Chapter 1397 Function of Push Notification

"Where are you going?"

"Hotel!"

"Hotel?" Zhou Buqi felt that he had been greatly humiliated, "Didn't you buy a house in the United States?"

Zhen Yu said, "That's in Los Angeles."

Zhou Buqi coughed lightly, "I have a house in San Francisco, just in Atherton, a big manor, is it worthless?"

Zhen Yu glanced at him with beautiful eyes, "You invited me to your house?"

"How fresh!" Zhou Buqi snorted, "Didn't you live at my house when you were in London?"

Zhen Yu shook her head lightly, "That's different."

"Why is it different?"

"At home in London, there are many people and many eyes, all staring at you."

"Uh..." Zhou Buqi took a deep look at her and said meaningfully, "Senior Sister Zhen, why do I feel that there is something in your words? I understand, if you have any misunderstandings, just speak up."

Zhen Yu's elegant and graceful face showed no emotion, she smiled lightly, "All right, get in the car."

Ziweixing has already sent a car to pick it up.

Get in the car, go home, and catch up on sleep first.

Zhen Yu knew that Boss Zhou bought a lot of super luxury houses in the United States, which cost tens of millions of dollars.But now, when I came to this large European-style manor with the words "Gentlemen's Garden" written in seal script at the gate of Atherton, I was still inexplicably shocked.

too exaggerated!

This has gone far beyond the significance of a mansion.

"How is it?" Zhou Buqi laughed, "Let's go, let's get off here, and walk all the way to have a look. To be honest, I haven't walked through such a big garden much."

Zhen Yu and Ning Lu got out of the car with him.

It was the first time for Ning Lu to come to the United States, and she was also stunned by the scene in front of her.

San Francisco in March is still very cold, only the grass has no flowers, and the trees have just sprouted.However, the scenery is not important, this configuration is too important, look at the mansion in the distance, and... is that a fountain pool?The long one is the outdoor swimming pool, right?
Zhen Yu was much more indifferent, looking left and right, "This lawn has been mowed."

Zhou Buqi smiled, "It should be, someone will take care of it."

"Who?"

"I found a Chinese to help, and I will find cleaning every week, and some weeding will be cleaned by the master. But it should not be used in the future."

"why?"

Zhou Buqi said with a serious face: "The United States is a capitalist society. Money can make ghosts go round. Some intermediary companies in human resources have approached me, saying that it is for security and confidentiality, or there should be fixed Don’t always find a team of servants from the outside temporarily.”

Zhen Yu nodded lightly, "Well, there should be a full-time housekeeper."

Zhou Buqi said: "Well, all the people have been found, and they are undergoing simple training, and they will be on duty soon."

Zhen Yu's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, "Temporary training is needed? Didn't you say to find a professional team?"

Zhou Buqi coughed, "The lead housekeeper is very experienced, but the maids under him may all be newcomers. Hmm... newcomers have a new look."

Zhen Yu's eyes were complicated, she stared at him for a while, but said nothing.

Zhou Buqi felt guilty.

In my heart, I scolded the capital society of the US imperialism, what kind of broken habit is this?Isn't it just rich, and if you have money, you have to do whatever you want?Going to beauty pageants all over the world to find a bunch of beautiful girls to be maids, what a bad habit!

I don't know who started it, anyway, public information is available, every Miss America and Miss Universe beauty pageant champion will be arranged to live in a luxury apartment in New York for free for one or two years, in the name of enjoying the benefits of life.

The male owner of the apartment was also very powerful, and later became the president.

Zhou Buqi can't help it, the general environment is like this, he can only follow the Romans.

After walking quietly for a while, Zhen Yu smiled and said: "The environment is very good. In a few months, the leaves, flowers and plants will grow, and the fountain here will be very charming. Let Ya Xian and It’s good for Yameng to come here to raise her baby. London is too noisy, and the house you bought is for work, not for living.”

Zhou Buqi breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, I think so too, let's arrange it after the housekeeping team comes over."

Because of such a small episode, Zhou Buqi's aggressiveness decreased a bit.

I'm ashamed to force Sister Zhenyu.

Take it easy!
Slowly!

Wait for skill cooldown time.

……

Netflix's board of directors didn't attend Zhou Buqi, so Zhen Yu was sent directly.This kind of board of directors is just a formality, and it is enough to obtain the right to know.He has long promised to support the decision of the current management.

Zhou Buqi took his little secretary to Ziweixing America.

The construction of Ziweixing's headquarters park in the United States has also begun.

It is the same all over the world, infrastructure projects can most stimulate GDP.

The difference is that infrastructure construction is not popular in Europe and the United States. It is not popular to demolish and build, and build and demolish the routine. After a building is built, as long as there is no risk of dangerous housing, it is impossible to demolish it.

So much so that you can often see old buildings over a century old here.

Zhou Buqi went to see the construction situation first.

I'm a little angry.

I feel that the workers are slow and lazy.

