Chapter 1124 Gap

Feng Yiping was not surprised to see Amelia here. He knew that Amelia and several other employees who were familiar with mergers and acquisitions were now sent to assist Merbach in dealing with cooperation with McDonald's.

Of course, they are also responsible for understanding Coin Star in depth.

Coin Star has also joined Jiaqiang for less than a quarter. Except for the board of directors, the other high-level structures have not changed yet. Of course, Feng Yiping believes in Merback very much and is very attached to him. Judging from the current results, the two of them have The cooperation is very tacit and the effect is very good.

However, necessary changes must still be made, such as adding a vice president or adjusting several executives in key positions.

Although this objectively achieves the purpose of checks and balances, this is really not meant to check and balance Merback and the current management. This is just a routine practice. Work is work. Merback and the others can and should understand.

"Hello Amelia, how is your work?" Feng Yiping greeted her with a calm smile.

He tried not to think about that night in Chicago when he was negotiating with McDonald's.

"It went very well and Merback is a good boss,"

“Thank you Millie, you’re a great, great employee too,” Merback said.

This was originally a normal conversation, a very common greeting, but when she saw this beautiful woman with a hot body and a hot personality who walked in, Zheng Jiayi always felt that something was wrong.

She looked at Merback and found that the boss's eyes were a little wandering. He would always avoid Feng Yiping and Amelia. When she looked again, Amelia had already walked to Feng Yiping's desk, and she was not doing well. Stand with your hands on the table and bend over to talk to him.

At first she thought it was the passion of girls who grew up overseas, but when she took a closer look, something seemed wrong?

Emilia's clothes and posture, as well as the slightly unnatural and unconscious leaning back posture on Feng Yiping's face, how come it looks like one is attacking and the other is hiding?

They knew each other before, right?

"Feng, how many days will you stay in Seattle this time? I just received an email from Cummins, saying that there is a project in Silicon Valley that requires me to participate. Can we go back to Silicon Valley together?"

"I know that job is in great need of professionals like you, but I'm sorry, we have already planned our itinerary. After Seattle, we are going to Vancouver,"

"Oh," Amelia looked a little disappointed, and she didn't hide her disappointment at all, "So, do you want to reward us hard-working employees tonight?"

"It should be, but it really can't be done tonight. I have already made plans tonight, mainly to have dinner with my family. Remember first, there will be more opportunities in the future."

"What about tomorrow?" Amelia asked persistently.

"tomorrow,……,"

Before Feng Yiping could resist, Zheng Jiayi patted Amelia and said, "Milly, my luggage is still downstairs in the company. Can you take me back to the apartment first?"

Merbach finally interjected, "Amelia, please take Jessica back to the apartment first," he looked at his watch, "You won't come to work today, and take Jessica to familiarize herself with the environment around the apartment."

Zheng Jiayi took Amelia's arm and walked out very familiarly, "Milly, where did your hair get done? It's so beautiful! Can you take me there?"

"Can you take me around the markets and restaurants that you think are good around the apartment? I have a bad sense of direction. Also, I heard that there are a lot of delicious coffees here. Do you have any recommendations?… …,”

Emilia, who was obviously taller than her, was actually pulled out of the office by her.

Feng Yiping couldn't help but stare at their backs for a while. By the way, when did Zheng Jiayi become so enthusiastic in front of unfamiliar people? Could it be that after arriving in the United States, she awakened another personality?

Or is it that Amelia is really too charming, suitable for both men and women, so that Zheng Jiayi fell in love with her as soon as she saw her?

Therefore, although this classmate Feng Yiping has been born in two generations, he is still very young and immature in some things.

He really couldn't guess what a girl was thinking.

…………

"Hey, everyone has left," Merbach greeted him, "You really don't want to go to Starbucks?"

"Old Mo, you are not kind," Feng Yiping said.

This guy and Buchanan went to Chicago with him, so they knew that the relationship between Amelia and him could be said to be slightly different from ordinary friends and work partners.

Just now, when Emilia was pressing closer and closer, he remained silent and did not help his boss or his brothers. This was truly disloyal and unjust.

"What's wrong?" Merback looked extremely innocent.

Feng Yiping shook his head. This is a veteran of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. "You violated the good tradition that men have to help each other in certain things."

"Hehe," Merbach laughed, "Can't you handle this little thing well?"

Feng Yiping was too lazy to argue with him, "By the way, when you go to Starbucks, help me make an appointment with Drucker in private. In the past few days, such as tomorrow night, will he be free to have dinner with me?"

"Privately?" Merbach was confused.

"Starbucks has many aspects that we can learn from," Feng Yiping said, "especially in terms of motivating employees. I think it is necessary to introduce such a professional talent."

"You prefer Drucker? This is a good candidate, but Feng, I don't think it's an easy thing," he said, "Objectively speaking, the gap between us and Starbucks is still very large,"

This is of course the truth. Starbucks is already a well-known fast-moving consumer goods giant in the world and one of the world's top 500 companies.

If we compare personal wealth, Feng Yiping is not inferior to Howard Schultz, the owner of Starbucks, but if we compare companies, the overall strength of Gain Capital is still far behind Starbucks.

