Chapter 1739 Accident

It doesn’t seem like a good idea to come to Paris on the last day of January, especially when it’s still raining in Paris.

It was quite cold, about below zero degrees, so many Parisians, as if by appointment, all wore black coats, looking dark.

Where is the so-called fashion capital and romantic capital?

At around 3 o’clock, when Feng Yiping inspected the Facebook branch in La Defense, it was almost dark.

As a country in Europe that is well known for not liking English, Facebook’s popularity in France is no less than that of the United Kingdom, which has a special historical relationship with the United States and is the most important English-speaking country in Europe.

“We need to focus highly on the user experience, that is, all the characteristics of the French people when they go online, their favorite colors, fonts, emoticons..., and on this basis, we will come up with our French version,”

“For the final version, I have only one requirement: not even a punctuation mark, not even a button, is redundant, and not unsatisfactory to users,”

He said briefly to the assembled employees.

Regarding Skype, many domestic netizens, including him, feel a little sorry. With such a good foundation, why can’t it become a company like Penguin?

In addition to the many similar products abroad, we can roughly cite three, ICQ, MSN, AOL, each of which can be simple.

Secondly, their product development, although they may say so and emphasize so much, really does not pay too much attention to user experience.

This is the first thing he hopes his Facebook will learn from.

The French local team headed by Alfonso attached great importance to the speech of this young boss.

Because they know that although this person himself does not understand technology, those currently popular products are only launched to the market after his approval, that is, his affirmation is actually equivalent to the guarantee of success.

Then his request, "Your requirements are the direction of our efforts," said Alfonso, who was wearing a green suit that impressed Feng Yiping.

"The current office area is not very satisfactory. I hope everyone can overcome this. Of course, we are still looking for a larger and more suitable office location," Mike, the CEO, also expressed his opinion.

As we all know, the office space in Paris is really tight. In terms of the number of people involved in the high-tech industry, it is comparable to London, both of which are more than 300,000, but the office space available for rent in London is more than ten times that of Paris.

They still hope to bring the office culture of Silicon Valley like other companies in Silicon Valley, but the narrow space here is not enough to show it.

"Does it have to be an office building?" Alfonso asked when he sent them downstairs.

"Of course not, as long as it is big enough, spacious enough, and has the possibility and potential for transformation," Mike said.

"I see," Alfonso nodded, as if he had some ideas. He helped Feng Yiping open the car door, and the group went to the Jules Verne restaurant on the Eiffel Tower.

Along the way, he spoke about the scenery along the way and various allusions in fluent English in a very interesting and vivid way, which made Feng Yiping nod secretly. This is a guy who loves his own nation very much and knows his own nation very well. He is born with a lot of romance and enthusiasm unique to the French.

When choosing such a person to come back to be responsible for local promotion, I have to say that Mike really chose the right person.

He didn't know when the original Facebook started to set up outlets around the world and launch other versions of products, but he felt that since he had sufficient human, material and financial resources, it would obviously only benefit to start preparing now.

Now, his definition of leading may be different from the general sense.

He hopes to lead in that all competitors, whether they are the first or the last, can see him, but they can never catch up with him.

At present, while Myspace and others are still competing for users in the United States, Feng Yiping hopes that his Facebook can circle all the lands around the world step by step.

"I hope to bring you here to enjoy the scenery of Paris at another more suitable time," Alfonso said apologetically after sitting down at the window seat in the restaurant.

"No, it's rare to see Paris in such weather,"

It was just after 5 pm, and Paris was already brightly lit, but because of the rain and fog, it looked a little hazy, as if it was a little unreal, which was more in line with her temperament.

However, Feng Yiping looked at the men and women at the table and really hoped that someone else could be dining with him.

Those things, oh!

…………

On the other side of the ocean, Los Angeles, under the sunshine, has already started a new day with full energy.

Many handsome men and beautiful women who dream of becoming stars have been serving coffee in the cafe for at least two hours. They are so tired that they don’t expect that there will be a customer with a pair of eyes that can recognize pearls and see that they fit the image of a character in his movie.

Those who are still holding on to their dreams and have some money in their pockets to support them, finished their morning exercise, searched for some food in the refrigerator, and started calling people one by one.

Although as usual, the calls they made were usually left with messages.

There are also some lucky ones who happen to have one or more auditions today. At this time, they must be reciting the lines in the script, practicing in front of the mirror, and putting on clothes.

Maybe, these people who are still unknown today can be noticed by one of the many casting directors among countless candidates with shining eyes, and finally they can get a role by luck.

But because this is not an important role, his/her lucky journey may come to an abrupt end.

It is also possible that some people who have not performed real works before suddenly have good luck on this day and get an important role they have dreamed of, and from then on they soar into the sky and have a bright star path.

In short, Los Angeles is a place that makes you feel the magic of fate.

But since there may be the birth of new stars, there must be corresponding falls.

…………

When many people in the same city are already working hard for the future, the curtains of many bedrooms in Beverly Hills, the most dazzling place in Los Angeles at night, are still tightly closed.

Those who have already made a name for themselves, or at least have already made a name for themselves, have successfully established themselves in this city, but have no work today, are mostly sleeping soundly with eye masks on.

Whether they are stars, famous directors, famous producers, or famous screenwriters..., they are all party animals, and the variety of Los Angeles night parties is really beyond the imagination of most people.

How can you get up at this time after having so much fun at night?

This is the case with Sharon Stone, who just came back from Davos.

During the days in Davos, she was always holding back. As expected, she played all night last night. By the way, she was able to sleep in her bedroom at this time, which is a very good performance.

The maid in uniform walked into the bedroom filled with strong smell of alcohol without changing her expression, and pushed her shoulder, "Ms. Stone, Ms. Stone,"

Until the fifth push, Sharon Stone finally opened her eyes. The maid was a little afraid to look at her face that had not been made up after staying up all night, "Miss Silas is here, she said it's urgent,"

"Yeah,"

After this "Yeah", it was almost an hour later, she came downstairs in a nightgown, holding the stairs with her hands, yawning, "Hi Karen,"

Her agent, Karen Silas, had finished three cups of coffee at this time, and was walking back and forth on the thick carpet in the living room, "You finally got up,"

"What's wrong? Didn't we postpone all the recent work?" Sharon Stone said indifferently.

Although she has not had any eye-catching works recently and is a little out of date now, she has won the Golden Globe Award and been nominated for an Oscar. She is at least at the top of the food chain in Hollywood, and she still has no worries about the opportunity to get a job.

"It's those jobs that went wrong," Karen Sellars said.

"How is that possible?" Sharon Stone was stunned, her hand tilted, and half a cup of coffee spilled on her thigh...

ps: This is the first time I feel that a cold can be so severe. It recurred this morning. Now my head hurts so badly and I feel dizzy. I still have to go to the hospital later. I guess the update tomorrow morning will still be tomorrow morning. Please forgive me.
