Chapter 106 Three Chinese Newspapers

"Nextdoor's focus on security is also popular in Canada, but our relationship with local government security departments urgently needs to be strengthened," Buchanan said.

Feng Yiping thought, in fact, I am afraid that Canada is not very concerned about safety now.

To be honest, although the world's political ecology has undergone profound changes after 9/11, those extremist forces rarely focus on Canada. The United States, his younger brother, Britain, and representatives of several other Western countries in Europe, such as France and Germany, are the objects of those organizations' thoughts.

As for Canada, it seems that it is not the target of those extremist organizations' attacks. It seems that if it launches any action in Canada, it will be successful, and the international influence is not enough, and because it depends on the United States, the risk is relatively high.

Speaking of which, Canada ranks among the top in the world in terms of land area and national economy. However, the influence of this country in international affairs is really not very consistent with its conditions.

In the Commonwealth countries, not to mention India, even Australia is not as good as Australia.

This may be related to Canada's unique experience.

Because of the unselfish international warrior, Dr. Norman Bethune, we knew about the country called Canada at a very young age, but I am afraid that few people can know when Canada became a real country.

Since its discovery in the 16th century, this place was successively a colony of France and Britain. Although it obtained independent diplomatic rights in 1926, it was not until April 1982 that Britain passed the Canadian Constitution Act that the country finally became independent from Britain and became a real country.

Therefore, Canada was the world's boss before World War I, the British younger brother. After World War II, Britain became the American younger brother, so it was the American younger brother...

Such an embarrassing identity really wants to have significant influence around the world. To be honest, it is indeed quite difficult.

From another perspective, this is a bit like dark under the light. The big boss America is too dazzling and completely blocks its light.

Therefore, even extremist organizations will not regard it as the target of the first series of attacks, which is really a frustrating and happy thing.

Without urgent security needs, nextdoor promotion in Canada will certainly not be as easy as in the United States.

Feng Yiping felt that he had miscalculated the first time. He should have gone to Canada to promote it at the same time when 9/11 first happened, and the effect might be good.

As for the relationship with the local government security department, this is definitely even less. "How do you plan to solve this problem?" Feng Yiping asked, "Can you also recruit someone similar to Buchanan in Canada to help us coordinate these relationships,"

"We think so too, and have commissioned the headhunter to help us find the right candidate," Buchanan said.

"The final conclusion is that Canada needs to find the right breakthrough to quickly promote the construction of our sub-sites; a suitable former politician needs to help us coordinate those crucial public relations," Feng Yiping briefly summarized.

"The second question is, just wait for the right person to be in place. What do you think about the breakthrough?"

"This," Buchanan and a group of executives looked at me, and I looked at you, "We are also considering all factors, but we have not found the one that suits us yet,"

"So, we think that Canada's expansion is still mainly based on Toronto, and we are promoting it while summarizing experience," Buchanan was a little embarrassed when he said this.

Feng Yiping was not particularly unhappy, and it was impossible for him to do everything by himself.

…………

In Buchanan's office, there were a lot of draft paper piled on the table. He and Feng Yiping screened out many possible directions. In the end, Feng Yiping had to depressedly believe that door-to-door promotion is the most effective way.

However, Canada's manpower is not as cheap as China, so the promotion team is not large in scale, so the efficiency is naturally not much higher.

"Go out for a walk?" Feng Yiping said, thinking of going outside to change his mind.

"Okay, I'll explain it,"

"Buchanan, you should understand behavior like Bruce," when waiting for the elevator, there was no one around, Feng Yiping mentioned, "This situation cannot be avoided, and from the perspective of the company, such behavior, as long as it is controlled well, will be beneficial to our growth."

"Don't worry, Feng, I understand," Buchanan said. "Everyone wants to be regarded as an important person. If this kind of self-superiority can be effectively controlled and guided, it will successfully arouse everyone's enthusiasm."

He at least understood clearly, that's fine.

From Feng Yiping's perspective, he still hopes that someone will covet Buchanan's position, so that both of them will work hard and work hard.

But if Buchanan cannot correctly understand this issue, such as after Feng Yiping returned to Silicon Valley, he suppressed the Bruce who was deliberately showing in front of Feng Yiping today, it would cause internal friction.

Internal friction is a very terrible thing.

"Mr. Feng," the front desk wearing high heels ran over with a small step, "There is a Chinese newspaper that wants to conduct an exclusive interview with you. How should I reply?"

"Chinese newspaper?" This was not the first time Feng Yiping came into contact with him. He gave speeches in several places in the United States for his book two years ago. That time, he also accepted interviews from several Chinese newspapers in New York, but it was not an exclusive interview.

"Let them leave their contact information and give them a reply tomorrow at the latest." These newspapers must have come to interview after seeing the news about their lunch with Bloomberg.

"Just take me to China Street," said Feng Yiping.

"Okay, then we'll go to Flushing,"

"The lower town of Manhattan is now highly commercialized and the cost of living is very high. After 9/11, many people have already felt that Manhattan is not safe enough. Therefore, in order to reduce the cost of living, many Chinese have moved their homes to Flushing. Now Flushing is the best Chinatown in New York,"

"Okay, just go there and have a look," Feng Yiping was as good as a stream of good deeds.

