The development of the situation was almost as expected by Zhou Buqi.

It is very rare for this kind of vicious incident to happen in Silicon Valley. Occasionally, it happens to low-class blacks or Mexicans who break in from the outside.

This time it was different. It was a white-collar worker with an annual income of hundreds of thousands of dollars who shot his company boss.

With the suspect's surrender, the matter has basically been settled.

It’s time to enter the subsequent processing phase.

For senior executives like Bill Gates and Larry Page, Zhou Buqi is a famous figure. But to many ordinary people in Silicon Valley, Zhou Buqi is just a newcomer with a weak reputation.

Quite a bit.

There needs to be a wave of momentum.

It is not only a way to become famous personally, but also to enhance the influence of Ziweixing.

Zhou Buqi didn't rush to take action. He first approached Yang Zhiyuan, the founder of Yahoo.

This guy has been having a bad time lately.

When Microsoft failed to acquire Yahoo, he was the most critical person to disrupt it. After Microsoft withdrew, Yahoo's performance not only did not improve, but completely collapsed due to the financial tsunami. Investors went crazy, so much so that he completely lost his voice on the board of directors.

Recently, Yahoo has publicly announced that it is looking for a new CEO.

Yang Zhiyuan is about to step down. He will only retain his last vestige of humanity and retain his position as director.

Although he was born in Baodao, he is a compatriot after all. Ziweixing came to the United States to develop, and among the many big guys in Silicon Valley, he is the most trustworthy.

Zhou Buqi invited Yang Zhiyuan to have lunch at "Xifuju", a famous Chinese restaurant in Silicon Valley.

This place is actually very shabby, not as good as KFC.

But this place is very famous, including Steve Jobs and Zuckerberg who are regular visitors here.

"Jerry, it's been a long time!"

When I saw Yang Zhiyuan, a chubby uncle came over and spoke in Chinese.

"Unlucky this year." Yang Zhiyuan waved his hand, with a self-deprecating tone in his tone, and then smiled, "Lao Zhu, Wei Zai is great! I watched his movie during the summer vacation, and my wife and daughter liked it very much!"

When he mentioned his son, the fat boss narrowed his eyes with joy, "Thank you, thank you! I recently heard that he will cooperate with Paramount to make a movie."

Zhou Buqi was a little surprised when he came here for the first time.

Yang Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Lao Zhu is the boss here, and his second son Zhu Haowei is a great Hollywood director. This year he made the Disney movie "Dance My Life" and he is very talented."

Then, he introduced Lao Zhu, saying that this young man was a great big shot, the boss of Ziweixing Group, and the richest man in mainland China!

"The richest man?"

Boss Zhu was slightly startled and full of curiosity about the young man in front of him.

Zhou Buqi smiled and waved his hand, "The richest man in mainland China, hidden dragons and crouching tigers, can I be ranked? It's all randomly ranked by financial magazines."

After a brief exchange of greetings, the two sat down near the window.

I'm really not used to such a simple dining environment.

Let’s talk about Yahoo first.

Yang Zhiyuan sighed and seemed unwilling to talk more. He was no longer the chairman or CEO, and was completely marginalized.

For Zhou Buqi, it was a good thing. He smiled and said: "Weixing is actively promoting its globalization strategy. I have previously invited Mr. Nobuyuki Idei, the former chairman of Sony, to serve as an independent non-executive director. If you are interested,

I also want to invite you to come over and serve as an independent director."

"Nobuyuki Dei?"

"Well, he has a really wide network of contacts. At the beginning, when Ziweixing was doing business in Japan, there was a lot of resistance from all aspects. It spent a lot of money, but the effect was so-so. After successfully inviting Nobu Dei, from the top

Since the beginning of this month, Ziweixing's business in Japan has exploded. He has great authority and voice in Japan."

"Yikyak?" Yang Zhiyuan was a little surprised, "How many users do you have now?"

Zhou Buqi said: "There are 40 million registered users, right? I really don't know the details. It can't be compared with Yahoo Japan."

Yang Zhiyuan said: "That has been very successful. Is it the best social networking site?"

"Maybe, it's not important." Zhou Buqi thought for a moment and shook his head, "Mixi's user retention is quite strong, but time is on Yikyak's side."

"Do you want me to help you promote and supervise the development of Ziweixing in the US market?"

Yang Zhiyuan's mind gradually became sharper.

It feels fun!

The salary of an independent director is only US$100,000 a year, which is negligible to him. Not to mention the trouble, if something happens to Ziweixing, the independent directors will also bear joint liability.

However, the work of independent directors is a two-way street.

He wanted to help, and at the same time, he could make use of Ziweixing's resources to a certain extent and have the closest contact with Ziweixing's board of directors and senior management.

If Ziweixing successfully develops its business in the United States, it can provide feedback to him. With Ziweixing's resources, maybe he can regain control of Yahoo.

Zhou Buqi gave him time to think and avoided the problem, "By the way, a Chinese named Wu Jinghua recently shot and killed three bosses in the company. Do you know?"

Yang Zhiyuan nodded, "Well, I heard about it, because he was fired by the company."

