Chapter 944: Binding

This Spring Festival, there are 117 overtime employees staying in the company.

On New Year's Eve, Ziweixing booked a large auditorium in the Jade Palace Hotel and set up ten tables for everyone to celebrate the Spring Festival together. Others made programs and performed on stage.

Zhou Buqi didn't go up, but just walked through the ten tables in turn, and had a round of drinks with the staff.

It was a happy party.

But someone pulled him to talk about work.

Yu Yongfu, the chairman of UC, just returned from Japan.

This buddy drank a few glasses of white, his face was very red, but his mind was very clear: "UC Browser, passed by Softbank."

"oh?"

Zhou Buqi was a little surprised.

Yu Yongfu drank a little too high, smiled, his eyes almost formed a line, "But they also have a condition. Softbank owns 40% of Yahoo Japan's shares, and Sun Zhengyi is the chairman of Yahoo Japan's board of directors. They are all owned by the same family. If our browser wants to enter Softbank’s mobile phone retail business, we must set the default homepage of UC to Yahoo Japan. They have always done this in the past.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Yes, I have repeatedly emphasized that we must respect the local social culture and user habits, and don't learn the arrogance of Americans. We don't need to change the local customs, don't make value judgments, and follow the trend to make money That's it."

Yu Yongfu laughed and said, "However, we are not vegetarians either!"

"oh?"

"The default homepage of UC Browser must be Yahoo Japan. However, there will be a default plug-in bar on the browser, which is our YikYak."

"Well, yes!"

Yu Yongfu said: "Yahoo Japan has a sub-channel of YikYak, and there is a default shortcut entry on the browser. As long as the UC browser can be rolled out smoothly, the traffic entry on the mobile phone will be opened."

Japan's 3G network has been popular for many years, and the number of mobile Internet users is more than that of computer Internet users.

So making a Japanese website is not the same as doing it in China.

In China, it is mainly for the PC side.

The mobile terminal is mainly business-oriented, and the 2G network cannot handle too many services.

Japan wants PC-side websites and mobile-side websites to be launched at the same time. The general structure is the same, but the layout design should be different.

The speed of the 3G network is not too fast, which leads to the removal of many computer-side website functions on the mobile-side website. Too many features, too high a connection speed, and load times take too long.

Yu Yongfu smiled and said: "You are right in saying that most Japanese users are idiots, which is why they prefer feature phones to smart phones. Smart phones need to be operated more by themselves. , It is very complicated to use. The function phone is set by the operator, and you can use it directly. The UC browser opens an entry for YikYak, which is like building a bridge across the river for mobile phone netizens.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Softbank has passed, and it can operate under the banner of Softbank. We need to negotiate with other operators as soon as possible, and roll out UC Browser as soon as possible. This is free software and is competitive."

Yu Yongfu was a little embarrassed, and said: "If the operator purchases the browser from outside, then it's easy to handle. We provide it for free, and they save a lot of money. But some operators have their own software department, and they do it themselves. Mobile browsers. That doesn't work well."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "It's easy, just wait! Once the economic crisis breaks out, all enterprises will suffer, especially Japan's overly traditional social model. Even if it is a lifetime employment, under the financial tsunami, there must be Mass layoffs. UC Browser is free, which is doing them a huge favor."

Yu Yongfu said: "Well, we can design along this line of thinking."

Zhou Buqi said: "By the way, what you said made me suddenly think of something. Japanese users are all stupid and sweet. Isn't this the same as domestic netizens a few years ago?"

Yu Yongfu said with a smile: "It's basically the same. Most people don't dare to operate computers that are too complicated, for fear of breaking the computer. The same goes for mobile phones. They don't even dare to uninstall or install them. They are all pre-installed by the operator. Whatever they use."

Zhou Buqi narrowed his eyes, "This is the opportunity!"

"Um?"

"A few years ago... Well, before the micro-point security guards appeared, there was a super powerful marketing method that looked like a virus in the domestic Internet market. With this trick, Taobao beat eBay all over the place. Even if eBay buys out all the advertising spaces on major websites."

"I go!"

Yu Yongfu's expression changed, and he immediately thought of something.

Rogue plugin!

All kinds of rogue plug-ins and rogue software are crazily sweeping across the computers of netizens, and using virus-like methods for marketing, which is of course very powerful.

There is a term in marketing called "viral marketing", and rogue plug-ins are true viral marketing.

This phenomenon has caused great distress and pain to netizens across the country.

Because of this, once the micro-point security guard is launched, it can quickly become popular all over the country, and the installation rate will reach 90% at the highest time. It is because everyone has been miserable by rogue plug-ins and rogue software, which is a rigid demand.

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "It's definitely not possible to copy the country, it's too much. However, appropriate tricks can be used a little bit. For example, designing a YikYak plug-in. Cooperating with some software manufacturers. When users install such software , you can choose whether to install the YikYak plugin."

"Bundle install..."

Yu Yongfu nodded, which was much weaker in nature. Although it is a bit irregular, it is permitted by the installation agreement and approved by the user, so it is not too rogue. Unlike those plug-ins in China in the past few years, they were all installed forcibly or secretly, and they couldn’t be uninstalled after uninstalling.

