Chapter 878 This Chinese Boss Is Not Simple
This Facebook meeting is clearly a Hongmen banquet.
These elites who received American education obviously lacked a deep understanding of Facebook's website selling points and product features, so much so that they doubted the strategic vision of investors.
If Wu Tao hadn't had two brushes, he might have been questioned today.
And among everyone here, except for Zhou Li, the CFO of Tianqi Investment, everyone else is probably waiting to see his jokes.
So as soon as Wu Tao finished speaking, Zhou Li was the first to take the lead in applauding.
Immediately, as the CEO, Rick couldn't help but clapped his hands.
Because Wu Tao's words really gave him new inspiration: Yes, cultural differences exist, but many things cannot be changed without changing the medicine.
If Facebook's focus in the European and American markets changes from text sharing to photo sharing, it may be able to find a new way to sweep the market with a brand new selling point, instead of being an instant messaging tool and products such as icq and Windows messenger.
After a burst of applause, Rick immediately changed his attitude and said: "I'm sorry, my boss, I haven't thought enough about Facebook's strategic positioning and product selling points during this time. It was only after your inspiration that I realized this. This is what I Dereliction of duty!"
When Rick made this statement, the others' attitudes immediately became respectful.
Wu Tao looked around at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Rick's face. He spread his hands and said, "It doesn't matter, Rick. It's normal that your new team has flaws and needs to be adjusted. Besides, what he said just now is exactly what he said. My thoughts as Facebook’s CTO.”
All the executives present at the meeting couldn't help but awed. Yes, the Chinese man in front of them is not only the largest shareholder of the company's board of directors, but also the company's chief technology officer!
But looking back, people like Courteney couldn't help but feel guilty.
Could it be that the current management team’s lack of understanding of Facebook is really due to the absence of the boss, the CTO?
I'm afraid no one dares to really think so.
After the meeting, Wu Tao left decisively.
The back of leaving has invisibly put a lot of pressure on Facebook executives.
Rick glanced at everyone and said: "Convene a joint meeting of the product and technology groups immediately to re-formulate Facebook's development strategy and future positioning."
After getting into the car and leaving 101 Avenue, Wu Tao couldn't help but feel tired.
Those in the upper position work hard on their minds, while those in the lower position work on their bodies.
He now truly understands this sentence. Leaning on the back of the Mercedes-Benz, he closed his eyes and said, "Uncle Zhuang, go back to the villa."
The last planned visit to Tianxing Game Company was temporarily canceled.
After all, there was a big boss's dinner party in the evening, and he had to save some energy to deal with it.
Song Zhuang has followed Wu Tao for so many years and has always been the person most familiar with his habits. The car drove so smoothly along the way that Wu Tao fell asleep right in front of his house.
After getting out of the car, the energy that had been overdrawn for a long time was restored.
Wu Tao looked at the Porsche parked at the door and wondered which friend drove this $80,000 car to visit.
Could it be the extremely arrogant Qiu Xiaotian?
Thinking about it, with Sister Xiaoman here, my beloved Teacher Qiu should not have the opportunity to be so arrogant.
All the way into the villa building, the breath of constant temperature and humidity hit my face, which immediately offset the heat brought by outside.
After loosening the tie at the collar, Wu Tao was surprised that his cousin Fang Yuan, who was always out of touch, didn't suddenly pounce on her from any corner. This really didn't fit her style.
Looking up to the backyard, at a glance, there was not even a single figure.
It can’t be that the jet lag hasn’t reversed yet, right? Wu Tao thought of this and immediately shook his head, young people do not exist.
"Cousin? My dear, favorite cousin?"
While changing his shoes, Wu Tao called out, and the sound came from the east side of the first floor.
Over there is the gym.
What the hell is Fang Yuan doing again? Out of curiosity, Wu Tao walked over quickly. After turning a corner, through the glass wall of the gym, he saw Fang Yuan wearing hot pants and a vest sweating profusely on the elliptical machine.
And next to her, there was actually another person, a pony girl with a devilish figure.
Fang Yuan pedaled the elliptical machine hard while listening to the other party's guidance.
Could it be a fitness instructor?
But Fang Yuan was new here and she was unfamiliar with the place. How did she find a fitness instructor?
With doubts, Wu Tao walked over. I saw this Yang Yang horse girl stop her movements and call out respectfully: "Mr. Wu, forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting your place."
This person looked familiar, but Wu Tao couldn't remember his name for a while.
However, Fang Yuan came to the rescue and said, "I asked Miss Reese to come in. She taught me a lot of fitness techniques. Cousin, if you are free, let her interview you."
It turned out to be the Reese reporter I met at Michelin.
However, Wu Tao didn't want to be so high-profile, so he still declined: "I'm sorry, Miss Reese, I can welcome you to be a guest. But I'd better skip the interview."
"Mr. Wu, this is a great opportunity for the American people to learn about Chinese entrepreneurs. I believe that your interview is of great significance not only to the American people, but also to China's international image."
I have to admit that this Reese is not only hot in figure, but also very eloquent.
Just saying this casually raised this interview to an international level. An ordinary Chinese person might have impulsively agreed based on the passion in his bones.
But Wu Tao is not.
He thought for a moment and said, "In this case, Miss Reese, I can't accept your interview."
"Why?" Reese asked eagerly.
"Because the motherland is not strong enough." Wu Tao dropped these words and turned to leave.
However, Ruisi, who was rejected, did not leave immediately. She still fulfilled her duties as a personal trainer and even established a good relationship with Fang Yuan.
Wu Tao returned to the study upstairs and surfed the Internet for a long time.
It wasn't until Molly's voice came from downstairs that I turned off the computer and went downstairs.
In the kitchen, Fang Yuan and Ruisi were cooking dinner together in harmony. Molly stood in the living room dressed up in a full dress, looking at Wu Tao's homely attire in a vest and big pants, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Wu, we are about to set off, and you haven't dressed up yet?"
Wu Tao looked around, shrugged and said, "I thought you prepared these." After all, it was Molly who prepared them last time, so it's no wonder he thought so.
Molly laughed and said: "Please, last time you were my boyfriend and represented my face. This time you go to the dinner by yourself!"
"So far apart?" Wu Tao turned around and went upstairs, saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't think about it that much."
When Molly saw how slowly he was doing it, she couldn't wait to follow him, holding up the skirt of her evening dress and said, "Forget it, let me help you!"
