Chapter 1526 Unavoidable

"Stop?" Owen slowed down the car.

"Let's go," Feng Yiping patted the back of the chair. He remembered that this car was the one that the sisters from the winery drove away.

"Oh, hey!" Catherine, who was driving, had already prepared a smile on her face when she saw the Range Rover slowing down on the opposite side. Who knew that the next moment, the Range Rover would leave in a round way, not caring about her shouting at all.

She just seemed to see Feng Yiping waving to her in the car, that's it?

Watching the Range Rover turn around a small hill in the rearview mirror, and soon even its back could not be seen. Catherine couldn't help but slap the steering wheel hard and cursed loudly.

"Don't chase?" asked her sister Rebecca.

"Can we catch up?" Catherine said bitterly, "It's all your fault. You took so long when we set out."

"But, can't I find clothes?" Not long after arriving in San Francisco with her parents, Catherine made an excuse to go out for something. Rebecca, who knew her purpose, followed her closely and wasted at least half an hour changing clothes.

How could she have the nerve to wear the same clothes to meet Feng Yiping again?

"It's all your fault. You just had to join in the fun," Catherine slowly turned the car around.

"We can add him as a friend on Facebook?" Rebecca said.

"Do you think I haven't tried? Do you know how many people follow him on Facebook?"

"Then, through Rubin, you can also apply to be an intern at his company," said Rebecca, who knew she was a little wrong.

"What a great opportunity," Catherine regretted.

Although there are so many wealthy people in Silicon Valley, how many opportunities do ordinary people have to come into contact with them? It's so difficult to meet one in your own small winery.

There are hundreds of wineries on both sides of Highway 29, and it seems that this young Mr. Feng is not very interested in wine.

Unfortunately, such a good opportunity was missed in vain.

Some things, once missed, are missed. It is probably impossible to meet him at his own winery next time.

But my sister is right. I still have to talk to Rubin and try to get Feng Yiping's other companies to hold activities at his own winery.

…………

Feng Yiping didn't think about the possible frustration of the two sisters at this time.

The moment he recognized the car, he subconsciously decided to avoid it. Although he was not sure what the two sisters were going to do when they came back, if there was no accident, it would probably be trouble.

Yes, the beautiful girls who took the initiative to find him are now regarded as trouble by him.

He is very clear about the restlessness he may have when facing beautiful women as a man, but he is more aware of his shortcomings. Since he doesn't have the ability to play with flowers, he will stay away from them obediently.

However, after the noise just now, he was no longer sleepy. Looking at the vineyards outside the window that were undulating with the hills, he could smell the aroma of ripe grapes through the window. In his heart, he was thinking about what would happen in a few days.

In order to achieve his goal, what omissions might there be in the preparations this time?

As he had said to Android employees before, one of the side effects of success was that it was difficult for him to take time out for a vacation and relax. As long as he was a little more relaxed, he would be like a patient with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder in the hospital, always thinking about work involuntarily.

At this time, he had forgotten the Beetle about a mile behind him.

But what the Walker sisters didn't know was that at this time in Silicon Valley, there were also people who were particularly upset because they missed things related to Feng Yiping.

…………

At the eBay headquarters, after several rounds of failed confrontations, Meg Whitman tried her best to avoid the news related to Feng Yiping. For this reason, she rarely paid attention to the news that Google's stock price had risen sharply in the past two days and its market value had increased significantly.

As for the high-level or super-level visiting group organized by Feng Yiping, she didn't care at all.

It was obvious that even if Feng Yiping took the initiative to invite her, she would not go.

What to do? To see her own failure? To make everyone laugh at her?

Not long ago, she had asserted that Taobao's life cycle was only 18 months at most, but time flies, and more than a dozen months have passed quickly, but the result is that they are living very well!

And it looks like it will live better and better.

Although she still has an advantage at present, just looking at the data of both sides, you can see that this small company that she originally looked down on, like that weed, can no longer be suppressed after it has struggled to arch out of the ground.

And this is just the effect it has achieved after spending very little money on advertising.

Besides, how could that guy take the initiative to invite her? Didn't you see that he and Amazon are fighting fiercely?

So, she blocked all this out. Google's prosperity has made her spend most of her time and energy these days thinking about how to make her company develop faster and better.

But that's the way it is. The more you avoid something, the more it will come to you.

When Feng Yiping was comforting Android employees at the Walker's winery, the Chinese Embassy's Commercial Office contacted eBay and asked if they were willing to go to China with the group this time?

Such a formal official invitation would naturally be fed back to Whitman, which naturally made her even more unhappy.

After rebuffing the invitation, Whitman called an impromptu executive meeting.

"Everyone, I believe everyone has noticed the news about Google,"

Of course everyone is paying attention to such eye-catching news, but none of the executives present here quite understand what she meant by starting like this.

"No matter how it develops in the future, at least judging from the current situation, Google has achieved extraordinary success, which triggered my thinking about the development of our company,"

“I think Google is as successful as it is because they build services and products that people love to use and enjoy using every day,” Whitman concluded, “and that should be our the goal pursued,”

"At the same time, we need to pay attention to other trends. Google launched the book search service "GooglePrint" at the beginning of this month, entering the online bookstore market and competing with Amazon,"

"In the middle of this month, they officially entered the British e-commerce market through Froogle, a search and shopping website in the UK. Before that, Yahoo had acquired the British e-commerce Kelkoo in the first quarter of this year,"

"What does this mean?" Whitman, who smiled charmingly, was not smiling at all. "This fully illustrates that the business and information markets that seemed to be distinct in the past have now become increasingly blurred. I assert that next, the traditional The differences between search engines, portals, and e-commerce will shrink faster and faster,”

"What does this mean? It means that we will face more and more opponents in the future, and all of them are strong. Although we are one of the largest e-commerce companies in the world, we have billions of dollars in annual revenue. , but if we don’t do our job well, all of this revenue will be a thing of the past,”

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but think of Feng Yiping. It seemed that that guy's businesses were booming.

"In addition to the difference in business model, can you see the differences between us and Google and Yahoo in other places?" Whitman asked.

Here and there, a circle of executives talked about a lot of differences, but these were not the answers Whitman wanted to hear. If they also paid attention to Feng Yiping, they would naturally discover the biggest differences right away.

"Folks, the community, our biggest gap, is the community," Whitman said.

This is indeed not a simple woman. After Feng Yiping came up with the steps of Internet marketing mainly based on memory, she also keenly grasped the most important step of Internet marketing, which is the key to bringing in a large number of users and improving user stickiness: Build community.

I have to say that Feng Yiping’s NEXTDOOR is a typical example. Once the community is built, a lot of the subsequent work will fall into place.

The executives suddenly understood and proposed how to create a community, but Whitman once again rejected all their suggestions.

"Building from scratch is too slow, so I decided to acquire it. We'd better find a project that can bring us a large number of users. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Listening to the project names reported by his subordinates, Whitman was very depressed. How come there is such a large group of people, but no one really understands me?

"Do you still remember the most successful product in terms of user development and success before Facebook?" She still inevitably mentioned things related to Feng Yiping.

When she mentioned this, someone immediately remembered, "Skype,"

"Yes, that's it. It already has nearly 50 million users and has a complete community. It can also promote communication between us and users," Whitman revealed his goal.

"But," someone said weakly, "that Feng is also one of the major shareholders of Skype."

"What?" Whitman was stunned.

Her subordinates knew her attitude towards Feng Yiping, but she really didn't know about Feng Yiping's investment in Skype.

Is it true that as long as it is a popular product, we can't avoid it?
