The news that Ziweixing raised US$1.5 billion was officially announced to the whole society.

For a time, the whole country was hotly debated.

Almost all major online media were reporting on this incident. The first news item on campus was "Xiumei.com raises 12 billion yuan in financing." The number of reads in the morning exceeded 2 million.

Dozens of media outlets came to visit, wanting to interview the incident.

Ziweixing arranged for He Yang, Guo Dan, and Ji Zian to be responsible for receiving media friends and accepting some relevant interviews.

As for Boss Zhou...

He is taking an exam in the classroom.

It's the end of another semester.

The phone in his pocket was vibrating constantly. Zhou Buqi didn't pay too much attention and answered the paper quickly. He got the paper two days ago and asked his secretary to prepare the answers.

This time he came here not to answer questions, but to fill in the answers. He wrote down everything that should be noted. It only took 15 minutes for Zhou Buqi to get up. Under everyone's surprised eyes, he wanted to hand over the papers and leave.

But I didn't expect that the invigilator was very responsible.

No submission allowed!

Ask him to take the exam seriously and go back to check carefully.

Then all candidates were asked not to submit papers within 1 hour.

But Zhou Buqi is very busy today.

He also needs to go to the principal to finalize the 50 million donation, sign and deposit it, and confirm the person in charge of the relevant laboratory.

What Ziweixing meant was for Cheng Binghao to come to Beike to be a visiting professor, doctoral supervisor, and also the director of the Android Language Laboratory.

But Cheng Binghao has a technical secondary school degree, so asking him to be a doctoral supervisor may not be very popular. Although such external doctoral supervisors often have a nominal name and do not need to teach, the name does not sound good.

Some top leaders of state-owned enterprises, even if they have graduated from elementary school, can go to universities to become doctoral supervisors and can build relationships to become academicians with a simple package. That is because the level is too high. Private enterprises have no privileges in this regard and must respect the basic rules of the school.

Zhou Buqi planned to go over to discuss it.

Cheng Binghao couldn't do it, so Xu Liangjie was asked to do it.

Ziweixing has many skilled people, but most of them are too young, in their twenties and thirties. Their skills are adequate, but their qualifications are not. When you go to a university to do a laboratory, you have to deal with school leaders and many senior professors.

It's definitely not possible if you're too young.

In fact, it has something to do with the school.

The person in charge of the laboratory that Ziweixing cooperates with Tsinghua is a young doctoral supervisor and associate professor from Tsinghua, who is only 33 years old this year. Moreover, Tsinghua has also contributed 50 million, which is more reassuring. Ziweixing is paying for Beike here, so you can’t

Let them take care of it themselves.

In essence, this is not a donation event, but a business cooperation.

Zhou Buqi took the test paper and explained it for a long time, but the invigilator refused. He had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and call the principal. When the teacher saw the mobile phone, his eyes widened and he confiscated the mobile phone.

"Teacher, the call is connected! It's connected!"

"Turn it off...huh?"

The invigilator lowered his head and glanced at the phone screen, which showed Principal Chen Tongfang.

Principal? Top leader?

He couldn't help but be stunned, with a suspicious look on his face.

Zhou Buqi had no choice but to say: "Teacher, can I say a few words first? This is the principal, really the principal."

The invigilator had seen many bastard students and thought it was a prank he had done by changing his name. He didn't believe it at all, but a message came from his cell phone: "Mr. Zhou, I'm in the office, have you come over?"... This voice sounded like the principal's.

Very similar.

Zhou Buqi quickly lowered his head, lowered his voice, and said quickly: "Principal, I'm in the examination room. I just handed in the paper. I'll be there right now."

"Okay, the administration building, do you know where it is?"

"Yes, I know, I am also a student of Beike."

The call ended in a few words.

The invigilator's eyes changed. He stared at the name on the test paper and said in shock: "Are you Zhou Buqi?"

"right."

