Top of the Great Era

Chapter 2006 Reading Club

The logic of strong binding is actually the consensus of the Internet industry at home and abroad, especially the main means of the platform economy.

Why was eBay defeated by Taobao when it was the largest C2C e-commerce platform in China?
Because the merchants have turned to Taobao.

Why is the Magic Sword Shumeng not working anymore?

Because the author ran to the starting point.

For the platform, the biggest strategic risk is that some special circumstances have caused these third-party merchants to leave.

Without merchants, naturally no consumers are willing to come.

Therefore, in order to solve this kind of strategic risk, we need to do two things.

The first is to find a way out from the self-employment level.

You can't put all your hopes on others, you must be self-employed.

Especially for large platforms, we must find out the attributes of self-operated, and give a strong resource preference to the self-operated channel, so that the self-operated channel becomes the core and most valuable resource of the platform.

In case of an accident, third-party merchants have switched to other platforms. Relying on self-operated platforms, at least the core basic market can be maintained, thus retaining the opportunity to fight back and make a comeback.

The second is to find the strong binding relationship of these third parties.

Things like this are pretty much the same.

It's nothing more than a few routines.

Either sign a contract and not allow switching to other platforms; or find a business mechanism to increase the cost of third-party switching; or provide the best service so that third-party platforms cannot switch to other platforms; Monopoly, benefit transmission and other means.

The whole purpose is to bind the product and the user, so that you can't do it if you don't want to.

Just like WeChat.

This is actually a strong binding product.

At first glance, it seems that no one is coercing users to use WeChat.However, when the chained interpersonal relationships are all stored on WeChat, the transfer cost will be greatly increased, and it cannot be changed even if you want to.

Another example is a mobile phone number.

After the real-name system, the mobile phone number has been registered on all platforms, and it is almost impossible to change the mobile phone number at this time.

"Self-operated + strongly bound third party" is the core competitiveness of large Internet platforms.

Kurian is world-class in terms of technology and engineering; he is also world-class in terms of operation and management; but the design of the business model may not be so clever.

At least it didn't give Zhou Buqi a refreshing feeling, it was a more conventional business strategy.From this point of view, Kurian is not as good as the domestic team.

However, the development of Ziwei Cloud's native database is an engineering project, which is related to very complex and high-end underlying technology, which is Kurian's strength.

After a phone call, Zhou Buqi could hear the anxious state of the other party.

It's normal to say.

Ziweiyun was a bit late here, if he didn't seize the time, how could he catch up from behind and surpass Amazon Cloud in terms of progress?

Kurian tried every means to win the support of the big boss, speaking with sincerity.

For such an imminent event, don't engage in democratic voting, and don't waste time on company processes.

Boss Zhou, if you should be arbitrary, just be arbitrary!
You give an order, and it's settled!
You can start immediately!

Wasted precious time in the bickering and chatter of various meetings, the day lily is cold!

Zhou Buqi originally wanted to spend a few more days to find a more appropriate way to deal with it.

After all, giving up this version of the domestic cloud database is a bit of a blow to morale.

But Kurian was in a hurry.

And he has a good point.

There is not much time left for Ziweixing, so we must act quickly!

After thinking about it, Zhou Buqi agreed, "I will give you the result within a few hours!"

"Okay!" Kurian was excited, "Okay! I will always wait here!"

There is a kind of momentum that if you don't get the result, you won't sleep tonight.

It's still morning here in China.

Zhou Buqi talked to Kurian on the phone, and sat in a chair to meditate for a long time.

Sun Guanran walked over at some point and knocked on the table.

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi looked up, and then realized, "Oh, what's the matter?"

Sun Guanran said: "Guo Dan wants to tell you about the current situation of the real estate rental market..."

"not see!"

Zhou Buqi waved his hand.

"what?"

Sun Guanran was stunned.

Zhou Buqi coughed, "Let her go back first, I will look for her in two days, I have something to do here."

Sun Wanran nodded lightly, "Yes, yes."

Seeing her leave, Zhou Buqi stopped her, "By the way, Wanwan, let's talk about the decision-making committee, strategy committee, technical committee, or the internal meetings of the Ziwei Cloud business group, as well as the Sino-US Cloud Minutes of computing business communication, etc., and all meeting materials related to cloud databases, find out and give them to me."

Sun Wanran turned her head, her eyes were surprised, "Do you want all of them?"

"Yes, both."

Zhou Buqi seldom reads such meeting materials, and he doesn't want to spend his time in Wenshan meetings.

This has something to do with his foresight.

Just like the product "WeChat".

