Chapter 61: Meeting
In this foreign country known for its openness, to be honest, Feng Yiping's little heart was also a little "fluttering and fluttering", but even so, in the face of Barbara, who was hot and had hooks in her eyes, Feng Yiping didn't take a second look.
He's not so short-sighted as to mess around in the company, and rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest.
In addition, he really doesn't look good, I'll go, Barbara, an American girl who grew up drinking milk and eating butter steak, has too fierce on her chest, and he's worried that if you look at it for the first time, you can't help but look at it for the second time.
The company here adheres to the glorious tradition of the American IT industry, few people in the company wear formal clothes, the distinction between the office area and the leisure area is not very clear, and few people's desks are neat.
However, in domestic IT companies, seeing an office environment like this that they learn or learn from, they always feel a little incongruous, as if there is always something missing, and Feng Yiping has now found the reason.
The main thing is that people are different.
These people who work here are very compatible with this environment, and those college students in China who have learned five stresses, four beauties and three loves since childhood have completely different work habits from these old beauties.
Just like the automobile industry in the United States, it is impossible to learn the Japanese production method, because the Japanese industrial workers are imprinted with discipline in their bones, and the employees of domestic IT companies cannot learn the old American code farmers in the company, and this kind of freedom in their bones is not exquisite.
For example, Feng Yiping felt that if he was lying on such a soft sofa, he was afraid that he would go to meet Zhou Gong immediately, but this guy in front of him was lying on it, holding the computer, writing code and writing very selflessly. I didn't even look at this boss who came once.
Yes, at work, they are very self-conscious, and no one is a bird.
After a quick tour of the three small buildings belonging to the company, I finally came to Mike's office, which is still suitable for Feng Yiping's aesthetics. Very simple and neat.
"Do you need me to get everyone together for a meeting?" Mike asked.
He originally wanted to do this directly, but after looking at Feng Yiping's previous style, he was a little uncertain.
"No, after work, just arrange a simple party in the company, and I'll get to know you,"
"That's good. I'll arrange it," Mike didn't ask for the specifications very interestingly, with the character of this small boss, and the party organized at the expense of the company, he said that it was simple, then just prepare some snacks and some wine.
Looking at this meeting in China, it was more than 7 o'clock in the morning, and Feng Yiping hurriedly started calling. "Yiping, are you here?" it was my mother who answered the phone at home. There was worry in his voice.
"It's been a few hours, Mom, I'm fine, what about you, have you had breakfast?"
"Is it going well over there, is it to the company, cold or not. Are you used to having enough clothes, and are you used to eating?"
No matter what time she cares, it's always going well. Dress warmly, eat or not.
"It's all going well, I'm in the company now, it's warmer than the capital, as for eating, it's simpler, there are a lot of Chinese here, there are a lot of authentic Chinese restaurants,"
"That's good, you wait a minute, talk to your father," she put down the phone and shouted over there, "Feng Laosan, come and answer my son's phone,"
She didn't know the international call charge, otherwise she would have hung up the phone.
Huang Jingping seemed to be still under the covers, but as soon as she heard his voice, she immediately became energetic, and after caring about Mei Qiuping, the focus of her question was, "Have you ever met a beautiful and well-figured American girl?"
Feng Yiping's eyes immediately flashed over what he saw when he entered the company, the girl with a fierce chest, but said in his mouth, "I thought about it, but I didn't meet any of them,"
Barbara, who received the company's email notice, when she walked into the bathroom to make up her makeup, she found that the mirrors were not enough, and all the girls came in to make up her makeup, and she found that these female employees of the company today were dressed very brightly.
At the meeting, Feng Yiping just introduced himself concisely, thanked everyone for their hard work, and welcomed everyone to go to China to have a look, and then held the cup, and the supervisors stayed together, and did not communicate with them at all.
Some disappointed girls, most of them accompanied by music, casually found two dance partners to dance, Barbara was a little unwilling, cleaned up her mood, smiled and walked towards the pile of people, but unexpectedly, she didn't get close, a guy wearing a thick knit sweater, holding a wine glass, and his steps were a little staggering, squeezed in first.
He may not be able to say Feng Yiping's Chinese name, so he simply does not call it, and directly asks, "Is Blue Ocean Strategy really written by you?"
Feng Yiping smiled and didn't speak, there was no need to answer his question.
Mike frowned, "Frank, you're drunk," and a few people next to him were about to set him up, but this guy was quite big and couldn't move it all of a sudden.
"In the book, you also wrote a lot of examples of Chinese enterprises," this is yes, unlike the original author, who mainly wrote about European and American companies, Feng Yiping wrote a lot of examples of domestic enterprises in the book.
"Since so many Chinese companies are already applying the blue ocean strategy, why is China's economy still so bad?"
"Frank, right, you asked this question well, the Chinese companies that were applying the blue ocean strategy before, after all, are a minority, and they do this, most of them are out of instinct, not a systematic application, as for China's economy, I believe you only need to look at the annual growth rate, you will not think so,"
He originally wanted to say directly and angrily, after more than ten years, your food, clothing, housing and transportation, all aspects, are inseparable from Made in China, and your country is always looking for our country to borrow money, but considering that although the employees present are employees of their own companies, they are all Americans, it seems inappropriate to say this, so I have to give up.
"Let's go now, to Fisherman's Wharf, it's time to eat Dungenes crabs," Mike proposed.
"Okay," Fisherman's Wharf seems to be a very lively place, and this so-called Dungeness crab, which is called Dungeness crab in China, is expensive after being imported into China.
So, Barbara was a step late, Feng Yiping only nodded to her slightly, and followed Mike out.
Disappointed, she threw fire on Frank, who was sitting on the couch next to her.
Frank didn't look big, but he didn't resist, he was trampled on, and immediately screamed, and his voice overshadowed the music for a while.
…………
This is a restaurant located next to Fisherman's Wharf, the hardware is not very high-grade, but the business is very good, listen to Mike, if you don't make an appointment in advance, this point will definitely not have a seat.
"Frank's business level is not bad, he just can't drink," Mike explained again after sitting down.
"It's okay, it's normal, I guess many people have the same point of view as him, the main thing is that we haven't opened the country for a long time, let's order, I'll have a smaller lobster and a bigger crab," Feng Yiping smiled sarcastically, "The catering service on the plane is always not very satisfying,"
For people who are used to eating steamed or boiled seafood, it is not easy to make seafood unpalatable, so Feng Yiping's first meal in the United States felt very good, but his stomach volume made Mike, a strong man, sigh to himself, he not only ate lobster and Dungeness crab, but also mushroom soup and bread.
After eating so much, I didn't even need to loosen my belt.
For the first night in the United States, Feng Yiping actually had a lot of fantasies, how colorful the nightlife in the United States should be, comrades.
Or a striptease to admire, or a bar to have a sexual encounter, or a café to visit, or a nightclub to go around .......
You said that if you meet a girl, you have to follow yourself back to the hotel, is that from or from?
However, the cruel reality made him disappointed again.
The hotel that Mike booked for him was not in Downtown, standing in front of the window and looking out, it was as quiet and deserted as some small counties in China, please, this is the United States, okay? Feng Yiping, who had not yet reversed the jet lag, was a little excited and couldn't sleep, but now he was full of grief and indignation.
Peat Hollywood movies, specially misleading.
He looked at the phone in the room in disappointment, thinking that it would not be like some hotels in China, there would be pink calls coming in.
Gotta take a shower and sleep honestly!
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took off his shirt, his mobile phone rang. (To be continued.) )
PS: Ps: Happy Holidays! Also, can you guess who called?
