Chapter 1558 Passion

"Please," when getting out of the elevator, Feng Yiping asked the two people to go ahead again.

"Important people walking behind?" Brin said with a smile.

"No, the older people go ahead," Feng Yiping countered with a smile.

Page, who was walking at the front, had a straight face as usual. Feng Yiping and Brin were just as usual, walking through the hall talking and laughing, and their laughter still resonated in the hall.

Hearing their laughter, Page always felt a little more relaxed.

The hall was now filled with service staff standing with their hands down, all with low eyebrows. From Feng Yiping's relatively professional perspective, these waiters, both men and women, had acquired the essence of British butlers.

This country has a long history with Britain.

Looking from here, one can vaguely see the policemen on duty with automatic rifles at the entrance of the hotel.

To be honest, this battle is even bigger than when I was interviewed at the Great Hall of the People a few days ago.

Mainly because, in order to accommodate the three of them, the technology giants in Bangalore held tonight's dinner at the hotel where they were staying.

So tonight, in addition to the three of them, there are also several local Indian rich people who will be present.

Behind the three of them, there was also a group of people. Ram caught up with him and whispered, "You must not shake hands with ladies. It is best to say Namaste."

"Always use your right hand to receive or pass food,"

But it was obvious that these three young bosses didn't seem to care too much about what he said.

In other words, even the heads of state of the two largest countries in the world have met more than once, and there is no taboo on this or that.

The people we want to meet now are just some people who are far inferior to them in terms of personal wealth and company strength. Do we have to remember so many things?

It's not like you're going to meet your Indian father-in-law, just follow common etiquette.

You must use your right hand. What do you do with so many left-handers in the world?

Mike coughed and shook his head at Ram.

Ram also shook his head and smiled bitterly. Yes, these three are not ordinary people.

In front, two Sikh waiters with turbans on their heads and dressed in costumes who looked like they could serve directly in an ancient Indian palace respectfully opened the door to the banquet hall.

Suddenly, the noise in the banquet hall started.

As soon as he saw the three of them, two ministers in long robes and blue waistcoats, accompanied by a large group of people in suits and ties, they immediately came over and said, "Welcome three distinguished guests,"

Then, they acted as introducers and introduced the large number of bearded men in suits around them.

Some customs in South India are a bit similar to those in ancient times in our country, such as beards. Men in South India attach great importance to beards because they are a symbol of status. Naturally, everyone here today is a person of status, so there is no exception. , all have beards.

"Hello, nice to meet you." Feng Yiping and the others passively shook hands with this group of people who seemed to be very important in the local area. However, none of these people seemed to have their families, and there was no appearance at all that Ram worried about. of that situation.

After the introduction, Minister Singh wisely left the opportunity to talk to these local technology giants in India.

Tonight, all the founders and heads of India’s four major technology giants were present.

Including Narayana Murthy, the founder of Infosys, known as the father of India's Silicon Valley; Azim Premji, the founder of Wipro, known as the Bill Gates of India ; Ramalinga Raja, founder of Satyam.

Tata Consultancy Services was established by the department of Tata Corporation that was originally responsible for group software. Therefore, the person in charge of Tata Consulting Services came this time. Perhaps he was worried that the portion was not enough, so he accompanied Patney and a group of people. A person named Tata is obviously a member of the Tata family.

Feng Yiping and the others only brought a glass of wine and were immediately separated. "Mr. Feng," Narayana Murthy, who spoke slowly, wore glasses, and looked very scholarly, came to him first. he.

"Hello Mr. Murthy," Feng Yiping nodded politely, "We passed by your company's industrial park, which is very beautiful."

Among these four companies, in terms of total business volume, Tata Consulting ranks first. The other three companies' total sales last year were less than 1 billion US dollars. However, in terms of reputation, Murthy ranks first. first place.

The reason why Indians call him the father of Silicon Valley in their country is because he pioneered the global delivery model of the Indian software industry, which is currently the most important business model in the Indian IT industry.

In 1981, he used his wife's dowry - some said $250, some said $300 - to form Infosys with six other partners. It has now set up offices or offices in 15 countries and regions around the world. Branch, the total number of employees is close to 30,000.

There is a saying in India that “India’s corporate hero in the 1970s was Ambani (India’s richest man and energy king), the corporate national hero in the 1980s was TATA, and the hero in the 1990s was not Murthy. No one else."

Many people in Tata know that the Ambani in the outside dialogue - Dhirubhai Ambani, is relatively unknown. In fact, this is not the case, but everyone has not compared it.

In a few years, many people in the world will know from a house that there is a big tycoon in India. That big tycoon spent US$1 billion to build a 27-story building in downtown Mumbai with a living area of ​​more than 30,000 square meters. His mansion serves as a residence for his family - more magnificent than Bill Gates.

The big tycoon is exactly the son of Ambani in this sentence, Mukesh Ambani. Naturally, much of Mukesh Ambani's property was inherited from the old Ambani who died in 2002.

Being able to photograph both Tata and Ambani on the beach shows Murthy's reputation and influence.

"I very much hope that Mr. Feng can come to our park," said Murthy, 58, who is a symbol of Bangalore and the father of Asia's Silicon Valley. He was very polite to the young man in front of him who was too young.

