Chapter 2393 Repeated Jumps

After the meeting, Kurian looked gloomy and followed Zhou Buqi to his office.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Don't worry, the contact with Adobe will not have any good results."

Kurian sat sullenly on the sofa, silent for a while, and then said slowly: "No matter what, don't cooperate with Adobe. What that company is best at is backstabbing. Today we are cooperating with Adobe. , we may face what happened to Apple tomorrow."

"ah?"

Zhou Buqi is a bit funny.

This is quite arbitrary to say.

Kurian said: "Adobi wants to cooperate with Ziwei Nebula. I don't think this is a good choice. We must be vigilant."

"Huh?" Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "Is it not good for Zi Weiyun?"

Kurian said: "There are short-term benefits, but in the long term, there is no basis for cooperation between the two parties. Adobe has not had a good life in the past few years. The competition between Flash and HTML5 is on the one hand, and the overly traditional sales model is also Constraints. They intend to make sweeping changes."

Zhou Buqi was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Kurian said: "In the past, Adobe's software was based on a sales system, with a one-time payment and lifetime use. Now they are changing the model. For example, the Flash platform is a commission system. More software products will adopt a subscription system. "

“What happened to the subscription system?”

"Adobi is not a company like Netflix or Spotify. Adobe has many software, which can be called a complete software platform based on the creative industry. Their software is generally relatively large and has certain The installation threshold. Coupled with the changes in subscription system, cloud platform is their only way out."

"That makes sense."

Zhou Buqi nodded, quite agreeing with his statement.

Kurian waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "It doesn't make sense, it must be like this! I don't know about others, but I know Shantanu Narayan too well. He is such a person!"

At this moment, Zhou Buqi understood why Kurian's opposition was so loud.

It feels like there is some personal grudge involved!

Adobe's current CEO and president is an Indian named Shantanu Narayan, who has been named one of the top 10 CEOs in Silicon Valley many times.

In June this year, Silicon Valley's most famous magazine "Red Herring" listed the top ten CEOs in the technology industry.

Cook ranks first, Zhou Buqi ranks second, Zuckerberg ranks fifth, and Shantanu Narayan ranks ninth.

Today, Indians have become the most important minority group in the executive field of Silicon Valley.

The majority are white people, followed by Indians.

Among the Indian community, the most influential core figure is of course Shantanu Narayan.

Kurian can probably be ranked 3-5.

This is obviously inconsistent with his ambition.

Kurian said: "Adobi does not have a cloud business now. If they want to do it, it will not happen overnight. There are only two ways in front of them. One is to directly acquire and then integrate it with their own products. The other way, Just to plagiarize.”

"I'll go!" Zhou Buqi was stunned, half-believing what he said, "No way?"

Kurian snorted: "Why not? Adobe's photo retouching software, video editing software, many designs and intellectual property rights were stolen from Lucasfilm, and there is still a lawsuit."

"Is there still this matter?"

Zhou Buqi opened his eyes wide.

This is not possible!

Lucasfilm is a subsidiary of MSI Universal, which is also the property of Boss Zhou. I didn't expect to have such a connection with Adobe.

However, when it comes to software such as photo retouching, video editing, and video rendering, the originator of the industry is really Lucasfilm, derived from the classic masterpiece "Star Wars".

Several of Adobe's core products are actually "castrated" and "civilian versions" of Lucasfilm-related products, lowering the threshold for use and allowing more ordinary people to use them.

However, this Kurian is good at everything, except he has a big mouth.

You do a good job, but you still have to have reservations about what he says, and you can't believe everything.

Kurian said solemnly: "Adobi wants to cooperate with Ziweiyun. They must want to take the opportunity of cooperating with Ziweiyun to explore the development model of cloud computing platform. After they learn it, they will I will go back and build my own cloud computing platform."

Zhou Buqi glanced at him, "Is there any evidence?"

Kurian said: "No evidence is needed, I'm sure!"

Zhou Buqi wanted to laugh, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "For now, cloud computing is not a very advanced technology. With Adobe's level, they will be able to do it sooner or later."

Kurian said: "Even if it can be done, it will be too slow and will delay efficiency too much. Adobe is now in the transformation stage. If they want to do this as quickly as possible, they must either start mergers and acquisitions." , or come to Ziweiyun to be a thief."

Zhou Buqi asked: "You don't want them to be thieves?"

"ah?"

Kurian was slightly startled, this is not nonsense!

Who would welcome a thief in their home?

However, Zhou Buqi was used to this pattern.

Cooperation, in essence, involves exchanging technology for market and market for technology. This has been the national policy of China’s reform and opening up for decades and has achieved world-renowned achievements.

Adobe licenses its software to the Ziweiyun platform, which can bring market to Ziweiyun. Correspondingly, it is natural for Adobe to make breakthroughs in the field of cloud technology.

This is not about someone stealing from someone, it is a reasonable exchange.

It's really difficult to restrict other people's technological development. The best way is to develop faster while others are developing. This is the philosophy and ambition that technology companies should have.

Zhou Buqi could tell that there were some personal grudges between Kurian and Adobe's CEO Shantanu Narayan, so much so that Kurian didn't want to cooperate with him.

Not to mention, this personality is really similar to Steve Jobs.

This is really not a good thing.

Apple has banned Flash, which is actually illegal and violates the fairness rules of the Internet. Adobe has also sued Apple, believing that Apple is suspected of being a monopoly.

Zhou Buqi had no grievances with Odobi. He didn't want to offend anyone for no reason. He thought about it and said, "We don't like thieves... But, can we do this? Zi Weiyun can take the initiative and help Odobi." Build their cloud platform?"

"What?"

Kurian's expression changed drastically and he almost vomited blood.

I feel like the big boss is jumping back and forth over and over again!

What is this going to do?

During the meeting just now, the meaning revealed was so clear, it was to start a war with Adobe! Why go back and help them build a cloud computing platform?

Damn it!

The power of God is unpredictable!
