When she learned that Dibao.com was established, Ms. Whitman, the CEO of eBay, who was far away in the United States, immediately flew to Shanghai. She was optimistic about this market, which is second only to North America. Once she can occupy it, she will definitely make millions of dollars every year. The company brings huge profits.
Although China is still developing and its per capita income is not high, if only urbanites are counted, the per capita income can already be considered medium. The important thing is that China has a large population. According to the standards of a well-off family, half of the annual income can meet material life. If the remaining half is used for investment or spiritual life, there are many well-off families in China.
How many people are there in North America? Even if one-third of them are eBay registered users, it would only be in the tens of millions. But China has a population of more than one billion, one-twentieth of which is equivalent to the North American market.
Also coming with Whitman was Kirilenko. He had nothing to do in the United States. He stopped by China to have some fun and then returned to Moscow.
A special plane parked at the airport in Shanghai, and Kirilenko and Whitman got off the plane.
Feng Yu stood below and came to pick up his old friend in person.
"Feng, why didn't you go to the United States to see me for so long?" Kirilenko hugged Feng Yu hard.
"Didn't I tell you that my wife is pregnant and I will be in the country during this period. Besides, if I don't come over, why can't you come over?"
"Hello, Mr. Feng, I am Whitman, the president and CEO of eBay." Whitman stretched out her right hand towards Feng Yu.
Feng Yu was also very interested in getting to know this legendary female executive. If she hadn't already been working at eBay, Feng Yu would have wanted to poach her to Amazon. Many people in previous lives said that eBay's development was inseparable from Whitman's efforts, and even eBay's shareholders acknowledged it.
Before Whitman's term came to an end, she personally selected eBay's successor. It was her colleagues at the previous company who allowed eBay to continue to develop well.
Whitman herself went to pursue her new job and became the president of Huipu. The salary given to her by Huipu was not higher than that given by eBay. It was a new challenge she chose for herself.
"Hello, Ms. Whitman, if you were not working in Kirilenko's company, I think I would have personally hired you to join my company." Feng Yu made no secret of his admiration for Whitman.
"Thank you Mr. Feng for your appreciation. I am very happy working at eBay, and I am also confident that eBay will become a giant in the multinational retail industry!" Whitman raised her chin, unable to hide her pride in her tone.
"Feng, what am I talking about? You can't poach her." Kirilenko said proudly from the side.
At first, he thought Whitman was a woman and despised him very much. Later, he also discovered that this woman was really extraordinary. She was indeed better than most men. She was also very good at business management. She was indispensable for Yibei's success today.
Of course, Kirilenko also learned from Feng Yu and would not treat his subordinates badly. The stock awards given to Whitman are also very generous. When Whitman's term is up, he will earn at least hundreds of millions of dollars worth of eBay stock. This is a treatment that many CEOs of large companies do not have.
"Hahaha, I also have a good management team, so I won't compete with you. But if one day she gets tired of working at your place and wants to change her environment, I'll welcome her at any time."
Whitman originally thought that Feng Yu was joking with Kirilenko and her, but seeing Feng Yu's extremely serious expression, she was sure that Feng Yu really appreciated her.
She was actually a little proud to be admired by the world's richest man.
Of course, everyone wouldn't stand here chatting. Feng Yu invited them to get in the car. Kirilenko and Whitman got into the Songjiang extended custom car owned by Taihua Holdings. It was a simplified version of Kirilenko's wedding car. They are two Songjiang S-class sedans. They are also the most high-end Songjiang cars at present. Before, they only accepted customization, but now the production volume has increased.
"Is this building Mr. Feng's property?" Whitman looked at the Fengyu Building in Shanghai.
It is said that Chinese people like to buy properties. Unexpectedly, Feng Yu, as the world's richest man, is also not exempt from this habit. He buys buildings one by one.
"It's an industry owned by Taihua Holdings. Most of them are offices of subsidiaries of Taihua Holdings, and there are also some offices rented by other multinational companies. For example, your eBay company's office is in this building. You should Do you know?"
Of course Whitman knew that she was here when eBay invested in eBay and acquired most of eBay's shares. The funds involved twice exceeded 160 million US dollars, so of course she had to personally check it.
When he arrived at Feng Yu's office, Kirilenko casually walked to the bar and opened a bottle of wine.
Whitman looked curiously, why didn't Feng Yu's office even have a secretary? She didn't know that Feng Yu didn't like being disturbed in the office. Usually, no one would enter his office when he didn't call. If his secretary saw him sitting in the office playing online games, wouldn't his image be ruined
How can the world's richest man secretly play games at work like ordinary office workers! Kirilenko also knew about Feng Yu's habit, so he did it himself.
"Ms. Whitman, what do you want to drink? I'll ask someone to prepare it for you."
Kirilenko put a glass of wine in front of Whitman: "No, I believe she will like this bottle of wine."
Another thing Kirilenko liked about Whitman was that Whitman also liked to drink a little wine. It wasn't much, but it was enough for Kirilenko to appreciate her.
If you like drinking, you must be a nice person!
This is a very important sentence in Kirilenko's dictionary.
Feng Yu shrugged and simply made a pot of tea by himself. Birds of a feather flock together, and I didn’t expect Whitman to like a drink too.
"Mr. Feng, your office doesn't seem very big, right?" Whitman looked around the office and said.
"I don't often work here, so the office is a little smaller. It's such a waste of such a big place."
Feng Yu's office is really smaller than Zong Qingxian's. Zong Qingxian was a little embarrassed at first, but Feng Yu said it didn't matter. He didn't come here often anyway, but Zong Qingxian needed to work here all year round.
Moreover, Zong Qingxian's work is much busier than that of Feng Yu, and the place is larger, so this is the treatment he should be given, although Zong Qingxian doesn't care much about this kind of treatment.
"As the world's richest man, Mr. Feng can be so frugal, which is really unexpected."
"The richest man in the world is just a false title. The scale of my company is not comparable to Bill's Microsoft, nor to those top large companies. When one day my company's scale can surpass theirs, I think I will be very I am happy to accept the title of the world's richest man. At that time, I think my company's shareholders and executives will also leave their names on the world's richest list!"