It is human nature to move upwards. Executives like Drucker who have become vice presidents usually will not switch to companies with weaker strength than the current company they are working for.

"The most important thing is that for people like Drucker, they may not consider working overseas now,"

This is also true.

Although Americans value family very much, for many ordinary Americans, this emphasis can sometimes only stay in their hearts.

Their income and economic strength do not support them to choose to work close to home. For the quality of life of their families, some can only choose companies with a lot of business trips, or they will also choose to work overseas.

But this problem does not exist for executives at Drucker's level. He is a high-income earner. For him, money is not the key factor when they make some important decisions.

Merbak is right. Drucker's first consideration may be family.

"Yes, these are very realistic problems," Feng Yiping leaned back on the chair with his hands on his head, looking at the lake and snow-capped mountains in the distance, "Try your best. Of course, I have a second-hand preparation,"

…………

My parents and their entourage, led by two employees of Coin Star, visited the Boeing Everett Factory, 48 kilometers north of Seattle.

They wanted to visit the aircraft factory, not because they were rare in aircraft, as they already had their own aircraft, but because they were rare in high technology.

How are such expensive and advanced things like aircraft produced?

Therefore, most visitors are not very interested in the exhibition hall that they are most interested in. They can enter the cockpit of the real aircraft whenever they want. The parts such as the cockpit and cabin displayed here are not attractive to them.

This is the first industrial enterprise they visited after arriving in the United States. The deepest impression is that it is big!

This park, which covers an area of ​​more than 6,000 mu, explained to them what big industry is.

Not to mention the planes, trains and trucks that transport various parts, and the planes that are parked in the open air pre-flight area and are about to be delivered, the assembly workshop covering nearly 600 mu completely overturned their impression of the factory. Is this a workshop? Such a large workshop?

For a long time, Feng Zhenchang, who has been bathed in the glory of his son's success, has seen the gap between his family and the world very directly.

Not to mention the value of the products produced, the area of ​​his own factory and all the factory workshops across the country combined is not as big as this workshop.

Huang Chengzhong was also eye-opening. The data that he was proud of was really not worth mentioning here. Here, an airplane is comparable to the industrial output value of the town in one year.

What is industry? This is industry!

But Mei Qiuping's perspective is always different from everyone else. She is naturally shocked, but she is concerned about another issue.

"Jingping, are you saying that more than 100,000 people come here to visit every year?"

"Yes," Huang Jingping also found everything in front of her quite novel, "More than 10,000 people come to make appointments to visit every month,"

"20 US dollars per person, even if 10,000 people come a month, the ticket sales can be at least 2.4 million US dollars a year, isn't that 20 million RMB?"

"More than that," Huang Jingping said as she looked at Amanda holding an airplane model in one hand and a plush toy in the other, "I'm afraid that people who come here will not return empty-handed. Some people spend more than ten times the ticket price on souvenirs,"

"Oh, yes, I forgot this, these are also so expensive," she looked at the two things in her granddaughter's hand and the full gift bag over there, "Yiping should learn well,"

This is a rare admission that her son is not as good as others.

What's more depressing happened on the way back to the city. When Huang Jingping sorted out the souvenirs that she spent more than two hundred dollars to buy this time and prepared to bring to Feng Yiping's cousins ​​in China, she found very funny that more than 90% of this pile of things were made in China.

She then remembered that Feng Yiping had said how he had struggled to pick out some authentic American souvenirs from those souvenirs when he first came to the United States.

…………

"Thank you, Haas. I personally thank you for your excellent work," Feng Yiping stood up and shook hands with Haas, the company's financial director.

"This is what I should do," Haas, who was slightly taller than Feng Yiping, bent down slightly and shook Feng Yiping's hands respectfully with both hands, while carefully observing the expression on his face.

Unfortunately, just like during the reporting process, Feng Yiping was always so calm that it was hard to tell whether he was satisfied or not.

I wonder if James, who reported before me, satisfied the boss? It's better not to. If he satisfied the boss, it would be more dangerous for me.

Feng Yiping listened to the work reports of the financial director and the operations director in person at Coin Star today.

CFO Haas and Operations Director James were a little nervous. They knew that whether they could keep their positions depended entirely on Feng Yiping.

Because their positions were critical, but precisely because they were critical, they were often easily adjusted after being merged.

So they prepared for the report with unprecedented care, and during the report, they were also unprecedentedly attentive, always paying attention to Feng Yiping's reaction.

But this young man looked unusually mature, and there was no clue on his face.

Haas, who was quite unsure in his heart, was ready to spend some more time to talk to Feng Yiping. Just at this time, Feng Yiping's phone rang. Feng Yiping picked it up and took a look, "Bezos?"

Haas hurriedly said goodbye, "You are busy, I won't bother you. If you have any questions about any financial data, call me at any time. Believe me, Mr. Feng, the data I report is absolutely the same as in the system, but I will react faster than the computer. You are busy,"

He still took the time to say a few words for himself.

"Okay, I believe it," Feng Yiping answered the phone after watching Haas close the office door. "Hello Bezos, what can I do for you?"

"I heard you were in Seattle?" Bezos asked.

"Yes, I just arrived this morning,"

"Feng, do you owe me an explanation?" Bezos suddenly said without thinking.

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!
