Chapter 1708: Running-In

People with unique insights and humor will be welcomed wherever they go. Besides, they even set up street stalls in the past, so Lao Ma was naturally open to it, so within a few minutes, Mike and the others were exchanging contact information with Lao Ma.

However, when Lao Ma and Feng Yiping entered the study, they were a little confused. Didn't Jack not work in the company? Why did Feng seem to be very close to him and he was still very respectful to Feng?

It's normal for them to have such questions. Even Cummins doesn't know about some things in the country.

"Zucker," Sandberg called Zuckerberg. Seeing that he didn't seem to react, she patted him on the shoulder, "What are you looking at?"

"Ah, it's nothing," Zuckerberg looked away from the people on the other side, a little embarrassed, "What did you say?"

Sandberg glanced over there and smiled, "Let's continue the meeting."

These people who have not yet made a name for themselves have no acquaintances to visit them at this time, and they happen to have time to hold a meeting and discuss.

"Okay," Zuckerberg turned his attention back temporarily and followed Sandberg toward their room.

The three of them have reached a consensus on some issues at this time, that is, Facebook can definitely launch a question and answer function, and it will be a question and answer function with its own characteristics.

Just like the analogy Zach made before, when you first come to Davos and want to know about the best local restaurants, you don’t actually need to answer the question. The system can recommend the most liked restaurants nearby to the questioner.

The difference lies in the Tieba business.

From Sandberg's perspective, she feels that products that can not only attract traffic but also promote in-depth communication among users should be welcomed with open arms, but the other two, mainly Zuckerberg, have different opinions.

"Products with this function can indeed bring a lot of help to Facebook, but as Feng often emphasizes, we must pay attention to looking at the problem from both sides,"

Sandberg couldn't help but rolled his eyes a little, you even moved the boss out.

"Then let's look at this problem from the opposite perspective," Xiao Zha is also a very serious advocate. "We all know that Facebook is an open product, but this post bar is essentially closed. This is why I object to putting Tieba on Facebook,"

"Why is it closed? Isn't it possible for each of us to be a member of a celebrity bar or a geek bar?"

Sandberg, who was not tall, put one hand on his hip and waved the other in the air, looking very excited, "There are many other members such as football, basketball, striptease..., these bar members?"

She seemed really excited, not only did she speak in a short voice, but in the example she gave, she even said striptease.

"As long as we are interested, can we all join? How can this be considered closed?"

"And we all know that this is an application that can easily generate benefits and can also accumulate a large amount of very mining data for us,"

This is of course self-evident, otherwise, Du Niang would not think of selling some post bars later, would she?

We all know that Xiao Zha is also a person with a relatively clear brain circuit. He doesn't care whether Sandberg is excited or not. He is always very calm. As soon as the words stop, he is ready to refute.

At this time, Mike patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Zach,"

Zuckerberg was stunned for a moment, "What? Oh,"

Sandberg also calmed down after seeing this scene. "I'm sorry, sorry," she smiled, "I wasn't very calm just now and became a little impatient. This is an old problem of mine. If there is one thing that has not been solved, , I could easily become like this,"

"Next time if this happens, please remind me in person," she said with a self-deprecating smile as she sat down next to Zuckerberg. "Indeed, what you said makes sense."

"Water," Zuckerberg handed her a glass of water.

Although they had only been together for a few hours, they had already become somewhat in tune with each other.

He originally had some feelings for Sandberg because he knew that his good friend Saverin, although he didn't say it now, had always regarded Facebook's COO as his goal.

Of course, although privately, he supported his old friend's ambition, if he were to decide this matter, he would not actually put Saverin in the position of COO.

Although he is a technical genius, he does not know anything about business. He knows very well that in such decisions, the interests and needs of the company must be taken into consideration, and personal preferences and feelings are insignificant.

Sandberg's performance in the past few hours has conquered him.

Although her shortcomings are obvious, such as she was not calm enough just now, or seemed a little impatient, her business insights are not only outstanding, but also very systematic. In this regard, she is far inferior to her current self.

Her cheerful and cheerful personality also adds a lot of points to her. Zuckerberg believes that other managers, especially female managers, will definitely care about you pointing out some of her problems in person, but she insists on this. Welcoming attitude, and not fake at all.

"NEXTDOOR's various sub-sites are also closed to each other. From this point of view, I think Tieba, a product, is more suitable for NEXTDOOR," Mike also stood by Xiao Zha's side.

"Your views do make sense," Sandberg nodded. "It's just that it doesn't mean that Facebook can't develop products of the same nature in the future, right?" She smiled again.

"Cummins and the others are really good," Lao Ma said, standing on the closed balcony outside the study, looking at the snowy Davos outside. "It is the first time that many of our domestic companies can organize such an all-round and efficient international team. dream,"

"Drink tea," Feng Yiping handed him a cup of tea. "For a company founded in the United States, this is not a difficult task."

