Top of the big era

Ning Yaxian was a little worried about gains and losses, and her mental state was not very good.

Zhou Buqi asked her strangely, "What's wrong with you?"

"Huh? No...nothing."

"Physical discomfort?"

"Ah... yes, it's a little uncomfortable."

Zhou Buqi didn't think much about it, so he said casually: "That's fine, I won't go to your place at noon today. You go and inform the next time, and tell all members of the search decision-making team that the meeting will be held at 12:40."

Ning Yaxian breathed a long sigh of relief as if she was relieved from a heavy burden, and said with a sweet smile, "Okay."

After a while, I received a call from Zhang Chaoyang.

He is very popular in the industry, and he is known as a good old man. No matter if he is a southerner or a northerner, no matter what faction he is, everyone has contacts with him. If there is any conflict that can't be resolved, I ask him to help me set the line.

This time, Zhang Chaoyang came to act as a peacemaker, "Xiao Zhou, what's the matter with you and Chen Yizhou? I didn't set up a game last time and helped you two to settle it. Why did you start arguing again?"

Zhou Buqi said: "5Q.com, don't you know? They are also doing group buying for colleges and universities. Who in the industry doesn't know that this is my territory?"

"Competition, mutual promotion and improvement, is not a bad thing."

"Yeah, let's compete."

"How did I hear that your methods are not honorable? Old Chen has complained a lot and complained a lot."

In Zhang Chaoyang's view, there is no unresolved knot in this world.

Don't worry about food or clothing, is it necessary to be so stiff?

Free and easy will not work.

Zhou Buqi remained unmoved, "He runs his 5Q website, and I run my Xiaonei website, without interfering with each other. The students spontaneously posted some information on the inferior products of 5Q group buying on the school forum, to be wary of more people. It’s a good thing to be deceived.”

Zhang Chaoyang said: "Multiple friends have multiple paths, Xiao Zhou, you are young... it is best to be kind and have a good reputation in the industry. If you are like some people in the same industry, you will have nowhere to go if you follow other people's path , it will ruin your reputation.”

"Old Zhang, what you said is wrong, right? I created the campus market by myself, right? In the current situation, Boss Chen wants to follow my path."

"No discussion?"

Zhou Buqi sighed, "Old Zhang, I can't do anything about it. I'm not alone in Ziweixing. I made money with Boss Chen some time ago. As a result, the group buying on 5Q.com became bigger and bigger, and I was criticized."

Zhang Chaoyang frowned and said, "Why do you always get criticized? You are the boss, you don't have enough authority! There is a rule of business management, don't joke with slaves, they will disrespect you."

Zhou Buqi had heard this proverb from the West.

The general meaning is that as a boss, don't laugh and laugh with employees. The boss's approachability is worthless in the eyes of employees. You have to keep your distance and keep your seriousness in order to maintain your prestige.

This set of ideas is similar to the imperial art described in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".

You have to force yourself to accept the pride you deserve, not the harmony, just like Shi Jinglin.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "I am not like you. If you use the ancient emperor as an analogy, you are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. You have not been in court for decades, corrupt and stupid, and rare in ancient times. I want to be Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and accept advice with an open mind." , to build an empire.”

Zhang Chaoyang said angrily: "What's the matter if you don't go to court? This is called the level of management!"

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Okay, Zhang, let's not talk about it in advance. I will hold a meeting in the afternoon to confirm the advertising model of the search business. Are you free? Come and participate?"

"I?"

Zhang Chaoyang froze for a moment, is this a company secret? He got involved, which was kind of inappropriate.

Zhou Buqi said: "Come and participate, feel the atmosphere and vitality of Ziwei Star, maybe it can inspire you."

"No need!"

"Come and give me your opinion. Besides, what search engine does Sohu.com use for its search service? Let me tell you, on January 1st next year, Sogou Search will officially be offline."

"Let's cooperate?"

"Must! And I assure you, Weidian's search service is always free for Sohu!"

"Are you interested in Sohu's traffic?"

Zhang Chaoyang curled his lips in disdain.

In the United States, Google started to make a fortune by providing search services for Yahoo and obtaining the earliest traffic. The same is true for Baidu in China. It also relied on providing search services for Sohu and NetEase in exchange for the earliest traffic.

Portals must be regarded as a sunset industry in the Internet.

However, at least five or six years of prosperity.

"How about it? You have to think about it? These days, where do you go to find free search services? You can't start over and start the search business again, right?"

"I've sold it all, and I'm still a fart!"

"Come over later? 12:40, don't be late."

"I see."

Zhang Chaoyang agreed in a daze, hung up the phone, and secretly blamed himself.

Oops! I was fooled by this brat again!

My friend didn't help me, but I wanted to help him work for free.

...

Sohu Building is located in Tsinghua Science and Technology Park, so it is very convenient to eat. There is Tsinghua Canteen here, and there are many high-end restaurants specially opened for business people, and the prices are not low.

