Chapter 1948 Thinking About Clothes Day and Night

Whitman paused for a moment, smiled, but did not look back.

Humph, although I need your help now, there is no possibility of such an exchange.

Similarly, we cannot help our competitors.

Even if Feng Yiping did not say it, they also knew that his e-commerce business would inevitably expand globally in the future.

His social products and video services already have so many users around the world. With his vision and ability, he would not make good use of such an enviable advantage? No wonder!

But after she walked a distance, she couldn't help but look back. Feng Yiping was no longer visible by the lake.

Whitman was disappointed. He told him such an important thing, but he didn't even think about it for a while?

So, is the next acquisition of Skype only a head-on confrontation with Feng Yiping?

This is a bit troublesome.

Based on the analysis of all the current factors, if Feng Yiping does not cooperate, the difficulty of eBay's acquisition of Skype will increase by more than one order of magnitude.

And this is something they are very reluctant to see, as they have already regarded Skype as a weapon for upward advancement.

Perhaps Feng Yiping still couldn't let go of his previous provocations. This was bad news and good news.

If so, it meant that although he had a good vision, he was not professional enough. This alone was fatal at times.

Another possibility that Whitman was not willing to accept was that pure cash income was indeed difficult to impress Feng Yiping.

But PayPal? This was impossible!

…………

Feng Yiping was walking on the stone path of the rockery at this time, with brisk steps.

In the surrounding restaurants, sporadic laughter came from the surrounding restaurants. Because the sound was very light, looming, and sometimes absent, it sounded like the laughter suppressed in the heart.

During the European trip after the World Economic Forum, when he met with Niklas Zennstrom in Luxembourg, he knew clearly that he was obviously interested in cashing out Skype.

Feng Yiping could probably guess why he did this.

Although the rapid growth of Skype's users must have been beyond Zennstrom's expectations, he obviously had a very clear understanding of Skype's future development.

He should know clearly that Skype alone will find it difficult to achieve profitability, even if the number of users increases several times in the future.

The very small part of the paid business can hardly support the hardware and bandwidth investment brought about by the surge in the number of users, as well as other related expenses, including the high expenses caused by the inevitable increase in manpower.

Feng Yiping is not very clear about why Skype has such a large number of users, but it has not been profitable? Why can't it learn from our big penguin?

But he feels that he doesn't need to think about this in detail.

Because whether it is Zennstrom, eBay, which acquired it, or Microsoft, which finally acquired it, they are not stupid. It is impossible for them not to see its similar characteristics to the penguin. I believe they have made efforts in this regard, but obviously, they did not succeed in the end.

So, it can only be said that some successes are indeed not replicable.

Therefore, for him, he only needs to know that eBay's acquisition of Skype is the most unreliable acquisition in the history of technology.

Cashing out at this time should also be a good choice.

The better news is that eBay seems to be really determined to acquire Skype, and even Whitman took the initiative to bow down in front of him.

And it seems that they are quite afraid of him, which is good!

This can obviously be reflected in the acquisition price very directly.

How many times has Whitman provoked him before? She must make every provocation very expensive.

The investment of 8 million US dollars in 2003, now it seems that it must be at least 30 times more!

Of course, if eBay can use its determination to win and successfully invest in PayPal, it will be a pleasant surprise.

Unlike Skype, which looks beautiful, although it has not developed much in China, PayPal is actually really beautiful. As a third-party payment tool, it has achieved great success in Europe and the United States, and it has made a lot of money just by collecting fees.

Or it can be said that eBay's acquisition of PayPal is no less than Yahoo's investment in Alibaba.

"Feng," as soon as the waiter opened the door, he found that the people in the room all looked at him.

"Are you okay?" Eberhard asked.

"It's okay, you guys," he looked at the dishes on the table, "you didn't eat much?"

"We have been watching you, ready to rush down and pull you apart at any time," Mark Tarpenning said, "We all know your relationship with Ms. Whitman, and you looked very angry just now,"

My acting skills look so good? I'm proud!

"I said Feng wouldn't do anything radical," ** Straubel said, "because no matter from which angle, Feng is a winner in front of her,"

"Thank you for your concern, it's really nothing," Feng Yiping raised his glass and gestured to everyone.

It's not that it's okay, just suppressing it and not letting my happiness show, it's really uncomfortable.

"It's good that everything is fine," Eberhard clinked glasses with him, "But, is it really fine? You looked really angry just now? Did you encounter any problems?"

Feng Yiping put down the glass, "To be honest, there are some problems, but just like the current situation of our Tesla, sometimes, encountering problems actually just shows our achievements, right?"

"If our research and development has not made substantial progress, then we will not be facing these seemingly challenging problems now, right?"

"So Feng doesn't need us to worry about him," Straw and Mark Tarpenning also clinked glasses.

"The reason why I am so confident is mainly because of you,"

Feng Yiping believes that even if Whitman will find a way to get some words out of these engineers, it will only increase her worries and increase her bid.

…………

In a foreign country, after having a lunch that is as authentic as in China, but more upscale than most of the time in China, Zhou Ning and others received some bad news that Feng Yiping could not cooperate with their filming work this afternoon.

Although Zhou Ning and his team felt a little regretful about this, they did understand it.

