Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1393 Take Off Overseas
Magic City, Ziweixing International Building.

This place is by the river, and it is the core business district of the city. There are many international financial giants in the surrounding area, and it is a place where every inch of land is expensive and pure white-collar workers.

Going to work every day, the people who come and go are rich people.

Zhou Buqi has a large office here, which is more than five times the size of the office in Sohu Building, with high-end facilities, fresh and elegant environment, and a special lounge and toilet.From the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the ever-flowing Huangpu River and the place where many celebrities gather.

Working here is a luxury.

But it's also a job requirement.

This is the International Building, and it is necessary to connect Ziweixing's domestic and foreign businesses. To send good things from China to foreign countries, and to introduce good things from abroad to China, this requires a very high standard for language.

There are many foreign companies around, and many foreigners are working.With the presence of foreigners, it is more convenient to do research.

For example, if a well-made product in China is taken abroad, will it be suitable for the occasion?
This allows you to do a small survey in the country first.

Go to the surrounding enterprises, show foreigners, and get the results based on their feedback.

Zhou Buqi doesn't care much anyway, so working here is very comfortable.The president of the branch, Liu Qing, has been abroad all year round, so it is very convenient to communicate.

One of the most important things right now is the mobile version of Helo.

The US version of Apple, Android, and Microsoft have all been launched, and the Japanese version of Apple has just completed its launch.The cumulative number of overseas users reached 720 million.

Among them, the installation volume of the Apple terminal reached 700 million!
Lu Qi did a great job of promoting Helo on the Apple side.This is how business is done. The greatest business can not only meet one's own needs, but more importantly, meet the needs of the other party.

The more satisfied the other party's needs are, the more beautiful the business performance is.

There are now about 2500 million iPhones in the world, and it has already opened a hole in the mobile phone market and opened the prelude to the era of smart phones.

Jobs will not be satisfied with just making a hardware product.

What he wants to play is software and hardware.

The iPhone is a tool, and this is the business of manufacturing.According to Mr. Li Chaoren, it is best not to participate in the manufacturing industry, because it does not make money at all. If you want to make a lot of money, you still have to do a tax-collecting business.

Jobs was very powerful. He was able to make a lot of money through manufacturing against the trend. This was not enough. He designed a software ecological model for Apple and created a future tax-collecting business, that is, the Apple Store.

There are two main profit models of the Apple Store, one is advertising and the other is pumping.

But right now they lack a reasonable angle of entry.

There is no real hit product on the market that can show the significance of the Apple store advertising space.At this time, Lu Qi came to the door and brought them Helo!

The two sides hit it off!
Ziweixing only spent a mere 300 million US dollars in promotion fees, and successfully occupied the top spot in all recommended lists in the Apple Store for the next 6 months!

In other words, as long as users of Apple mobile phones open the App store, they will be brainwashed by Helo over and over again until they download and install it.

Helo has only been online in the Apple Store for a month now, and the download volume has exceeded 1100 million times, and the installation volume has reached 700 million.

It can be called the hottest and hottest app on the iPhone.

This is definitely a good start!

This achievement alone is enough for Ziwei Star to gain a firm foothold in overseas markets!

As someone who has experienced it, Zhou Buqi can understand the significance of a high-frequency app that firmly locks the user's desktop.Now is the stage when Ziweixing uses Helo to establish a flow reservoir in overseas markets!
The reservoir must be continuously filled with water and enlarged to make it a world-class Three Gorges Dam!
Overseas business can take off.

Lu Qi is doing very well, and Zhou Buqi cannot be idle.

On February 2th, Zhou Buqi flew to London with Ning Yaxian and sisters Ning Yameng, daughter Xinxin, two young secretaries Sun Guanran and Ning Lu, and second sister Shi Jingmei.There are also a few accompanying executives and assistants, so let's all take international flights.

Now, the total number of overseas Helo installations on Apple is 700 million, including 620 million in the United States, 60 in the United Kingdom, and only 20 in mainland Europe.

This is related to Apple's sales strategy.

The United States is the home base of the United States.

The iPhone started from the United States, then went to English-speaking countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, then Latin languages ​​in continental Europe, and then Asian regions such as Korea and Japan.

It also has something to do with the product.

The headquarters of overseas Helo is in the United States, and the server is in the United States. American users will use it very smoothly and conveniently.But it's difficult in the European continent. You can't use servers in other regions across the ocean, right?The response speed will be greatly reduced.

At present, Ziweixing has established a server in the UK, and Luqi has also appointed the president of Ziweixing in Europe, Paul Kona. The server opens.

This movement is already very slow.

According to Zhou Buqi's initial vision, it was at the end of last year that the business in the European region should be started, and then YikYak should be promoted quickly.Twitter's board of directors has passed a resolution to start European business.

YikYak has fallen behind.

There is no way, Zhou Buqi can understand.

