In foreign countries, when it comes to Weibo products, only Twitter is the most representative, and in China, there is only Sina Weibo. Zhou Shi's investment in Weibo, the first choice is Sina, in addition to the historical legacy, Sina's own professionalism in the media field can not be ignored. Chen Tong, who single-handedly created Sina Weibo, is a very professional and excellent talent.

Lei Jun, Zhou Shi and Yin Yue made an appointment with Cao Guowei, CEO of Za Lang, a CEO with a financial background and the first CEO of an Internet company in China to achieve a management MBO. At a time when SNS was hot and the crowd was fighting, it was the first to withdraw from the competition of social networks. opened up the battlefield of Weibo, and he finally defeated giants such as Penguin, Sohu, NetEase, etc., allowing Sina Weibo to dominate the market. Through various things, it has been proved that his ability is undoubtedly very good.

"Mr. Cao, take the liberty of asking, what is Sina's ideal?" Although he was not familiar with him, after greetings, Zhou Shi was the first to speak.

Lei Jun and Yin Yue have spent much more time in China than Zhou Shi, and they are much more familiar with the village than Zhou Shi, they have long been familiar with Cao Guowei, and the Baidu blog in charge of Yin Yue has even taken Sina Weibo down.

"Sina's long-term goal is to be a respectable new media company!" Cao Guowei hesitated for a while, but still firmly answered Zhou Shi's question.

"Then I'm relieved, I was still a little worried, but now it's much better!" Zhou Shi

"Oh, worry about what?" Cao Guowei

"That's right, we want to cooperate with Sina to set up a microblog company. Lei Jun took over.

"Mr. Lei, Mr. Lei!" Yin Yue called Lei Jun a few times dissatisfied

"Oh, and Yin Yue, the goddess of our village!"

"To be more precise, Yin Yue came out of Baidu and wanted to start a business, so she chose this project and hoped to cooperate with the two of us. "Zhou Shi

Cao Guowei saw the situation in front of him and was a little puzzled, they came over before they could discuss the matter. He didn't know that Lei Jun had never thought of cooperating with Sina, in his eyes, the portal was the kind of company that had no future, and with the ability and traffic of time, there was no need to cooperate with Sina at all. Zhou Shi doesn't think so, no matter how good the resources are, no matter how important the talents are. Otherwise, there would be no room for other companies to survive on the Internet, and there would not be so many startups walking down this path one after another.

"Mr. Yin came out of Baidu?" Cao Guowei asked, Yin Yue is the vice president of Baidu

"Yes, there has been a resignation, it will be announced in a few days. "Yin Yue

"What kind of product is Mr. Yin's Weibo?"

"It's similar to Twitter, there is no essential difference. However, I will improve it to make it more suitable for the usage habits of domestic users. "Yin Yue

In my opinion, it's enough to have time, money, technology, traffic, and almost nothing. "Cao Guowei

"There is no shortage of time, but time is with friends, Weibo and friends have a lot of homogeneous competition, and the essence of Weibo is a media platform, I hope he can be as fair as possible, and domestic Internet giants also need such supervision. If you only cooperate with Time, then Weibo is a product of Time, which conflicts with my philosophy. "Yin Yue

"But the tripartite cooperation, the future will introduce a lot of investors, the company's equity is too dispersed, the company's development has great drawbacks, you have considered this" Cao Guowei

"Weibo is a platform, the more dispersed the equity, the greater the fairness of the platform, and the more the public trusts him, as long as Time and Sina remain stable, I am still in the position of CEO, and the company can't be messed up." Yin Yue said confidently, "If there is really no way, let the richest man directly privatize." ”

"But what if people don't agree to privatization?" said Mr. Cao

"Mr. Cao, Tianhe Securities, that is, the former Lehman Brothers, intends to provide services for Mr. Cao and conduct a management MBO for Sina, I don't know if you have this idea?" Zhou Shi interjected, at this time they may have this idea.

"Very good, although I believe in your ability, but I still need to know the specific development plan of Weibo before I can agree to cooperate with you. Cao Guowei did not answer, but continued to talk to Yin Yue.

"No problem! My plan is to ......" Yin Yue

There are not too many secrets in the development of Weibo, everything can be put on the table, that is, to fight for the other party's operational ability and professionalism. Twitter China is a group of IT people in charge, and more IT methods are used to solve problems, but the essence of Weibo is media, and many problems cannot be solved by technology or are difficult to solve at this stage.

Cao Guowei nodded while listening, Baidu Blog defeated Sina Blog, he was full of curiosity about Yin Yue, of course, the most curious is Zhou Shi, the richest man, he and Yin Yue have known each other for a long time, have had many exchanges, and there is no doubt about her ability. However, he is still a little worried about this cooperation. Zhou Shi is the richest man, although from all indications, he is a good partner, but he is still a little hesitant when it is his turn. After all, there is only one life, and the cooperation of enterprises has to be cautious.

Until the two sides left in the end, Cao Guowei did not give a positive answer, although he knew that it was difficult to reach a reunification at one time for such a thing, but Zhou Shi was still a little disappointed.

"Is Mr. Zhou free, why don't we talk!" Cao Guowei

"Yes!" Zhou Shi did not refuse.

Seeing this, Lei Jun and Yin Yue left, leaving the two behind. They changed places and sat down again.

"I'm really curious about Mr. Zhou! It's not easy to make a name for yourself in Silicon Valley. "Cao Guowei

"It's not easy, but in my experience, if I had been a little braver, more people might have succeeded than me. Zhou Shi was modest

"It's not easy. Cao Guowei smiled bitterly

"Deng Feng of the Northern Lights, they have this opportunity, it's a pity!" Zhou Shi

"Mr. Zhou will also learn from Mr. Deng, and he is no longer on the front line of the Internet?" Cao Guowei

"No, I'm ready to start my own business again. "Zhou Shi

"Start a business again? Will Zhou always join Weibo?"

"I still want to start a global company with headquarters in Silicon Valley. "Zhou Shi

"Can you know which direction Mr. Zhou is engaged in?" Cao Guowei

"I have a long-term idea, it's complicated, but the first thing I'm going to do is the sharing economy. "Zhou Shi

"Sharing economy?" Cao Guowei also knows this term, but he really hasn't thought about the Internet application of the sharing economy.

"I think the waste of resources in modern society is a bit serious, and in my opinion, the Internet is originally a tool to improve social efficiency, so I thought of the sharing economy" Zhou Shi casually nonsense, half-truths and half-truths.

"Can you elaborate on that?" said Cao Guowei

"Of course you can ......," Zhou Shi said to him slowly.

I have a lot of holidays this month, and I have free time in the last two days, otherwise I won't be able to make up 180,000 words this month.
