Chapter 561 Did you understand what I just said?

At the end of September, Ziweixing launched three consecutive acquisitions: Sogou, Interactive Wiki and Tianya.

The first two were successful, but the third failed.

On the way to the United States, Zhou Buqi complained to Zhang Chaoyang about this: "The Tianya group is poor and poor, and the management is messy. Finally, a popular theme "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" came out, and because of internal Dou was squeezed away. I kindly wanted to help, but they didn't appreciate it!"

Zhang Chaoyang couldn't help but laugh, "Good intentions? I think you want to annex it!"

The two of them sat in the first class cabin, relaxed and comfortable, sitting on the sofa in the air corridor, sipping red wine, admiring the beautiful figure of the beautiful stewardess.

"What happened to the annexation? It's not that you don't want to give money, but you can also give stocks. We proposed several proposals, but they just didn't agree. Only accepting shares, not acquisitions, do you think it's ridiculous?"

"how?"

"As far as their management team is concerned, if I invest money in them, what's the difference between that and nothing?"

"Isn't it?" Zhang Chaoyang was a little surprised.

Zhou Buqi snorted, "Look at Mopu, and then at Tianya, how big is the gap? Tianya is the BBS community with the highest brand value in China."

Zhang Chaoyang said: "I know that Xing Ming is a cultural person, and he is not very good at business concepts. But it is also because of this that Tianya's production is extremely simple, but it is full of literary and artistic temperament, attracting a large number of white-collar workers and cultural people. In contrast, Xici Hutong and Maopu are too popular, and there is a big gap in terms of high-quality content.”

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "Anyway, we didn't agree."

Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile: "It's normal. I also made a shot back then, but I didn't win."

"you?"

"Well, Sohu made an offer last year and wanted to acquire Tianya. It's similar to your situation. They only accept shares and don't want to give up control."

"baffling."

"The literati's pursuit."

Zhou Buqi couldn't help sighing, "Ivory tower thinking!"

Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile: "Your Weibo, isn't it also a similar way of thinking, abandoning business, focusing on content, and attracting high-end users. This operation, it seems that you college students did it."

Zhou Buqi stretched out his hand and asked the stewardess for another glass of red wine. He said disapprovingly, "Can it be the same? Weizhiwang is an important part of our ecological industry. This link does not make money, but it can play an important role and help other people. Links are more attractive and earn more money. This is the great role of screws. What is there in Tianya? Do they have an ecology?"

"Ecology?" Zhang Chaoyang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Search for ecology? If it's just for the ecology of Xiaonei, it would be too ivory tower if you put up such a big battle to build Weibo."

Zhou Buqi smiled noncommittally, "Anyway, look at it, Tianya will not be sold, and the management team will not be replaced, it will only go from bad to worse. When Weizhi gradually releases access rights, it will be able to replace it."

Zhang Chaoyang was surprised, "Weizhi? Community?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Is it strange?"

Zhang Chaoyang frowned and said, "Friends.com is the largest community. How do you feel...you always like to fight with yourself? Do you promote internal competition to enhance the vitality of the enterprise?"

Zhou Buqi was silent for a while, a little worried that he would leak the business secrets and be stolen by Lao Zhang. But then I thought about it again, Lao Zhang is not in tune, and his mind is useless in business at all.

For example, when he came to the United States this time, he brought a beautiful woman to accompany him. He had just met for two days and was the post-80s host of Yanjing TV.

The day before yesterday afternoon, Xu Baihui organized an afternoon tea session, and called the two of them over to hold the red line, so they knew each other. In the evening, we went to a high-end restaurant and had a French meal together, and we slept together smoothly.

But even so, what Zhou Buqi said was ambiguous, saying very vaguely: "Friends.com is a circle with people as the core, and Weizhi.com is a circle with content as the core. Although both are communities, there is a big difference. .”

Zhang Chaoyang frowned, and looked at him deeply, "Xiao Zhou, don't you have too much appetite?"

Zhou Buqi said: "The opponent is too strong, so we have to be ready for everything."

"Your business model is a bit dangerous. If the spring breeze doesn't come...you will collapse. The stalls are too big, and you don't actively reserve cash flow, and your ability to deal with crises is too weak."

"Thank you for your advice."

"Um?"

"The spring breeze will come, I feel it."

Zhou Buqi smiled slightly, his face full of confidence.

As a business, if you want to grow bigger and stronger quickly, you must bear greater risks, reduce cash flow reserves, and use all available funds for business expansion.

It's like buying stocks.

It is of course safer to keep a 10% or 20% position, but you can only make a small amount of money here and there. If you want to make a lot of money, you have to work with a full position, or even increase leverage.

Either die and ascend to the sky, or soar into the sky.

For a company, leverage means debt. From this point of view, Ziweixing's strategy is not too aggressive, at least it has not yet borrowed from the bank.

Uh... Internet companies these days can't get loans even if they want to.

At this time, Ning Yaxian came lightly and gracefully wearing slippers, with a suit jacket on her arm.

