Chapter 2545 Everyone makes the best use of their talents

Now that Boss Ma has been brought to PayPal's board of directors, it is natural to give full play to his value.

As the chairman of the board, Zhou Buqi gives an annual salary of US$500,000 to PayPal's board of directors and US$600,000 to independent directors. Boss Ma earns a salary of US$500,000 a year, so he cannot fail to contribute.

Got on the plane and flew to London.

Zhou Buqi called Boss Ma, "Old Ma, you have to come back!"

"Ah?" Boss Ma was a little confused about the direction of "going" and "coming", "Where are you going back to?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Silicon Valley, something happened! It's very important!"

Boss Ma asked: "What?"

Zhou Buqi said: "PayPal is looking for a new CEO. I have a list here with three alternatives. Go meet them and see who is suitable."

Boss Ma was almost furious after hearing this, "Arrange me to be the interviewer? Why don't you go? You are the chairman, I'm not even an executive director!"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "I'm busy. I'm on the plane. I have to go to London, then to Manchester, and then another trip... Anyway, I won't be in the United States during this time."

"Go find someone else!"

Boss Ma didn't listen to his orders. He thought this person was too much.

Zhou Buqi was used to dispatching Lao Zhang in the past, but he still needed a good reason to dispatch Lao Ma. He said seriously: "Really, you have to do this. I can't do it, so you are the most suitable."

"Stop coming!" Boss Ma didn't listen to his deceit, but he heard some strange voices on the other end of the phone and said angrily, "What are you eating? Why don't you complain? Why don't we wait until you finish eating?"

Zhou Buqi was not in the bedroom of the plane at this time, but in the office area at the back of the plane.

There is a laptop on the desk.

Satellite calls are made through a computer and the sound is played externally.

Under the desk, Wang Yanan and Chen Yan, who had accompanied him on a business trip to England, were kneeling at his feet side by side. The sound came from them.

Zhou Buqi pressed their heads and said solemnly: "It's not me, someone is eating next to you... Don't interrupt, be serious. What I'm telling you is very important, don't be distracted." !”

Boss Ma disagreed at all, "This is impossible! Ali has a lot of big things for me to deal with, and I don't have time!"

Zhou Buqi said: "PayPal is about to be spun off and listed. We can't even choose a CEO. Doesn't this delay things? I've already said that it's up to you to do this. Don't forget our plan. PayPal wants to realize Alipay’s ideals in overseas markets!”

"Um……"

After saying this, Boss Ma fell silent and his sense of resistance subsided.

Zhou Buqi said earnestly: "Lao Ma, the new CEO of PayPal must be in line with our big plan and be willing to actively move closer to Alipay."

Boss Ma's tone became much calmer, "It's a bit difficult. People in Silicon Valley are arrogant. It's normal for others to copy them. If they copy Alipay, they may not be able to accept it in the short term."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "I have also considered it, so I won't find people from Silicon Valley."

"Ah?" Boss Ma was slightly startled, "Where can I find it?"

Zhou Buqi said: "I think the financial industry in Europe and the United States is different from that in China. The domestic financial industry is very immature and has not even established a credit system. Good things like credit cards are like a scourge to ordinary people. So. To build Alipay in China, we must reuse Internet people and use the Internet to build up the country’s incomplete financial system.”

Boss Ma pondered: "Well, the financial markets in Europe and the United States are very complete and mature. It will be more difficult to change them through the Internet."

Zhou Buqi said: "For PayPal, the most important thing is to cater to the existing financial system, establish extensive cooperation with them, and gradually promote the 'Internet + Finance' plan through the benefits of cooperation."

"indeed."

Boss Ma also has a relatively deep understanding of this.

"Internet +" has developed visibly in China. The big reason is that many domestic industries have only been developing seriously for 20 or 30 years. Their foundation is weak and it is easy to change.

However, Western developed countries have hundreds of years of precipitation and accumulation, and the traditional structure will be stronger.

If you want to use the Internet to impact, it will be more difficult.

Therefore, in terms of welcoming the new atmosphere of the Internet era, the country will have great advantages and can make adjustments and changes faster. In developed countries, it is difficult for ships to turn around, so they need to take their time.

Zhou Buqi said: "So for PayPal, it is easy to build the Internet. What is difficult is to connect with the traditional financial industry. Therefore, it is best for PayPal's CEO to be selected from the traditional financial industry rather than from Silicon Valley. Find an Internet expert. For PayPal, the Internet should be more about execution than decision-making."

This was Lu Qi's point of view, and he successfully convinced Boss Zhou.

Boss Ma asked: "What about innovation?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Isn't it because of you? Innovation relies on plagiarizing Alipay!"

Boss Ma laughed and said, "You really have your own plan."

