Chapter 1541 A Difficult Issue to Discuss

"This Gini coefficient," Page couldn't help shaking his head as he stood in front of the window, looking at the night view that was more brilliant than the San Francisco Bay Area.

"This is a problem that developing countries must face. Well, in fact, it's not just developing countries. Look at us. Because of geographical factors, the economic development of the states in the central region is not as good as that of the eastern and western regions," said Brin.

The so-called "states in the central region" refer to those states located between the east and west of the United States. Many people always fly over them and never visit them.

Feng Yiping added: "This is the region where our country has a good foundation and is the first to open to the outside world, so it is now the best developed."

At this time, they were already on the top floor of the Jiasheng Building on the banks of the Huangpu River.

This afternoon, after a quick visit to several Jiasheng companies in the provincial capital, they hurriedly flew from the central region to the east.

They didn't stay in the provincial capital for long. Jobs didn't even attend the meeting held by the provincial leaders. Except for Amazon and McDonald's, other companies didn't reach any intentional agreements with the province.

Page's idea of ​​using high-altitude hot air balloons to provide Internet access to remote areas is naturally good, but if you think about it carefully, there are many problems that need to be solved, and it is obviously not suitable to be raised on such an occasion.

However, the province is actually quite satisfied. This is the first time that the province has entered the sight of so many world-class company leaders, and it is not without gain.

The main thing is that Feng Yiping is here, so there will naturally be opportunities in the future.

Feng Yiping also has a rough estimate of such an outcome. The province's achievements in the field of high technology are very few, and the representative ones are still his own companies.

It has certain advantages in the field of heavy industry, which is not very related to this high-tech company, but when Tesla is produced in China in the future, it can join the supporting system.

In other words, the main reason why he brought so many people to the province this time is to let those people go to Wuli'ao.

As for investment, with himself here, is there any need to worry?

Besides, the optical display screen project that he is planning to build, including the gorilla, will definitely be used for Apple in the future, and the transition from the current computers and iPods to the iPhone will not be abrupt in the future - that is a very good piece of cake.

This is also an important and key achievement they have made in this trip to the province, so Feng Yiping himself is also very satisfied.

After arriving here, their schedule was also very tight. They were received by the city leaders as soon as possible, and then they were busy with their own things. Microsoft has its own research institute here, McDonald's China headquarters is here, and the electronic map company that NAVTEQ and Feng Yiping cooperated with is also located here... Since they are all here, they naturally have to take a look.

Chief Yang naturally met with representatives of high-tech companies here and made friends everywhere, with one schedule after another.

Since Jobs landed, he has held meetings and discussions with the newly reorganized four major business units in China. According to the employees serving the conference room, the smell of gunpowder was very strong. It seems that what Fang Xing was worried about finally happened, but he was not even qualified to bear Jobs' anger.

As for the two Googlers, Brin, under Feng Yiping's insistence, reluctantly gave a speech at Fudan University for Google's China business, which was well received.

Forget Page, he is determined not to do such a thing.

"This is really a great process," said Page.

During the few days in China, they have been to prosperous metropolises and remote small villages, and have come into contact with many Chinese people directly and indirectly. From the perspective of entrepreneurs and businessmen, their understanding of China is finally no longer flat.

After comparing the past and the present, they have a very high evaluation of China's reform and opening up to improve the living conditions of more than one billion people.

"The result of this process will definitely change the world economic structure in the future," Brin always says.

"This is also an advantage of our country's system. When we concentrate on one thing, it will have a very amazing effect," Feng Yiping has been looking for an opportunity to talk to them about this issue, so as not to wait until the future, because of different policies, these two guys will have some emotional disputes and take the initiative to withdraw from China, which will easily ruin the foundation that has been laid with great difficulty, and then you will be caught in the middle and be in a dilemma.

"But you also intuitively feel how many people there are in our country," he pointed to the crowd on the Bund at this time and said, "It is not easy to make so many people rich. Managing so many people and striving for good internal and external opportunities for reform and development is also a very challenging task."

It's really hard to talk about this issue. Feng Yiping thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of a suitable entry point, and could only beat the drum.

"More than one billion people are indeed a great opportunity and an amazing challenge," Page said.

"Speaking of which, we are going to visit another populous and developing country next, let's go together,"

"India," Feng Yiping agreed after thinking for a while, "Okay,"

Speaking of this neighbor, he has admired it for a long time.

It's not because of the dancing movies over there, but because he knows that this country is an important market for many domestic industries, and is also a well-known exporter of IT talents in the world. It is also the first choice for outsourcing in many industries in Europe and the United States - there is no way. , who makes Hinglish, it is also English, that is their natural advantage.

It is indeed necessary to go there and take a look.

"How about we travel around the world this time," Brin suggested enthusiastically, "from there to Russia, and then to Europe."

It can be seen that Google's current smooth development and its rising stock price have made them want to relax.

"I have no objection, but wouldn't it be better to wait until the 767 is modified?" Feng Yiping suggested.

"Yes, we'll wait until our Google One is modified first, then that's it," Brin said impatiently.

Therefore, after suddenly possessing a huge amount of wealth, although they appeared to be a little disapproving, in fact, they were still a little uneasy.

Of course, Feng Yiping was not much better at this point. When he was in Singapore, because of his great success in speculating on the Hong Kong stock futures index, after all the contracts were delivered, he was very happy to see so many extra figures in his account. Rolling around in bed?

"Hello Feng," Mark, who was beside Jobs, came up in a hurry, "Is it convenient now? Steve wants to talk to you,"

"No problem," after all, he was also Jobs's special adviser, and the issue that Jobs wanted to talk about now was naturally related to the Chinese market, and he naturally had the right to speak in this regard.

"I heard that the meeting was very intense?" he asked with a smile.

"Yes, Steve is very dissatisfied with the work of the entire Asia-Pacific region, including John, the vice president in charge of Asia-Pacific operations," Mark said.

Since they were dissatisfied, given Jobs's irritable temper, it was obvious that those people would not want to be left behind.

"Feng, wait a minute, the coffee is good." When Feng Yiping saw Jobs, he was writing something on the computer. He should still be a little angry, which could be seen from the intensity of his keyboard typing.

Mark helped Feng Yiping pour the coffee and quietly left. This business trip was really the most uncomfortable one.

Not long after, Jobs closed his laptop with a "snap" and walked around the study room a little irritably. "You know how to deal with the China team, but now it seems that those responsible for the failure of the Chinese market operation are responsible for it." , not only the China team, but also the person in charge of the Asia-Pacific region, including the senior vice president in charge of the Asia-Pacific region at the headquarters, all have the responsibility,"

"With such poor performance, so many problems, and such a huge market, they just didn't see it and were indifferent,"

Feng Yiping also couldn't figure this out. Apple's Asia-Pacific headquarters is located in Hong Kong. Now Hong Kong and the mainland are so closely connected. It's impossible for them to not understand the potential of the mainland market. But they are as if they are blind. They have a huge impact on this. The potential of the market turned a blind eye, and no measures or actions were taken.

"They are not derelict in their duties, they are derelict in their duties,"

Judging from the look of Jobs, John, the senior vice president in charge of the Asia-Pacific business, does not seem to be in a stable position.

However, this time, it seems that Jobs cannot really be said to be harsh or unkind. Those guys are indeed suspected of malfeasance in their duties.

"Feng, what do you think is the main reason why we failed so much in China?"

Yes, this is also a difficult issue to discuss.

Feng Yiping thought for a while, and in front of Jobs, who was still angry and had a bad temper, he still said those words, "Can I say that Apple is too arrogant in China?"
