Chapter 2923 Let’s Make a Big Fuss
Jiasheng Business Center.
Late at night, as soon as Jin Ling got out of the elevator, he rubbed the back of his neck with his hands. Today, he had no time to relax.
She quickly picked up the high heels under her feet. At the just-concluded meeting, she stood and spoke to everyone for a long time, and she really wanted to take them off for a long time.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Feng Yiping lying lazily on the sofa, looking out the window.
The hall was too big and looked very small to others. The main light was not turned on. This plan of side-attacking under the dim light was not as lethal as usual. Jin Ling couldn't help but raise his cell phone.
She only hated that the camera quality of her mobile phone was so bad, otherwise, with his current appearance, he would definitely be awarded the title of the new melancholic little prince.
The flash woke up Feng Yiping. He looked at his watch and asked, "Is it over now?"
Jin Ling originally wanted to make fun of him for today's results, but seeing his look like this, all the things he had thought about were forgotten, "What's wrong, you're tired?"
"Yeah, I'm a little tired," Feng Yiping hugged her and kissed her.
"Why don't you take this opportunity to go on vacation for a few days? It just so happens that you can't travel around the country right now,"
Jin Ling really felt sorry for him. During the Spring Festival, he finally took a few days off. Not long after he arrived home, he hurriedly flew to Germany and has been busy since then.
"No need," Feng Yiping said, "Besides, everyone is busy, even the children are in school."
Jin Ling didn't force himself. There were really a lot of things going on recently. Even if he went on vacation, he would definitely not be able to settle down.
"How is the situation at the base?" She simply asked about work.
"Every project has made great progress, especially our intelligent systems. With the experts recruited after Dr. Lu joined, the progress has been obvious," Feng Yiping moved her feet to his thighs and gently rubbed them for her. .
"It's just that although research in this area has achieved certain results, due to limitations of many factors, there is still a long way to go before practical application."
Jin Ling nodded, "Of course, it is a systematic project and requires the cooperation of many aspects."
For example, in the unmanned vehicle system, if road markings, signal light systems, more stable and higher-speed wireless transmission, etc., cannot be guaranteed, then it will not be possible to get out of the base.
The positive aspect is that those aspects will actually improve over time without them actually pushing them.
“How do you think our overall level in this area compares with Amazon?”
Feng Yiping immediately became happy, "Of course it is much more than that,"
He remembered clearly that it turned out that in these aspects, domestic high-tech companies, let alone Microsoft, Apple and Google, really couldn't compare with Amazon.
Although everyone reacted quickly and took action after Amazon launched corresponding products, and some results were pretty good, it always looked a bit ugly.
But this time, haha, Amazon was left far behind.
It feels really good to hear that guy Bezos say something sour.
Seeing that he was happy, Jin Ling felt relieved, "Are you hungry?"
"You said that, I'm really a little hungry," Feng Yiping touched his stomach, "What would you like to eat, I suddenly want to eat something spicy,"
"If it's spicy, then you don't need to find a restaurant." Jin Ling sat up. "I remember that there should be some sweet and spicy sauce Zhiyi brought from Thailand in the kitchen." She tied her hair up, "I'll make you some noodles." How about it?"
Feng Yiping applauded, "Looking forward to it very much,"
Twenty minutes later, a plate of red noodles that looked spicy was placed in front of Feng Yiping. He took a bite. It was spicy at first and then sweet. It was spicy and sweet, and it was so spicy that his tongue trembled involuntarily. It's a bit head-shaking, but it makes you want to stop, but your throat feels like a claw sticking out and you can't stop.
He took one big sip after another, and for a while he sucked in the cold air, "His," and then shouted loudly, "So good!"
Jin Ling, who eats a stick of noodles and a chopstick of vegetable salad, looked at him and thought to himself, there must be no super rich man who is more satisfied than him.
