Chapter 829 Five Emails

Wen Zhixia came back with her daughter.

The family was beaming and gathered together, and the parents also came to see the little granddaughter.

It's a pity that Zhou Buqi, the father, has no room, so he can only go to the company to visit the employees who are working overtime during the long vacation.

Several major executives are basically there.

After turning around briefly, he returned to the office and found that the little secretary Wang Yaojin was also there, stepping on a stool to wipe the clock hanging high.

Luo Qianli's job transfer has been confirmed. After the National Day holiday, she will report to the HR department. At that time, Wang Yaojin will officially become the office director of the general affairs office.

During this time, she was particularly active.

I don't rest even after the holidays, and I come to the company to clean up.

Zhou Buqi walked behind her lightly and lifted off her hip-wrapping skirt. It's a pity that the flesh-colored stockings blocked everything, and only a plump and round shape could be seen.

"Ah!"

Wang Yaojin screamed and almost fell off the stool.

Zhou Buqi has quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly hugs her.

Seeing that it was the boss, Wang Yaojin heaved a long sigh of relief, and said in a coquettish way: "Boss, why didn't you say something when you came, I thought someone was playing hooligans just now."

After finishing speaking, she fell into his arms, her beautiful eyes shining brightly, and kissed him on the face.

"In the office, stop flirting!"

Zhou Buqi glared at her, but his hands were not honest at all, he went up and down to mobilize her, having a great time.

Wang Yaojin hooked his arms around his neck, winked and said seductively: "Boss, today is on vacation, there is no one else, we are in the office...you can do whatever you want."

Zhou Buqi didn't like this, he still had business to do, so he snorted, "Fox spirit! Clean up well!"

Turning his head, he was slightly taken aback.

He actually saw another little secretary, Feng Mu'er, standing at the door of the inner door of the chairman's office and the general affairs room, her little face was flushed, and she looked embarrassed, feeling as if she had broken through adultery and felt ashamed.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Why didn't you rest?"

Feng Mu'er's face was flushed red, and she didn't seem to dare to meet the boss's gaze, "I have nothing to do, so why not come to the company and blow on the air conditioner."

Zhou Buqi can understand the hardships of life of this young white-collar worker.

It looks glamorous, but in fact their lives are a mess. The salary of several thousand yuan is not enough for them to maintain a decent life in a big city like the capital.

Many girls have to go to nightclubs to work part-time at night, selling wine and singing, or dancing as an atmosphere group.

Zhou Buqi nodded, returned to his seat, turned on the computer, and asked, "Mu'er, where do you live?"

"Over there at Xizhimen."

"That's not close."

"It's... not bad."

Feng Mu'er's voice was a little timid. In fact, she knew that the boss was approachable, but she just felt that the scene where Wang Yaojin and the boss were friendly just now had a bit of impact.

In terms of the nature of their work, she and Wang Yaojin are both secretaries.

If you have something to do as a secretary, do you have nothing to do as a secretary?

Zhou Buqi didn't care about her wild thoughts, and asked, "How is your living environment? Are you sharing a rent with a friend?"

Feng Muer bit her lip, shook her head lightly, ashamed to speak.

Zhou Buqi knew it in his heart.

If it’s a two-bedroom apartment shared with friends, then there’s nothing you can’t say, it’s a standard configuration for urban beauty. Sometimes a pair of girlfriends share a single apartment and live in the same bed.

These are normal.

But these two ways of renting a house are too expensive. Near the Fourth Ring Road, the monthly rent is four to five thousand. Even if two people share it equally, half of the salary is gone.

Many girls who have just left school have to rely on their parents to support them, or their boyfriends to support them. If they are self-reliant... then they can only live in cubicles.

The house with two bedrooms and one living room can be divided into 8 partitioned bedrooms, and each bedroom can only accommodate one bed, which is separated by wooden boards and is not soundproof. What happened next door can be heard clearly.

Judging by Feng Muer's embarrassment, she should be living in this kind of partition. This is really unfriendly to a young and beautiful girl like her.

Zhou Buqi nodded and asked, "Yaojin, what about you? What kind of house do you live in?"

"Shared renting, just one bedroom, 2,300 yuan a month."

"With friends?"

"No, it's a two-bedroom, one-living room. She rented the house, and then she gave up a bedroom to help her share the rent. But I can use the kitchen refrigerator and so on."

Zhou Buqi said: "Why don't you move out, find a better house nearby, and share the rent with Mu'er, and I will pay the rent for you."

