Chapter 1451 The World Is Getting Smaller and Times Are Accelerating

During the private communication with Craig Barrett on the phone, Wu Tao felt no pressure at all.

In the market, it is not a situation of constant intrigues and life-and-death situations.

On the contrary, compared to the deliberate battle with his partner Lu Yi-chi, there is more sympathy between Wu Tao and his competitor Barrett.

As for where this mutual sympathy comes from, Wu Tao sometimes feels baffled.

So at this time, Wu Tao did not directly answer Barrett's question for advice, but instead asked: "Why are you asking me, Mr. Barrett?"

"If you don't mind, you can call me Craig." Barrett corrected him on the phone and then explained; "I think there are many reasons why I made this call to you, but the most important one is, In fact, I thought there was some personal friendship between us."

"Of course, I have to admit that your strategic vision in the development of semiconductors and related industries is also amazing."

"OK!" Wu Tao interrupted the other party's flattery and began to express his own opinion, "There is no doubt that mobile PDAs, including the advent of the smartphone era, will even make the production volume of mobile CPUs far exceed that of desktop CPUs. quantity."

"The market potential in this area is unquestionable."

"What is also unquestionable is Intel's R&D strength and foundation. If your company wants to make CPUs in the mobile field, there is actually no problem at all."

"But the business success or failure of CPUs in the mobile field may be completely different from that of traditional desktop CPUs. On this point, perhaps your company will be more enlightened than my few words when looking back at how it abandoned this field of business in the past. The words cover more content and are more profound.”

"Thank you, thank you very much." Barrett thanked her hurriedly, and then quickly ended the call.

But after hanging up the phone, and thinking about it again, Craig Barrett immediately put his hands on his knees and sighed. Chinese culture is indeed profound and profound. It seems that he said a lot, but in fact he didn't say anything useful.

In this regard, Wu Tao did not mean to apologize at all.

Both right and wrong have been said, this is the real responsibility for the personal friendship between the two parties.

But in any case, it is absolutely impossible to give a tendentious opinion.

It's impossible in this life.

In summer in Zhonghai, the days are long and the nights are short.

While taking some time off from his busy schedule, Wu Tao also had the idea of ​​going out for a walk.

But when I got out of the car and faced the harsh sunlight and the clear blue sky, I couldn't help but feel intimidated.

Sitting in the Bentley business car, Wu Tao felt regretful.

This city is undergoing drastic changes every minute. Construction sites are popping up all over the old city, and excavations are happening everywhere in the new city.

At night, the tremors caused by the rushing garbage trucks seemed to spread far away.

Thanks to the monsoon near the sea, it can often bring some blue skies.

Even so, as an international metropolis, Zhonghai is still crowded with people all the time.

Even in the afternoon when the sun is the hottest, the streets and alleys are full of takeaway guys, sweating like rain, delivering all kinds of coolness and delicious food to the white-collar workers in the office building.

After returning from Huayao Group, when I passed by the secretarial office next to it, it was bustling inside.

Wu Tao couldn't help but take another look.

After all, they are all cool and beautiful ladies. Even if they are just for eye candy, they are worth looking at more.

As a result, he discovered something special at this glance.

"Boss..." The secretaries and ladies all stopped making noises and said hello honestly, so much so that they didn't even have time to put away the ice cream milkshakes they were sharing.

The small cup size doesn't look like a large amount, but the shape is so cute that you can't put it down.

Plus, it’s filled with sweet and delightful ice cream, so it’s even more popular.

Fragrance lingers on lips and teeth.

Wu Tao searched his memory for this brand but had no impression of it.

However, it took the lead in opening up the terminal sales link and became the first snack takeout chain after signature fast food takeout such as McDonald's and KFC.

Of course, the price is certainly high.

Sun Yanyan came up to her, holding another full cup of untouched wine in her hand, "Boss, this is specially reserved for you."

Wu Tao asked with great interest, "Are these delivered directly from takeaways? Where are the advertisements placed and how do you pay for them?"

Sun Yanyan boldly pushed the cup of ice cream into the hands of her boss, and then replied: "It was delivered by the same takeaway boy as KFC. I saw the advertisement on the school website and APP. Of course, the cost was directly I paid it to my brother.”

I see.

For the most developed metropolises in the country, it is not surprising that China Shipping has made advanced attempts in the field of food delivery.

However, this express delivery model, which can afford to support its own couriers, has limited impact after all.

But the thought of advertising through an Internet platform or even a mobile APP platform is already quite an innovation.

"By the way, besides this one advertising on the APP, are there any other merchant advertisements on our school APP platform?"

"There should be quite a few." Sun Yanyan pondered: "In the documents sent from Tianjing Company before, I noticed that in the capital and other major cities, KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonald's have local advertisements. cooperate."

Wu Tao nodded and asked, "Now that 3G has been popularized for almost a year, do you think this has brought any changes to our lives?"

Before Sun Yanyan could answer, a cute baby-faced girl in the office, Wen Yan, rushed to answer: "When you are squeezing the subway or bus on your way to and from get off work, you will never be bored again."

This answer immediately aroused the approval of many secretaries.

Wu Tao smiled and joked: "I thought all the gold-collar women in our secretary's office drove to work."

It immediately aroused a lot of discussion among a group of Yingying Yanyan.

Why are the housing prices in Zhonghai too expensive, the roads in Zhonghai too crowded, the license plates in Zhonghai difficult to shake, the parking in Zhonghai too difficult...

Fortunately, there was no blame from the company, and Wu Tao was happy to listen to their discussion.

Until a secretary mentioned it: "It would be great if the traffic fee could be cheaper."

"I can help you fight for this." Wu Tao's serious look caused all the beautiful secretaries to cover their mouths and exclaim.

Until Wu Tao walked away, he couldn't help but talk around: "Is it true? Is what the boss said true?"

Sun Yanyan said lightly: "The boss has a good relationship with China Mobile Corporation."

In fact, not only the beautiful secretaries noticed these changes, but also Wu Tao, who returned to the CEO's office and sat down, the first thing he did was pick up his Lotus phone and look up the latest news.

This is completely different from the previous habit of turning on the computer and surfing the Internet.

It is obvious that the world is getting smaller and has become a world in the palm of your hand; but the times are accelerating. Unknowingly, various new consumption forms and consumption concepts of later generations have begun to show their signs.

This is probably one of his most beneficial gains after moving to China Shipping.
