Chapter 2387 Technology changes the world

In fact, when Zhou Buqi communicated with Lu Qi for the first time, he already had his own idea, and he had murderous intentions towards Flash. This is not only at the level of corporate strategy and business development, but also related to the transaction between UC Group and Microsoft.

Boycotting Flash will help sell UC Group at a higher price.

However, this kind of technical route selection is not what he is good at after all.

There is no arbitrary decision-making.

I have been contacting many people about this issue in the past few days, and even the two co-CEOs of Changyou, a gaming company, have expressed their opinions one after another.

A total of more than a dozen people were consulted for their opinions.

Divided into three factions.

1. Support Flash.

In the past few years, the reason why Flash has dominated the world is mainly due to technical reasons. The technical level of Flash is very high, and it is better than other similar products on the market!

Much more powerful than Microsoft's Windows Media Player.

At the beginning, Microsoft was not convinced and even went against Flash. Later, I found that I couldn't do it, so I switched to supporting Flash. Even the IE browser defaulted to the existence of Flash, excluding its own competing products.

At this time, although HTML5 is coming fiercely, there is still a big gap compared to Flash in terms of technical level. If Ziweixing International wants to produce world-class products, of course it must use world-class technology.

There are many people who hold similar views, including Yang Zhiyuan, Zhang Yiming, Thompson, Mattrick, Kevin Johnson, Paul Koerner and others.

The second group believes that Flash and HTML5 should be developed simultaneously.

It means being a fence-sitter.

We will not reach an in-depth strategic cooperation with Adobe, nor will we exclude Flash technology. At the same time, we must also promote the development of our own HTML5 technology.

In key places, we must insist on using Flash technology, which can make the product more effective and more stable. In some uncritical places, less mature HTML5 technology can be used to keep pace with the times and not be left behind by cutting-edge technology. When the time is right, you can decisively abandon Flash and fully switch to HTML5.

This is the most prudent strategy.

Supporters include Tang Binchen, Guo Pengfei, Chen Dong, Shen Xiangyang, and Gore Lewis.

The third group is clearly opposed to Flash.

I think Ziweixing should unabashedly express its attitude, draw a clear line with the bloated, decadent, and outdated Flash, actively invest in the field of HTML5, and look to the future!

Supporters include Lu Qi, Xu Liangjie, Chief Technology Officer Remy, Vice President of Product Ross Li and others.

Surprisingly, Lao Zhang also participated.

Zhou Buqi thought he could enter the bridal chamber after talking to Don Mattrick on the phone, but Lao Zhang called right after, "Why did you go to Europe?"

"Attend a wedding and spend a few days on vacation in Spain."

"It's quite cool. Someone else is getting married, but you're spending your honeymoon?"

"Talk about something!"

Zhou Buqi was in no mood to talk nonsense with him, he was still busy over there.

Zhang Chaoyang said: "I read your email. What happened? Did you have sex with Flash?"

Zhou Buqi said: "It's not about working with Flash. There is a choice, whether to establish in-depth strategic cooperation with Adobe, which mainly revolves around the differences between Flash and HTML5."

Zhang Chaoyang didn't ask much about the specific details of the cooperation. It was just that each got what it needed and had its own benefits.

Zhang Chaoyang said: "If you ask me, there is nothing to hesitate. We should cooperate with Adobe. Flash is so good and the technology is so advanced."

Zhou Buqi said: "Many people say that Flash technology has fallen behind."

"How backward!" Zhang Chaoyang snorted, "Flash is definitely the best technology in the field of video display. I don't know about foreign countries, but domestic video websites all use Flash technology. You don't know, Before Flash dominated the world, how would it be to watch videos on the Internet? If the online video was not buffered for dozens of seconds, it would be impossible to move at all. But Flash’s flv container format and vp6vp7 video compression algorithm suddenly arrived. Only then did the world finally understand that it is not necessary to buffer to watch videos, and videos can also be watched in seconds. The same is true for social games including "Friends Network", "Parking Space", "Happy Farm", "Crazy Restaurant", etc., they do not all rely on Flash to fulfill?"

Zhou Buqi agreed, "It makes sense."

Zhang Chaoyang continued: "You can't avoid Flash at all, and there are no alternatives on the market now. HTML5 is not yet mature and cannot be completely replaced. Since you can't avoid Flash, why should you avoid it? If you can still use Flash, How cost-effective is it to gain some strategic benefits from Adobe?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Yes."

Zhang Chaoyang said strangely: "Aren't you quite smart? With such a good deal, why do you have any hesitation? You must cooperate with Adobe!"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Isn't this a bit idealistic?"

Zhang Chaoyang said angrily: "Is it floating?"

Zhou Buqi hesitated for a moment and said with a sigh: "I just don't feel convinced sometimes. You said that I am the richest man in the world. I have more wealth than Bill Gates and Steve Jobs combined. But when it comes to changing the world , the ability to influence the industry, I am not as good as Steve Jobs who has been dead for more than a year."

