Chapter 1128 Recruitment

"Thank you for your trust in me," Feng Yiping said.

To be honest, he didn't expect Bezos to have such an idea, but he didn't seem to package himself well. How come he became a person who had a key solution to everything?

He just had some ideas in this regard, and he immediately felt that he would definitely be able to make similar websites more effective.

Haha, this is really a rare trust.

However, I have to say that this feels really good!

"By the way," Feng Yiping said with a smile, "Amazon's philosophy is to buy out what you can't compete with. Are you practicing this philosophy in another way?"

His words were quite straightforward.

To be honest, he was still a little upset.

Before, he was very opposed to launching a similar website. Seeing that the road was not feasible, he immediately changed his face and switched to another road. If he couldn't stop it, he would win it over. His preparations were really sufficient and his considerations were really thorough.

Nitrogen, why should I cooperate with you?

After Bezos made the second suggestion, Feng Yiping figured out some problems. Websites like IMDB are really just for talk.

For most people, the main purpose of going to IMDB is to rate a movie they have watched, or to check the score of a movie to see if it is worth spending money to watch.

Other movie-related information on the website, such as production and distribution companies, behind-the-scenes, and tidbits, will only be watched if it is the work of their own idols. For other movies, they only need to know the ratings.

As for the rating, NEXTDOOR has done a good job. The algorithm used for rating is also unique. With this core function, it doesn’t matter whether the other ones are available or not - it just saves a lot of money.

Bezos didn't know this, and was still trying to persuade Feng Yiping to work with him. "The important thing is that you join the existing IMDB, isn't it easier than building one from scratch?"

"Feng, do you have any good ideas to increase the income of such a website?"

Looking at him like this, Feng Yiping suddenly felt very educated. What is a capitalist? This is a capitalist! The starting point for considering problems is mainly income.

This seems to be a very interesting cycle. At the beginning, we do a lot of work, and the main purpose of consideration is money, but when it reaches a certain point, such as Drucker, the vice president of Starbucks, who Feng Yiping is very interested in, he makes some decisions at this time, but not for money.

However, the group of people above Drucker, such as Schultz of Starbucks, or Bezos of Amazon now, their purpose of consideration has returned to the starting point, still for money!

This is actually the same for Feng Yiping. If he only considers himself now, he can completely not care about money, but if he considers the company, he must care about money, so many people rely on the company to make a living!

"Bezos, I want to build a website like this, just like Cole Needham (founder of IMDB) did, not for money,"

Bezos looked unconvinced and said uncertainly, "Is it also for your other companies?"

Feng Yiping shook his head. Before his main purpose was settled, he couldn't say anything about it now.

"Then I believe you must have great ideas," Bezos said, "Of course, it doesn't matter. I'm too anxious. You should think about it first. It's not too late to discuss this issue after you are sure to join IMDB."

"Thank you, I have to think about it carefully." Not building such a website does not mean not investing in such a website.

As for the ideas that Bezos expects, just think about it slowly!

…………

Just after having lunch with Bezos, who cares a lot about money, Feng Yiping had dinner with Drucker, who doesn't care much about money, in the evening.

It's not that we can't meet in other ways, but this way is intimate and friendly, not too formal, and it is very suitable for talking about things that we are not sure about.

"Hello, Feng," Drucker was already waiting there when Feng Yiping arrived at the restaurant. As soon as he saw him come in, he immediately stood up to greet him. He was more attentive than Bezos and more respectful than when he first received Feng Yiping to visit Starbucks.

In addition to Feng Yiping's series of business operations in the United States, which made them recognize and admire him, this is actually also due to the factor of money, because Feng Yiping's current company can help Starbucks make money.

"Hello, Mr. Drucker," Feng Yiping shook his hand, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long,"

"Feng, you are too polite. When you arrive in Seattle, I should have entertained you. But why don't you come to our company this time?" He asked Feng Yiping to sit down and said with a smile, "Are you not satisfied with the discount we gave?"

"You can rest assured about this. We have formulated a plan. Based on the benchmark discount, according to the amount of consumer coupons sold by Coin Star and the promotion of company sales, we will give different proportions of concessions again,"

Feng Yiping, who is a salesperson, is naturally familiar with this set of rules. Isn't it equivalent to rebates? The more you sell, the higher the rebate.

"Thank you for your thoughtful plan. I am very glad that Starbucks attaches so much importance to this cooperation. But Drucker, this is not the issue I want to talk to you about today," Feng Yiping said straight to the point.

Drucker was not surprised. When Feng Yiping arrived in Seattle, if he wanted to discuss work, according to the principle of reciprocity, he would go directly to Schultz. Even if he wanted to discuss work with himself, it would not be on such an occasion.

"Please tell me if you have something," Drucker said readily. "I have been in Seattle for so many years. I know some people and have some connections." He thought that Feng Yiping came to him for a private matter.

"Thank you in advance, Drucker. I respect you," Feng Yiping raised his glass.

"Haha, I am honored,"

"Drucker, what I want to talk to you is actually related to work." Feng Yiping did not go around in circles with him. "You may not know that, excluding employees here in the United States, in mainland China alone, our company's employees Now there are more than 25,000 people,"

"Of course, it can't be compared to Starbucks,"

Starbucks already has more than 100,000 employees.

