Top of the big era

On January 20th, the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Ziweixing officially went on holiday.

Zhou Buqi is also going back to Northeast China.

In addition to Aunt Xue, Sun Wanran and Ning Lu, there are four secretaries who are willing to follow him to the Northeast for the New Year, namely Guan Nanqing, Gu Zanli, Yan Qiqi and Zhao Li Muge.

It’s not only the Chinese New Year, but also seeing the world.

Take a look at how the Big Boss family celebrates the New Year.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I got on the plane, I had already seen the world. Traveling with her on the plane were four exquisite female stars, Yang Mi, Jiang Bingjie, Li Xinwan and Dili Reya.

Let's take a plane to Northeast China.

Even Zhou Buqi felt a little dazzled.

There are too many people here.

There are still a batch of them from my hometown.

Even though there are three large villas in the Zhou family's ancestral home, they feel like they are not enough to live in. Maybe Zhou Buqi would have to work hard again and have to squeeze into a bedroom and a bed with a group of people.

Fortunately, spring only lasts for a few days.

It passed quickly.

The Chinese New Year is a time of joy but also hard work.

On the plane, Gu Zanli felt dizzy and a little lost.

When she went on a business trip to the United States before, the big boss told her that he had adopted a goddaughter who was a Uighur like her, and that he would introduce her to them when he returned to China.

For this reason, Guzanli specially bought three "Barbie dolls" in Hollywood, hoping to give them to the little girl to make her happy.

Now we meet.

My whole body was numb.

It turned out to be a female college student studying at Nortel, only two years younger than her.

This time, I realized that the big boss had such an identity. He is not only an important shareholder of Jieyu Media and Huayi Group, but also a hidden godfather in the entertainment industry.

Although Ziweixing is on vacation, many senior executives have not left yet.

Among them is Zhang Yiming.

During the Spring Festival, more than 600 people at Ziweixing's headquarters will stay in the company to work overtime. With so many employees working overtime, just paying them overtime pay is not enough; they must also be given some spiritual support.

If Zhou Buqi is not around, then it can only be Zhang Yiming.

He will not go back to his hometown for the New Year.

We have made an appointment for the New Year’s Eve dinner, which will be held in the large cafeteria in the park with the employees who stay behind and work overtime in the company.

Zhou Buqi felt a little sorry for "escaping from the battlefield", so he called Zhang Yiming to express his condolences and appeasement. However, after a few words, the topic turned to work.

Speaking of the development of mobile Internet, Zhang Yiming said happily: "It is developing very smoothly. There are now 18 mobile apps in China with more than 30 million users, including 12 of them from Ziweixing."

Zhou Buqi had never seen the data in this area and was a little unbelievable, "Is it so much?"

Zhang Yiming smiled and said: "We started working early and deployed faster. WeChat, Weibo, Weidian, Toutiao, Friends.com, UC Browser, UC Mobile Assistant, UC Reader, Weidian Mobile Guard, and Weidian Browsing device, micro-music and beautiful pictures.”

"Where's the school network?"

"No, the campus network is probably over 20 million."

"The market is not enough."

Zhou Buqi sighed.

Today's Xiaonei.com is almost a must-have app for college students, but it only has a little over 20 million. This means that smartphones are still not popular enough among college students, and the price is still too expensive.

Zhang Yiming said: "Nowadays, apps are mainly tools. There is an app called Chacha, which has more than 68 million users."

Zhou Buqi asked: "What are you doing?"

Zhang Yiming said: "Just checking the product barcode, I really can't see the future direction of this product. Several project teams have reported that they want to develop a similar product, but I rejected them all."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "I don't see any potential value. If I don't do it, I won't do it."

Zhang Yiming said with a smile: "Among the 18 super apps, in addition to the 12 from Ziweixing, Penguin has two, namely Mobile QQ and QQ Space, and Alibaba has Taobao. Only Baidu does not even have a super app. Their mobile phone Baidu has just over 20 million users."

Zhou Buqi sighed, "This is the beginning of falling behind!"

Zhang Yiming smiled and said: "That's not necessarily the case, it depends on what you mean."

"oh?"

"The changes you asked me to quietly make at the strategic and business levels seem to be working."

"You mean..." Zhou Buqi reacted immediately, took his mobile phone and avoided Guzanli and Dilireya who were sitting opposite, got up and walked to the office area further back, whispering, " You mean UC?"

Zhang Yiming said: "Yes, it is UC. UC Group is now an independent subsidiary of the most popular mobile terminal in China. UC Browser has 110 million users, UC Mobile Assistant has 74 million users, and UC Reader has more than 32 million users. .You know, WeChat has only 67 million users, Weibo has only 54 million users, and Toutiao has only 37 million users."