Zhou Buqi's management of the executives is relatively loose. At lunch, everyone is very comfortable and arranges their time as they please.

Under normal circumstances, Zhou Buqi doesn't go out to eat, and it makes people feel uncomfortable when they meet colleagues. So Ning Yaxian bought it from outside, and the two ate it in the office.

While eating, Zhou Buqi noticed that Ning Yaxian's complexion improved again, and her vigor returned.

"what's wrong with you?"

"Um?"

Ning Yaxian was slightly taken aback.

Zhou Buqi frowned, "What do you have to hide from me? I said that I went to your house at noon today, and your condition was so bad. This time I can't say it, and your condition has improved again. What's the matter? I'm afraid of being punished to kneel down. ? I'm joking with you, you can't even tell?"

Ning Yaxian was a little embarrassed, and said in a squeak, "I...I'm afraid of being seen."

"Your ex-husband?"

"Ah... yes! Yes, my ex-husband. We bought that house together and lived together for several years. It's weird to take you back now. It's always easy to think about the past. "

"Well, yes."

Having said that, Zhou Buqi felt a shock in his heart.

I don't want to go to her house at all.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Buqi said, "How about this, let your sister take the time to look at the house... Forget it, I'll arrange it. There are still a few vacant villas at Bihai Ark. I'll buy them later. You can take the children with you. Move there and make a clean break with your previous life."

Ning Yaxian froze for a moment, "Boss, are you going to buy me a house?"

Zhou Buqi nodded and said as a matter of course: "I don't have much cash on hand now, but after waiting for another three months, I can unblock a little Google stock, which is enough. I will arrange this matter, you just wait."

After 3 months, he can personally unlock 26,000 shares of Google stock, with a total value of more than 10 million US dollars.

With such a large amount of money back, Zhou Buqi can fully enjoy his personal life.

Ning Yaxian was very guilty, her eyes wandered, and she didn't dare to look at him.

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and said angrily: "If you follow me, you will never be wronged. In terms of life, I have girlfriends, and you will have them."

"Oh... well, well..."

The more she talked, the more guilty she felt, Ning Yaxian was in a complicated mood, hesitated for a while, and said softly: "Boss, I made a mistake. You said that you will make me kneel for half an hour, or... let's start."

"here?"

"Lunch break, close the door, no one will know."

Zhou Buqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't give me too much trouble! I can't tell, Ning Yaxian, I thought you were quite quiet and gentle, but I didn't expect you to be very flirtatious in your bones."

Ning Yaxian said: "This isn't prostitution, it's not coquettish, it's... I made a mistake, I accept the punishment."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, not taking it seriously, "What happened yesterday was just a joke, don't take it seriously."

"Then... that's fine."

Ning Yaxian looked up to the sky and sighed, feeling that this matter was difficult.

What she was talking about was not yesterday, but when she was in the United States, she showed her sister's photo to the boss. That photo is indeed her sister, but that is her cousin, not her real sister who lives in her house now...

If the boss finds out later, it will be terrible!

It seems that he has to find a way to send his sister away before moving, and he can't let him take the two sisters together.

Zhou Buqi didn't notice her small thoughts at all, so he had a casual meal, and then started to prepare to search for the meeting documents of the decision-making group.

With the foundation of Sogou, Weidian Search has all the internal organs.

If you don't understand technical things, you can't make decisions. But at the business level, he is still qualified to make a point or two. In particular, there are lessons learned from Baidu.

At the beginning of the year, Zhou Buqi helped Baidu once, and took over a stock of Baidu from Google Singer, which was worth a lot of money, and it has increased by more than 60% until now.

As an important shareholder, Zhou Buqi obtained some detailed operating reports from Baidu early on.

Now Baidu has three main profit points: hao123, Baidu Alliance and Baidu Promotion.

hao123 doesn't need much, the micro-point browser needs to be equipped with a hellologo navigation page, and it needs to grab resources.

The Baidu Alliance is an advertising alliance, that is, Baidu uses its own reputation to attract merchants from all over the country to join. Then, attract small websites and personal websites on the whole network to join this alliance, and post merchant advertisements on these small websites.

Baidu will take a cut of the final proceeds.

very dark.

up to 70%.

But even so, Baidu Alliance is also the best and largest commercial advertising alliance in China, and it is a source of income that small and medium-sized websites can use to maintain.

Ali's Taobaoke is also an advertising alliance, but it is only for its own e-commerce, and it does not have Baidu's natural advantage in traffic as a search leader, and its audience is still relatively small. However, Taobao only draws 10%, and 90% is given to Taobao.com, which is much more generous than Baidu.

As a big company with ambitions, Ziwei Star must also have its own commercial advertising alliance.

It has platforms such as Youyou.com, Weidian Security Guard, Xiaonei.com, Mobai, etc., plus the launch of Weidian Search...Ziweixing has many more resources than Baidu. And the advertising distribution system brought back from Facebook has certain technical advantages.

What happened was Baidu promotion, which is the source of all evils.
