Chapter 2400 Shadow of Power

In the evening, Shi Jinglin talked to Zhou Buqi.

She plans to make a formal comeback.

Zhou Buqi felt a little distressed, "Why don't you wait any longer?"

Shi Jinglin said angrily: "I am not your canary!"

"Who said you were a canary?" Zhou Buqi held her in his arms, "It's hard work for you. Look at how good Baoshan is. She takes it easy every day. You don't have to be too tired. Isn’t it enough for me to make enough money to support my family?”

Shi Jinglin pursed her lips and showed a bit of a smile, "We have a lot of women in our family, I will help you raise them together." After a pause, she added: "From the bed to under the bed, it can be anything."

"Ahem..."

There is nothing he can do to her without Zhou Qi.

It can also be seen from the attitude.

After Baoshan gave birth to her child, she has always been at ease, not anxious at all, not worried at all, quiet and peaceful, just like a beautiful young woman who has spent her time peacefully.

Shi Jinglin was different. After giving birth to a child, she didn't do confinement at all. The nanny and confinement nanny hired with a lot of money were just like decorations. When she has time, she goes to the gym to exercise and work as hard as she can.

It has been 8 months since Baoshan gave birth to a baby, and her body has not yet fully recovered and she looks very mellow.

Shi Jinglin was different. Her figure had completely returned to its pre-pregnancy state, with almost no difference between before and after.

Zhou Buqi was actually very happy about this.

Because her spirit is very full.

The symptoms of pregnancy depression, prenatal depression, and postpartum depression that everyone was worried about did not appear, which was a relief.

Shi Jinglin snorted: "Anyway, I'm here to inform you. It doesn't matter whether you agree or disagree!"

Zhou Buqi said helplessly: "I didn't say I disagreed!"

Shi Jinglin rolled her eyes at him, remembered something, blinked and said, "By the way, Ning Yaxian found another sister?"

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, a distant cousin, a wet nurse for the child."

"Is it yours?"

Shi Jinglin curled her lips and saw through it at a glance.

Zhou Buqi said seriously: "It's nothing."

"You can really pretend." Shi Jinglin said with a look of contempt on her face, "What's there to pretend? It's just playing with a few women, what's the big deal. My man is replenishing himself. If anyone objects, let her come to me. ! This is the rule of my Zhou family, anyone who doesn’t accept it will get out!"

Zhou Buqi was angry and funny, "Stop making your own decisions!"

It’s already winter in November, but Silicon Valley is located in the Greater Bay Area, with the ocean as a backdrop, and the climate is particularly suitable. Wearing a simple coat during the day is just right.

YY is about to go public, and has already reached the stages of IPO and pricing. I would like to invite Boss Zhou to go to the market in New York.

Zhou Buqi didn't agree.

This is a small company and really not worthy of attention.

There's still a lot to deal with here in Silicon Valley.

Talking to Microsoft, Ballmer is very anxious.

One big thing happened in particular.

Ten days after the release of Windows 8, Ballmer couldn't bear it anymore and took cruel measures!

He fired Steven Sinofsky, Microsoft's senior vice president, president of the Windows division, and leader of the Window8 project, which shows that he is red-eyed.

This is a big deal.

You know, Steven Sinofsky has worked at Microsoft for more than 20 years and has made outstanding contributions. He is present in several of Microsoft's core products: Windows system, office software, and IE browser. He led the development of Microsoft's C++ library has also become an essential tool for developers around the world.

This is a great god in the field of software development.

Shen Xiangyang directly knocked on the door of Zhou Buqi's office and suggested: "If possible, we should poach him to our company!"

"Isn't it difficult?" Zhou Buqi felt it was unrealistic. "What position should I give him? Let him take care of Zi Weiyun? He will definitely not want to help Kurian."

Shen Xiangyang sighed, "Yes, it's difficult."

This master develops software, and they are all top-notch software in the world.

Ziweixing International's current core business is really poor in this aspect. Mobile apps are also software, but they are too childish, just like playing house.

Even Ziweiyun's cloud operating system is not on the same level of complexity as Windows systems.

Shen Xiangyang said: "It's best to get in touch. We have worked together in the capital for two years and got along pretty well. His level is very high. This is not only my personal evaluation, but also the understanding of him by most people in Microsoft." , believes that he is one of the few outstanding talents among Microsoft executives who has both 'visionary' and 'engineering' abilities."

Foresight is the judgment of the future, which is the strategic level.

Engineering refers to the ability to operate projects and is the execution level of business.

Such an evaluation is not low.

Zhou Buqi asked: "Capital?"

Shen Xiangyang smiled and said: "Yes, he is very interested in Chinese culture, and he applied to work in China for a while. In addition, during that time, Bill Gates was particularly concerned about the Chinese market, so he agreed to work in Microsoft China. ask."

"Where's Dr. Wang Jian?"

"He also knows me, and our relationship is okay."

"That's it..."

Zhou Buqi pondered for a moment.

With this relationship, there seems to be the potential to recruit Sinofsky, if he signs some kind of non-compete agreement.

Shen Xiangyang suggested: "How about I contact him and you two can meet?"

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Okay."

Shen Xiangyang smiled and said: "Aren't you talking about cooperation with Ballmer? I heard that Ballmer is very anxious now. Maybe he can use this relationship to give us permission to hire Sinofsky."

"Um."

Zhou Buqi is a little worried.

In his opinion, the obstacles on Microsoft's side should not be too great.

Ballmer is in a panic now.

There are calls for his resignation in the market, which has formed a huge whirlpool of public opinion. In this case, he fired meritorious executives like Sinofsky and asked him to bear the responsibility for the failure of the Surface and Windows 8 operating systems. Maybe he could clear himself.

This shows how difficult the current situation is for Ballmer.

This further illustrates the importance of UC Browser to him.

With this momentum, Zhou Buqi can easily rely on the UC Browser transaction to make Ballmer make an appropriate retreat.

The difficulty is that there are really no suitable positions at Ziweixing International.

We can meet first and talk later.

Shen Xiangyang said: "The Windows 8 system does have many problems, but this is a brand-new operating system. There are still many areas for improvement, and more time is needed to modify and improve. How much does it cost to dismiss him so hastily now? There's something...a bit like office politics."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Everywhere is inseparable from the shadow of power."

Shen Xiangyang agreed very much, "I think there are two main reasons why he was fired. The first is that he has outstanding achievements, great influence, and strong ability. He often challenges Ballmer and is a challenger to power. Fire him , Ballmer’s current position can be consolidated.”

Zhou Buqi snorted coldly: "This is no different from imperial power. With the power given by shareholders, without seeking benefits for shareholders, they play tricks to suppress dissidents to consolidate their own power. This Ballmer, I Seeing how the company is not doing well, one of them is more powerful than the other two."

Shen Xiangyang added: "It's a bit similar. Ziweixing should really take a warning. Microsoft has countless departments and factions, and all departments want to bind their products to the new Windows 8 system for free. , but Sinofsky almost refused. This offended the entire senior management."

Zhou Buqi sighed, "This is a disease of large companies. While integrating superior resources, it will also be detrimental to rapid product innovation."

Shen Xiangyang said cautiously: "Ziweiyun is also such a core platform. Many people have opinions about Kurian, which is somewhat related to his special position."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "It's okay, I'm aware of it."
