Chapter 3077: Protect Yourself
Zhou Buqi had to prepare in advance and do some things to prepare for a rainy day.
In recent years, the biggest creative officer of Ziweixing and Ziweixing International is actually Zhou Buqi himself.
His creativity in business models, product design, marketing promotion, and even new technologies has made the two companies a huge success in the past few years. In fact, he still has some creative ideas, but not many.
He has almost used up all the ideas that should be used.
He is almost "exhausted", and the role of foresight has become less and less.
It is time to find future sources of creativity for the two companies from the institutional aspect.
From the current point of view, Kurian is a good choice.
In the past few years, Zhou Buqi has not participated in Ziweiyun's business much. He wanted to participate but couldn't. He basically didn't understand anything and couldn't provide ideas. But in this case, Kurian led Ziweiyun and made exciting achievements.
This is a pleasant surprise, and it is enough to verify Kurian's ability.
In fact, the innovation ability of Indians is even less than that of Chinese.
The reason why Kurian is better than Luqi in terms of structural creativity, can be comparable to Luqi in terms of business operation and maintenance and stable development, and can continuously achieve results in creativity and continuously bring forth new ideas for Ziwei Cloud is not because of his personal strong creative ability.
Rather, he has a strong ability, which is mergers and acquisitions and business integration.
For example, Ziwei Cloud recently launched another merger and acquisition, spending $220 million to acquire a cloud computing-related startup, a platform company for B-side data computing.
The business is roughly that a company hangs a server on Ziwei Cloud, which can generate massive data. But they don’t know how to process this data, so they can spend money to buy this data analysis service, and the cloud computing platform will do intelligent analysis.
This is a system.
Ziwei Cloud actually has this system, which was launched two years ago.
But it’s not very good.
Then don’t worry about it.
Decisively look for it in the market and acquire a related company that is recognized by the market to make up for its own shortcomings.
This is the meaning of mergers and acquisitions.
From the cost point of view, continuous mergers and acquisitions will definitely cost a lot of money, so it is better to do self-research at a lower cost. However, the risk of self-research is too great. What if self-research fails? What if the self-research product is changed again and again and still cannot be recognized by the market?
If the changes are delayed, it may even affect the user's evaluation of the entire Ziwei Cloud platform.
Instead of this, it is better to cut the Gordian knot.
Quickly give up self-research and turn to acquisition.
Buy a company that does this service well, and then integrate it to make up for its own shortcomings and strengthen its own strength.
Compared with spending more money, failure is a greater loss.
Moreover, Kurian is of Indian descent and has very dark skin. He has no psychological burden. Unlike many white executives in Silicon Valley, they all have their own dignity and dignity, and have a moral adherence. When plagiarizing, they are all shy and a little embarrassed.
Kurian is different. He plagiarizes when he should plagiarize and copies when he should copy. There is nothing to hesitate!
How can you do business without thick skin?
He is of the lowest caste in India. He climbed up from the bottom of Indian society and came to the United States. He became an elite in Silicon Valley step by step. It can be said that he suffered a lot of hardships and tortures... Such experiences made him more pragmatic than anyone else, which is also the biggest advantage of low-caste Indian executives.
The experience of suffering is a wealth. And this wealth is much richer for Indians than these white elites in the United States, even more than Chinese.
Kurian is only seven or eight years younger than Lu Qi, and he is not young.
He personally has no creative ability.
But he can put down his face and plagiarize without hesitation, and he has a unique vision and is good at mergers and acquisitions, which is enough to make up for this lack. This is where he is better than Lu Qi. Tang Binchen has almost no ability in mergers and acquisitions, which is his biggest disadvantage.
After a small discussion, Zhou Buqi kept Tang Binchen and went to comfort him, "I have thought about this for a long time, and Kurian is more suitable."
"It should be, he is strong in all aspects." Tang Binchen was very calm, "The outside world also unanimously believes that Ziweiyun is the most promising and long-term valuable business in the company. Moreover, he is almost 20 years older than us, so there is no rush."
Zhou Buqi hurriedly said: "That's what I want to say! It's not because of the business choice!"
"Huh?"
Tang Binchen raised his eyebrows.
Zhou Buqi said: "I am now the CEO of Ziweixing International, but as you know, I am basically a figurehead and do not participate in the daily management of the company. By next summer, I plan to go straight to Kurian as the CEO. I will return to the board of directors."
