Chapter 2989 A sharp name change

Zhou Buqi said disapprovingly: "It's not ideal to make money or not. Let more people see the video of you teaching physics class, which can make more people feel the beauty of the physical world. Teaching and educating people is not as good as making money." more meaningful?"

"Well..." Lao Zhang actually felt guilty, "You know, we are not teachers after all. Understanding physics and being able to give lectures are two different things. Those famous physics professors give lectures, they really explain things in simple terms. After all, we are not educators. expert."

Zhou Buqi laughed, "Humble, you are so humble!"

"How unmodest."

"However, more people listen to your physics class, not because you can teach physics class well, but because you can experience the style of a big entrepreneur up close."

"That's true."

Zhang Chaoyang was somewhat proud.

Zhou Buqi said: "This in itself is a huge attraction. What you teach is not physics, but style. How can such a class be taught in an ordinary classroom? I think the study tour suggestion is very good. There are only crash courses and Pseudo-experts only talk about their majors every day. The more top universities are, the more they pay attention to things other than their majors. The same goes for technology research and development in the IT industry. Professional technological breakthroughs often come from non-professional fields. Inspiration. Looking at the development trend of artificial intelligence, this is the new direction of neural networks that is combined with the inspiration from human biology.”

Zhang Chaoyang nodded, "I gave a few lectures at Tsinghua University, and now I have received invitations from many universities who want me to come and give lectures to their students."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Yes, for sure! That one is Wang Shi. He has been a visiting professor in a university for a while, and the places where he lectures are all famous schools. People don't listen to his lectures at all. Just to feel the charm of personality. The same goes for you. You are more famous than him, you have a serious Ph.D. in physics, your English is better than him, and you are richer than him. As long as you have time, you can definitely get all the top names in the world. Visit all famous schools.”

Zhang Chaoyang was a little excited, but he also knew that this was a big project.

How can it be so easy to travel and teach around the world?

If, like ordinary professors and teachers, every class is formulaic and has a textbook outline, it would be simple, but it would lose the charm of personality and the attraction of the class.

An influential class that can cause a stir must be like what Master Chen Yinke said: "I don't teach what the predecessors have taught; I don't teach what the recent people have taught; I don't teach what foreigners have taught. ; I don’t talk about what I have said in the past. I only talk about what no one has said before.”

Lao Zhang doesn't think he has such a level, but he always makes sure to teach different classes in different schools.

Otherwise, it will all be repetitive, and you will really become a teacher.

Zhou Buqi said: "Physics is a field far away from the public. It is a niche circle. However, physics is the most important subject in natural science. The progress of modern mankind is actually a history of the evolution of physics. . If you can take physics classes out of the circle, turn physics into a popular topic, and make more people interested in physics, this will be a huge contribution to all mankind."

Zhang Chaoyang said angrily: "Just lead me down the wrong path!"

"Why are you taking the wrong path? This is the right path, right?" Zhou Buqi snorted, "Besides, you have so much money, you will definitely not be able to spend it all in this life. What are you keeping the money for? Why don't you do something? What is more meaningful than education? How valuable is it to spend money on study tours? "

Zhang Chaoyang said angrily: "You have more money than me, and you can't spend it all!"

"Can that be the same?" Zhou Buqi said plausibly, "I have a wife and children to support, and... well, let's not talk about that. The key is you. You are not married and have no children. What will happen to the money when you die? Make a will , all inherited by my son?”

Zhang Chaoyang laughed in anger at this kid's shamelessness, "How many children do you have? You are the richest man in the world, don't you have enough?"

Zhou Buqixin said that the number was quite large.

There are two more pregnant and expecting babies now!

Zhang Chaoyang said: "Forget about studying abroad, why did I hear that you were going to hold a concert?"

Zhou Buqi said "ha", "Yes."

"It's really a toss-up. There's nothing that you don't get involved in." Zhang Chaoyang also wanted to sarcastically say something to him, "You still know music?"

Zhou Buqi and Lao Zhang no longer need to hide and choke, "It's not me who understands, it's the AI ​​that understands."

Zhang Chaoyang also heard some of it, "Is it really AI music?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Yes, but it's not pop music, it's symphony. How powerful is the artificial intelligence technology nowadays? It has conquered Go. What's weird about compiling some AI music?"

Zhang Chaoyang frowned, "Can this be recognized by the music industry? Is AI music still called art?"

Zhou Buqi said: "I don't care whether he accepts it or not, it's art or not!"

"ah?"

"It was just hype."

"Hype?"

"The artificial intelligence technology of Ziweixing International is highly hyped! It is marked in the prospectus that after raising money, it will focus on the development of the artificial intelligence industry. If it does not produce some decent and convincing results, how can capital Do you recognize my heavy investment in the AI ​​industry?”

Zhou Buqi doesn't need to hide anything, you can tell him all these little thoughts.

The two were chatting in the chairman's office, waiting for the board meeting.

When Zhang Chaoyang heard this, he understood, "Damn! Isn't this just like last year? Last year, on the eve of the launch of Ziweixing, you engaged in a man-machine war with Rokid-go? It was all for event marketing to increase popularity and to pick up projects. IPO warm-up? "

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "How successful was Ziweixing's IPO last year? This is all successful experience. In March this year, there will be a human-machine battle of Go in the magic city of China. But the effect of the second time is It’s a lot different. Find the best symphony orchestra and have a global AI concert tour to fill the scene.”

