Chapter 2519 The secret of self-research

There is no doubt about Yiming’s talent and ability.

For Ziweixing, Zhou Buqi is the person who built the company from 0 to 1, and Yiming is the person who built the company from 1 to 100. They have great influence.

However, everyone has their own limitations.

Classmate Yi Ming is not exempted either.

In contrast, Zhou Buqi's structure and vision are very large. Not only does he travel around the world, his IT business covers the world, and he has a better understanding of the situation in various countries and overseas situations.

It also comes from the confidence brought by foresight.

Payment business?

From Zhang Yiming's point of view, this is a core and critical direction. It may not make much money, but it is a large project that is qualified to dominate the mobile Internet industry, and its strategic significance is very important.

This forced him to treat it with caution.

While actively promoting the development of WeChat payment, we must also limit other competitors that may exist in the industry.

Zhou Buqi is different.

It's not necessary at all!

There are only two payment tools in China, one is Alipay and the other is WeChat Pay, and the others that come and go are just fake.

Users are also afraid of trouble. It is impossible to register, download a lot of payment tools, and bind bank cards to each payment tool.

The technical implementation of payment tools is actually very simple.

However, if you want to achieve 100% accuracy and avoid payment failures, poor data, poor settlement and other factors, you need more complex technology to overcome it.

Rather than letting those Internet colleagues plot to poach people from Alipay or WeChat Pay, or commit internal theft, or purchase directly from the United States... it would be better to be more open-minded and make it public directly.

Ziweixing Engineering Academy is going to give a big show.

As long as you pay, you can get one-stop services. Whether it is a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise, whether it is an operator or an Internet peer, you can get the project code from the Academy of Engineering that is about 3-5 versions behind WeChat Pay.

Although it is a bit backward, it is enough for some small businesses.

There are 100 million people using WeChat Pay, and they can’t even get 1 million. The smaller the scale, the simpler the technical requirements.

This is not just a payment business.

But the entire domestic Internet industry.

Using the payment business as an introduction can lead to the next most important topic.

Zhou Buqi suggested that Zhang Yiming come to his office to explain the matter clearly.

Zhang Yiming simply invited him to have dinner in the staff canteen.

Then call He Yang, CTO Dr. Wang Jian, and Dean of the Academy of Engineering Cheng Binghao, and go to the cafeteria to eat together. The canteen at the Ziweixing headquarters is not simple. Most of the ingredients used are specially supplied and are produced on the farm in my hometown in the Northeast.

A total of 6 people made 10 dishes and 2 soups.

Quite hearty.

Zhou Buqi got straight to the point, "There is a top-to-bottom consensus in China that self-research is self-research. Both the government and the private sector have an extreme attitude towards self-research."

He Yang is not a technical person, so these words are very suitable for him. He agreed: "It is true. The government actively encourages self-research in all walks of life and provides many preferential policies. As a result, various All kinds of self-research, fraud and funding, and even national award-winning projects, have been exposed as being disguised as foreign projects."

Zhou Buqi said: "Officially, we can't do anything about it, but Ziweixing still has reasons to intervene appropriately when it comes to excessive private research. Excessive pursuit of self-research means constantly reinventing the wheel, which will cause huge waste."

Whether it is the market route or the technical route, this is a decision that many large companies have to face.

Most of the time it swings from side to side.

Each has his own reason.

Of course, Dr. Wang Jian is a technical person, so he expressed a different view, "Excessive self-research? No, right? I won't comment on other industries. As far as the Internet industry is concerned, what most companies do is repetitive and mechanical. Work, let alone self-research, even if you copy other people’s projects and make simple modifications and research, it is considered to have technological content. The common phenomenon now is not excessive self-research, but no self-research.”

Zhang Yiming nodded, "Any policy will have both pros and cons. The country has introduced so many encouraging policies to promote the development of self-research in the technology industry. It is true that there are many bad people taking advantage of the loopholes, but some policies are better than no policies. In the end, they can Driving positive changes in the market.”

He Yang shook his head and said: "Even a giant like China Unicom has to find an outsourcing team for a small payment product. Where is the trend of self-research? Why doesn't China Unicom do self-research? Even such a giant state-owned enterprise does not Taking the lead, the meaning of this policy is nothing more than to let private forces bear the huge risks of research and development, and induce private enterprises to shoulder everything. They like to do this kind of thing. All restrictive policies must be able to make a lot of money, and they are not allowed. If the private sector can do it, it can only be done by state-owned enterprises; all encouraging policies must contain huge risks and may encounter disasters, and they are all actively promoted by the private sector, and state-owned enterprises have never done it."

He came up with it by association.

Lenovo is an iconic enterprise that successfully restructured from a state-owned enterprise to a private enterprise.

