Chapter 1588 Reuse
"Hello," Zuckerberg opened his eyes with difficulty and fumbled to get the microphone in his hand.
When people are happy, they are energetic and sleep well. Even on the first night in this strange country, he still fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow, without even dreaming in the middle, and slept until now.
"Zuckerberg, Yiping is waiting for you in the lobby," Wu Qian said to him on the phone.
"Thank you, Assistant Wu," Zuckerberg sat up suddenly, looked at the alarm clock next to him, and shouted, "Oops!"
It was already past six and a half.
He hurriedly put on a T-shirt and a pair of sports shorts, and when he tied his shoelaces, he didn't forget to brush his teeth. In this way, he finally rushed to the lobby at six and eleven, and at this time, the young boss looked like he had been waiting for a long time.
"Morning," he ran over a little embarrassedly.
"Morning," Feng Yiping hung up the phone and nodded at him, "Did you sleep well?"
"I slept too well," Zuckerberg explained, and walked with Feng Yiping to the door.
"That's a good thing," Feng Yiping said.
He envied this guy's heartless character.
As soon as he walked out of the hotel's automatic door, Zuckerberg couldn't help but "hiss". The weather here was really cold. He immediately followed Feng Yiping and ran quickly.
After running a few hundred meters, Zuckerberg slowly felt warm. He glanced at the boss beside him and tried to look past the tall buildings around him to see the buildings that were impressive yesterday, although he only had a glimpse of them, but how could he see them?
Then he found that there seemed to be too many people who liked to run in the morning in this business center, and he soon discovered that these people seemed to come for the boss.
These men and women with hot breath between their mouths and noses, without exception, would come over to say hello to the boss, and some would even look at him a few times.
Although he didn't understand Chinese, Zuckerberg could see the inquiry and envy in their eyes, as well as the jealousy that some people didn't hide too much.
He was not unfamiliar with such eyes. In the United States, after hearing about the company's arrangement for him, many colleagues who were originally devoted to programming were like this. At the salon last night, after knowing his identity, many Chinese engineers who communicated with him about technology were like this.
He could understand such a situation.
There were many colleagues of the same age as him in the company, but they were only responsible for miscellaneous work in various projects. Compared with his treatment, it was really a world of difference.
Zuckerberg felt that the reason why he overslept this morning was largely related to the fact that he drank so much wine last night, and many of those wines were persuaded by these colleagues.
If it were a young boss around him, he would not worry about colleagues persuading him to drink, Zuckerberg thought.
It can be seen that although the young boss was very easy-going, he nodded to the employees who greeted him one by one along the way, without missing a single one.
But his prestige among his employees was still full, because Zuckerberg could also see that many of them wanted to run side by side with the boss like himself, but in the end they all ran away reluctantly.
He saw that many people looked back at this place after running away.
As a person with a missing brain, Zuckerberg didn't think there was anything wrong with running with Feng Yiping, but now he felt honored.
Probably to reduce trouble, they kept circling in the Jiasheng Business District. Zuckerberg noticed that although the boss didn't say anything during the running, his eyes didn't stop and he kept looking around.
It seems that his morning run is actually equivalent to an inspection.
Zuckerberg didn't know what the boss's conclusion was. In his opinion, the park was reasonably divided. For example, the hotel open to the public was relatively at the outermost periphery, and it was reasonably and effectively divided from the office area.
The supporting facilities of the park were also complete. They had everything that those parks in Silicon Valley should have, and even what those parks in Silicon Valley didn't have.
He also saw that in some office buildings, at this time, some sleepy guys came out and walked towards the restaurant. According to his experience, these foreign colleagues should have worked all night.
Apart from the different architectural styles and the fact that the main force here is all oriental, Zuckerberg feels that this place is actually no different from the Silicon Valley campus.
…………
At 7:30, Zuckerberg appeared at Feng Yiping's dining table on time. He was particularly envious of the unbeatable view here. From where he sat, the skyline of this ancient yet young city was right in front of him.
Within the sight, the palace complex with red walls and yellow tiles can also be seen.
"You have three days to combine the team that will be brought to India," Feng Yiping said while eating the carefully made muffins in the hotel restaurant.
In addition to those who came from the United States this time, some people from China will be added.
"No problem," Zuckerberg said confidently after taking a big sip of orange juice.
"I believe Mike and the others have explained to you that the team you are responsible for, in addition to expanding the company's Facebook and YouTube, as well as the development of other products in the Indian market, and implementing the agreements we reached with some Indian partners a few days ago, the most important task is to train the local team,"
"Especially the latter, it is very critical. You will soon find out that the local residents of India are different from the colleagues we met in Silicon Valley. They are very confident, arrogant, and narcissistic. It is impossible for them to accept that all the projects we invest in India are managed by foreigners as executives."
"Mike has talked to me about this issue repeatedly. I understand," Zuckerberg said. "The key to the problem is that it may not be easy to find a suitable person to be responsible for all our business in the Indian market."
"You can leave this issue to the company. We are currently recruiting suitable candidates worldwide, not only in the United States, Europe, and especially in the United Kingdom, which is our key area of investigation."
"Then I am more confident. The first thing I have to do in India is to set up a training center. Drucker has prepared a training plan for us, and the training team is also on standby. Through email, I also asked him a lot of questions and made a lot of plans," Zuckerberg said.
It can be seen that he also cherishes this opportunity very much.
"If there is anything that needs my coordination or support, you can also contact me directly. You will soon find that no matter how much preparation is, it is never too much," Feng Yiping smiled.
"No problem," Zuckerberg said with a very upright attitude.
"Another key issue, Mike should have talked to you about, is our expectations for the Indian market," Feng Yiping talked about the next topic.
"From the perspective of population size, I know that India has great market potential, but judging from the data, whether it is Facebook or YouTube, the number of people in India who can become our registered users should still be limited,"
"Of course, I can only make a specific judgment after I get to India,"
What he said is not unreasonable.
Whether it is Facebook or YouTube, to become a registered user of them, you must first be an Internet user, and India added less than 5 million new PCs throughout the country last year.
It is certain that these 5 million PCs cannot all be online.
Of course, it is not easy to say so, because those Indian residents who do not have computers that can access the Internet can still go to Internet cafes.
"What you said makes sense, but just like young girls putting on makeup is not for the present, but for the future, many of our current work arrangements in India are focused on the future," Feng Yiping said.
Zuckerberg nodded.
"In the future, my expectation for the Indian market is that the number of registered users in India, whether it is Facebook or YouTube, will exceed the number of registered users in the United States. Your job is to lay a solid foundation for this expectation,"
"Feng, I remember," Zuckerberg nodded solemnly.
"There is one question that Mike didn't talk to you about, which is your whereabouts and arrangements after opening up the Indian market,"
After hearing Feng Yiping talk about this, Zuckerberg simply put down his knife and fork. They are not like domestic employees who say, "All is arranged by the company,"
"Combining your own characteristics, I think there is a position that is most suitable for you," he paused for a moment, "Yes, I think it is what you hope and expect, the position of CEO of Facebook currently held by Mike,"
Zuckerberg was obviously excited, "Feng, I..."
"If you can operate the Indian market well this time, I think you are fully qualified for this position,"
"Don't worry, boss, I will definitely hand in a satisfactory answer to the Indian market," Zuckerberg said confidently.
"It's a good thing to have confidence," Feng Yiping nodded. At this time, Wu Qian came over gently, "Yiping, there is a colleague named Emilia outside the door who wants to see you,"
