Chapter 1699: Another Win
On the 24th, the originally not busy airport in San Jose suddenly became busy. The parking lot that had been quite empty was now full of cars, most of which were SUVs, and some seats were hard to find.
Passengers on civil aviation flights will see many sturdy and vigilant men standing with their hands folded in various places in the airport. Behind them, there will be a few people in casual clothes, who may still be meeting with their entourage, or chatting and laughing with one or several people who seem to be of equal status.
Feng Yiping is very eye-catching among these people. He is not only the youngest one, but also the one with the brightest and most distinctive clothes.
He is wearing a blue plaid casual suit, which is definitely a breath of fresh air among the many men wearing black, gray and blue.
His age and temperament just happen to fit this fresh color, which is something that other guys can't envy.
Schmidt, who was with him, sighed several times in his heart, being young is good!
Many of the CEOs who were also going to Davos had the same mood as Schmidt. Usually, they envied Feng Yiping's achievements in business, but at this moment, they all envied Feng Yiping's youth.
Feng Yiping walked around a little and chatted briefly with several CEOs who were also familiar with him. He was about to sit down next to Cummins and be a quiet handsome man, when another group of people came in.
The leader was a middle-aged lady in a black suit, who walked in with big strides and was very imposing.
She greeted several well-known CEOs and happened to see Feng Yiping, who was turning his face to the side, as if concentrating on admiring a Bombardier Challenger taking off, and stopped.
"Hi, Feng, you are so handsome today,"
Feng Yiping turned his head helplessly, "Hello Whitman,"
To be honest, he really hoped to have less dealings with this middle-aged woman.
This person's revenge made him have to confront her sometimes, but he was really reluctant to do such a thing.
From the results, it seems that the original Ma likes to have trouble with the well-known female CEOs in Silicon Valley, first Meg Whitman who was in charge of eBay, and later Carol Bartz who was in charge of Yahoo. As the winner of the May Fourth Medal of China Youth and an outstanding youth, Feng Yiping really doesn't want this.
Even if the other party is called the Queen of Silicon Valley by many people, she is still a woman. Dealing with her, even if he has the upper hand, can't bring him much pride and sense of accomplishment.
It's more interesting to deal with Bezos, sometimes cooperating, sometimes calculating each other.
Besides, no matter how successful this woman is, she can't avoid being petty in some things.
Take Whitman's words, which seem to be nothing wrong, but how could Feng Yiping not sense the meaning of her words?
Can't you just walk away quietly and know what's interesting?
If it's one of your fans who says you are handsome, there will be no other meaning, but if a CEO of a well-known company says he is handsome, this is definitely not something Feng Yiping can accept with a smile. I can achieve greater success than you because of my ability.
Sure enough, Whitman went on to say, "No wonder your social networking site is so popular among young people."
"Well, my personal image and my knowledge have indeed attracted a lot of young people to pay attention to our excellent products."
Since she implied that she was so successful only because of her good image, Feng Yiping simply admitted that her image had brought benefits to her entrepreneurship.
However, those who like my social networking site are not only young people, but also people of all ages, and not just individuals, but also many institutions and companies.
Of course, Feng Yiping was too lazy to talk to Whitman about these things.
Whitman vaguely regretted looking for Feng Yiping again.
In several direct and indirect confrontations with Feng Yiping, whether it was commercial competition or verbal confrontation, she really didn't take advantage of anything.
But because of this, as soon as she had the opportunity, she always wanted to win back a city.
Although she reminded herself again and again to ignore his age and not to treat him as a young man, every time she saw him, seeing how young, gentle and quiet he was, Whitman, who had been working in the workplace for longer than Feng Yiping, could not help but feel that she had advantages in all aspects.
Then, she subconsciously said something and did something.
She also knew that the words she blurted out just now were somewhat teasing, deliberately denying Feng Yiping's excellent comprehensive ability and emphasizing his appearance, which would indeed make people feel uncomfortable.
However, before she could say anything else, Feng Yiping's next words came again.
"Just like your famous smile, Whitman," Feng Yiping still couldn't help but ridicule her tit for tat.
Whitman is famous in the high-tech circle for her Shirley Temple-like smile, and has attracted many fans because of it.
Whitman couldn't laugh again.
It is understandable that a young man in his twenties relies on his outstanding image to add points to his career, but if a person who is almost fifty years old still relies on his smile to improve his work performance, then this is a very sad thing, and this is also a very sad person.
Whitman was filled with hatred in his heart. This guy is really a vicious guy! Do I still need to sell smiles when I am in my current position?
She looked around, at the guys who unconsciously glanced over here - the things between her and Feng Yiping were no secret among the insiders in Silicon Valley. Seeing them get together again, many people were interested in this place.
Looking at the guys' expressions like watching a play, she forced a smile again - it was not good to let people see that she was at a disadvantage in this confrontation, "So it seems that we have a lot in common,"
"No, in many ways, I'm not as good as you," Feng Yiping also said with a smile, "For example, I'm not as energetic as you,"
This is a good thing to say, but Whitman also keenly felt that Feng Yiping looked at her face a few times when he said this.
Her eye bags were big, her nasolabial folds were deep, and her facial muscles were a little loose. He said that he was not as energetic as her. What else could it be but a sarcastic remark?
She really misunderstood. Feng Yiping said this, and he really didn't mean to allude to her appearance. No matter how angry he was, he couldn't say such a thing to someone he didn't like.
He felt that Whitman was still not young, and the traces of time could be seen directly from her face, but she could still maintain her current mental state, which was really good.
Of course, he also implied that your personal state was very energetic, but your company's performance did not look energetic.
So, Whitman completely misunderstood, but her understanding made her even more annoyed.
Even though she was almost 50 years old, even though she hoped that her employees and competitors would ignore her gender at work, she was still a woman.
For a woman - even an older woman, nothing could make her more angry than someone laughing at her appearance in person.
Whitman rolled up her sleeves involuntarily, but did not do anything else - this was a public place, and she reluctantly nodded to Feng Yiping and finally walked away from him.
This made Feng Yiping a little confused, and you won't say a few more words to me? He smiled and waved his hand.
At this moment, those guys who were watching the situation here immediately came to a conclusion. It seemed that Feng Yiping had the upper hand again in this game.
"Hi," Schmidt came over with a smile. He looked at Whitman's stern face and her deliberate unwillingness to look at him, and said to Feng Yiping, "Be more generous."
"Do you think that some people will be satisfied if they just give in?" Feng Yiping said.
He knew very well that if he ignored Whitman's provocation or attack generously, it would not reduce the occurrence of similar incidents in the future. On the contrary, it would make her more aggressive.
Only when they confronted each other, she would be able to restrain herself.
Schmidt felt that Feng Yiping was really an aggressive person in many cases. He shook his head, "I have to go in now. See you in Zurich."
This time, he took the newly renovated Google One, which was the second-hand 757 that Page and his team had renovated. In addition to the Google people, Cummins also brought several people to ride with him, because Feng Yiping brought more than 20 people this time, and his Gulfstream could not accommodate them at all.
"Have a safe trip, see you in Zurich,"
Over there, Whitman raised her head and folded her hands, glancing sideways, her expression was very different from the gentleness she usually showed in public.
