Chapter 2271 Good News and Bad News From Amazon

No matter how depressed you feel, once you get to the sky, looking at the clear blue sky and the boundless white clouds, your mood will at least become cheerful for a short time.

Feng Yiping feels that this is the case for Palmater now.

"Parmat," Feng Yiping refilled his glass with juice, "about the cost of this premiere,"

"No, Feng," Palmater looked away from the window, "look at the intensive coverage of our premiere in various media in the past two days, and look at the enthusiasm of Marvel fans,"

"I think I should adjust some of my previous views,"

After the premiere, the interaction between the Internet, print media, and TV stations made Iron Man the hottest entertainment topic in the past two days. It would be impossible for Palmater to know nothing about it.

But if he can really figure it out, that's undoubtedly good news.

"Is it true?" Feng Yiping asked, "Have you really figured it out?"

"I'm not..."

"I know," Feng Yiping said quickly, looking at the old man's slightly blushing face, "You are frugal, you are focusing on efficiency, you are not against reasonable expenditures,"

"I know it all,"

Palmater couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Since you know everything, why do you still say such things?

In fact, he is opposed to any large expenditures outside of his main business. The reason why he can clearly state this is because of the series of things Marvel has shown after Feng Yiping took over. new ambience.

"Parmat, I have to thank you," Feng Yiping simply sat down next to Parmat, "Thank you for always caring so much about various expenditures,"

If in the past, because he was the CEO and major shareholder of Marvel, he was very concerned about various expenditures, then after Marvel was acquired by Feng Yiping, Palmater actually no longer had the basis and need to do so.

No matter how much money Marvel saves, it can be said that it will never put a cent in his pocket.

In fact, in private, some people should have been saying that his stubbornness is hard to change, and that he can still go his own way is really commendable for Feng Yiping, the major shareholder.

"Thank you for your persistence," Feng Yiping said again, "having you look after me like this makes me feel at ease."

"Personally, I am also a big believer in saving, and I really appreciate Amazon's Door\Desk award,"

The origin of this Amazon award is that when Bezos first started his business, in order to save money, he took off a door panel and used it as a table. This tradition has been continued at Amazon. Later, it simply named such an award to commend those who have worked hard. Excellent employees who constantly help the company save costs and improve efficiency at work.

"I agree. The Talmud says that stinginess is sometimes a virtue just like thrift," Palmater said. "People like me who have worked hard to accumulate a little wealth need this kind of kindness very much." virtue,"

"And a company like ours that is growing rapidly and many projects have not really started to make profits yet needs such virtues even more,"

"Talmud, that's..." Feng Yiping asked.

He very much recognized and welcomed Palmater's attitude, but he did not want to discuss his attitude towards money with a Jew.

Regarding the Jewish attitude towards money, we can roughly get a glimpse of it from the relevant descriptions in "The Merchant of Venice".

"That is one of our collections of laws, second only to the Bible,"

"Oh," Feng Yiping nodded, "I think I have to tell you some good news,"

Palmater turned his head and glanced at him, "Don't you think I'm talking about sex now? I want to have a good discussion with you about our attitude towards money and some topics about our culture?"

Of course Feng Yiping knows, but he is not very interested in those, and he believes that what he wants to say next will also be of interest to Palmater.

"I think starting from the next premiere, we won't have to worry about the cost,"

"Oh?" Palmater was indeed very interested in this matter.

"From the premiere to now, many well-known brands have called us, hoping that we can cooperate at the next premiere,"

"Most of them are car brands, first-class car brands. They hope that at our next premiere, the main creators can appear in their cars and have them prominently displayed at the entrance,"

"Just before boarding the plane, Steve Jobs called me and said that if he had known that our premiere would be such a sensation, he should have sent a batch of iPhones over,"

"Then we can completely allow our main creators to wear designated brands of jewelry and watches? Or even clothing?" Palmater said immediately.

This is also very simple and clear.

"This, we have to consider that our main creator may also be the spokesperson for some jewelry and clothing. Making such a designation may easily cause conflicts. However, we can indeed think of ways from other aspects,"

"A little more is worth a penny," "A penny less is worth a penny," he and Palmater said almost in unison, with roughly the same meaning.

However, these two sentences are also measures to improve the company's efficiency, and probably represent the direction they value - it can also be said to be a difference. Feng Yiping is to increase revenue, while Parmat is to reduce expenditure.

"At the same time, I have another request," he looked at Palmater. "I sincerely hope that even if you have objections to some expenditures, please do not conflict with Fitch in public."

"You are very important to Marvel, to me, and I hope that our team is a united team, and I do not hope that some conflicts in the team will be known to our employees and competitors,"

Although he doesn't accept his age, Palmater is no longer young. Sometimes, he is really unkind, let alone tactful.

His way of working is indeed a problem. Even Fitch and the others sometimes find it difficult to happily accept Palmater's opinions even though they know they are right.

Looking at Feng Yiping's eyes, Palmater nodded, "Okay, I will try my best to control it,"

He added, "Not just for Fitch,"

Feng Yiping was very satisfied with his statement.

