Chapter 100: Knowledge
"We can imagine the hardships," Buchanan said. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is also appropriate for him, if Feng Yiping says it, it will be a bit of a boast.
"Of course, it wasn't easy, after all, Reuters was more than 100 years old at that time, and it was certainly not easy to grab the market from it," Mr. Bloomberg said, "but I was 39 years old when I was kicked out by Solomon, and I felt that I would never be an employee again."
"So after identifying a direction, he did it desperately, speaking of which, Feng is luckier than me, after all, when he started his business, he was too young, and there were more opportunities to choose, the key is that there is time that can be used as a buffer,"
"No, Mr. Mayor, in fact, when I started my business, it was even more difficult than the situation you faced," Feng Yiping said, "From the perspective of ordinary people, being able to have $10 million in cash in '81 is a very successful result, and with the connections you have accumulated during your tenure at Solomon, these are the advantages of your entrepreneurship."
"And the first few steps I took to start my business, every step was trembling, at that time, I had no chance and qualification to fail once, as long as one of them failed, I guess I would not have such a chance to have lunch with you today,"
If the first submission is not successful, if the first noodle restaurant in the family is not successful...... Although relying on the advantage of rebirth, Feng Yiping will still succeed in the end, but it will never be as smooth as now.
"That's why in hindsight I feel lucky," Mr. Bloomberg said.
"Yes, I always think so,"
"Not bad," he asked, looking at Feng Yiping's large number of the restaurant's fireplaces and parquet walls.
"Very distinctive," Feng Yiping nodded.
"The first time I went into a fine dining restaurant, I remember very well, it was a French restaurant called the Basque Coast, and I looked at the big flower basket in the center of the table, and at the silver cutlery arranged in front of me - that set was more than all the silverware in my house...... I should have behaved very wooden. ”
"As you can imagine, when a dish comes up, I always wait for someone else to start eating it first, and then follow along. ”
"The lady sitting next to me should only talk to me when I have to, and ask about things that I have not been exposed to at the time,"
"Where is your European holiday villa?" "What country is your yacht registered in?" "Where is your private jet parked?"
"Hehe, you should be able to imagine my embarrassment," Mr. Bloomberg said now, very calmly.
"Feng, you should have all of them by now," he asked.
"There is only one plane, and the others are still in the plan," Feng Yiping smiled, "Moreover, the realization of these plans still needs the support of Mr. Mayor and the municipal government,"
The main point is the next topic.
"Nextdoor provides another guarantee for our public safety, and from that point on, the city welcomes more companies like this,"
"By the way, I studied the profit model of your website, it seems that these sections of the website now, such as group buying, bring profits, and your investment should not be proportional, in the end, I am afraid that you can only rely on advertising revenue, so when are you going to advertise on a large scale?"
"Ads are definitely going to be on it, but I've always hoped that more features can be introduced, so that users will be more sticky and more loyal, and then think about it, you know, I'm more well-funded at the moment," there is no need to say dark words in front of Mingren.
"I'm relieved when you say that," Bloomberg nodded, "I'm actually afraid that you'll provide a free lunch,"
"There is no such thing as a free lunch, and if you offer a free lunch, then I have no doubt that you will choose to eat me alive at dinner or breakfast."
This is consistent with what the information says, very Bloomberg.
"Your vision is as accurate as ever, and I also think that this type of website will definitely have a very big development in the future," Bloomberg said, "I've also heard that you have given very good opinions on many industries, so what advice do you have for the development of New York City?"
"That's what I'm inviting you to lunch,"
It's still the typical businessman's style, crisp and straightforward.
And, since you know, you should also know that buddy's opinion is also not a free lunch, and it is very expensive, why don't you mention it?
However, I believe that he is from a business background, so he should not take advantage of himself in vain.
It should be said that Bloomberg is really not playing for the mayor of New York, he really wants to do something for New York, and the specific way is still no different from managing a company.
This can be seen from the layout of his office.
His office in the heart of New York City is probably the most unique mayor's office in the world.
According to his meaning, the layout of that office looks like a large trading hall in an investment bank, and then many technicians and managers are placed in it like traders, and the city's fire protection, public security, health and other indices are monitored in real time.
At the same time, many of his citymissioners are typical technocrats, or old bureaucrats who have been in their posts for a long time.
In the face of the rising deficit of the New York City government, he first took a lot of measures to reduce expenditure, as if he were running a company, specifically, to cut public sector spending, and most importantly, to reduce personnel.
How bold is he, at the beginning of his tenure, he waved the butcher's knife at the fire protection system, which played an important role in the 911 incident, and this determination and courage can be seen.
While throttling, he also paid great attention to efficiency, and one of his initiatives was to provide free breakfast and light lunches to New York City government employees.
Of course, to reverse the state of high deficits, Guan Jin also lies in open source, and it is estimated that this is not the first time he has asked Feng Yiping about an entrepreneur who visited New York.
"Then I'll say it's related to my industry," Feng Yiping said, "Up to now, the Internet industry has come out of the haze, completely bid farewell to the bubble era, and is no longer a money-burning industry, I think the government can support such a technology-based entrepreneurship?"
"This can not only improve the city's scientific and technological content and economic level, drive everyone's investment in universities and scientific research institutions, but also attract a large number of outstanding talents, and these talents are the reserve of entrepreneurial talents in the future...... ,”
"Did you write it down?" Bloomberg asked the middle-aged man who had just reported to him.
