you don't believe me, just ask Yaxian, do you want injections or medicine?"

"screw you!"

As soon as Aunt Xue heard that it was Ning Yaxian, she knew it was wrong. She had seen some of the tricks played by those two people with her own eyes, which was unspeakable even if she thought about it.

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "How about I use my inner strength? I have achieved great success with my Yang Finger, and my second finger Zen has achieved initial results."

Aunt Xue pinched his arm and said angrily: "You should be more serious! You tease women in different ways every day, have you used all your innovative ability on women?"

Zhou Buqi said matter-of-factly: “This way we can have something fresh every day.”

Aunt Xue ignored him.

She had already concluded from experience that the more she kept talking to him about this kind of thing, the more endless it became. It would be better not to say anything and let him do whatever he wanted. After that, he would stop.

Sure enough, Zhou Buqi soon stopped talking nonsense to her and asked: "Shi Jinglin's family members are here, her mother, her two sisters, and her seventh aunt and eight aunts. What should we do then?" ?”

Aunt Xue laughed and said, "Now you know you have a headache?"

Zhou Buqi said: "What's the trouble? It's not normal for her kind of family to have three wives and four concubines. Her second sister...that Shi Jingmei, has been seducing me, but I haven't been fooled. And her eldest sister, Didn’t she give birth to a baby the year before last? I saw her breastfeeding one time, and she asked me if I wanted to try it..."

"Bah!" Aunt Xue couldn't bear to listen. She stretched out her hand to pat him and said angrily and funnyly, "You still have the nerve to say it. It must be because you are staring at others and she can't bear it, so she talks to you like this, right? "

"No! No!" Zhou Buqi looked like he was used to big scenes, "It's like she hasn't seen it before, and she hasn't eaten it before! She was just inviting me! Fortunately, I have strong self-control and resisted it. lure."

Aunt Xue knew that he was talking nonsense, but there was no need to doubt one thing. Even a high-quality man like Zhou Buqi would always have countless beautiful women around him. She sighed softly, "Some things cannot be completely eliminated." It's possible, but it should be avoided as much as possible."

Zhou Buqi said proudly: "Beauty to me is like a passing cloud!"

Aunt Xue said with a half-smile: "You tease people as soon as you enter the door, can you be more modest?"

Zhou Buqi laughed, and then said seriously: "How about this, let's go to the Hilton Hotel and treat Shi Jinglin's family to a meal? We won't bring them to our home."

Aunt Xue said softly, "Okay, then I'll contact her family."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Well, my parents have returned to China and are visiting my grandpa. He may have to wait for the birth of the child in two days before coming back. It's hard for you to take care of him these days."

After all, there is a seniority relationship.

Shi Jinglin's eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law, second sister, cousin, and cousins ​​are all of the same generation, but she also has seven aunts and eight aunts who came over.

It's like traveling at public expense.

There are elders on the other side, so Aunt Xue can only work hard and take the lead.

Aunt Xue chuckled and said, "It's okay, I have nothing to do anyway."

Zhou Buqi winked, "What reward do you want?"

Aunt Xue's face turned red, and she immediately knew what he meant, "I don't want anything."

Zhou Buqi said: "Not today, I'm going to find Baoshan later... It's the weekend. I'll find a chance to take a mandarin duck bath with you this weekend to reward you for your hard work."

"Stop bullying me and go find Baoshan."

"They are all heartbroken, and they all have to hurt."

"It's not serious, go, go..." Aunt Xue couldn't stand him, so she pushed him, "Don't you have a lot of work to do recently? Go to work quickly, don't talk nonsense here. "

Zhou Buqi was just lying here, "Kiss me and I'll leave."

Aunt Xue came over and kissed him on the face, "Okay?"

"That's it?"

Zhou Buqi was very dissatisfied and wanted to hold her in his arms and kiss her.

Aunt Xue didn't let him succeed, and kept pushing him, "Go quickly, I didn't close the door. If Baoshan suddenly comes over, it's up to you what to do! Go quickly! Go quickly!"

Zhou Buqi was pushed and dragged to the door. He leaned over and whispered: "Don't forget to take a mandarin duck bath on the weekend."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it, I got it, I'll stay with you, I'll stay with you."

Aunt Xue responded repeatedly, just to drive him away quickly.

Zhou Buqi was not satisfied and continued: "I have too many things to do, and I'm afraid I'll forget them. When the time comes, you can go find me and remind me."

Aunt Xue said helplessly: "I know!"

Zhou Buqi said again: "When the time comes, you will practice with me."