Ziweixing's overseas business is very huge from the very beginning, and Zhou Da's boss is full of ambitions, and has launched several sub-sectors, "Internet + Movies", "Internet + Fashion", and "Internet + Football".

With so many things going on at the same time, Lu Qi's energy is really limited.

Generally speaking, Zhou Buqi is very satisfied with Lu Qi's work and is full of expectations.

The voyage is long.

Zhou Buqi came to take care of Ning Yaxian and Ning Yameng, while the girls gathered together...to play mahjong.

Well, the game has been upgraded.

Mostly I used to play poker.

Later, I felt that poker was not pure enough, so I placed a mahjong machine in the wine cabinet of the plane. While sipping red wine, I played mahjong. Even the flight attendants sat beside me, watching with relish.

Needless to say, mahjong is really attractive.

After a while, Ning Yameng also went to watch the excitement.

Zhou Buqi coaxed Xinxin and chatted with Ning Yaxian, mainly talking about her family affairs.Both daughters are pregnant, and being a parent has mixed emotions.However, some things have already happened, so we can only admit it.Hearing that the two daughters were going abroad to raise babies and the child was born abroad, the mother was very worried, saying that she was going to take care of her daughter.

"Okay, let the old couple travel abroad together." Of course Zhou Buqi would accept such a suggestion, "Let them go to the capital and get a work visa from Ziweixing."

Ning Yaxian was quite embarrassed, "I don't want to trouble you with family matters."

Zhou Buqi said: "What's this called? Aren't your family's affairs my business? I can't let you and Yameng have children for me. I don't care about anything. Then I won't be a scumbag? "

Ning Yaxian pursed her lips, "With so many families, can you come here?"

Zhou Buqi coughed lightly, and said cheekily: "So you have to give birth quickly, after giving birth, help me to coordinate."

Ning Yaxian gave a soft "hmm".

"What do you think? In England or in America?"

"Together with Xiaomeng."

"Well, it's fine, and then hire a few chefs from China."

Zhou Buqi nodded.

Ning Yameng is the vice president of Chaowan Commune, and her pregnancy period is 3 months later than her sister. During her stay in the UK, she will definitely pay special attention to business matters.

Chaowan Commune and Manchester United have cooperated to make a series of blind boxes for season players.

Manchester United is a club that doesn't matter every week, so this will go smoothly, she just needs a little attention.The design of the blind box figure mainly depends on the suggestions of Manchester United. The club does not like the figure that cannot be designed, and the players think it is insulting to their personal image.

At this moment, Ning Lu trotted over, "President Lei's call!"

After Zhou Buqi answered, he said simply: "I'm on the plane, the signal may not be good."

Lei Jun stopped talking nonsense, "The cooperation between Ziweixing and intramural group buying is very necessary, but... But your investment suggestion, after our research, still doesn't quite fit the positioning of Vancl."

Zhou Buqi smiled, "Understood."

He had already thought of it.

It is too difficult to change the corporate positioning of Vancl.Not only Lei Jun and Chen Nian are sad, but also investors.Vancl has had three rounds of financing before, and its valuation has reached 5 million US dollars.

The reason for getting so much money and giving such a high valuation is because this is an Internet company.

If it is a clothing company, its sales last year were only 1.1 million, so why can it raise so much money?Why can such a high valuation be given?Once Vancl's corporate positioning changes, what should investors do?Isn't all the money wasted?
The ship was in trouble and turned around.

Fancl has taken so much money from the capital market, and he can't change it if he wants to change it.The double-edged sword of capital is fully demonstrated in the case of Vancl.

How embarrassing.

Zhou Buqi paused for a moment, then said: "However, when Fancl cooperates with the intramural group buying, we must follow the intramural model, use the intramural logistics, and deliver the goods to our warehouse. This is the only basis for cooperation."

Lei Jun said unhappily, "Isn't the logistics of Xiaonei just JD Logistics? Vancl also needs to build its own logistics."

Zhou Buqi hummed: "When you build up the logistics, you won't even know that the Year of the Monkey is coming! Let's make the clothes first! At this stage, Fanke is not worthy of Jingdong as an opponent."

Lei Jundao: "The plan has been finalized. In June, enter the women's clothing market. In July, enter the children's clothing market. In August, enter the canvas shoe market. This year, Vancl will get 6% of the clothing sales on the Internet."

"Are you kidding me?"

Zhou Buqi didn't believe it at all. With the existence of Taobao, Fanke still wanted to get 30%?Isn't this pure nonsense?
Lei Jun coughed lightly, "I mean 2% of e-commerce clothing sales in the B30C field, firmly ranking first in the country."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, it's not too bad."

B2C e-commerce, Jingdong, Dangdang, Amazon's clothing sales are not satisfactory, and several other clothing B2C e-commerce can be ignored.

Fancl entered e-commerce with clothing, and the angle was chosen really well.
