Chapter 1080 Progressive Self-Recommendation
"Knock knock," someone knocked on the door, "Come in," Feng Yiping was lying on the sofa in the study, too lazy to raise his head, "Just put it on the table,"
"Uncle," "Are you really still working?" Two voices rang at the same time.
"Meyer?" Feng Yiping sat up immediately, and did not forget to straighten his nightgown. Wenhua, just took the documents, why did he even take the person back?
However, looking at his nephew's helpless face, he realized that it was not his fault. How could he stop Mayer?
"Wenhua, take Miss Mayer to the living room, I'll be down soon,"
"It's nice here," Mayer put his bag on the table, took off his windbreaker and handed it to Wenhua, shook his hair, and wore a short red evening dress, sitting on the swivel chair, instantly lighting up this slightly cold winter night.
"Wait a minute," Feng Yiping was ready to change clothes first. It was not a good idea to meet a female guest in just a nightgown.
"This is what Buchanan and Mike asked me to bring to you," Mayer took the file bag from Wenhua, stopped him, and motioned Wenhua to go out. He really went out obediently.
This nephew is really honest!
In fact, it is not an important document, but the progress of the few things mentioned is not very smooth.
After the smooth promotion of NEXTDOOR in Canada, it has now fallen into stagnation.
There are many reasons, the most important one is the point analyzed before. Objectively, the anti-terrorism situation in Canada is not as severe as that in the United States. The security that is the main focus in the United States is not very attractive in Canada.
They have adjusted the focus of publicity and highlighted the social function of the website, but this requires a process. Buchanan has come up with several plans, one of which is to find a way to make becoming a registered user of NEXTDOOR a fashion.
To this end, he is actively working in the celebrity circle in Toronto.
Tesla's progress is also not smooth.
Although the most important battery sector is going smoothly, the battery management control system is about to complete the first version, that is, the engineering test version, and is about to enter the stability and durability test. The formulation of specific process requirements has been put on the agenda.
However, the other sectors are still in the stage of exploration, and some are even still at the stage of theoretical discussion. All roads lead to Rome, which is sometimes not a good thing. It is a headache to determine which road is the best and which direction to work towards in the end.
Musk stayed in the company for a few days and affirmed the work of the battery sector, but he was worried that because Feng Yiping insisted on not using traditional gearboxes, the next step, the electric motor that converts electrical energy into kinetic energy, should be one of the biggest obstacles on the road.
How to achieve small size, high power, high efficiency, that is, high power density, requires solving many problems such as materials, processing technology, and cooling during operation. The most important thing is that, under the premise of achieving these goals, low-cost mass production... There will be many challenges.
So, from this perspective, the power sector is actually at most one-third completed.
Fortunately, Feng Yiping had already predicted this. In history, Tesla took more than ten years to develop revolutionary products. Feng Yiping did not expect to get results in one or two years. Of course, he certainly could not wait for more than ten years, because from the beginning, it was not a small fight. He planned to have a rough product within five years.
The good news is that Coin Star and Redbox are progressing very smoothly. The number of devices is growing, and the average sales of each device is also increasing, which is a double benefit.
This leads to a bad result. Mike said a little gloatingly that Hastings of Netflix originally had a bad personality, and now his temper is getting worse and worse - well, let me add that the founders of these successful high-tech companies in Silicon Valley are really rare with good tempers.
No, after contacting these successful business leaders in the United States, Feng Yiping found that those from Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google... all seem to have bad tempers, at least not as good as himself. Although he has not contacted many domestic ones, he thinks they will not be much better.
This may be the characteristics of successful people? Just like those celebrities who have become big names, none of them are easy to deal with?
However, although the pressure is getting bigger and bigger, and it seems that Feng Yiping has less and less time to confront him, Hastings still does not change his original intention. Mike said that he is raising funds from multiple sources recently. Although no announcement has been made, it is believed that the purpose of his recent financing measures should be to increase holdings.
