Chapter 2977 Exchange
Just like every short holiday trip in China, you will be fooled by the expressway. Just like the quality of tourists from various countries, there is actually no difference. The process of inspections by leaders of various countries is also the same.
After joining Facebook, in addition to randomly chatting with employees to show his personal charm, O'Hei spent most of the time listening to some introductions to the company by his two Harvard alumni.
Like the companies inspected all over the world, these introductions mainly focused on the company's achievements and contributions in the public domain.
The person who introduced him looked very serious, and the people listening also looked very interested, but everyone knew that this was just a formality. Feng Yiping didn't waste time at this time. He called the third son Matthew's mother. , "You still haven't come over?"
Like many American women, Mayer was very supportive of O'Hei when he was campaigning and was considered a big fan of his.
What's more, unlike the others, she was a girl who liked to be in the spotlight, so she shouldn't miss the opportunity presented to her.
Unexpectedly, Mayer said coldly, "I have more important things to deal with now,"
"Or, you can come to the office and replace me?"
How could this Feng Yiping be willing to say, "Well, see you at the venue,"
He knows that Mayer really has a lot of work to deal with now. Xiao O'Hei's trip to Silicon Valley is very full, and he puts the companies related to Feng Yiping first. After finishing the Facebook trip, he also Will go to the Tesla factory to inspect. As the person in charge behind the scenes, Mayer has a lot to arrange.
In particular, Facebook has no requirements for the government, but Tesla, which has already developed, now feels that it has every reason to enjoy the government's financial support for the new energy industry, which is low-interest loans.
Rather than handing over precious federal funds to other unreliable new car-making forces to squander, it would be better to let them help Tesla's development.
Therefore, the next inspection - the official name in the United States is "visit", is the highlight that Mayer needs to prepare for.
They hope to get at least 500 million U.S. dollars in financial support from the federal government. Although there is no shortage of money, who would not give you money that is almost in vain for several years?
As soon as he hung up the phone, he found a middle-aged man with a bald head and a big belly standing in front of him with a smile on his face. He nodded, "Daly,"
"Feng," Xiao Aohei's new chief of staff talked to Feng Yiping for the first time, "Nice to meet you,"
He originally planned to make a mark. After all, when he served as the U.S. Secretary of Commerce and led the WTO negotiations with China, Feng Yiping was still unknown. But now, he has taken a few steps forward. Some of them are worth millions under one person. It means above people.
But as soon as Feng Yiping approached, he realized, "Hey, why did I take the initiative to laugh?"
Feng Yiping has no perfunctory interest in people like Daley, because if he wants to have any influence on O'Hei, there is no need for him to let some middlemen make the difference.
On the other hand, if Daley were still Secretary of Commerce, he might be more interested.
He nodded, "I hope you have a good time,"
Seeing that he meant to leave, Daly quickly said, "Maybe you don't have the impression, but actually, this is not the first time we have met,"
Feng Yiping was also not impressed by this. For him, such things have long been commonplace. People in the audience all remember the people on the stage. How can the people on the stage know all the people in the audience?
"I was there when you first met Barack," Daley added hastily.
"Oh," Feng Yiping became a little interested now, and he thought for a moment, "You also attended that ceremony, oh, on behalf of your family... I understand,"
He extended his hand again, "Nice to meet you!"
The first time he met O'Hei was at the ceremony to invest in NAVTEQ in Chicago, and Daley was invited to attend, which was very normal.
Because their family was one of the most powerful families in Chicago, and at that time Feng Yiping and that event could not allow his brother Daley to attend. His brother was, and is still, the mayor of Chicago.
But he will step down next month, and his replacement is the person who sat in Daley's current position, O'Hei's former chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel - this is really like an exchange, and it is very Maybe it's an exchange.
Daley's family was in Chicago, which was quite prominent. His father, after being elected mayor of Chicago in 1955, held this position until his death in 1976, a period of 21 years.
And his elder brother is not inferior. He has been elected mayor of Chicago for 22 years since he was elected in 1989.
Their family can therefore be said to have controlled Chicago, the most important city in central America, for nearly half a century.
And he himself also has many connections in the political and business circles. Feng Yiping feels that after such a guy leaves office, he can still consider bringing down the company.
Not to mention, maybe we can form a team composed of former U.S. cabinet officials. At least, we can put together the economic decision-making team of the U.S. government. There is already a former Secretary of the Treasury, and this is the former Secretary of Commerce. If the former The trade representative was also brought in, and everything was almost done.
Daley, an important figure in the Democratic Party, was very happy. Feng Yiping was very happy, "I hope there will be more opportunities to communicate with you in the future,"
Feng Yiping said, "I am very happy,"
In such an occasion, the conversation can only reach this level.
The front of the team was moving forward at this time. They quickly passed through the first building. Outside the building, an open-air venue had been prepared. The folding chairs were full of people. This was the highlight of Obama's visit to Facebook. He will give a speech to some specially invited people and employees of the NEXTDOOR campus here.
And his speech will be broadcast live directly on Facebook.
Obama's opening was very relevant to the theme and very distinctive. "I just got good news. The hit rate of my Facebook page has exceeded 15 million times. I have already felt the jealousy of some people in Beverly Hills."
"I think this is a good sign, because everyone knows that the main purpose of my visit to Silicon Valley this time is to hope that the rulers of this high-tech capital can make more contributions to our economy."
"And these contributions include, but are not limited to, increasing taxes on successful entrepreneurs..."
The current main task of his government is of course economic recovery, but this is not going well. After Standard & Poor's previously said that it would lower the credit rating of the United States, their main task is to reduce the deficit.
A very effective way to reduce the deficit is to increase government revenue, and a very effective way to increase government revenue is to increase taxes on the rich.
And Silicon Valley is really full of the objects he wants to tax.
Feng Yiping has not yet expressed his position on this. It depends on whether the team of Aubrey is willing to provide Tesla with low-interest loans and how much loans to provide.

In Cupertino, Jobs was still talking to Cook, his chosen successor, "…Although cooperating with Feng's company will encounter some resistance in the company, especially at the lower level, from a global perspective, strengthening cooperation with Feng's company is obviously beneficial to us,"
"China will always be our most important overseas market, and cooperating with Feng's company will be very beneficial to our development in the Chinese market,"
"…As Nokia has fallen into an unstoppable decline, Samsung is currently the most likely challenge to us in the field of smartphones,"
"The closer Samsung is to our supplier system, the less secure we are. You will... I must make this clear to everyone..."
"If there is a chance, it would be a good choice to communicate with Feng as much as before. It would also be a great idea to maintain friendship with him at a higher level,"
"Tim, I believe you will find that Feng is a shrewd and successful businessman. He is also a person who respects contracts and cares about his reputation. Excluding other factors, such a partner is an ideal partner..."
"Feng's new proposal is of course selfish,"
Not to mention Jobs, even Cook knows that Feng Yiping's move is equivalent to tying his company to Apple and Google in essence.
This greatly increases the difficulty of those who would target his company because of his identity.
"But from our point of view, this is of course beneficial to Apple,"
"So Tim, I hope that you can work with me to convince the board of directors to pass and implement my proposed private placement to United Fund and others as soon as possible..."
