Chapter 2649: Tit for Tat (Part 1)

Silicon Valley, NEXTDOOR Park, Zuckerberg stopped his hands and stood up from his workstation.

It was early in the morning and the sky was dim.

But that little bit of light still dwarfs all the lights in the office.

In front of such dim light, no matter how bright the light is, it looks dim.

He moved his body, and there was a slight clicking sound. But those people who were still in the office at this time were still immersed in their work, or they were lying on their backs on their seats or lying on the table. , people who don’t know when they fell asleep turned a deaf ear to this.

He picked up his mobile phone, put on his headphones, and as soon as he left the company gate, he started running along the spacious passage between the buildings.

Facing the refreshing wind, his somewhat groggy mind and body gradually woke up. This was much better than washing his face with cold water.

In the earphones, Taylor Swift, who was widely acclaimed as soon as she appeared in the music industry, was singing softly, "It's\hard\to\make\conversation\when\he's\taking\my\breath\away (With him It’s hard not to chat to death, because he is so handsome that I can’t breathe)…”

This young and invincible female singer, who still has curly long golden hair at this time, is very popular with Zuckerberg, a straight man.

Although she knew that "Stay Beautiful" was actually a love song she wrote to an ex-boyfriend, Zuckerberg still listened to it often and sometimes couldn't help but sing it.

It’s not that he feels too good about himself, but that at his age, being next to a person like Feng Yiping who is so dazzling that others are eclipsed, and becoming a major executive of a young and promising company like Facebook, sometimes He felt that he could still imagine for a moment that in the minds of some girls, he was also "so handsome that it takes your breath away."

After he sneaked to the fitness center to take a quick shower, put on another set of T-shirt and jeans, and sat down with a bowl of oatmeal and a cup of coffee in the employee cafeteria closest to his office, in the park, It has begun to boil slowly.

He was about to check Facebook on his phone when a call came in, "Dorsey?"

Can he also do it so early?

"Hi," he greeted briefly.

"Hi Zach," Dorsey on the other end of the phone sounded much more enthusiastic than him, "What are your arrangements for today, buddy? Stone, Williams, and I want to meet you in Silicon Valley,"

"I don't have time today," Zuckerberg said almost without thinking.

He is very clear about his work schedule today, and speaking of it, it is at this time that he can squeeze out some time.

After hearing his smooth answer, Dorsey didn't say anything for a while.

He felt that the person he had found was not from Earth.

Have you ever thought about the purpose of my call? Why did you just blurt it out without having time?

Then I felt a little discouraged.

Williams looked a little stinky at this time, why did you say "...and Williams" on the phone?

But seeing Dorsey and Stone frustrated, they couldn't help but remind them in a low voice, "This is their usual strategy."

Dorsey also felt that he should break the silence at this time, because he was worried that if he didn't speak anymore, the alien on the other side would probably hang up the phone on him.

"What about tomorrow?" He tried his best to add laughter to his words, "You know..."

At this time, Zuckerberg also felt that his answer was a bit mindless, and he probably knew what Dorsey and the others might be looking for this time.

"I'll have to take a look and get back to you later,"

Listening to the call being hung up like this, Dorsey was a little annoyed, "Does he understand what I'm saying?"

"Yeah, I think he was very aware that, most likely, this was retaliation for what we both did last time we went to Facebook," Stone said.

The last time the two of them went to Facebook to meet Zuckerberg, they ran away with an excuse that everyone could tell was nonsense.

"Uh," Dorsey was stunned when he heard this.

Williams said with a look on his face, "I'm sorry to say that about you two, then let's wait for his reply."

…………

NEXTDOOR, Mike, who was carrying a briefcase, recognized that the guy in front of him holding a cup of coffee and making a phone call was Zuckerberg. He caught up and patted him on the shoulder, "Hurry up, the meeting will start soon."

Zuckerberg pointed to the phone.

Mike understood, "Are you talking to Feng?"

Zuckerberg nodded.

