Chapter 478 Concentration and Diversification

Appreciation is appreciation, whether you agree or not is not necessarily the case.

Zhou Shaoning always felt that Zhou Buqi's series of games were gimmicky, and the chassis was not stable enough, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

Zhou Buqi is also willing to communicate with him more.

This time, it is just a trivial matter to talk about the cooperation between Ziweixing's content business and Google's search business.

His philosophy is people-oriented.

More concerned about people.

If Zhou Shaoning resigned from Google China, where would he go?

Being fooled by Ali's boss Ma, he ran to Hangzhou to open a courier company? It's a bit overkill.

He has a technical background, graduated from Fudan Computer Department, and then went to the United States to study as a graduate student at Princeton University. After graduating, he worked in Bell Labs as the product director in the wireless communication direction of Bell Labs. Together with the team, he developed a new type of wireless telephone system - PHS.

He is a real master in the field of communication.

Coincidentally!

If everything goes well, Zhou Buqi still wants to help his father realize his dream of making a mobile phone!

Zhou Shaoning asked worriedly: "Xiao Zhou, if we are at least business partners, there are some things I shouldn't say. But as a friend, I still have doubts. Is Ziweixing's business... too fragmented?"

"Not scattered."

"E-commerce, social networking, information security, and now you have to do content... By the way, you still have a research room, and you are working on distributed databases." Zhou Shaoning shook his head, some disagree, he can't chew too much.

Zhou Buqi has been questioned too many times, and said with a smile: "Do you think you should be more focused?"

"right."

Zhou Shaoning nodded approvingly.

Zhou Buqi pondered for a while, and said very slowly: "In the early stage of technological change, everything is very risky, so everyone is in a small team mode, focusing on one thing and doing it thoroughly. Of course it is true. But with the development of the times, in the second half of the year, the technological dividend will become smaller, and integration will become a new way to release the dividend. At that time, multi-business companies will be more profitable than single-business companies. There is an advantage."

This is definitely a heart-to-heart talk from experience.

With the advent of the mobile Internet, Ali and Penguin seem to have wings and spread their wings to soar, but why can't Baidu? A very important reason is that Baidu is too focused.

In the past few years, Baidu focused on fighting Google, and all eyes fell on the direction of search.

Baidu achieved success and drove Google out of China, but before it had time to celebrate, it found that it had fallen behind in the mobile Internet era. The other two were frantically integrating resources, but Baidu only searched for one track, and suddenly it was in chaos, buying 91 Mobile Assistant at a sky-high price, doing takeout... making a mess.

There is an even more important point.

In the initial stage of change, the risk is very high, why?

Because no one can be sure that the track direction you choose is correct. The capital is not confident, and the entrepreneurial team is also full of doubts. In order to reduce the loss of failure, of course, it is necessary to have a small team and focus all energy on one field in order to survive.

But Zhou Buqi doesn't need it.

He has no choice at risk.

He has the foresight, all strategic decisions are correct, even if there are some original businesses, they are in line with business logic and market positioning.

He is qualified to play multiple.

Zhou Shaoning narrowed his eyes and thought about his words for a long time.

Can't seem to get it.

"Xiao Zhou, you know about the Yamaha company in Japan, right?"

"Huh? I don't know."

Zhou Buqi shook his head.

Then, she looked at Ning Yaxian who had been quietly sitting next to her, "You know that?"

Ning Yaxian smiled and nodded.

Zhou Buqi smiled and introduced: "My secretary graduated from Fudan University. After graduation, I went to work in a large Japanese company. I only came back a few years ago."

"It turned out to be an alumni!"

Zhou Shaoning's eyes lit up, but he didn't pay much attention to it. What insight can a vase female secretary have?

But Zhou Buqi believed her very much, "Yaxian, tell me, what happened to Yamaha Company?"

Ning Yaxian said softly: "Yamaha Company was originally a company specializing in the production of musical instruments. It has a relatively large competitive advantage in the production and sales of pianos, guitars, speakers, violins and electronic organs. In the initial stage of business expansion, it has always controlled In the field of musical instrument production and sales, brand expansion does not deviate from the original expertise. In the 1980s, the Japanese economy took off immediately, and large companies were internationalized one after another, and they even shouted the slogan of buying the United States. And those big companies, It’s all about diversification.”

Zhou Shaoning was a little surprised.

Zhou Buqi nodded, motioning for her to continue.

Ning Yaxian went on to say: "The Yamaha Company couldn't hold back anymore, and began to diversify its operations, borrowing heavily, and entered many unfamiliar fields, such as tennis rackets, TV sets, video recorders, audio equipment, motorcycles, ski cars and so on. Yachting, etc. However, due to the excessive diversification away from the industry, the lack of understanding of the company's foundation and advantages, coupled with excessive expansion, its management, technology, and experience cannot keep up. It's almost in crisis."

Zhou Shaoning couldn't help but ask, "Miss Ning, have you ever studied management?"

There are too many big companies in Japan, many of which are famous in the world. In contrast, Yamaha Company is a bit unknown, and people who have not studied management will generally not pay attention.

