Chapter 1390 New Problem
On the way back, Feng Yiping couldn't suppress his inner happiness. He had successfully changed his image in Xiao Aohei's mind. From then on, he was no longer just a generous sponsor, but a person who could propose key ideas on his way forward. An old friend with constructive opinions.
The latter identity will obviously last longer.
Talent is scarce for everyone.
For O'Hei, as he becomes more successful step by step, raising campaign funds will no longer be the biggest problem. What is difficult is how to take the future road, or how to take the better road in the future. He will increasingly need similar advice.
Feng Yiping, who is talented, wise, and also rich, will undoubtedly become his closer friend in the future than Feng Yiping, who is just rich.
Fortunately, Buchanan lived up to his expectations and quickly played an irreplaceable role in O'Hei's team.
A good start is half the success. It can be expected that as long as Buchanan performs normally in the next few years, by 2008, as a member of the core team, he will definitely have a good position.
Considering the share of U.S. business in Gain Capital, maintaining good relations with the circles in Washington is not a matter of necessity, but a very necessary thing.
Comrade O'Hei will be re-elected for 8 years. Although we don't know who the president of the United States will be after him, by the end of his term, his company's development in the United States will definitely reach several big steps.
By then, the situation will definitely change. At that time, I would be like Steve Jobs now. Even if the President of the United States calls me, whether I go or not depends on whether I am in a good mood or not.
"Feng, why don't we pay more attention to the California congressmen?" Cummins couldn't understand Feng Yiping, who couldn't help but express the happiness on his face.
He is just a person who may become a senator from other states, and he is still black. Even if he can be successfully elected, what benefits can he bring to the company?
You know, he can only speak for his own constituency.
"If I remember correctly, doesn't California have a Chinese-American congressman? And it seems to be the first female Chinese-American congressman in so many years. With such a candidate, it is easier for us to establish a long-term relationship with her, and it is also worthy of establishing a long-term relationship. Contact, isn’t it?”
Feng Yiping naturally knew this situation.
It should be said that even within North America, Chinese Americans in California are the most active in participating in politics.
Although not many have successfully entered Capitol Hill, there are many Chinese-Americans who have become state legislators and hold some important public offices in the state. But to be honest, Feng Yiping does not want to get too close to them.
One reason is that, as we all know, as old as California's Chinatown is California's "corporate" culture, such as the well-known Zhi Gong Tang.
Many ethnic Chinese who are engaged in politics this week will naturally have to win support from the Chinese community in the early stages of the campaign, so they will inevitably have connections with local associations. Feng Yiping does not want to be indirectly involved in such trouble.
This is not unfounded worry. I remember seeing news like this later, more than once.
Secondly, the businesses launched by his American company are all aimed at the mainstream market in the United States. From the company's perspective, labeling ethnic minorities such as Chinese is not necessarily a good thing.
"Your proposal is great," Feng Yiping said. "Actually, I have never liked dealing with people in these political circles. The reason why I invested in Barrack was, let's put it this way, after meeting him at the NAVTEQ meeting. I feel more compatible, that’s all,”
This was of course an outright lie. His initial investment in the United States was in Chicago and not anywhere else except California. It was not without reason. However, he did not expect it to go so smoothly. The first time I went to Chicago, Met the target person.
"I quite agree with some of his views" - in fact, I am very optimistic about his future.
"I also think he is a very charming person and a friend worth making friends with," - I still feel very little about his future.
"So, I just want to be willful." - How is this being willful? How do you get to know Xiao Aohei, and how do you get closer after getting to know him? How is this not thoughtful?
Cummins always felt that Feng Yiping's answer was a bit far-fetched.
This is also an old fox. He has studied Feng Yiping in detail. He really doesn’t believe that he is so supportive of O’Hei. He even specially recommended Buchanan there. This is definitely not the so-called “willful behavior.”
And there must be a very strong reason.
So, what is the reason? Cummins really can’t think of it right now.
Because that answer was completely excluded by him at this time. How could such a situation happen when a black man aspired to the highest power in the United States?
But since the boss didn't say anything, there was a reason why he didn't say it, so he immediately changed the topic, "Seeing that Buchanan is very satisfied with the current situation, I am very happy for him,"
"Yeah, that guy's like a fish back in the water now,"
…………
“Going home,” Cummins said at noon, looking at the prominent bridge below.
"Yeah, I'm home," Feng Yiping looked away from the computer.
"Feng, is there another problem?" Cummins asked.
He clearly felt that as he got closer to Silicon Valley, the boss who was originally very happy. The mood seems to be getting lower and lower.
"No," Feng Yiping shook his head and rubbed his eyes, "I'm just a little tired."
How can it be okay?
During the Spring Festival, Huang Jingping and Amanda were fine in China. Now that they have arrived, there is her and Amanda on one side and Ma Ling and Vincent on the other. It is certain that both mothers and children on both sides must be looking forward to him. Then, the question is, how to coordinate the time?
Going home is naturally to the home in Mountain View, but Los Gatos cannot be avoided. It has been several months since I last saw my son.
Because Ma Ling works at Netflix, he can only see her and Vincent after get off work. His usual habit is to go home and have lunch with Huang Jingping when he is in Silicon Valley.
Feng Yiping, who has always arranged his time scientifically and reasonably, is worried for the first time about how to arrange his time so as not to cause trouble.
He even thought whimsically whether there are any training courses for this aspect. If there are, he must go and learn them well.
"Yes, you have been running around since you flew here from China, and you have arranged so many meetings in the past two days," Cummins nodded and said considerately, "There is nothing urgent for you to deal with in the company, why don't you take a good rest at home in the afternoon?"
"No, I still have to go to Netflix." I didn't go to see Ma Ling and Vincent the day before yesterday, so I have to go today anyway.
"Okay, but I promise that I will try my best not to bother you with other things in the company,"
"Thank you, please,"
In front, Amanda was already running towards her father with a smile.
Feng Yiping hugged his daughter, "Let's go home,"
Huang Jingping came up and looked at his face, "Are you tired?"
Feng Yiping kissed him on the forehead, "Yes, I am tired,"
"Then rest at home in the afternoon,"
"Cummins also suggested this, but it's really not possible today. I must go to Netflix. YouTube is developing too fast. I don't feel at ease if I don't go to see it,"
YouTube, which did not spend too many resources to promote, is now developing at the same pace as Facebook, which has spent a lot of resources to promote.
"Okay, then you come back early in the afternoon,"
"I thought so, but I may not be able to do it. I guess some meetings will inevitably go on until the evening,"
"And tomorrow, I should not be idle either. I must go to Google and Apple, and I have to take time to meet those domestic employees who are studying in Netflix's warehouse center. I guess I have to go out early in the morning and come back late at night,"
To be on the safe side, Feng Yiping simply arranged two days in advance.
"You work so hard and are so busy," Huang Jingping leaned against him, "Can you really retire according to your schedule in the future? I don't want you to work so hard all the time,"
"I can definitely do it," Feng Yiping said affirmatively, "Even if I can't do it by then, I will resolutely let it go,"
What happened in the past few days and what he had encountered before made him now strongly disagree with the idea that revolution will never stop and fighting will never stop.
In fact, he can also be sure that by then, all the goals he set should be achieved. The key to whether he can fulfill his promise lies in whether he can let go of this busy but very satisfying work that makes people enjoy and indulge in it.
Huang Jingping was also very satisfied with his answer. She didn't want Feng Yiping to repeat the mistakes of these recent people.
