Chapter 2923 The Way to Survive

Zhou Buqi's parents usually live in the UK when they are not traveling.

For dad, it's also work.

He is the official chairman of the Manchester United board.

Zhou Buqi was tied up by his business in Europe this time, and the original two-day plan was extended to 2 days. Ning Yaxian, Wen Zhixia and others who were vacationing in Monaco in North Africa also stopped their vacation and came to London.

Shi Jinglin didn't even show up and directly transferred to the United States.

Wen Zhixia was also going to the United States to be Zheng Xiaoli's assistant. But she was embarrassed to just leave. Baoshan had just been diagnosed with pregnancy, so she had to stay to congratulate her. She planned to go to the United States tomorrow and return to work.

However, most people do not have such a strong sense of career.

It’s still time to play and have fun.

When you come to the UK, you can still find a place to have fun.

London is a famous historic city that is well preserved. Even during World War II, the bombing by German aircraft was very limited. There are ancient buildings with a history of two or three hundred years everywhere, which is very interesting to visit.

They go to play.

Zhou Buqi had to go to work.

The next day at breakfast, Aunt Xue was still making arrangements as usual.

Mom is here too.

This is a bit embarrassing.

In front of others, she could always act like an elder and feel at ease. She didn't need to get involved when she saw her daughter-in-law busying around. Aunt Xue was different. My mother was really embarrassed to treat her like a daughter-in-law.

Aunt Xue wasn’t enough, now here comes Wang Yanan.

They don't know how to restrain themselves at all.

They flatter and curry favor in public.

It’s not easy to say more about this kind of thing.

Zhou Buqi had breakfast, which was made by his mother. The taste was so-so, so he pointed it out without any hesitation, "Mom, are you not cooking now? What's wrong with this? The fried eggs are so salty! Aunt Xue, go get me one."

Aunt Xue smiled gently. She was originally sitting opposite him, watching him eat.

Now I got up and started frying eggs.

This thing is fast too.

My mother said angrily, "If it's too salty, just don't eat it. There are other things here, such as ham, prawns, sugar cakes, egg cakes, black rice porridge, chicken legs, steak... Aren't there enough for you to eat? Do you have to order others around?"

"You're still talking about me..." Zhou Buqi remembered something and thought he should say something, "Mom, don't be too partial. It should be about the same."

My mother was a little puzzled, "What's wrong with me?"

Zhou Buqi said unhappily, "Baoshan is pregnant, and you are so happy that you are dancing with joy. Mimi over there is pregnant, and it's been more than 6 months, but you are so enthusiastic. My family is well managed, but you are just trying to please others."

"How can I..."

My mother's tone was very weak.

Everyone has different preferences.

There is no doubt that my mother likes Baoshan more.

In fact, it’s not just Baoshan.

Any daughter-in-law would be more recognized and loved by her than those who come from the entertainment industry, such as Yang Mi and Jiang Bingjie.

Zhou Buqi felt that this was not a good idea. "She already has low self-esteem. If you, as an elder, don't treat her well, you will create conflicts in the family!"

At this time, Aunt Xue finished making the fried eggs, brought them over, and said with a smile: "Let's go shopping later and buy a necklace for Mimi."

Mom said, "Buy two, one for Baoshan and one for Mimi."

Zhou Buqi said: "The necklace given to Mimi should be more expensive. It doesn't matter if you are confused when dealing with Baoshan. She is strong inside. The more inferior a person is, the more sensitive they are inside. You must pay attention to this aspect!"

……

Many people in China go abroad to do business, especially in the European and American markets. Often they have an inferiority complex and feel psychologically inferior to others.

It feels like taking advantage of others and I feel embarrassed.

This is actually a cognitive error.

It is caused by the general environment. It is inseparable from the culture of suppressing business in China for thousands of years and the many labels of "capitalists" in modern times.

Often only some big entrepreneurs with a broad vision can break through such cultural constraints.

Only then will it be possible to truly achieve success in overseas markets.

The purpose of doing business abroad is of course to make money from foreigners.

However, there is no shame in making money.

  Making money is not only not shameful, but also glorious!

Going abroad to invest, do business and make money is not about taking advantage of others.

Not only is it not about asking, but it is about helping.

Investment can drive local economic development; trade can improve the living conditions of local people.

You should make money in an honest and clear manner.

Unless it reaches an astonishing level...

If a business is too big and has a certain destructive effect on the local industrial structure and economic development, it needs to be properly restricted. This is actually normal, just like all countries have to fight against monopoly, because monopoly is too destructive to social and economic development.

Zhou Buqi's business has now reached a scale that is large enough to influence the industrial structure.

This is actually quite dangerous.

It is not only dangerous in Europe, but also in China and the United States. In fact, the situation is similar. Europe and the United States do not want a foreigner to have a decisive influence on a certain industrial structure in their country, while China does not want such power to be held by the private sector.

This time, Zhou Buqi and Tang Binchen flew directly to Switzerland to meet with the heads of the European Union Business Committee.

This is the main topic discussed.

How can we make money without making the other party worry that we will destroy the local industrial structure?

It's almost impossible.

Ziweixing International is a world-class Internet giant that has had a huge impact on the European Internet industry. In the past few years, when Europe was welcoming the mobile Internet era, many startups have emerged.

Most of them died.

Ziweixing International is the best company in the mobile Internet, which means that Ziweixing has the largest number of European startups.

So on the plane to Switzerland, Zhou Buqi and Tang Binchen reached a consensus on their thinking.

There's no need to hide this kind of thing.

Just have an open and honest talk.

Given the scale of Ziweixing International, it is bound to create a suffocating pressure on the local European IT industry, leading to the death of a large number of local Internet companies.

This is inevitable.

All Zhou Buqi could do was to restrain himself as much as possible and make up for it as much as possible.

Don't take it too far.

The entry of foreign giants into the European market will inevitably cause damage to the local market.

However, there is always a difference in the magnitude of the damage, and when faced with two evils, we should choose the lesser of two evils.

It will also cause damage to the European market, and Ziweixing's destructiveness only needs to be less than that of the American technology giants.

Shoot the first bird.

Let the Americans be the first to take action.

The one who stands out now is Qualcomm.

This is a great opportunity for Zhou Buqi. At least in dealing with Qualcomm, Zhou Buqi can work closely with the EU and make efforts from multiple sides to make it difficult for Qualcomm to cope with the situation and thus be defeated with one fatal blow with numerous flaws.

Taking this opportunity, Ziweixing International would also like to make its position clear.

We must take the initiative to get closer to the EU, actively cooperate with the EU, and create a long-term good relationship.

It is impossible for the EU to wipe out all American technology companies.

It is even impossible to kill any of them.

Ziweixing hid at the back, giving advice to the EU from time to time and helping them to find and fill in the gaps from an industry perspective... This was the way of survival that Zhou Buqi had designed for Ziweixing International and Estar long ago.
