Chapter 2976 President's Visit
Feng Yiping, who was full of energy, was holding a cup of coffee and walking with a group of people at the entrance of NEXTDOOR Park. From time to time, he would exchange a few words with people around him or respond to the greetings of passing employees. He was very leisurely.
The sun was shining brightly, and the very young lawn exuded a faint green air under our feet. The benches under the trees among the blue and white buildings behind us and the sofas in the coffee bar next to the lawn were full of people as usual. Men and women wearing shirts, T-shirts or sweatshirts.
Many of the people lying on the lawn had their eyes squinted and faces full of tiredness. In other places, this must be a symptom of a hangover, but here, those guys probably stayed up all night last night. .
In the aisle, those guys carrying backpacks and riding skateboards were still the same as usual, with a look of indifference and pride on their faces that was different from us...
No one was making any loud noises, and the entire park was still filled with the same buzz as during school recess. It did not make people feel irritated, but made you feel the vitality and vitality contained therein for the first time.
Except for Feng Yiping and others who appeared together near the entrance, and the very conspicuous men in black suits and sunglasses scattered among the crowd, this was a very ordinary day in the park.
Everyone thought so. Zuckerberg, who was ordered by Feng Yiping to put on a suit and tie, had his neat tie ripped to a crooked angle. "Feng, there has just been a news from India. investigation report,"
"Six out of 10 people who came out of Google's Bangalore office to look at their phones said they were checking WhatsApp, and all 10 said they used WhatsApp regularly,"
These words made everyone around Feng Yiping laugh out loud, because everyone around him knew that Feng Yiping had always attached great importance to the Indian market and believed that the Indian market was the key to Facebook's next one billion users.
This result is a very strong proof of their success in the Indian market.
Feng Yiping nodded, seemingly expressing affirmation and praise, but his words immediately made everyone feel the pressure, "This means that our next focus in India should be on poor rural areas."
Some people couldn't help but sigh, because there was no time to calm down, but fortunately they were used to this situation.
"At the same time, we must not forget the most important thing..."
This was immediately answered by several people around him, "Localization."
Feng Yiping nodded again in affirmation, "Yes, localization! We must remember that what is suitable for Silicon Valley may not be suitable for Bangalore, and what is suitable for American users may not be suitable for India."
Sandberg duly added, "There is also a part of the report where they interviewed 10 advertisers, 8 of whom are our users."
These words, of course, cheered everyone up again.
This is actually a continuation of the previous part. Since users prefer Facebook’s products, it stands to reason that advertising buyers will of course choose Facebook’s advertising services.
This of course also made Feng Yiping happy.
Although there are many users, which makes him happy, in order to get so many users, he has to spend money, and only by advertising users can he make money.
But he still can't let these guys be too optimistic. "We must pay close attention to the user-friendliness of our advertising platform. I hope that we can still create special functions for Indian advertisers,"
"At the same time, since we have a leading position in mobile, we have to be ahead of everyone, so I am thinking that our applications in India must take into account some users with lower data plans,"
High-tech companies hope to have more "traffic", and ordinary users also hope to have more "traffic".
For Feng Yiping, he was very impressed by the traffic packages of domestic operators, especially in the early days of 4G. If you were not careful, the traffic charges would be so high that you would doubt your life.
Therefore, he knows very well that there will be many users in India who will cherish the traffic very much.
"For this reason, we should probably develop some targeted applications,"
"Also, our free Internet plan must be developed quickly,"
This is the key.
By allowing more Indians to access the Internet, their user base in India can grow rapidly.
Everyone could only nod their heads, and even Zuckerberg felt that it was getting harder and harder to get praise from his boss now!
Feng Yiping did this on purpose. To manage these guys, he wanted to pour cold water on them when they were very excited and proud. Otherwise, each one of them would become extremely proud.
At this time, someone shouted, "Coming, coming,"
Immediately, everyone heard the siren of the driveway.
Soon, a black motorcade drove over, and Xiao Aohei's motorcade arrived at the park on time.
The agents on the roof immediately became nervous, and many people who were still working inside the building also rushed down after hearing the news.
They are not all admirers of O'Hei, or were once admirers of O'Hei.
However, when you choose a politician who rose to power through election as your idol, the related disillusionment will probably come faster.
The same is true for Obama Jr. When he was running for election in 2008, there were many young people in the park who were his die-hard fans. But in the past two years, many people have gradually lost interest in him. Except for his very average speaking skills, he seems to be no different from Bush Jr. in other aspects.
But they are still willing to come down to take a closer look. After all, it's lively, who doesn't like to join in?
Amid the cheers of everyone, Obama Jr. walked down from the stretched Cadillac with the presidential flag hanging on it with a smile and waved confidently to the crowd.
His entourage also got out of the car one after another. William Daley, the new chief of staff who had just taken office at the beginning of the year and who was in charge of Morgan Stanley's Midwestern business in the United States, noticed at the first time that, like other regions, the enthusiasm of the onlookers was really not as good as before.
It's very stressful!
Because he knows that California, especially Silicon Valley, is the most important source of funds for his boss.
Obama Jr. has been shaking hands enthusiastically with Feng Yiping and a group of Facebook executives. He still feels everyone's support and love for him from the greetings.
That was natural. After all, even a guy like Zuckerberg could greet him very freely at this time, let alone Feng Yiping or Sandberg.
The two sides roughly lined up to shake hands. Before shaking hands with the employees who were welcoming him warmly, Little O'Hei suddenly pointed out the clothes of the host and his own group, and everyone immediately laughed knowingly.
Except for female executives such as Sandberg, Feng Yiping and his group, although they were all wearing suits, their lower bodies were all jeans, which was a sharp contrast with the White House group.
"Thank you," Little O'Hei smiled and thanked them. He knew that it was not easy to get these guys to wear suits.
He enjoyed such respect.
This was the treatment he had not enjoyed before when he visited as president.
He quickly got along with the welcoming people. Not only did he shake hands with them, but he also took selfies with them on his mobile phone. During the selfies, he was very cooperative, making V signs and various funny expressions.
This quickly raised everyone's enthusiasm a lot. In any case, because of the blessing of his status, he still had an aura.
William Daley immediately remembered this and asked his boss to have more contact with these people. In the next year's election, they should still become his supporters.
Obama strongly requested to take a photo at the sign in front of the Facebook building. "Although it's my first time here, I feel like I'm back home."
This is true. Whether it's running for senator or president, Facebook really supports him like a family member.
Feng Yiping watched with a smile on his face, trying to give the opportunity to go abroad to Obama's two alumni, Zuckerberg and Sandberg.
He originally wanted to be like Mayer, still working in the back at this time, not to steal the limelight of Facebook executives, but since he was here, it would be unreasonable not to show up.
During the communication with Facebook executives, Obama always paid close attention to Feng Yiping. William Daley saw that soon after Feng Yiping took off his suit and put it on his shoulders, the president immediately followed suit, which made him look at Feng Yiping a few more times.
This powerful man clearly knew at this time that this was a person he must pay special attention to.