"Renting a house..." Wang Yaojin said with a long voice, half-truth and half-fake, "I thought the boss was going to buy a house for us to live in."

Zhou Buqi couldn't help laughing, "Okay, then buy it. See if there is a house nearby, go and buy it, and you two will live."

Wang Yaojin's beautiful eyes flickered, and she almost jumped up in surprise, "Boss, is it true?"

"Um."

"Then...whose name is written on the real estate certificate?"

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "Okay, you can find the budget of 1.5 million by yourself, and live here first. Work hard for a few years, and reward you if you perform well."

"Thank you, boss!" Wang Yaojin was overjoyed, feeling that her hard work and dedication had finally paid off, and then, without avoiding Feng Muer's gaze, she rushed over on high heels, lay down next to Boss Zhou's executive chair, and kissed Feng Muer on his face. He took a sip and cheered, "Boss, you are so handsome! I love you so much!"

Feng Muer, who was watching, was completely dumbfounded.

It's not because of the closeness between Sister Yaojin and Boss Zhou, but because of the boldness of Boss Zhou.

A suite, just give it away in a few words?

Worth 1.5 million?

Feng Mu'er read this number silently. Based on her own salary, even if she doesn't eat or drink, it will take 20 years to save for so many years.

How many 20 years are there in life?

This money is so easy to earn.

Feng Muer was silently in a daze, feeling that her outlook on life had suffered a huge blow.

Zhou Buqi sent Wang Yaojin away. He had to work, so he opened the mailbox to check the email, and soon found Wang Xing's email.

The day before yesterday, Shi Jinglin talked about Baidu's Japanese strategy, but he didn't care at the time. It just so happened that he attended the internal gathering of the Taishan Club that night, and Boss Liu told him some internal information.

Baidu's Japanese strategy is a national key project.

"Huaxia Enterprises Going Global" is the most important part of the country's economic development in recent years. It is not only as simple as earning money from foreigners, but also symbolizes the rise of a big country and has symbolic meaning.

Looking around the entire domestic economic environment, although Huaxia has gradually become the world's factory, it can only rely on cheap labor. However, among neighboring countries, countries such as India and Vietnam are beginning to use cheaper labor to attract the attention of global investors. The advantage of low-cost labor will gradually weaken with the improvement of the "Labor Law" and the adjustment of the economic structure next year.

Where is the future of Chinese manufacturing?

The drawbacks of the Lenovo model have been revealed, the sales volume is high, but the profit margin is too low. The Huawei model is moving towards the center of the big stage, with extremely lucrative profit returns.

The reason behind this is that Lenovo's product components are all foreign, while Huawei's product components are basically self-produced.

In terms of internationalization, although there is still a huge gap between Huawei and Lenovo, Huawei has grown rapidly in recent years and has established a firm foothold in Europe. Next year is likely to become one of the world's top five communications giants, and has a strong moat and vitality far beyond Lenovo.

This illustrates a truth that truly competitive internationalization is to occupy the market with advanced technology rather than cheap products and labor.

Baidu Japan is already in trial operation, and the effect is quite good.

According to Baidu, Baidu Japan's operating speed is 10 times faster than Google's and 15 times faster than Yahoo Japan's. It has a huge technological advantage.

Of course Zhou Buqi didn't believe this, so he asked Wang Xing, who was on the front line, to give him a response.

Wang Xing responded to 5 long emails in a row, explaining in detail the current search pattern in Japan.

In Japan, Baidu's operating speed is indeed faster than Yahoo and Google. Because Baidu was just born, there is no advertisement. And it was a big fanfare when it came up, and the server scale was very large.

Yahoo and Google are different.

Japan is a rigid and solidified society, like a pool of stagnant water. Very developed, but lost variety, lack of vitality. The solidified social structure has also spread to the Internet.

Yahoo Japan's search is actually doing very badly.

But Japanese society is too rigid.

Netizens are unwilling to change after using Yahoo.

That is to say, when doing Internet business in Japan, whoever seizes the track first basically wins, and the whole environment is very rigid. Recently, Facebook has entered the Japanese market. It has done a lot of marketing, but the effect is very poor.

Because Japanese netizens have used the local mixi for two years, and they don't want to change it after using it.