This is really a very reliable move. Regardless of whether it will be acquired by Feng Yiping in the future, Hastings's increase in Netflix shares at this time is a good choice.
Even if this merger and acquisition is unsuccessful due to his counterattack, as long as the information of the acquisition is announced, Netflix's stock price will undoubtedly rise, and more holdings mean more profits.
If he can't stop Feng Yiping's acquisition, then he will have more qualifications and confidence to negotiate.
So, it seems unrealistic to expect Netflix to come to his bowl obediently.
It seems that this Hastings needs to be dealt with with some thought.
"What's wrong, not going well?" Mayer also sat on the sofa, close to him, soft and gentle, warm and fragrant.
"It's a bit challenging," Feng Yiping said. He saw the black stockings on her thighs and covered them with a thin blanket. "It's a bit cold,"
"The heating is quite sufficient," Mayer rolled up the blanket and threw it on the low cabinet in front of the window. He also crossed his legs and dangled them in front of Feng Yiping's eyes intentionally or unintentionally. From time to time, he reached out to straighten his stockings. .
Is she sorting it out or attracting people to see it?
Men are all visual creatures, and Feng Yiping is no exception. I guess she wouldn't mind, so he took a few generous glances. "The nail polish is good," he boasted casually.
"Really? I applied it myself," Mayer stretched out one foot in front of Feng Yiping's eyes, "It's not evenly applied."
Feng Yiping's lower abdomen felt a little hot and his breathing became a little faster.
At this moment, what is more attractive than her blue nail polish is naturally... You know, she is wearing a short evening dress. The two of them are sitting on the same sofa with one foot raised like this. There are many places, especially some key places, that are completely undefended against Feng Yiping.
Feng Yiping, a relatively polite gentleman, only glanced at it with the corner of his eye. Well, T-back. Speaking of which, you can only wear this when wearing an evening dress. It is mysterious purple and has lace. Fortunately, European and American celebrities have the habit of trimming their hair. ..., well, my breath is so hot, okay, I can't look at it anymore, and I can't think about it anymore..., he immediately put the file bag on his lap.
There is nothing I can do, my body is too good and my anger is too strong.
The most important thing to do at this time is to leave this sofa immediately. However, it is difficult for him to do so now. It is not that he is reluctant to leave, really, it is not that he is reluctant to leave. The main thing is to stand up in his current state, which is very Very inappropriate.
"I didn't expect you to have such a hobby," he said casually.
What should I think about to calm myself down? Furong, Sister Feng, Ruhua, ugh, so disgusting.
"Why, in your mind, I can't have such a hobby? Can't I love life?" How could some of Feng Yiping's changes escape Mayer's eyes.
She put her leg on the sofa, crossed her other leg, put her hands on the back of the sofa, sat sideways, and asked Feng Yiping with a smile.
"That's not what I meant. You are so busy at work," Feng Yiping tried not to look at her.
"There are some things that no matter how busy you are, you have to find time to do them," she said, and lightly touched the outside of Feng Yiping's thighs with her toes a few times.
Feng Yiping thought about the efforts of those three people in his heart, and immediately declared failure.
Fortunately, Mayer changed the subject next, "Are you satisfied with the work of Buchanan and Mike?"
Don't tell me, this is really useful, Feng Yiping immediately calmed down a little.
I am indeed a hard worker. When I mention work, my attention immediately becomes focused. When did this bad habit form? Can't you just have a little more fun?
"I'm still relatively satisfied," he said.
"But, I heard Buchanan is interested in returning to politics?" Mayer asked.
"Yes, he and I already have a plan about this," Feng Yiping said.
He respects Buchanan's choice, but with a talent like his, it's natural not to let him go. Even if he's not in the company, he must be well retained. He happens to be in the United States and now has very good resources.