"Practice?" Aunt Xue was slightly startled, "What kind of exercises do you practice?"

Zhou Buqi said seriously: "Two-finger Zen is said to be a unique skill of Shaolin Temple. I haven't practiced it enough yet. You can give me some advice when the time comes."

Aunt Xue was almost furious, "I think you should practice the Sunflower Book!"

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "The Sunflower Book is a peerless martial arts that has been lost in the martial arts. I don't know how to do it. However, you can try to practice the Sunflower Acupuncture Hand. We in the martial arts world have always been more skilled than ourselves!"

…

In the study, Zhou Buqi scolded Lu Qi rudely.

It was he who came up with the idea of ​​selling the photo website Flickr.

From a company perspective, this is really good.

Sell ​​Flickr, stop losses in time, and complete cash out, solving the current cash flow problem. But he didn't care about Boss Zhou's reputation at all.

Just like Baoshan said.

What if Flickr gains momentum again in the future?

Not to mention whether it will take off, if Ziweixing sells Flickr for US$500 million, and Flickr's valuation reaches US$2 billion in a few years, major media will seize on this issue. , Boss Zhou, who thought he had a wonderful plan, made a fatal mistake.

I can't afford to lose this person.

Lu Qi was also aggrieved, "We already have Ucgram, and there is no need to operate Flickr anymore. In the first half of this year, the number of photos uploaded by users to Flickr was 550 million, which is similar to Ucgram's three-day data. Now Flickr is in The number of unique user visits in North America dropped by 20% compared with the same period last year."

Zhou Buqi said: "Flickr will still have room for survival in the market. It is a professional picture website, not on the same level as Ucgram. Professional platforms are less popular among the public, but users are very loyal and the payment rate will be much higher." platform for popularization.”

Flickr is membership only.

Ordinary users can only upload 200 photos for free per year. If you want to upload more photos, you need to pay an annual membership fee of $25.

Flickr currently has approximately 52 million users, including 2 million paying users.

Annual revenue from membership fees alone is $50 million.

Lu Qi understood Boss Zhou's intention, "Aren't you going to sell Flickr?"

Zhou Buqi said: "The decline of Flickr is inevitable, but it has nothing to do with product design, but with the positioning of the product. The artistry and overall quality of the pictures on Flickr are the best, and these pictures are digital intellectual property. With Ucgram Unlike Pinterest, Flickr can only become more professional in the future and work deeply in professional fields."

"Pinterest..." Lu Qi seemed to understand now, "Ziweixing wants to promote the further development of Pinterest?"

Zhou Buqi said in a deep voice: "I went to see Zuckerberg today. The talks broke down. He decided that he wanted to buy back our shares at a discount. He must be taught a lesson! Zuckerberg is now The picture social market is very eyeing, and he has sensed that this will be the next extremely important social outlet.”

Lu Qi took a deep breath, "So we must support the growth of Pinterest while owning Ucgram!"

Zhou Buqi said: "I looked at the data. Ucgram and Flickr are not considered competitors, right?"

Lu Qi smiled and said: "It's not a direct competition. Flickr's users are mainly women, and Ucgram's users are mainly young people. Most people will download both apps at the same time."

Zhou Buqi said: "After text social networking, picture social networking will be a big wave. Ucgram alone cannot occupy all of this industry, and it is very likely that Facebook will take away a piece of the market in the end. In this case, what else can we do? It’s better to take both paths together!”

When Pinterest was first founded, I became a user of Ziweiyun.

No way, the biggest problem with picture social networking compared to text social networking is storage space. Text takes up very little space, pictures take up a lot of space.

You can’t afford to buy a server yourself.

The adoption of cloud services will be a general trend.

This gave Ziweixing International the advantage of being close to the water. It invested US$5 million in the A round and obtained 25% of Pinterest's shares.

Later, he participated in the B round.

The current shareholding has reached 28.4%.

This ratio is still not enough for Ziweixing International to use all its own resources and technical strength to promote it. If you merge Flickr into Pinterest, you can get more shares of Pinterest.

It is estimated to reach 50%.

You can treat Pinterest like your half-son.

So as to fully promote the development of Pinterest.

Text social, picture social, video social...

In the field of text social networking, with Facebook and Twitter, it is difficult for Ziweixing International to make any breakthroughs in the European and American markets.

We must win the market of picture social networking and become the martial arts leader in this industry!

Ucgram, Helo’s Moments, and Snapchat, which burns after reading, all have the social attribute of pictures. But this is not enough. We must continue to work harder to squeeze Facebook’s living space in this field.