Mike was stunned for a moment when he heard this, "I'll wait for you in the conference room,"

Jealousy? There are indeed some. As the current nominal head of Facebook, he is very aware of Feng Yiping’s arrangements.

However, he is not angry.

First of all, whether it is Zuckerberg or Sandberg, their capabilities in their respective fields are indeed stronger than themselves.

On the other hand, Mike believes that his boss will definitely have arrangements for him that exceed his expectations.

This is because he knows Feng Yiping’s personality very well. It can be said that there is no such emotional boss in Silicon Valley.

He is also very clear about Feng Yiping's trust in him. So far, among all the executives in the park, he is the one who has the most involvement in the boss's life, well, except for Ma Ling, of course.

Zuckerberg, who was behind him, was listening attentively to Feng Yiping's words, "You said that my answer doesn't matter?"

"Yes, it just happened to be a blessing in disguise," Feng Yiping had already sat in the meeting room, and had to sign the document handed over by Wu Qian.

"That's the attitude we should show them,"

Feng Yiping knew too well the purpose of Dorsey and others calling Zuckerberg instead of himself.

At this time, it's good to be a little cold and indifferent.

And Zuckerberg himself is the best choice for doing such things.

Because when he does such unkind things, he really doesn't even need to design, as long as he can play his true colors.

"Take some time to call them back in the evening, and discuss the specific time to meet with them with Sandberg,"

"I understand Feng," feeling that the matter was over, Zuckerberg also wanted to hang up the boss's phone at this time.

Feng Yiping knew his habits, "Wait,"

"Zuck, in some aspects, you can still learn more and communicate more with Mike and Sandberg,"

"Okay," Zuckerberg hung up the phone and chased Mike with coffee, "Mike, wait for me,"

Mike hooked his finger at him without looking back, and Zuckerberg chased after him with a smile.

When the two of them arrived at the conference room, most of the executives had almost arrived. Sandberg's assistant was testing the equipment with Wu Qian opposite.

In a corner of the big screen, Feng Yiping was still writing something on the computer. Behind him, there were lights that looked like the starry sky, which meant that it was late at night on his side.

This was the result of Sandberg's proposal to advance such meetings by one hour, from 9 o'clock in the morning in Silicon Valley to 8 o'clock.

Otherwise, when such a meeting started, it would be exactly midnight there, and it would be one or two o'clock in the morning when the meeting was over.

On the screen, Wu Qian said something, Feng Yiping looked up, and everyone heard him, "Okay?"

Wu Qian nodded.

Feng Yiping stood up and sat facing the camera. Looking at the full table of people in the conference room on the big screen, he nodded slightly, "Hello, everyone. Let's start now. There are many issues to discuss in today's meeting..."

…………

In Paris, France, it is a happy time to get off work.

The mood of Paris Mayor Delanoe is also pretty good at this time.

Feng Yiping has been away for two days. Thanks to his efforts, there are not many reports on his speech on TV. Delanoe is very grateful to Pierre, the reporter of Le Monde, who is also familiar to him.

Mr. Pierre interviewed Feng Yiping in front of the airport, which completely stole the limelight of Feng Yiping's speech.

This effectively resolved the criticism that Delanoe might suffer because of this.

If Mr. Pierre's image was not average and he already had a wife and children, Delanoe would have wanted to send him a bouquet of flowers and invite him to dinner.

On YouTube, Feng Yiping's speech, with a French translation, was also released more than a day ago. Delanoe personally followed it and saw that quite a few people had watched it, with more than 300,000 people watching it in total. But he thought that perhaps less than one-tenth of the people actually watched the entire speech.

Who would watch the entire speech of more than half an hour?

Although there were some discussions about him online, his staff said that it did not seem to be worthy of their action.

That is, how many French people would really resonate with the concerns of a Chinese like you?

Well, the students of the École Normale Supérieure in Paris seem to be more mature than their predecessors, and the mayor is very pleased about this.

"I'll be down right away," he said to the driver on the phone.
