Chapter 966

"We can imagine the hardships involved," Buchanan said.

It was only appropriate for him to say this. If Feng Yiping said it, it would be a bit boastful.

"Of course it wasn't easy. After all, Reuters at that time had been established for more than 100 years. It was certainly not easy to grab the market from it," Bloomberg said, "However, when I was kicked out by Solomon, I was 39 years old. At the age of 20, I felt that I would never be an employee again,"

"So after deciding on a direction, I went on doing it recklessly. Speaking of it, Feng was luckier than me. After all, when he started his business, he was too young and had more opportunities to choose. The key is that there are Time that can be used to buffer,"

"No, Mr. Mayor, in fact, when I started my business, the situation was even more difficult than yours," Feng Yiping said, "From the perspective of ordinary people, having $10 million in cash in 1981 was extremely difficult. The successful results, coupled with the network you have accumulated while working at Salomon, these are the advantages of your business,"

"The first few steps I took in starting a business were trembling with every step. At that time, I had no chance or qualification to fail at all. As long as one of them failed, I guess I would not have the opportunity to have lunch with you today. ,"

If the first submission fails, if the first noodle restaurant in the family does not succeed... Although relying on the advantage of rebirth, Feng Yiping will still succeed in the end, but it will never be as smooth as it is now.

"So in hindsight, you're lucky," Bloomberg said.

"Yes, I've always thought so, too,"

"Not bad," he asked, looking at Feng Yiping's large fireplace and wood-panelled walls in this restaurant.

"Very distinctive," Feng Yiping nodded.

"The first time I entered a high-end restaurant, I always remember it very clearly. It was a French restaurant called the Basque Coast. I saw such a large flower basket in the center of the table and looked at the silver tableware in front of me. ——That set is more than all the silverware in my house..., I should have behaved very dull at the time."

"You should be able to imagine that when a dish is served, I always wait for others to eat it first, and then follow suit."

"The lady sitting next to me should only talk to me when she has to, and she asked about things that I didn't touch at the time,"

"Where is your European vacation home?" "Which country is your yacht registered in?" "Where is your private jet parked?"

"Hehe, you can imagine my embarrassment at the time," Bloomberg said of these things now, very calmly.

"Feng, you should have all these by now," he asked.

"There is only one plane, and the others are still under planning," Feng Yiping smiled. "Moreover, the realization of these plans requires the support of the mayor and the city government."

Always point to the next question.

"NEXTDOOR provides another guarantee for our public safety. From this point of view, the city government welcomes more companies like this,"

"By the way, I have studied the profit model of your website. It seems that the profits brought by these sections on the website, such as group buying, should not be directly proportional to your investment. In the end, I am afraid that it can only rely on advertising revenue. Then you When are you going to advertise on a large scale?"

"Ads will definitely be posted, but I always hope that more functions can be launched to make users more sticky and loyal. I will consider this matter. You know, I currently have sufficient funds," Ming said. There is no need to speak secretly in front of people.

"I'm relieved when you say that," Bloomberg nodded. "I'm actually afraid that you're offering a free lunch," Bloomberg said.

"There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. If you offered one, I have no doubt that you would choose to eat me alive at dinner or breakfast."

This is consistent with what the information says, very Bloomberg.

"Your vision is as accurate as ever, and I also think that this type of website will definitely have great development in the future," Bloomberg said. Very good opinion, what suggestions do you have for the development of New York City?"

"That's why I invited you to lunch,"

This is still a typical businessman's style, straightforward and direct.

However, why do so many people know about the suggestions I made? Moreover, since you know it, you should also know that my buddies' opinions are not free lunches, and they are expensive, so why don't you mention this?

However, I believe that his background in the business world should not take advantage of him in vain.

It should be said that when he ran for mayor of New York, Bloomberg really didn’t want to play tricks. He really wanted to do something for New York. The specific method was still no different from managing a company.

This can be seen from the layout of his office.

His office in downtown New York should be the most unique mayor's office in the world.

According to him, the layout of the office looks like a large trading room in an investment bank, and many technicians and managers are placed in it like traders to monitor the city's fire protection, public security, sanitation, etc. in real time. index.

At the same time, many of his city commissioners are also typical technocrats, or old bureaucrats who have worked in their posts for a long time.

Facing the large and rising deficit of the New York City government, he first took a lot of cost-saving measures like running a company. Specifically, it was to reduce the expenditure of the public sector. The most important point was naturally to reduce personnel.

How courageous is he? He actually swung his knife at the firefighting system, which played an important role in the 9/11 incident, at the very beginning of his tenure. This determination and courage can be seen.

While saving money, he also pays great attention to improving efficiency. One of the measures is to provide free breakfast and simple lunch for New York City government employees.

Of course, in order to reverse the state of high deficits, the key lies in open source. It is estimated that this is not the first time he asked Feng Yiping, an entrepreneur who visited New York.

"Then let me say something related to my industry," Feng Yiping said, "So far, the Internet industry has come out of the gloom, bid farewell to the bubble era, and is no longer a money-burning industry. I wonder if the government can support such an industry. technology-based entrepreneurship?"

"This will not only improve the city's technological content and economic level, drive investment in universities and scientific research institutions, but also attract a large number of outstanding talents, and these talents are the reserve of entrepreneurial talents in the future...,"

"Write it down?" Bloomberg asked the middle-aged man who had just reported to him.

