June's a hot summer day, Hong Kong, Zhou Kaixuan, the founder of the Beijing Oriental Plaza, Li Ka Shing Foundation directors and shareholders of TOM Group, and eBay CEO Meg Whitman together to usher in a long-awaited appointment . However, this meeting with their respective net worth billions behind nothing.
Meg Whitman was the "Fortune" magazine as "2004 the world's most influential women in business" is very easy tonight.
Veteran band Bee Gees 顥?顥?than the Robin Gibb Brothers on stage solo classical music, the audience stands between Meg (Meg) revel in the low humming, music is like a time tunnel, and perhaps that moment she had returned to girlhood a certain joy.
If you do not know her background, who would believe this gentle eyes like a child as shy blonde is the dominant online flea market, she led the company's market value had once reached 70 billion U.S. dollars scary. In a few days is the eBay-year-old birthday, market forecast revenue in 2005 will reach 4 billion U.S. dollars, operating profit of 1 billion U.S. dollars.
Not sure if I stare too embarrassed her, she gently told me that she learn Chinese, confidence and meet again the next time will certainly say a few words speak standard Mandarin. Listen to her saying, eBay's shareholders should be very encouraging. Meg is not the kind of Chinese dream on paper, others, and hegemony in China's hot disc, but practicing commitment.
The New York Long Island mother of two sons, very determined to make eBay "the world's largest online trading platform," the experience of putting down roots in China. In the Fortune Forum in Beijing this year, Meg has repeatedly said "no success in China, a company it can not be global." She earlier than me to China, Meg recalled shopping in Yunnan in 1979, when, attracted a large crowd of curious people. Meg said: "The trip to the formation of my character have a profound impact." She has a unique feeling in China two years ago, her son to an ordinary Chinese family lived for a year.
In 1998, when eBay founder Pierre Omidyar has announced that Hasbro is responsible to recruit, "Mr. Potato" project for CEO Meg Whitman, those head rigidity of the "opinions of experts" have high talk about the old economy to new economic models help experience The humble opinion, something is always an outsider Reflection of Life are of equal and no insight at all; familiar with both Meg's people said she was "fox" and "Hedgehog" character, is she successful genes.
The seventh century BC Greek poet Archilochus have a catch phrase: "The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing." Use the language of management, the hedgehog is the system master, focused nature make it look always glued to the core; fox Multi-thinking is a kind of centrifugal force method is more like the fox I believe the world has multiple truths, not resist trying a different psychological approach.
Today's executive master's skill not only a gravity-type core concept and like to cover things like the atmosphere, cloud-like flow-line strategy; successful CEO of thinking, such as Buddhism have to empty the "mirror is not Taiwan," can to accommodate the different concepts in the same time details of the balance, the district distinguish foundation. Li Ka-shing, said on the often deep inside the psychological quality and the effort is at stake.
The "right time" and Meg, the gave up the original work, because she finds that "trust" is the ebay trading platforms that power tools, she was convinced that eBay can play Ping Zhang successful Internet business essential viral 顥?顥?infectious and parasitic (parasitic) feature.
1995 only a few thousand users by the rapid development platform to 1.5 million users, estimated in the United States alone there are more than 50 million people every day, full-time "bubble" in the ebay on to earn a living. This virtual shopping mall has 365 trading days during all the time, to a certain degree of ebay trading platform to promote global commerce revolution. Meg asked her that most distinguishes ebay, she will not hesitate to say: "feedbacks (feedback), ebay traders are jealous of their reputation, as the feedbacks for the large medal. Feedbacks fight counterfeiting, eBay fraud a powerful weapon, excellent and reliable operators to have 200 000 feedbacks points (credit points). "
System in 1999 brought 22 hours of paralysis eBay experience, Meg seems to still have a lingering fear; facing investors and the eBay user mounting criticism and anger bombers, Meg and dignity that chaos, like the hedgehog, she should issue from the roots dug out. She rushed to re-opening of the temporary repair platform, after a whole month, and she almost lived at the office, I would like to use is not enough to describe her most drastic at the time resolve.
eBay's CIO Maynard Webb, said: "I appreciate her spirit always ask questions, no one can see that Meg must not be as' almost''sir." After this incident, ebay run after rebuilding the system architecture really can do it year round So far the year "when the" machine is almost less than 3 minutes.
Dragon Boat Festival, lazy days, blazing heat of 40 degrees is not melted the "Times" as "the most adventurous new auction hero" of interest. Boat speed up to 40 miles, Meg sat quietly bow your breath, Xiao Xiao, stabbed in the sea breeze in the face thoughtfully.
Meg said: "My desire is to create a global online trading platform to support a wide range of users do what they want to do." Cell group is the value of eBay's greatest assets. In the press from time to time to see that the eBay user dissatisfaction. Meg said she was very patient on the complainants, attaches great importance to communication with users, and only equal rules of the game to be in the public find most effective constraint.
Small businesses complained to eBay, such as the introduction of powerful buyers such as IBM and Disney, squeezing their business space, Meg explained to them the most important business platform is to have any implementation of any business transactions with high efficiency, flexible feature Auctions buyers and sellers to provide a reliable price guide. When the United States Government when the introduction of online transactions tax, Meg has side by side with the small business lobby in Washington to Washington, vigorously opposing views.
Such as agile as a fox, Meg and launch a comprehensive round of mergers and acquisitions in the offensive was not limited to online businesses in the United States, her goal has regional 顥?such as India's Baazee.com 顥?also functional (such as online payment Company Paypal). Through horizontal and vertical integration, eBay business history known as the fastest growing and most successful within the company. Market analysts praise on eBay while not without fear, they think eBay from Yahoo and Google to face two network intrusion sites, which threatened the giant, Google's Adwords account search opportunities, a week ago Yahoo is more prepared to price competition, Yahoo Auctions announced a free service.
Listen Dragon drum, Meg on the competition see very input, "Undoubtedly, today's shoppers have more choice, but with other firms, our users more familiar than eBay, eBay's colleagues strength, our main task is to listen, respond and achievements may be. " It seems the future of a well-thought Meg on eBay.
This is Meg third visit, she said that before the first and second can only be through Hong Kong - the first was 17 years ago, the second is to lecture. She excitedly of the map, from the helicopter on her visit to Hong Kong tomorrow, she would like to understand the cardinal points of different landmarks, look at the dragon boat race she listened with relish the story of Qu Yuan. Side-view, this strong woman who must be the most proactive of her efforts, but I never forget the scene, it was when she answered a phone call that the joy of their faces, I do not know who to information, I can only be sure that this moment her heart had been flown to the man's side.
