Rebirth of the 92 Business Tycoon

When Cadillac left Seattle and was about to cross the floating bridge on the hsd state along Highway 520, Feng Yiping probably wanted to understand the meaning of Bezos’s words yesterday. Is it possible that he heard the wind and Microsoft wants to buy something of his own project?

If this is the case, you guessed it right, it should be the Facebook or YouTube that was launched later.

Bezos's words with a little bit of scorn were superfluous.

Feng Yiping would never sell these two things.

However, Bezos, a guy born in the 1960s, is still so reluctant to admit defeat and love face so much. Thinking about it, he is really cute.

Like many times, Feng Yiping is inevitably a little complacent. There is no way. Who calls himself too good? Haha, this is also a natural beauty in another sense!

Just like the developed areas in China, there must be more than one bridge across the river. There are two floating bridges on the hsd lake, which are the traffic hubs connecting downtown Seattle and the eastern part of the hsd lake.

It can be inferred from this that Bill Gates and his employees must pass by here often.

"Vincent, did you know that the scenery here looks a bit like a scenic spot in my father's homeland. Mom and I have both been there."

"Where is that?" Vincent asked curiously.

"Are you talking about West Lake?" Ma Ling said.

"Yes, don't you look like it?"

From the pontoon bridge, the lake is not vast. The water is clear and the water is green. There are also many corners of the houses that emerge from the surrounding lush green trees.

The difference is also there. The yachts on the West Lake are mostly painted boats. The lake here is full of white modern yachts.

"It feels a bit like,"

Vincent, who was not too interested in the first place, listened and quickly said, "I want to go to West Lake too."

In the car behind, the focus of John and Heidi's attention was on the mansions by the lake. "Gates's is here, why didn't you see it?" John looked over there specifically.

He is still a little curious about characters like Gates.

Feng Yiping was naturally envious of being invited to Gates’ lakeside mansion.

…………

After arriving at the east bank of Hsd Lake, head north along Interstate 405, and soon arrived at Kirkland. After walking east along 85 Avenue for a while, Ma Ling smiled and stabbed Feng Yiping. Feng Yiping took a look. His face was a little red.

There is Google's large job advertisement, no way, this is what the two guys insisted.

In other words, after the ipo, the company’s account was very rich, and the two of them couldn’t wait to implement the plan they wanted to implement a long time ago. Not to mention the establishment of an office in Seattle, but also less than Microsoft’s Redmond headquarters. An office was established in Kirkland, five miles away.

It doesn't count to set up an office, but it must be such a large-scale advertisement on the way that many Microsoft employees must go to and from get off work.

The key is that those two are just as they are supposed to, and it seems that they shouldn't take advantage of Microsoft.

It seems that no matter at home or abroad, this big brother is inevitably a talent training center for young brothers.

Feng Yiping couldn’t help thinking, after leaving Albuquerque, New Mexico, the founding place, why Gates gave up Boston, which owns Harvard and MIT, and Silicon Valley, the well-known high-tech capital of the world, and finally moved the company back Place of birth in Seattle, hsd?

In addition to being familiar with this place and the environment here, the most important thing is to worry about competitors digging people.

It is estimated that he never imagined that there would be a younger generation like Google who does not talk about etiquette and does not follow the routine.

Of course, after the development and growth of Google, it also declined to be good. For example, Facebook was in a period of rapid development. From vice presidents like Shelley Sandberg to core technical talents and ordinary employees, it started from Google. Digging past many old people.

Although Facebook is its own now, this will not happen, but Feng Yiping believes that there will still be many other start-ups, which will have set their sights on those talents at Google.

In a word, the boss is really not that good.

"It seems that Peppa specially emphasized not to do evil?" Ma Ling asked with a smile, "It doesn't seem to be good intentions, right?"

"Strictly speaking, this is to use market means to achieve the optimal allocation of human resources, there is no such thing as good or evil," Feng Yiping said.

It's okay to complain about yourself, but if others complain about it, even if it is Ma Ling, you still have to resolutely maintain it.

"Furthermore, do you think Microsoft's company in Silicon Valley didn't do the same thing?"

This is natural, and it is not to be indecent. Microsoft's institutions in Silicon Valley are also unscrupulously digging for talents they value from major companies in Silicon Valley.

"Vincent, remember not to imitate your dad in the future. Everything is unreasonable." When Ma Ling taught Vincent, there were a large group of buildings scattered on the roadside, among the woods, lawns and flowers. It was very quiet. At first glance, it looks a bit like a university campus.

The current leader of the US high-tech industry, the Microsoft headquarters park, is here.

…………

In front of the headquarters building, well, it can't be said to be big. The entire Microsoft headquarters campus has low buildings, usually three or four floors, and the tallest building is only 6 floors.

It's not like Silicon Valley, where there will be so many earthquakes. So, it's not that Microsoft doesn't want to build high-rise buildings, but Redmond is not letting Microsoft build high-rise buildings-I wonder if it is to sell more land?

In front of the headquarters building, Feng Yiping and Ma Ling are temporarily separated. Ma Ling will take his son and visit the Microsoft Park with his parents.

Although John in particular wanted to participate in this meeting, he was also very clear that such a level of meeting is not just a temporary addition of people.

Feng Yiping hasn’t even entered the door yet. He had a acquaintance. Brian, Microsoft’s vice president of corporate development strategy, brought Frank, the top head of the public relations department, and a blond female assistant to greet him, “Hello Feng,”

"Hello Brian," Feng Yiping smiled and shook hands with him.

