"Please sit down," Feng Yiping owed his lower body slightly, greeted Fang Xing who walked in with a smile, "Wait a moment, I'll get ready soon."

He quickly texted Jin Ling on his mobile phone.

"You are busy," Fang Xing sat in a manner opposite Feng Yiping and said politely.

He looked at the young man who was surprisingly young with his phone in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

He said very modestly that he was a successful person no matter what, but compared with Feng Yiping, he was really a scumbag in seconds.

More than ten years ago, when I became a senior executive of a well-known multinational company like HP in the envious eyes of the people around me, the one in front of me should have been in elementary school and had not known many words with a large group of children sitting in a classroom with leaking bricks and tiles in the countryside, following a private teacher to read the text aloud.

Seven years ago, when he jumped to ibm, his title was a few levels higher, and he accepted congratulations from his increasingly larger circle of friends, he was still in high school and probably hadn't started his business yet.

But now, after more than ten years of hard work, I have overcome many obstacles and finally become the general manager of Apple China, the highest-level head of such a multinational company in China, this young man has become the richest man in Asia and the richest man in Chinese with a "whirlwind". People who interact with him in daily life are all people like his ultimate boss.

Just thinking about it, I think this is really a joke, but it just happens to be true.

More than ten years ago, the gap between him and himself was as big as it was today, more than ten years later, the gap between him and him was as big as it was.

No, to be precise, the gap is getting bigger and bigger.

His own experience can be perfectly copied or surpassed by other farm children like Feng Yiping, but the achievements Feng Yiping will achieve in the present and future should be difficult for anyone to achieve.

It turns out that talented people from all over the country have emerged, and they have been leading the way for hundreds of years.

…………

"The expected reception has been confirmed, and the relevant preparations can be started immediately," Feng Yiping sent the compiled text message to Jin Ling.

As he said, they had predictions and preparations for such a situation, but before the above was clear, they could only wait.

"Hello Mr. Fang," he raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man opposite him, and found that the other party seemed to be distracted. "What's wrong with looking for me in such a hurry? Is it because of a schedule?"

He and Fang Xing had several job contacts and received a rough performance report from Apple China every month. After all, he is still a senior consultant to Jobs and is one of Apple executives. He also exerted his influence, assisted Apple China and handled some things.

But that's all his relationship with Fang Xing.

After all, he is just a consultant.

The word consultant, he believes that the focus is on the later questions, just ask occasionally. If you often "care" and interfere too much, it will definitely make some people unhappy.

Judging from his lack of contact, this is a guy who is a bit arrogant, of course, and has reason to be arrogant.

He is capable and has a very Westernized relationship with people. As for his work ability, he should be good. After all, he has worked as an executive in well-known high-tech companies such as HP, ibm, Microsoft, and Apple. He can't do it without a few tricks.

As for work performance, well, this is indeed a comprehensive question, but judging from his recent achievements alone, objectively speaking, it is indeed average.

Of course, if you change to other people who seem to be at the same level as him, it is probably not much better.

"Mr. Feng, I want to report to you about the recent business in China," said Fang Xing.

"No need, people from the US headquarters will come in two days. You will find them more appropriately."

"Mr. Fang, it's not the first time we have come into contact with each other. Just tell me if you have anything,"

At this critical moment, Feng Yiping instinctively felt that this matter was not that simple.

"This," Fang Xing lowered his head, as if he was ashamed, and seemed to have no idea where to start.

"Mr. Feng, this year Apple has launched more than 30 hardware models in China, released a new version of the macosx operating system with more than 100 new features, and also introduced the world's first digital life application suite, ilife, which not only plays music and shares photos, but also helps users realize...,"

"Stop," Feng Yiping waved his hand and made up a few more words on the vibrating mobile phone. "Mr. Fang, there is no need to say these. I know everything. You should just say it directly. Is there any problem? I really have a lot of things here."

"What I want to say is that under such circumstances, our overall performance in China is not very good," Fang Xing finally said the topic.

"If you don't talk about other things, how many units will the sales of IPOD will be by the end of this month?" Feng Yiping asked.

As a single product that Apple has hit in recent years, the amount of IPOD sales should be able to explain the problem very well.

"By the end of this month, it should exceed 30,000 units," Fang Xing was a little embarrassed and said unruly that he would be willing to say except for one data.

"By the end of this month, what is the sales volume of the entire mp3 in China this year?" Feng Yiping continued to ask.

“It will probably be between 2.6 million and 2.7 million,”

"That is, it only takes up more than one point," Feng Yiping glanced at Fang Xing seriously.

No wonder he was so unrighteous and so distorted today. This result is, alas!

"Where is the global sales of ipod?" Feng Yiping is not very clear about these data.

"According to the headquarters' estimates, after the sales volume increased significantly in the second quarter and the global sales exceeded 1 million units, it should double in the third quarter to 2 million units." Fang Xing was able to use these data at will, but he was embarrassed to look at Feng Yiping's eyes now.

"In other words, this year, the IPOD can only be sold at most more than 40,000 units in the country?"

"Yes," Fang Xing nodded, "but we are very confident that we will increase sales significantly next year,"

"Okay, okay," Alas, Feng Yiping couldn't help sighing again. He just shook his head and stopped immediately. He understood that Fang Xing, who was originally quite arrogant, must feel very frustrated when he said such a comparison of the number of Xu. He still had to take care of his emotions.

He finally understood why Lao Qiao was unwilling to come to China.

You should know that ipod accounts for more than 70% of the mp3 player market in North America and has always been in short supply.

The sales volume of more than 40,000 units in China a year is probably only 35 days in the United States. If he was Jobs, he would probably not be interested in the domestic market.

"First of all, I can't tell Jobs to cancel his trip to China," Feng Yiping understood Fang Xing's concerns.

"Secondly, you should be prepared to be criticized now. This criticism may make you feel at your own risk. Don't be lucky."

"Finally, aren't you sure that sales will increase significantly next year? Explain your basis and the measures you will take one by one,"

"Okay? That's my personal advice," he picked up the phone on the table and prepared to dial.

"Mr. Feng, we all know that Mr. Jobs can listen to your suggestions. I have a reluctant request, I don't know...,"

"Since it's a reluctant request, it's better not to say it. To be honest, I can't help you with such achievements," Feng Yiping interrupted him.

After hearing the string of numbers, he understood that Fang Xing's main purpose today was nothing more than asking him to help him say good things in front of Jobs and beg for mercy.

If it were him, he would be furious when facing such achievements of Chinese companies.

"Make the worst plan and make the most active preparations, okay," Feng Yiping called, "Wu Qian, help me deliver Mr. Fang,"

Fang Xing stood up reluctantly, "Thank you, Mr. Feng, for taking the time to see me," he walked out of the office and looked at Feng Yiping inside through the window, a little resentful.

I still had a lot of things to say, but I simply rejected myself.

If Jobs does not visit the country and does not have a personal understanding of the domestic market, they can at least make the report very beautiful and fully emphasize the difficulties of Chinese companies. Anyway, from top to bottom, Apple currently does not attach much importance to the Chinese market, so there is no question of understanding.

Or, if Jobs came to China next year, his performance would be at least better than this year, and the growth rate during the same period would be relatively large.

But just this year, you invited Jobs to visit China, which made the entire Chinese company face the obstacles that it would not be overcome once it was reached. In this case, it would be better to ask you to say a few good things to you?

Feng Yiping didn't notice Fang Xing's gaze. He was calling Jin Ling, "Let the rest be put in advance and accompany me to the school,"