It can also be seen from the data how fast the country has changed in recent years!

Although the domestic 3G network is seven or eight years later than that of Europe, the United States, South Korea and Japan, and although the domestic mobile Internet is two or three years later than that of developed countries... However, the domestic development is too fast. In just a few years, there are already overtaken countries. It's trending.

In today's era, if an app has more than 30 million users around the world, it is considered a super app. Helo, which has the largest number of users in the world, only has 170 million users.

But in the domestic market alone, there are 18 super apps with more than 30 million users.

This kind of data is enough to illustrate the truth that China will be the fastest, fastest and brightest market in the global mobile Internet industry!

In common domestic arguments, "domestic" and "foreign" are often juxtaposed, as if there are only two countries in the world, one is the motherland and the other is foreign.

But in the era of mobile Internet, in the next ten years, domestic Internet companies can really support such a main theme.

Domestic and overseas can really be juxtaposed.

Of course, from the perspective of market size, it is not of the same order of magnitude at all.

The reason why they can be tied is that domestic policy support is too strong and development is too fast.

Ten years later, the development of domestic mobile Internet has reached a bottleneck, and all fields have basically been developed. In the same period, the overseas mobile Internet market may have just developed 20%.

This requires Ziweixing to be fast when entering the domestic market, to race against time, and not to fall behind even a step.

Similar data has come out.

Presumably technology giants like BAT have also seen it and will have similar analysis.

It is conceivable that starting from this year, the domestic mobile Internet wave has really arrived, and major companies have begun to shift their development focus towards the mobile terminal.

Baidu is lagging behind, and Alibaba is a little behind.

Penguin can be at the forefront with QQ, a flagship product.

Zhou Buqi walked to the deserted office area, and then communicated with Zhang Yiming about this most confidential matter of Ziweixing, and asked: "So, the plan was successful?"

Zhang Yiming said: "The possibility is very high. I just communicated with Baidu. They are very interested in UC Group. Baidu's products have fallen behind, and mergers and acquisitions are the best way to solve the problem. Although UC Group It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ziweixing, but it has maintained independent operation in the past few years, which is an opportunity for our friends and businessmen."

Zhou Buqi asked: "What is the current valuation of UC Group?"

"This..." Zhang Yiming hesitated, "It's hard to say, it depends on the power of the mobile Internet wave. There is also the urgency of the giant's transformation."

The price of goods is not determined by the value of the goods, but by the relationship between supply and demand.

The actual value of UC Group may not be too high.

However, under the vigorous wave of mobile Internet, technology giants are eager to transform towards the mobile terminal. This gives UC's products more contemporary significance.

Just like Baidu, if the transformation fails, Baidu's products will face elimination. If you acquire UC and combine UC products with Baidu's product matrix, you can bring valuable mobile users to Baidu's products.

This added value is too great.

If Alibaba also has this demand, and both companies are very urgent and start bidding, then UC Group can sell it at a sky-high price.

Zhou Buqi asked: "Where is Ali? Did Ali react?"

Zhang Yiming said: "No, it seems that Alibaba is busy buying back shares from Yahoo. There are also rumors that they will delist from the Hong Kong stock market, and the financial pressure is quite high."

Only then did Zhou Buqi remember it and said repeatedly: "Yes, you are right. Alibaba will not make any big moves in a short time. Unless Alibaba goes public in the United States as a whole, it will launch a large-scale of mergers and acquisitions.”

Although UC is developing very well now, UC products are all tools.

This thing was useful in the early stages of the development of the mobile Internet, but became useless in the later stages. So Zhou Buqi had already planned to find an opportunity to sell UC at a high position!

Zhou Buqi even asked Zhang Yiming to secretly make small moves behind his back, secretly transferring some of UC Group's management geniuses, product geniuses, and technical geniuses to other business lines of Ziweixing.

After the UC is packaged and sold, it will not cause the loss of too many top talents. It will be too late to transfer talent when it comes time to sell.

But Ali is busy with other things now, which is a bit troublesome.

Without Alibaba's bidding, UC Group might not be able to sell at a high price.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yiming suddenly mentioned another company, "Microsoft seems to be increasing its investment in the domestic market."

"Um?"

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows.

Zhang Yiming said: "China has now strengthened the protection of intellectual property rights, which makes Microsoft full of hope for the future potential value of the domestic market. Also, the development data of domestic mobile Internet in the past year is amazing. Don't look at it Our 3G network speed is almost the last, but the growth of 3G network users is the first in the world."

Zhou Buqi asked: "Microsoft? Are you saying that Microsoft might be interested in UC?"

"It's not possible." Zhang Yiming paused and gave an astonishing statement, "They have already asked for the price, and it's not from Microsoft China, but from Microsoft's Seattle headquarters."
