Top of the big era

Capital International Airport, Pearl Lounge in Terminal 2.

Zhou Buqi appeared in casual clothes with a schoolbag on his back.

"This is it!"

As soon as he entered the VIP room, he saw Zhang Chaoyang in a suit and leather shoes, waving at him.

This trip to the United States, with Liu Qing's help, there is no need for others to accompany her.

With Lao Zhang as company, there were also people talking along the way.

Let's talk and learn more.

"Without an assistant?"

"Don't you bring an assistant?"

"I'm not like you."

Zhang Chaoyang raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, somewhat provocative and proud.

Zhou Buqi turned his head to take a look, sure enough!

Behind Lao Zhang and on the right side, there are two stylishly dressed women with elegant demeanor standing gracefully. Both women were wearing peaked caps, black pants and masks, covering them tightly.

This is the Pearl Lounge, which is of a higher level than the VIP Lounge and First Class Lounge, and only elite members can come here.

But these two women are fully armed... There is only one reason, these two must be well-known stars.

Any public appearance and standing with Zhang Chaoyang will cause quite a disturbance.

Zhou Buqi curled his lips in contempt.

This old Zhang is really out of tune!

Aren't you falling in love with Gao Yuanyuan? Are you afraid that you will be overwhelmed when you go abroad and take the two girls together?

Zhou Buqi was not very interested in them, so he reached out for a cup of coffee, and couldn't help but whispered: "I said Lao Zhang, why can't you work harder? Sohu has such a good foundation, you should do it well! It is obvious that you are in the Internet circle. Boss, this fell out of the top three."

Zhang Chaoyang didn't take it seriously, and glanced at him, "I went to the United States for business reasons!"

"Um?"

"I'm going to buy the Sohu Building. It's basically settled. I'll go and explain this to a few major shareholders. It's almost the same. This is not just Sohu's business. If it is done, you can also take advantage of it."

This is true.

Working in Sohu Building and Weixin International Building still has a lot of influence on reputation.

But how long has this shit been going on? What about efficiency?

Zhang Chaoyang sighed, "Xiao Zhou, you are amazing now!"

"how?"

"The group buying on Xiaonei.com exploded. Before I came, there was an uproar in the executive meeting."

"What's the noise?"

"We want to make a group buying website."

"ah?"

Zhou Buqi was a little amused and shook his head.

With the booming group buying on Xiaonei.com, group buying websites have sprung up to follow suit. Especially in the past two or three months, at least fifty or sixty group buying websites have popped up.

However, there is no one that has really made it to scale.

This is only 2006, and there are only more than 100 million netizens nationwide. How can it be so easy to do e-commerce?

The success of Xiaonei is not because of group buying. It is because Xiaonei first dominated the university campus market through related social services. After a series of operations, it gained the trust and support of college students.

Those group buying websites outside lack a reliable user base, so what can they do?

Low price strategy?

The things on Taobao have lower prices, who knows if they are real or fake?

In the current e-commerce environment, overcoming the crisis of trust between buyers and sellers is the biggest problem, followed by high prices and low prices.

Zhang Chaoyang frowned and asked, "How did you do it?"

"What's the meaning?"

"Operation! In 1999, Sohu established a profit strategy. The first was advertising, and the second was B2C e-commerce. Imagine."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Yes, the operation is too difficult, and I can't do it well."

"Um?"

"Don't look at me like that, it's true. Small activities are okay, and Xiaonei.com can do it by itself. Larger group buying activities are outsourced to JD. Xiaonei.com is only responsible for the screening of the supply chain and user shopping guide. Later The delivery process is all done by JD."

Zhang Chaoyang blinked, thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "When will you leave the campus? Group buying is so good, it's not a pity that it's limited to the university campus."

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "There is no such plan for now."

Zhang Chaoyang said: "You have lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds. This year's domestic B2C business has exceeded 6 billion. How much share can you take?"

Zhou Buqi didn't listen to his fooling, and said with a smile: "The stride is too big, and it's easy to pull the crotch."

Zhang Chaoyang didn't care about his shrewdness, and tried to persuade him: "Let's go out of the campus, we can cooperate. Sohu has the largest content traffic in the country. If we cooperate, are you afraid that group buying won't work?"

Zhou Buqi twitched the corner of his mouth.

No matter who you cooperate with, you can't cooperate with you!

Glancing at the two female stars who were sitting quietly not far away, talking in a low voice, they cleverly changed the subject: "I see that your Sohu not only has a lot of traffic, but also has a lot of women."

"What? Heartbroken?"

"Not at all."

Zhou Buqi's expression was flat.

Zhang Chaoyang took a deep look at him, and kept giggling. Then he walked over and whispered a few more words to the two female stars, all three of them were laughing.

Zhou Buqi was a little baffled.

board the plane.

They are first class, with a total of 4 seats, super luxurious, you can take a hot bath, and the matching toiletries are all brands such as Bulgari. The seat is at least as big as 6 economy class seats, and it is actually a bed with a small bar, champagne, brandy, and Louis XVI.

