Chapter 1278: Whitman
When she learned of the establishment of Taobao.com, Ms. Whitman, the CEO of eBay, who was far away in the United States, flew to Shanghai immediately. She is optimistic about this market, which is second only to North America. The company brings huge profits.
Although Huaxia is still developing and its per capita income is not high, if only urban residents are counted, the per capita income can already be considered middle-level. The important thing is that there are a lot of people in China. According to the standard of a well-off family, half of the annual income can satisfy material life, and if the remaining half is used for investment or spiritual life, there are many well-off families in China.
How much population is there in North America? Even if one-third of them are registered users of eBay, it is only tens of millions. But China, with a population of more than one billion, one-twentieth, is equivalent to the North American market.
Come with Whitman, and Kirilenko, he has nothing to do in the United States, and he will go to China for a while, and then return to Moscow.
A special plane stopped at the airport in Modu, and Kirilenko and Whitman got off the plane.
Feng Yu stood below and came to pick up his old friend in person.
"Feng, why haven't you visited me in the United States for a long time?" Kirilenko hugged Feng Yu tightly.
"Didn't I say that my wife is pregnant, and I will be in China during this time. Besides, if I don't come over, can't you come over?"
"Mr. Feng, hello, I'm Whitman, the president and CEO of eBay." Whitman extended his right hand to Feng Yu.
Feng Yu is also very interested in getting to know this legendary female executive. If she hadn't already worked on eBay, Feng Yu would have wanted to lure her to Amazon. Many people in the previous life said that eBay could have such a good development, it is inseparable from the efforts of Whitman, and even the shareholders of eBay also admit it.
Before Whitman's term of office expired, she personally selected the successor for eBay. It was her colleagues in the previous company that allowed eBay to continue to have a good development.
Whitman herself pursued her new job and became the president of HP. The salary Huipu gave her was no higher than that given by Ebay, which was a new challenge she chose for herself.
"Hello, Ms. Whitman, if you weren't working in Kirilenko's company, I think I would have personally dug you into my company." Feng Yu made no secret of his admiration for Whitman.
"Thank you Mr. Feng for your appreciation. I am very happy working at eBay, and I am also confident that eBay will become a giant in the multinational retail industry!" Whitman raised her chin, and her tone could not hide her pride.
"Feng, what did I say,
You can't poach her. "Kirilenko said proudly beside him.
At the beginning, he thought Whitman was a woman, and he looked down upon her very much. Later, he also discovered that this woman is really extraordinary, she is indeed better than most men, and she is also very good at business management. She has contributed a lot to eBay's success today.
Of course, Kirilenko also learned from Feng Yu and would not treat his subordinates badly. The stock rewards given to Whitman are also very generous. When Whitman's term of office is up, at least he can earn hundreds of millions of dollars worth of eBay stocks. This is the treatment that many CEOs of large companies do not have.
"Hahaha, I also have a very good management team, so I won't compete with you. But if one day she gets tired of working with you and wants to change her environment, I welcome her at any time."
Whitman originally thought that Feng Yu was joking with Kirilenko and her, but seeing Feng Yu's serious expression, she was sure that Feng Yu really admired her.
To be appreciated by the richest man in the world, she is actually a little proud in her heart.
Of course, everyone will not stand here and chat. Feng Yu invited them to get in the car. Kirilenko and Whitman got into the Songjiang extended custom car owned by Taihua Holdings. It is a simplified version of Kirilenko's wedding car. They are two Songjiang S-class sedans, which are currently the most high-end model of Songjiang cars. They were only accepted for customization before, but now the output has increased a little.
"Is this building Mr. Feng's property?" Whitman looked at the Fengfeng Building in Shanghai.
It is rumored that Chinese people like to buy properties, but Feng Yu, who is the richest man in the world, is not immune to the custom, buying buildings one by one.
"It is the property of Taihua Holdings. Most of it is the offices of subsidiaries of Taihua Holdings, and there are also some offices rented by other multinational companies. For example, your eBay eBay company has offices in this building. You should you know?"
Of course Whitman knew that she was there when eBay injected capital into eBay and acquired most of eBay eBay's shares. The funds involved in the two times exceeded 160 million U.S. dollars, and of course she had to personally check it out.
Arriving at Feng Yu's office, Kirilenko casually walked to the bar and opened a bottle of wine.
Whitman looked curiously, why doesn't Feng Yu's office even have a secretary? She didn't know that Feng Yu didn't like to be disturbed by people in the office. Generally, when he wasn't calling, no one would enter his office. If the secretary saw him sitting in the office playing online games, wouldn't his image collapse!
How can the world's richest man secretly play games at work like ordinary office workers! Kirilenko also knew Feng Yu's habit, so he did it himself.
"Ms. Whitman, what do you want to drink, I'll have someone prepare it for you."
Kirilenko held a glass of wine and put it in front of Whitman: "No, I believe she will like this bottle of wine."
One more thing Kirilenko was very satisfied with Whitman was that Whitman also liked to drink a little wine. Not much, but enough for Kirilenko to appreciate her.
Those who like to drink must be nice!
This is a very important sentence in Kirilenko's dictionary.
Feng Yu shrugged and went to make a pot of tea by himself. Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. I didn't expect Whitman to like to drink a little.
"Mr. Feng, your office doesn't seem very big now?" Whitman looked at the office and said.
"I don't often work here, so the office is a little smaller. Such a big space is too wasteful."
Feng Yu's office is really smaller than Zong Qingxian's. Zong Qingxian was a little embarrassed at first, but Feng Yu said it doesn't matter, anyway, he doesn't come here often, but Zong Qingxian needs to work here all year round.
Moreover, Zong Qingxian's work is much busier than Feng Yu's, and the place is bigger, which is also the treatment that should be given, although Zong Qingxian doesn't care much about this kind of treatment.
"As the richest man in the world, Mr. Feng is so frugal. It's really unexpected."
"The richest man in the world is just a false name. The size of my company is not as good as Bill's Microsoft, nor are those top companies. When one day my company's size can surpass them, I think I will be very happy." I am happy to accept the title of the world's richest man. At that time, I think my company's shareholders and executives will also be listed on the world's richest man!"
