Chapter 3001 Ability

On the Boeing 777 flying back to the United States, the working atmosphere was very strong.

Some executives were still discussing the boss's speech during the trip to Toronto. If you look closely, these were all speeches that were closely related to them.

From the boss' tone, the four principles were not specifically negotiable. Therefore, they spontaneously discussed the issues they were concerned about, hoping that everyone could reach a unified opinion.

The most important thing was to focus on the third point, maintaining the vitality of the team.

When the company was losing money, the executives could not get high bonuses. They didn't care now. How could our company lose money?

What they cared about was the term of office.

Hastings' proposal, like the two giants in Russia, took turns, but not many people supported it. No matter how big a company is, it can't be compared with a country. There are only a few key departments. Who is willing to not hold those departments in their own hands when they are in charge?

They hope to be able to transfer between companies.

But this is also not without difficulty. Let's not talk about whether the boss supports it. Let's say that although they are both COOs, can the COO of Facebook and the COO of Twitter be the same? ...

Lao Ma did not participate in such discussions. He felt that he might not be able to work for 15 years after he was officially in charge of all domestic businesses.

Feng Yiping hopes to retire at the age of 35. He feels that if everything goes well, he can retire at the age of 55, which should be great.

And this year, he is already 47 years old...

He was in a meeting, with a few people, occupying one of the three conference rooms on the plane, and meeting with various companies on the US side.

Although the US business is independent, the connection between the two sides is of course very close. Forex is a major shareholder of all branches of the US companies in China. It is a rare opportunity, so of course he has to have a good chat with each company.

Now he is negotiating with Tesla. Forex China is the major shareholder of Tesla China, and Tesla is the largest customer of Forex lithium batteries - this can be said to be a typical situation between two relatively independent companies.

"I hope you can speed up the US Super Battery Factory project..."

"But regarding Tesla China and its stake in a Chinese lithium battery company, it's still the same thing, because it involves government subsidies, so it's not easy to accept foreign investment for the time being..."

Lao Ma knows that as more and more companies in the United States go public, there will be more and more such meetings in the future.

Take Eberhard for example. As a co-founder and major shareholder of Tesla, he certainly hopes that Tesla can invest in a Chinese lithium battery company, both from the perspective of the company and an individual.

"We understand this," Eberhard said, "but regarding Tesla China's subsidies..."

"The policy in this regard will be implemented soon," Lao Ma said immediately.

When the investment agreement was signed, this aspect was guaranteed, but the specific implementation will of course take a process - some autonomous forces have made some moves, but for Lao Ma now, those moves are not a problem.

…………

Because of their relatively different identities, Paulson and Michael Mukasey's seats are better than those of ordinary executives, closer to Feng Yiping's office - roughly equivalent to their seats on Air Force One in the past.

Paulson was looking through the latest financial bulletin, which was something he did every day, so it was not very noisy, but the former Attorney General in the same district as him was making quite a lot of noise.

Michael Mukasey had been constantly contacting people on the ground. Paulson felt a little emotional when he heard the people he contacted. At present, the former minister seemed to be able to provide more support to Feng Yiping's company than he was.

He felt that this was mainly due to Feng Yiping, and that Feng Yiping's financial strength was too strong. Otherwise, he could at least provide Feng Yiping with great financial help.

After reading the third report, he took off his glasses, looked out the window, put them on, and looked at his watch. This meeting between Feng and Mayer seemed very important. It had been more than an hour, and it hadn't ended yet.

…………

In the bedroom, Mayer rested his head on Feng Yiping's hand and looked at the furnishings in the room. "What do you think if the ceiling is decorated with some crystal works?"

Feng Yiping knew that this was her way of euphemism to indicate the ownership of this bedroom.

He believed that if possible, Mayer might want to write her name directly on the door.

Women, sometimes they are so... cute.

"I say, this is an airplane anyway, why don't you install the crystal on the top?"

"The decoration on the plane is like this, and it won't be changed anywhere."

For such a strong woman, you have to be tough.

Seeing that he was so determined, Mayer really didn't insist.

"But what do you think about putting Matthew's name on the door of a bedroom?"

This is the skill, you have to have both hard and soft.

Mayer shook his head, "Don't Matthew have a room?"

Feng Yiping knew it would be like this.

He felt that his level had been comprehensively improved now. At least he knew that some of Mayer's questions didn't necessarily require his answers. What they cared about was his attitude.

Many times, having an attitude is enough.

"I say, when will you stop caring so much?" She turned over and lay on Feng Yiping's chest.

Feng Yiping now felt that he still had a lot of room for growth in some aspects. For example, he didn't understand this, so why did I care about it?

"Don't say that you were in such a hurry to come back that you didn't consider the cost," Mayer said.

So it was this, "This, haha, I mainly thought that this arrangement would make the meeting more efficient, right?"

Of course, he considered the cost for staying in Toronto for only one day.

This cost not only includes the food, accommodation and other expenses of the people he brought, but also includes security costs.

As he became the richest man, the cost of security has increased accordingly, especially in a city like Toronto that he doesn't visit often, the difficulty of security has increased significantly, and the cost has also increased significantly.

So, he is now staying in a familiar place, such as the park in Silicon Valley, which is saving money, which is also making money.

Mayer couldn't stand this point of his, "I said, when can you stop calculating like this?"

"That won't work, there are so many children," said Feng, the richest man, righteously.

"What about me, what about me," Mayer asked, pinching his face.

Don't you have enough money to spend?

Besides, you are already a mother, why are you jealous of your own child?

The phone rang, "Yiping," Wu Qian told him calmly, "Mukasey said he has good news to tell you,"

Feng Yiping slapped Mayer, "Get up, put on your clothes, put on your clothes,"

…………

"Feng, Mayer," as a very senior lawyer, Mukasey walked in and subconsciously felt that the two of them seemed to be in a state that was a little wrong, but he didn't think too much at this time, "The Fair Trade Commission (FTC) will soon have good news,"

"Oh, tell me quickly," Feng Yiping asked very happily.

"Some old friends told me that the FTC will soon make a ruling that the authorization of patents must follow the principles of fairness, reasonableness and non-discrimination,"

"The patents held by the company shall not be used as weapons to attack competitors at will. Of course, specific cases must be treated specifically,"

That is to say, related patent lawsuits are still inevitable, but this progress is already great.

The relevant people all know what the FTC's ruling is aimed at, which can be said to be supporting Android.

"Thank you, Mukasey. This is very good. This at least shows that the situation we are facing is more optimistic than before. You are great!" Feng Yiping gave a thumbs up.

In such a short time, there has been such a change. It is worth the money to bring Mukasey in.

"Feng, there is one more point," Mukasey said.

Looking at the expression on his face, Feng Yiping felt that this point might be the key point.

"Patent holders shall not prohibit competitors from using their own standard essential patents (SEPs)," Mukasey said.

"Really?" Feng Yiping stood up.

This is really good news!

In this way, the deterrent power of Apple and Microsoft, especially some patents held by Apple, has been greatly discounted.

"Yes, I think this news will come out when we get to Silicon Valley,"

"Haha, thank you Mukasey," Feng Yiping happily hugged him.

This is really a huge progress!

Mayer watched quietly from the side. What do you think? My original decision was wise!