"Remember it," the man nodded.

"I will bring up NEXTDOOR in my speech later," Feng Yiping gave his opinion, and Bloomberg took the initiative to say what he would do, "Buchanan, please coordinate with my office, and I will Recently, I will go to your company once,"

This kind of exchange is evenly matched.

Feng Yiping likes these businessmen and politicians in the United States, they are straightforward, knowledgeable and interesting.

…………

Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Vincent looked outside, knelt on the sofa at the reception and kept moving, looking forward to seeing his father the next moment.

Now Vincent, wherever he is, is the center of everyone's attention. This child is really too good-looking and cute.

The guests who came in and out, the hotel staff, would take time to look at him, even those young guys who should hate children very much.

If he was in China, he must have been touched by many people who don't know him and praised his cuteness. Fortunately, this is the United States. Seeing him, many people couldn't help but say "so cute", but they took the initiative to come over to tease him. Yes, none.

Because the mother next to him also has a good temperament and image, such a pair of mother and child together, in the eyes of others, will inevitably have the impression that they can only be seen from a distance.

Vincent, who grew up with his mother, is now more courageous than before, but he usually feels a little shy when faced with so many fiery gazes, but today, he doesn't seem to feel these things, or he doesn't care about them , has been looking anxiously at the hotel door.

Every time a car came by, he would get a little excited.

"Vincent, sit down," Ma Ling said in a low voice, "How many times has Mom told you to be polite in public?"

"Understood," Vincent pouted his mouth in a good manner, but the next moment, he smiled and ran towards the door, "papa,"

Ma Ling saw that Feng Yiping, who had just got out of the car, put his bag on the ground, squatted and opened his arms towards Vincent, "Good son," she also greeted with a smile.

"Why don't you wait in the room," Feng Yiping asked.

"Because I want to see my father earlier," Vincent's answer almost made Feng Yiping cute.

"I like Dad so much, be careful of Mom being jealous," Feng Yiping kissed Ma Ling's face.

The episode of Oprah's show will air tomorrow. It is estimated that such a move will not be easy to do on such an occasion after tomorrow.

"He, he probably stayed with me for too long, so he wanted to see Dad, right?" Ma Ling patted his son's head.

"I miss Dad," Vincent said.

…………

"This is my store, here are the steps, here are the customers, this is the delivery van..." As soon as he entered the room, Vincent pulled Feng Yiping to his piece of land in front of the window, flaunting himself Assembled Lego bricks.

"Not bad," Feng Yiping looked at it, it was well done, the layout was good, at least it was better than what he drew.

"It's just that the house you built shouldn't be too strong, so it won't fall apart when you pick it up. Come on, let's adjust it together,"

Feng Yiping took off his coat, sat down on the floor, and happily played with his son with building blocks.

This play lasted for several hours, until Ma Ling pushed the dining car and asked them to go over for dinner.

The little guy really misses Feng Yiping. He had a lot of fun in the afternoon, so when he went to bed at 9 o'clock in the evening, he was already sleepy and his eyelids were fighting all the time. However, Feng Yiping read him three bedtime stories , he still couldn't bear to close his eyes.

Often when Feng Yiping was reading, his eyes slowly closed, but as soon as the voice stopped, he immediately struggled to open his eyes again.

His appearance made Feng Yiping feel a little guilty, "Go to sleep, Dad will still be here tomorrow,"

Vincent's eyes lit up, "What about the day after tomorrow?"

"Daddy will accompany you the day after tomorrow,"

"Good night, Dad," he finally agreed to sleep.

"I'm really jealous," Ma Ling hugged Feng Yiping from behind, and led him step by step towards the bedroom, to the door of the bathroom, "Hurry up and take a shower."

"Together?"

"I've already washed it," Ma Ling chuckled, and gently pushed him into the bathroom.

…………

Feng Yiping, who was wearing a bath towel indiscriminately, jumped at Ma Ling, who knew that she also jumped into the bathroom with a light flash, and did not forget to announce, "Wait well,"

Is this a big move? It is still willing to wait for a while.

Unexpectedly, this meeting was not short, more than ten minutes, Feng Yiping was a little anxious, such a beautiful day, how could he be so let down?

But when Ma Ling finally came out, he immediately felt that the previous wait was definitely worth it!

This is the most daring time Ma Ling has dressed. The moment Feng Yiping saw it, he immediately swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

She put on her makeup meticulously inside, her long hair was draped over her shoulders softly, her lips were red like fire, and her eyes were full of smiles. The point is, she was only wearing a set of underwear, leopard print garter underwear!

It was the first time she wore such wild underwear in front of Feng Yiping.

"Does it look good?" She pursed her lips and walked around shyly.

"It's pretty, it's pretty," Feng Yiping said blankly, "I think I'm a little bit reluctant to take it off,"

This should be another form of knowledge and interest, referred to as "interest". It took her so long to put on this suit, but the purpose was to take it off, to stimulate Feng Yiping to take it off faster.

It seems to be doing useless work, but this is where the fun lies.

"It doesn't seem to be impossible to not take it off," she smiled charmingly.

Afterwards, Feng Yiping jumped on him, "I can't bear it anymore!"

"Ah, it really doesn't take off, ah!"

In the tightly closed room, there was a low chanting and a shallow singing...
