Chapter 2066: Not Too Speculative
The husband has always been quite calm, speaking slowly and gently, but the wife is rather impetuous.
Yes, it can be seen that the work and life experience in the United States has had a great impact on them. The pressure of starting a business may also make them insist on not beating around the bush in everything, and they like to be frank and direct in communication.
Although it is better to be frank and direct, whether in the East or the West, in many cases, it is always better for a lady to come forward.
Moreover, this rich man Feng, who has a prominent reputation and even more prominent wealth, looks exactly like the one reported, and is really quite gentle, and is the kind of person who has no airs at all.
The reason why they proposed to meet here was originally a test. If Feng Yiping was quite arrogant, he would not have made this trip at all under the current circumstances.
They had also made another preparation, for example, choosing the meeting place at Feng Yiping's Jiasheng Holiday Hotel.
Going there to meet him naturally reflects respect for him and does not lose face too much, but he did not express such an intention at all, so this is a good colleague and opponent, haha.
However, this colleague and rival soon showed something that surprised them.
After hearing what Melissa said, Feng Yiping did not say "please."
"But, I think there is really nothing to discuss between us, right?" Feng Yiping was still quite gentle, but what he said made the couple from Wolf Factory stunned for a moment.
This does not seem to be a good start.
Feng Yiping did not even touch the coffee in front of him, and raised his hand to greet a girl who looked like a cafe staff standing far away, "Sorry, give me a cup of green tea."
That was indeed a waiter who stayed, but she was also stunned at this time.
You asked a waiter in a cafe for tea, and it was green tea?
Isn't this just like you go to KFC but order a Big Mac hamburger, and go to China Mobile and ask me to give you a 130 number, which is very disgusting and looks like asking for trouble?
Of course, if this person is Feng Yiping, then it's another story, it's very likely that he is here to kick the scene.
But it is also an honor for us that Mr. Feng can come to our place to play, this is the idea of the little girl in the cafe, "Okay, I'll come right away,"
Should I go to the supermarket to buy it now, or borrow some tea from the owner of the next store who likes to drink tea?
The little girl was still thinking nervously, and Robin had already waved his hand to make arrangements, "Sorry, Mr. Feng, I'm not well prepared,"
Of course, he must say the words of apology.
The couple also knew that Feng Yiping's behavior was actually an attitude, an attitude of "what you think is just what you think."
Although this was a little unexpected to them, it was really no big deal.
Yes, he is Feng Yiping. Although he is gentle, he is not an ordinary person. It is normal for him not to follow your pace.
And from the heart, the couple of Wolf Factory still feel a little grateful to Feng Yiping-that is, the kind of gratitude they will never show.
Why are they grateful to Feng Yiping? Because just this year, Feng Yiping helped them deal with a very strong competitor.
Although after resolutely implementing the bidding ranking, the efficiency of Wolf Factory has been getting better and better, so good that many people on Wall Street are willing to help it go public in the United States, but its competitors are also increasing.
Let’s not talk about Google, and Fox Factory and Zhalang, who are also preparing to stir up the search field. Recently, Wolf Factory feels that its biggest competitor is Yahoo China.
They didn’t care much about the original Yahoo China. Although Yahoo is a well-known giant in the world Internet field, it can develop in China with their high-handed attitude.
3721, although Robin has long seen that they are essentially doing search, they don’t care much either. Although Wolf Factory is not as good as Yahoo and Baidu now, it is much stronger than other domestic companies that want to do search in terms of funds and technical strength.
Some gaps cannot be narrowed by Zhou Dapao’s mouth.
However, hooligans are not scary, but they are afraid that hooligans find a good father.
When 3721 came to Yahoo, the nature of the situation changed, which forced Wolf Factory to pay attention to it.
Yahoo has funds, technology, and a very good brand reputation. With Zhou Dapao, a very down-to-earth, familiar with the domestic market, and extremely vulgar and unscrupulous rogue, it is really not to be underestimated.
Sure enough, after Zhou Dapao and his gang joined 3721, they made great progress in the search field in less than a year. His biggest threat to Wolf Factory is to desperately attack, win over, and divide Wolf Factory's sales channels.
This trend is still intensifying. With the good-tempered Robin suing him everywhere, such attacks on Wolf Factory that will shake their foundation are still continuing.
Haha, it's good now.
Chief Yang of Yahoo wanted to package Yahoo China and give it to Feng Yiping, but he refused without a second thought. It is said that Zhou Dapao's self-esteem was quite hurt because of this matter. It seems that leaving Yahoo is certain.
Zhou Dapao who left Yahoo China and Yahoo China without Zhou Dapao are much easier to deal with.
So, including the couple, everyone in Wolf Factory was relieved at this time, and speaking of this, they really have to thank Feng Yiping.
For the couple, Feng Yiping's actions not only helped to break up the alliance between Zhou Dapao and Yahoo China, which made them wary, but also had another effect.
Feng Yiping's actions also gave them the opportunity to slap another person in the face.
That person was Masayoshi Son, who Feng Yiping also had ideas about.
The couple in Wolf Factory had very complicated feelings about Masayoshi Son, or in other words, they were a little unhappy.
This guy has invested in so many Internet companies in China, but he has almost ignored Wolf Factory, the world's largest Chinese search engine. From the beginning to now, he has never expressed any investment intention.