Zhou Buqi sighed, "He is also a poor man. He failed to invest in real estate and incurred a heavy debt. His wife is unemployed and the children are only a few years old. He is under a lot of pressure. He is just waiting for the company to go public so that he can use the stocks in his hands.

I sold it to pay off the debt. I didn’t expect to be laid off.”

Yang Zhiyuan is Chinese and an ethnic minority, and the two investigators of the investigation company are white.

Have different opinions on the same things

Yang Zhiyuan was slightly silent and lowered his voice, "Not only that, I heard that he had a conflict with the Indian boss of the company, which led to his layoff."

Zhou Buqi opened his eyes wide, "Isn't it because of the economic crisis?"

Yang Zhiyuan said: "That's the reason, but there are other reasons. He is the technical director, and even if he is laid off, he cannot be laid off. I heard that many Indians have also lost their jobs recently. The Indian CEO plans to lay off

He replaced his compatriots."

Zhou Buqi frowned, "Indians are very united! This is their biggest advantage."

Chinese and Indians are the two major groups in Silicon Valley's technical professions. Their technical levels are similar, and even Chinese are higher. However, every time there is a good promotion opportunity, Indians are often better able to seize it.

One of the reasons is that Indians stick together.

For example, in later generations, after Google appointed an Indian as CEO, this guy quickly reorganized the board of directors and recruited 4 Indians to the board of directors; for example, after Microsoft appointed an Indian as CEO, this guy began to appoint Indians on a large scale.

As senior executives, Shen Xiangyang and Lu Qi also left Microsoft at that time.

Yang Zhiyuan has lived in the United States for so many years and has a deeper understanding of this issue. "Holding together is only one aspect and has to do with national strength."

"Um?"

"You may not know it well when you are young. 15 or 20 years ago, there was a popular saying overseas, 'Chinese can be successful anywhere except their mother country.' This was both a kind of praise and a kind of sadness. At that time,

There are many Chinese executives in Silicon Valley, and Indians are not even included."

Zhou Buqi understood what he meant, "The mainland has risen, so Chinese people can't get positions?"

"At least that's the case in Silicon Valley." Yang Zhiyuan nodded, "The current situation is already obvious. Large companies prefer to use Indians. In addition to the comparison between professional capabilities and general capabilities, a very important reason is that India is a backward country.

The country has developed and become better and better. Especially in the Internet field, it is not much worse than Silicon Valley."

Zhou Buqi is also the boss and immediately understood the logic behind this.

India is so bad.

The local IT level is far from meeting the requirements of these Indian IT elites. It is impossible for them to go back and there is no retreat. No retreat means no choice, which means absolute loyalty.

The Chinese are different.

During the period of reform and opening up, the Chinese had no retreat, so they were able to be reused and were very powerful in Silicon Valley. But now that the mother country has become stronger, they have a retreat.

Even computer scientists like Academician Yao Qizhi who won the Turing Award in the United States have returned to China.

Zhou Buqi believed deeply, "Well, that's the truth. The stronger the home country, the weaker it will be abroad. Japanese companies are doing so well, and I don't see any Japanese serving as senior executives in foreign companies. They all return to their own country.

We have gone. Our country is good enough, so who wants to go abroad?"

Yang Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Yes, from the mainland's perspective, this situation is good. The Chinese cannot climb up in Silicon Valley, and those who are capable choose to return to China. In recent years, India's elites have continued to bring more

Indian elites were brought to the United States from India. The Indian Institute of Technology enjoys the best educational resources and the largest education budget in India, and the talents they trained have come to the United States. However, the Chinese elites are gradually returning to China. For your mainland

, this is a good phenomenon.”

This wave of analysis put Zhou Buqi in a good mood.

It is not that Chinese executives are being squeezed out, but that the mother country has become stronger, giving them a passive effect of having one more choice.

Zhou Buqi said: "There are always some Chinese who have stable families in the United States and are accustomed to the environment and lifestyle here. It is impossible for them to go back. From this perspective, it is still very important to improve the treatment of Chinese in Silicon Valley.

Necessary. This is the first thing to do when Ziweixing first arrives!”

"Um?"

Yang Zhiyuan felt that this guy was going to cause trouble.

Zhou Buqi sighed, "Wu Jinghua is definitely wrong to shoot. If it is wrong, it is wrong. However, the capital structure of the United States is too abnormal and unfriendly to the middle class. Under the financial tsunami, people like Wu Jinghua

For a middle-class family, the blows they receive are often fatal. Wu Jinghua made a mistake, but his wife and children are innocent. I heard that they can't even afford legal fees. We are all compatriots, so we need help."

Yang Zhiyuan is not a novice.

Upon hearing this, I understood what Boss Zhou was thinking.

I don't think he is kind.

It is simply a manifestation of capitalist charity to its fullest.

Digesting other people's pain to enhance your own halo, like a professional politician.

Taking advantage of this incident, a large-scale sponsorship was launched to help the Wu family tide over the difficulties, and they could even promise to provide Mrs. Wu with a job and pay for their children's future education... In this way, Ziweixing's reputation grew.

Many Chinese people have been laid off, but they don't have the same sense of teamwork as Indians. After being laid off, they have to work hard to find a new job.
