Chapter 167: The Meeting of Time Holdings
Back in China, Zhou Shi really felt the benefits of the Davos speech to him. After a reunion with friends from Baidu, Zhou Shi began to visit the bigwigs in Yanjing's corporate world. This time, it seems that Zhou Shi is regarded as an equal object and has been warmly entertained. Everyone was full of curiosity about his career abroad, and wondered when the YouTube pipeline entered the country. Of course, Zhou Shi would not say that YouTube was besieged by many bigwigs of the US imperialists, and he was ready to let go.
A few days after the Spring Festival, Ma Ali came to Yanjing and hooked up with Zhou Hongyi. I don't know what kind of cooperation they will end up reaching, or if they will end up like in their previous lives. Alibaba's acquisition of 360, or 360's acquisition of Yahoo Search, are two different options. However, no matter how they choose, the impact on Zhou Shi and Time Friends is minimal.
However, the MM instant messaging tool of the friend network has developed very well in a short period of time, and has been downloaded and used by tens of millions of people, although the number of daily active people does not exceed one million, but its development potential is obvious to all, which can be seen from the recent decline in the stock price of the rattan news, and the distrust of investors in the rattan news can be seen. However, Zhou Shi does not think that MM will have too much impact on Tengxun QQ, and these two communication tools have different genes.
Fortunately, Brother Pony did not lose his mind, and his actions against his friends were much smaller. If he provoked Zhou Shi and let the time game be merged into the time friends, then the impact on Fuji Xun would be the greatest. However, Zhou Shi still wants to keep the purity of time friends, and the future development of Facebook told Zhou Shi that he can also live well through advertising. However, Time's game platform can maintain cooperation with Time Friends, and with the blessing of huge traffic, it may be able to defeat Valve's Steam.
In recent years, the Internet in China has only been a wild place, and all kinds of messy things have happened. While not enough to buy homicide, some things are of a similar nature. Ruixing's ferocity in anti-virus is even more than the bottom line, it is just a competitor, and it actually resorts to such vicious methods. In his previous life, Zhou Hongyi was even threatened with death after announcing that the antivirus software was free, and police from other provinces came across the province. Not only are antiviruses deliberately spreading viruses, but there are also competitors who hire hackers to carry out cyberattacks. The trouble encountered by Time Friends is not one or two, fortunately, Zhou Shi's emphasis on talent and learning is more than those competitors imagined, and so far, nothing can have a great negative impact on Time Friends.
The CF and Mtimegames (MG) game platforms were also officially launched a year ago, and they received a good response. Zhou Shi felt that this arrangement was full of irony, you must know that in 2002, the Steam game platform came out together with CS1.4 Beta. Time Games is a bit of a copycat, especially after Time Games incorporated the "Evil Sheep Knife" into its umbrella, IceFrog (Ice Frog) intends to join Valve and jointly develop DOTA with them, and the relationship between the two companies is getting deeper and deeper.
Li Ying and Lei Jun came to Yanjing almost at the same time, before Lei Jun officially arrived at the post, Li Ying had to take care of this side, and almost used her as two people. Although her ability may not be as good as that of several other big bulls, who let her stay with Zhou Shi for a long time, and she is still a beauty?
"I'm really sorry, but I'm about to turn your weight into a lightning bolt. When Zhou Shi saw Li Ying, he couldn't help but joke.
"Is it, with such a beautiful lightning bolt as mine?" Li Ying spun around lightly.
"Probably not! I'm not sure. Zhou Shi's answer did not satisfy her.
Lei Jun also came over at this time.
"Mr. Lei, do you want to come to Time earlier, what do you think of the first beauty of our time has become tired?" Zhou Shi
"Isn't this getting prettier, how nice!" Mr. Lei said in his chic Mandarin.
"But she wanted to be prettier. "Zhou Shi
"What nonsense, don't say Happy New Year, just talk about boring words" Li Ying
"But we are not destined to be happy in the New Year. As soon as Zhou Shi changed the topic, he was about to get down to business.
"Why?" said both of them almost at the same time.
"Originally, I wanted to try to get YouTube to go public independently this year, but after the Davos speech this time, the situation changed a lot. Zhou Shi said in a solemn tone
"What has changed?" asked Li Ying
"When everyone arrives, let's talk together" Zhou Shi.
This time it was a meeting of the main leaders of Time, and the friends of Time and the heads of Time Games at home and abroad were also present.
Zhou Shi looked at the people who were almost crowded in the conference room, and his heart was full of pride, there were more than 30 middle and high-level personnel, and there were more expectations for the future development of time.
In fact, there is nothing new in this meeting, and the medium- and long-term development has been repeated many times, and the short-term development goals are not his responsibility. But as the boss, the employees of the company must recognize that such a party should have been a year ago, but unfortunately it was disrupted by Davos.
Zhou Shi briefly talked about the implicit discrimination suffered by mainland enterprises in the United States, as well as the news that the oil pipeline may change hands.
Almost at the same time, I felt the sympathy from everyone, as if Zhou Shi had been wronged.
"What's wrong with everyone, don't think crookedly. The acquisition, conservatively estimated, could be worth $5 billion. Zhou Shi threw another bombshell.
"Ah~~~" There were bursts of exclamations all around.
"Now the information is still being kept secret, and I will tell you the details in the future, but remember to keep it secret, in case there is a turn and others don't buy it, I will be embarrassed" Zhou Shi
"Who wants to buy"
"Confidential!" Zhou Shi continued to remain mysterious, which was almost a miracle from an investment perspective. Even if the final price is $5 billion this time, Zhou Shi's income will be more than 200 times. N times more profitable than what the subprime mortgage crisis could be.
"While we may lose a strong promotional channel, we will have something else to add, and we will most likely acquire the original SNS social networking site Friendster. "Zhou Shi
"What?" Everyone was shocked by Zhou Shi's successive news, except for the senior management of the friend network, no one else was clear, Zhou Shi also came to Lu He a few days ago to send the information, this acquisition has great hope, so he chose to announce it to the company of the time department.
"We won't talk about last year's achievements, today we are mainly discussing this year's goals" These days, Zhou Shi basically had separate communication with people in various departments, and had a certain understanding of the company's development last year, so he said beautiful things.
The heads of various departments elaborated on the goals one after another, and Zhou Shi listened to it and felt that there was no big difference from his previous plan, so he was relieved. Even without Zhou Shi's guidance, the company can have a good development under the leadership of this group of elites. As for the dispute over rights that are most likely to cause turmoil in the enterprise, there is no need to worry about it now, Galaxy Capital and Zhou Shi have firmly grasped the company's equity.
"Mr. Lei, the open platform of Time Friends is about to be promoted, and the social game is being finally optimized, which are our two most important strategic products in the near future, when will you come to preside over the work?" Zhou Shi asked the last question of this meeting.