"That Zhou Buqi of the school network?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Yes."

The invigilator twitched the corner of his mouth, and then he couldn't say anything. He quickly said: "If you have something to do, please leave quickly. Don't delay."

$1.5 billion in financing!

Such big news has spread a long time ago.

On the Beida campus, this has become the pride of everyone. To this day, there is a studio on the campus network next to the University Student Activity Center, which provides part-time jobs for some current students.

I didn't expect this man to be so young!

He is no different from other students. Well, he has a really good temper.

After coming out of the examination room, Zhou Buqi felt that it was not a good feeling, as if he was showing off. With hundreds of students in the examination room, he stood out and even broke the rules of the examination room.

There will be no more exams in the future. You can just answer the questions in private and submit them.

Looking at my phone again, I saw more than 50 text messages.

Most of them are colleagues in the industry, including Lei Jun, Li Yanhong, Ding Sanshi, Li Guoqing, Liu Qiangdong, Shi Yuzhu, etc. They all have congratulatory messages.

Congratulations to Ziweixing for completing its Series A financing.

It can be seen that Zhou Buqi's low-key, pragmatic, humble and friendly style has formed a good reputation in the industry in recent years.

Many text messages are sent by competitors.

Among these text messages, two text messages are very interesting.

One is Huayi's Mr. Wang: "It's amazing to raise US$1.5 billion. Call some sisters someday and let's get together and celebrate."

The second post is from Penguin’s Xiao Ma: “Congratulations on the successful Series A. If you have something to do, let’s chat when you have time.”

Zhou Buqi couldn't help but be a little curious.

What's there to talk about?

The two companies are in a serious competitive relationship. Friends.com and QQ Space are fighting! Moreover, Ziweixing has just sold a wave of open platforms, which cost them 300 million yuan.

Isn't it a matter of poaching?

Wang Haiyang, the human resources director of Ziweixing, personally went south to meet Zhang Xiaolong in Yangcheng.

There is nothing to say.

There is no negotiation for poaching you!

…

As Zhou Buqi guessed, the school intended to make Xu Liangjie the director of the laboratory and hire him as a doctoral supervisor and visiting professor.

Lao Xu’s qualifications are profound.

He was a computer prodigy in his early years. Later he studied abroad, received a Ph.D. from the Ivy League, and participated in Pentagon projects. He was one of the initiators of Internet search technology.

The skills, reputation, and qualifications are all sufficient.

When he returned to the company in the afternoon, Zhou Buqi called Xu Liangjie over and wanted to talk to him about the matter.

Now that I am the laboratory director at Beike, it is better to go to Tsinghua's laboratory and also serve as a general consultant. After all, these two laboratories are to train talents for Ziweixing. It will be more in line with Ziweixing's goals if he takes charge of the project direction.

Benefit.

This is just a small matter, Xu Liangjie has no objection.

But on another matter, he put forward a different view.

"Guo Pengfei said, do you want to boycott RSS?"

"right."

"Why?"

"Huh?" Zhou Buqi gave him a strange look, "What a bastard of this technology. You just go to other people's websites and steal things. To put it seriously, it's illegal profit, which is almost the same as piracy."

Xu Liangjie was silent for a moment, "Technology is a product of the development of the times, and it cannot be blocked. Traditional record companies have spent how much money they have spent in recent years to resist the spread of MP3 on the Internet, but is this useful? This is the general trend. Traditional records

Everything is over."

"Well……"

"RSS reading is a big trend. It came from the United States and is currently the hottest technology trend. Information from several websites can be aggregated through an RSS website. Users only need to log in to one website.

You can complete the tasks of logging into more than a dozen websites. This greatly saves users’ time and improves efficiency.”

"You actually support it?"

"Why not support it? This is innovation, a new form of innovation in Internet technology." Xu Liangjie was a little puzzled. In his opinion, Boss Zhou's thinking pattern should not be so low. "In many traditional industries, vested interests will
