Chapter 379: True Vision

"It's true that I've been overwhelmed by the Dafeng Group recently." Shao Yibo didn't realize the meaning of Meng Qian's words, so he responded with a smile.

Meng Qian deliberately asked, "Is it really because of Dafeng Group?"

Shao Yibo's hand holding vegetables paused for a second.

"Actually, I've heard many people mention you, Zhang Shuxin, Zhang Chaoyang, including Ma Yun. Everyone thinks it's a pity. If eBay hadn't been sold to eBay, it should be an online trading platform with annual sales of at least 5 billion. , At that time, eBay really had no decent opponents in China. I think if this is the case, Gale Group is very likely to cooperate with eBay.

But I think it's a pity that you can actually be more decisive. "

Shao Yibo expressed doubts, "I don't quite understand what Boss Meng means."

"Whitman is spreading your rights on the Internet, but to be honest, although I personally don't like Ms. Whitman, I understand her in this matter, because if it were me, I wouldn't dare to give it away. A person who travels between two places all the year round and can't settle down manages the company.

At the same time, I also understand you. As the founder of a company, the feeling for the company is not something others can understand. We are all people who want to do something, so we have poured our hearts into the company. Take Dafeng Group from me, I will definitely fight him desperately. "

After a few seconds of silence, Shao Yibo showed a complicated smile, "Every choice in life is difficult."

"It's difficult because most of the choices are always difficult to have both. I heard that your lover is in a much better condition now and has plans to return to China?"

Shao Yibo was a little surprised, "How did Boss Meng know about this?"

"I asked about it, and I hope you don't mind." Meng Qian showed a sincere attitude, "If, I mean, if, eBay really can't do it in China, do you have any plans?"

"I've never thought about this issue." Shao Yibo started to hide it now, "Although Taobao is developing well now, I always firmly believe that Taobao will be backlashed by the free policy. There is almost no bottom line for merchants on Taobao. Obviously, It was a wrong decision, in my opinion, the advantage of Taobao is not free but Alipay, Mr. Meng should also be able to understand this matter."

"Does Mr. Shao really think so?" Meng Qian smiled meaningfully, and began to put pressure on Shao Yibo, "Whether things are right or wrong depends on the overall environment. In Anbang, Confucian temples were to be built, so is Confucianism right or wrong?

The current China is different from the United States, and even different from all countries in the world. Mr. Shao has traveled between China and the United States all year round, so he should be able to see it more clearly than anyone else, right? "

"But Huaxia will eventually develop."

"No matter how China develops, it is absolutely impossible to become the second country of the United States, and it is absolutely impossible to repeat the path of the country of the United States. The most basic thing is that it is impossible for China to make money by launching wars. Judging China by the way of the country of the United States, never It was wrong to begin with, so from the moment eBay sold to eBay, something was doomed."

Shao Yibo's expression changed, and Meng Qian continued to poke his heart, "In the past few years, from the server relocation to the United States to eBay's global unification to de-Ebay, which one of the things that eBay has done, which one do you agree with? ?”

Shao Yibo remained silent, and Meng Qian continued to poke, "Looking at the previous news reports, it has been rumored that you may step down as CEO this year. Can I make a bold guess that this is not what Whitman meant, but what you meant?"

Although he tried his best to control it, Shao Yibo still nodded slightly subconsciously, but the magnitude of this nod was undetectable, Meng Qian really wouldn't have noticed it if he hadn't paid special attention.

"I've been checking some official accounts before going to bed recently. I saw a sentence yesterday, called the road I chose, and I have to walk it on my knees." Meng Qian started to push forward, "At first glance, I think it's quite inspirational, but looking back I thought about it again, since this road is so difficult, why not take a taxi.

A person's life is so short, saving the time spent kneeling and walking over, is it enough to earn a taxi fare? "

"Choice is greater than hard work." Shao Yibo summed up Meng Qian's meaning.

"The choice of direction is always the premise of hard work, and I always feel that the greatest joy in life is to meet a group of people who can support each other and share the same direction. Compared with taxis, if you can get a ride , the effect will be better.”

“But these things are unavoidable.”

