Chapter 2729 Handwritten Letter

Silicon Valley, the weather is clear and the temperature is pleasant.

With the approval of various regulatory departments, the change of ownership of Yahoo seems to be getting closer and closer, but the Yahoo campus still looks calm and peaceful at this time.

It seems that the horse keeps running and the dance keeps dancing.

Because this can be said to be the best protection of the rights and interests of employees of the acquired company in the history of high-tech acquisitions in the United States.

I heard that some people in the American labor union are already clamoring to publicize the protection of employee rights in this huge merger.

There are also some experts who want to take advantage of the popularity and explain the benefits of the Japanese lifetime employment system on various programs. They believe that SoftBank's double unchanged clause is the proof that they are ready to implement the lifetime employment system in Yahoo.

Such a system is undoubtedly the greatest respect for employees. Through this system, Yahoo will surely burst out with greater vitality. This system will definitely change the atmosphere of the American high-tech industry, etc.

Of course, where there are supporters, there must be opponents.

The top one in the objection is to remind those who praise such a system to see how many companies in Japan are actively abandoning the lifetime employment system at this time?

Secondly, many people have pointed out that hidden in the lifetime employment system, capital exploits employees, such as lifetime unpaid overtime...

In fact, Yahoo, which appears to be calm on the surface, is very turbulent in many places inside.

In the Yahoo campus, many members of the Softbank handover team can be seen at this time. The shock brought by this team is greater than the shock brought by the Microsoft acquisition team who often came to the campus for meetings a few months ago.

This shock mainly comes from those people from Japan in the handover team.

Although they took off their suits and put on T-shirts, their habitual bowing can still attract many complicated eyes.

Although it is known that this is just a habit, in the free Silicon Valley, such a habit is so dazzling.

Because it looks too rigid and well-organized, let alone whether this means rigidity, but in any case, the scene of some people bowing to one person in unison at the same time is really out of tune with the high-tech park in Silicon Valley.

The people below are just a little bit of discussion and some worries, but the higher they go, the more it churns like boiling water.

Most of the people at the vice president level have changed from telephone exchanges with headhunters to direct meetings with the top executives of the intended companies.

In addition, Jerry was still watching the Olympics at this time, so there was no strong constraint on this, or he had completely let go of such things. As a result, such meetings are also developing from secret to semi-public and public.

So when Cummins heard the headhunter tell him that Feng Yiping's favorite proposed to meet at Mantingfang during dinner, he was inevitably a little surprised.

Rubin, who accompanied him, was also surprised by this. When he looked at the familiar faces in Silicon Valley in Mantingfang, he couldn't help asking, "Is he inclined to choose us?"

Because it is conceivable that a meeting under such circumstances must be hidden.

Cummins kept nodding to the acquaintances around him and answered casually, "It is also possible that it is sending signals to other people,"

"Other people...oh," Rubin understood.

The person they are going to meet today is the executive vice president of Yahoo, and is also the executive vice president in charge of the search and advertising technology department. Many companies must be keeping a close eye on him, such as Microsoft and Google.

And today's meeting, which will be known to people soon, will definitely prompt them and other companies to speed up or improve their conditions.

"These people," Rubin thought, they are really cunning.

But when he thought about it, if he were to face such a situation, he would be even worse, and he could not say the rest.

When they met, he looked at the person who was already sitting at the table. After hearing their greetings, he was stunned for a while before closing the computer, and he could not say such words.

He was very familiar with such reactions and expressions, which only appeared when he was disturbed after entering the state.

I heard from the restaurant staff that he was only more than ten minutes early, but he was already in the state?

Also, at least Rubin now rarely carries a computer with him when eating, let alone in such a meeting.

This is really a workaholic and a genius.

"Hello, Dr. Lu," Cummins said with a smile.

"Hello, hello Rubin," it seems that Dr. Lu is more interested in Rubin.

Cummins smiled and thought that his decision was right.

"Lu, I'm glad to see you here,"

"I'm glad too," Dr. Lu said, "but I hope to hear your arrangements as soon as possible,"

Rubin immediately felt that he had some bad temper with him.

"Because as far as I know, your team doesn't seem to need someone like me," Dr. Lu followed, "I want to say that you already have a very outstanding technical team,"

Rubin was still a little uncomfortable at this time, how to say it, this attitude is really high.

Cummins still smiled, "Dr. Lu, you should know that our business is not limited to the United States, and our projects are not just what everyone knows now,"

He turned to Rubin, "Rubin, introduce the situation of the π department to Dr. Lu?"

Dr. Lu looked at Rubin, π department? Was it created by people who liked college frat houses?

Of course, he is no stranger to departments with such code names, because Google has a well-known but highly confidential X department.

"Our π department was established earlier than Google's X department," Rubin said first, as if he knew what he was thinking at this time.

"It is located in China..." Rubin, who has been to the π department several times, gave Dr. Lu a general introduction to the π department from the perspective of a technology and robotics maniac.

"You mean, that is a base dedicated to artificial intelligence and future technology research, and it has several clear directions and has made a series of breakthroughs?" It seemed that Dr. Lu was obviously interested.

"Yes," Rubin said.

"Dr. Lu," Cummins asked at this time, "have you returned to China much in recent years?"

Rubin was also very interested in this question, "Yes, when you returned to China, did you go to those professional markets? Do you know, Lu, for us, some places in China are like paradise? Have you been to Huaqiang?" North?"

He once again talked endlessly about the experience that he would never forget.

Cummins was not used to drinking green tea, but he still drank it in small sips, smiling as he watched Rubin dance and talk about the magical market.

This is good, he said to himself. Although Rubin was only talking about the situation of that market, in fact, by describing that market, it can explain many issues, such as the prosperity of China's manufacturing industry, China's vigorous development power, and Amazing efficiency...

He believed that these would be attractive to Dr. Lu.

Dr. Lu pushed up his glasses and said, "It seems that next time I return to China, it is necessary to take a closer look."

"You two, why don't you eat first?" Cummins looked at them and said, "By the way, Lu, I have a personal letter from Feng here."

"For me?"

"Of course," Cummins handed it to him, "You know, Feng will still stay in China for the time being..."

"I know, thank you," Dr. Lu took the letter and read it, but still did not open it.

Rubin watched him put the letter away, feeling a little disappointed. Why didn't he read it? This was Feng's handwritten letter.

I didn't receive Feng's personal letter at first.

He glanced at Cummings, but Cummings shook his head at him, picked up the chopsticks, "Dr. Lu, please,"

He didn't think there was anything to worry about, because he knew Feng Yiping very well, and he absolutely believed that even the boss was so concerned about it, and it would definitely achieve its goal.

What's more, he also knows that in fact, this one and several others will not compete with Google at this stage. Their main opponent is only Microsoft.

But Microsoft has been a representative of conservatism and bureaucracy for too many years. How can it compare to a company as young and promising as theirs?

"Lu, you used to work at IBM?"

"Yes, I worked at IBM for two years after graduation," Dr. Lu said.

"IBM, it's such a pity," Cummins said with emotion.

Dr. Lu glanced at him. He understood what Cummins meant, because many people now compare Microsoft to IBM, which represents bureaucracy and conservatism.

Rubin expressed his opinion openly, "It's no pity, they deserve it."

Cummins suddenly felt that this Rubin, who was usually difficult to deal with, was actually, haha, quite cute.
