Top of the big era

In the sales team of the open platform, there are four core members, the team leader is He Yang, and the other three deputy team leaders are Marketing Director Chen Guohuan, Pei Yao and Jiang Chengan.

Among them, He Yang is in charge of the capital business, connecting with Baidu and Sina. Chen Guohuan was in charge of taking down Alibaba, and Pei Yao was in charge of attacking Penguins.

Jiang Chengan provided technical support.

Zhou Buqi notified Chen Guohuan and asked him to prepare the team and fly to Hangzhou tomorrow.

I took a step first to meet Boss Ma.

After two o'clock in the afternoon, I arrived in Hangzhou.

Boss Ma is very laid back and spends less than three hours at work on average every day. The main reason is that he focuses on the big and lets go of the small, never caring about specific businesses, and spends more time communicating, thinking, and building external relationships.

After going to Hangzhou, Boss Ma greeted him personally.

Zhou Buqi took a female assistant and a driver, and Boss Ma took a female assistant and two male assistants. A group of seven people sat in an Iveco and went straight to the West Lake.

"The Su Causeway is full of flowers and willows are full of smoke. The West Lake in April is the most beautiful West Lake. Don't miss it!"

Boss Ma was in high spirits and seemed in no hurry to talk about business.

Zhou Buqi didn't take the initiative either, he did whatever he wanted, and glanced at his female secretary intentionally or unintentionally. She is young and beautiful, and her words and deeds are graceful, but wearing black stockings is a bit nondescript. It is estimated that it is for swimming in the lake. I am worried that the lake will reflect the scenery under the skirt and destroy the beauty of the West Lake.

From Broken Bridge to Leifeng Pagoda, green trees, red flowers, clear water, light boats, weeping willows, drizzle, mist, distant towers... the breeze is blowing, the singing of birds and swallows, and the vibrant atmosphere of spring makes people feel refreshed.

After walking for two hours, we rested and drank tea at Wanghu Tower.

It's time to talk about business.

Dinner is also arranged, Lao Ma said, just beside the West Lake, he will arrange an antique banquet, full of West Lake culture and historical legends.

"Lao Ma, why do I feel that you want something from me?"

The three male assistants were assigned to another table. This table consisted of Zhou Buqi, Lao Ma, two beautiful female secretaries, and a beautiful tea artist in a cheongsam, who still felt a bit of the spring of the West Lake.

Boss Ma said: "It's unclear. Taobao's open platform has been unable to do so, and Ali is very anxious."

Zhou Buqi glanced at him, "You still don't believe my sincerity?"

"believe."

Boss Ma nodded.

They all came here in person, so they must be sincerely willing to sell.

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "That's what you get? You pay the money and deliver the goods. You don't mean to negotiate the price, do you? That would be meaningless."

Boss Ma shook his head and sighed, "It's not about the price."

Zhou Buqi was very satisfied, "The price is okay, and everything else is easy to negotiate!"

100 million was sold to Ali. With this head start, the sales negotiations with several other companies will go smoothly.

Boss Ma said: "After calling you, I talked to our technical officer again. This... It's embarrassing to say. It's not that Ali has no technical experts, but the overall technical strength is still a bit weak. You An open platform is based on social networking, and what Taobao needs is e-commerce.”

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "It's the same, the underlying logic is the same, it's all for the website and individual users, just change some details a little bit. This project has a total of 200,000 lines of code, I let someone estimate it, you change 10,000 lines, fine-tune 20,000 lines is almost enough.”

If it is Baidu's open platform, that is, the "box computing" platform, the complexity is high, and it will involve multiple levels such as big data screening. If the 200,000 lines of code are taken over, there may be only 50,000 lines that can be used intact.

Taobao's side is very easy, and there is not much difference in essence.

Boss Ma was speechless, and looked at him angrily, "I said, Ali's current technical level is not in place. Let me tell you about NetEase. They spent 5 million US dollars to buy a game-like system from the United States. , 100,000 lines of code. It turned out to be cheated by the Americans. There was a small bug in it. Checked it out, changed a line of code, and it ran smoothly.”

"Well……"

Zhou Buqi didn't know what to say.

He is also a layman, and he doesn't understand technology, but he just heard from his subordinates that this project is easy to do.

But from the old horse's tone, it doesn't seem right.

Only one line of code was modified, and NetEase didn't understand it for a whole month. It seems to be very difficult for Taobao to modify tens of thousands of lines of code.

Boss Ma said: "I specifically asked, if you want to modify this kind of project, you must start from scratch and have an accurate and clear understanding of every line of code at the bottom layer. If there is modular packaging, it's easy to handle, if not... then it's the same Redoing a project makes no difference."

"Scaremongering." Zhou Buqi didn't believe it, with a smile that was not a smile, "Old horse, don't be devious, just tell me if you have any intentions. You can't understand me when I explain technology to you, and you still encapsulate it. Do you know what encapsulation is?"

Boss Ma laughed, "Then I'll just say it, this open platform is made by you, can you send a technical team to help?"

Zhou Buqi's face darkened, "Damn it! Old Ma, do you really think I help the poor? You helped me once when you were on Weimi.com, and I helped you once when you were on Taobao Channel, so it will be evened?"

