Lin Feng nodded: "James, after you entered the company, I haven't had a good chat with you, just this time I came to the United States, I have a very important job to hand over to you, I don't know if you have confidence?" ”

Zhang Jing said without hesitation: "Boss, I will do my best." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Lin Feng smiled: "OK, I've been thinking about the development strategy of Fengxing in the future. ”

"From the current point of view, in China, Fengxing can be said to be developing very well for the time being, and our main competitors, Shanda and Tencent, have curbed them through some early layout and acquisitions, and also cleared the obstacles for the development of Fengxing in the past two years. If nothing else, Fengxing will soon embark on a fast track and develop at a high speed. ”

"However, we have to take a long-term view...... and the core business of Fengxing is gaming and social networking, both of which are growing rapidly on a global scale."

"Although unlike the search field, Baidu has a strong opponent like Google, and in the e-commerce field, Alibaba has a strong opponent like Amazon. In the gaming and social space, there are no leading iconic companies in the world,...... Of course, Blizzard is one, so our cooperation with Blizzard this time is an external attempt. ”

"The Internet era is an era of globalization, relying on China's demographic dividend, I believe that there will be at least ten years of rapid development in the domestic business, but when it grows to a certain stage, globalization and internationalization is an unavoidable proposition."

"Due to cultural and regulatory reasons, in the two fields of gaming and social networking, foreign companies have not been able to enter for a while, which can leave time and space for Fengxing to grow. But we also have to plan and prepare in advance. So I'm going to set up the company's international business department as a first-level strategic department, and let you also serve as the general manager of the international business department. ”

Lin Feng said lightly.

Zhang Jing's heart is magnificent.

For the first time, he personally felt the long-term vision that Lin Feng had always been praised for.

When domestic Internet companies were still caught in internal competition, or were thinking about going public, Lin Feng had already begun to prepare for overseas layouts.

Blizzard's previous negotiation process made him understand Lin Feng's style of planning ahead and suppressing his opponent in the overall situation with enough chips.

Now he once again deeply felt that the reason why Lin Feng was able to get to his current position at such a young age was inseparable from his strategic thinking.

Lin Feng continued: "For the company's international business, I think so. ”

Zhang Jing hurriedly calmed down and listened carefully.

"One aspect is investment, for start-up social companies with development potential, or excellent game companies, we must seize every opportunity to invest, obtain shares in these companies, enjoy the benefits of their growth process, and at the same time lay a good foundation for the future cooperation and synergy between these companies and Fengxing in business."

"On the other hand, it's talent. Silicon Valley is home to some of the best American tech companies, including top IT companies such as Apple, CiscoSystems, Google, Hewlett-Packard, Intuit, Oracle and Yahoo, as well as high-IQ talent from around the world. ”

Near Silicon Valley, there are Stanford University, the University of California, Berkeley, Santa Clara University, San Jose State University and Carnegie Mellon West Coast University, West Coast Campus) and many other universities, which continue to provide new talents to Silicon Valley every year. ”

"I plan to set up the Fengxing Research Institute and the U.S. branch in Silicon Valley to attract top research talents to do research on mobile, cloud computing, and big data based on games and social networking."

Lin Feng looked at Zhang Jing and said in an unprecedentedly solemn tone: "These two aspects of business can be said to be the foundation for Fengxing Company to become the most influential Internet company in the world in the next ten or even twenty years." I had to find someone who was very professional and had a very good understanding of the market, business, and culture of the United States and China. ”

"James, I'm bullish on you. So, tell me, do you have the confidence to take on this job now? ”

Zhang Jing's chest rose and fell violently, and his mood was very agitated.

He barely suppressed his emotions, and still replied to Lin Feng with the answer just now: "Boss, I will definitely do my best!" ”

Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "OK, now I will assign you the first job, which is to talk to Myspace in Silicon Valley about Fengxing and the possibility of Maple Leaf Company investing in them." ”

"Also, help me find a guy named Mark Elliot Zuckerberg, who should have just dropped out of Harvard, right in Silicon Valley, and I want to make a private investment in his Facebook."

……

Lin Feng has long planned for the internationalization of Fengxing.

In his previous life, in the social field, the greatest company in the world was not Tencent (although Tencent has the No. 1 number of users in China), but Facebook, which the Chinese jokingly called Facebook.

According to the financial report at the time, in December 2016, Facebook's average daily active users were 1.23 billion, of which the average daily active users of mobile were 1.15 billion. Total revenue in fiscal 2016 was $27.638 billion, of which revenue from advertising business was $26.885 billion, payment and other expenses revenue was $753 million, and net profit in fiscal 2016 was $10.217 billion. The total market capitalization is over $420 billion!

At this time, Facebook had just been launched in February of this year, and they had not even gotten their first angel investment.

Lin Feng would never give up such an opportunity.

Even he chose private investment this time to avoid unnecessary doubts from the domestic government about the relationship between Fengxing and Facebook in equity in the future.

As for Myspace, it's good to be a good investment, and it should be a good investment to wait until next year when it will be acquired by News Corp.

First of all, through these two investments, let's examine Zhang Jing's ability to do things.

The internationalization strategy is one of the important strategies that will prevail in the future, and it must be handed over to a person who can be trusted in terms of ability and character.

Zhang Jing is currently the most suitable candidate, but he is not the only one.

And when it comes to gaming, the significance of overseas investment is even more important!

You must know that in the future, one of the most influential games in the world, League of Legends (referred to as LOL), was developed by Riot Games (Riot Games) in Los Angeles, and in the previous life, Tencent relied on the agent LOL, turned over in one fell swoop, became the NO1 of domestic games, and finally completed the acquisition of Riotgames, and based on the game, developed the mobile game "Glory of Kings" that amazed everyone.

……

In addition to investment, the establishment of the Fengxing Research Institute in Silicon Valley is a more far-reaching consideration in Lin Feng's heart.

In the long run, the real opponent of Fengxing will be Ali.

Whether it's based on social networking or e-commerce, the two companies will eventually go head-to-head in areas such as cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence.

At this time, it is time to start accumulating relevant talents and technologies!

It is no exaggeration to say that at least half of the world's top high-tech talents are in Silicon Valley at this stage!

For Lin Feng, the current Silicon Valley, whether it is a company or a talent, can be said to be full of gold, why not grab it?
