Vol 5 Chapter 808: Must believe

When Feng Yiping and Lao Ma had a meeting together, Silicon Valley was at the peak of get off work hours.

Although it is Christmas two days later, today I still have to go to work and have to work overtime. Most people in Silicon Valley will still be in a good mood.

Thinking of the situation last year and the year before, they are satisfied.

At that meeting, it was by chance that it was not fired. Most of this meeting has already been given a big holiday, but that is not a welfare, it is a measure taken by the company to save expenses.

Taking advantage of Christmas and New Year, the original one-week holiday is extended to two weeks, so that offices and laboratories can be closed to save money.

Naturally, it will, and you don't have to expect it to be paid vacation.

But this year, despite the multiple effects of sluggish employment growth, double deficits, and sharp rises in energy prices, as predicted by Feng Yiping’s magazine in its inaugural issue at the beginning of the year, the overall situation of the US economy is indeed quite good. Road experts say that the economic growth rate for the whole year of this year will definitely exceed 4%.

The salary stubs of well-known Silicon Valley executives disclosed by the media these days also illustrate this point. On average, the salary of senior executives of Silicon Valley companies this year has generally risen by more than 50%.

Judging from the public list, Yahoo CEO Semel topped the list with $230.6 million.

In the company related to Feng Yiping, Peppa and Brin couldn't make the list because they both announced this year that they only received an annual salary of $1 from the company.

Because the infrastructure, operating costs, and other related management costs are too high, YouTube, which is not yet profitable at this time, has also been filled with a beaming atmosphere over the past two days.

Although their salary is not comparable to those of the executives on the list, it is very good from the average level of Silicon Valley. For example, Ma Ling's salary has exceeded $500,000 this year.

Her salary is high, and the treatment of her team is naturally good, but it is not without problems, because of the nature of their team work, even during the Christmas period, they still have to arrange a considerable part of the staff on duty.

All employees of Feng Yiping’s companies are also facing another problem. It seems that they don’t want to spend this Christmas in a tourist resort abroad, because Feng Yiping announced that it will be on the second day of Christmas, which is 26 No., hold a party, the reason is so powerful that even Google agrees.

This opportunity to get close to the big boss is naturally hard to miss, so many families have postponed their family outing plans.

Ma Ling didn't quite understand why Feng Yiping chose to hold the party on this day, but as long as he came back around the 26th, that would be a good thing.

She sent the duty schedule to everyone's mailbox, and hurried home.

Before she could open the door, the bell on the garland made of holly branches rang, and Vincent appeared from behind the door, "Mom, will you take me out to play now,"

Seeing his son's expectant look in his small eyes, looking at his miserable appearance, Ma Ling hesitated.

Since she bumped into Huang Jingping and Amanda again on Thanksgiving Day, she has been very careful about the timing of taking her son out, especially in some activities that most people would participate in, so she wouldn't go if she didn't.

For example, the Children’s Christmas Parade in Silicon Valley at the beginning of the month.

It seems that Silicon Valley is still too small, and Amanda over there seems to be very close to Vincent’s brother by nature, but after seeing it in the car once, she remembers it so clearly.

If I met Amanda again, Ma Ling really couldn't find a reason to still not let them play together.

But looking at this yard with many lights and decorations and a strong Christmas atmosphere, she nodded, "Well, we will go to San Jose for dinner tonight, and then, how about going to the Central Park there? I heard that it has been pretty good these two days. Fun,"

She made this decision because, logically, Huang Jingping would not go to San Jose but choose to go to San Francisco even if she was going to bring Amanda out.

"Great!" Vincent kissed his mother happily.

…………

Although it is winter and the temperature is not high, California's trees are still lush and full of vitality.

On both sides of the street, the houses hidden under the green trees will generally be illuminated.

Lanterns are hung under the eaves, Santa Claus is standing on the porch, and on the lawn are various ingenious sculptures: the deer with Santa Claus, the cute penguins, the chubby snowman...

Even those families who seem to be too lazy to do it will buy a few cardboards with Santa Claus painted on them, and put them on the branches in front of the house, or stick them on sticks and stick them in the grass.

The shops passing by this road, inside and out, are decorated with dazzlingly decorated Christmas trees of all sizes.

"Mom, when do we buy the Christmas tree?" Vincent asked, lying on the car window.

Ma Ling estimated how long Feng Yiping might be in the United States, "Buy today, okay?"

…………

At this time, Amanda, who had just returned from San Francisco during the day, whipped her mother to take her out to play again, "Mom, look, today’s night scene is the most beautiful, let’s go out, okay,"

Huang Jingping is not very interested in the so-called night scene here, "Go to San Francisco again?" she asked.

"Okay, okay," Amanda jumped with her mother's thigh.

"Didn't you just come back? When Dad comes back, let's go out and see, OK?"

"No, I'm going out," Amanda is a girl who can't stay at home and always wants to play outside.

"Perhaps, we can go to San Jose?" Carol, who rushed over, came up with an idea when he heard the noise.

"There is a tradition in the central park there. Every time there is a Christmas tree exhibition, faebook sponsored one this year."

"In order for the children to have fun, there is a fairy tale house over there, as well as amusement facilities like a small train,"

"The fairy tale house? Is there Snow White? Mom, I'm going to see the fairy tale house, I'm going to see Snow White," Amanda called immediately.

She doesn't pay attention to the faebook Christmas tree or something, or she doesn't really care about Snow White in the fairy tale house. For her, it's good to be able to play outside.

"Okay, okay," Huang Jingping reluctantly agreed to her daughter.

Knowing that Feng Yiping will come to the United States for Christmas, she is in a particularly good mood these past two days.

…………

In the past two days, the small central park in downtown San Jose has been very lively all day long.

It is said that this Christmas tree exhibition, which has been held for more than 20 years, attracts nearly 500,000 people every year.

The peak period of the visit is naturally at night. Only in the evening, nearly a thousand Christmas trees on both sides of the main road of the park are lit up ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ That scene is spectacular enough.

Coming out of a steakhouse, Vincent, who was still holding a cup of hot cocoa, walked happily in front of Maling, "Mom, mom, come look,"

Next to these Christmas trees, there are many other decorations, such as the traditional gingerbread man hut that children love. This will attract Vincent, a giant soldier who is guarding several giant gift boxes.

"You wait," Ma Ling picked up his son and walked to the stalls in front.

Just like in China, a variety of stall vendors are naturally indispensable for such a crowded occasion.

She walked past Vincent’s coveted hot dog stall, past a small stall full of small gifts that Vincent was dizzying to see, and stopped in front of a stall selling Christmas hats. "Like it?"

"like,"

Not only did Ma Ling buy one for Vincent, he also bought one for himself, and he also wore the hat very deep. In her opinion, this can be regarded as a disguise. Let the little girl not I will see my son at a glance.

"Mom, why are all cups hanging on this Christmas tree?"

That is the Christmas tree of Starbucks, and it is naturally full of his coffee cups.

At this moment, in the parking lot next to him, Amanda looked at the bright night scene over there, listened to the crowd of people over there, insisted on getting out of her mother's arms, and kept urging her, "Mom, hurry up. "

…………

At this time, Feng Yiping ended the review and summary meeting he hosted, and walked out side by side with Lao Ma, preparing to lead these guys in Ali for a brief tour.

"It is the most troublesome to deal with the relationship with some local governments," Lao Ma said with some emotion, thinking about the issues discussed at the meeting just now.

"Who said no, really, it's hard to do anything," Feng Yiping said.
