Chapter 3019 Force Majeure

Jin Ling was also a little puzzled. When did we not care about our image?

"I mainly mean," Feng Yiping tried not to look too serious, "the development of the Internet has reached a new stage,"

"For us, at this stage, whether it is business model, user scale, human resources, financial strength, or brand reputation... we are in a leading position and are being caught up,"

"So I think the way we do things should be adjusted accordingly,"

Lao Ma still doesn't understand what you are talking about.

But since he has laid so much groundwork, it seems like this is a big problem?

Or is it a big problem that both Brother Ma and I have...?

"For example, we could learn from other people's practices in the past. This is how everyone got here anyway,"

Oh, Lao Ma suddenly understood, it turned out to be this?

He couldn't help but blush again.

In front of people like Feng Yiping who understand everything, it is of course difficult to say those high-sounding words.

"A single star is not conducive to the development of the entire industry. Spring is when a hundred flowers bloom,"

"In some respects, I think our European and American counterparts still have something for us to learn from. We have discovered some good products and we can now acquire them,"

"At our level, if we still actively learn from others, it will easily make new entrepreneurs despair. Then what future does our industry have?"

We have to give those new startups a way to survive, right?

"I believe that we will eventually become a great company, which of course requires us to be more strict with ourselves,"

Lao Ma lowered his head and said, "You are right Yi Ping, but you may not know that we have not done that for a long time. Of course, Xiao Ma's side..." He paused artistically.

Sure enough, the opponents of these years are all under Feng Yiping's banner. It would be really difficult to quickly get rid of all the grudges against them.

However, relatively speaking, the two of them maintained a good relationship both publicly and personally. After all, although they had competed before, they were not each other's main competitors.

“Our investment department has made many moves in the past two years,” Lao Ma said.

"I know very well about this aspect," Jin Ling said gently, ending the topic, "I would like to ask, Yiping, what do you think we still need to strengthen? In other words, what do you think we will do in the future? What might be the biggest problem we face? ”

This is the natural advantage of women. It is always easier for them to change the topic very tactfully.

"The biggest problem we may face," Feng Yiping sighed, "is the same problem that all multinational companies will face,"

Lao Ma and Jin Ling suddenly understood.

"So, is this why you separated this side from the United States?" Jin Ling asked.

The biggest problems and risks that multinational companies face are, of course, the risks of investing in some countries and regions. These risks come from outside of business. It can be said that they are force majeure.

In reality, Jiasheng may face more such force majeure.

"Yes, I think so," Feng Yiping nodded.

Including the previous introduction of so many institutions to invest in NEXTDOOR, is it not out of this consideration?

"As we further expand our business abroad, such risks are becoming greater and greater. Therefore, we urgently need to create a better operating environment in all countries and regions where we have established business,"

He and Jin Ling looked at Lao Ma at the same time, "Fortunately, Lao Ma, you are very suitable for this kind of job."

"What does it mean to be suitable?" Lao Ma said. "Boss, you are not willing to do it, so you just passed it on to me."

"Those who are able should work harder," Feng Yiping said, "but even so, even if our relevant work is done very well, it may be difficult to avoid such risks,"

This is a problem that he has been worried about since he started his business abroad.

The world is flat, but that doesn’t mean everyone’s path is flat.

"You can only do your best," Lao Ma said. "And you support Buchanan, right?"

Feng Yiping nodded.

"You..." Lao Ma suddenly stood up, put his hands on his waist, and walked back and forth in front of them excitedly, "Haha," he gave a thumbs up to Feng Yiping, "Great!"

"ox!"

Jin Ling, who had known about this plan for a long time, couldn't help but look at Feng Yiping with pride, this was his daughter's father!

Lao Ma thought again, "From this perspective, we really need to strengthen the two aspects you just mentioned. If not, it is likely to increase our risks in this area."

…………

In front of the auditorium of his alma mater, Feng Yiping was signing autographs for enthusiastic alumni. The banner in the auditorium read "Feng Yiping donated..."

Returning to school this time, Feng Yiping donated 500 million yuan to multiple laboratories at his alma mater, including new energy batteries, automobiles, intelligent identification and other laboratories.

At the same time, they also had in-depth exchanges on strengthening cooperation between the company and the school in scientific research.

Although such donations have continued over the years, and the cooperation between the school and Feng Yiping Company in research and development has become closer and closer, he still receives such a warm welcome every time he returns to school.

When his hands were sore from signing autographs, some teachers and students from the student union finally persuaded those enthusiastic students, some of whom were not necessarily from the school, to leave, giving Feng Yiping the opportunity to step onto the lawn in front of the auditorium again.

Of course, there were still many classmates around excitedly watching him smile happily.

Looking at this familiar campus, Feng Yiping felt a little emotional. Another year was gradually coming to an end.

This year, many memorable things happened, including that on October 5, Jobs died at home after watching Apple's autumn press conference that was specially adjusted for him.

What Feng Yiping regretted was that he had never seen Jobs again since the party on the yacht.

The same was true for Page and Brin.

He was a proud man, and he should not be happy to let people see his weak side. Perhaps the more friends like Feng Yiping, the more unwilling they were.

Associated with such sentimental things was Apple's iPhone 4S, which this time could not completely crush Android.

As a mobile phone that Jobs still participated in the development, it cannot be said that it is not excellent, mainly because of the crazy catch-up of Android companies.

This year, a large number of dual-core mobile phones emerged in Android, so that in this year, dual-core can be said to represent high-end.

Apple did not launch their first dual-core mobile phone until the fourth quarter. Of course, you can say that your single-core is better than many dual-cores, but the problem is that it is impossible for everyone to buy into such remarks.

As a result, Android has gradually formed a certain collective advantage over iPhone.

For Feng Yiping, the most happy thing is that because of the installed base, the advertising revenue of the Android platform has once again significantly narrowed the gap with Apple.

Although under the same traffic, IOS's advertising revenue, especially iPad advertising revenue, is still far ahead of Android products, but thinking of the hardware that Rubin is actively developing, Feng Yiping believes that in this regard, there is a possibility of overtaking in the future.

In short, this year, with the departure of Jobs, the competitive situation between Apple and Android is also changing.

Of course, collectively speaking, the relationship between Apple and Feng Yiping's company is still very harmonious. Jobs' last effort made Apple pass his private placement proposal, and the joint fund therefore held 1.8% of Apple's shares.

And the fierce head-on competition between them in terms of patents has also come to an end. After the alliance led by Apple won the Nortel Networks patent in early October and was approved by regulatory agencies of various countries, Android's acquisition of Motorola was also officially approved by countries around the world at the beginning of this month.

Feng Yiping's pressure has once again increased. After the official acquisition of Motorola, they have added nearly 20,000 employees at once...

Standing in front of the school motto stone of "Self-improvement and Virtue", Feng Yiping smiled and waved to everyone, and left quickly.

And on this day, a parent of a freshman in grade 11 looked at the photos of Feng Yiping that were always associated with the school in the related search, and sighed silently.

With this guy around, it is really too difficult to make your princess the most well-known representative of the school...