We all know that for people who are very proud or very inferior, ignoring is the biggest slap in the face.
The reason is also clear to them. The reason why Masayoshi Son did not invest in them is nothing more than that he is more optimistic about Yahoo China and thinks that Yahoo China will soon defeat Wolf Factory in the field of Chinese search.
But now, haha, you let Yahoo China come and defeat us?
Even Robin, who is always steady, wants to say, let them come, we promise not to kill it!
Yes, without the annoying Zhou Dapao, Yahoo China is not a concern, or after Zhou Dapao officially leaves, after all this trouble, I think Yahoo China will be less of a concern than before.
So, Mr. Sun Zhengyi, who has never invested in us, you will soon realize one thing, you used to ignore me, but now you will soon be out of reach of me...
Feng Yiping helped them Wolf Factory so much, which made the couple very polite when Feng Yiping almost clearly stated that this meeting would definitely not be the same as they imagined.
After the husband apologized, the wife continued, "Mr. Feng, we really didn't know that you don't like coffee very much, how about we go to a teahouse?"
They really didn't know about Feng Yiping's little habits in life that only people close to him knew, because when they met before, they saw Feng Yiping drinking coffee.
They chose this one on purpose, and it was a very authentic American coffee.
So they understood that Feng Yiping was using this to express an attitude, and he might not give face no matter what they talked about this time.
But the boss and the boss lady of the Wolf Factory were also convinced by Feng Yiping's choice of expression. He used such a small thing to clearly express his attitude. In terms of dealing with people, Mr. Feng's grasp of things was also beyond their expectations.
"That's not necessary," Feng Yiping smiled, "By the way, what did you want to say just now?"
I just said I had something to discuss with you, and you said you really had nothing to discuss with us. Have you forgotten?
This is what they want to say the most but can't say at this moment.
Melissa spoke again, "We also admire you for your outstanding ability in handling IPO matters,"
"Your company was the first to go public in the United States after the end of the Internet bubble, and it was favored by investors, but your performance in operating Google's IPO is even more impressive,"
"Robin often told me that you completely changed the challenges Google faced when it went public with your own efforts,"
"We all agree that if it weren't for you, Google's IPO would not have been so smooth, and it would not have been so easy for Google to reach such a high market value today,"
"Thank you," Feng Yiping said.
He said thank you to the girl who brought him a cup of green tea.
He gestured to the couple of Wolf Factory, which meant please continue.
We will take your thank you as a thank you to us.
"So Mr. Feng, I think you know the pressure faced by the company when it goes public best,"
Feng Yiping knew they would say this, because as soon as the topic turned to the issue of IPO, he knew that their purpose of looking for him this time was exactly the same as what he thought.
"Yes, I understand," he nodded. "After so many IPOs, I understand one thing more clearly. In the United States, a company with strength and social responsibility is not difficult to get investors' recognition."
What does this mean? It seems that it is said specifically for us?
But now, there is such an opportunity, and we have to say what we should say.
"Mr. Feng, how is the tea? Are you used to it?" Robin asked with concern.
"It's good. Actually, let's put it this way. I drink tea for the taste. As long as it is green tea, it's good. Even if it is top-grade Longjing, I can't appreciate it," Feng Yiping said.
What does this mean?
"Mr. Feng, we don't have your outstanding ability. The car network you founded was successfully listed on NASDAQ so quickly, but the company we founded has stumbled to the present, and finally we have some confidence and courage to operate it and list it," these words were said by the boss's wife.
Feng Yiping also felt that it was more appropriate for the boss's wife to say this.
In front of men, men care more about face.
"We were very excited and nervous in the days after the listing was confirmed. You know, this period is very sensitive and investors are paying close attention to it in order to make more profits."
"I believe you, Mr. Feng, have experienced the pressure we were under at this time,"
"Objectively speaking, the pressure is so great that we often suffer from insomnia,"
"At that time, before the auto network went public," Feng Yiping scratched his head, "In fact, I also suffered from insomnia for a while,"
"Isn't it?" He responded very actively and positively, and the boss and his wife of Wolf Factory were very happy.
"Yes, when I thought that my wealth would increase suddenly after the listing, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep for several nights,"
What\the\f..., this is what the two people from Wolf Factory want to say most at this moment.
Is there such a turn like you? Is there anyone who speaks the truth like you?
However, after hearing this, they wanted to laugh a little.
Yes, when they think of their wealth after the successful listing, hehe, it really makes people happy.
But no, this time they must show a heavy atmosphere.
"Mr. Feng, we are not as optimistic as you. We just hope that we can go public smoothly and not be laughed at. We don't expect that our wealth will increase much because of this."
"We know that you are joking, Mr. Feng. We know that you do many things not for money."
"But you know that we are very fragile during this period. Any disturbance may have a huge negative impact on us. So Mr. Feng, we want to discuss with you whether you can give us some help during this period."
"We also know that Mr. Feng has always been very supportive of domestic companies and entrepreneurs like us..."
"What are the details?" Feng Yiping did not wait for them to continue to praise themselves this time.
"We think that some of Google's promotional activities can be adjusted? That is, postponed appropriately? We know..."
Feng Yiping was already shaking his head, "I can't do anything about this."
This time, there was no need to show it, and the heavy atmosphere came out immediately.
