Chapter 1455 Progress

This is the first time that John, Ma Ling's father, has boarded Feng Yiping's Gulfstream. Heidi and Ma Ling watched him holding Vincent and looking around with interest, and couldn't help but think of the awkward first encounter in Hawaii.

That time, John resolutely chose not to take Feng Yiping's plane.

"The service of your company in Seattle, Coin Star, is indeed becoming more and more attractive. I see that more and more people in Palm Beach are using it, right Heidi,"

"It's good, but you know, John exchanged all the coins in the family, about 600 US dollars, for Starbucks coupons at one time. We have to use them until at least next year," Heidi shook her head, "What if you even exchanged them for a few movie tickets?"

"Haha," Ma Ling also laughed.

But Feng Yiping thought this was the best news. There are rich people in Palm Beach, and even those guys are using it. This trend is really good.

"In fact, in the future, you can do this. Call the service center and explain which coupons you need, and then let our service car come to your door," Feng Yiping said.

He actually understands John's approach.

The reason why he exchanged all of them for Starbucks coupons was probably because he didn't want to stay in front of the coin exchange machine for too long.

As an old-fashioned successful person, he certainly didn't want others to see him staying in front of the coin exchange machine for a long time.

"You will come in the future," John, who was embarrassed by the laughter, said to Heidi.

"Besides going to the Coin Star this time, what other arrangements do you have? Can you tell me?"

"There are mainly two things. I have a meeting with Bezos of Amazon. This was agreed before,"

John took the initiative to ask about his work, which was also a big progress.

"Oh, Amazon," Old John nodded. As a regional real estate developer, he was still quite far away from people like Bezos.

He looked at Feng Yiping with a complicated mind. If it weren't for the relationship between his daughter and the young man, he would not have had any intersection with him because of the distance.

"Are you on good terms with Bezos?" he asked.

"How should I put it? We have some personal relationship, but you know that business friends are not stable. Once they encounter competition, they may fall apart."

"You are right. Although business is business and friendship is friendship, it is not so simple to deal with it. Sometimes it is inevitable that they will affect each other. Oh, by the way, with Chinese cultural traditions, these things may sometimes bring greater troubles."

"That's true," Feng Yiping nodded.

Old John's words hit the point. The United States is a society that values ​​business. Not only brothers, but even fathers and sons will settle accounts. They sometimes have troubles, let alone Feng Yiping.

Let's not talk about the distant past. The reason why he was so hesitant about the acquisition of Google was largely because he felt a little guilty.

"But Feng, you may be sad, but you must not be swayed by such emotions, otherwise, it will definitely bring you more uncomfortable consequences in the end," Old John said seriously, "You talk about friendship, but it doesn't mean that others do the same. You are weak, but others are not weak," Heidi also said, "Yes, Ping, John has learned such a lesson. You must pay attention and always remember to put the interests of your company first," "Thank you, I am trying to adapt," Feng Yiping poured John a glass of whiskey, "When I first started my business, I felt that the company was serving me and I decided what to do. As the company's scale expanded step by step, I felt more and more that now things are reversed. I serve the company and the company decides what I should do," "Some of you are pushed forward against your will?" John laughed, "No, this is just your temporary illusion. In other words, it is not the company that pushes you, but the responsibility that pushes you, which shows that you are an entrepreneur with a strong sense of responsibility,"

"When the company grows bigger and bigger, the responsibilities you shoulder also grow bigger and bigger. The interests of the company not only represent your personal interests, but also the interests of all your employees,"

"But in the end, you will still find that you are still leading the company, because after all, a company is not only a complex of interests, but also a platform for you, the leader, to realize your own will, right?"

"If you have no pursuit, you can be like me, be content with a small fortune, and stop moving forward after achieving some achievements, right?"

This is a bit like Master Wang Guowei's three realms of life, "knowledge, action, and gain,"

But what he said is indeed reasonable.

If he had just let his parents open a noodle shop in the provincial capital, he could have become a leisurely rich second generation, or he could have relied on the accumulation of the novel he wrote and his ten convenience stores in the city to live his life like that. At least in the local area, it is definitely better than the best and better than the worst.

Why did it grow bigger and bigger? In addition to the responsibilities he took on himself, he also wanted to show his ambitions.

In fact, in the final analysis, including the responsibilities he took on himself, can be regarded as a part of self-realization.

And his Forex is the platform for his self-realization.

When thinking of this, Feng Yiping suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

One thing we all know is that if you take the initiative to do the same thing, and if you are forced to do it passively, you will definitely have completely different feelings.

Feng Yiping originally thought that he had been driven away by things recently. When John said this, he felt a sudden realization and his mind became clearer and clearer. "You are right, thank you John,"

He said it solemnly, but John also enjoyed it, "Haha, I have been in business for decades and have not achieved much, but...,"

Heidi interrupted him rudely, "Okay, don't show off, it's just a few more decades of life. Think about what you were doing when you were Ping's age?"

Speaking of this, she felt a little embarrassed. It seemed that at that time, his thoughts were all on herself, "Besides this, what is the other thing?"

"Actually, the most important thing about going to Seattle this time is another matter. We have contacted a vice president of Starbucks several times before, and it was only recently that he finally relented and agreed to join us."

"When I go this time, I also specially invite and welcome him to join the company,"

"Vice president of Starbucks?" John and Heidi both said incredulously.

"Yes, parents," Ma Ling leaned on Feng Yiping's shoulders proudly. She understood why her parents were so surprised.

They couldn't help but be surprised.

Starbucks, Coca-Cola, and McDonald's have actually become symbols of the United States in the world and are concrete representatives of the image of the United States.

If a vice president of Starbucks joins Feng Yiping's company, this is definitely a strong recognition of Feng Yiping and his company.

"Which one? What will he be responsible for when he comes to your company?" John asked. He must not be a vice president in the area below.

"It's Drucker, Vice President of Starbucks headquarters. He has been the receptionist for me several times when I visited Starbucks. He joined this time to be in charge of our human resources department,"

In other words, he was transferred from the vice president of Starbucks to Feng Yiping's company as vice president? John couldn't help but glance at Heidi, which was even more impactful.

As we all know, executives of these well-known companies will be promoted greatly after joining other companies.

For example, after the president of Microsoft China joins a domestic company, he usually directly serves as the president of the company, such as Mr. Tang, who has a lot of controversy.

As mentioned earlier, Mr. Hugo, whose girlfriend was robbed of love by Brin, chose to leave Google in anger. When he was at Google, he was just a vice president of the Android system. He joined Xiaomi, which is very popular in China. Later, he became global vice president.

Therefore, the fact that Drucker joined Jiaqiang but was not promoted can at least show that he believes that Jiaqiang's future development will definitely not be lower than Starbucks. Otherwise, there is no need to leave his current job and join Jiaqiang instead. Sheng.

"Dad, just take a look at these projects we launched this year," Ma Ling said with a smile.

That's right, John and the others thought about it. The new projects launched by Feng Yiping's company this year, whether it's Facebook or YouTube, can be said to be the most dazzling star projects in Silicon Valley in recent years.

No wonder that Drucker had such an idea.

"It's good, it's good," they both said.

However, following Feng Yiping means that these shocks and surprises will not end.

Just after getting off the plane and before getting in the car, Feng Yiping received a call. John and the others didn't take it seriously, but Merback asked, "Is it Mr. Gates calling?" They were stunned again. That Gates?

"Yes, Bill invited me to visit Microsoft and to be a guest at his home,"

ps: Sorry for the delay, thank you all for your understanding!