"Well……"

Zhang Chaoyang was stunned and speechless.

This is really a different angle.

Zhou Buqi said: "The condition for strategic cooperation proposed by Adobe is that Ziweixing International fully supports Flash and resists HTML5. Adobe will apply all its software on Ziwei Cloud."

Zhang Chaoyang said in a deep voice: "The terms of this cooperation are really good! Adobe's software is excellent enough and its technology is advanced enough. It is a necessity in the market. If Adobe can support Ziwei Cloud, then your cloud computing business will be greatly improved." It can be regarded as adding a vital link.”

Zhou Buqi said with emotion: "Yeah, just... wouldn't it be a little too utilitarian? The condition for strategic cooperation with Adobe is to fully support Flash and then boycott HTML5. Is this giving up for the sake of profit? ideal?"

"Well, this is really troublesome."

Only then did Zhang Chaoyang understand the difficulty.

If you are a domestic entrepreneur and encounter this kind of choice, you have nothing to hesitate. You must choose the one that is conducive to business development.

Boss Ma has even publicly criticized some of Google's idealistic development projects, feeling that they violate business logic. What Alibaba wants to do is to drive economic development through commercial development. Even Huawei once kept saying that it would not make mobile phones, but later it really couldn't hold on and started making mobile phones, compromising on its interests.

This is actually the choice that normal enterprises should have.

is the most realistic choice.

The first priority of an enterprise is to create wealth and profits, to provide enough jobs, and to pay enough taxes for society, rather than to achieve the reputation of a few individuals.

But if you want to become a world-class entrepreneur, you must have the ultimate aura of personal reputation.

Put the interests of the collective into the individual.

The greatest halo is, of course, changing the world.

Zhou Buqi said: "In today's world, under the discourse power system dominated by the United States, it seems that changing the world is the basic criterion for world-class entrepreneurs. But don't forget, behind this are the social resources that the United States endlessly draws from all over the world. , one general can achieve great success. Boss Ma has changed the domestic e-commerce industry and created a new sales model. He is great. But don’t forget that countless retailers and self-employed people have also gone bankrupt."

Zhang Chaoyang had a headache, "Don't go online with me! Okay! You can think about it yourself, I won't say anything anymore! I'm done!"

"good."

"By the way, I found two bottles of Maotai, Little Sunflower from the 1960s. When will you come back and let's try it?"

"Okay, keep it for me!"

…

Zhou Buqi actually already had his own ideas.

Whether Lu Qi, Mattrick, Zhang Chaoyang, or Guo Pengfei were just suggestions, it would be difficult to change his decision. However, communication is a good thing. Only through communication can we have a collision of ideas and understand each other's perspectives, without causing misunderstandings and differences due to different positions and perspectives.

Next, Zhou Buqi will communicate with Zheng Xiujing.

This communication is also very necessary.

It can show that Boss Zhou attaches great importance to the girl group f(x) and that he has no nationality discrimination. Previously, he had only had a few in-depth communications with Song Qianqian, the captain of the f(x) girl group.

This time, it's Zheng Xiujing's turn to resolve the misunderstanding. Boss Zhou is not discriminating against Koreans. As long as you are good enough, he will treat you equally regardless of whether you are Chinese or Korean.

Even the ancient emperors would confer several Korean concubines as a show of honor, let alone a modern person like Zhou Buqi?

Back in the bedroom, she saw Zheng Xiujing's pretty little body sitting by the bed. She must have just taken a shower, her hair was wet, she was wrapped in a pink girly bath towel, and her face was flushed.

Several other sisters sat in a circle, holding an iPad.

There were some unpleasant sounds coming from the iPad.

It seems that he is learning techniques through videos.

Sure enough, times have progressed.

Technology has changed the world.

The ancient learning tools were all hand-drawn pictures, and they were all instructed by the teaching nuns. Things are different now. With more learning resources and learning tools like the iPad, you can completely learn by yourself.

Seeing Boss Zhou coming, the girls quickly pressed the pause button, stood up quickly, and hid their iPads under the quilt.

Zhou Buqi said amusedly: "What are you looking at?"

Zheng Xiujing was so shy that her earlobes turned red. She bit her red lips gently and was speechless.

Seeing her embarrassment, Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "Okay, you all go back... Well, go to the theater. There are some new movies that haven't been released yet. Go check them out!"

"Mr. Zhou, what about you?"

Song Qianqian had interacted with him several times, and even last night she was honored to be favored by Boss Zhou, so she was bolder and joked with him with a smile.

Zhou Buqi said: "You go ahead. I'll teach Little Crystal first. Theory and practice must be combined. When the class is over, I'll go over and watch a movie with you."

He turned and glanced at the bed.

I found that a white handkerchief had been neatly spread on the bed sheet.

Full of ceremony.

Happy birthday, Ms. Jessica Cheng.