"Isn't this efficiency too low?" Zhou Buqi was very annoyed by such construction efficiency. He was used to the dynamism of construction sites in China, and looking at Laomei, he was really blatantly lazy.

No wonder there is a word called "Moyangong", which really describes foreigners.

Lu Qi was very helpless, "No way, Americans are like this."

Zhou Buqi said, "How many years will it take to do this?"

"3 years."

"Just such a small project, if it is put in the country, it will be able to move in and work steadily by this time next year!"

"We've requested that construction be expedited."

Ning Lu whispered beside him, "Can I invite a construction company from China?"

Lu Qi smiled, "That will cost a lot of money."

"Ah?" Ning Lu blinked, very puzzled, "Why? Isn't the domestic labor cost very low? The work efficiency is also high."

Knowing this, Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "It's not that simple. It's an economic crisis. This kind of large infrastructure project can get a large amount of subsidies from the San Francisco government, the California government, and the federal government."

Ning Lu suddenly realized, "No wonder, I want to give money."

This is the headquarters of Ziweixing in the United States. The scale is not too large, that is, one main building and five subsidiary buildings. After planning roads, ponds, woods, and gardens, it is almost the same.

The amount of work is less than one-tenth of that of the capital headquarters in China.

This is also early days.

If Ziweixing's overseas business is booming and becomes an independent Internet giant with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, then it will definitely continue to build a large-scale Ziweixing International Group headquarters. park.

The advantage is that the large-scale infrastructure construction in developed countries in Europe and the United States receives more subsidies than domestic ones.

Zhou Buqi asked: "Are you sure? How much subsidy can I get?"

Lu Qi said with a smile: "It's not completely sure yet. The United States has a small government. The governments at all levels are not under each other. It can be called a mess. The advantage is that governments at all levels have many people's livelihood departments and people's livelihood funds. , social charity funds, etc., all have a series of measures to ensure employment and stabilize the economy. According to the data I have at present, based on the three-year construction period, we can get about 3 million U.S. dollars in subsidies."

Ning Lu took a deep breath, "So many!"

Lu Qi said: "The main thing is the wages for the workers. The workers here are expensive. The annual subsidy is 1 million US dollars, and each worker's annual salary is 10 US dollars, which can support 1000 workers. Our engineering team has more than 1500 workers. .”

Ning Lu seemed to have tasted something, and said pleasantly: "Does that mean that if the construction takes 5 years, you can get a subsidy of 5 million US dollars?"

Lu Qi smiled, "Theoretically so."

Ning Lu wanted to say something, but Zhou Buqi glared at her, and she held back.

Policy matters do not necessarily change at any time.

Moreover, various organizations in the American society are willing to provide subsidies. This money is not for capitalists. They want to use capitalists to take the lead in launching investment projects to drive employment, and then distribute the money to the bottom-level people in the form of wages.

In the end, ordinary people have jobs, earn wages, and the social economy has a cornerstone of consumption; capitalists spend very little money and own a piece of valuable real estate.

Everyone benefits.

In fact, it is another form of Keynesianism.

From here, we can also see why the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.

The subsidy money is beneficial to both capitalists and ordinary people. In terms of the proportion of wealth harvested, ordinary people benefit even more.

However, ordinary people took the money and spent it eating and drinking in order to support their families, and they couldn't save it.Capitalists won't rush to sell the real estate after they get it. The value of the real estate will gradually increase after a long time, and the wealth will increase.

Zhou Buqi is a real rich man, of course he has no objection to this.

If Ziweixing invites construction teams from China to build the building and does not provide jobs for American workers, then there will be no subsidy.The initial plan for the project of Ziweixing in the United States was to invest US$2 million, which was later changed to US$3 million, and now it is confirmed to be US$5 million.

If you pay more than 1 million U.S. dollars out of your own pocket, and build the real estate in the form of subsidies, you can take it slowly. If you have subsidies, you can get them for nothing.

Zhou Buqi walked around the construction site, held back his temper and did not yell at the American workers, and the group withdrew.

After getting in the car, Lu Qi got down to business, arranged a job for Boss Zhou, and said, "You need to go to Apple and help me reach an agreement."

Zhou Buqi asked, "What agreement?"

Lu Qi said: "Helo's market feedback is very good, especially the function of sending pictures to friends, which is very popular among users. Many people have already said that it can replace SMS. However, compared with SMS, we still have a disadvantage. Need Apple solves it at the system level."

"Oh?"

"When a text message is received on the iPhone, there will be a sound reminder or a vibration reminder. But after receiving a Helo friend message, there is no feedback, so it is impossible for the user to know at the first time, so as to give a quick feedback. Without this function, it will greatly reduce the effect of our products.”

"Well," Zhou Buqi immediately understood, "It means to upgrade the ios system and add a function that can push notifications to the mobile application."

Lu Qi felt that he summed it up very well, "Yes! That's what it means! If this function is realized, Helo can gradually replace the current position of SMS!"