Buchanan was relatively satisfied with his arrangement because he believed in Feng Yiping's vision, and Feng Yiping solemnly promised him that after more than two years, or at most three years, if he was still not satisfied with the arrangement, then , he can completely do what he wants and will also receive Feng Yiping's full support.
"What about the replacement?"
"I have interviewed several people, but so far I have not found the most suitable candidate," Feng Yiping said.
"Well, what do you think of me?" Mayer said suddenly.
"You," Feng Yiping stopped.
"Yes, I," Mayer finally retracted her legs and sat upright for a few minutes, "I am very optimistic about the prospects of NEXTDOOR, and I have been paying close attention to the changes in NEXTDOOR in the past few years. I feel that I can keep up. You have the pace and confidence to do the job of NEXTDOOR,"
"Except for not having the political resources, I have an advantage over Buchanan in every other way,"
That's the thing about Americans, they go to great lengths to market themselves and they take advantage of every opportunity.
"Although NEXTDOOR is going in a different direction than Google, I increasingly feel that with the advancement of software and hardware, social networking will be a very broad and critical field in the future,"
Sure enough, no one can succeed, and Mayer can clearly realize this now, which shows her level.
"Of course, there is another very important point. I think it will be very easy to work under you,"
"What do you think of my proposal?"
Needless to say, Feng Yiping really thought this proposal was quite good.
Although Mayer failed to save Yahoo in the end, it can be said that when she took over Yahoo in 2012, Yahoo was already in trouble. During the thirty months that Carol Bartz was at the helm of Yahoo, she made many Many fatal decisions profoundly affected Yahoo's subsequent fate.
For example, she sold Yahoo's search business to Microsoft and had bad relations with partners in China and Japan... The day she was fired, Yahoo's stock price rose in response, which is the best explanation.
It should be said that some of Mayer's moves at Yahoo since 2013 were really remarkable. However, at that time, the competitors were really too powerful, and she was ultimately helpless.
More importantly, she was able to resolutely give up her lucrative job at Google and board the broken ship of Yahoo, which fully demonstrated the toughness and strength of her character.
The problem now is that Mayer currently has no experience in leading a company.
However, this does not seem to be a problem. She is about the same age as Jin Ling. The scale and challenges of the Jiamei project led by Jin Ling before are not as good as those of the project team led by Mayer now.
Moreover, Jin Ling's time at Jiamei was very short, and her work experience was not successful. She saw the problem under the constraints everywhere, but she was unable to solve it in the end.
But Jin Ling can now lead the entire group to move forward steadily. If Mayer is given the opportunity to lead a company, she will be able to do it.
"I am personally very interested in your proposal," Feng Yiping said, "and I believe you have such ability,"
"However, I still need time to think about it. In addition, since you have this idea, we have to convince Page and Brin,"
Mayer heard Feng Yiping's meaning clearly, and it was actually certain, "You will not be able to do Page's work?" she said.
"Google's future and development have become clear. We can be sure that you will have a good development in Google, but NEXTDOOR is still in its early stages of development. There is still a lot of work to be done in the future. So, this is a major issue related to your career prospects. I have to consider it carefully."
"I understand what you mean," Mayer was very happy after hearing Feng Yiping's words. Although Feng Yiping said that he was considering her career prospects, this was definitely polite to a certain extent, but she liked to hear such polite words.
"Hey," she suddenly nodded at Feng Yiping with her chin.
Feng Yiping looked down and saw that his nightgown was half open, and the file bag that protected the key parts was unconsciously moved away while he was talking.
His old face flushed, "I'm sorry," and he went back to the room to change clothes.
"I like it," with these words, a warm body sat on him.
Meyer sat on Feng Yiping's thighs, brushed his hair with her hands, put her hands around his neck, and leaned forward with her red lips, "Then I think you won't refuse this request now!"
ps: I have created a group, 454, 231, 228, welcome everyone to come, give more valuable suggestions, and look forward to the opportunity to communicate with you!
