Chapter 2818: Adding More Stakes (Part 1)
However, seeing the leader preparing to leave, Feng Yiping felt a little uneasy. The economic stimulus plan should be released in the next month or two, and after today, it will be difficult for him to have a better opportunity than now.
Although he had said so much just now, given the difficulty and significance of this matter, he could not rest assured at this time.
Regarding the things he values , such as those big orders, he used to make several phone calls a day and look for opportunities to check them out every three days. Now, when he encounters those important things, he only needs to explain them to the relevant people. Just emphasize it during the task. He doesn't need to directly supervise it. There are people to help him keep an eye on it.
But for the current matter, neither the original nor the current approach is applicable. Supervision? who do you think You Are? A few phone calls a day, or that sentence, who do you think you are?
As for looking for opportunities to watch every now and then, who do you think you are?
But after today's conversation, if I continue to talk to various people and actively promote it in various media as before, it will look a bit like putting pressure on the leader.
It's not impossible, but if you don't have to, it's better not to do such a thing if you can.
So he felt that he still needed to increase his investment.
"Can I stay for ten more minutes?" he said.
The leader looked at his watch and smiled, "Haha, I usually don't have much chance to chat with you." He patted Feng Yiping on the shoulder, "Since you want to chat so much today, of course you can,"
"But I have to sit down, hey, I'm old!"
Feng Yiping quickly pointed ahead, "Let's go there,"
He also showed his energy when he took out the order and met his girlfriend's parents for the first time, "You look more energetic than those in their forties or fifties,"
"Haha," the leader laughed loudly, "Have you not said something like this for a long time?"
Feng Yiping said solemnly, "Yes,"
There are really not many people worthy of his serious socializing now.
"I haven't heard such a direct compliment in a long time," the leader smiled and sat down, "So, I quite like it,"
Feng Yiping scratched his head, "I will definitely improve my level in this area,"
"No need," the leader smiled and waved his hand, "you don't need to waste energy on this,"
"Your growth over the years has exceeded everyone's expectations," he said. "It must have been the end of 2003, when I arrived in the United States."
"Yes," Feng Yiping nodded, "I was honored to follow up with you that time,"
"Although you quietly launched a satellite that time, compared with you now, the acquisition of Netflix was nothing."
Because he is the most successful and well-known businessman in the country and has been doing great things, he still took some time to pay attention to Feng Yiping.
I know that the companies under Feng Yiping have launched more than one product that is popular around the world, including Facebook, YouTube, Android... Many of his domestic companies have successfully embarked on the road to internationalization.
Especially this year, he has made so many big moves, including his recent acquisition of Hilton, which is much larger in scale and impact than his acquisition of Netflix.
"But this time, you are promoting such a big event," the leader said. "Compared with back then, your strength has certainly improved to a great level, but what has grown faster is your responsibility and ambition."
"By the way, how is Netflix developing?" the leader asked.
"Not bad," Feng Yiping knew that this was actually the best time for Netflix to enter the country. Mentioning it now might be more effective than the people below making more efforts, but he quickly gave up. It is rare that he did not show humility and refusal to the leader's praise.
"I should be considered a person who has had some ideas since I was a child," he looked into the distance, pretending to be recalling the days of peeing and playing in the mud.
But what he remembered at this moment was when he woke up from Chuanhou Mountain that summer.
After truly confirming his status, he immediately made a decision. In the face of such an incredible encounter, if he just thought about catching up with and surpassing Bill Gates, it would be too unrewarding.
"I have been a little simple since I was a child, but if you really say it, it may make people think it is funny, too fake, and unrealistic,"
The leader glanced at him and said, "That should be called a dream,"
"It's like a birthday wish that's not easy to share with the public," Feng Yiping said. "I've long thought that I must make my family and the folks in the village truly rich."
"Many people have this idea, but they usually only think of their own families. In the end, not many stick to it, or are able to do it in the end," the leader said.
"It's not that I have lofty ambitions, it's just that my situation is special," Feng Yiping explained, without specifying what was special. "At that time, I seriously thought about how to best achieve such a goal. Quickly, so I decided to go into business very early,”
The leader nodded. To quickly get rid of poverty in a place, finding a way in business is of course the fastest way.
"My parents have lived in the countryside for most of their lives, facing the loess and turning their backs to the sky. Due to the environment and knowledge, they also have some small problems. For example, they first went to the provincial capital to sell chestnuts and earned a few dollars that they had never had in many years before. After spending a thousand yuan, they originally wished they could keep such a thing a secret,"
"This is not only because we are worried that our business will be affected if the villagers follow suit, but also because," Feng Yiping paused, "Actually, many times, we don't want others to live better than us,"
The leader nodded, "I understand,"
This is not so much the consciousness of small farmers as it is human nature.
You didn't help me when I was in trouble, so why should I help you?
"I've done their job. It's a small business like that. If you want to hide it from the people nearby, you really can't. It's better to be more generous."
The leader laughed again.
No one would have thought that the two of them would be talking about such a trivial matter now that they were together.
But when it comes to talking about it, those seemingly high-level events are, in the final analysis, made up of thousands of small things that cannot be mentioned on the table.
In addition, considering the current situation of our country, the last three generations have been farmers, so talking about such things has a sense of intimacy that has been lost for a long time.
"In other words, you expected this when you first gave this suggestion to your parents,"
"Yes," Feng Yiping nodded honestly, "There are many ways to make my family rich, but there are very few options to help everyone in the village become rich."
"Anyway, my parents finally accepted my opinion. Instead of letting others find out about such a business, it is better to be more generous. In this way, people in the village first started selling sugar and fried chestnuts. Later, the number of urban management officials gradually increased, and the streets When the business was not doing well, they already had some savings, so they all rented stores and opened noodle restaurants.”
The leader nodded, "We just need this kind of subjective initiative, and we also need similar leaders,"
Feng Yiping didn't take such praise seriously, "Later, I went to high school and started my first company. By the time I went to college, the company was already on the right track because of the publication of that book. Because of that, I also gained a certain reputation in the world, and then I was an exchange student at Stanford for a year. During this period, I met some people, founded some companies, and invested in some companies... and I made some achievements in Silicon Valley."
"...At the same time, the domestic group's business has also made great progress, and slowly, he has become the richest man in the mainland,"
"At this time, my parents' minds also changed. They both said, fortunately, before I was named the richest man, the situation in the village, including the town, had undergone earth-shaking changes,"
"Otherwise, if I become the richest man, my neighbors, the village and the town where I live will still be as poor as before. If I tell them, even their faces will be disgraced,"
"At least, it's not something glorious,"
"So if they didn't quite understand some of my actions before, at least they couldn't support me. After that, every time something happened, they would always remind me to think about the town and the county. inside,"
The leader said with emotion, "These are the cutest parents,"
At the beginning, they were not as selfless as in literary works, but when conditions are met, they can take the initiative to consider the people around them. Nowadays, this is a rare quality.
The most common thing now is that after achieving certain achievements, they rush to break away from everything in the past and happily join the so-called "upper class" people.
"They sometimes give me a headache," Feng Yiping said - he remembered the slippers thrown by his father, "but at this time, because of the increase in personal wealth and thinking about some issues, I feel, I'm responsible for more things,"