"No, we are a company that has passed middle age," Drucker said. "Furthermore, this should also show that your employees are efficient and you control costs very well."

"You have praised Drucker. The problem is that although our total number of employees is not large, I personally feel that the problems we are facing are not small. The main ones are the problems I mentioned when I first visited your company. employee motivation issues,”

"The current trend is that old employees are becoming more and more negative, while new employees quickly transition into old employees. The reason why there seems to be no problem now is mainly because my company is still in a period of rapid development. There is no problem, but this problem has been covered up by rapid development,"

"I feel now that sometimes, I am not able to direct the company's operations very freely,"

"This is actually a common problem. When a company becomes larger, its execution capabilities will always decrease accordingly," said Drucker, an expert in this field. "Fundamentally speaking, there is no way to eliminate this problem. We can only try our best." Keep it within reason,"

"This is a very serious problem I am facing now, and we are not controlling it well,"

"As you know, Starbucks has some effective practices in this regard. I wonder if we can talk to Schultz and have some fruitful exchanges between our two companies on this issue? ” Drucker suggested.

"Thank you for your suggestion. This would certainly be a good idea. However, my concern is that just as Toyota's lean production methods are not applicable to the U.S. manufacturing industry, some methods that are very effective at Starbucks may not be applicable to my company. It will be very effective,”

"You make sense," Drucker nodded, "This possibility does exist,"

"To address this problem, we have introduced and will introduce many measures, but since we are not experts in this area, I personally have a pessimistic attitude towards the effectiveness of these measures,"

"I think the best way to solve the problem is for an expert with rich experience in this field to lead a team to have an in-depth understanding of the specific situation of our company, and then combine it with some basic principles to tailor a set of capabilities for the company. An effective plan,"

If Drucker still doesn't understand Feng Yiping's thoughts, then he, the vice president, really got here by luck.

"Yes, you guessed it right Drucker, I personally like you very much. Among the people I know, if there is anyone who can solve this problem perfectly, it must be you," Feng Yiping said.

Drucker was really a little stunned now. He was silent for a while, "Thank you Feng, I'm very happy that you have such a high opinion of me. It's just that I have worked at Starbucks for so many years and I have a lot of affection for it. "

This is why he would say this when facing Feng Yiping. If it were another company outside the United States, which was still weaker than the company he currently works for, and he rashly issued such an invitation to himself, he would definitely have no choice but to give it a quick and easy response. Three words, "Not interested,"

"JiaSheng is also a company that aspires to globalization. Although our current business is mainly concentrated in China and the United States, we have very clear plans for the development of other markets, and some projects are under intense preparation. For example, our convenience store project,"

"So, we very much need some talents who are experienced in the international operation of enterprises. In this regard, Drucker, you are also very experienced. This is another aspect that we can rely on you,"

"Drucker, in terms of strength, there is some gap between the current Jiaqiang and the current Starbucks in terms of scale, but in the not too distant future, I think this will not be the case,"

"Of course, you may think we are a little arrogant to say this, but Drucker, compared with Starbucks, GAIN Capital is a relatively diversified company and we have more opportunities,"

"We already have a very good foundation in many promising areas, and these are where my confidence lies,"

Many of Feng Yiping's current layouts are promising directions in the future, and in several directions, he is now leading the world, at least one or several moves ahead.

On these basis, the problem he faces is not whether he can surpass Starbucks. The biggest problem he faces will be how to organically integrate these companies under the premise of effectively managing these companies.

Although Feng Yiping said it euphemistically, Drucker naturally heard what he meant. Is it not a problem to surpass Starbucks in the near future? He instinctively felt that Feng Yiping was talking in his sleep.

Let alone the scale, Starbucks' international reputation and brand influence are not something that any company can catch up with quickly.

In 2001, Starbucks ranked 88th among the world's 100 best brands, and its brand value has grown rapidly.

Gain Capital? Currently, it is not as well-known as Feng Yiping on a global scale.

However, looking at the light in Feng Yiping's eyes, thinking of the incredible achievements he has made along the way, thinking that he is only 23 years old this year, his net worth has actually surpassed his boss, and he has already ranked among the top 100 richest people in the world, and it seems that his position will get higher and higher, then it seems that this is not impossible?

"I think this issue will be tested by time in the near future. I am not saying this to show my arrogance or arrogance. What I want to express is that working in Forex, from now on, you are heading down, but believe me, this is definitely only temporary,"

"Join Forex, you can play a role in human resources and international operations, and you will definitely have more power and room to play than you do in Starbucks, which means you will definitely achieve greater success,"

This is also the strategy that Feng Yiping finally decided on. For people like Drucker, money may not necessarily impress him, especially if he has to go overseas to work, but career may not necessarily be.

If people like Drucker are dissatisfied or want to improve, it must be because they are no longer young and want to make a breakthrough in their careers before retirement.

Middle-aged men's sense of crisis often comes from their careers.

"Drucker, are you willing to work with me to build an internationally leading enterprise group?"

ps: I have created a group, 454, 231, 228, welcome everyone to come and give more valuable suggestions, and look forward to the opportunity to communicate with you!
