Vol 6 Chapter 889: the difference

In the banquet hall of the Taj Mahal Hotel, after Ma’s finished his ebullient speech, Feng Yiping stood in front of the crowd, “I’m sorry that I didn’t spend the Spring Festival with everyone, and I didn’t even catch up with the Lantern Festival. But fortunately, we caught up with the 16th of the first lunar month,"

He raised his glass, "Happy Chinese New Year, Happy Lantern Festival!"

"Yeah!" The main players of the banquet, the e-commerce employees stationed in India and the Chinese employees of Facebook and other companies suddenly cheered.

Hearing everyone's cheers, Lao Ma said to his heart that his speech was still a bit long. In this case, the shorter and more precise the better.

However, they are the bosses, so the chance to be more brilliant should have been left to him.

At this moment, a large group of executives from China and India gathered around with wine glasses, but those from the Indian side walked in front. He glanced at Feng Yiping, and the situation was the same.

He thought, this might be understandable. Why in Silicon Valley, the elites cultivated by domestic universities are not as good as Indians in terms of achievement.

Because in the face of such an opportunity, they are always less active than Indians.

He smiled and answered the most concerned questions of Indian e-commerce company executives, "...We have held Double Eleven and the year-end New Year shopping festival. The growth rate in these years is indeed very fast, but our investment behind this every year , More growth,"

"I think you should be very clear that at the moment after zero, our platform must be able to withstand such an impact and still be smooth under the influx of payments at a flow rate of a thousand times or even higher. How much pressure has been put under

Whether it’s Double Eleven or the New Year’s Festival held in Laba every year, it is currently not only the most important project of the e-commerce year, but also internationally, which has aroused widespread repercussions.

Bezos has discussed this issue with Feng Yiping more than once. To Feng Yiping and the others, he can create two shopping festivals comparable to the "Black Friday", which is rare to hide his envy.

Last year, Double Eleven exceeded 15 billion, with sales of 16.1 billion, successfully making it a phenomenon-level project, which attracted widespread attention from all walks of life, and naturally became a key point for foreign colleagues to study seriously. .

For Indian companies that are eager to make achievements, this is of course their focus. In other words, they should have been under pressure from Ladantata and Mukesh Ambani before choosing to work with Lao Ma. Communicate this issue as soon as possible.

Feng Yiping was also asked this question, "We all know that eagerness to achieve results will not only fail to get the results we want, but it is very likely to have an irreparable negative impact on us."

"In my opinion, from the results of the stress test at the end of last year, our results from the technical department to the customer service department were very unsatisfactory, especially in terms of logistics. There is still a very big gap from our requirements."

"Under such circumstances, the shopping festival was launched in a hurry. As a result, users who were looking forward to staying up late, when they finally waited for the goods in their shopping carts to be settled, found that our website broke down."

"But this may still be the beginning, because they later discovered that the goods ordered on this year's Double Eleven can only be delivered at the beginning of the following year before being express..."

In terms of the current logistics system of the Indian company, Feng Yiping's seeming joke is probably true.

"In this way, it is not just a shopping festival, but our brand that is destroyed."

"I don't want to, the result of everyone's hard work has become a negative example of haste but not achieved,"

Seeing everyone embarrassed and unable to help but disappointed, he was relieved, "First patiently lay the foundation, as long as our foundation is good, there will be some results in the future."

"I also want to reassure you that we will not put too much pressure on you in this regard,"

These words made many people truly relieved.

The main reason why they pay so much attention to the shopping festival, in addition to thinking of results, is also the main reason for pressure from above.

Feng Yiping said that, it should mean that he will communicate with the other two Tata and Ambani who often come to the company on this aspect.

They all raised their glasses happily...

…………

In front of the dining table, Feng Yiping, holding a spring roll, and Lao Ma holding a plate of rice cakes finally met. This was also when the banquet began, and they finally had a chance to eat a few bites.

Lao Ma said with emotion, "These Indian colleagues, there are indeed many things we can learn from."

"They are really like scholars. They know astronomy from the top, and geography from the bottom, and they can always combine the actual quotations. They really have a stance of understanding."

"In terms of high-level talents..." He looked at the Indians who gathered together, and then at the elites of the companies selected from the country, and felt a big gap. "When they reported to me, they rarely Mention these aspects,"

"However, it is not difficult to understand,"

This is of course not difficult to understand.

How could the elites sent from China talk to him about how powerful Indian colleagues are when reporting to him?

Feng Yiping forked a piece of rice cake from his plate, "Well, it tastes good, I have to have one too,"

Looking at the look of the old horse, he knew that the old horse must be associated with other aspects, for example, we will be surpassed.

"Old horse, don't think too much," he nodded and gestured to an Indian executive wearing a turban. The other party saw that he was still eating spring rolls and could only leave temporarily.

"The executives hired by Indian companies are either from the Indian Institute of Technology or from the National Institute of Management in India. These two universities are really one in a million in India."

"After being admitted, to a certain extent, it will be the same as our middle school back then. A great future is just around the corner."

"Because of the training of these two universities, these admitted people will definitely become qualified and high-quality talents. Each of them will be selected by a world-class company before graduation."

"Therefore, although these two universities in India rank lower than our top universities in the international rankings, in fact, the graduates of these two schools are really more competitive than the graduates of our top domestic universities. force,"

"So, many Indians are very proud. Many people in these two schools said that they don't care about rankings, they only care about grades."

"But on a large scale, is this really a matter of pride?"

Lao Ma thought about the achievements of the Indians in the high-tech field, and nodded, "There are indeed reasons to be proud."

Feng Yiping smiled, "Think about it, if we concentrate 80% of the resources for all engineering universities in China into one university, and this university only enrolls 4,000 people a year, do you think that from this Are the graduates from a university worse than the people you just met?"

"Oh~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Lao Ma suddenly understood.

Feng Yiping nodded, "I see, no matter what kind of country, a small group of people trained by the whole country will certainly not be bad, but what about the overall quality of the people?"

"In contrast to this small group of elites, there are still a large number of illiterate people here,"

Speaking of illiteracy, Feng Yiping wanted to shake his head again. We did the same writing in Qin Shihuang's meeting. However, in India, as the official language of India, almost half of the people in the country can't speak it. Can you believe it?

Because each state in India has a high degree of independence in legislation. In order to maintain its own cultural independence, they only teach the language of the state in the educational institutions of the state. There are different languages, all of India, plus, there are more than 300 common languages...

For example, in the Indian ruble, in order for everyone to understand, it has to use more than thirty languages ​​to describe the denomination...

A college student from a state went to the next state and found that he was illiterate... This is really no joke.

The result of this is that the communication between high-level talents in India is mainly in English-but to a certain extent, it has improved their international competitiveness.

So some things are really hard to say.

But in general, after learning about India, Feng Yiping is really not too worried about the proposition that they will surpass us. Dreams, sometimes they can only be dreams.

"That said, I feel more relieved," Lao Ma smiled and clinked glasses with Feng Yiping.

"Think about logistics in India again," Feng Yiping shook his head.

The old horse will also smile heartily, "Haha, I have some understanding, why are you so generous in India, such a guy who always likes fat and water not to flow into the field of outsiders,"
