Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1810

Also a starlet who hasn't made much debut, Jiang Shuying is much better than Tang Yixin. First of all, she has a good family background. She has been Bai Fumei since she was a child, and she is fluent in English. She even went to a famous British university to improve her degree.

Shopping in London, Tang Yixin is like a little girl in the class, holding her arm, full of curiosity about everything.

However, in the matter of Mr. Zhou, both of them are similar.

They all think Mr. Zhou is too mysterious.

She was so mysterious that even the sister next to her had no idea what relationship she had with Mr. Zhou.

There can only be a rough guess.

In comparison, Jiang Shuying is smarter and more insincere, "Have you made a lot of money by buying so many expensive clothes?"

"Um……"

Tang Yixin bit her lip lightly, hesitated for a moment.

Jiang Shuying then asked: "Then you should have acted in a lot of plays, right? What's there, I'll watch it when I'm free."

Tang Yixin was a little shy, "There is someone who has never acted in anything. He just filmed a costume film and it hasn't been broadcast yet."

Jiang Shuying looked very surprised, "Then where did you get so much money?"

"This……"

Tang Yixin faltered and hesitated.

Jiang Shuying smiled slightly and blinked, "Mr. Zhou gave it to you?"

It's not hard to guess.

Jiang Shuying didn't know Tang Yixin at all before, and this time the two went out shopping together, and it was Mr. Zhou who brokered the match.Thinking of the relationship between myself and President Zhou, it is not difficult to guess the relationship between the other party and President Zhou.

I'm asking this right now just to make sure.

Seeing Tang Yixin's blushing and hard-to-speak, it is very likely that she guessed it right.

Jiang Shuying took advantage of the situation and asked, "How much does Mr. Zhou pay you a year?"

"Sister Shuying, don't embarrass me."

Tang Yixin looked pitiful, she didn't dare to talk about such things casually.She's fine, she's afraid of exposing Mr. Zhou's privacy.

Jiang Shuying sighed lightly.

Tang Yixin was a little nervous, "Sister Shuying, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Shuying said very calmly: "You don't need to be nervous, Zhou is always your benefactor, and also mine. Mr. Zhou introduced us to each other because he wants our sisters to get along with each other."

"Ah?" Tang Yixin's mouth opened wide, and she suddenly realized something, and she was surprised with relief, "Sister Shuying, you are also Mr. Zhou's... friend?"

Jiang Shuying pursed her lips and said "um".

Tang Yixin felt at ease now, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "That's good, I was worried that I'd slipped my mouth just now, and it would affect Mr. Zhou's reputation."

Zhou Buqi originally wanted to support Jiang Shuying, just like Yang Mi.After some investigation, I found that her level didn't seem to be enough.But even so, she is much better than Tang Yixin.

Jiang Shuying needs to be more knowledgeable, with stronger aura and leadership. The two of them knew each other for less than an hour, and she was already the backbone of the two. She smiled and said, "If it wasn't like this, how could Mr. Zhou Introduce us?"

Tang Yixin took her arm and became more intimate. She said with a smile, "Then we are good sisters. Mr. Zhou is so kind. He even introduced me to a good sister after going abroad."

Jiang Shuying couldn't laugh or cry.

Tang Yixin leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Sister Shuying, how much does Mr. Zhou pay you every year?"

Jiang Shuying glanced at her, turned her back, "What about you?"

"I..." Tang Yixin hesitated, but said honestly, "3 million in three years."

Jiang Shuying was amused in her heart. Logically speaking, this kind of thing is the same as the salary of employees in the company. Normally, employees are not allowed to discuss each other's salary.

This Tang Yixin really has no scheming at all.

But this is also a good thing, at least it can be easier to get along with each other, and there is no need to intrigue.

The two sides are not in a competitive relationship.

Jiang Shuying shook her head lightly, "I'm not short of money."

"Ah?" Tang Yixin was surprised and couldn't believe it, "Did Mr. Zhou not give you any money?"

Jiang Shuying gave him a blank look, "What is Mr. Zhou's identity? Could he be so stingy? I didn't want it."

"why?"

Tang Yixin couldn't understand it.

Jiang Shuying said: "I am not short of money."

"That's not..." Tang Yixin was a little dizzy, "It's a free job, that's too much of a disadvantage!"

Jiang Shuying was amused, "What are you talking about? Your thinking is too feudal. In this kind of thing, whoever suffers will take advantage?"

Tang Yixin bit her lip lightly, "We are girls."

Jiang Shuying felt that she couldn't explain this kind of thing clearly to her. After thinking about it for a while, she still said: "I think some things are more important than money. Do you know Mr. Zhou's arrangement today?"

Tang Yixin shook her head.

Jiang Shuying said: "In the morning, Mr. Zhou will sign a contract with someone from Spotify."

Tang Yixin said: "Yes, I know. When I came here, I heard it on the plane. It seems to be Spotify's C round of financing... It seems that the valuation has reached more than one billion US dollars. I don't know what kind of company is so valuable."

Jiang Shuying didn't explain much to her, "In the afternoon, Zhou will always discuss cooperation with people from Microsoft. It seems that the Microsoft team flew from Silicon Valley to London."

