Chapter 611 Progress
This was the first time that Ma Ling's father, John, climbed Feng Yiping's Gulfstream. Heidi and Ma Ling watched him holding Vincent, looking around with interest, and couldn't help but think of the embarrassing first encounter in Hawaii.
That time, Old John firmly chose not to take Feng Yiping's plane.
"The company you are in Seattle, Coin Star, is really getting more and more attractive now. I think there are more and more people using it on Palm Beach, right Heidi,"
"It's pretty good, but do you know that John exchanged all the coins at home for Starbucks' consumption coupons at one time. We'll have to use them at least next year," Heidi shook her head. "Why do you even have a few movie tickets?"
"Haha," Ma Ling also laughed.
But Feng Yiping thought this was the best news. There were rich families on Palm Beach, and even those guys were using it. This trend was really good.
"Actually, you can do this in the future, call the service center to explain what consumption coupons are needed, and then let our service car come to the door," said Feng Yiping.
He actually understands John's approach.
The reason why he changed all of them to Starbucks' consumption coupons was mostly because he didn't want to stay in front of the coin exchanger.
As an old-school successful person, he certainly doesn't want others to see him staying in front of the coin exchanger for a long time.
"You will come from now on," John, who was embarrassed to laugh, said to Heidi.
"In addition to going to Coin Star this time, what other arrangements are there? Are there any convenient ways to talk about?"
"There are two main things. There is a meeting with Amazon Bezos. This was agreed before."
John Ken took the initiative to ask about his work, which was also a significant improvement.
"Oh, Amazon," John the old nodded, as he was a regional real estate developer, still a considerable distance from someone like Bezos.
He looked at Feng Yiping with a little complicated thought. If it weren't for the relationship between his daughter and this young man, and because the distance was too far, he would probably not have had any interaction with him.
"You have a good relationship with Bezos?" he asked.
"How to say it is a bit of a personal relationship, but you also know that business friends have a not stable relationship and may fall apart when they encounter competition."
"You are right. Although business is business and friendship is friendship, it is not that simple to deal with it. Sometimes it will inevitably affect each other. Oh, with Chinese cultural traditions, these things sometimes cause greater troubles."
"It's true," Feng Yiping nodded.
Old John's words came to the point. The United States is a society that emphasizes business. Not only brothers, but also fathers and sons will settle accounts clearly. Sometimes they will have troubles, let alone Feng Yiping.
Not to mention the distance, just talking about the reason why Google, which he plans to acquire, is so hesitant, is because he feels a little sad.
"But Feng, no matter how sad you are, you must not be influenced by such emotions, otherwise, it will definitely bring more uncomfortable consequences in the end," said Old John seriously. "You talk about friendship, it doesn't mean that others are like this. If you are weak, others will not be weak."
Heidi also said, "Yes, John has taught this lesson. You must pay attention to it and always remember to put the interests of your company first."
"Thank you, I'm trying to adapt," Feng Yiping poured John a cup of whiskey. "When I first started my business, I felt that the company was serving me, and that I decided what to do. As the company expanded step by step, I felt more and more that things have turned upside down now. It was me serving the company, and that the company decided what I wanted to do,"
"Some people are being pushed away involuntarily?" John smiled, "No, this is just your temporary illusion, or rather, it is not the company pushing you away, but the responsibility is pushing you away, which means you are a responsible entrepreneur,"
"As the company grows bigger and bigger, the responsibilities you shoulder will become bigger and bigger. The interests of the company will not only represent your personal interests, but also the interests of all your employees," he said.
"But in the end you will still find that you are still leading the company, because after all, a company, in addition to being a complex of interests, is it also a platform for you, the leader to realize your will, right?"
"If you don't pursue it, you can be like me, and you will be content with your wealth. After you achieve some achievements, you will be in a hurry, right?"
This is a bit like Master Wang Guowei’s three realms about life, “knowledge, action, gain,”
But what he said is indeed reasonable.
If he had just asked his parents to open a noodle shop in the provincial capital, he could have become a leisurely rich second generation, or he could have accumulated the book he wrote and the ten convenience stores in the city. He would have lived his life like that, at least in the local area, which would have been considered as a lack of comparison and more than the bottom.
Why did it grow bigger and bigger later? In addition to the responsibilities he took on himself, he still wanted to show his ambitions.
In fact, after all, the responsibilities he takes on can be regarded as a content of self-realization.
And his Jiasheng is his platform for self-realization.
As soon as Feng Yiping thought of this, he felt much more relaxed.
One thing we all know is that if you take the initiative to do the same thing and be forced to do it passively, you will definitely have a completely different feeling.
Feng Yiping originally felt that he had been driven away by something recently. After hearing what John said, he suddenly realized his mind and became much more clear and clear. "You are right, thank you John,"
He said solemnly, but John enjoyed it very much, "Haha, I have been in business for decades and have not achieved much, but...,"
Heidi interrupted him without hesitation, "Okay, don't show off, it's just a few more decades of living. Think about what you were doing when you were so old?"
Speaking of this, she felt a little embarrassed, as if at that time, his mind was all about him, "What is another thing besides this?"
"Actually, the most important thing about going to Seattle this time is another matter. A Starbucks vice president, we have been in contact with him several times before, and it was only recently that he finally let go and agreed to join us,"
"I'm here this time and I'm also going to invite him to join the company."
"Starbucks' vice president?" John and Heidi both had some incredible meaning.
"Yes, parents," Ma Ling leaned on Feng Yiping's shoulder with some pride. She understood why her parents were so surprised.
They couldn't help but be surprised.
Starbucks, Coca-Cola, and McDonald's have now become a symbol of the United States in the world and are the specific representative of the American image.
A Starbucks vice president joined Feng Yiping's company, which is definitely a strong recognition of Feng Yiping and his company.
"Who? What is he responsible for when he arrives at your company?" John asked, "It should not be a vice president in the area below."
"I am Drucker's vice president of Starbucks headquarters. I visited Starbucks several times and he received it. This time he joined, he is also responsible for our human resources department."
That is, he was transferred from Starbucks' vice president to Feng Yiping's company as vice president. John couldn't help but look at Heidi, which was even more impactful.
As we all know, executives of these well-known companies will be greatly promoted after joining other companies.
For example, after joining a domestic company, the president of Microsoft China usually serves as the president of the company directly, such as the president of the company who has a lot of controversy.
As mentioned earlier, my girlfriend was snatched away by Bolling's love. In anger, Mr. Hugo, who chose to leave Google, was just a vice president of Android when she was at Google. After joining Xiaomi, which was a prosperous domestically, she became the global vice president.
Therefore, Drucker joins Jiasheng but does not get promoted at least shows that he believes that Jiasheng's future development will definitely not be lower than Starbucks, otherwise, there is no need to leave his current job and join Jiasheng instead.
"Dad, just look at the projects we launched this year," Ma Ling said with a smile.
Yes, John and the others thought that Feng Yiping's company launched a new project this year, whether it is Facebook or YouTube, can be said to be the most dazzling star project in Silicon Valley in a few years.
No wonder that Drucker had such an idea.
"It's pretty good, it's pretty good," both of them said.
However, following Feng Yiping means that these shocks and surprises will not end.
As soon as he got off the plane and hadn't gotten on the bus, Feng Yiping received a call. John and the others didn't care, but Merbuck asked, "Did Mr. Gates call?" He was stunned again. Is that Gates?
"Yes, Bill invites me to visit Microsoft and to visit his house,"
