Top of the big era

After arriving in New York, I met many people on Wall Street, and the investment bank and Nasdaq were contacted.

All parties were very satisfied.

This was not the first time I served Mr. Zhou. Unlike other projects that would encounter risks during IPO and cause losses to the underwriter, Mr. Zhou's IPO cases have never failed.

This pleasant cooperation experience has greatly reduced the obstacles in the talks between the parties.

Even many of the tricks under the water during the IPO process did not need Zhou Buqi to find a way to solve them, and his friends in the circle would help him to solve them.

Then, Zhou Buqi went from the east to the west again.

Attended an on-site meeting, and one of the main topics was to focus on the streaming media industry. Twitch will participate in the production of the two animations "League of Legends" and "DOTA2" next, and will invest and promote them.

At the same time, Twitch's membership service should open a channel for game-related film and television dramas.

Sign the streaming rights of TV series adapted from games such as "Tomb Raider", "Resident Evil", "Need for Speed", "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time", etc. as an important service to serve members.

As the popularity of the Internet increases and the growth bottleneck is reached, membership business will become more and more mainstream in the Internet industry.

In April, Zhou Buqi returned to China.

He did not say hello to the company.

Together with Ning Yaxian, he quietly slipped back to the company. Both of them wore masks. The haze was a bit heavy.

As a result, they were still recognized while walking in the park.

"Hello, boss!"

Two young girls waved excitedly and ran over.

One had long hair and wore a white windbreaker, and the other had short hair and was wrapped in a thick cotton coat.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "You've been recognized?"

The long-haired girl seemed very cheerful, "I can tell at a glance, you're so special."

"Are you going out?" Zhou Buqi glanced at the two of them and reached for his bag, "I have a mask here."

"Well, we're not going out."

"Well?"

"We both quit."

The long-haired girl looked pretty when she smiled, but the short-haired girl next to her was not so good, her round face was a little chubby.

"Quit?" Zhou Buqi was a little surprised, "Any reason? Were you wronged in the company?"

The long-haired girl shook her head gently, "No, I wasn't wronged."

Zhou Buqi smiled and asked, "Did you get a better offer? Where?"

"No."

The long-haired girl still shook her head.

The short-haired girl didn't seem to like talking much, and she looked like a technician because she was taciturn.

Zhou Buqi was very confused, "Without an offer, you suddenly quit? The momentum of the big industry is not very good now. The capital market has cooled down. Don't be too impulsive when making career choices."

"Cold down?" The long-haired girl was very surprised, "No way, it's a bull market now, and we have made a lot of money."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "You made money in the bull market, so you don't want to work?"

The long-haired girl nodded gently, "That's the reason."

Zhou Buqi pointed to the side, "Let's go to the coffee shop over there and chat?"

"Okay."

It's rare to have the opportunity to sit down and chat with the big boss.

The long-haired girl introduced herself and said her name was Jiang Jie, and the short-haired girl was Zhang Xiaowei. The two were college classmates. They both graduated from Beijing University of Chemical Technology and joined Ziweixing as fresh graduates three years ago. They both worked in market operations.

Although Zhou Buqi is also very young, his experience is different from those young people nowadays. He said helplessly: "How much money did you make in the bull market?"

Jiang Jie pursed her lips, "More than 400,000, she made more, more than 600,000. Basically doubled."

"That's not a small amount." Zhou Buqi didn't expect that these two girls were quite good at stock trading, "How much did you invest?"

Jiang Jie smiled and said: "In total, more than 500,000, all the money I saved in the past three years of work."

Zhou Buqi was surprised, "You saved so much in three years of work?"

Jiang Jie was a little embarrassed, blushing and said: "It was mainly because we caught up with the good opportunity of the company's listing. After the ban was lifted, we sold the stocks and transferred them back to China. We didn't expect that there would really be a bull market in China..."

This is not surprising.

The options obtained before the listing may be worth only 100,000. After Ziweixing went public, it may directly become 300,000.

