Chapter 1654 Uninvited Guests

"Feng, I really doubt that some of your words are not modesty," Page pulled Feng Yiping out of a group of people in the exhibition hall of NEXTDOOR headquarters at 10 am on the 26th and said to him without thinking.

"You always say you are lucky, and now it seems that your luck is really good," Page further said.

That's what he said.

"Today, more than one person has said this to me," Feng Yiping said.

Although he was praised, he still couldn't laugh.

At this time, with the disclosure of more details, more and more people have a specific understanding of the tsunami, but it is obviously not enough.

There are many reasons. The fact that governments and some international organizations did not speak out at this time and did not come up with any crisis management plans in time is a very important reason.

Why is this so? Because the leaders of many Western countries are still on vacation at this time.

Many companies have already taken action.

"In addition to Wall Street, I know that several companies in Silicon Valley have hired professional search and rescue teams to go to the tsunami area," Page said.

These companies either have employees going to the Indian Ocean coast for vacation during the Christmas holiday, or employees of their Hong Kong branches go to the areas affected by the tsunami for vacation.

Nothing is trivial between countries, and the introduction of relevant measures also requires a series of procedures, such as parliamentary approval.

But these companies are much simpler. Other things are fine, but for things that everyone knows, after receiving calls from employees' families, they must take relevant actions.

Otherwise, if other companies take actions and you remain indifferent, it will not only cause the company to suffer a moral crisis, but also make employees feel chilled.

"I just want everyone to go directly to the new park to work after the holiday. I didn't expect such a thing to happen there. I am also somewhat relieved by such a coincidence,"

What he actually wanted to say was that I was also helpless.

Just like Bush Jr. would attack Iraq, such an international event, he clearly knew, but he could only know it and could not do anything.

Even if he did it, it would be useless. For example, secretly spending money to find people everywhere to spread the word that Iraq did not have any weapons of mass destruction, would that be useful? Definitely useless.

Similarly, the main reason why the Indian Ocean tsunami caused such a huge loss is that there has been no tsunami here for more than a hundred years. From the government to the people, the awareness of tsunami prevention is weak, or in other words, there is no concept of it at all.

Under this premise, no matter what efforts you make, the result will be in vain.

Personal safety is also very important, and it cannot arouse the suspicion of relevant people. Therefore, he can only use this relatively safe and effective way to keep people familiar to him and those related to him away from such natural disasters as much as possible.

He can only comfort himself. Even Superman in Underwear is also helpless when facing many things.

"There are many people looking for you. I'll go around first," Page patted Feng Yiping on the shoulder. Over there, Hartman, the deputy chief of the San Francisco Police Department, has come over with a smile.

"Congratulations, Mr. Feng,"

"Thank you, Chief Hartman," In the past two years, the relationship between Feng Yiping's company and the San Francisco Police Department has been getting better and better. It is because of NEXTDOOR and naturally because of the donation to the Police Department Foundation through Huang Jingping.

There is another point that Feng Yiping did not expect, that is, whether it is him or his company, the current stronger and stronger influence in the United States and the world, also makes people like Hartman take the initiative to establish a good relationship with Feng Yiping.

For Hartman personally, it is already a great honor that Feng Yiping, who has always abided by the law, is willing to meet him now.

When they first met, although Feng Yiping was already quite successful, how could he be so dazzling now?

If when he first met Feng Yiping, he called him "Mr. Feng" in order to reduce trouble, then now, Hartman is sincere and convincing to call Feng Yiping "Mr. Feng".

"Every time I see you, I feel particularly at ease. Thank you and your colleagues in the police department for your fruitful work, which has made the Bay Area so peaceful,"

"We are deeply honored to receive Mr. Feng's affirmation. The San Francisco Police Department will always remember those citizens who support us, and congratulate Mr. Feng on your thriving career," Hartman smiled and toasted with Feng Yiping.

"Thank you," to get such a statement from him, it means that the work and money were not wasted.

"Excuse me, interrupt me," Mayer, who was dressed in a formal dress, interrupted with a glass of wine.

"Hello, Ms. Mayer," Hartman raised his glass to Mayer and stepped aside with his men, "You two chat,"

"Jingping is upstairs, where is Ms. Ma Ling?" Mayer didn't care that Hartman knew her, and asked her question very gossipingly.

It seems that she is very interested in Ma Ling, whom she has never met.

Huang Jingping came today. In any case, she should come to such an occasion.

But she didn't stand with Feng Yiping. She brought Amanda and was standing in the corridor upstairs with Mike's wife Lisa.

"She is on duty in Los Gatos," Feng Yiping said.

This was also Ma Ling's initiative.

Originally, Feng Yiping hoped that she could come, even if she stayed in the buildings allocated to YouTube?

But she refused.

Silicon Valley is so big, and Huang Jingping has already met three times, not to mention the NEXTDOOR campus?

"What a pity, when can I meet this girl who made you always miss her?" Mayer raised his glass and gestured to Huang Jingping upstairs, but what he said was, "I am also curious, in what ways is Miss Ma Ling better than me,"

Feng Yiping, who was originally in a heavy mood, was a little disappointed at this time. This is really tireless.

