The location of the Time Headquarters has been chosen, and the design of the Time Headquarters will also begin. Zhou Shi had a deep memory of Zaha Hadid's Wangjing SOHO, and he was really shocked to imagine that architecture could still do this. Later, I went out of my way to get to know this person, she was the first female architect in history to win the Pritzker Prize, known as the "devil of architecture", according to her, she had been fighting for recognition for many years before she won the award.

Now, he didn't need to play any tricks, and went directly to Zaha Hadid Architects, and SOHO China's Zhang Xin and Zaha are good friends, so the two sides have a lot of cooperation. For example, Galaxy SOHO and Wangjing SOHO are both Hadid's works. However, it may be due to the financial crisis, and there is no sign of construction starting since the Galaxy SOHO in the inner court bought the land in May last year and commissioned Zaha to design it.

A few days later, time contacted them, and Zaha soon came to Yanjing to investigate.

Zhou Shi and Cao Jie worked together to perfect eork, and Yelp in Silicon Valley started the group buying model again. Yelp has a wide user base in the Silicon Valley area, and it is not difficult to carry out group buying activities for services such as life, dining, entertainment, etc. Merchants' trust in Yelp isn't comparable to that of the newly founded Groupon. Yes, the originator of group buying in the previous life has also been established now, and the official launch of the group buying campaign is also earlier than Yelp, but the competition between the two sides can be said to be incomparable. The sales of Yelp group buying on the first day of launch exceeded the sales of Groupon in a week, which has been online for nearly 3 months, and the accurate push of Friends.com is the key.

Yelp's group buying began, and Dianping's preparations were completed, and the group buying in the four cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen started almost at the same time, without causing too much sensation. It is mainly college students and white-collar workers and other people with relatively high consumption levels, and Dianping.com group buying also has a third-party application of Friends.com, which can directly complete the group purchase operation in Friends. For the time being, there are no commodity groups, they are all life services, more precisely, catering services.

The first group purchase of Dianping.com is to choose a well-known local restaurant with a slightly higher consumption level, the price is less than 100 yuan, and the first discount reaches 7% off, and Dianping does not charge a service fee. The average profit of the restaurant per person exceeded 20 yuan, which is also good, but on the first day, except for Shanghai, although the 1,000 group purchase discount vouchers met the group purchase requirements, they were not all sold out. But the next day, the second group purchase item: 999 yuan Spring Festival Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, 30 tables per city, was still sold out. In this way, there is a group buying project every day, and each project lasts about 3 days, and Yelp and Dianping have also started a potentially crazy group buying journey in a hurry.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and Zhou Shi can finally have a free Spring Festival to eat with his parents and watch the Spring Festival Gala. As Zhou Shi became the richest man in China, the previous apartment was not suitable for them, and Zhou Shi also arranged two bodyguards for his parents, a total of 6 people.

"Zhou Shi, we don't need bodyguards around us, we haven't encountered anything in the past few months, and the country is very safe!"

"There has never been a thief for a thousand days, only a thief for a thousand days. We're just going to prevent that 1 in 10,000 chance. Zhou Shi said patiently

"Did you offend someone outside?"

"I'm a nouveau riche, I don't have a deep foundation, and the outside world thinks that I have a lot of cash assets, and I am relatively easier to be kidnapped than other rich people, and it is easier to get a large ransom from me. And my business is so big that it's impossible not to offend people, and I don't even know about offending those people. For example, if I make money in the financial market, there will definitely be people who lose money, especially those who bet against me, I have made a lot of money, will the people who lose money find me trouble?" Zhou Shi tried his best to explain in simple words, which may not be accurate, but his parents can understand.

"Then we will all have to be so troublesome in the future?" Zhou Mu

"That's not necessarily, one is that I am bankrupt, naturally no one will fight our idea, and the other is that after a few years and when we gain a firm foothold, everyone knows us, understands us, and does not dare to offend us easily, and we will basically be free. "Zhou Shi

"Hey, forget it, handle your own affairs, isn't this your company?" Father Zhou said, the Spring Festival Gala appeared in the figure of Time Company, and Lei Jun attended the Spring Festival Gala.

"Your company is really good, big data predicts earthquakes, and it succeeds the first time. ”

"Yes, no wonder you have to match bodyguards, your skills are too powerful!"

"Wow, drones are so powerful?" Zhou Mu shouted.

Due to the outstanding contribution of the earthquake, Time Fruit Shell proudly stood on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and DJI drones once again became famous in the country. The action camera that Guoke configured for him played a big role in the ground preparation. At this time, Guoke's first-generation action cameras had already begun to be sold around the world. Although it is not as good as GoPro, but with the accumulation of various electronic technologies, as well as Spreadtrum, Geke Micro, and Haowei's coordinated design, the Guoke team, which is becoming more and more good at image processing, is confident that it will surpass GoPro in performance, as for sales, with the addition of Guoke mobile phones, it should be very good. Nut mobile phones are also very good, in addition to the high-end positioning of the feature phone, Android smart phone, there is a by-product of audio and video research, high-quality MP3, MP4, digital cameras and action cameras, as well as tablets under development. Nuts' tablet still uses Android and is ready to be released worldwide.

Speaking of tablet computers, I have to say that the netbook that is on fire now, in Zhou Shi's opinion, is a laptop with incomplete functions, and it is only 7 inches large, of course, the 10-12-inch netbook has also come out, the function is basically the same as the notebook, but there is no more redundant equipment such as optical drives, but the price is not much different from the notebook. Zhou Shi naturally thought of the tablet in his previous life, although the more famous one was Apple's iPad, but Zhou Shi had never used it at all, and there was no way to talk about it. The mobile, portable performance and battery life of the tablet far exceed that of the netbook, although the performance of the CPU and GPU is not as good as the netbook, but the customer group they target has low performance requirements for the tablet.

"Haha! That guy is very funny, not bad for money!haha!"

"This can have... This is really not!" Father Zhou actually let go of his laughter

This world has changed a lot, but nothing has changed more!
