Top of the big era

The news that Ziweixing raised 1.5 billion US dollars was officially announced to the whole society.

For a while, the whole country was hotly discussed.

Almost all the major online media are reporting on this incident. The first news in the school news is "Xiaonei net financing 12 billion", and the reading volume exceeds 2 million in one morning.

Dozens of media came to the door one after another, wanting to conduct interviews on this incident.

Ziweixing arranged for He Yang, Guo Dan, and Ji Zian to be responsible for receiving media friends and accepting some related interviews.

As for Boss Zhou...

He is taking an exam in the classroom.

It's the end of another term.

The phone in his pocket was vibrating non-stop, Zhou Buqi didn't pay much attention to it, and answered the paper quickly. He got this paper two days ago and asked the secretary to prepare the answer.

He came here this time not to answer the questions, but to fill in the answers, and he wrote down everything that should be memorized. It took only 15 minutes for Zhou Buqi to get up, and under the surprised eyes of everyone, he wanted to hand in the paper and leave.

Unexpectedly, the invigilator is very responsible.

Do not hand in papers!

Ask him to take the exam seriously and go back and check carefully.

Then make a request to all candidates that they are not allowed to hand in papers within 1 hour.

But Zhou Buqi is very busy today.

He still has to go to the principal to complete the donation of 50 million yuan, sign a pledge, and confirm the person in charge of the relevant laboratory.

Ziweixing means to let Cheng Binghao come to Beike as a visiting professor, a doctoral supervisor, and at the same time be in charge of the director of the Android language laboratory.

But Cheng Binghao has a technical secondary school degree, so it may not be convincing for him to be a doctoral supervisor. Although this kind of external doctoral supervisor is often named and does not need to teach, it is not good in name.

Even if some big leaders of state-owned enterprises graduated from elementary school, they can go to colleges and universities as doctoral supervisors after simple packaging, and they can also dredge up relationships and become academicians, because the level is too high. Private enterprises have no privileges in this regard, and must respect the basic rules of the school.

Zhou Buqi intends to go over to discuss it.

Cheng Binghao couldn't do it, so he let Xu Liangjie do it.

Ziweixing has a lot of technical talents, but most of them are too young, in their twenties and thirties, their level is enough, but their qualifications are not enough. When you go to a university to do a laboratory, you have to deal with school leaders and many senior professors.

Definitely not too young.

It actually has something to do with the school.

The laboratory that Ziweixing cooperates with Tsinghua University is headed by a young associate professor of Tsinghua University who is only 33 years old this year. Moreover, Tsinghua University also paid 50 million yuan, which is more reassuring. Beike is paid by Ziweixing, so they can't let them take care of it.

In essence, this is not a donation activity, but a business cooperation.

Zhou Buqi took the test paper and explained for a long time, but the invigilator just disagreed. He had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and call the principal, but when the teacher saw the mobile phone, his eyes widened immediately and he confiscated the mobile phone.

"Teacher, the phone is connected! It is connected!"

"Turn off...huh?"

The invigilator looked down at the phone screen, and it showed Principal Chen Tongfang.

Principal? number one?

He couldn't help but stared blankly, with a suspicious look on his face.

Zhou Buqi had no choice but to say: "Teacher, can I say a few words first, this is the principal, really the principal."

The invigilator had seen many jerk students, and thought it was a prank made by him by changing his name, and he didn't believe it at all, but "Mr. Zhou, I'm in the office, have you come?" came out from the phone... This voice was similar to that of the principal. very similar.

Zhou Buqi hurriedly lowered his head, lowered his voice, and said quickly, "Principal, I'm in the examination room. I just handed in the test paper, so I'll pass now."

"Okay, the administrative building, do you know where it is?"

"Well, I know, I'm also a student of Beike."

The call ended in a few words.

The invigilator's eyes changed, he stared at the name on the test paper, and said in astonishment, "Are you Zhou Buqi?"

"right."

"Is that the weekly device on Xiaonei?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Yes."

The invigilator twitched the corners of his mouth, and then he couldn't say anything, and quickly said: "If you have something to do, go as soon as possible, don't delay."

$1.5 billion in financing!

Such big news has already spread.

And on the Beike campus, this has become the pride of everyone. To this day, there is a studio on the Xiaonei network at the University Student Activity Center, which provides part-time jobs for some current students.

Unexpectedly, this man is so young!

Just like other students, um, I have such a good temper.

Coming out of the examination room, Zhou Buqi felt that the feeling was not good, as if he was showing off. There are hundreds of students in the examination room, so they stand out and even break the rules of the examination room.

In the future, I still won’t take the exam, just answer the questions in private and hand them in.

Looking at the phone again, there were more than 50 text messages.

Most of them are colleagues in the industry. Lei Jun, Li Yanhong, Ding Sanshi, Li Guoqing, Liu Qiangdong, Shi Yuzhu and others all sent congratulatory text messages.

Congratulations to Ziwei Star for completing the A round of financing.

