Chapter 1570 Essence

At 9:50, Feng Yiping and his party arrived at the Mumbai Building by car.

Compared with the newly built high-rise buildings seen along the way, the Mumbai Building is really inconspicuous. People who are not familiar with it will never think that this is the headquarters of Tata, one of the best private companies in India.

In Feng Yiping's opinion, with the tall antenna racks on the roof, to be honest, it looks like a telecommunications building in some second-tier cities.

But it can be seen that the eyes of the people passing by look at this building with love, and the eyes of those who enter this building are envious.

This is probably the same as the saying that a mountain is not high, but it is famous for its immortals.

Sean, who was waiting at the bottom of the stairs, personally helped Feng Yiping open the car door, "Welcome, Mr. Feng,"

If the previous understanding of Feng Yiping was still superficial, the contact from yesterday to this morning gave Sean a vivid and intuitive understanding of Feng Yiping.

He is humble, but has outstanding insights. His views on some issues will make you unconsciously admire him; he is gentle, but not easy-going, and he is very principled on key issues...

Sean's own conclusion is that it is easy for you to have a good impression of him, instinctively feel that he is not threatening, and instinctively ignore the amazing energy he can burst out.

Therefore, he thinks Feng Yiping is a very deceptive person, but what makes him admire more is that despite this, you still can't help but like him.

At such a young age, he has such charm. Sean can't imagine that after a few decades, when he enters the most mature middle age of a man, will his charm break through the sky?

Look, now there is a girl who has been fascinated by him for only a few hours.

The security personnel on the periphery stopped a girl carrying a thermos bucket at this time. The girl pointed to a car on the side of the road. The glass of the back seat of the car was lowered. Marika took off her sunglasses and waved to Owen with a smile.

It turned out to be her! Owen waved his hand, and the girl ran to Feng Yiping with a thump, her slightly dark face was red, "Mr. Feng, this is the herbal tea that Miss Marika made for you,"

Marika? Why is he here?

Feng Yiping looked back and saw Marika lying on the car window, smiling brightly. A strand of her long brown hair fluttered outside the car window, dancing in the wind.

But what's wrong with this girl? Why does her smile look so silly? Did she find money after going out, or did she forget to take medicine before going out?

Feng Yiping nodded at her in confusion, and said to the little girl who bowed her head, who should be her assistant, "Thank you, and thank Miss Marika for me."

Sean was still standing by with a smile, and the Tata executives who came down with him looked at each other in bewilderment. What's going on? How could they have any intersection? Why does Miss Marika look so fond of Mr. Feng?

"Mr. Feng, please," Sean led the way in front, and the two parties were busy shaking hands behind.

"Oh, so many dogs?" Feng Yiping said as he looked at the dogs that followed them and jumped up and down the steps.

And these dogs looked like stray dogs, why didn't they take care of them?

"On a rainy night three years ago, Mr. Tata announced that all dogs wandering outside the headquarters building could take shelter in the building, and some of them never left again," Sean explained.

"I think I understand why Mr. Tata is so respected," Feng Yiping said.

This is really a contradictory person. He loves dogs so much, but he doesn't think about getting married or raising a child.

"Haha, Feng," Ratan Tata laughed and walked out of the elevator.

Feng Yiping felt that he really matched this lobby, which was not very bright, the decoration looked a little old, and the overall European aristocratic style.

"A colleague who knows Chinese told me an idiom, 'Bengbi Raofei', your arrival makes us here bengbi Raofei,"

Feng Yiping knew that he should be talking about Pengbi Shenghui.

"Mr. Tata, your Chinese is very authentic,"

"Hahaha, I want to learn, but to be honest, Chinese is too difficult," Ratan took his hand, "Come, I'll take you on a tour,"

The most conspicuous thing in the lobby is a few statues, "This is our founder, Jamsetji Tata," he pointed to the marble statue and introduced.

"What a respectable old man," Feng Yiping said.

"These are our second and third chairmen, RD Tata and JRD Tata,"

These are two bronze statues.

"Every day when I go to work, I pass by here, and they always remind me what kind of responsibility I shoulder," said Ratan Tata.

Feng Yiping nodded, and he was impressed that such a company that has been established for nearly a century and a half has only four heads so far. This must be said to be something worth learning.

Before entering the elevator, he looked at the statues, especially the marble one. Presumably, this is also the reason why the Tata Group has always used this place as its headquarters for so many years.

…………

Outside, until the door of the Mumbai building became quiet, Marika put on her sunglasses with a silly smile, "Let's go,"

"To the company?" the assistant asked.

"No, of course we'll go to the market to buy raw materials first. What do you think of the spices that he can eat?"

The little assistant shook her head. She didn't know what spices Feng Yiping could eat, but she knew that her boss seemed to need to take medicine. Would it be useful to leave everything behind and revolve around that person?

With his status, there are a lot of people who would do this. Just think about it. Is it useful if you do this?

…………

When we get to the top floor, not only does the light get better, but the decoration style also changes and becomes modern.

The dark solid wood furniture, brass utensils, chandeliers, etc. are no longer visible. Instead, there are Indian paintings, framed in red, white, and black minimalist style paintings. box.