"Our company has been honored to receive the first two prime ministers of your country, and now we are very happy to welcome the world's youngest business genius to visit,"

His words confirmed what Feng Yiping had always thought. Many of the scenic spots we visited for the first time, as well as the cities and companies we arrived at for the first time, our leaders had already visited many of them despite their busy schedules: The scenic spots have their inscriptions, and the company has their group photos.

"You flatter me,"

"No, I have read Mr. Feng's blue ocean strategy several times. It has provided a lot of reference and new ideas for our company's system consulting business,"

"I am very honored,"

"The companies Mr. Feng founded in the United States and the several mergers and acquisitions he presided over made us even more ashamed,"

It seems that this person has really done a lot of homework.

"Thank you, I was just lucky," Feng Yiping looked a little shy again.

At his current age, making such an expression actually goes well with him and makes people feel good about him.

"The global delivery model pioneered by Mr. Murthy created an industry and has greater practical significance," said Feng Yiping.

Global delivery in the software industry is not as simple as other physical products. Especially offshore delivery, it is a very complex system engineering involving complex processes, laws, information security... and many other issues.

Through his own attempts, Murthy made all this a systematic process, which is indeed not simple.

Let’s put it this way, nearly 80% of the customers of India’s four major outsourcing-focused technology giants are in Europe and the United States, but more than 70% of software service delivery is in India and relies on remote delivery.

Without Murthy, India's outsourcing services would not be as prosperous as they are now.

Murthy also had a smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was really happy.

He was convinced by Feng Yiping.

Not to mention other things, he also has another honor, that is, the company he founded was the first private company in India to be listed in the United States.

But this achievement is nothing compared to Feng Yiping. While he was still in college, he successfully listed one of his companies on Nasdaq and became the youngest founder and chairman of the board of directors of a listed company in the US stock market. Within a few months Later, another of his companies was successfully listed on Nasdaq.

Then, he acquired a Nasdaq-listed company, and then another. The acquisition amount was the sum of his company's sales for many years.

Then, Google, as one of its major shareholders, successfully went public and set one record after another...

The scale of his company and his net worth are even different from his.

In the face of such achievements, he really admired Feng Yiping, and Feng Yiping's heartfelt praise really made him happy.

"If you put it this way, Mr. Feng has created more industries," this middle-aged man who was not tall and spoke slowly lowered the rim of his glass and humbly touched the wine glass in Feng Yiping's hand.

"Several of my companies will set up offices in Bangalore as soon as possible. I am very much looking forward to cooperating with your company." Since the old man has a slow temper, Feng Yiping feels that it is best to get to the topic himself. After all, time now is quite precious. of.

Murthy was overjoyed again and immediately said enthusiastically, "As a local company that has grown up with Bangalore, Infosys is very happy to provide all possible assistance to Mr. Feng in setting up a local company."

When it came to business, he spoke a little faster, "I heard that Mr. Feng also plans to set up a venture capital company in Bangalore? If necessary, we can guarantee that these companies will be established and put into operation in the shortest possible time,"

"Because this is our first time to enter the Indian market, we need the support and help of veterans like you, Mr. Murthy. Thank you in advance," Feng Yiping also clinked glasses with him.

"No problem. Of course, we also look forward to having more cooperation with your company, Mr. Feng." Murthy then said his main purpose, "Infosys provides services to many industries and companies. We have provided a perfect solution, even taking over all the backend work of many companies.”

"We have designed well-received reservation systems for many hotel groups in Europe and the United States. We have also taken over all the back-end work of many banking institutions. We are responsible for operating all their ATM machines."

Feng Yiping nodded, "I think I understand your wishes,"

Murthy said this because he saw opportunities for cooperation with Feng Yiping's hotel reservation system, as well as Coin Star and Redbox. Considering the cost and benefit, Feng Yiping did not exclude such cooperation.

"Next, we will have a professional technical team coming to Bangalore soon. I think they will be happy to have constructive exchanges with you, Mr. Murthy,"

"Thank you," Murthy, who successfully secured the opportunity, smiled. "If you have any other questions, we welcome Mr. Feng to raise them. Our aim is that when the world raises demands, Infosys is responsible for solving them."

"Our solutions are not limited to the IT industry. You may not know that we have undertaken part of Airbus's wing design,"

Oh, this is the first time Feng Yiping has heard that they are actually involved in the aviation and machinery manufacturing industries! However, these aspects are not the weaknesses of the entire country of Third Brother. Their performance in the military industry is a strong proof.

"No problem," Feng Yiping shook hands with him, "Looking forward to our cooperation,"

"Looking forward to our cooperation and thank you Mr. Feng for your time,"

After finally finishing the conversation, Feng Yiping saw that Page and Brin were still surrounded by people, so he hurried to the dining table, hoping to get something to eat before the conversation started.

However, when he looked at the food on the dining table among the various gold and silver tableware, he felt a little confused. He really didn't know how to choose. Third Brother's delicacies, alas!

Later, he simply forked a piece of dough and was about to dip it into the yellow paste that looked similar to the bean paste made by his mother. At this time, accompanied by a faint fragrance, he heard a sentence in his ears, "If I If it were you, you wouldn't choose to dip this,"
