Top of the big era

Xu Liangjie has been employed for more than two months.

It's almost time to watch politics.

Begin to gain power step by step.

He is mainly responsible for the online business of the Internet, including the three major business segments of Youyou.com, Xiaonei.com, and Wedian.com. He Yang is in charge of marketing, administration, public relations, finance, personnel and other work.

The first thing a new official takes office is to reorganize the group's business to a certain extent.

Said to set up four major business groups.

The social business group centered on Friends.com, the on-campus business group centered on Xiaonei, the Weidian business group and the SP business group.

The person in charge of the four major business groups must serve as the vice president of Ziwei Star and also serve as the CEO of the business group.

In other words, Zhang Yiming, Ji Zian, and Guo Pengfei were to be promoted and given higher positions.

The reason is also very simple, the higher the position, the more concerned about collective interests, the lower the position, the more they like to seek personal gain.

Giving these three people the position of vice president will make it easier for the three major business groups to promote each other.

Of course Zhou Buqi saw through the deep meaning of this at a glance.

Promoting the three of them is equivalent to showing kindness. In the future, these three brothers will definitely move closer to Xu Liangjie and separate from He Yang. Even if He Yang has some ideas, the three of them are vice presidents of the group, and they have enough confidence to compete in business functions.

As the company grows bigger, workplace politics are inevitable.

Zhou Buqi knew it well, and said with a smile: "There is no SP business, and we are going to set up a business group?"

Xu Liangjie said flatly: "He Yang said that the SP business is different from other businesses. It mainly deals with China Mobile. It is best to get more data from Montnets to help us develop our business to the wireless side."

The tone was slightly dissatisfied.

Because Xu Liangjie has not been back to China for a long time, he has lived in the United States all year round, and his way of dealing with people is very different from that in China. The business in charge is okay, but if it is external communication, it will definitely not work.

So He Yang took the initiative to fight for it, saying that he would be in charge of the SP business department.

Zhou Buqi agreed to this arrangement, and it was obvious that Xu Liangjie was not very happy. He felt that He Yang did not do the logistics honestly, and took the opportunity to stand at the front desk, which was a bit opportunistic.

"Well, he came from Lenovo and has a very extensive network of connections. He must be the best candidate to communicate with China Mobile."

"I think there's one more person who can do it."

"who?"

Xu Liangjie blurted out: "Ji Zi'an!"

Zhou Buqi was not very happy, this guy had said it once before, he wanted to move Ji Zian's position, and someone else would be in charge of the Weidian business group.

I really hit the nail on the head when I got an opportunity.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Coordinating the relationship between subordinates is really more complicated than business operations and strategic design.

But facing an executive of Xu Liangjie's level, it's not easy to explode in person. If you make a mistake at work, it doesn't matter how you criticize it. But to criticize severely because of other things... renunciation and morality are light, maybe you just pat your ass and leave.

Zhou Buqi's face remained calm, and nothing unusual could be seen.

I am already dissatisfied.

It feels like this Xu Liangjie is bullying his young boss because of his extraordinary qualifications.

I have clearly rejected it last time, and I am still taking eye drops here.

This person has a level, but he has problems with his attitude and temperament.

From this point of view, he is far behind He Yang.

Not even as good as Wang Haoyang.

Wang Haoyang has a very good attitude. In order to keep the money bag for the company, he babbles every day, like a miser who doesn't want to spend money. The disadvantage is that the vision is a bit low and the level is not enough.

After three to five years, people like Zhang Yiming, Ji Zian, Guo Pengfei, Shi Jinglin, Chen Dong, Pei Yao, and Luo Ji have grown up, and the power of the company will still have to be handed over to them.

"Ji Zian's work style contradicts me." Xu Liangjie didn't realize at all that Boss Zhou had already sentenced him in his heart, and he was still arguing.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "I told Lao Zhang a few days ago, and he reacted very strongly, forbidding us to dig the palace."

"Then don't look for Gong Yu, get someone else."

"Who is it?"

"Wang Xiaochuan."

"It's him?"

Zhou Buqi was slightly surprised.

Wang Xiaochuan was the one who founded Sogou under the instruction of Zhang Chaoyang, and his resume is legendary.

When he was a junior in college, he started a business with Chen Yizhou, the boss of Thousand Oaks Interactive, and became a Chinaren. He was in charge of creating a content editing system with a very high level.

After Sohu acquired Chinaren, it immediately announced that it would abandon Sohu's own content editing system and use this undergraduate to do it instead.

Then, while studying, he worked part-time at Sohu.

From technical manager, to technical director, to senior technical director.

During this process, he has been studying at Tsinghua University.

In 2003, he finally finished his master's degree and was able to work full-time at Sohu!

Then, Zhang Chaoyang arranged a very challenging task for him, asking him to set up the Sohu Research Center secretly, which was just a cover. The real task, is to do the search!

In 2005, Wang Xiaochuan became the youngest vice president of Sohu at the age of 27.