Boss Ma sighed secretly, very helpless.

I feel that the world is changing so fast!

When Xiaonei.com started Weimi.com, there was not enough manpower. The technical team sent by Taobao helped build the website framework and realize some functions. Only two years later, the two sides have undergone fundamental changes.

I have to say that Ziweixing's progress in the field of technology is really shocking.

"I buy a mobile phone, and there is after-sales service. I spent 100 million to buy a product, but there is no after-sales technical support? Xiao Zhou, how do you do this business?"

"Headache!"

Zhou Buqi rubbed his forehead.

Boss Ma saw that his tone was loose, and smiled, "I really need your help with this matter. You sent someone over when you created the Taobao channel last time, and you know what is going on with Taobao. It just so happens that this open platform was also developed by you. Knowing both ends, it is easy to operate.”

Zhou Buqi looked embarrassed, "I'm also short of manpower! If I send someone to help you, at least a technical team of 20 or 30 people will be needed, and Ziweixing's business will have to stop again."

Boss Ma said: "You don't need to come to Hangzhou this time, just stay in the capital. I'll send someone there. Don't worry, Ali will be responsible for all the expenses during this period."

Zhou Buqi sighed, "It's not about the money, it's about delaying my work."

Boss Ma said angrily: "Didn't you brag last time, saying that Ziwei Star has nearly 1,000 technical talents? A technical team of 25 people can't be dispatched?"

Zhou Buqi said: "There are nearly 1,000 people, not 1,000 people, in fact, there are only more than 200 people."

Boss Ma was amused by him, "Stop talking nonsense, this matter is settled. If you don't help me, who else can help me?"

Zhou Buqi glanced at him, "Technical support, don't you pay some service fees?"

Boss Ma’s eyes widened, “It’s already 100 million, isn’t that too little? I didn’t buy the exclusive one. Is the price high enough? Is the money earned on my body still low? Xiaonei and Weimi.com, 200 million a year, right? Adding the Taobao channel of Youyou.com, 300 million a year is not much. There are also Weidian search, Baidu It seems that it is decided to enter C2C. Taobao can only cooperate with Weidian Search, and this business will cost two to three hundred million yuan a year at least?"

Zhou Buqi felt that he was going too far, so he laughed and made a downward gesture, "Don't, don't get excited, come, drink tea!"

Luo Qianli beside her suppressed a smile, quickly lowered her head, covered her face and drank tea.

I just feel that my boss is really bad, how can I bully him? Even if it is to pluck horse hair, it cannot be plucked from one horse, there is another one!

Uh...the other one is priced at 300 million yuan, which seems to be more aggressive.

Boss Ma waved his hand, "Xiao Zhou, you helped me with this matter. Otherwise, in the Taishan meeting, we will talk about it, how about friendship and mutual assistance? What about brotherhood?"

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Okay, I promise you! I promise you the head office, right? Old horse, old horse, you really see that I am young and bully me every day."

Boss Ma almost died of anger, "After-sales service should be paid for."

Zhou Buqi groaned for a while, and sighed: "Lao Ma, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just...the manpower on my side is too strong. I won't hide it from you, Google and Facebook are secret As for the open platform, the deputy directors of these two projects are both Chinese, and I have dug them back."

"ah?"

Boss Ma was stunned and couldn't believe it.

At the same time, I felt awe and admiration in my heart. It’s no wonder Ziweixing’s technological level is improving rapidly, and it’s no wonder that Ziweixing can create an open platform without anyone noticing it. It’s really a masterpiece!

Zhou Buqi said: "Google's deputy director is called Jiang Cheng'an. He is now the vice president of Friends.com and is in charge of the open platform. Facebook's deputy director is called Tang Binchen. You must know this. He is now the person in charge of Taobao Channel. I will help you. Taobao opened up its platform and sent Jiang Chengan there."

Boss Ma was very happy, "That's right, this is enough loyalty!"

Zhou Buqi snorted and said, "But you have to sign the contract. Ali is not allowed to recruit these people I sent for ten years! They want to join the job, and you can't ask for it. Hehe, do you think I don't know you? I have worked hard The high-level talents dug back from Silicon Valley were cut off by you halfway and fooled, am I not at a loss?"

Boss Ma was a little embarrassed, "No, no. Then sign the contract, set a higher liquidated damages, and make sure not to poach your people!"

"Um."

"So that's the deal?"

"Okay, 100 million, I will suffer as much as I can." Zhou Buqi sighed, "Old Ma, you can have fun secretly, this time I have done you a big favor!"

The Taobao open platform in the previous life was started at the end of 2006. After more than a year of work, it has no effect, and can only be operated manually like the Taobao channel. In 2008, Google and Facebook open sourced one after another, and found the backbone at once. In a blink of an eye, in 2009, Taobao used Google’s open source code to complete its own product model; in 2010, it became a platform and officially launched it; it was not until 2011 that it was market-oriented and fully opened, and Taobao’s customer gold craze broke out.

With the help of Zhou Buqi, maybe in 2009, the wave of Taobao customers will break out.
