Chapter 1432 This Is a Problem
"Your skirt is so beautiful," Lucy said to Huang Jingping, pressing the hat on her head.
"It's really beautiful," Brin's girlfriend Annie also said, "Are the flowers on it hand-embroidered?" She asked, touching Huang Jingping's skirt.
As far as Feng Yiping knows, neither of them is a brocade pillow, but also a strong woman, and later it seems that they also founded a high-tech company.
However, as long as they are women, I'm afraid there is no one who doesn't like beautiful clothes, and Europe and the United States advocate handmade products.
"Yes, this is one of our country's intangible cultural heritage..."
Women always find common topics easily, and they gather together and chat non-stop.
"Still sleeping?" Brin said Feng Yiping, but he also got down, pressing the recliner to squeak.
"Get up," Paige poured some water on his hand and sprinkled them on the two of them.
As a result, Feng Yiping and Brin were fine, and Amanda over there cried "wow".
Originally, the noise of the three women on her mother's side disturbed her, but she was still trying to sleep. Now that water was sprinkled on her face, how could she still sleep like this?
As soon as she cried, Paige immediately threw the water bottle, sat on the ground, and pretended to be looking at the scenery. This guy must have done this a lot before. "Don't cry, don't cry," Feng Yiping picked up his daughter. Now, Tangguo was finally free. She jumped off the recliner nimbly, shook her head a few times, and ran away, leaving Feng Yiping with a relieved back. Then, behind a tree, she raised her hind legs... "It was him, he poured water on your face," Feng Yiping and Brin said at the same time, pointing at Paige who was sitting on the ground. "Uncle is bad," Amanda rubbed her eyes, sniffed, and pointed at Paige. "Here," Feng Yiping handed her his glass of juice. "Yes, pour it back," Brin held down Paige who wanted to run. "Water him, water him," even Paige's girlfriend Lucy stood by and clapped her hands and made a fuss. Feng Yiping couldn't help but wonder, was Paige's work at noon not effective? "I'm sorry Amanda, uncle apologizes to you," Paige waved her hands quickly, "I was wrong,"
Amanda held the half cup of juice in both hands, looked at Paige, looked at the tempting juice, and then, with the same neck, drank it all up, "It tastes good,"
Then she rolled her eyes, quickly pulled up Feng Yiping's clothes, and wiped the corners of her mouth.
"Haha," everyone laughed.
This child!
"Amanda, let's go to the store, okay," Lucy smiled and picked her up.
…………
"It's great to have a child," Brin said as he watched the women drive away.
"That's not easy, just give birth to one earlier," Feng Yiping said.
The two shook their heads in unison. At this moment, they all envied Feng Yiping. Lucy and Annie were not the kind of people who would give birth to children so early.
"You've been staying here these days, and things are going well over there, right?" Paige asked.
"Except Tesla, the others are pretty good," Feng Yiping said, "Making cars is really not an easy thing,"
"You chose a difficult path," Page said, "almost starting from scratch,"
"Yes, actually I didn't want to, but you know, in many ways, those traditional car manufacturers are laughing at us and resisting us," Feng Yiping shook his head.
"Also, we all agree that the automobile manufacturing industry, at least the automobile manufacturing industry in the United States, has not only not changed much for many years, but also has many artificial barriers. We don't want to continue their practices that have been passed down for almost decades, and hope to integrate the open spirit of the Internet into it,"
"That's how it should be, adhering to the concept of the Internet to build zero-emission cars and teach those who follow the old ways a lesson," Page patted the chair.
"Hey, does Tesla need investment?" Brin asked.
"You want to invest? Of course, I think everyone on the board will unanimously welcome you two to join,"
It seems that originally, these two guys invested in Tesla.
"We are quite interested and hope to see the results as soon as possible," Page said.
"We hope to have at least one car ready for mass production in 2007 or 2008 at the latest, but we expect the biggest problem at that time will be production costs,"
"Because of the material, it is estimated that by then, the battery, which accounts for the largest proportion of the cost, will not increase much,"
"This is understandable. You want to produce a pure electric car that can dispel people's doubts about mileage, and the battery will definitely account for a large proportion," Page said, "I hope that with the increase in production, the cost can be reduced,"
"That factor has been considered," Feng Yiping said.
"The pure electric car you are planning will definitely be more expensive than a fuel car, which will naturally restrict sales, and in turn affect production," Brin said.
"Yes, that's right," Feng Yiping nodded at him.
"If the board of directors really welcomes other people to join, we will definitely invest," Page said.
"I will seek their opinions as soon as possible,"
Tesla will still have to invest for several years, and it will be very beneficial for both internal and external parties to have such influential figures as these two join.
Feng Yiping predicts that under the current circumstances, Tesla's board of directors should welcome the two of them to join, but as for the shares, it is really unlikely that they will be many.
He knows very well that those fanatical guys love this business, so he will never give up more space.
"Not counting subordinate projects, NEXTDOOR should be profitable now," Tesla's question came to an end, and Page talked about another question.