…………

Through movies and TV, many people have learned about the rich and rich life of the upper class in Manhattan's Upper East Side.

Then the opposite is Queens.

When you pass through the bridge at the toll station, you will immediately see many construction sites and many old residential buildings made of bricks without balconies.

Looking up, apart from the square old buildings all over the world, there are only various colorful but artistic graffiti on the walls, which are indeed very lively.

Moreover, unlike the American community in general, here, even those old buildings have been opened into stores. Like in China, life is very convenient.

"There are so many people," Buchanan sighed before he could really go on.

This is always the case where Chinese people live.

Feng Yiping remembered a joke he had heard before, "That time in Manhattan Chinatown, I heard a restaurant owner say that one day, a customer came to his store and specially picked a seat near the door. He could see the outside street. He sat for three or four hours, and he seemed to be unhappy with it."

"The restaurant owner asked him curiously what he saw? The man said, "I'm from Texas, and I'm here to see these people."

"Haha," Buchanan laughed. "Texas is so vast that it is very popular. He has never seen so many people on the streets, which is normal,"

They have stepped into the bustling "Main Street", which is the most important and most lively commercial street in Flushing, a Chinese settlement.

Of course, don’t be smart about this Main Street, think that it has anything to do with Myanmar. It really doesn’t. It’s completely transliterated, mainstreet.

Walking on the bustling street of Burma, Feng Yiping still realized that this place was different from that of Chinatown in Manhattan. Most of the conversations there were Cantonese, while on this side, there were accents from southeast, west and northwest of China.

Ignoring the lively traditional Chinese signs on the roadside and the large number of foreigners in the crowd, Feng Yiping felt as if he was currently wandering around the domestic train station.

Everything is really very similar, the goods from all over the world, people from all over the country, the enthusiastic electric speakers in the roadside store are no different from those around domestic railway stations. They are lively and noisy, and they don’t look very hygienic. The overall feeling is just one word, “chaotic”.

"Is this in the United States?" Buchanan laughed.

"Of course, you must be," said Feng Yiping, "if you have a false bag,"

He followed him and asked a question, "I just wanted to ask, isn't this Wall Street?"

Along the way, he noticed that in just such a small area, he had seen more than a dozen banks including Wells Fargo, HSBC, Bank of America, and so on, which was a bit exaggerated.

However, if you think about Asians who are mainly Chinese, and their deposit rates are high, he feels relieved.

"The news reports say that because Chinese people are concentrated in Flushing's generation of living and entrepreneurship, this has even driven the employment and economy in Queens. The latest data shows that Flushing's employment population has increased by nearly 5%, eight times that of New York City,"

Feng Yiping's attention at this time was focused on the doors of those stores. These names were very grand, and the prefixes were generally Asia, East Asia, South Asia, New Asia, New Asia, New World... and so on.

And these signs are quite interesting. For example, in the store in front of you, the first line on the sign is to recharge mobile phones and landlines. The second item is express delivery across the United States and China. The third item is the thing that most people can't guess, "Special Effect Cockroach Medicine,"

In China, I rarely see whether it is sold well or not! And how can a store do these businesses at the same time, and it has no connection at all?

"Buchanan, how many Chinese are there in New York?" Feng Yiping asked, looking at the bustling crowd in front of him.

“It should be close to 700,000,”

"So many?" Feng Yiping was a little surprised, but at the same time, he felt as if he had caught something, "By the way, where are the personnel in Toronto? Who are the main people? Are there many Chinese people? How many are there?"

"The British and French have the largest share, both accounting for more than 25%, while the other Europeans account for more than 10%, and Asians, Africans and Arabs account for about 10%. The rest are all mixed races," Buchanan seems to be very clear about these data.

“How many Chinese are there in Toronto?”

"Close to 400,000!"

"I think this can be used as a breakthrough," Feng Yiping's thought became clearer. "Is it okay to give full play to my advantages and do more publicity so that my compatriots can support our website first?"

Buchanan stood there and thought, "At least, it is a direction worth working on,"

"However, this requires us to develop a complete action plan, and early publicity is very important,"

"Promotion? Didn't there just a Chinese newspaper that wanted to give me an exclusive interview? Ask, which newspaper it is?"

"Qizhao News," Buchanan said quickly with his cell phone.

Judging from his appearance, he seemed a little dissatisfied, "What's wrong? Is this newspaper not selling well or is it not distributed in Toronto?"

"I knew that the overseas Chinese newspapers would definitely be the first one, because everyone knows that it is a left-wing (pro-communist) newspaper that reports the most news in mainland China. Once you, the richest man in mainland China, they will definitely come to you right away," he said.

"It's just that the BC News ranked third in New York, but in Toronto, its BC was not even third."

"Is the World Journal the number one?" Feng Yiping has influenced this newspaper and is the most read by Chinese Americans.

"Yes, World Daily's circulation in Toronto is also ranked first, New York and Toronto, and the second largest Chinese newspaper circulation is Sing Tao Daily."

"Then you contact me, I will cooperate with these two newspapers to do an exclusive interview,"

"I forgot to tell you," Buchanan shook his phone, "We just came out, and the World Daily and Sing Tao Daily also found the company, hoping to give you an exclusive interview," (To be continued.)