In the second email, Wang Xing sent a bunch of Japanese, which were some relevant comments from Japanese media, and there are translated Chinese below——

"In today's era of fierce Internet competition, it is not very convincing for Baidu to promote the accuracy of search as a highlight. Although Baidu's search capabilities are still very good, search engines such as Google are not bad in this regard. I hope that in the future Baidu can bring fresher and more persuasive functions. Yahoo’s core competitiveness is to provide various services other than search, such as online auctions, and Baidu can learn from this model..."

Zhou Buqi read the second e-mail, with mixed feelings.

The good news is that Japan's Internet industry is really far behind compared to China's!

Yahoo is a product of the 1990s and a web1.0 website. This model, whether it is the United States or China, has basically become the edge of the times. Unexpectedly, it is still in full swing in Japan.

Japan's Internet industry is so backward, the chances of killing it are great!

The worry is that Japan's localization characteristics seem to be more serious than those in China.

So rigid!

Even if a rising star is better, it is difficult to surpass the habit. Even Facebook has hit a wall. It can be seen that the development of the Internet in Japan can only open up a new track. Quickly seize the track and complete the domination.

The third email was about eBay's past.

It is said that in 1999, eBay aggressively entered the Japanese market, doing auction business. However, Yahoo Japan has also opened a similar business.

Although eBay did better and more professionally, Yahoo seized the opportunity. Even though eBay spent huge sums of money on marketing, it still failed to survive and announced its withdrawal three years later.

Then, eBay came to China and competed with Taobao.

The fourth email talked about the value of the Japanese search market.

Shocking!

This year, the total value of the domestic search market is about 3 billion, and Baidu accounts for most of it. Although Baidu's market share has dropped to 50% under the impact of Micropoint, in terms of commercial operations, Baidu is still far ahead.

Japan is exaggerated.

The total output value of the search field this year exceeds 280 billion yen, equivalent to 16 billion Huaxia coins!

It is more than 5 times that in China.

Micropoint's annual revenue in China is about 300-400 million. If it enters the Japanese market, even if it only occupies 5%-6% of the Japanese search market, it will be worth 1 billion yuan!

Sure enough, it is a developed country, so rich!

This time, Zhou Buqi also understood why Baidu entered the Japanese market in such a hurry. As long as it is done, it is really the same as printing money.

Zhou Buqi was a little moved.

In Japan's search market, should Ziweixing try to get a foot in the door?

Although Japan's Internet industry is far inferior to that in China, their advertising business is too developed, and the public has a high degree of trust in advertising, and the conversion rate of advertising is extremely high... As long as it is done, it will make money every day.

The fifth email talked about the current salary situation in Japan.

For fresh graduates, it is generally around 200,000 yen to 250,000 yen. Converted to Huaxia currency, it is between 12k-15k.

This salary level is about twice that of the country.

The advantage is that, unlike Europe and the United States, Japan has a strong collectivist ideology, advocating dedication and power culture. If ordinary workers work in the factory, they must be paid overtime.

If a white-collar worker works in a company, working overtime is a contribution to the company, and there is no such thing as overtime pay.

This has formed the national culture.

In China, it is often the leader saying hello or arranging a new task near the end of get off work, implying him to work overtime. It's different in Japan, you have to work overtime.

Ning Yaxian told Zhou Buqi a story before, saying that she got off work on time, and everyone looked at her like a fool. Even if everyone chats and drinks tea, they have to stay in the company for a few hours after get off work to show their loyalty to the company and show their hard work.

Wang Xing also mentioned one point in the email, talking about seniority in Japanese companies.

In China, two 25-year-old young people with particularly strong abilities may earn 50,000 yuan a month; those with poor abilities may only earn 5,000 yuan a month. That doesn't happen in Japan, it's sorted by level, by age. Regardless of ability, in the same age group, the salary gap will not be too large.

This has resulted in many old men with high ranks and high salaries, but they know nothing. The core young people are low-level and low-paid, struggling hard.

Zhou Buqi pondered for a long time, thinking silently.

For Baidu's Japanese strategy, several executives were sent from China. It is conceivable that domestic management methods and corporate culture are adopted, and ability is the first priority, rather than length of service.

This is definitely much stronger than the solidified Japanese corporate culture.

However, will there be any problems of acclimatization? Could it be the non-integration at the cultural level that led to Baidu's final defeat?

Think about it a lot, and don't make a hasty decision.

Google is so powerful, if it didn't respect the local culture after coming to China, it would be disheartened. Baidu's visit to Japan is actually no different from Google's visit to China.

This matter is really not that simple, Ziweixing can't be too rash.