Zhou Buqi nodded, "With this little money, you can only pay a down payment for a house, and you can't quit. I remind you to cherish your current job. If you really quit, it will be hard to find a job in the future."

"Well..." Jiang Jie hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly, "Boss, do you know what the most popular sentence on Weibo is now?"

Zhou Buqi didn't pay attention, "What?"

Jiang Jie said: "It was a resignation letter from a sister, with only one sentence, 'The world is so big, I want to see it'. This really touched thousands of netizens, and everyone said it was the most sentimental resignation letter."

"Damn! Isn't this poisonous chicken soup!"

Zhou Buqi is very troubled by this cultural phenomenon.

It is probably related to the bull market.

The person who wrote that resignation letter either has a good and wealthy family background, or has made a lot of money in the bull market. After all, the price has surged from more than 2,000 points last year to almost 5,000 points. I firmly hold it. People’s assets have basically doubled.

Once you have money, you will be restless.

I was really fascinated by the "poetry and distance" trend of young people in society.

As everyone knows, the pursuit of poetry and distance is a price that ordinary people can afford?

Youth without regrets is a good saying.

After this age, I really regret it.

Jiang Jie was unconvinced, "Why is it poisonous chicken soup? That's so well said."

This is a coffee shop. In fact, there is Yuanwei milk tea. Zhou Buqi ordered three cups of milk tea and said earnestly: "Of course it's nothing to travel to distant places, but why do you want to resign? If you want to go abroad, the expenses will be even higher. Big."

Jiang Jie said: "But if you don't record your youth while you are still young, the past will really be the past."

Zhou Buqi said: "Then you can't spend all your time recording youth, right? Work itself is also a part of youth. The fulfillment of life does not come from poetry and distance, but from work. And just the opposite, waiting for you to pursue it Poetry and distance, as time goes by, you will only feel a huge sense of emptiness.”

"ah?"

Jiang Jie frowned and looked at her companion next to her, neither of them agreed.

I think Mr. Zhou is not playing the role of a capitalist, right?

Why do you want us to work part-time?

Zhou Buqi also noticed their disapproval and was somewhat annoyed by the many "awakening" thoughts on the Internet.

This thing is not only poisoning young people in Europe and the United States, but it also has a huge impact on young people in China.

Zhou Buqi could only sigh: "Of course it's good to pursue poetry and distant places, but you must be down-to-earth, and you must have some basic understanding of reality and social cognition. How can you quit such a good job at Ziweixing just by saying something? etc. You have gone out to play enough, and you have spent almost all your money. If you want to come back and find a similar job, it will be very difficult. Is it difficult to travel to distant places? It is not difficult at all. What is difficult in this society is You have a chance to work at Ziweixing.”

Jiang Jie remained silent.

Zhang Xiaowei, the short-haired girl next to her, whispered: "We also thought about it for several days before we made the decision. We also struggled, and we also felt that it was a pity to resign like this. But we also feel that youth is only once, if only Going to and from get off work every day, repeating it every day, is meaningless. "

Zhou Buqi nodded, "You're right, I'm actually a few years older than you. But for such a big thing as resigning, did you really only think about it for a few days before making up your mind?"

Zhang Xiaowei looked suspicious, "A few days, is it very short?"

Zhou Buqi couldn't help laughing, and then said seriously: "Do you know how long it usually takes for a company to recruit someone? At least 3 months. If it is for some middle- and high-level management positions, the timeline may be longer. to 6-10 months. Because changing jobs is a big deal, it is related to a person’s career plan, and you must give them enough time and space to make the decision.”

"3 months?"

Zhang Xiaowei opened her eyes wide and looked at Jiang Jie next to her, feeling a little guilty.

Zhou Buqi found that they were too feminine and too emotional, and said: "If you think about it for 3 months and then decide to resign, then I will definitely respect your choice. If you only think about it for 3 days, then If you give up the job at Ziweixing without any other offers, I can tell you responsibly that this is wrong. You just saw the Internet saying "The world is big and I want to see it." I was blinded by impulse."
