The PayPal gang is the group of people who founded PayPal back then, from the founder to the CEO to the vice president to the director, and even product managers and ordinary engineers... This group of people broke out with amazing abilities and founded dozens of technology companies.

companies and many venture capital funds.

For example, Facebook was the first investment made by this gang. For example, YouTube was created by Chen Shijun, a fringe member of this gang. The more famous ones are LinkedIn and Tesla.

Zhou Buqi had invested in YouTube in the early days, so he knew Chen Shijun and contacted him to ask about Musk.

But Chen Shijun has quit Silicon Valley and returned to Treasure Island.

Moreover, he is just a fringe kid who cannot reach Musk's level. He can reach it but he doesn't want to, because Musk is a weirdo and no one wants to be friends with him.

This is not surprising, genius is a disease.

People like Jobs, Bill Gates, and Zuckerberg are all the same.

Fortunately, Chen Shijun gave Zhou Buqi a suggestion. If it doesn't work, go to Hollywood. Musk is a workaholic. When he finally got some rest, he also went to Hollywood to pick up female stars.

Zhou Buqi thought this proposal was absurd.

Going to Hollywood?

Wasn’t that caused by Musk?

Zhou Buqi has been hesitating. If he lacks opportunities again, he might really devote himself to his career and go to Hollywood. Men who have prostituted together are true brothers. They will fight for their careers!

Fortunately, the opportunity came now. I met David Sachs, an important figure in the Paypal gang in the Coupa Cafe. He once served as Paypal's coo and CEO and was a core figure.

He can definitely talk to Musk.

As long as he gets Musk and Tesla... no matter how generously Zhou Buqi donates to contribute to the whole society at home, he will still move towards becoming the world's richest man.

After Yang Zhiyuan's introduction, David Sachs happily shook hands with Zhou Buqi, "Mr. Zhou, did you vote for Twitter?"

Zhou Buqi was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes."

"Very good!"

David Sachs looked so excited that the man with curly hair and glasses opposite him looked stiff.

Zhou Buqi is a bit baffled.

David Sacks explained that after he left PayPal, he founded a website called Geni, which is a genealogy website. Users upload their personal information to the Internet, and the website will help find their kin through matching.

family.

But this is too complicated to do.

I have been doing this for more than two years, but the effect is very limited.

He didn't want to do it.

I started a new business with a few people and built another website - yammer.

This is a social networking website, simply put, it is the corporate version of Twitter.

Zhou Buqi suddenly realized this.

No wonder this guy was so excited when he heard that he was an early investor in Twitter. It turned out that his entrepreneurial direction was the enterprise version of Twitter. The guy who came with him must be an investor, and he looked unhappy.

However, Zhou Buqi was also curious, "Enterprise version of Twitter? David, can you tell us in detail?"

David Sachs smiled and said: "It is mainly for enterprises, divided into public platforms and internal platforms. If you send a message on the public platform, everyone can see it. If you send a message on the internal platform, only insiders can see it.

If your company has joined Yammer, if there is a slogan, it can be sent out through the public platform; if it is an internal management requirement, it can be sent out on the internal platform, and only company insiders can see it. All employees of the company are on this internal platform.

Online, you can pay attention to your superiors, colleagues and company trends online for the first time.”

Zhou Buqi understood immediately, "This internal platform is an intranet."

David Sachs smiled and said: "Yes, intranet. But running an intranet is very complicated. Ziweixing is a professional Internet company, so there is no problem. If it is a company like Pfizer or Coca-Cola, there is no need to have a dedicated digital department

Now, you can use Yammer directly to open an internal enterprise platform."

Zhou Buqi thinks this idea is very good and amazing. He has never thought of it, and he has never even heard anyone mention it in China.

It is indeed Silicon Valley, a world of creativity.

An intranet is necessary for any enterprise.

Even a certain public institution and government department.

Information can be transmitted online on your own platform, which is fast, convenient and efficient.

Every government department, public institution and enterprise has to build and operate its own intranet, which is too wasteful. Especially small and medium-sized enterprises, they simply do not have that much financial, material and manpower.

If there is a platform that can be built, all enterprises, universities, institutions, and government agencies can open their own internal LAN services on this platform... Just like building a group in QQ, it is building an intranet on the platform

, it can be done through very simple operations.

That really helped them solve a huge problem!

David Sachs started his business in June and launched the website in August.

The economy was very bad at that time, but the financial tsunami had not yet broken out.

He is in no hurry to find financing.

He is a rich man himself.

But now it's no longer possible. He also ran into trouble after the financial tsunami and had to quickly find funds to enter the market to finance the website. Seeing Zhou Buqi was like grabbing a life-saving straw.

But the investor who came with him was very unhappy and asked with a stern face: "Sachs, is this your attitude?"

"roll!"

David Sacks looked indifferent and uttered two words that sounded like national curses.

Zhou Buqi was shocked.

The investor with curly hair and glasses seemed not to have expected it, and couldn't believe his ears, "You...what did you say?"

David Sacks said impatiently: "I tell you to get out! Can't you hear me? Get out! This is Silicon Valley, take your stinky money and get out! Seeing your noodle hair makes me sick!"

Zhou Buqi and Yang Zhiyuan looked at each other in disbelief.

Some white geniuses are really arrogant and conceited.

Can a person like this still start a business?

Well……

Well, he is really an entrepreneur.

When facing geniuses, we really can't hold ourselves to ordinary people's standards.

The key is, where does this guy get his confidence?

How can he be sure that he can convince Zhou Buqi to invest in his project? What if it fails and the investors here are offended again?

After sending away the outsiders, David Sacks started showing off enthusiastically, saying: "The internal platform can be used as the company's intranet, and the public platform is the company's external communication position. It can even be connected with Facebook and Twitter, and directly connect Yammer

Corporate public information on the website is synchronized as soon as possible, allowing more people to pay attention.”

Zhou Buqi acted relatively calmly, "Sounds good."

In fact, his heart was already raging.

It feels like I have seized another opportunity!

Such a website is very much needed in the country!

Cha Cha Ziweixing also needs it very much!

At present, there is a craze for domestically produced office software in China, but Ziweixing does not make office software. What it makes is "Dida", which crosses the track, and is enterprise collaborative office software related to cloud technology.

Through Dida, employees of the company can chat with each other, conduct video conferences, group discussions, and most importantly, document office. This is the biggest product feature of Dida, which can greatly optimize work processes and improve work efficiency.

But in this process, I always felt that something was missing.

Found it now.

Intranet!

The internal digital office of Ziweixing mainly consists of four major sections: "Intranet Dida OfficeERP Software".

Office, I don’t have enough technical strength, so I can only choose Microsoft.

ERP software, that is, personnel office software, financial office software, etc., are all very low-end and are produced casually. The popularity of localization is very high.

The tick already exists.

The only problem is the intranet.

Ziweixing can build its own intranet, but what about others? What about non-tech companies, small and medium-sized enterprises, public institutions and government agencies?

Such an enterprise version of Twitter is just what is needed!

Especially in state-owned enterprises and government agencies.

When civil servants work digitally, it is really difficult for them to use Dida. For them, this function is a bit too complicated and they don't know how to use it. Even if young people can use it, leaders don't know how to use it.

Generally, it is enough to use QQ or Helo. You can send messages and have video conversations, which is enough.

But the intranet is very important.