This is the most important strategic core product of Ziwei Star at present. It has the highest priority in the company, and all business lines attach great importance to it.

However, it is very easy for Zhou Buqi.

He is too familiar with WeChat.

Therefore, when others encounter some differences in the design and operation of WeChat products, Zhou Buqi does not need to look at various materials to summarize various information.

Within a few seconds, he can give the most accurate plan and decision.

The reason why Ziweixing has been able to develop so fast in the past few years is due to the super-powerful business intuition and keen judgment of Boss Zhou.

However, the scale of Ziweixing is getting bigger and bigger, so that there are many fields that he is not familiar with, which is very troublesome.

Such as cloud computing.

For example, cloud-native databases.

Zhou Buqi only knows superficially, and can only have some superficial insights. He really can't give the best solution in a blink of an eye like in the past.

There is no other way, he can only smooth out the information gap through Wenshanhuihai like other people in the industry.

You need to have enough information in order to make an accurate judgment.

This morning, Sun Guanran and Ning Lu got busy.

The two of them are responsible for finding meeting materials from other businesses.

Most are archived electronically.

There were too many materials, and the two of them alone could not be busy at all.

At this time, the newly recruited 9 new girls came in handy. They were responsible for screening the materials, then printing them out and handing them over to the big boss.

At noon, a very interesting scene occurred in the chairman's office.

Everyone sat on the ground.

Zhou Buqi was in the middle, surrounded by 11 beautiful girls, Sun Guanran, Ning Lu, Guan Nanqing, Gu Zanli, Yao Yao, Mai Feixue, Yan Qiqi, Zhuo Wensi, Zhao Limuge, Liang Lexin, and Li Shuruo.

I don't know, I thought he was immersed in the flowers, enjoying the happiness brought by the beauty.

In fact, he was really doing business.

There are so many materials, everyone will look at them together in batches.

When you see important content, pass it to the big boss, or read it directly, and everyone can refer to it together.

It was the first time for Zhou Buqi to hold this kind of reading club-like activity. He thought it was quite interesting and the effect was quite good. The men and women matched and the work was not tiring.

For the nine new secretaries, it was an incomparable happiness.

This is the first time they have been so close to the big boss since they joined the company!
Moreover, he also participated in the highest project of the company's strategic decision-making level!
What a rare opportunity is this?

too excited!

So magnificent!

Even working until noon, everyone was still immersed in thousands of meeting materials, and there was a kind of atmosphere where the sky was old and time stopped, and they were immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves.

Men are at their most attractive when they are working hard.

Naturally, it also infected every girl here.

"Okay, it's almost there." Zhou Buqi stretched his waist, and looked at the time, it was already 12:[-] noon, "No wonder I'm a little hungry. Wanwan, what should we do at noon?"

Sun Wanran pursed her lips and said, "It's already been arranged. It's in Box No. 2 in No. 3 canteen. We just go there."

"Then go!"

Zhou Buqi put his hands together, stood up, and then went to pull the two girls beside him.

One is Ning Lu, needless to say.

The other is Zhuo Wensi.

When she was pulled up by the little hand of the big boss, she felt dizzy all at once, her heart was bumping like a deer, her pretty face was flushed with a little bit of secret joy, but she was embarrassed that the public had shown too much , can only whisper: "Thank you."

Zhou Buqi took everyone to the staff cafeteria in the park for dinner. On the way, he had already thought of countermeasures, "At 01:30 in the afternoon, the decision-making committee will hold a meeting, let Ni Qiang, Zheng Mengxiao, Meng..."

Seeing that the big boss seemed to have forgotten his name, Mai Feixue who was next to him hurriedly added, "Meng Fan, the scientist of the cloud database, he, Ni Qiang, Zheng Mengxiao, and Li Gaoming are all experts who joined the same group and came back from the United States."

Zhou Buqi glanced at her and smiled, "Maizi is smart."

Mai Feixue smiled like a flower, and was praised in public, as sweet as eating honey, raised her fair chin, and said with a light smile: "It's all the boss who taught me well. I want to learn from the boss forever."

Such undisguised flattery really surprised these young girls with little social experience.

Aren't you shy?
Are you too thick-skinned?

This Maizi was not like this some time ago. Since he went on a business trip with the boss to the UK, he seems to be a different person when he comes back.Well, it cannot be said that it is changing in a bad direction.

I have to admit that the wheat is much more mature.

It even has the right to speak in this small group.

Such a right to speak does not come from the gifts she gave, but the aura of seeing the world exuded from her, which will become an internalized personal charm, thereby affecting the people around her.

I'm so envious!