He could clearly see the policy tilt behind this.

Now that Lenovo is a private enterprise, if you dare not do self-research, you will be criticized by everyone. But the era of state-owned enterprises is different. Even if you firmly follow the market-oriented route of "trade, industry and technology", you are also the backbone and pride of the nation.

Zhou Buqi put down his chopsticks and said firmly: "In terms of market route and technical route, Ziweixing will definitely take the technical route. This is certain and has been decided for a long time. The greater the risk, the greater the return. Internet The reason why the industry is so prosperous is because the risks in this field are too great and state-owned enterprises are afraid to play. This gives our private enterprises the opportunity to occupy the entire market. If we can make money and have no risks, then we private companies will not have any existence at all. Chance."

He Yang said: "Ziweixing is a high-tech company, and it must be at the forefront of technology development to explore treasures amidst endless risks."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "I like this metaphor."

Dr. Wang Jian said: "I don't think this issue is debatable. Self-research can only be the general trend."

Zhou Buqi disagreed, "But we must avoid the problem of reinventing the wheel, which will cause great waste to the industry. It is available abroad, but not domestically. This requires actively promoting self-research and not falling behind; however, domestically, If it already exists, the next thing to do is to continuously upgrade within the existing framework. Just like this disagreement about the payment business. WeChat Pay is already a very mature product and already exists in China. Then Why should domestic colleagues waste a lot of energy and thought on self-research? Isn’t this a waste of huge industry resources? With WeChat Pay, Alibaba’s Alipay, and Penguin’s Tenpay, I think it is enough The three major payment platforms are not enough to satisfy the domestic market? What’s the point of repeating what has already been done?”

This perspective is too high.

So much so that Dr. Wang Jian was in a daze for a moment.

He Yang strongly agreed, "Yes, it should be like this. Self-research is necessary, but we must be wary of excessive self-research. If there are giants in the industry, then the most effective option for rising stars is to climb on the shoulders of the giants. , stand on the shoulders of giants and look toward the future, instead of striving to become a taller giant than the previous giants.”

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Lao He, how can you do it today? Each metaphor is more brilliant than the other."

He Yang laughed.

Zhou Buqi said: "This is also my thinking. We have all been entrepreneurship all the way. We know how difficult it is to become an industry giant, and how many swords and swords and huge hidden risks there will be in fighting all the way. If every Internet peer follows this path, the entire market will be in chaos, and more resources will be wasted on basic industries, making it difficult to achieve real industrial upgrading. Ziweixing To have such a broad mind and responsibility, Ziweixing should contribute its own shoulders and allow colleagues to stand on our shoulders!"

Zhang Yiming took a deep breath and remained silent.

He knew he was speaking to himself.

Zhou Buqi said: "China Unicom wants us to help them transform their payment system and stand on the shoulders of WeChat Pay to develop their WoPay. This does pose some threats to WeChat Pay. However, we don't even have this confidence. None? Ziweixing’s advantage is not because others are weak, but because we are stronger!”

He Yang said: "Yes, if they refuse to cooperate with China Unicom, China Unicom will have to find other partners, or really go into self-research. However, with their level, the self-developed products will definitely be better than those in the market. The vast majority of payment products are poor and can only be a waste of scientific research funds.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Payment is not artificial intelligence or chip design. Payment is already a mature product in the industry. If China Unicom or other Internet peers are forced to develop it from scratch, the potential threat of WeChat payment is indeed small, but it will not affect the industry." It will form a constraint on the overall progress of WeChat Pay. If they are allowed to stand on the shoulders of WeChat Pay and let them upgrade and revise the version within the framework of WeChat Pay, with the joint efforts of peers across the country, they may be able to upgrade to a better version and update the version. Come up with better payment solutions.”

He Yang said with a smile: "Yes, in the end we still have to fall into the competition of market routes. Others stand on the shoulders of WeChat Pay and develop a better version than WeChat Pay. This is not a threat to us. , but it’s a good thing! WeChat Pay can quickly follow up, learn, revise, and then rely on market means to defeat them. Peers should be friends who grow together, not opponents.”

Zhou Buqi sighed, "The limitation of domestic technological innovation is largely due to the lack of such an open mind. Thousands of years of small-scale peasant thinking still controls us. Newton's innovation also stood on the shoulders of Galileo. On. Einstein also stood on Newton's shoulders. If Galileo was unwilling to make it public and was only willing to pass on his ideas to his direct disciples, and not to men but to women... nothing would have happened to Newton in the future. Newton might If you spend your whole life trying to discover the mystery of how heavy iron balls and light iron balls will fall to the ground at the same time, the entire scientific community will repeat it over and over again. It can only repeat on the basic framework, and it is difficult to follow the ladder. To develop.”
