Chapter 3039 Difference

In the banquet hall of the Taj Mahal Hotel, after Lao Ma finished his passionate speech, Feng Yiping stood in front of the crowd, "I'm sorry that I couldn't celebrate the Spring Festival with you all, and even missed the Lantern Festival, but fortunately, we caught up with the 16th day of the first lunar month,"

He raised his glass, "Happy Spring Festival, Happy Lantern Festival!"

"Yeah!" The main force of the banquet, the e-commerce employees stationed in India and the Chinese employees of Facebook and other companies, immediately raised their glasses and cheered.

Lao Ma listened to everyone's cheers and thought that his speech was still a bit long. In such occasions, the shorter and more concise the better.

However, he is the boss, and such a more outstanding opportunity should have been left to him.

At this time, a large number of Chinese and Indian executives gathered around with wine glasses, and those from the Indian side walked in front. He glanced at Feng Yiping and saw the same situation.

He thought that this might explain why the elites trained by domestic universities in Silicon Valley are generally not as successful as Indians.

Because in the face of such opportunities, they are always less active than Indians.

He smiled and answered the most concerned question of Indian e-commerce company executives, "... our Double 11 and year-end New Year shopping festivals have grown very fast in recent years, but our investment behind them has grown even more every year,"

"I think you should be very clear that when the moment after midnight passes, with a thousand times or even higher traffic pouring in, our platform must be able to withstand such an impact and still run smoothly, how much pressure it has to bear,"

Whether it is Double 11 or the New Year shopping festival held on Laba every year, it is not only the most important project of the year for e-commerce, but also has caused widespread repercussions internationally.

Bezos has discussed this issue with Feng Yiping more than once. He can't hide his envy of Feng Yiping and others for being able to create two shopping festivals comparable to "Black Friday" out of nothing.

Last year, Double 11's sales exceeded 15 billion, reaching 16.1 billion, which successfully made it a phenomenal project, attracted widespread attention from all walks of life, and naturally became a key point for foreign counterparts to study seriously.

For Indian companies that are eager to achieve results, this is of course their focus. In other words, they should have been under pressure from Ratan Tata and Mukesh Ambani, so they chose to communicate this issue with Lao Ma at the first time.

Feng Yiping was also asked this question, "We all know that rushing for success will not only fail to get the results we want, but it is very likely to cause irreparable negative impacts on us,"

"I think, from the results of the stress test at the end of last year, our performance from the technical department to the customer service department is not ideal, especially in logistics, which is still far from our requirements,"

"Under such circumstances, the shopping festival was hastily launched, and as a result, users who were full of expectations and stayed up late found that our website crashed when they finally waited until they could check out the items in the shopping cart,"

"But this may still be the beginning, because they then found that the goods ordered on Double Eleven this year could not be received by express until the beginning of the next year..."

In terms of the current logistics system of Indian companies, Feng Yiping's seemingly jokey words are likely to be true.

"In this case, it is not just a shopping festival that will be ruined, but our brand,"

"I don't want the result of everyone's hard work to become a negative example of haste makes waste,"

Seeing everyone embarrassed and disappointed, he comforted, "First, patiently lay a good foundation. As long as our foundation is good, there will be plenty of time to achieve results in the future,"

"I also want to ask you to rest assured that we will not put too much pressure on you in this regard,"

This made many people really relieved.

The reason why they pay so much attention to the shopping festival, in addition to wanting to achieve results, is also the pressure from the top.

Feng Yiping's words should mean that he will communicate with Tata and Ambani, the other two who often come to the company, on this aspect.

They all raised their glasses happily...

…………

In front of the dining table, Feng Yiping, who was holding a spring roll, and Lao Ma, who was holding a plate of rice cakes, finally met. This was also the first time they had a chance to eat a few bites after the banquet began.

Lao Ma said with emotion, "These Indian colleagues do have a lot to learn from us,"

"They are all like scholars, knowing everything from astronomy to geography, and they can always quote classics and scriptures in combination with reality. They are really knowledgeable and well-versed in history and the present,"

"In terms of senior talents..." He looked at the Indians gathered together, and then looked at the elites of the companies selected from China, and felt a big gap, "When they report to me, they rarely mention these aspects,"

"But it's not hard to understand,"

This is certainly not hard to understand.

How could the elites sent from China say how great the Indian colleagues are when they report to him?

Feng Yiping forked a piece of rice cake from his plate, "Well, it tastes good, I have to have one too,"

Looking at Lao Ma's look, he knew that Lao Ma must have thought of other aspects, such as the issue of us being surpassed.

"Lao Ma, don't think too much," he nodded and signaled to an Indian executive wearing a headscarf. Seeing that he was still eating spring rolls, the other party had to leave temporarily.

"These executives hired by Indian companies are either from the Indian Institute of Technology or the Indian National Institute of Management. These two universities are really one in a million in India,"

"After being admitted, to a certain extent, it is equivalent to our passing the imperial examination in those days. A bright future is just around the corner,"

"Because after being trained by these two universities, these admitted people will definitely become qualified high-quality talents. Each of them will be selected by world-class companies before graduation,"

"Therefore, although these two Indian universities are ranked lower than our first-class universities in the international rankings, in fact, the graduates of these two schools are better than the graduates of our first-class universities in China. , it is really more competitive,"

"Many Indians are very proud of this. Many people in these two schools say that they don't care about rankings, they only care about grades,"

"But from a broader perspective, is this really something to be proud of?"

Lao Ma thought about the achievements of Indians in the high-tech field and nodded, "There is indeed reason to be proud,"

Feng Yiping smiled, "Think about it, if we concentrate 80% of the resources given to all engineering universities in the country on one university, and this university only enrolls 4,000 people a year, do you think the graduates from this university will be worse than the people you just met?"

"Oh," Lao Ma suddenly understood a little.

Feng Yiping nodded, "You know, no matter how bad a country is, a small group of people trained with the whole country's efforts will certainly not be bad, but what about the overall quality of the people?"

"In contrast to this small group of elites, there are still a large number of illiterate people here."

Speaking of illiterate people, Feng Yiping wanted to shake his head again. We achieved the same writing system during the time of Qin Shihuang, but in India, nearly half of the people in the country can't speak Hindi, which is the official language. Can you believe this?

Because each state in India has a high degree of independence in legislation, in order to maintain its cultural independence, they only teach the language of the state in the educational institutions within the state. There are different languages ​​in each state. In the whole of India, there are more than 300 common languages...

For example, on the Indian ruble, in order to make it understandable to everyone, more than 30 languages ​​have to be used to explain the denomination...

A college student in one state has worked hard to study for more than ten or twenty years, and when he went to the next state, he found that he was still illiterate... This is really not a joke.

The result is that the communication between high-level talents in India is mainly in English - but this has improved their international competitiveness to a certain extent.

So some things are really hard to say.

But in general, after understanding India, Feng Yiping is really not too worried about the proposition that they will surpass us. Dreams, sometimes they can only be dreams.

"I feel much more relieved after hearing this," Lao Ma smiled and clinked glasses with Feng Yiping.

"Think about India's logistics," Feng Yiping shook his head.

Lao Ma also smiled knowingly, "Haha, speaking of this, I understand a little bit. You are a guy who always likes to keep the fat water within the field, why are you so generous in India,"