"Write it down," the man nodded.
"I will mention nextdoor in my future speech," Feng Yiping gave his opinion, and Bloomberg took the initiative to say what he would do, "Buchanan, you coordinate with my office, I will go to your company once in the near future,"
Such an exchange is also comparable.
Feng Yiping likes these businessmen and politicians in the United States, who are straightforward and knowledgeable.
…………
At the Waldorf Astoria, Vincent looked out, kneeling on the couch at the reception and moving, expecting to see his dad the next moment.
Now Vincent, wherever he is, is the center of everyone's attention, this kid is really too good-looking, too cute.
The guests who came in and out, the staff of the hotel, would take the time to look at him, even the young ones who should hate children.
If it were in China, he would have been touched by many people who didn't know him and praised him for his cuteness, but fortunately, this is the United States, and when I saw him, I couldn't help but say "so cute" a lot, but none of them took the initiative to come over and tease him.
Because the mother next to him also has a good temperament and image, such a pair of mother and son together, in the eyes of others, it is inevitable that there will be some impressions that can only be viewed from a distance.
Vincent, who grew up with his mother, is now bolder than before, but he is usually a little shy in the face of so many hot eyes, but today, he doesn't seem to feel this, or he doesn't care about it, and has been anxiously looking at the door of the hotel.
Every time a car came by, he would get a little excited.
"Vincent, sit down," Ma Ling whispered, "how many times has Mom told you that you must be polite in public,"
"Got it," Vincent pouted, but the next moment, he smiled and stumbled towards the door, "papa,"
Ma Ling saw that Feng Yiping, who had just gotten out of the car, put his bag on the ground, squatted and opened his arms towards Vincent, "Good son," she also smiled and greeted him.
"Why don't you wait in the room," Feng Yiping asked.
"Because I want to see my dad earlier," Vincent's reply almost made Feng Yiping cute.
"I like my dad so much, be careful that my mother is jealous," Feng Yiping kissed Ma Ling on the face.
Oprah's episode will be broadcast tomorrow, and it is estimated that such a move will not be easy to do on such an occasion after tomorrow.
"He's probably stayed with me for too long, so he wants to see his father, right," Ma Ling touched his son's head.
"I miss Dad," Vincent said.
…………
"This is my shop, this is the steps, this is the customer, this is the delivery van...... As soon as he entered the room, Vincent pulled Feng Yiping to his piece of land in front of the window, showing off the Lego bricks he had built.
"Not bad," Feng Yiping looked at it, it was well done, the layout was good, at least it was stronger than what he had drawn.
"It's just that the house you made should not be very reliable, and it won't fall apart when you pick it up, come, let's adjust it together,"
Feng Yiping took off his coat, sat on the floor, and played with his son with great interest.
This game was a few hours until Ma Ling pushed the dining cart and asked them to come over for dinner.
The little guy really misses Feng Yiping, and he has a lot of fun in the afternoon, so when he goes to bed at 9 o'clock in the evening, he is already very sleepy, and his eyelids have been fighting, but after Feng Yiping read him three bedtime stories, he is still reluctant to close his eyes.
Often when Feng Yiping was reading, his eyes slowly closed, but as soon as the voice stopped, he immediately struggled to open his eyes again.
His appearance made Feng Yiping feel a little guilty, "Sleep, Dad will be there tomorrow,"
Vincent's eyes lit up, "What about the day after tomorrow?"
"The day after tomorrow, Dad will accompany you,"
"Good night Daddy," he said at last.
"I'm really jealous," Ma Ling hugged Feng Yiping from behind, and led him step by step towards the bedroom, moving to the bathroom door, "Take a shower,"
"Together?"
"I've already washed it," Ma Ling smiled and gently pushed him into the bathroom.
…………
Feng Yiping, who was messily wrapping around a bath towel, pounced on Ma Ling, who knew that she flashed lightly, and also jumped into the bathroom, and did not forget to preview, "Wait well,"
Is this a big move? Then I'm willing to wait a while.
How do you know that this meeting is not short, it will take more than ten minutes, Feng Yiping is a little anxious, how can he live up to such a beautiful scenery?
But when Ma Ling finally came out, he immediately felt that the previous wait was definitely worth it!
This was the most daring time Ma Ling dressed, and the moment Feng Yiping saw it, he immediately swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.
She put on makeup carefully, her long hair was soft and loose on her shoulders, her red lips were like fire, and her eyes were full of autumn waves, the point is that she only wore a set of underwear, leopard print sunstring underwear!
Such a slightly wild underwear, it was the first time she wore it in front of Feng Yiping.
"Isn't it pretty?" she pursed her lips and spun around in a shy and timid manner.
"It's good-looking, it's good-looking," Feng Yiping said dumbfoundedly, "I think I'm a little reluctant to take it off,"
This should be another form of informed interest, referred to as "taste", she spent so long wearing this set, the purpose of which is to take it off, in order to stimulate Feng Yiping to take it off faster.
It seems to be useless work, but this is where the fun lies.
"No, it doesn't seem impossible," she smiled charmingly.
Then Feng Yiping pounced, "I can't bear it!"
"Ah, I really can't take it off, ah!"
In the closed room, he suddenly whispered and sang ....... (To be continued.) )