Ning Yaxian smiled, "I heard about this case in the corporate training class. I have a pretty good memory and I haven't forgotten it."

Zhou Shaoning's eyes were a little weird.

Is she really a secretary?

This week, what kind of personality charm can win over such a woman and be willing to be a little secretary?

Zhou Buqi almost laughed out loud.

I feel that Ning Yaxian looks good on herself.

He gave her an encouraging look, and asked, "What happened to Yamaha later?"

Ning Yaxian said: "In the 1990s, Yamaha Corporation fell into a debt crisis, and it began to pull back from the brink, cut off all non-core businesses, and only focused on musical instrument manufacturing. Then it recovered and regained the lost market."

Zhou Shaoning nodded, "So, this is the importance of concentration!"

Ning Yaxian glanced at Zhou Buqi, and after getting his permission, she said neither humble nor overbearing: "Actually, I think Ziwei Star is not diverse, but focused in a broad sense."

"Oh? How to say?"

Zhou Shaoning was full of curiosity about this junior sister.

Ning Yaxian said: "Xiaonei, Youyou.com, Weidian Security Guard, Weizhiwang...these are actually Internet products, and they all have this kind of close connection inside. The core is a unified Internet thinking, the most essential thing It remains the same. Chiba Company is different, they use the company's original manpower and material resources to enter new industries, just like letting the captain be the captain, it is a crossover with thousands of differences."

Zhou Shaoning was stunned, a little speechless.

To be pissed off by a little secretary?

Not to mention him, Zhou Buqi was also very surprised, and couldn't help but look her up and down, "Then what do you think of the new model of group buying on Xiaonei.com? From cross-border Internet to manufacturing of electronic products."

Ning Yaxian shook her head lightly, "I don't quite understand."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "That's right, your entry into the job is too short. After waiting for a long time, you can learn more about the company's business. Go back and tell the HR department that you will become a regular in advance."

"thank you boss."

Ning Yaxian nodded her head.

Zhou Shaoning almost fainted, feeling a little jealous.

A secretary of this level is still on probation?

Of course, it has nothing to do with her beauty.

A woman who combines beauty and talent is always the focus wherever she goes.

...

After leaving the Yingu Building, Zhou Buqi praised her with satisfaction: "You performed really well."

"Is there a reward?"

"Didn't you become a regular in advance?"

"You said that if I do a good job on the intranet, I can become a regular in advance."

Zhou Buqi was a little funny, I didn't expect her to be fussy about such a trivial matter, "What do you want?"

Ning Yaxian was very straightforward, and said simply and neatly: "Give me a raise."

"How much is your salary?"

"Eight thousand."

"It's not too low..."

Zhou Buqi frowned.

The monthly salary is 8,000, which is equivalent to the monthly salary of M1 grassroots cadres.

It is unreasonable to increase the salary and give a secretary a higher salary than the management.

Ning Yaxian sat in the car and said calmly: "My daughter is two years old this year. She is in a nursery school and pays 8,000 yuan a month. My house is relatively large, so I hired an auntie. I am late from get off work, and she has to help me pick her up. Child, give her a salary of 4,000 a month."

Zhou Buqi blinked, "Don't you have any money left?"

Ning Yaxian said: "After the divorce, the main thing is that the house belongs to me, the daughter belongs to me, the deposit belongs to me, and the company belongs to him. The family savings are more than 1 million, and I invested most of them in the stock market."

Zhou Buqi smiled, "You still know how to trade in stocks?"

Ning Yaxian pursed her lips, "It's okay, you can't miss the opportunity in the bull market."

Zhou Buqi couldn't help it: "According to the company's rules, it's not appropriate to give you a salary increase. It doesn't mean that I am the boss, so I can destroy the system."

"You can give it to me privately."

"ah?"

Zhou Buqi was taken aback.

It's not that he loves money, it's that giving her money in private, what kind of nature is it?

Seeing that he was thinking too much, Ning Yaxian shot him a look, "I can help you deal with some things that are inconvenient for you."

Zhou Buqi didn't quite understand, "What do you mean?"

Ning Yaxian said: "For example, if you go out on a date with your lover, I can help you round it up and hide it from your girlfriend."

Zhou Buqi almost fainted, "What are you talking about? I don't have a lover. If you don't believe me, ask Lao Luo." Then he asked the driver Luo Hualei: "Lao Luo, you have been with me for so long, tell the truth, I am outside Do you have a lover?"

Luo Hualei answered very simply: "No."

"Where's Shi Jinglin?"

"Um?"

Zhou Buqi looked suspicious.

A hint of teasing flashed in Ning Yaxian's eyes, "I can tell that she has an intimate relationship with you."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "How did you see that?"

"She's quite arrogant, and He Yang always criticizes her for this, but every time she comes to your office, she scolds you."

"She trained me?"

"Only one of us can use that attitude."

Zhou Buqi smiled, "You are right, remind her to be more careful in the company."

Ning Yaxian smiled and said, "So, do you agree?"

"Agreed to what? Well, she is my girlfriend."