Zhang Chaoyang immediately smiled and said, "Secretary Ning is so virtuous!"

Ning Yaxian pursed her lips and said, "It's a bit cold in the cabin, don't catch a cold." After saying that, she walked over and put her clothes on Zhou Buqi's shoulders.

"Is Secretary Ning married?"

"separated."

"Ah?" Zhang Chaoyang was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Leave... It's good to leave. If you don't go to the old one, don't you come to the new one."

Ning Yaxian was not annoyed, she smiled sweetly, her posture was very beautiful, even more beautiful than the stewardess not far away.

Zhang Chaoyang winked and said, "Secretary Ning, your boss... has a lot of women outside, right? You are the secretary, you must know."

Ning Yaxian knew that Boss Zhou wouldn't even admit to death in this kind of matter, so she definitely wanted to follow him, so she said with a smile: "What's the matter, our boss and his girlfriend have a very good relationship."

Zhang Chaoyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You two really have one heart."

Zhou Buqi said proudly: "That's for sure, she is my secretary, she can't bend her elbows out, can she?"

Zhang Chaoyang said: "Come on, tell the truth, have you two slept?"

If it was a topic like this, if it was a young girl, she might cover her face shyly and run away. But Ning Yaxian, a light and familiar woman, is different, she can accept large-scale topics to a certain extent.

The main reason is to see what attitude Boss Zhou has.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Buqi didn't want to talk at all, and hummed: "Old Zhang, I think you have drunk too much? If you are interested, go play with your new love, and stop molesting my secretary."

After saying that, she stood up and took Ning Yaxian's arm, and went back.

Ning Yaxian was a little disappointed, so she could only grit her teeth and go all out, took a deep breath, and said softly: "Boss, many people have asked me that."

"What?"

"Just like Mr. Zhang, asking if you slept with me."

"Well……"

"It's true, Miss Shi asked, Mr. Yan asked, even my sister asked."

"Your sister?" Zhou Buqi was surprised, "I don't seem to know her?"

Ning Yaxian had a topic to talk about, so she went to his seat together, sat down next to each other, and said with a light smile: "You have been downstairs to my house, she has seen you several times, and praised you for being handsome, and said... ...and said that you look like a woman nemesis, and you must have had that kind of thing with me."

Zhou Buqi was a little dizzy, "What's the matter? At most, I touched my thighs twice and scratched my butt a few times, right? Doesn't this slander me?"

Ning Yaxian said in a soft voice: "Yes, I also said that we are innocent, but she didn't believe it at all, and said... and said that since I went to work, the smile on my face has become more and more, At first glance, she was nourished by love. The complexion on her face is getting better and better, at first glance, she is... just..."

"What, don't squeak."

"She said that I look good because we are often together... Well, you moisturized me."

"I rely on it!"

Zhou Buqi was a little bit crazy.

Ning Yaxian also showed a bit of helplessness, "I explained it to her several times, but she didn't believe it, and even said that I was lying to her. What is there to lie about? If there is, there is, and if there is no, there is not."

Zhou Buqi twitched his lips, "How old is your sister? Still talking about this kind of topic with you? The scale is big enough."

"Four years younger than me, and someone who has come here."

"What's the meaning?"

"She was also divorced, so she was asked to come from Nancang to help me take care of the children."

Zhou Buqi's pupils shrank, "Your sister is also divorced?"

Ning Yaxian nodded, "Well, one month later than me."

"hiss!"

Zhou Buqi's complexion changed slightly, and his pupils shrank even more.

Ning Yaxian looked at him confusedly, "Boss, what are you thinking?"

Zhou Buqi coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "I'm thinking about how to avoid everyone's misunderstanding. This feeling of being wronged every day is really not good."

Ning Yaxian was a little agitated, and said with hints: "Yes, if there is... I will admit it. But now there is nothing, it's uncomfortable to be said that."

"So have you come up with a solution?"

"Um...no."

Ning Yaxian was going crazy.

She was about to read out the answer, but he still didn't know. There must be a limit to pretending to be stupid, right? Boss Zhou, it's almost over! Don't play, it's time to go!

Zhou Buqi looked like he was thinking hard, "It seems that after going to the United States, I have to think about this problem carefully and come up with a reasonable and effective solution."

Ning Yaxian felt unloved, and after a while, she took a deep breath and said, "Boss, you are young and handsome, and I... can be regarded as a bit of a woman's capital. In addition, we are the boss As for the relationship with the secretary, I think no matter how restrained and polite we are, others will misunderstand."

"Yeah, this is difficult!"

"OK."

"By the way, your sister... is your real sister?"

"ah?"

Ning Yaxian was stunned for a moment, with a puzzled expression on her face. Just as she was thinking about brewing her emotions, she opened the last layer of screens. The so-called women chasing men, interlayer gauze, seeing that it is almost the same, why change the subject again?

I wanted to shout in my heart: "Boss Zhou, did you understand what I just said?"

Coincidentally, Zhou Buqi was also shouting in his heart: "Secretary Ning, did you understand what I just said?"