"Yes, it's not difficult. It's not difficult to start a company in the United States. But how many Americans can do it in Silicon Valley, let alone us foreigners?"

"Haha, what you said makes me quite proud," Feng Yiping smiled.

"You have every reason to be proud," Lao Ma said. "But after one level, there are some things that will require you to spend more energy to deal with."

"As long as you feel the need, it will be effective, no problem at all,"

Jiasheng Mall is now steadily rising and developing very well. It has launched same-day delivery services in several big cities. More and more people should have realized the convenience and economy of online shopping. The current business in this area , growing rapidly.

Overall, the development of the mall has exceeded his expectations. He doesn't know what problems Lao Ma needs him to spend more energy on.

"The warehousing and logistics network we are planning to build across the country will be of great benefit to our company and society, both in the short term and in the long term. However, the investment in this work will not be enough." It’s not a small amount, either.”

"I know," Feng Yiping nodded. With the power of an enterprise to complete something that, to put it bluntly, can be regarded as a national strategy, the investment cannot be small.

For this reason, he felt it might finally be time to seek bank financing again.

"But there are no ways to reduce our investment," Lao Ma said. "We all know your influence, and we can all imagine that if you come forward to explain this project to the local government where we want to build a storage center, I think it can still get strong local support for its prospects and significance.”

"I think we should get some free land. That is, areas that do not provide free land will also provide a series of conveniences in terms of location, price, and related facilities, including financing packages."

What Lao Ma said clearly was to ask Feng Yiping to clean his face. At this moment, he really couldn't do it himself.

"We also know that facilities like this built in local areas will also need their support in terms of public security, fire protection, etc., so I think it is really necessary for you to go around the country,"

"No problem," Feng Yiping agreed readily. He was doing his part in this matter. "Are there any other questions?"

"Others, oh, I really have a small question. A total of 16 companies from China are here this time. Tonight, everyone wants to get together with you," Lao Ma said.

"More than 1,000 people attended the meeting, and there were only 16 domestic companies," Feng Yiping said with emotion.

"This is indeed not commensurate with our economic strength. There are more than 50 companies in India," Lao Ma said.

"The main thing is awareness. I have been here for a few years and have gained a lot. But many people still don't understand how many new ideas and how many people can be gained on such a platform where you can communicate face-to-face with the world's top entrepreneurs." new friend,"

"It is indeed a matter of consciousness," Feng Yiping agreed with Lao Ma's judgment.

Although participating in the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting requires a membership fee of US$10,000, plus round-trip air tickets, and five days of food and accommodation, which does not add up to a small sum, such an opportunity is indeed very rare.

"I think this situation will change soon." When was the domestic Summer Davos Forum established? Shouldn't it be soon?

"I hope so. In short, all the companions who came together today hope to meet you. You see, it is not easy to meet you in ordinary times," Lao Ma laughed.

"Just go and be honest, I really don't like this kind of social interaction,"

"Look, you are inconsistent, aren't you? You think more domestic companies should come, but they come and want to meet you, but you are not happy," Lao Ma said.

"You are trying to change the concept. I hope that my colleagues in China can come here to make new friends. More importantly, I can come here and hear what outstanding colleagues from other countries in the world think."

"You are the best colleague," Lao Ma said. "What kind of clique is this? It's just a rare opportunity for everyone to meet together. Of course, of course, they all hope that you can talk about it. But if you really don’t want to, it doesn’t matter if you don’t say it.”

"But you must go and have a seat. I heard that they have prepared authentic Chinese food through local friends. How about it? Not interested yet?"

"As I just mentioned, I made an appointment to meet some Indian friends tonight,"

So these temporary, unscheduled meeting requests sometimes do make people feel a little embarrassed.

"Then take them with you," Lao Ma said without hesitation.

"Yiping, I know, and everyone knows, that you have never liked various circles. This is right. You don't need any business opportunities that may exist in any circle,"

"In this case, it is better to spend less time on maintaining those circles and relationships. When necessary, do business and discuss cooperation with everyone in a clear and refreshing manner,"

Lao Ma obviously understands Feng Yiping.

Feng Yiping has never received any support from anyone since the beginning of his business. Of course, that should be because he doesn't want such support. In short, he is one of the few people who succeeded completely on his own. Lao Ma admires and envies this.

Favors, whether in life or business, will inevitably become debts in the end.

"But sometimes, it doesn't hurt to get closer to everyone and listen to their ideas, right? Don't you think so?"

"If you always keep your distance and tell the truth, you may leave people with a somewhat arrogant impression. Of course, you have the qualifications to be arrogant, but wouldn't it be better to socialize occasionally so that people don't have such thoughts?"

"Lao Ma, this is a mature statement. Okay, I'll listen to you,"