“I like this style because of my major in college,” Ratan Tata said. “Sometimes I always think that if the company doesn’t need me, I might become a designer.”

"You will definitely become a design master," Feng Yiping said with a smile.

"Haha, my only work may be the new home I am planning to build," Ladan smiled and walked into the conference room with Feng Yiping. As the two parties sat down, the staff served coffee and tea according to everyone's requirements, and the conversation started Officially begin.

"Dear Mr. Feng, we very much welcome and thank you for your visit. Your Jiasheng Group is a well-known company with strong strength. After more than a century of development, our Tata has also accumulated considerable strength," Mr. Sean speak.

“India and China are the two largest markets in the world, and Tata and Gain Capital have great influence in their respective countries. The Tata Group looks forward to providing more Chinese consumers and companies with services, Jiasheng also hopes to expand its business in India,"

"It is also the common wish of both you and us to expand internationally. We happen to have a good foundation in Europe, and you have very good achievements in North America,"

"Generally speaking, Tata and Gain Capital are highly complementary. Therefore, we believe that if we cooperate, it will be of great benefit to improve the performance of both our companies,"

His words were very official, but also very practical.

"We fully agree with your views and proposals," Mike said. "We are here just hoping to make friends, and we are very much looking forward to cooperating with an outstanding company like Tata."

The progress was going very smoothly. Sean glanced at Tata, who nodded, so he took out a folder, "Based on the characteristics and business scope of both parties, we initially believe that we can explore the following areas... ,"

"Sorry Sean, I want to interrupt," Feng Yiping raised his hand.

Sean was stunned, the rhythm was so good, why did you interrupt? But Tata immediately made a "please" gesture.

It is precisely because the rhythm is too good that we have to interrupt. In negotiations, the most taboo thing is to fall into other people's rhythm, Feng Yiping said sincerely.

"As everyone knows, a very embarrassing thing happened when I first arrived in Bangalore," Feng Yiping said with a smile. "After that, I probably did some research. Due to some objective reasons, most people in India do not use water for domestic purposes. In terms of hygiene, it is generally unsatisfactory, and I believe that this situation will not be uncommon around the world,"

"So I thought, what can I do about this within my capabilities? Then I had an idea. I felt that if I could develop an energy-efficient and low-cost household water purification equipment, it should be This situation will be improved,"

"I have given my design department such a design task. I believe that we will eventually design a product that passes the quality standard but is more affordable than European and American products and can be affordable by our people."

"So I want to ask, is Tata interested in this project?"

Water purification is naturally related to chemistry, and the Tata Group has strong chemical companies. Their participation will definitely shorten the research and development process.

The most important thing is that if we can cooperate with Tata, then the sales of water purifiers in India will naturally not be a problem in the future.

Tata took a deep look at Feng Yiping. This young man has really sharp eyesight. He knows very clearly that there is still a long way to go before everyone in India can drink safe and reliable drinking water. .

Although people have become accustomed to these unclean domestic water and will not react as strongly as Feng Yiping and others, but if domestic water can be made safe at a very low cost, who wouldn't like it?

Why didn't you think of this before? Are you so used to it that you turn a blind eye?

He is like this, and the executives of the Tata Group are even more like this. Yes, why haven't we seen such a good opportunity before?

We were born and raised here, but none of us are as sharp as someone who has only been here for a few dozen hours. This Feng Yiping is indeed well-deserved.

Both Tata and his subordinates fully believe that, as long as they want to do so, they will be able to produce products that are more competitive than European and American products that are high-priced but not necessarily high-quality.

Because they all know the advantages of India and China in human resources.

"Every product designed by Mr. Feng's design department has been widely praised, and it must be the same this time, so yes, we are happy to cooperate with Jiasheng on this project,"

Is this a collaboration? Sean looked at the document in his hand. This was the result that everyone discussed until late last night and was finally finalized. Speaking of it, it seems that it is not as attractive and feasible as this project.

But you still have to read, "Mr. Feng is indeed very visionary. We still have some proposals regarding cooperation,"

"I also have an idea," Feng Yiping said with another smile.

Sean simply closed the folder and waited until you finished talking.

"We all know that Mumbai is also a world-renowned film and television capital, and Bollywood produces three to four hundred feature films a year,"

Well, Sean thought of the scene that happened in front of the building before. There was a reason why he thought of Hollywood.

"It just so happens that as the economy continues to grow at a rapid pace, our domestic film consumption market is also taking off, and people are increasingly fond of Hollywood-style cool special effects skills. However, in terms of special effects production, our two countries are different from Hollywood. , the gap with Europe is obvious, so I think..."

Considering his future business expansion in Bollywood, he felt that it would be the best choice for a special effects company to cooperate with Tata and others on a project like this.

At the same time, it is true that India does have cheap and useful engineers.

How cheap is it? The four major Indian technology giants mentioned earlier, including Tata Consulting, all have more than 30,000 employees when their output value is within US$1 billion.

Such cheap manpower must be put to good use.

"No problem," Laden said this time before Feng Yiping finished speaking.

At this time, he was so upset that he wanted to hit his head.