"Let me tell you, "Today Show" contacted me yesterday, hoping that I can take time to appear on their show,"

"Congratulations," Feng Yiping said.

Although Feng Yiping has been on several famous talk shows in the United States, including the world's number one "Oprah Show", he has long been very unimpressed by Mayer's invitation to show off.

But for most Americans, being invited to be a guest on a well-known talk show like "Today Show" is definitely a recognition of one's identity and status.

"Newsweek is also contacting me for an interview. In addition, there are the New York Daily, HSD Post, San Francisco, Vogue, etc.," Mayer said a long list of well-known media, and it seems that she has reached the peak of her life.

"Congratulations," Feng Yiping said.

He is really happy to see this situation.

The higher the popularity of Mayer now, the more additional effects she will bring when she takes charge of Gain Capital USA in the future.

"So, be proud," Mayer said.

Proud? Feng Yiping was stunned, why?

"Time magazine said that I can definitely be included in the top ten technology leaders of the future, and HSD Post said that I am one of the fifteen women worth paying attention to..., think about it, a beautiful woman like me has been chasing you for such a long time, shouldn't you be proud?"

You really don't say, what she said seems to make some sense.

Seeing Feng Yiping's stunned look, Mayer was a little proud, "This attitude is not bad,"

But it seems that something is wrong, he is not looking at himself.

She followed Feng Yiping's gaze and saw an old woman in a black suit with a big smile on her face. She was shaking hands or chatting with many guests who came to congratulate her. Her every move was very powerful.

If Mayer is now at the peak of her life, then this woman has been at the peak of her life for many years. She is recognized by many people as the queen of Silicon Valley and one of the most powerful women in the world.

"Why is she here?" Feng Yiping muttered in a low voice.

At this time, the woman, who was already accompanied by Cummins, walked towards this side with a smile, "Hello Feng,"

"Hello Ms. Whitman," Feng Yiping also smiled brightly.

The person who came was Meg Whitman, the president of eBay.

"A very good campus, a very good party, and especially a very good time," Whitman said.

The words were very good, but perhaps because of the previous disputes, Feng Yiping always felt that when she said these words, she had a condescending attitude of "I am very optimistic about you."

"I'm glad you like it. I'm glad we have the same views on some issues. I was also worried that you might not be used to some of the practices of our young people,"

"I'm even happier that I finally have the honor of working in the same field in China with an outstanding person like you,"

Whitman was obviously stunned for a moment, but soon, she pointed at Feng Yiping and laughed, looking very happy.

Aren't you showing off your seniority to me? What's the use? At least in China, I, a young man, have already beaten you, the old wave, on the beach in a way you are not used to.

Seeing her laugh, Feng Yiping also laughed.

In the eyes of the people around them, this scene seemed to be very harmonious and very close to Feng Yiping.

But in fact, this was their first meeting. Feng Yiping knew her because he had seen her photos on the Internet, and Whitman probably knew her the same way.

And their relationship was really, quite bad.

I guess Whitman hated Feng Yiping a lot in private, and Feng Yiping himself seemed to refer to Whitman as "that vicious old woman" in his heart a few times.

Mayer, who was standing next to her, was still chewing over their conversation. Although she didn't quite understand it yet, she instinctively felt that there seemed to be another meaning in what the two had just said.

On the contrary, Huang Jingping, who was standing upstairs, saw the smile on Feng Yiping's face and knew clearly that he and the lady who had just come in were not getting along.

Because in front of a true friend, he would never put on this fake smile.

"Who is that?" she asked Lisa.

"She is Whitman, the president of eBay," Lisa did not add any modifiers, because she also knew the conflict between eBay and Gain Capital.

"So it was her," Huang Jingping finally understood.

"Thank you for coming," Feng Yiping looked at Whitman's famous smile seriously. Don't say, if you don't consider her appearance, her smile really has the charm of Shirley Temple.

However, no matter what Whitman's real purpose of this visit was - most likely she would not come to congratulate sincerely, he didn't have time to deal with her now, it was time for him to give a speech.

Yes, he really didn't expect that Whitman would come in person.

In other words, when the invitations were sent out, he was reluctant to send them to Whitman. He had long been qualified to have a temper in front of anyone, and he had long been qualified to follow his own temper and do whatever he wanted in many cases. A handful, or a few handfuls.

It was Cummins who did his job. It’s hard to follow the truth. All partners and well-known companies in Silicon Valley have sent invitations, so it’s not easy to leave her alone. She must be generous and send out invitations. It won't come... Feng Yiping felt that what he said was somewhat reasonable. Men should be generous.

Who knew, she would just come!

So, this woman's heart is like a needle on the seabed, you really can't guess it.

…………

In the exhibition hall, energetic and dynamic music suddenly sounded. Everyone was stunned for a moment. When they looked again, they saw Feng Yiping walking vigorously onto the stage that had been set up, followed by several familiar executives behind him.

The walls around the podium and behind were covered with colorful ribbons. The smiling Feng Yiping had just stood in Taichung when the music suddenly stopped, "Dear distinguished guests, friends, and colleagues," he put his hands on the podium. , prepared to give a welcome speech, but as soon as he started, he was interrupted.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute," said Whitman in the crowd, raising her hands.