The Goldilocks next to me looked curiously at this young man wearing khaki pants and a white shirt, carrying a shoulder bag, and smiling brightly. It was really younger than what I saw in the report. It was gentler, even more so. Attractive.

"Hello Mr. Feng, this is Sophia,"

"Hello," Feng Yiping smiled and shook her hand briefly.

"Bill is attending an impromptu meeting, Ballmer was just called away by a colleague, so I am sorry Feng, I can only meet you," Brian said with a smile.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, for example, Ballmer was here just now. In fact, Microsoft sent Brian and waited here, and already attached great importance to Feng Yiping.

This is not the two presidents and presidents of Microsoft in China. This is the senior vice president of Microsoft headquarters, who is directly responsible to Gates and will be reported to the company's annual report every year.

"Hehe, it's an honor for you to come," Feng Yiping said with a smile.

"This is the first time you have come to our headquarters. Why don't you show me around first?" Brian suggested.

"That's what I think,"

I originally came to visit Microsoft’s campus, and it felt like a university campus with a good environment. After I walked in, I looked at the thick trees, the very neatly manicured lawns, the blooming flowers, the chirping birds above my head, you I feel more like a park here.

Because of the early construction period, the buildings of Microsoft headquarters are not as trendy as those of emerging companies in Silicon Valley. They are generally white walls with large dark green glass windows. Although low-key and simple, they are in harmony with the surrounding green environment.

The most eye-catching buildings in the park are those X-shaped buildings. Feng Yiping has seen it in reports before, and this is the first time he has seen it with his own eyes.

Why is it such a shape? This is what Gates meant.

He hopes that every programmer can have an independent, well-lit office with a good view.

In order to satisfy his wish, the designer finally gave such a plan.

So this is also the difference between Microsoft and many companies in Silicon Valley. Google and Feng Yiping's companies are all open office spaces, while Microsoft is separate from each other.

Sitting on the commuter car with wide open windows, Brian introduced some anecdotes in the park to Feng Yiping in detail, "That building, Building 5, is the development base of win95, and over there is the development base of office2000... …,"

While talking, the 8th building where Gates' office is located arrived.

This is actually said.

In addition to the boss Gates, all other Microsoft employees working in the Microsoft Redmond headquarters campus, their offices are always changing, including President Ballmer is no exception.

He was still working in Building 18 a few years ago, and now he has moved to Building 25.

Naturally, this is not to have nothing to do with fun. In addition to the need to reorganize departments and personnel, the more important reason is to change the office space to keep employees fresh at work.

…………

"Ding," the elevator stopped, and Feng Yiping saw the guy outside wearing a horizontal striped T-shirt and white slacks, who was dangling there, who was not Gates?

Hearing the sound of the elevator, he turned his head and looked, "Hi Feng,"

The Gates of this meeting is different from the Gates of full-time charity later.

When Gates appeared in public, he always seemed lazy and arrogant, and he was not very enthusiastic about anything. Even if he was shaking hands with leaders of various countries, he was very perfunctory. The expression of no interest.

The current Gates is still the highest helm of Microsoft. He has the same enthusiasm as all entrepreneurs in his eyes. He firmly holds Feng Yiping's hand, and the other hand supports Feng Yiping's shoulder, "Welcome your visit!"

"I'm honored, Mr. Gates,"

"Hehe, call me Bill," Gates took Feng Yiping to his office.

This is not the first time they have seen each other.

After Feng Yiping wrote "Blue Ocean Strategy", he joined Bill Gates and Ballmer, and they also helped recommend Feng Yiping's book to many people.

Feng Yiping took a look. Compared with Jobs's, Gates' office is much richer. At least, the level of his office layout is higher than that of Microsoft's logo.

"Congratulations, in just a few years, you have achieved such a great achievement in Silicon Valley," Gates said with a smile, "Your achievements surprised me and Steve."

He said that this Steve ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is not the Steve Jobs, but his partner, Ballmer.

"Thank you," Feng Yiping said in accordance with American rules.

To be honest, he really didn't understand why Microsoft came to him this time.

Of course, he can be sure that most of them are inseparable from the sharp rise in his net worth and the two projects launched this year.

Without a few chattering words, Gates actually talked about the weather, "This time France is a hurricane, and the harm caused..."

Feng Yiping has a bad idea, uncle, you won't let me donate it!

But his words were interrupted, "Feng," the tall and strong Ballmer strode in, and his voice was still a little hoarse.

"Haha," he was more enthusiastic than Gates, and hugged Feng Yiping firmly, "I haven't seen you in a few years. The talented young scholar at the beginning has now become a world-renowned young entrepreneur."

He laughed and leaned on Feng Yiping's shoulder and said, "Congratulations,"

"Thank you,"

Feng Yiping thanked Ballmer who came in suddenly. He had already donated once in Silicon Valley for the hurricane. However, if Gates spoke up, it would be really difficult to refuse.

And combined with the recent situation, such as his soaring net worth, this meaning is really not too trivial.

No way, successful people in the United States are not discussing business affairs together, that is charity.

As soon as Ballmer came over, he basically dominated the conversation. After a few words of greeting, he directly stated the subject, "Feng, the new social project you launched this year, Facebook, is really a good idea. Bill and I are both Very interested, do you think we can cooperate on this project?"

Heh, Bezos was right, they really mean it.