Zhou Buqi said: "This matter is really inseparable from you. Only you know best what Alipay will do in the future and what kind of financial order it will establish. If PayPal's CEO cannot accept many of your ideas, then there will be trouble in the future. ."

Boss Ma said "hmm".

Zhou Buqi knew that this was enough, and had basically convinced him. He said with a smile: "To choose a new CEO, this is an opportunity. With such appointment power, there will be favors in the future. After the new CEO takes office, , shouldn’t I have to work hard to build a good relationship with you and follow your advice as much as possible?”

Boss Ma was a little irritated, "I just came back from the United States and my butt is still warm!"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "He who can do it, thank you for your hard work! I will send you the list in a while. Then you and the PayPal person... the current chief financial officer, you can go together." Lu Qi is also here If you know each other, it’s okay to ask him to make an introduction to you.”

"Oh, I see."

Boss Ma had no choice but to accept his proposal.

"Okay, I'm going to take a rest now. I can't do it without some sleep. I won't be able to get over the jet lag."

Zhou Buqi closed the computer and reached out to pull Chen Yan up.

It was a bit narrow, so Wang Yanan crawled out from the side. After standing up, she saw Master Zhou closing the computer and pushing it aside. She got the wrong idea. She glanced at Zhou Buqi with her beautiful eyes, and then He lay down on the table and lifted his skirt up to his waist.

Seeing this, Chen Yan also went over to stand side by side with her, and also lay down on the small desk.

She was wearing pants, but she was taking them off, and she called out in a disgusted voice, "Master..."

Not far away, Gu Zanli and Zhang Zetian, two little smart little ones, stretched out their heads and looked here, eyes wide open.

Zhang Zetian quickly went to greet Sun Wanran on the other side who didn't notice the situation in the back row.

Sun Wanran glanced back, coughed, and said, "There's a stewardess over there!"

Zhou Buqi snorted, went up and slapped Wang Yanan and Chen Yan on the buttocks each, and scolded: "What kind of behavior are you doing? Go to the bedroom!"

…

Zhou Buqi went back to the bedroom and stayed there for two hours.

But in fact, I only took a nap for more than half an hour.

Then I woke up.

Wang Yanan quickly got up, hugged him gently from behind, and said with the utmost gentleness: "Master, don't work too hard, rest for a while, I'm jet-lagged."

Zhou Buqi didn't take it seriously and said, "You guys go to sleep, I'm used to it."

Wang Yanan took the pajamas and gently helped him put them on. Chen Yan next to him was not idle either. She knelt at his feet, took the pajamas and put them on.

Zhou Buqi got dressed and walked out of the bedroom, only to find that Zhang Zetian was the only one left.

Everyone else should have gone to rest.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Buqi walked over and saw her surfing the Internet, "What kind of website is this, Twitter?"

Zhang Zetian looked back and smiled, "Boss, you're awake. This is not Twitter, this is Facebook. I'm watching the news!"

"News?" Zhou Buqidao walked over, sat next to her, and gently hugged her waist, "Why didn't you go to Yahoo to read the news?"

Zhang Zetian said with a smile: "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle. I am studying the news section of Facebook."

Zhou Buqi said amusedly: "Really? What did you study?"

"Look at this picture first. What color do you think it is?"

Zhang Ze returned a few pages and found a picture of a dress as if he were offering a treasure.

A very classic Internet picture.

A skirt.

Is it blue-black or white-gold?

The same picture will appear in different colors for different people, which has triggered a heated discussion on the Internet.

"I saw this picture on Weibo."

Zhou Buqi is talking about past lives.

Zhang Zetian chuckled and said, "Well, Weibo also has it, but Weibo reprinted it, and the original version is this."

"Facebook?"

"Well... to be precise, Facebook's news section is provided by a news source called BuzzFeed. Through Facebook's social network, it has triggered a global discussion."

The spirit of exploration is very strong and deserves praise.

Zhou Buqi's eyes were fixed on the computer screen, and he was also curious about Facebook's news section.

Zhang Zetian introduced from the side: "Facebook does not produce content. Their news section is provided by other news source platforms. It is a bit like the interest circle of Friends.com, but it is not the same. Users see If you have a good news source, you can also subscribe, just like Toutiao.”

Zhou Buqi looked at it intently for a while.

I feel that the model of this news section is not like interest circles, not like Toutiao... but it is very similar to the later WeChat public account. Merchants push news and users choose to subscribe.

It’s easy to do domestically.

It’s Yahoo’s news business. It’s really not easy to compete with other technology giants in overseas markets. On Facebook, the social platform, users can socialize and browse news at the same time... This is equivalent to more than Yahoo! One dimension.

no!

If you want to do good news, it must be on Helo. Only social products can provide the most traffic. With traffic, news can get more readers. You have to create an overseas version of the public account.
