Yelp's funding was quickly secured, Carol Butz was a rare no-brainer, and Yahoo's own group buying arm was sold to Yelp for a symbolic price, with Yahoo, Sequoia Capital, and finally Bezos, all endorsing a $3 billion valuation. Then, with the assistance of all parties, the person in charge of developing the European market was quickly selected. In order to catch up, the Yelp Europe website is built on Time Cloud and Amazon Cloud, and there is no doubt that Time Cloud will have the largest share.

In Zhou Shi's plan, the Time Cloud project will definitely be split from the friend network. Artificial intelligence will be shared by both parties. And the development of cloud computing during this period is also not bad, the main advantages are financial cloud, East West Bank and Time Cloud in-depth cooperation, the development of various technical indicators are very fast, group buying such an e-commerce website is not difficult, and it has been foreseen to develop a set of templates, widely promoted at home and abroad, just at this time the rise of group buying, even if there is no thousand group wars, hundreds of group battles may still appear, time cloud such a sword to the edge, can also establish a lot of popularity. If you can have a good user experience, more people will be willing to try it in the future.

Zhou Shi didn't appear much in YELP during this time, Shen Haoyu did okay, and after opening the group purchase of physical goods, he sorted out the various processes in the middle in an orderly manner. In fact, there is nothing to say about the group buying website, it is a very simple business model, the important thing online is publicity and promotion, and offline is the construction of the team. One of the advantages of Yelp is that there is no need to worry about the initial promotion, so Shen Haoyu and other team members focus on offline team building. As a result, many employees with low education level have been promoted.

"One of our priorities is to increase YELP coverage, and the other is to embrace the mobile Internet. "Zhou Shi

"The growth rate of mobile data seems to be much faster than that of PC data, and we will not relax. "Shen Haoyu

"Is Groupon putting a lot of pressure on us?" said Zhou Shi

"It's not big at all, we have just started to compete abroad, they don't have many advantages, and we are the boss of the industry at home. "Shen Haoyu

"That's good! Stick to our own pace of development and try not to be influenced by them. Zhou Shi knew that the initial market resource competition had nothing but price, but it was a double-edged sword, and it was likely to hurt himself and others. But what yelp, who has a financial advantage, has to do is to make others (Groupon) burn more money at the least cost. For example, YELP concentrated on conquering some key cities, from point to point. Induce some Groupon to expand in an all-round way regardless of the market environment. But these are all trails, and it's best to be useful, and it doesn't matter if it's useless. Not to mention that Yelp is the industry leader, even if it is behind its opponent, Zhou Shi will not completely pin his hopes of defeating his opponent on this.

"Of course!" Shen Haoyu didn't want to fail again

With the funds, the company quickly stabilized and entered a stage of rapid development, Zhou Shi had the heart to rest for a few days to deal with family disputes, who knew that Rubinstein of the shell found him, and he was startled as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Simon, I'm leaving!" Rubinstein

"Ahh

"No, I think Guoke has a chance to be a great business. "Rubinstein

"Am I hindering the development of the company?" Zhou Shi

"No, Simon, your actions have proven to be effective!" said Rubinstein

"So is it a matter of treatment, we are going to raise money, and I promise that you will not be less stock options. "Zhou Shi

"Thank you, I am very satisfied with the treatment that Guoke has given me. "Rubinstein

"What is that for?" Zhou Shi

"This~~" Rubinstein

"You have to give me a reason!" Zhou Shi

"There was a company that gave me a request that was hard to refuse...... Rubinstein

"It's hard to refuse, that company?" Zhou Shi was unwilling, is there a better choice than the fruit shell, in his previous life, the PLAM company he worked for was almost half useless, and it had little value.

"It's Nokia ......" Rubinstein

I bought a watch last year, Zhou Shi was trembling by such a change, didn't Nokia want to ask Microsoft's "Tennoi Trojan" to be the president, why did you dig the foot of the wall and dig up the husk?

"Are you going to be the CEO?" said Zhou Shi

"They gave me the position of CEO and CEO, and their chairman, Yoma Ollilah, is ready to retire," Rubinstein said

"But everyone can see the decline of Nokia, they used to be so successful, there must be a group of arrogant soldiers inside, and their thinking may not be able to keep up with the development of the times now. "Zhou Shi

"The development of Guoke is no worse than theirs, we have developed from zero to now, and this speed of development is enough for them to look sideways. "Rubinstein

"Hey~~" This matter was too sudden, Zhou Shi didn't have much urgency, and he didn't know what to say.

"Besides, when I arrived at Nokia, Guoke could also have an ally, and the Android system would have greater development. "Rubinstein

"But have you thought about it, in the era of smart phones, the three core systems, CPU/GPU, and display, Nokia has no advantages, and the shell is not as good as Nokia in terms of distribution channels and technology accumulation, and in the era of smart phones, he is just an ordinary company. Samsung is our strongest competitor. "Zhou Shi

"I know what you mean, even if everything goes well, Nokia may not have a chance to return to the top, but the shell is always yours, and Nokia may be branded by me......"

In this way, Zhou Shi can't force him to stay, he won't let himself quit the husk in order to keep Rubinstein. The husk is indeed Zhoushi's, whether it is design and manufacturing or corporate culture image, it is inseparable from Zhoushi's persistence. Not to mention technology research and development, patent accumulation, if it were not for Zhou Shi's strategic planning and large-scale investment, Guoke would not have achieved its current achievements. But no matter how excellent the company, there will be a turnover of employees, maybe for upside, maybe for personal pursuit, if Zhou Shi is not the protagonist, his company may have many executives leaving long ago.

It's good to get together and disperse, Zhou Shi didn't persuade him much, since Rubinstein found him, he must have been carefully considered, and he will not change his mind easily. The two exchanged their views on the company's present and future, as well as the industry, and finally chatted about some possible cooperation. If Nokia wants to develop, the mobile phone operating system must be changed, and the previous Symbian was not considered for the touch screen at all. There are a lot of other problems, and the new system redeveloped is not as good as Android, let alone compared to the Android of time.

The performance of the Android system is superior, and the development of third-party application APP is relatively difficult, but it is mainly suitable for mid-to-high-end mobile phones. The user experience and reputation are much stronger than Google's Android. Rubinstein knows these things in more detail, after all, in the beginning, the two companies worked together and developed together, and he was deeply involved. Later, in order to balance finances, reduce the company's debt ratio, and promote the development of Android, this allowed Time to take over.

"Simon, Android is going to have a place for Nokia. Rubinstein also knew that the operating system was his first step in getting started at Nokia, and if that didn't get him his way, then Nokia's board of directors would be too insincere to go.

"Of course there is no problem!" Zhou Shi