It was the first time for Zhou Buqi to fly in first class on an international flight, so he was a bit startled. Several beautiful stewardesses are in their early twenties, with very vicious eyes. For example, when changing shoes, the stewardess saw that Zhou Buqi's shoes were of the Zilli brand, and even found out a Zilli shoe bag and put them in it.

The female star next to her was wearing a pair of LV, and the stewardess also found an LV bag to pack it in, and then... Zhou Buqi was taken aback.

A little lost.

I rely on!

What is this old Zhang doing?

It's over, it's over, it's set!

The entire first-class cabin was covered by the four of them, so after boarding the plane, the two actresses took off their hats, sunglasses and masks. Zhou Buqi also saw the true face.

The one next to me... with a round oval face, a high smooth forehead, and a faint smile with a swirl of pear blossoms, is like the little girl next door, full of girlishness.

But this person's age is actually more than ten years older than me!

It was "Ren Yingying"!

It was really found by Zhang Chaoyang.

Looking at the other side, Gao Yuanyuan also showed her true face, put on slippers, and held Lao Zhang's arm, with an excited and sweet look on her face. It seems that it is also the first time to take a first-class cabin on an international flight, and his eyes are full of surprises.

"Very surprised?"

Xu Qingjian pursed her lips in joy, looking very naughty.

Zhou Buqi said calmly, "I really didn't expect it to be Miss Xu."

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Boss Zhang said he would give you a surprise."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, I was very surprised."

The seats are in two rows.

In the front row are Zhang Chaoyang and Gao Yuanyuan.

In the last row are Zhou Buqi and Xu Qing.

Zhou Buqi didn't care about Lao Zhang's beaming look, and chatted with Ms. Xu in a more rigid manner, talking about some foreign experiences, talking about some interesting things that happened in filming, and talking about martial arts novels.

After the plane cruises smoothly, the stewardess comes out.

All right!

Put on a maid outfit.

The table was laid out for Zhou Buqi, the knives and forks were placed, first snacks, and then cold dishes. According to the type of cold dishes selected, match the corresponding wine.

Zhou Buqi ordered Arctic shellfish scallops, which were paired with white wine. Then came soup, followed by salad. The main course is served after the appetizers, and there are famous dishes such as steamed dragon grouper and emerald green roasted golden abalone.

After the main course, there is dessert, with a little cheese and preserved fruit.

During the whole dining process, there is an exclusive flight attendant... It is appropriate to say that it is a "maid" who serves, picks up vegetables and pours wine, asks about the cold and warm, smiles like a flower throughout the whole process, and the service is extremely in place.

Zhou Buqi didn't want to eat too much at first, because in his previous impression, the meals on the plane were not very good.

But the service is great, and the delicious food is really lingering.

Satisfied with wine and food, the four of them got up and sat in the air corridor for a while. Each of them ordered a glass of soda, which was accompanied by a fruit platter.

"It's worth the $20,000 ticket price."

Gao Yuanyuan said softly with emotion.

Zhang Chaoyang shook his head and said, "What is this? A luxury cruise is a real trip. The plane is still too small. I'll see if I have time later. Let's take a tour of the Caribbean and go on a cruise."

Zhou Buqi almost slapped him across the face.

Forced you to pretend!

However, in terms of knowledge about eating, drinking and having fun, he really can't compare with Boss Zhang.

Then Xu Qing said quietly, "I didn't go to the Caribbean either."

Zhou Buqi pretended not to understand, and said with a smile: "That's just right, when Lao Zhang goes next time, you two will go together."

Gao Yuanyuan looked wary.

The relationship between her and Zhang Chaoyang is different, at least for the time being, it is a real love relationship.

Zhang Chaoyang immediately understood, "Yes, if we want to go, let's go together! Well... this time it won't work, let's wait until July, and go to the Caribbean Sea to sunbathe together."

Zhou Buqi immediately refused, "Aren't you afraid of getting burned? I don't have time, the company is too busy."

Zhang Chaoyang sighed, and educated him, "Xiao Zhou, it's good to work hard, but you can't give up your life just because of your career, right? You have to live this life, at least you have to combine work and rest, right?"

Both women are too smart to engage in discussions of such topics.

Zhou Buqi said: "Sohu's business has matured, and it's fine to leave it to the senior management. I can't do it over there. If I don't keep an eye on it, there will be trouble if I don't keep it in order."

Zhang Chaoyang shook his head, feeling a little bit different and not conspiring with each other, but still smiled and said: "Then come out this time, just take a good look around, Xu Qing has been to the United States, right?"

"Um."

"That's fine, you show my little brother around more, he is too young and a bit shy, he can't play well, you can enlighten him more."

Xu Qing pulled her hair by her ears, and cast a charming glance at Boss Zhou, "I don't know if Mr. Zhou is willing or not."

Without waiting for Zhou Buqi to respond, Zhang Chaoyang answered, "He is definitely willing. He told me that he liked your film "Swordsman" the most. He was still in junior high school at the time, so he was so fascinated."

Xu Qing patted her chest, her beautiful eyes were full of affection, her dimples were shallow, her smile was half a smile, she bit her red lips lightly: "That's good."

Zhou Buqi was a little dizzy.

I feel like I've met a vixen.

Fuck it!
