Chapter 1297 Questioning

On January 20, the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the celebrations of the New Year in Chinatowns across the United States have reached their climax. From New York in the east, to Chicago in the middle, to San Francisco in the west, these well-known Chinatowns have reached the busiest time of the year.

A large number of local people and tourists, some of whom even wore Tang suits and carried cameras, gathered around Chinatown, watching the Chinese Americans in red clothes and yellow pants, led by the Monkey King with a painted face, holding a golden Chinese dragon and tumbling on the American land to the sound of gongs and drums.

Wu Xinyang and his group of young people who were celebrating the Spring Festival in the United States for the first time were very surprised and excited to see such a traditional celebration that was more authentic than most places in China thousands of miles away from home. They rushed to take pictures.

Zheng Jiayi was also very happy at this time. She was attending the New Year reception held by the San Francisco Consulate on behalf of NEXTDOOR and Feng Yiping.

She was still curiously looking at the banquet hall and the guests. At the reminder of the staff, the consul who was chatting with various overseas Chinese leaders came over with a smile on his face, "Hello, Xiao Zheng, Happy New Year, welcome home,"

"Thank you, Ambassador Zheng," After all, she is the daughter of a senior official and has been in the system for a while. She is very sensitive to things like rank. Before coming, she specially checked the rank of the Consul General in San Francisco and knew that although the one in front of her is the Consul General, he is an ambassador.

The funny thing is that Feng Yiping can't even figure this out.

"Our General Manager Feng asked me to bring him to extend New Year's greetings to you,"

Consul Zheng seemed to be not surprised at all that she was familiar with this, "Haha, thank Yiping for me, we all know that he has been very busy recently,"

"You have been very busy recently, too, haha, we often see you in the reports," Consul Zheng put his hands behind his back, his eyes full of praise, "Yiping really has a good vision, such an outstanding young man like you is rare now, I think the unit that let you go must be regretting it now,"

He really knew Zheng Jiayi's situation clearly.

"Your Excellency, thank you for your compliment. I believe that any staff member in the consulate can easily handle my current job," Zheng Jiayi responded appropriately.

Although this was her first time to participate in such an official event abroad, and she was so highly regarded, she was not nervous at all.

From childhood to adulthood, she was used to similar government activities, and was used to being the center of attention and being praised by everyone at such events.

"Sure enough, you are as humble as Yiping, it's good to be humble," the ambassador encouraged her again, "There are many people of your age here, and there will be performances later, it will be fun,"

"Thank you, you are busy," there are American officials waiting over there.

As soon as the consul left, Zheng Jiayi was immediately surrounded by a group of people, all of whom were very polite.

These overseas Chinese leaders and chamber of commerce leaders saw the consul general talking to this little girl for such a long time, how could they not ask about her background?

In this time, they could not find out that Zheng Jiayi was the child of a senior official in China, and their politeness was all for Feng Yiping.

If we talk about the most famous Chinese in the United States in the past two years, it must be Feng Yiping.

Not only does he have high-end connections in the political and economic circles of the United States, but he is also a well-known rich man. There are naturally many benefits to making friends with such people.

To put it bluntly, if you get some sponsorship or undertake some business, you can make them die.

But unfortunately, Feng Yiping does not have much contact with the local overseas Chinese community.

This little girl is an opportunity.

In the past, Zheng Jiayi might not have handled so many people very well, but now she can handle those American reporters and deal with such a scene at hand.

"What an outstanding girl," soon, she received a lot of compliments like this.

But what made her a little helpless was that these people were asking about Feng Yiping's news in a roundabout way.

But she was lucky. A staff member of the consulate came over quickly, "Ms. Zheng, I am from the Commercial Office. Our counselor asked you to come over,"

"Sorry to leave," Zheng Jiayi walked out of the crowd without any apology in her heart. She finally knew why Feng Yiping didn't come today.

The counselor was also a middle-aged man. He didn't say anything polite to her. He just picked up a newspaper and handed it to her, "Xiao Zheng, you have to take a look at this."

"USA Today?" Zheng Jiayi glanced at it and asked in confusion.

"The business is really good," the counselor praised, "Financial edition,"

The reason why Zheng Jiayi knew that the newspaper was USA Today at a glance was because it was the only serious color newspaper in the United States and one of the newspapers with the largest circulation in the United States.

"Unfulfilled expectations," Zheng Jiayi glanced at the title, what did it say?

"At the end of last year, during the visit of the new Chinese Prime Minister to our country, a business merger that attracted the attention of the top leaders of both countries, the merger of China's richest man, the entrepreneurial idol of the world's youth, and the Silicon Valley high-tech company Netflix by Yiping Feng, which caused a sensation several times last year, was successfully approved by the SEC last weekend,"

"As mentioned before, this is an investment that has set a new record for single investment in the United States and China, and it is also the largest overseas investment received by our country in the new year,"

"Due to Yiping Feng's outstanding performance after the acquisition of Coin Star, we have great expectations for his actions after the successful acquisition this time, and look forward to how he will surprise us this time,"

"We were deeply impressed. On the first day after he successfully acquired Coin Star, he creatively implemented the coin-for-card program that was popular among merchants. He geniusly expanded the traditional business scope of Coin Star and turned this stagnant company into an advertising and sales platform."

Speaking of this, it was actually all flattery for Feng Yiping, and it felt like a soft article that was paid by Feng Yiping, but Zheng Jiayi knew very well that the company had never done such a thing.

Then the tone of the article changed.

"However, unfortunately, we have not seen the expected measures introduced until now,"

"We applied several times to interview Mr. Feng or Netflix's senior management, but were not approved,"

"Yesterday, they launched a new website, but this website, which also focuses on social networking, has nothing to do with Netflix,"

"Finally last night, we got the latest news that Netflix held a celebration dinner, which seems to be a good time to introduce new measures, but there is still nothing we expect,"

"What is certain is that we may not be able to wait for news in this regard for some time in the future. It is reported that Mr. Feng will fly back to China tomorrow to spend the traditional Chinese New Year with his family,"

"Why at such a good time, Feng and his company have not introduced any new measures? We can't help but wonder if there are no new measures at all!"

"We all know that Mr. Feng's main business in the United States focuses on social networking. Yesterday's launch of Facebook, It can be said that their deepening of this field is a very effective business move, but we can't see any connection between Netflix and social networking at all."

"Such a move also makes us very puzzled, as if they just threw aside this company that they spent more than 2.5 billion US dollars to acquire."

"Then we can't help but ask, is the move of the genius Mr. Feng to acquire Netflix based on strategic thinking? Why did he acquire Netflix? How to develop after the acquisition? Does he have a careful arrangement and plan? "

"Or, his acquisition is to cooperate with the diplomatic needs of the Chinese government? Did he receive pressure from the Chinese government when he acquired this company? "

"Is there any possibility that Mr. Feng, who is regarded as an entrepreneurial idol by young people around the world, has "run out of talent" as an ancient Chinese saying says? "

"Netflix is ​​a public company, and the interests of the majority of investors cannot be ignored..."

"Sorry, I have to go back to the company right away," Zheng Jiayi was in no mood to continue reading.

"If you need help, please call me at any time," the counselor gave her his business card.

"We will take care of it," Zheng Jiayi said.

"Xiao Zheng," there were still many people in the banquet hall who wanted to get close to her, and there were also a few young men who were eager to try, but Zheng Jiayi just nodded to them hurriedly, without saying a word, and hurried out.

The consul was about to speak, what was she going to do?

Soon, the news spread, "You are still young," a word came out from the crowd.

But it sounded like there was some joy in it...