Zhou Buqi said: "Research on this plan. If it is feasible, it will be a great boost to the promotion of YikYak. There is a UC browser bundled on the mobile phone, and the YikYak plug-in is installed on the computer through software sharing. Into the user's browser, so that the user can directly enter the website through the browser plug-in."

This set certainly cannot be done in the country.

Similar operations have already stink on the street.

But Japan is fine.

They haven't experienced the troubles of rogue software, rogue plug-in forced installation, inability to uninstall, and constant pop-up advertisements, and they don't have that strong aversion to this kind of marketing behavior.

Then it is very easy to operate.

It's all silly and sweet. When installing software, it often just keeps going to the next step, defaults to all program settings, and then completes the installation. Then, the YikYak plug-in is loaded into the browser.

Yu Yongfu pondered for a while, "It can be a computer version of UC browser, um, change the skin and name of Weidian browser, focusing on fast, simple and lightweight Internet access."

Zhou Buqi said: "That's how to do it! Two ways to go together. On the one hand, launch the UC browser on the PC side, which must have the YikYak plug-in by default. On the other hand, cooperate with some commonly used software to build the YikYak plug-in. Do some research and report a promotion Bring up the budget."

It's half past ten in the evening, the show is over.

Zhou Buqi went home to celebrate the Spring Festival.

The scene is very warm.

Mom, Aunt Liu, Aunt Xue, these are elders; Wen Zhixia, Shi Jinglin, Wu Yu and Xue Baoshan, these are girlfriends; It's my daughter, my own.

They are all beautiful.

Only one person was an eyesore, his father Zhou Jianjun who was sitting on the sofa watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Zhou Buqi is very irritable.

How could there be a second man in my harem? Not even the emperor! According to the rules in the history books, he had to be placed under house arrest.

Zhou Jianjun saw that he looked uneasy, and asked strangely, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Buqi coughed lightly: "It's okay, Dad, this room is full of my women, you don't stroll around, and don't go upstairs, it's inconvenient..."

Zhou Jianjun stared angrily, "You bastard!"

Zhou Buqi didn't bother to talk to him, so he had to find out.

The master is back, you can make dumplings and prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Aunt Xue is an expert cook, so she got up and went to the kitchen.

When you are ready, take it to the living room, and the whole family will make dumplings together.

Zhou Buqi also went to the kitchen, intending to make dumplings with his hands clean, leaned over and asked nervously, "Aunt Xue, how is my dad?"

Aunt Xue was very puzzled, "I just said hello to him, but didn't say much, what's the matter?"

"That's fine," Zhou Buqi breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked serious, "I repeat, stay away from him, he is not reliable at all. You have a face, a chest, a figure, and a temperament , I guess he must have some evil thoughts."

Aunt Xue was angry, "I think you are the one who has evil thoughts? You are so..."

Then, the words stopped.

Zhou Buqi looked strange.

Aunt Xue's face was reddish, she was afraid that others would hear her, she lowered her voice, "You look good, that's your father, you have to respect him, you have to respect your elders."

Zhou Buqi coughed lightly: "Aunt Xue, you may have misunderstood, I just like to play a little joke with you sometimes, I really don't have any evil thoughts."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Aunt Xue's face flushed suddenly, and she looked back cautiously, "Go out, you are not needed here."

Zhou Buqi said seriously: "Auntie, I'm not joking with you, you have to protect yourself. Well... If my dad gets messed up one day, you can tell him that you are my woman and let him stay away from you .”

Aunt Xue was ashamed and angry, annoyed and annoyed, her phoenix eyes widened, "Zhou Buqi, please speak clearly, who is your woman?"

He looked fierce.

The voice was very small, for fear of spreading it.

Zhou Buqi looked puzzled, "Aunt Xue, what's the matter with you? What are you excited about? I am the head of the family, of course you are my woman. Not only you, but also my mother, Aunt Liu, Nannan, Nian Nian, aren't they all my women? Don't you want me to protect you? Aunt, are you thinking wrong?"

Aunt Xue couldn't laugh or cry, she was crazy about this bastard boy's logic, "Don't come here, I can't say no to you. Your father is very friendly, and I have never seen him mess up. But you, a lot of messes, you Pay attention to me. If you dare to be frizzy again, I will tell Baoshan!"

"say what?"

"explain……"

Aunt Xue was on the verge of speaking, but couldn't continue, her face turned red, and she glared at him again.

Zhou Buqi grinned, shook his head and said, "Auntie, I found that your thoughts are a bit unhealthy. Sister Bao is my girlfriend, how can you have such thoughts? This is not... Of course, you are not wrong. It doesn’t matter what you think about this kind of thing, as long as you behave well and have other thoughts in your heart, there is nothing wrong with it.”

"Get out! It's inexplicable!"

Aunt Xue pushed him twice, thinking that this bastard boy could really slander others, obviously he is the one who flirts from time to time... In shame, anger and annoyance, she stepped on his foot again.
