Chapter 1568 Breakfast Meeting
This evening, both parties were making final preparations for tomorrow's meeting. The lights in Feng Yiping's suite and on the top floor of the Mumbai building were on until late at night.
But the expectations of the two parties were very different. For Feng Yiping, he actually did not want to cooperate with other companies in core areas, such as the key areas he needed to develop.
Therefore, at the beginning, he did not attach much importance to cooperation. However, in a country like India, which still has a caste system that distinguishes people's classes and high and low in real life, but is also the "largest democratic country", maintaining a good relationship with these powerful capitals is a practical necessity for the future development of his company in India.
So although he asked his team to discuss, in fact, he already had a clear plan for which projects the company would develop in India could cooperate with others.
But the Tata Group is different. Through these days of analysis, they are very clear about Feng Yiping's influence in China. He not only has a good relationship with the government, but also has a high reputation in the business community.
What surprised them most was that this reputation was not because he was currently the richest man in China, but because he had almost no enemies in the Chinese business community.
Although the main reason is that the fields he is engaged in are mainly new fields, his companies in traditional fields, such as decoration companies, can actually maintain good relations with other competitors, which is particularly rare and shows his skills.
In view of some problems encountered in the process of developing business in China, they deeply understand that if they can have a partner like Forex in China, it will at least be of great benefit to the development of their business in China.
Feng Yiping's other identity, the identity of the most eye-catching entrepreneur in Silicon Valley, is also very attractive to them.
Look at the visiting group he organized before, which almost caught all the well-known high-tech companies in the United States.
It is also surprising that in the United States, he has successfully maintained good personal relationships with some competitors as in China.
Speaking of which, Microsoft, Yahoo, and Amazon are all companies he invested in, or competitors of the companies he founded, but look at the results. Once he mobilized, those companies actually cooperated so well.
Tata Consulting and TCS, which are currently developing strongly under the group, lack relationships with the senior executives of these high-tech companies in the United States. If they can establish a good relationship with Feng Yiping, then the prospects and money prospects!
The higher the expectations, the greater the pressure. Relatively speaking, Tata and his team worked much harder than Feng Yiping this night.
…………
At 8 a.m. in Mumbai, Feng Yiping and Mike were tired but in high spirits. They just walked to the door of the restaurant, talking and laughing. "Ding", the elevator next to them arrived. An Indian guy in a suit and tie came out first and respectfully stopped the elevator door. Then, an old man with gray hair, dark complexion, and wrinkles, but vigorous, walked out.
Tata's side happened to arrive at this time.
"Hello, Mr. Tata," Feng Yiping greeted him on the spot, and then walked a few steps over there, "Good morning!"
"Haha, good morning, Mr. Feng," Ratan Tata held Feng Yiping's hand tightly and couldn't help but look at him a few times. Of course, he has seen countless people, but he still can't see through the young man in front of him.
First impression, this is really a young man who makes people feel good at first sight.
He looks handsome, well-dressed, without any sharpness, clear eyes, sunny and gentle smile, whoever sees him will have a good impression.
He looks very relaxed, but Tata can see that, unlike those ignorant or ignorant children who relax, his relaxation is based on a strong self-confidence.
I believe that no matter how powerful he is, he will be so relaxed.
This is the state that everyone pursues, so it is naturally very comfortable to see him.
The overall feeling he gives Tata is really not like a person who started from scratch and founded a promising multinational group, but like a college student who lives a carefree life, has not really entered the society, and does not know the hardships and sufferings of the world.
If you ignore the people behind him, he is standing here, it really doesn't seem like he is waiting for himself, but waiting for a lover with a good relationship.
After going through so many things, and after definitely experiencing a lot of difficulties and obstacles, open and hidden arrows, wind, frost, rain and snow, he can still maintain such a mentality and successfully prevent the heavy experiences of the past from showing on the outside. This must be a very strong person in his heart.
The key is that he is still so young, which is really young enough for Tata to envy.
He has achieved such success in such a prime time, he really seems to be a person who is treated differently by Lord Brahma.
"Did you have a good rest last night?" He asked Feng Yiping with a smile.
"Very good, the Taj Mahal Hotel is really worthy of its reputation,"
Feng Yiping was also looking at this old man who is older than his father.
If we look at it from the perspective of Chinese people, this is clearly the face of a working class, but the exquisite wool suit, silk tie, meticulously folded pocket square, and the posture of being surrounded by people fully show that this is a heavyweight.
He has many wrinkles on his face, deep nasolabial folds, and a big nose. Generally speaking, he is a man with strong wrists and a strong desire to control.
Based on his personal experience, Feng Yiping believed that his judgment was definitely correct.
After hundreds of years of development, the descendants of Jamshedji Tata are naturally very large. They can stand out from so many competitors and let their distant uncle designate themselves as successors. Feng Yiping believes that this process is wonderful. The level of complexity is no less than that of the later hit "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
With so many competitors, there is no doubt that any second generation who can successfully take over will not be easy to deal with.
However, his modest temperament like a British gentleman and the image of a kind elder are really easy to make people like him. It seems that this is why he has such a high reputation among Indian people.
The two people were chatting and laughing, like a pair of friends who had been together for many years. They walked into the restaurant side by side, which naturally attracted the attention of the guests who were also dining in the restaurant at this time.
These people may not know who Feng Yiping is, but they all undoubtedly know the old man in front of them. He is one of the real masters of this city, or this country.
Many people stood up.
"Hello," Tata greeted those people gently, as cordially as an old man in an alley.
On the sea side of the restaurant, a long oak table has been set up, decorated with yellow bouquets.
There were already several good-looking waiters waiting aside with menus.
"Please," Tata and Feng Yiping sat next to each other. Seeing this, their subordinates also sat down staggered, not as formally as one side.
Tata proposed to meet in the form of a breakfast meeting. Originally, he wanted both parties to have a preliminary understanding in a relatively casual state before formal negotiations.
Of course, this is also because they attach great importance to Feng Yiping. They feel that waiting in the Bombay building for Feng Yiping to visit them is a bit arrogant and self-assertive.
However, it is also inappropriate for Tata to go to the airport to greet him in person. After all, the other party is still a young man, so a breakfast meeting is a good choice.
The waiter obviously knew Tata's taste very well and didn't even ask him about his needs. He made a recommendation to Feng Yiping, "This kind of bread is good, authentic American style."
Unlike most Indians, Ratan Tata received his university education in the United States and graduated from the Department of Architecture at Cornell University. Therefore, his English has a lot of American accent, and his lifestyle naturally reflects it. Influenced by the United States.
"Thank you." Anyway, in India, you can't even think about eating bacon or the like comfortably.
"Mr. Tata, I have always admired the Tata Group's centuries-old heritage. The Tata Group is a legendary company with a very charitable spirit. I have noticed that the Tata Group's previous business development was mainly in India, and it is well known that 's very successful,"
"So what made you decide to make it international?"
Putting down the menu, Feng Yiping asked first.