"Yes, NEXTDOOR's advertising strategy is good. Advertisers can be relatively satisfied without affecting user use. Of course, it can't compare with Google in this regard. However, I have seen the latest financial statements and it is already slightly surplus,"
"And the income is also diversified. In addition to advertising, we also have group purchase income and sales of virtual gifts, etc."
"NEXTDOOR has such a large user base. I believe that the income in the future will definitely be higher. And I believe in you, Feng. Now NEXTDOOR has so many sections. I think you will definitely add more sections in the future, and you will definitely find more ways to make money," Brin said.
"Haha, I will work hard," Feng Yiping laughed.
It is indeed the same as Brin said. The current NEXTDOOR is the best experimental platform. Many subsequent business models can now be added as a section.
"Facebook and YouTube are also developing well," Page said, "their profit model is naturally mainly advertising?"
"My arrangement is that Netflix will be merged into YouTube, so its profit model will also be more diversified, but advertising will definitely be an important part of it,"
Netflix merged into YouTube, that is, YouTube will become the core of Feng Yiping's future in the content industry, and the content industry itself can also create a lot of profits.
"Now think about it, your acquisition of Netflix is really a good move," Page said.
"Don't you know that I was more interested in Hollywood than you before," Feng Yiping said with a smile.
"Well, we know this. We watched your interview, and you almost clicked all the beauties in Hollywood," Brin also smiled ambiguously.
Which man doesn't have some thoughts about those glamorous beauties?
To talk about this, Musk, another partner of Feng Yiping, is more powerful. Maybe it's because SpaceX is in Los Angeles. He has a lot of news about those female stars in Beverly Hills.
It seems that he played with an actress who was divorced and remarried several times in the middle.
"Facebook, how do you plan to make a profit?" Page asked.
"For Facebook, our main task at present is to expand our influence and strive to have more and more registered users. Of course, we will make a profit in the future. As for the profit model, the main one may really be advertising," said Feng Yiping.
"Of course, I have some other ideas. For example, I am negotiating with Apple now. They can set up a group on Facebook. After that, for every additional user who joins the group, Apple will pay us a certain fee."
This was actually an important source of income for the original Facebook in its early days. Feng Yiping continued it. He didn't care how much income this method could bring, but he cared more about establishing connections with many well-known companies in this way, and then he could naturally mobilize them to advertise on the user page.
Page's face was a little solemn.
Feng Yiping also sat up, "Of course, I have also proposed a concept to the R&D personnel. Facebook registered users provide a lot of personal information, such as home address, occupation, interests, hobbies, etc., which is more comprehensive than NEXTDOOR,"
"Like NEXTDOOR, they will also upload a lot of photos and post a lot of dynamics,"
"So many items in this information are closely related to personal consumption tendencies. I hope they can now develop an algorithm that can accurately match the user's consumption tendency, so that they can push personalized advertising services to everyone's page in a targeted manner, thereby improving the advertising effect,"
This matter is not uncommon later. The most well-known in China is the wave of advertisements promoted by WeChat and Mercedes-Benz BMW, but at present, this is still a new concept.
The reason why Feng Yiping said so much without concealing it is mainly because he can now understand the intention of Page's words. He wants to explain the difference between his company's advertisements and Google's advertisements.
"This is something we can't do," Page said.
Yes, although Google's advertising business is very successful, compared with Feng Yiping's Facebook, it is obviously not a simple matter to understand the consumption tendency of each user, at least not as intuitive as Facebook.
"So I wonder, in the near future, will it be like this, your company and us will start a fierce competition in the advertising field," Page said.
Feng Yiping thought, as expected.
Page's vision is indeed good. Indeed, in terms of advertising business, Facebook is indeed Google's biggest competitor.
So, this is indeed a problem.
"Haha, I really hope that Facebook can become an important competitor of our Google in the advertising market," Feng Yiping laughed, "Doesn't that mean that Facebook can develop to the same level as Google? Haha, such a prospect, I really can't imagine it at present,"
He is actually in a lot of trouble, and it will indeed be the case in the future, but he can’t not develop Facebook because of Google, right? Even if he doesn't develop it, others will develop similar projects.
Page thinks about the company he founded, and he also has to think about the company he founded.
"I believe Facebook will develop very well in the future and even surpass us," Brin said. "However, I also believe that the market is big enough to accommodate everyone, and that such a project belongs to Yiping and not others. No matter what, this is a good thing,"
"Besides, those advertisers can definitely advertise on our two sites at the same time, right?" Brin was busy trying to smooth things over.
"That's right, don't think too much about Yi Ping. I just thought about this issue recently. We may have competition in the future, but competition is good and can make us all improve," Page said.
"You think far ahead," Feng Yiping nodded. "Competition in the future is probably inevitable. I hope that before then, we can find a better solution to get along with each other."
"Yes, I can definitely figure out a way,"
The two of them may have thought that Feng Yiping was just coping, but it was not true. Feng Yiping already had an idea about this solution and had an action plan.
