Chapter 1944 A Sudden Show of Goodwill
“Seeing is better than hearing once,” was the first thought of everyone on the film crew after arriving at NEXTDOOR Park for the first time.
This is indeed a park that makes them feel novel, especially the openness and freedom of the entire park, which is far beyond their expectations.
It is not that they have not heard of these characteristics of Silicon Valley before, including some domestic Internet companies, and they have heard that they have also learned from the model here, but for some things, piracy and original versions, hearing about it and seeing it with their own eyes are really two different things.
They have been to Feng Yiping's Jiasheng Business District in the capital more than once. There are also parts open to the public, including Meijia Furniture Supermarket and Jiasheng Holiday Hotel.
But there are not as many restaurants and cafes there as there are here.
On the way in, they counted roughly and saw four restaurants. Judging from the pictures on the signboards, they were really as diverse as the people they saw on the way in.
During working hours, there are so many guys downstairs in the company who look like they are killing time?
There are so many leisurely and contented people, coupled with the large lawns here and the casual-style chairs everywhere, it really makes people doubt that this is definitely not a park?
Or is this a community?
They had already seen a pet care center, and there was another one under construction over there, but this time, judging from the pictures, it was obviously a child care center.
So, this seems to be some of the old state-owned enterprises in China. Are there any old state-owned enterprises that have their own equipment from shops to schools, including hospitals?
However, there is no level difference like that in state-owned enterprises that you can feel everywhere.
Feng Yiping led them through the crowd. You can feel the love those people have for Feng Yiping. However, it is really difficult to find the kind of flattery that the average company employee has for the big boss, which combines many factors, let alone rushing to be there. Various performances in front of him.
Their greetings to Feng Yiping were more similar to the greetings between friends, cordial and equal.
And this kind of general atmosphere is easy to blend into. Zhou Ning feels that although he respects his leaders very much now and will definitely try his best to behave in front of them, if he works here, he will not be able to do it in a few days. They will also be assimilated by them.
When you see your boss, you either turn a blind eye to him because you are immersed in your own world, or you simply say, "Hi."
So, another question is, can I give up everything I have in front of me to embrace such a seemingly free and happy work and life?
The answer is undoubtedly no.
Zhou Ning, who has entered the workplace, believes that no matter where in this world, for ordinary people, the rewards must be less than the efforts.
These objects, who are probably the envy of many people in the country, must also be facing tremendous pressure that they are unaware of, or cannot understand.
It's like everyone only sees Feng Yiping's glory and wealth, but doesn't realize how hard he works behind the scenes.
"Oh," many people who walked into the building exclaimed. They saw the assistants downstairs who could be called "tuan", and then looked at the other settings here. Could it be that this four-story building is just like this? Exclusively for Feng Yiping?
What they saw later confirmed their suspicion that this was indeed Feng Yiping's exclusive office building.
Of course, this doesn't seem to be a luxury.
I heard that in some places, a department-level official's office, in addition to the one in the agency, would also have luxury suites in hotels, and villas...
But their work is definitely not as busy as Feng Yiping.
As soon as I arrived at the office today, there were various meetings.
Whether these meetings are face-to-face with people at the conference table, in the lounge, in the garden downstairs, or on the phone or via video conference, they can only film them from a distance.
Although the image of Feng Yiping when working like this is very different from the normal Feng Yiping, these meetings were so numerous that even Zhou Ning and the others found them a bit boring.
Will he stay in the office all day?
Didn’t he hold a position at Google? Didn’t he have a very good relationship with Steve Jobs? Don't you plan to visit those two families and meet them?
Zhou Ning believes that if there is a scene of Feng Yiping meeting those three people on the show, the audience will be very excited. Then his ratings will be guaranteed, right?
In fact, Feng Yiping really needs to go to Google as soon as possible, but even if he goes, he is not prepared to let the camera crew accompany him.
How could he now think about increasing his attention through meetings with other people?
He really cared about this new program that he actually proposed, but if they still couldn't produce a wonderful program despite being given such a good opportunity, then it would be useless for him to care.
…………
More and more people started to have lunch downstairs. When Zhou Ning and the others couldn't help but discuss which restaurant in the park they could try later and whether they could eat for free, they unexpectedly received the news. When the notice arrived, Feng Yiping wanted to treat them to dinner at noon, and it would be at an outside restaurant.
When they discovered that the "restaurant outside" turned out to be the garden-style Mantingfang restaurant that had been reported in China, they immediately knew that this program had another highlight.
Bringing Chinese food to the United States, not only to represent our image, but also in a unique and elegant way, is believed to be the simple idea of many ordinary people who see more and more high-end Western restaurants.
And our steamed buns can at least be sold at a price similar to that of hamburgers in the United States, which is also the simple idea of many ordinary people who feel pain in their stomachs after eating Western food for a few days.
Now, Feng Yiping is anxious about their needs and has opened such a restaurant in the United States, and he also intends to make it a chain in the United States.
So, this place must be photographed well.
This place is also worth photographing.
Everyone looked at the Chinese-style houses that were transported thousands of miles from China and then rebuilt as they were, looked at the gardens that felt familiar and inexplicably friendly at first glance, and looked at the many buildings that obviously represented the high level of ancient buildings in China... This richest man Feng is indeed the richest man Feng, and he can play with everything differently from others.
"Yiping," Wu Xinyang, who was wearing a uniform, hurried over.
I don't know what happened. Although she had wisely given up those thoughts, when Huang Jingping was not around, she always felt that the sky seemed to be bluer and the air was filled with joy when she met Feng Yiping.
"Please take good care of everyone at CCTV," Feng Yiping told her. "Sorry, I have a few more appointments for lunch," he did not forget to explain to Zhou Ning and the others.
"Everyone, please follow me," Wu Xinyang smiled and led the group of compatriots inside. "All the ancient buildings we see are the work of first-class domestic experts..."
When introducing them to everyone, she couldn't help but look back at Feng Yiping.
…………
Feng Yiping had an appointment here at noon today with several other shareholders of Tesla. This is a company in the NEXTDOOR park that he treats differently. After all, these four people today are not all working for him.
"Feng, judging from the current situation, our research and development is indeed becoming more and more difficult," Martin Eberhard said just after two dishes were served.
"I understand," Feng Yiping nodded, "Does this mean that our research and development has actually reached a critical point? Once these works make progress, we will have a major breakthrough?"
"Feng, you are right," said CTO Straw, "The problem is that we are not sure how long it will take to change the current situation."
"I think we are fully prepared for this, right? Oh, sorry, I have to take a call," Feng Yiping took his mobile phone and walked downstairs, and answered the call by the fountain, "Hello Mayer,"
"Hi," Mayer's voice was very loud, "I want to inform you that tonight, all your arrangements have been postponed because I have made arrangements for you,"
"What? Hello?" Feng Yiping looked at the phone, and the other party had really hung up.
What's going on?
He was about to call back to ask what was going on, and a voice that he was somewhat familiar with came over, "Feng?"
He looked back and saw that it was Whitman from eBay, with a smile on his face as if he had met an old friend.
