Chapter 2493 WeChat Crisis

the next morning.

"Wake up, wake up."

Zhou Buqi was still sleeping when he felt someone pushing him. When he opened his eyes, he saw Bao Shan with skin as white as snow in his arms next to him, and Senior Sister Zhen Yu with hazy eyes open next to her.

When he turned around, he saw Sun Wanran's big eyes.

Sun Wanran didn't want to disturb Baoshan's rest, so he leaned over and whispered: "Meng Houkun has something to see you, it's quite urgent."

"Um?"

"It's about WeChat."

"Depend on!"

Zhou Buqi suddenly lost all sleep. He didn't care about the fragrance and beauty of Wenrou Township. He climbed out of bed, took a bath towel and wrapped it around his waist, and walked out of the bedroom.

"what happened?"

Zhou Buqi knew this was a big deal. Take it seriously.

Sun Wanran said seriously: "It seems to be quite urgent. Many people have sent emails."

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "It's such an urgent matter, why send an email?"

Sun Wanran rolled her eyes at him, "Isn't it jet lag? I'm afraid it will affect your rest."

Zhou Buqi walked towards the bathroom with bare feet and said as he walked: "Call Meng Houkun!"

The call was answered quickly.

Meng Houkun said in a helpless tone: "How about you go back to China? The current situation is quite serious. I asked my dad to inquire about it. All forces have gathered together."

Zhou Buqi was washing his face and brushing his teeth. He was a little unconvinced, "Can such a mature product like WeChat really work?"

Meng Houkun said: "Why not? People have been thinking about it for a long time. Ever since WeChat OTT killed the SMS service, some people have been dissatisfied. Last year, WeChat launched the voice message function, which caused a wave of turmoil."

Zhou Buqi asked: "Is there any feedback from the company?"

Meng Houkun said: "Not yet, everything is normal. But I have first-hand inside information. It is the night before the storm, and there are dangers everywhere. You really need to come back, and then meet a few people to talk about this matter. This matter If the trouble gets bigger, you will have to step forward."

“Can WeChat really be banned?”

"Even if it is not completely blocked, it may stifle further innovation of WeChat, stop the functions of video calls, voice calls and voice messages, and return to the OTT SMS service era of two years ago."

"Okay, I'll go back right now!"

Zhou Buqi didn't dare to delay a little.

At this time, it is not easy to use foresight.

WeChat in the previous life was alive and well. It survived under the operation of Penguin Company. God knows how much effort Brother Ma has put into this matter.

Internet companies are prohibited from developing telephone services, which was clearly stipulated in relevant documents many years ago.

The new functions of video calls and voice calls launched by WeChat are really marginal phone services, and they are the OTT of the Internet to bypass operators.

It is not a reason to bring benefits to the people, and what the people say does not count.

If this is careless...

Once WeChat is really banned, it will be a big joke, and Zhou Buqi himself will be ashamed. If they had known this, they might as well have let Penguin develop WeChat safely. At least they could have made this product and this industry survive.

Zhou Buqi didn't dare to slack off, "Hurry up and arrange a flight and return to Beijing immediately!"

At this time, Senior Sister Zhen Yu also got up and put on her white pajamas, revealing her rosy shoulders and sexy collarbones. She was as beautiful as a girl without makeup and was gently arranging her hair.

"What's up?"

"Well, I have to go back to my country."

"Go back home?"

Senior Sister Zhen Yu was slightly startled.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "It's nothing big, I have some work to deal with."

Zhen Yu asked: "Then when will you come back?"

Zhou Buqi couldn't guarantee this, so he hesitated, "Not necessarily, it depends on the situation."

Zhen Yu said softly: "You have to come back as soon as possible."

"What's wrong?"

"There is good news from eBay. PayPal's spin-off and listing plan has been approved. Now Nasdaq has begun operations. The first thing is to reorganize PayPal's board of directors and design equity. Some renovation plans are on the market. They are all very important and you have to participate."

"Good news! I'll be back!"

Zhou Buqi attaches great importance to PayPal.

Although he does not hold a large shareholding, he is the person who recommended PayPal's listing and should have a large part of the decision-making power of this listed company.

But Carl Icahn was not interested in participating in any specific way, so the power fell into Zhou Buqi's hands.

This will be of great significance to Ziweixing International’s future Internet financial industry in overseas markets. Ziweixing International now has Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Finance, Helo payment, Bitcoin trading platform Bitpay, and big data services in cooperation with many Wall Street institutions...

And with PayPal cooperating and participating, it's complete.

This system is basically established.

PayPal's board of directors needs to be organized.

But you can't just get involved by just anyone. You have to find some respected business people who support you to stop the battle. In particular, it must be cut off from eBay's board of directors.

Zhen Yu walked into the bathroom and wanted to take a shower. She saw Sun Wanran standing next to her. She was a little embarrassed to take off her clothes, so she could only lean against the door and whispered: "By the way, there is one more thing."

"What's up?"

Zhou Buqi took the towel and wiped his face, planning to leave immediately and head to the airport.

Zhen Yu said: "Zuckerberg contacted me."

"You?" Zhou Buqi was a little surprised, "Why are we looking for you?"

Zhen Yu pursed her lips and said, "The ban on Facebook's stocks is about to be lifted. He is very worried."

Zhou Buqi asked strangely: "Haven't all the stocks in our hands been sold? The ones that were lifted were the company's stocks. Why did we find you?"

Zhen Yu said: "They contacted the company, but the company refused and said it was your wish. He had no choice but to find me. He wanted me to advise you not to act out of anger and let both sides suffer. damage."

When Ziweixing International was short of money last year, Zhou Buqi approached Zuckerberg and wanted to sell Facebook's shares and asked him to contact an institution to take over the deal, or Facebook could directly repurchase it.

As a result, Zuckerberg took advantage of the situation.

Greatly lowered the price.

Zhou Buqi did not agree, so he did not advance the deal, and then sold Yahoo Korea to Samsung, which relieved the company's financial crisis.

Because he and Zuckerberg failed to reach an agreement, Zhou Buqi gave up and refused to negotiate with Facebook anymore, waiting for the stock market to be lifted to see him!

Now, the lifting of the ban is only two months away.

Zuckerberg was worried.

You can't just watch Ziweixing International pour billions of dollars of stock into the market. Once a chain reaction is caused, Facebook's stock price will fall by 20% or 30% in a short period of time. possible.

Zhou Buqi was very happy and said with a smile: "This little Zha, now that he has given in, he really wants to play the trick with me that taught the apprentice to starve to death. Don't worry, drag him first!"