In China, Vice President Palmater is already the group president who has the biggest headache for all senior executives besides Jin Ling.

Although Palmater's working method has immediate results for the work he is responsible for, Feng Yiping does not want too much confrontation and tension in his company.

Gentle breeze and drizzle can also solve the problem.

Under the wings, Silicon Valley has arrived.

"Sir, he just came back. He's upstairs," Leticia said as she took the food box from Huang Jingping's hand.

"Thank you Leticia, prepare lunch first,"

As soon as she walked into the bedroom, Feng Yiping happened to come out of the bathroom, "Didn't I tell you not to come back?"

"No matter how busy you are in the afternoon, you still have to have lunch." Huang Jingping took the bath towel from his hand and wiped his hair. "The movie will be no problem, right?"

"Although, the most attractive thing is the cool high technology and some hot scenes that make adrenaline rush. A week after watching it, you probably have to think about it to remember the main plot of the movie, but I can watch it almost twice, so there should be no problem," Feng Yiping said.

"As picky as you are, if you can watch it twice, then it is at least a qualified popcorn movie," Huang Jingping said.

Watching TV or watching movies with Feng Yiping is often a kind of torture.

Because he is a person who pays great attention to details, you have to endure all kinds of venomous remarks from him, from the appearance of the actors to the setting of the plot...he always has something to say.

If he watches an episode of TV series with you, he can definitely complain about it for half an hour.

"I didn't see any obvious bugs. The settings and special effects will make you feel fresh and new. The actors' performances are all online. The overall style is bright and not as gloomy as Batman, and the villains are not like those in Spider-Man. Just the styling may make some people feel uncomfortable... This is definitely a movie that will sell well,"

"Then how much do you think we can earn?" Huang Jingping became interested.

"It must be more than 300 million U.S. dollars. Of course, I hope it would be best to have 500 million U.S. dollars after tax,"

Huang Jingping was still calculating how long it would take for her restaurant to earn so much money. Feng Yiping asked another question, "Speaking of this, if we follow Disney's example and rely on Marvel's comic characters and future Nana Do you think some of the film and television dramas that Feisuo is going to produce will be a paradise project?”

"Well, shouldn't you mainly ask the children if they will like it?" Huang Jingping said.

"Haha, yes, I have to ask the children for their opinions," Feng Yiping hugged Huang Jingping and kissed her, and then saw that her eyes seemed to have hooks. What kind of treatment was going on?

It's noon now.

Is this considered an inspection?

Downstairs, Leticia looked at the food on the table and waited. When the food was cold and no one came down, she sighed and took it to the kitchen to heat it up, while blaming herself again. How come you don't have any eyesight?

…………

In front of the NEXTDOOR park office building, Feng Yiping stood on the lawn with his hands folded, talking to Sandberg about another gain from this trip to Los Angeles, "Disney's Iger hopes that we can make a social network that uses our network to help them promote and promote their film proposals,"

"Will this cooperation be long-term?" Sandberg asked.

"Yes, it will be long-term. Iger sees the potential of social networks in this area, and they will also arrange dedicated personnel to operate Disney's official account on Facebook,"

"I'll arrange for someone to go to Burbank right away," Sandberg said. "Or, what do you think, we set up an office in Los Angeles?"

She obviously thought that so many movie companies in Hollywood would also have such needs.

Hollywood produces so many movies every year. If these movies can be promoted through Facebook, this will undoubtedly be a considerable source of income.

"You can decide these for yourself," Feng Yiping saw two cars driving towards this direction. The people who were waiting should have arrived, "but in the near future, the focus is still on promoting our own Iron Man,"

When meeting the people sent by Facebook, Iger will probably bring this up again. He is willing to pay a high price to let Facebook promote his Pirates of the Caribbean 3 in the near future.

"I understand," Sandberg said.

Feng Yiping had already moved towards the Mercedes-Benz in front of him. Bezos, with his bright head, was too conspicuous.

"Welcome Bezos," Feng Yiping held his hand. "This is your first time coming to my campus. How is it? It's not bad."

Wearing a lake blue shirt and blue jeans, with some hair on his temples, Bezos tilted his head to look at the park, smiling with his eyes narrowed, "Very good,"

When he walked into the small building, looking at the layout, it seemed that this building was entirely for Feng Yiping, and he smiled and said, "This is even better,"

He stood in front of the window and looked outside, "The employees are in very good spirits,"

Feng Yiping poured him a glass of wine, "That's right, regardless of who their boss is,"

"Hehe," Bezos laughed again, "Yes, their boss, but Feng, who will succeed in everything he does,"

It must be said that compared with the first meeting, Feng Yiping, who is only less than 4 years older, made Bezos feel that he has matured too much.

Back then, Feng Yiping was inevitably a little immature, a little too serious, or in other words, he didn't know how to handle some things well, but now, it is obvious that he can easily and freely do it.

"Let's get down to business," Feng Yiping said. "I know you won't come to see me."

Bezos nodded and put down his glass. "I have good news and a potentially bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
