Chapter 638: Beyond

Wang Xing told Zhou Buqi that Tan, the vice president of Rising, and several subordinates teamed up to make a variety of "Legend 3" cheats, and sold them on the Internet, with a profit of more than 2.8 million yuan.

He was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months for the crime of illegal operation. However, the prosecution was dissatisfied with the sentence and filed an appeal, saying that it would increase the sentence.

Zhou Buqi snorted and said, "Obviously he is an anti-computer virus expert, but he turned out to be a Trojan horse plug-in for profit. If you know the law and break the law, you should be punished severely."

Wang Xing laughed and said: "A dignified vice president actually wants to be a game hacker."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "It's not once or twice, by the way, I will arrange two tasks for you. First, Tang Binchen will return to China in two days. They are returning with a full load. You represent me at the airport to meet them. Second, look around to see if there are any vacant office buildings."

"Is the company moving?"

"No way, the company is developing too fast. Wang Haiyang said that 1,000 new employees will be recruited this year. The three-story office building is definitely not enough."

"If we move..." Wang Xing hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice, "I think the search business group should be moved out. This business now has more than 200 employees, and it is said that 500 new employees will be recruited this year, which is the largest in Ziwei Star. department."

Another point is that the search business group was transformed from the original Sogou. Now there are more than 200 people who used to be employees of Sohu. Those upstairs and downstairs will inevitably leak the news.

Although there are no secrets in the Internet circle, if you move away, at least you can have a geographical isolation.

Zhou Buqi nodded and sighed, "We moved away, and the management efficiency will be reduced. By the way, are we still using MSN for our internal video conferencing?"

"Yes, MSN is a commercial product. Compared with other tools, it is relatively stable."

"Do you think it is necessary for us to build a video conferencing software? MSN has too few functions, the one that allows multiple people to video? There seems to be such a service website in the United States."

"Yes, but it's not necessary?"

"Well, let's talk about it later."

...

Zhou Buqi went upstairs to flirt with boss Zhang again.

The financial report in January is so amazing, if you don’t show it off, you always feel that something is missing. It is definitely not possible to announce it to the outside world, but there is no need to hide it from Lao Zhang.

It just so happened that Lao Zhang was also looking at the financial report for January.

Frown tightly!

The performance has declined year-on-year!

Not good!

Zhou Buqi was not polite at all, walked over, took the document and read it.

Zhang Chaoyang said angrily, "That's Sohu's internal document, what are you looking at?"

Zhou Buqi curled his lips and said, "Sure enough, it's the old man who owes the money. If I pay back the money now, you will be better than me? Seeing your frowning face, your performance is not very good, right?"

Zhang Chaoyang sighed, "The portal is going downhill!"

"That's for sure, I told you a long time ago."

Zhou Buqi quickly read the financial report and shook his head.

I am very excited!

Cool!

Finally surpassed Sohu!

For the performance of the previous two years, Ziweixing treated Sohu as a big brother, and the camel was bigger than the horse.

Entering 2007, it has surpassed Sohu in a straight line!

In January, Sohu’s revenue was US$11.4 million, down 1% year-on-year, and its net profit was US$1.5 million, down 25% year-on-year.

Looking at revenue, Sohu is half of Ziwei Star.

Look at the profit...the gap is huge, Sohu is only one-sixth of Ziweixing.

Even if Sohu is a content website, its profit margin is lower than that of Internet services, and it should not be so low. It must be that Lao Zhang's management is too loose, and the control of funds is not strict enough.

"Your grades are good, right?" Zhang Chaoyang became annoyed when he saw his beaming expression.

Zhou Buqi laughed and said: "It's so-so, it surpasses Sohu."

"Last month, it was more than 20 million less than ours, and this month exceeded it?" Zhang Chaoyang was a little surprised, the search business could not be effective so quickly.

"It's not search, it's Friends.com, haven't you followed it?"

"Has anything changed?"

"The recommendation algorithm of the advertisement has changed. I told you before that the advertisement is customized based on personal information."

Zhang Chaoyang looked at him deeply, "The effect is good?"

"certainly!"

"What about the data?"

"Last month's advertising fee was 36 million, and this month's 95 million."

"Depend on!"

Zhang Chaoyang was startled and opened his mouth wide.

I can't believe it at all.

Zhou Buqi said: "Old Zhang, I told you a long time ago that the Internet in the past few years relied on opportunities and competition. In the future, the Internet must be inseparable from technology. However, the Sohu model is too backward. Page advertisements in the 2.0 era, even if you want to give you technical support.”

Zhang Chaoyang was not interested in hearing what he said, so he waved his hand, "Are you really going to the Internet conference next week?"

"No!"

"Everyone is very curious about you. You go, get to know everyone in the industry, and make friends."

"It's not necessary, it's enough to have a good relationship with the Beijing circle."

"I've never seen a young man like you."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "I have never seen such a lazy successful person like you. Look how hardworking Lei Jun is. How do you compare with others?"

Zhang Chaoyang sneered, "Are you diligent?"

"certainly."

"I think your secretaries are pretty good."

Zhou Buqi didn't blush, "Your secretary is also pretty good."

"Huh?" Zhang Chaoyang blinked, with a half-smile, "Let me introduce you? Don't worry, I'm not like you. I don't move people around me."

"Get out!" Zhou Buqi snorted, "What, you form a game this weekend, let's go sing together? It's called Zhou Hongyi."

Zhang Chaoyang said angrily, "Are you asking me to work for you again?"

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "You are not helping me, you are helping Lao Zhou. Try to take over his company before the Spring Festival, and it can be regarded as one of his wishes."

Zhang Chaoyang frowned, and said with emotion: "Your combo boxing is really beautiful! It's so smart! It's amazing!" Then he said to himself: "First make safe products, and then rely on the strength of safe products It’s a good idea that trust drives safety online.”

"Thanks."

"The market share of Weidian search is so large, which puts pressure on Baidu."

"Not far."

"Baidu defeated Google by localization, and Weidian has done more extreme and more localized. The moat is not deep. If you want to gain a foothold, you still have to have the technology to crush others like Google. Just like you That said, technology is dominating the Internet of the future.”

"Um?"

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, feeling that there was something in his words.

Zhang Chaoyang glanced at him and snorted softly, "You can do this, but others won't? Let me remind you, be careful."

Zhou Buqi couldn't help thinking of something.

In the previous life, when 360 Safe Browser occupied nearly 70% of the market share, and 360 Search accounted for 30% of the search share, when it threatened the existence of Baidu... Baidu took decisive action and launched Baidu Security Guard.

However, he wasn't worried.

Baidu's security products can't even beat 360, will it be Weidian's opponent?

Zhou Buqi's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Old Zhang, you are so right. I will call Li Yanhong later and ask him to focus and do what he can. Don't just surpass Sohu here, turn your head It surpassed Baidu, so what's the point? You can't let him mess around."

Zhang Chaoyang laughed angrily, feeling that this kid was crazy.