"Wow!" Tang Yixin's knowledge of the technology industry is limited, but Microsoft is so famous, probably the most influential company in the world, "President Zhou is too powerful."

Jiang Shuying nodded, and said with great emotion: "Yes, Mr. Zhou is very powerful. The more you get in touch with him, the more you will feel that he is so great."

Tang Yixin was confused, "And then?"

Jiang Shuying was a little smug, and the corner of her mouth curled up slightly, "I will also go to discuss cooperation with Microsoft in the afternoon!"

"Are you going too?"

Tang Yixin's eyes widened, it was hard to understand.

Jiang Shuying said: "I think the greatest wealth is to see the world by Mr. Zhou's side."

"Oh……"

Tang Yixin was in a daze, feeling that this Miss Shuying was a bit inexplicable.

In the afternoon, Zhou Buqi met with a group of Microsoft at Ziweixing's London headquarters, led by Steven Sinofsky, the senior vice president of Microsoft.

This person is very powerful, and the office product ecology was developed by him.

This also shows that the direction of cooperation between Microsoft and Ziwei Star this time is mainly around office.

Prior to this, Zhou Buqi had already negotiated with Bill Gates. Ziweiyun intends to introduce Office to its own platform and help Microsoft sell office products through Ziweiyun's platform.

After some internal back and forth, Microsoft agreed.

However, there is also a prerequisite, which is to add Microsoft's Bing search to the products recommended by the search platform of Ziweixing's offline channel promotion project "Manual".

During the negotiations, some disagreements emerged.

Mainly generated around the office.

The current CEO of Microsoft, Ballmer, is a diehard. He drew a bottom line for the cooperation between the office product ecology and Ziweiyun, that is, there will be no share!

That is to say, it is ok to sell Office on Ziweiyun's platform.

However, Ziweiyun does not participate in the dividend distribution of the sales proceeds, and all proceeds belong to Microsoft.This is obviously a very harsh condition, and Kurian firmly refused.

In the end, it was Zhou Buqi who tried his best to overcome all opinions, made a decision, and strongly promoted the cooperation between Ziweiyun and Microsoft.

If you don't share, you don't share!
In the worst case, Ziweiyun will help Microsoft to work for free and help them sell products for free.

The agreement was reached, and everyone was happy.

Zhou did not attend the evening reception, Microsoft only sent a senior vice president, Bill Gates and Ballmer did not come, and the boss Zhou did not need to come forward to entertain.

Jiang Shuying was with her throughout the whole process. Her English is very good, and she could hear the negotiation and confrontation in the afternoon clearly.

Just confused.

In the evening, she and Tang Yixin went to Mr. Zhou's home on Cowley Street. During dinner, she couldn't help asking: "Mr. Zhou, the negotiations with Microsoft this afternoon... I don't quite understand."

"Oh?" Zhou Buqi's eyes lit up, admiring her, "Why don't you understand?"

Jiang Shuying said: "The cooperation between Ziweiyun and Office... I don't quite understand the specific cooperation method. It probably means that Ziweiyun contributes people, efforts and venues to help Microsoft sell Office products. The money sold, It's all owned by Microsoft, and Ziweiyun doesn't charge any fees, is that right?"

Zhou Buqi smiled, "Yes."

"Isn't this a disadvantage?"

"Loss?"

"Yeah, isn't this working for Microsoft for free? I don't think everyone agrees..."

"Wait a minute." Zhou Buqi interrupted her, strangely, "Who says everyone disagrees?"

Jiang Shuying was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it? Those under your command are against it."

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "That's just what you saw, they said they were against it, how do you know whether they agree or disagree in their hearts?"

"Ah?" Jiang Shuying was startled, "You mean they are acting?"

As a professional actress, she was shocked.

Analyzing it with a professional eye, I really didn't see the slightest trace of performance.

Zhou Buqi said: "Acting is not enough, support is sincere, and opposition is also sincere. Commercial choices are often not a choice between 'right and wrong'. This choice is too easy. Everyone knows that Choose the right one. The real complexity is choosing between 'right' and 'right', 'wrong' and 'wrong'."

"Ok?"

Jiang Shuying was at a loss and confused.

Ning Yaxian next to her smiled lightly and explained: "Just like Wanda Mall, every time a new Wanda Plaza is opened, it has to attract merchants to settle in. If the effect of attracting investment is better, Wanda has to go to Armani, Hermès, etc. World-class big brand stores. In order to attract them to open stores, Wanda has to give them free space rent, free sales commissions, and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to help them decorate the store. By doing free work to attract Tai Zhuzi When these big brands come, those small and medium-sized brands will rush to enter, and the business model of a new Wanda Plaza will be established.”

With such an analogy, Jiang Shuying suddenly realized.

Thinking about it again, isn't that what I did!

Tang Yixin believes that Mr. Zhou can make a lot of money when he is the patron.Jiang Shuying also thinks that Mr. Zhou is the sponsor, but it is free... It seems that he is at a disadvantage, and he is working for Mr. Zhou for free.

In fact, what she wanted was to bring herself more knowledge, experience and resources through Mr. Zhou.

Working for free is not about wanting nothing, but wanting more.