People like Feng Yiping naturally have many schedules that are not easy to announce to the public, and many of his work also needs to be kept confidential.

"Mr. Feng specifically told me that if everyone has no plans, I will accompany everyone to visit San Francisco in the afternoon,"

Hearing Wu Xinyang's words, many people in the crew were happy.

This is the benefit that must be there when traveling abroad on business.

It's not possible to visit New York, but it's also good to visit San Francisco.

It's just that Jin Cheng is a little worried. He whispered to Zhou Ning, "Do you think Mr. Feng will go to Google?"

Zhou Ning was stunned, "Even if he went, we can't do anything. Mr. Feng didn't let us shoot, he must have his reasons,"

She glanced at Wu Xinyang, "Besides, can we ask Mr. Feng about his work arrangements?"

From a female perspective, she felt that Feng Yiping might have some private schedule this afternoon.

For example, accompany his girlfriend or something.

After working non-stop for so many days, can't he relax?

I have to say that sometimes women's intuition is extraordinary, and her guess is somewhat relevant.

Feng Yiping did have such an arrangement today.

But now, he is still in Mantingfang, still working.

He is now in Huang Jingping's office, calling Zengstrom with a mobile phone, not Skype.

Skype, which is developing rapidly, has been the focus of hackers' attacks recently, which is also one of the reasons why Skype's development in corporate users has not been very successful.

"Nick, Whitman from eBay just found me, I think we need to meet as soon as possible,"

"Really?" Zengstrom's voice was full of excitement.

When Feng Yiping met him in Denmark, he also knew Feng Yiping's attitude towards selling Skype.

"Okay, I will take the nearest flight to Silicon Valley,"

"Thank you, see you then,"

Feng Yiping said that he would meet, and Zengstrom immediately said that he would rush to Silicon Valley as soon as possible, and did not consider letting Feng Yiping meet him at all. His attitude can also be said to be very positive.

At such a time, Feng Yiping also welcomes his attitude.

…………

"Hi, boy,"

At an intersection beside Highway 101, Feng Yiping, who was sitting in the back seat of a stalled Hummer and reading documents, suddenly heard a slightly frivolous call from the side.

He didn't need to look up or distinguish the voice to know who it was.

In other words, there are not many people in the world who can tease him now.

Looking to the side from the half-lowered car window, as expected, Mayer, with dazzling red lips, was looking at him from the BMW next to him with a smile.

"Hi," Feng Yiping greeted her with a smile.

On the road ahead, vehicles passed by at high speed from time to time, most of them were people rushing home. In such an evening, Mayer looked very kind.

"Haha, it's rare that you waited for me for a while," Mayer looked at the watch, "Come here, follow me," she waved.

Feng Yiping smiled and walked to Mayer's car and sat down. There was no way, this person, after all, was also a creditor.

"Hi, long time no see," Mayer's eyes circled around Feng Yiping several times.

"How could it be, how long have I been back this time?"

"But I just feel that it has been a long time, a long, long time," Mayer suddenly took one of Feng Yiping's hands and kissed it quickly.

While Feng Yiping was stunned, his hand had been pressed against her face.

Feng Yiping didn't dare to look at those passionate eyes, and turned his gaze to the window, "Where are we going to eat?"

Sure enough, he was still as timid as before.

Mayer chuckled twice and put down his hand, "It will definitely be a place that will satisfy you,"

"You can eat with the most beautiful woman in Silicon Valley, even if you eat a hot dog at a roadside stall, no one will be dissatisfied,"

Tsk, when I am proud of this, I just can't control my mouth.

"Oh?" Mayer stopped the car while starting it, "You are so sweet? It seems that you are in a good mood today,"

"Tell me, what good things have you done today after taking over Marvel?"

"It's not a big deal, but it's worth treating you to a super meal," Feng Yiping finally didn't have to hide it in front of Mayer.

"Really? That's perfect!"

The two cars merged into the traffic flow one after the other. Mayer, who is also known for her strictness at Google, looked at the guy in the passenger seat with a heart full of tenderness and sweetness. She couldn't help but want to reach out and touch Feng Yiping's face several times.

But considering the speed of the car along the way, which was about 70 miles, she was still very rational and didn't let her hands leave the steering wheel.

Seeing Feng Yiping couldn't help but cover his mouth and yawn, she felt a little distressed. He was like this just after getting in the car for a while. How tired he must be!

"You can take a nap, don't worry, it won't affect my driving,"

"No, I'm not sleepy," Feng Yiping said, but listening to the soft music in the car, he couldn't help but feel his eyelids getting heavier.

…………

"Hey, Ping," someone called him softly.

Feng Yiping opened his eyes, "Sorry, did I fall asleep? How long did I sleep?"

"Less than fifteen minutes," Mayer looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"Are we here?" Feng Yiping saw that this was a garage.

"We are here,"

"Where is this?"

"Four Seasons Hotel,"

"Oh, the restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel, sounds good,"

Mayer smiled, "Yes, it's good, let's go, follow me,"

…………

On the other side of Silicon Valley, Whitman, who had just arrived home, received a call, "Did he get on the flight to San Francisco?"

Hearing this news, Whitman's mood immediately became bad.
