Top of the big era

A month later, Zhou Buqi's vacation came to an end and he went from Casablanca to London.

There are also Aunt Xue and Baoshan, Sun Wanran and Zhang Zetian, Yang Mi and Dili Reya.

The first stop was the London Clinic, also known as the Royal London Hospital.

After working hard for several months, I finally got results.

Baoshan's body had some reactions, and it was almost certain that she was pregnant.

Come to London Clinic for a comprehensive and systematic physical examination.

Yang Mi, who had a big belly, also checked once.

All indicators are very good.

Everyone is happy.

The incense continues and the population is prosperous.

Zhou Buqi also had the opportunity to take time out to watch a Premier League match in Manchester, where Manchester United played West Ham United at home. The result was very embarrassing. What was originally a great situation was a 2:0 lead, but the opponent scored three goals in the second half. In the end, the two sides ended in a 3:3 draw.

By the time he returned to London from Manchester City, the news had already spread.

Various political and business figures have sent out invitations to invite him to participate in some important events. Cambridge and Oxford universities have also sent out invitations, and many business elites have submitted project reports to him for investment...

This is external, but there are also many internal ones.

Ziweiyun, Spotify, Ziweixing Digital Media, Yahoo Europe and many other businesses have also called in with reports and want to invite Boss Zhou to come and provide guidance.

Whether you can actually give some guidance is actually not important.

This is like a personal expedition by a royal chariot in an ancient war.

The emperor went to the front line. In fact, there was no need for him at all. He didn't understand war... But as long as he went there, he sat there, walked around in front of the soldiers and waved his hands, which could greatly boost morale. to improve the success rate of combat.

This is very troublesome.

Zhou Buqi's original plan was to stay in London for two days, take Baoshan and Mimi for a comprehensive physical examination, and then go back for vacation. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, find a bit of tranquility in the nature of the countryside and sea.

Of course, there are also many beauties to accompany you.

Especially the group of Japanese-style maids just recruited from Japan. There are more than a dozen of them, all of whom have been inspected for perfection. Under the suggestion of Aunt Xue, who is diligent and thrifty, it is best to take them one day at a time, and Boss Zhou will come forward to go through them all and help them go through the hurdle of growing up. The money has been spent, why not enjoy it?

Anyway, Baoshan is pregnant now.

Zhou Buqi is also "free".

But when I came to the UK, the incident of going to watch Manchester United's home game was captured on TV. After word spread, it became a sensation.

Now, the European economy is recovering.

Gradually getting rid of the haze of the European debt crisis.

Next, it’s time to start looking for development.

The first step, of course, is to target the hottest IT industry at the moment.

It is said that the EU intends to launch a digital grand strategy, which is to break down the boundaries between policies, laws, network security, copyrights, different operators, and even express delivery services among EU countries to form a single European digital market.

European countries are fighting on their own, and their strength is really too weak.

If the European IT industry can be coordinated and have a common standardized system, just like China and the United States, it can incubate European IT giants in the new era.

Of course Zhou Buqi is happy to see this happen.

The fragmentation of the European market requires additional cost investment and a more complex management system for any company to develop in Europe.

Once unified, costs can be better controlled.

"However, there is a major contradiction here."

Tang Binchen is now fully responsible for the European business, and he is cautiously optimistic about this.

Zhou Buqi has full trust in him. Even the European business of Ziweixing Digital Media's "Internet + Football", Spotify's "Internet + Music", and Netflix's "Internet + Video" are all managed by Tang Binchen. agent.

"What kind of contradiction is it?"

Zhou Buqi went to Tang Binchen's office specifically.

Tang Binchen said: "The EU's intention to promote a digital single market is not to create a better business environment for the technology giants in China, the United States, South Korea and Japan, so that they can make more money here. It is to incubate the European Local technology giants that can compete with China, the United States, South Korea and Japan!”

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "I'm afraid this is not realistic."

Tang Binchen nodded and said in a deep voice: "Relying on the market is indeed unrealistic. However, you can also rely on some non-market factors to interfere with the market."

"It really is!"

Zhou Buqi immediately remembered an internal event of the European Competition Commission that he would participate in next. The main discussion was the antitrust investigation of Qualcomm.

For the EU, now is an opportunity!

Both China and South Korea have officially launched antitrust investigations into Qualcomm.

In the United States, Apple also took action and launched a huge lawsuit against Qualcomm with a claim amount of more than 40 billion US dollars.

Qualcomm can now be said to be facing enemies from both sides.

In the past decade, the EU has investigated Qualcomm four or five times.

In the end, they all failed.

Not Qualcomm's opponent.

Things are different now, the opportunity has come!

If boss Zhou's plan to kill Qualcomm goes along, the European Union will also follow suit and launch an antitrust investigation against Qualcomm. Then it will be difficult for Qualcomm to devote more energy to fighting the EU's investigation. In this way, the EU is more likely to win and punish Qualcomm forcefully.

Tang Binchen has been in Europe for many years, and his feelings are getting deeper and deeper. He said: "Europe's technology industry used to be very strong, no less than that of the United States. But in the past ten years, under the guidance of the Internet era and the global trend of smart phones, Europe has fallen behind. In fact, it is not the technology that is lagging behind. Europe's technology is still the world's top. But the industry has fallen far behind. For example, white goods. In the past, Europe's white goods were the most competitive in the world. Siemens' TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines were all aces among aces. Now it's not the case. The white goods market has become a three-way split between China, Japan, and South Korea."

Zhou Buqi said: "Well, this is the same as the ecological thinking we have been talking about when we made Internet products before. The success of a single Internet product is actually weak. From a global perspective, only the product ecology is more competitive. Whether it is social, e-commerce, search, or the popular cloud computing and artificial intelligence, the real industry giants will eventually implement it in the product ecology. Developing only one product is not enough. Enough, whoever can build the product ecosystem first can stand out. "

Tang Binchen deeply agrees, "Yes, the ecosystem of an Internet product is actually a complete product industry. Now there are only two players left in the global Internet landscape, China and the United States. South Korea, Japan, and Europe, which seemed to be very powerful in the early days, are no longer good and have fallen behind. In fact, the industrial structure is not perfect. Only China and the United States have the most complete Internet industry structure. "

Zhou Buqi nodded, "So I was busy in China for several months some time ago, just to promote the domestic mobile phone industry and new energy vehicle industry. In modern global competition, the advantages of a single field can only be short-term advantages. An industry to impact a company, an Internet ecosystem to compete for an Internet product, this is not a competition of the same magnitude, there is a gap in dimensions. "

Tang Binchen said in a deep voice: "The EU may have some tricks."

"Ah?"

"Qualcomm, start with Qualcomm! This is still because of you!"

"Uh..."

Zhou Buqi was a little dazed.

Suddenly, he realized his invisible influence as the world's richest man and the world's top entrepreneur.

These methods he used against Qualcomm.

It seems to affect the international situation in the future... The construction of the EU's digital single market is the first move.

Tang Binchen said worriedly: "In fact, any country is the same. If it cannot rely on pure market competition, in order to protect the local market, it will definitely use some non-market means to intervene in market competition. This is not only the case in China, but now it seems that the EU is also going down this path. If it only relies on the market mechanism, the EU's local technology companies may never be the opponents of China, the United States, South Korea and Japan. They will definitely have a series of non-market policies to restrict these foreign companies in the future."

Zhou Buqi was very relaxed about this and said with a smile: "It's not surprising. It was done this way in China before. Now the EU can't stand it. After a few years, the domestic IT industry will develop further and become more and more powerful, and even the United States can't stand it. The United States will also have to lower its face and do this."