"Oh, okay."
Tang Binchen nodded, not feeling that there was any difference.
Zhou Buqi said: "What I mean is that our group of people should slowly retreat behind the scenes. This is the United States, don't make too much fun."
"Ah?"
Tang Binchen was surprised.
Zhou Buqi said: "Let Kurian be the CEO, and I can safely retire behind the scenes and become the chairman. With his skin so dark, he is suitable for showing up and doing something on behalf of the company. You and me, including Lu Qi, Yang Zhiyuan, and Zheng Xiaoli, We still need to be cautious in this regard. This year, after Russia annexed Crimea, although the EU and the United States chose to appease militarily and did not participate, they took action economically. Now it can be clearly felt that geopolitics has changed again. There was a quarrel, and the friction between the East and the West began again.”
Tang Binchen became serious.
He thought Boss Zhou asked Curry to install him as a transition.
After all, he is still young.
And Kurian is 47 years old this year.
After ten years, Kurian should retire. By that time, Tang Binchen will be more mature and experienced in all aspects, and of course he will be able to successfully become the new CEO. But judging from Boss Zhou’s words, this is not a commercial consideration at all!
Zhou Buqi said: "It's not convenient for me, and it's not convenient for you either. If you become a CEO, if you become a CEO, you will inevitably have to attend various forums and activities, and you may even have to attend presidential banquets, parliamentary discussions, etc. . If someone asks you what you think about the XX incident, do you agree or disagree? I can't handle it, and neither can you."
"It's true."
Tang Binchen took a deep breath.
Zhou Buqi said: "It has been okay in the past few years. During the global economic crisis, the main purpose of all countries was to ease the economy and get out of the economic predicament. It is different now. The U.S. economy has recovered. We have to have some It's a wise strategy to protect yourself. As for the CEO position, let alone you and I have changed our nationality, even if we all change to American nationality, even if we are Chinese who grew up overseas, it will be useless if we show this face! It will have a psychological effect.”
This is a sincere statement, and Tang Binchen can naturally feel it, "So we have to hide behind the scenes. We need an agent who stands at the front desk."
Zhou Buqi said: "Kurian is suitable in all aspects. You will be a senior vice president and hide among the senior executives. I think this arrangement is the best. What do you think?"
Tang Binchen smiled and said, "I'll listen to you!"
"Don't listen to me. This is my company and yours." Zhou Buqi knew that such an arrangement would make him feel a little aggrieved. "The key is up to you. If you are really not afraid of trouble, let Kurian let the CEO , you go and be the president.”
"No, let's forget it!" Tang Binchen waved his hands repeatedly, "Even you have flinched, how dare I try hard? My relatives and friends are all in China, and the company is rooted in the United States. It must be uncomfortable to be caught in the middle. . Then let’s keep it as it is. If that doesn’t work, I’ll take a step back and take charge of the European business.”
Zhou Buqi said: "Don't be anxious about this matter. Let's take it slowly. If you are really nervous in the future, maybe you will really withdraw from this business in the United States and leave it to the Americans. You can go back to Europe." Go to Mingzhe to protect yourself.”
"Um."
"But I don't think it's necessary. As a vice president, you are neither president nor CEO. The outside world may not know who you are at all. They only think that you are a subordinate manager, and they probably won't pay attention to you."
"That's best."
Tang Binchen is also an ordinary person, and he cannot afford to participate in possible disputes between major powers.
Zhou Buqi said: "After Lu Qi retreats, let's see if we can build three carriages."
Tang Binchen asked: "Zheng Xiaoli?"
"It's not her. Don't push her to the front desk. I'm even cautious about letting her be the CEO of Yahoo. It's better to let Thompson be the CEO and she be the president." Zhou Buqi must take good care of his direct descendants, "Sam... What about Ultraman? If he starts up the field of artificial intelligence, the company can form a troika of Kurian, you and Ultraman... and of course I will be there. Within the company, create a power center with enough people, preferably twenty or thirty people, to share responsibilities, just like Disney’s strategic planning department.”
The center of power at Disney is the Strategic Planning Department.
There were more than thirty people.
This is both a form of democratic collective leadership and a way of avoiding responsibility.
