As the Internet e-commerce company with the highest market value in the world, as a veteran business leader-Feng Yiping was still in elementary school, she had already worked for P&G, Bain Capital and other well-known companies, and finally became Disney’s vice president, Whitman After arriving in Davos, the schedule was also very full.

Like Feng Yiping, many people who knew or didn't know came to her.

People who don't know come to her, in addition to selling high-end scarce luxury goods like islands to her, there are also some, so that they can use eBay and PayPal to help their own business development.

There are naturally many acquaintances to find her, and the increasingly influential World Economic Forum also provides a rare opportunity for businessmen from all over the world to meet and communicate. On other occasions, I want to bring so many people together. It is not an easy task.

As Whitman once said before Feng Yiping, eBay's business has spread all over the world, and it has partners all over the world. The relationship with local governments also requires public relations.

So not only were people looking for her, she also took the initiative to visit officials from some countries that had already arrived.

At this time, after meeting with the French officials, she hurried back to the hotel where she was staying. Here, another meeting was waiting for her to preside.

Economically developed Europe is naturally outside North America, and eBay needs to focus on developing areas. Taking this opportunity, she gathered all the business leaders from all European countries to meet, cheer, and find out.

Thanks to the overall improvement of the world economy in the past two years, with the improvement of technology, especially the increase in broadband speed and other favorable conditions, eBay’s performance in Europe has also improved to a considerable extent. This meeting has a neat atmosphere. Rapport.

Of course, according to Whitman’s temperament, this meeting will not always be so friendly. Some regional leaders who did not work well were lightly let go at the end of last year, but this does not mean they can continue in their original positions. Stay.

We did not deal with it at the end of last year, and we waited for today.

After the successive abolition of two persons in charge of poor work and poor performance, the atmosphere of this internal meeting of eBay quickly became serious. In any case, the regional director is a very good position and deserves everyone's attention. treat.

Looking at the awe in those people's eyes when they looked at him, Whitman was very satisfied. The facts once again proved that such a thunder method is indeed one of the best ways to establish prestige.

For a professional manager like her, it is not enough to just give a satisfactory answer to the board of directors. If there is not enough prestige among the company's executives, then his position will be easily challenged.

Speaking of it, the Whitmans have paid a lot behind their glory.

But it is precisely because of their location that many people are eyeing their location all the time.

Therefore, for them, workplace competition and office politics are real challenges and threats, and they must be highly vigilant at all times.

Feng Yiping does not need to use such thunder means to maintain his authority and consolidate his position, but Whitman is indispensable.

Watched by more than a dozen regional executives, Whitman walked out of the meeting room, and in a good mood, Whitman had just poured a glass of wine and had not had a sip. The news reported by the assistant suddenly made her mood worse. , "The Jack from China just arrived and went to Feng's hotel for the first time,"

This time, it was not Feng Yiping that she was annoyed at. San Jose Airport was at a disadvantage again, and it was still vivid. The scars were not healed. Naturally, she could not forget the pain so quickly.

Reason told her that at this time, Feng Yiping really shouldn't anger Feng Yiping anymore, it is destined to have no good results.

But for the old horse, she couldn't restrain her anger, why are you here too?

Not long after Taobao went online, she once lightly stated her judgment to the outside world, "It will die in 18 months,"

Whitman remembered it clearly. It was July 2003 when he said that. From then to now, it was no more, no less, just 18 months, but did Taobao die?

not at all! They are developing well!

Not only did they not, but with Feng Yiping, they had actually squeezed their business in China to a small corner.

Not only that, at the end of last year, Microsoft's MSN, in order to compete with China's local instant messaging tools, decided to find a partner in China. In the end, they chose Taobao.

In all countries except China, Microsoft chose eBay globally, which is already a heavy slap in the face.

And this time since Jack, it was not a slap in the face.

Whitman himself has not forgotten the rhetoric he made at the beginning. It is conceivable that quite a few of his colleagues will not forget his initial rhetoric, but some have forgotten it. After seeing Jack, he will probably remember .

Many of them are the same as themselves, with poor ability to recognize Asians, but who would let Jack be the kind of person who is easy to remember for you because of inborn reasons?

Well, Whitman can imagine that everyone who sees Jack will inevitably laugh at themselves. Every look they look at is equivalent to a slap in the face. So why should you come too? This occasion?

…………

"Old Ma," "Yiping," Feng Yiping stood at the door of the hotel, welcoming the old Ma who had just arrived.

Whitman's dissatisfaction was not within their consideration, or that Whitman was not important enough for them to examine their behavior.

As for why Lao Ma came back to Davos, it is very simple. His e-commerce platform needs Davos to promote it. He also hopes to hear more opinions and learn more in this Davos annual meeting. experience of.

As for his appearance, it might make Whitman ugly, so what's wrong with me? Are you asking for it?

"The road goes well?"

"It went well," Lao Ma stretched his body. "I was still a little confused. Once I got here, I suddenly woke up. There is a gathering of talents here. How many interesting opinions can we hear these days?"

At this time, the old horse hadn't come to the time when he would output his opinions every time he went there. Now on such occasions, he can only be a listener.

It is not because some of his views are immature at this time, but because he can only be regarded as a start-up career, which is not enough to support him to attract many celebrities to listen to his voice, that is, his strength is not enough.

What Feng Yiping worries about may come from peers and challenges from the media. Lao Ma will not have such troubles yet.

"Why didn't SoftBank's President Sun come this time?" Feng Yiping asked. He also plans to take this opportunity to negotiate with SoftBank to clear the obstacles to the merger with Ali.

"He said that there is a very important job to deal with," Lao Ma said.

"Do you think it is possible that he was avoiding us on purpose?" Feng Yiping asked.

"I don't rule out the possibility. It is understandable for him to avoid the edge when facing you." Lao Ma smiled and patted the young partner on the shoulder. "As far as I know, he used to negotiate. The means, for you, will have no effect at all,"

Sun Zhengyi, who is short, is very tough against entrepreneurs, but Feng Yiping is a stronger entrepreneur than him.

"Don't worry, he won't avoid seeing him all the time. He shouldn't have a comprehensive strategy for talking to you yet. He may also hope to get some information from your statement at this annual meeting."

"In short~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the general trend is that he can't stop what we have to do, right?"

It should have been in contact with SoftBank a lot. Lao Ma obviously knows how to do that.

Yes, at most it will take more time and more work, "I'll introduce to you, this is Cummins, the person in charge of our American part,"

"Thank you, thank you for your support of our e-commerce business," Ma said to Cummins.

The overseas business, that is, the purchase of light luxury products directly from the United States for sale on the platform, Feng Yiping gave it to Cummins.

"This is Mike, Zach, Sandberg from Facebook, and this is Randolph from YouTube..."

Feng Yiping's meeting with them has always been very kind and happy. We all know Ma's eloquence. With just a few words, these American elites immediately looked at him with admiration.

Looking at the old horse with ease, Feng Yiping was also very emotional. It is true that his character determines his fate.