It is unimaginable to be among the top executives at such an age. It’s fine if it’s a start-up, such as Ziweixing, the founder is so young, and the executives are generally young.

But Sohu is an Internet giant, and Zhang Chaoyang is a clueless one. Being able to stand out so quickly in such an enterprise shows how powerful Wang Xiaochuan is.

Xu Liangjie said: "Wang Xiaochuan is so young. Among Sohu's executives, he is a bit out of place, so much so that he doesn't even attend high-level meetings, and only does Sogou business."

Zhou Buqi asked in surprise, "Do you have contact with him?"

"He took the initiative."

"ah?"

"He is only 28 years old this year. He is too young to be an executive at Sohu at this age, and it is difficult to convince the public. But in Ziweixing, his age is too suitable for entrusting him with important responsibilities."

"He wants to leave Sogou?" Zhou Buqi was a little surprised.

Xu Liangjie shook his head, "I'm not sure, but his achievements in Sogou are obvious to all. It's just that due to the disadvantages of the platform, it's difficult for the two products he launched to gain market share."

That's true.

Sogou search is fighting against Baidu, and there are also international giants such as Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, etc., as well as Sina's Aiwen search and NetEase's Youdao search. How can this compete?

It is reasonable to have a market share of less than 1%.

The user experience of Sogou search is no worse than that of any search platform other than Google and Google.

Sogou input method is actually a very novel product, it is a search input method, and its practicality is beyond the traditional input method. However, since Shengyu, He Shengliang!

Before that, there was already a micro-point input method in the market, and the direction was the community input method, which was not much different from the concept of the search input method. With the resources of Ziweixing, it has occupied the market early.

If it weren't for Sohu's backing and an unreliable boss on top of its head, it might have been a success.

Xu Liangjie added, "However, I heard some news that Baidu wants to poach him to be in charge of their advertising business and provide the conversion rate of advertising."

Zhou Buqi was a little amused, "Is it an advertising distribution system?"

"similar."

"Ha ha!"

Zhou Buqi is very satisfied.

For a system that Baidu has to work hard to poach people from all over the place, Ziweixing does not need to do it here. It will be fine after Facebook is finished, and then the original code will be brought back.

According to the news that Tang Binchen sent back from Silicon Valley, he was completely shocked by the technology of the great gods of Silicon Valley, and also shocked by their endless whimsical ideas. Indicates the advertising distribution system. If there is no accident, the original version will be brought back on the National Day.

Xu Liangjie was a little confused, and asked tentatively, "Boss, that Wang Xiaochuan... shall we dig?"

"Can you dig?"

"possible."

"Then do it!"

"real?"

Xu Liangjie's eyes lit up.

Zhou Buqi snorted, "If you can really get Wang Xiaochuan here, then I will move Ji Zi'an's place and give him the position of president of Weidian Business Group!"

Xu Liangjie got the guarantee and was very excited, "Boss, as long as you can take care of Zhang Chaoyang, I can take care of Wang Xiaochuan."

Zhou Buqi said: "I can handle Lao Zhang, so I still need you?"

"ah?"

Xu Liangjie was a little disappointed.

Zhou Buqi sighed, and said, "Lao Zhang is my guide in the industry and has helped me a lot. When doing things, always consider his emotions."

Xu Liangjie didn't take it seriously, "A personal relationship is a personal relationship, and a business is a business. Business matters should be handled according to the rules of the business. As long as you don't violate the law and discipline, you won't make mistakes."

Zhou Buqi shook his head, feeling more and more that it was right to hand over the SP business to He Yang.

The domestic business environment is a little different from Silicon Valley.

In domestic business, relationships are much more important than rules.

but……

Zhou Buqi narrowed his eyes, "I can give you another idea."

"What idea?"

"The acquisition of Sogou will bring Wang Xiaochuan's entire team here."

This is probably a lot of money.

Zhou Buqi glanced at him, "You don't have to worry about financial matters. As long as you can convince Wang Xiaochuan and his team. I mentioned this to Lao Zhang, and his attitude was not at all violent. It is probably because of the low search rate on Sogou. market share has been lost.”

In his previous life, Zhang Chaoyang had lost confidence in Wang Xiaozhou several times.

In 2005, he promoted Wang Xiaochuan to be the youngest vice president of Sohu. His real intention was to put him on the map and replace Sogou with someone else. Because the market share of Sogou search is too bad. Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaozhou was very competitive, and the Sogou input method suddenly became popular.

In 2008, Wang Xiaochuan was promoted to senior vice president, and in 2009, he was promoted to CTO. As a result, Wang Xiaozhou played another good game, and launched a very successful product - Sogou Browser, which continued its life again.

Later, when I couldn't play anymore, I began to hand over power in stages.

Ali, 360, and Penguin once all had the opportunity to become Sogou's next benefactor.

In this life, Zhou Buqi wanted to make an early move.