"That's very controversial."

"Controversy is what creates popularity."

"Are the procedures, procedures, etc. okay?"

Zhang Chaoyang was already used to this kid's vicious methods.

Zhou Buqi nodded, "It shouldn't be a big problem, I haven't paid much attention to it. Ziweixing International is a company that was spun off and registered in the United States. Strictly speaking, it is an American company. They are even suggesting that the company should be It’s time to change the name. Ziweixing has gone public so smoothly, and Ziweixing International will have fewer restrictions.”

"Change your name?"

Zhang Chaoyang was very curious.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "It was the advice given by the consulting company, saying that the correlation between the two companies 'Ziweixing' and 'Ziweixing International' is too strong, and it is easy for capital misunderstandings to occur. If something happens to Ziweixing Certain things will cause Ziweixing International's stock price to plummet; Ziweixing International's business will decline, and Ziweixing will also suffer. There may be investors who got the name wrong and originally wanted to buy Ziweixing. The stock was bought into Ziweixing International.”

Zhang Chaoyang said: "That's right, differences in stock codes must be avoided."

Especially the ones like 'Ziweixing' and 'Ziweixing International', if you buy the wrong ones, you may get into big trouble.

The United States has very strict investor protection laws.

Once an investor wants to buy Ziweixing's shares, but instead buys Ziweixing International, and Ziweixing International's stock price plummets, causing losses to investors... At this time, investors may sue the two companies. .

The reason was that the two companies deliberately made their names so similar, which caused him to suffer huge losses on his investment and demanded compensation.

Professional stock traders sometimes get company names confused.

If you really can't figure out who is who, then simply don't buy it.

This is such a disadvantage.

For example, Wanda Commercial and Wanda Commercial Management, JD.com and JD Logistics, Lenovo and Legend Holdings, Haier and Haier Smart Selection... names that are too similar can easily cause confusion among the companies, leading to joint damage to the stock rights and interests of both companies.

Zhou Buqi said: "But don't worry now. If you really want to change it, you can talk about it later!"

As technology companies become bigger and more giant, many companies have changed their names.

For example, Google changed it to Alpha.

Another example is Facebook, which was changed to Meta.

Large companies must be very cautious when changing their names in traditional industries, because changing the name will lose the brand value of the old name. However, the Internet giants are too powerful and are not afraid of changing their names. It is not unusual for Ziweixing International to change its name.

Zhang Chaoyang asked: "What should it be changed to?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Yahoo."

"Ah?" Zhang Chaoyang was stunned, "Yahoo? Which consulting company came up with this bad idea?"

Zhou Buqi said: "McKinsey."

Zhang Chaoyang snorted: "The level is too bad! Change it to Yahoo... Then Yahoo is a backdoor egg? This is not Ziweixing International's annexation of Yahoo, but Yahoo's annexation of Ziweixing International."

"Well..." Zhou Buqi looked at him deeply, "This is the purpose of the consulting company."

"Um?"

Zhang Chaoyang was slightly startled.

Zhou Buqi said: "Don't you feel the trend of the current environment? Even if you are not sensitive, look at Li Chaoren, he is already selling off his properties to make cuts. Look at Lao Pan in SOHO, he is also preparing There is no way out. McKinsey is the best consulting firm in the world. If you say their standards are poor, you don’t understand what they mean!”

Zhang Chaoyang suddenly realized.

Ziweixing International's strength is getting stronger and stronger. It has become the world's number one in social networking, cloud computing, AI and other fields, and has become an Internet giant comparable to Google!

Will this become a thorn in the side of some American right-wingers?

Ziweixing International acquired Yahoo, which is a marriage relationship.

This is a clever move.

This potential risk can be greatly mitigated.

However, the risk still exists.

Even if there is a marriage, there is still a primary and secondary relationship. Ziweixing International is the head of the household and Yahoo is a vassal.

If the name is changed, it will be changed to "Yahoo".

This is different.

‘Ziweixing International’ will disappear completely.

This has turned into a brand new company, a borrowed chicken to lay eggs for Yahoo, the once legendary giant of the American Internet, and a resurrection from the dead!

This way, we can get rid of all irrelevant policy and geopolitical interference risks once and for all.

The company is Yahoo.

Yahoo is a monument to the American Internet!

In this way, this company can truly become a company of the same nature as Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and Oracle, a real global company rooted in Silicon Valley.

The non-commercial crises that Zhou Buqi had been worried about were all solved.

McKinsey Consulting is well-known, and their proposal is indeed to the point.

Zhang Chaoyang figured this out and immediately changed his mind, saying thoughtfully: "Well, good idea, good idea! 'Ziweixing International' has no brand meaning, but 'Yahoo' is different. From the perspective of company naming, the name 'Yahoo' is more suitable than 'Ziweixing International'. This kind of association in the name is really harmful and has no benefit. 'Yahoo' is better."

Zhou Buqi said: "Don't worry, wait until Yahoo is fully established and Yahoo's products are truly established in the market. It is better to go public under the name of 'Ziweixing International' first and then see the situation in two or three years."
