Chapter 570
Feng Yiping is a man who spit and nails, and he is very good at what he says, so he said to go to Fifth Avenue to have a look, it was really just a look - plus a photo.
When he arrived at Fifth Avenue, Feng Yiping finally realized the luxury of New York City. On both sides of this road, skyscrapers were built one after another, all trying to compete with the sky, and the shops downstairs gathered Brand-name stores across the U.S. and around the world.
In Jacob’s words, “You can almost find famous brands all over the world on this street.”
"There are many museums on the street, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, do you want me to take you to see them?" Seeing that Feng Yiping didn't intend to go shopping, Jacob suggested.
Feng Yiping looked at his watch pretendingly, "I want to go, but it will take at least half a day to visit the Metropolitan Museum. I will talk about it later when I have time. Let's just sit here," he pointed to a roadside in front of him. The open-air cafe is perfunctory.
Visiting museums, he is not that interested yet.
What he hated the most before was that when those people mentioned going abroad, they advertised which museums they went to. For example, when many people arrived in Paris, the first time they went to Paris, they would definitely go to either the Moulin Rouge or the Avenue Montaigne, but the photos they posted to the public , must be the Louvre.
That's really boring, and Feng Yiping doesn't want to label himself as that kind of person, since he's out to play, of course he can come here as he feels comfortable and happy, there's no need to pretend that he's going to a foreign country, the main thing is to accept the influence of art and culture.
... ... ...
As for the New York Economic Club, the former Feng Yiping had never heard of it at all. This time, after receiving the invitation, he read some information and found out that it is really a very awesome club.
It was founded in 1907 by the Wall Street Modern Boss Club, a non-governmental organization that unites the global business and financial circles to discuss global economic development.
Therefore, its members overlap with those of Wall Street's modern boss clubs.
What kind of existence is the Wall Street Modern Owners Club, a club with a rich and vulgar name? Its founders are the 24 stock brokers who signed the "Sycamore Agreement", which is the earliest broker-owners club.
The league committee of this club is familiar to everyone. It was first renamed the New York Stock Exchange Members Club, and in 1863, it was changed again to its current name, the New York Stock Exchange.
So, cow!
Therefore, the New York Economic Club, from the origin, is a true second generation.
It's not just the rich second generation, because of the political and business mobility system with American characteristics, this so-called largest folk club in the United States has a very close relationship with the government. It is said that throughout the 1960s and 1970s, it not only provided a lot of resources, but also made Kennedy He was sent to the presidency, and he still had a great say in public policy at the time.
In addition, in many cases, it exists as the "third track" foreign service of the United States.
Before the 1990s, it mainly held speeches by leaders of various countries, not to mention the presidents of the United States, Churchill, Thatcher, Gorbachev, Indira Gandhi..., including Feng Yiping and their dean, last April Also gave a speech here.
It is also in recent years that some lectures by academics and business people have been held.
"As far as I know, you will be the first Chinese invited by our club who is not a leader, and you will also be one of the youngest speakers ever to give a speech at the club,"
Julie has always regarded Feng Yiping as an ordinary young man. On the way to the club, she said to Feng Yiping, who looked a little dignified, that she wanted him to be happy and relaxed. Young people, don’t they all like these things? Honor?
But her words were useless, Feng Yiping nodded flatly, as if he didn't care about such an honor.
In fact, he has known about these things for a long time, and he is also concerned about them, and he is also excited, but now, he has no time to think about them.
With the speech in his hand, he quietly looked out of the car window. In fact, his mind was not outside at all.
He has been taking deep breaths secretly, and reliving in his mind once again, when he speaks, what kind of demeanor, what kind of speech speed and tone should be at the beginning, what actions should be done in the middle, and the audience in the audience , and those people on the stage, how often he should look at the left and right sides, in case he gets stuck, or says the wrong word, how to remedy it...
Whether it is for him personally or for Jiaqiang Group, this is a very critical opportunity. With his pride, there is no room for any mistakes.
The speech was held in the theater-like hall of the club. Feng Yiping liked the simplicity and brightness, but he didn't like the place where the main body was deep maroon, the decoration was old-fashioned luxury, and the lighting was dim.
But those rich people in the club obviously like such a place with a bit of history, and they are quite proud of it. Feng Yiping can only do as he pleases.
Like the ones in China, on the rostrum similar to the theater stage, there is a podium in the middle, with two rows of seats on each side. Naturally, the big cows in the club and some former government officials are seated.
After the chairman of the club briefly introduced Feng Yiping's identity and spoke highly of his book, the other lights in the entire hall were dimmed, and only the stage was brightly illuminated.
Feng Yiping, dressed in formal attire, stood behind the podium with a smile amidst everyone's applause, staring at the crowd of audience, "Mr. Chairman, gentlemen, ladies, seniors, good afternoon! Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for your evaluation of my work, and thank you all for your support.”
When he said these words, his throat was a little dry and his voice was a little fluttering, so he picked up the mineral water and took a big sip. He was no longer like before, with both hands clenched in front of him, but relaxed and supported the podium. On both sides, even the whole person is leaning on the podium, with the right foot extended to the left side of the left foot, and only the toes touch the ground.
"Speaking of which, my original intention of writing this book is to think about what to do in order to gain a certain advantage in the competition with your companies, so that my company can survive and develop to a certain extent.
That is to say, the purpose of my initial writing of this book was to target the enterprises of all of you here, and all of you here are my imaginary enemies. "
He said this opening with a smile, and the audience on and off the stage also listened to it with a smile. Among the twenty or so people on the stage, quite a few laughed out loud.
"I know this sounds a little arrogant, but I was so poor at the time, I really thought about it this way. I was young and lacked everything, except dreams and courage.
At that time, I thought, if I do fast food, how can I compete with my peers, how can I compete with Yum! If I make software, will Microsoft just drop a hair and crush me to death?
If these issues were not well thought out, I would not be at ease when I started my business, because I know that if the strategy is not clear, even if some achievements are made temporarily, it is also temporary.
At that time, the more I thought about it, the more helpless I became, the more I thought about it, the more disappointed I became, and the more I thought about it, the more I lost confidence.
Because I have analyzed countless possibilities, but when I have achieved certain achievements and am qualified to face your company, there is still no chance of winning at all.
Because capital, whether tangible or intangible, cannot be compared with everyone else.
But, did you just give up? It was certainly an easy choice, but clearly not the right one.
So, I thought and thought, and then I happened to see some examples of people using them. Inspired by them, I finally had a general direction, that is, in the existing fiercely competitive market, that is, in the book. Haili, I can't compete with everyone, so I have to find another way and find a new market.
Finally, I had a feasible idea, and I finally had some confidence to start a business. In the process of starting a business, I not only explored and studied other examples, but finally, I finally summed up the principles of blue ocean strategy, and how to create, formulate, and implement a business that suits me. The company's blue ocean strategy. "
Those who bought tickets to listen to Feng Yiping's speech today all have people with similar problems to him. Although they are much stronger than Feng Yiping when they first started their business, there is still a company with more advantages in all aspects ahead of them. A high mountain, Feng Yiping's words can be said to have reached their hearts, and each of them feels sympathy.
People without long-term considerations must have near-term worries, and companies are the same. Therefore, many audience members who are also worried about the future of the company gave applause to Feng Yiping, a fellow sufferer, without hesitation.
