Chapter 1515 Analysis
Jin Ling checked the time and called Feng Yiping. After two rings, he answered, "Is it over?"
"On the way back to the company," Feng Yiping said.
"It works well?"
"I dare not say it, mainly because time is limited," he pondered for a moment, "There are a lot of things I want to say but I don't have the chance to say them."
"Do you still expect the leader to have the opportunity to listen to what you have to say? Just be content! How many people can have such an opportunity, how many people can have such treatment? Even my father and others are envious," Jin Ling explain.
This is true. Senior officials like Jin rarely have such an opportunity.
"Big boss, do you think of our comrade Yiping in a different light?"
"I don't think so myself, but from other people's eyes, it seems there is," Feng Yiping couldn't help but smile, "You have to keep a low profile,"
"Pfft," Jin Ling laughed, "I don't know where you got your good luck."
This guy doesn’t have any other connections, but he comes to the most high-end school as soon as he comes. He goes to school in the capital. Because of his choice of major, because of the book he wrote, and because he is favored by the school, he is strongly recommended to become a youth May Fourth student. The candidate for the medal finally won the award successfully... It was so easy and logical, and I actually had contact with the previous and current leaders.
And it's not that kind of courtesy reception.
For a country like ours with a population of more than one billion, such luck is incredible. (Feng Yiping sneered over there, do you think I chose my major with my eyes closed?)
Jin Ling heard his father say more than once that he still had unfinished business and said with great regret that if Ping had chosen to enter politics...
The implication is that it is possible to achieve something.
Although Jin Ling found it funny, he did not refute it. This is the conclusion that people who are not familiar with him would draw. He looks humble, but in fact, he is proud. How can he hang out in a hierarchical officialdom? Let him nod and bow to superiors who are higher than him? He probably would rather go home and farm.
However, he really has some feelings that an official should have. He is obviously an entrepreneur, but he always worries about things that officials should worry about, such as the development of his hometown.
This actually made her a little worried. She was always worried that Feng Yiping would say something she shouldn't have said in such a meeting. Enthusiasm was a good thing, but being too offside was inappropriate.
Fortunately, he still knows the right amount.
"What measures do you think the higher-ups will introduce?" she asked curiously.
"I'm afraid the access to some fields will be relaxed," Feng Yiping thought about the big brothers he had met at the venue before.
At least Pan Shimin's information was accurate, because there were several civil aviation bosses present.
"That has nothing to do with us," Jin Ling said.
With Feng Yiping's temperament, he would not invest in those popular fields that everyone is looking forward to.
"You should be satisfied, the only policy that has anything to do with us is tax cuts," Feng Yiping smiled.
"We have done our best for this matter, so don't worry about it anymore. Okay, I have other things to do, so let's do this for now." Jin Ling saw Fang Yingzhi walking in with the dusty Drucker, and hurriedly hang up the phone.
"Hello Drucker, welcome,"
"Hello Jin," the energetic Drucker asked directly as soon as he sat down, "Jin, is there anything important that I need to deal with?"
"It seems that, Drucker, you are very adaptable to work and life in China?" Jin Ling asked.
"It's very adaptable. This is a magical country. Both colleagues and residents are very friendly and take good care of me as a 'foreigner,'" Drucker said with a smile and said the word "foreigner" in broken Mandarin.
"That's good," Jin Ling poured a cup of coffee for the highly motivated old white man, "I'm sorry to interrupt your work in the capital,"
"I'm also looking forward to visiting this city known as the Pearl of the Orient," Drucker said.
"Drucker, what I want to talk to you about has little to do with your essential work. I also hope that you can keep this conversation confidential,"
"No problem," Drucker said solemnly.
"Especially to Feng," Jin Ling added.
"Feng?" Drucker was stunned for a moment, but he didn't hesitate for long, "I should be responsible for you."
"It doesn't matter," Jin Ling waved his hand, "Listen to me and you can decide later."
Drucker sat upright, "Say,"
"Feng is a strategic genius that belies his age. His vision and decision-making are all very correct,"
Drucker nodded. It was indeed true. Compared with the current boss, the previous boss Schultz pales in comparison.
"Being consistent with his age, he is also very motivated in doing things," Jin Ling shook his head. "This sometimes makes me worry, is our company developing too fast, causing the foundation to be a little weak? It's fine here in China, but I don't have much involvement in the business in the United States."
"You happen to have just been familiar with the situation there and have been a Starbucks executive for many years. You have excellent abilities and first-class vision. The focus of today's conversation is that I want to ask you, from your perspective, what do you think about us? What are the hidden concerns about our business in the United States? What areas need to be improved urgently?”
"The reason why I want you to keep it a secret from Feng Ye is because I don't want him to worry about these issues,"
I see! "I understand," Drucker nodded, "but Kim, this is a big question and I need time to think about it,"
"No problem, you don't have to be responsible for other tasks in the past two days. We will discuss it after you come to a conclusion," she stood up and said solemnly, "Please!"
"No, thank you for your trust. I am also a member of the company. I am happy to help the company in other aspects. In addition, it will not take a few days. I think I will be able to report to you tomorrow morning,"
"Okay," Jin Ling dialed the phone outside, "Cancel all my schedule for tomorrow morning."
"The scheduled meeting with that senior official has also been cancelled?" asked the assistant who answered the phone.
"Cancel," Jin Ling said without any hesitation.
…………
At nine o'clock the next morning, it was still Jin Ling's office. Compared with yesterday, Drucker, who was slightly haggard, sat on the sofa. "Mr. Jin, judging from the current situation, the business in the United States is developing well. In a short time, it will definitely not be the same." There will be no problems,” he affirmed.
"Several major projects we have developed ourselves, from NEXEDOOR to now Facebook and YouTube, are pioneers in this field and have quickly consolidated our advantages. In fact, this is also true for the Tesla currently under development,"
These Jin Lings all know, "So, what about the medium to long term?"
"In the medium to long term, from a business competition perspective, there won't be any problems. With our first-mover advantage and the comprehensive capabilities of our team, giants like Microsoft and Apple will intervene in the field we are pioneering,"
"This is inevitable. Without them, there would be other companies or other start-ups involved in this industry," Jin Ling interrupted.
"Yes, there will definitely be competition in the medium and long term, but based on the reasons mentioned above, I think this problem is still not a big problem and we will still have the advantage,"
"So, do you think the problem lies in other aspects?" Jin Ling said.
"Jin, when you were studying for your master's degree at Harvard, you should have been exposed to many cases. When those competitors cannot win through normal competition methods, they will not stop there,"
"Well," Jin Ling was thinking about the cases he studied at Harvard.
"Fortunately, in the future, our competitors are very likely to be located in Silicon Valley, at least within the greater San Francisco area," Drucker further mentioned.
"You mean?" Jin Ling hesitated, "They might find the senator?"
Fighting for the interests of the companies in his district is the most important job of a U.S. senator. Otherwise, not only will there be a lot less money and supporters during the next year’s election, but if all the companies in the district support his Competitors would be directly sentenced to political death.
"However, there is a high probability that we and possible competitors are located in the San Francisco area," Drucker repeated.
Jin Ling sat down, "Then they might go directly to the relevant committees of Congress, no, that's for sure,"
Drucker said nothing, but he obviously agreed.
At this point, Jin Ling's thinking became smoother, "What we are most vulnerable to attack is Feng's identity. He is Chinese, and in the House of Representatives and the Senate, there are many people who are very unobjective when it comes to China. "
Drucker nodded.
"Then...," Jin Ling found that he couldn't continue.