She pushed her plate over, "Here you go,"
As soon as Feng Yiping said "Thank you," his cell phone rang. Looking at the call, he frowned, Buchanan?
What's going on?
"Hi,"
"Von," Buchanan said, holding a cup of coffee and sitting down by the Potomac River, looking at Virginia on the other side, "I just went to see him,"
Feng Yiping knew that he was referring to Xiao Aohei.
"What's wrong?"
"Because of Madoff, the House Finance Committee requires you to appear at a hearing,"
This is something Feng Yiping didn't expect, "Do they have this time now?"
Logically speaking, they really shouldn't have.
Although the current government has stated that it will not prosecute anyone, the congressmen have not been idle. They have held many hearings on the subprime mortgage crisis, including the unfortunate Fuld of Lehman who was beaten up by a former employee. , have all attended.
"Because the chairman of the committee, Barney Frank, insisted," Buchanan said.
"Tell him for me that it doesn't matter," Feng Yiping said.
He knew that Buchanan was actually saying this for Little O'Hei, and because Barney Frank insisted, there was nothing he could do about it.
"You know, we have made very careful arrangements for this. What about you, how are you doing now?"
Buchanan is not too worried about this. He is very aware of how flawless his former boss was. "I am facing a great challenge now," he said.
O'Hei Jr. told him that his work was closely related to the US economy. That was not a polite remark, it was true.
Like all countries, the core economy of the United States, the world's largest country, is not made up of large companies, but of numerous small businesses.
The US definition of small businesses refers to businesses with 500 or fewer employees.
There are more than 20 million such businesses in the United States, and the jobs they create account for 54% of private enterprises, their sales account for 47% of the country's total sales, and their output value accounts for 50% of the GDP.
The Small Business Administration, which Buchanan is in charge of, helps Americans start and develop small businesses by providing financing assistance, providing multi-faceted consulting and technical support, and helping small businesses obtain US government procurement contracts.
Although his department is not well-known, it has more than 4,000 employees, 10 regional offices, 17 branch offices, 69 district offices, and nearly 100 service points.
Therefore, it can be said that it is a department that is very integrated into the economic life of the United States, and it is also an opportunity for Buchanan, who has great political ambitions, to win the support of many ordinary people.
"It's a big challenge, that's what it should be," Feng Yiping said, "You know, it won't be difficult to make achievements,"
When Buchanan mentioned this, he smiled, "Of course,"
Because Feng Yiping will definitely provide him with support.
The reason why he agreed so readily at the beginning was that he and Feng Yiping had discussed it privately many times, and finally felt that this position, although not very eye-catching, was a position that was easy to make achievements and accumulate capital.
"It will take at most one month for me to clean up the internal affairs," he said.
After he took office, of course, he had to spend some time to really grasp the power in his hands.
"I look forward to your good news," Feng Yiping said.
Jin Ling had been listening beside him, and now said, "Hearing?"
"Don't worry, it's okay," Feng Yiping comforted her, "I'll make a phone call first,"
Soon, Cummins in the NEXTDOOR park interrupted the work at hand and quickly convened a meeting with the company's legal counsel, Feng Yiping's private lawyer, the person in charge of the Huashengtun office, and former Treasury Secretary Paulson who Feng Yiping specifically mentioned.
Before Feng Yiping went to rest, the meeting had reached a conclusion. Everyone believed that the hearing could be attended with confidence and there would be no problems. With proper preparation, it could be used as an opportunity to let more American people have a more intuitive understanding of him and like him more.
"The only thing to worry about is the media reports before the hearing," Cummings said, "They may make a lot of ridiculous remarks, and it is not ruled out that some people will take advantage of this to make a fuss,"
"But Feng, the public relations department guarantees that those reports will be reduced to a minimum and the impact will be minimized..."
Feng Yiping interrupted him, "I fully believe this, but Cummings, since it cannot be completely eliminated, then," he paused and said in a deep voice, "why not just take the initiative and make things bigger,"