"That's not necessarily true." Meng Qian teased with a smile, "Boss Shao was able to embrace a beautiful woman back then, so he asked for it."

When mentioning his wife, Shao Yibo seemed to let his guard down a little and smiled knowingly.

Meng Qian took advantage of the situation and continued, "Mr. Shao, I watched your interview video in the United States last year. You mentioned that in terms of career alone, the two years in Boston may have been the happiest two years of your life. Let me ask you a question. , do you like the content of the job, or the working environment, or something else?"

"All of them." Shao Yibo followed Meng Qian to answer, "When I was in Boston, I would communicate more with some entrepreneurs. It was a very interesting feeling. You would meet all kinds of people. , and even seem to be experiencing all kinds of life.”

"Has Mr. Shao ever thought about returning to that feeling?"

Shao Yibo hesitated and didn't know how to answer, Meng Qian simply pointed out, "There is an investment company under Dafeng Group, Mr. Shao should know about it."

Shao Yibo nodded.

"But many people don't actually know what my vision for starting this investment company is."

"I would like to hear the details." Shao Yibo was unconsciously interested.

"Actually, for most entrepreneurs in China and even the world, what they lack most is not money, because if you really have a good idea, someone will definitely favor it, but the problem that more people encounter is, They do have a great idea, but they don't know how to make it work.

What they lack is experience and all-round support, not just money. "

Shao Yibo realized instantly, "What Mr. Meng wants to do is actually a consulting company!"

"That's right, what Dafeng Group wants to bring to entrepreneurs is capital plus consulting, and to make a comprehensive support plan. Mr. Shao should be very clear that our Huaxia enterprises are very backward in terms of management and operation. We have too many Enterprises need consultants, but this experience is like what I just said, and it cannot be completely copied from foreign countries, because it is not suitable for foreign companies to directly transfer it to Chinese enterprises.

When we learned management experience from IBM, we were deeply aware of this problem. After taking foreign experience, we must localize it and have Chinese characteristics, otherwise it may be a disservice.

We need to slowly polish the management model and business model suitable for Huaxia enterprises. At the same time, I want to create a set of reasonable enterprise rating standards. "

Shao Yibo looked at Meng Qian in surprise, "So Mr. Meng set his sights so far! I'm beginning to understand the success of Dafeng Group."

"But no matter how good the vision is, someone needs to implement it." Meng Qian just looked at Shao Yibo directly, "Mr. Shao, eBay is no longer eBay, but you are still you. Since you have already started to retire, Then why not be clean and tidy, the car of Dafeng Group is now parked beside you."

"Boss Meng."

"Besides, if Madam Zun doesn't really want to go back to Shanghai, Hangcheng is actually a good choice. Although it is not as prosperous as Shanghai, it still looks like a small family. I heard that you and your lover like big Naturally, the environment in Hangcheng is still acceptable.

In addition, with the current strength of Dafeng Group, it should be qualified to provide Mrs. Zun with a suitable job. "

Shao Yibo's wife Bao Jiaxin is also a god of learning. She got 660 points in the TOEFL test with a perfect score of 677 and went to Harvard.

Faced with Meng Qian's invitation, Shao Yibo's mind suddenly became confused, and he completely forgot what he was here for today.

Meng Qian touched Shao Yibo's wine glass and continued to move, "I will make another condition for you, which can be regarded as my personal promise. No matter what the final result of eBay is, I will protect your employees."

Meng Qian’s words really mean that entrepreneurs understand the heart of entrepreneurs. Of course, the premise is that entrepreneurs are responsible. Many responsible entrepreneurs will continue to operate the company. One of the important reasons is to Those employees who fight against themselves.

From Shao Yibo's own heart, to his family, to eBay's home, Meng Qian gradually broke down his psychological defense.

Although there was no result this night, after all, Shao Yibo had too many things to consider, and it would be inappropriate for him to leave before eBay was defeated by Taobao, but at least Shao Yibo's wavering was clearly on the surface something happened.

Meng Qian is not in a hurry. Taobao defeats eBay. In Meng Qian's opinion, it is a matter of time, and it will be within a year or two. For ebay, it is the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