It can be seen that Zhou Buqi's low-key, pragmatic, humble and friendly style has formed a good reputation in the industry in the past few years.

Many text messages are sent by competitors.

Among these text messages, there are two text messages that are very interesting.

One is President Wang of Huayi: "The financing is 1.5 billion US dollars, which is amazing. Let's call some younger sisters another day, let's get together? Let's celebrate."

The second one is Penguin's pony brother: "Congratulations on the success of the A round. I have something to talk about when I have time."

Zhou Buqi couldn't help being curious.

What is there to talk about?

The two are in a proper competitive relationship, Friends.com and Qzone are fighting! Moreover, Ziweixing just sold a wave of open platforms, cheating them of 300 million.

Wouldn't it be a matter of poaching a corner?

Ziweixing's human resources director, Wang Haiyang, went south to meet Zhang Xiaolong in Yangcheng.

There's nothing to say about that.

It's not negotiable to dig you!

...

As Zhou Buqi guessed, the school meant to let Xu Liangjie be the director of the laboratory, and at the same time hire him as a doctoral supervisor and a visiting professor.

Old Xu's qualifications are profound.

He was a computer prodigy in his early years, and later studied abroad, graduated from the Ivy League with a Ph.D., and participated in the Pentagon project. He is one of the initiators of Internet search technology.

Technology, reputation, and qualifications are all enough.

Back at the company in the afternoon, Zhou Buqi called Xu Liangjie to tell him about it.

Since I have become the laboratory director at Beike, why not go to Tsinghua's laboratory and also serve as a general consultant. After all, these two laboratories are to train talents for Ziweixing, and it will be more in Ziweixing's interests for him to control the project direction.

This is just a trivial matter, Xu Liangjie has no objection.

But on another matter, he put forward a different view.

"Guo Pengfei said, you want to boycott RSS?"

"right."

"Why?"

"Huh?" Zhou Buqi gave him a strange look, "What a bastard this technology is. Going to other people's websites to pick things up casually, at worst, is making illegal profits, almost like piracy."

Xu Liangjie was silent for a while, "Technology is a product of the development of the times, and it cannot be blocked. Traditional record companies have spent how much money to resist the spread of MP3 on the Internet these years, but is it useful? This is the trend of the times. Traditional records It's all over."

"Well……"

"RSS reading is a big trend, which came from the United States, and it is the hottest technology trend at present. It is possible to aggregate the information of several websites through one RSS website, and users only need to log in to one website. It can complete what is done by logging into more than a dozen websites. This greatly saves users’ time and improves efficiency.”

"You actually support it?"

"Why don't you support it? This is innovation, a new form of Internet technology innovation." Xu Liangjie was a little puzzled. In his opinion, Boss Zhou's thinking pattern should not be so low. "In many traditional industries, vested interests will Formulate various rules and regulations to curb the emergence of latecomers and satisfy their own interests. But the Internet is different, innovating almost every day. We can’t go against the trend. Blocking innovation is a disaster.”

Zhou Buqi was really speechless.

This is regarded as a negative boss that hinders innovation and opposes reform.

Innovation is of course important.

But at the same time, the risk of innovation is extremely high, and most of the time it is a wrong risk.

This RSS technology is absolutely wrong.

If it really works, it will be popular in the world long ago. But in fact, the self-media model represented by Toutiao is leading the entire industry. This model of going to big sites to subscribe to content simply doesn’t work.

This is probably the limitation of the times.

Zhou Buqi looks at the present with the eyes of future generations, and it is indeed a bit out of place, and it is easy to be misunderstood. As if he was resisting Internet technology, doing the opposite.

From the current point of view, Xu Liangjie's words do have some truth.

As an Internet company that is proud of technology, but is resisting new technology... If this is spread, it will indeed easily cause criticism.

Zhou Buqi pondered for a moment, "Where are the peers? Isn't this RSS model digging graves for traditional portals and blogs? Can they agree?"

"What can I do if I disagree?"

"Let's join forces and resist together."

Xu Liangjie shook his head, disapprovingly, "This is the trend! There are at least a dozen RSS websites popping up in China this year. Moreover, how tempting is this direction? Let alone boycotting, the three major portals may all compete for it. You have to rush up with a bloody head."

Then, he paused, and said cautiously: "I went to Netease to inquire about it. Netease's Youdao business is working on a similar project called Youdao Reading, which is an RSS aggregator website. You can subscribe to the content of news and current affairs, entertainment celebrities, and boutique blogs."

Zhou Buqi was shocked, "Ah? Isn't it?"

"That's it."

Xu Liangjie looked serious. He was an executive of NetEase in his early years, and he still has many friends there.

The emergence of RSS aggregators, the most harmful is the portal and blog sites, almost a disaster. Zhou Buqi thought they would spare no effort to resist.

Unexpectedly, not only did not resist, but also took the initiative to drill in.

It seems that RSS is really used as an outlet!
