"Nextdoor's focus on security is just as popular in Canada, but our relationship with the local government's security services needs to be strengthened," Buchanan said. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Feng Yiping thought, in fact, I am afraid that the current Canada is not too worried about security.

To put it mildly, although the world political ecology has undergone very profound changes after 911, those extremist forces rarely focus on Canada, the United States and its younger brother Britain, as well as representatives of several other Western countries in Europe, such as France and Germany, are the objects of those organizations' attention.

As for Canada, it really doesn't seem to be the target of those extremist organizations for the time being, as if any action launched in Canada is successful, and the international influence is not enough, and because it relies on the United States, the risk is relatively large.

Speaking of which, Canada ranks among the top in the world in terms of land area and national economy, but its influence in international affairs is really not commensurate with its conditions.

In the Commonwealth of Nations, not to mention India, even Australia is not as good.

This may have something to do with Canada's unique experience.

Because of the relationship between Dr. Norman Bethune, an international communist fighter who has always been selfless, we know the country called Canada at a very young age, but I am afraid that few people can know when Canada became a real country.

Since its discovery in the 16th century, the place has been a French and then British colony, and although in 1926 it was granted independent diplomatic rights, but it was not until April 1982, when the United Kingdom passed the Canadian Constitution Act, that the country finally became de facto independent from Britain and became a real state.

Therefore, Canada was the world leader before World War I, the younger brother of Britain, and after World War II, Britain became the younger brother of the United States, so it is the younger brother of the United States, .......

With such an embarrassing identity, I really want to have a significant impact in the world, to be honest, it is really difficult.

From another point of view, this is also a bit like the meaning of black under the lamp, the big guy America is too dazzling, completely obscuring its light.

Therefore, even extremist groups will not make it a target of the first series of attacks, which is really frustrating and happy.

Without an urgent need for security, the rollout of Nextdoor in Canada will certainly not be as easy as it is in the United States.

Feng Yiping felt that he had miscalculated for the first time, and he should have gone to Canada to promote it at the same time when 911 first happened, and the effect might be good.

As for the relationship with the local government's security department, this must be even more lacking, "How are you going to solve this problem?" Feng Yiping asked, "Can you also recruit a person like you in Buchanan in Canada to help us coordinate these relationships?"

"That's what we think and we've commissioned headhunters to help us find the right people," Buchanan said.

"The final conclusion is that the Canadian side needs to find the right breakthrough to quickly promote the construction of our sub-sites, and we need a suitable former politician to help us coordinate those vital public relations," Feng Yiping briefly concluded.

"The second question, as long as you wait for the right person to be in place, what do you think about the breakthrough?"

"Well," Buchanan and the rest of the executives look at me, and I'll look at you, "we're also considering various factors, but we haven't found the most suitable one yet,"

"Therefore, Canada's expansion, we think that it is still mainly Toronto, while promoting, while summing up experience," Buchanan said this, also a little embarrassed.

Feng Yiping was not particularly unhappy, it was impossible for everything to follow him.

…………

In Buchanan's office, there was a lot of scratch paper piled up on the table, and he and Feng Yiping screened many possible directions, and in the end, Feng Yiping had to think that the current door-to-door promotion was the most effective way.

However, Canada's manpower is not as cheap as in China, so the scale of this promotion team is not large, so the efficiency is naturally not high.

"Go out for a walk?" Feng Yiping said, he wanted to go outside and change his mind.

"Okay, I'll explain,"

"Buchanan, you should understand Bruce's behavior," when waiting for the elevator, there was no one around, Feng Yiping mentioned, "Such a situation cannot be avoided, and, from the overall perspective of the company, such behavior, as long as it is well controlled, is beneficial to our growth,"

"Don't worry, Feng, I understand," Buchanan said, "everyone wants to be regarded as an important person, and this desire for self-superiority, if effectively controlled and guided, will succeed in arousing everyone's motivation,"

At least he figured it out, and that's good.

From Feng Yiping's point of view, he still hopes that someone can covet Buchanan's position, so that both of them will work very hard.

But if Buchanan can't understand this problem correctly, for example, after Feng Yiping returned to Silicon Valley, he suppressed Bruce, who deliberately performed in front of Feng Yiping today, it would cause internal friction.

Internal friction, that's a very terrible thing.

"Mr. Feng," the front desk in high heels ran over with small steps, "there is a Chinese newspaper that wants to conduct an interview with you, how should I reply?"

"Chinese newspapers?" this Feng Yiping is not the first contact, two years ago for his book, he gave a speech in several places in the United States, that time, he was also interviewed by several Chinese newspapers in New York, but not an exclusive interview.

"Let them leave their contact information, and give them a reply tomorrow at the latest," presumably these newspapers also saw the news of their lunch with Bloomberg, so they came to interview.

"Just take me around Chinatown," Mr. Feng said.

"Okay, let's go to Flushing,"

"This side of the lower city at the southern end of Manhattan is now highly commercialized, the cost of living is very high, after 911, many people have felt that Manhattan is not safe enough, therefore, in order to reduce the cost of living, many Chinese have moved their families to Flushing, and now Flushing is the best Chinatown in New York,"

"Okay, just go there and have a look," Feng Yiping was as good as a stream.

…………

Through movies and television, many people learned about the life of the upper class of high society on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

Then the opposite is Queens.

When you cross the bridge at the toll booth, you immediately see many construction sites and many old residential buildings made of bricks without balconies.

As far as the eye can see, in addition to the boxy old buildings all over the world, there are only a variety of colorful but artistic wall graffiti, which is indeed very lively.

Moreover, unlike the general American community, here, even under those old buildings, has also been turned into shops, and life is very convenient, just like in China.

"There are so many people," Buchanan sighed before he could really go down.

This is always the case in places where the Chinese live.

Feng Yiping remembered a joke he had heard before, "That time in Manhattan's Chinatown, I heard a restaurant owner say that one day, a customer came to his shop, and he specially chose a seat near the door where he could see the street outside, and he sat for three or four hours at a time, and he seemed to never get tired of looking at it."

"The owner of the restaurant asked him curiously what he was looking at? The man said, I'm from Texas, and I'm here to see these people."

"Haha," Buchanan laughed, "Texas, it's really sparsely populated, he's never seen so many people on the street all the time, and it's normal,"

They have stepped into the lively "Main Street", which is the main and most lively commercial street in Flushing, a Chinese residential area.

Of course, this street, don't be smart and think that it has anything to do with Myanmar, it's really not, it's completely transliterated, mainstreet.

Walking down the bustling street, Feng Yiping still noticed that this side was different from the Chinatown in Manhattan, where most of the conversations were in Cantonese, and on this side, accents from the southeast and northwest of China were there.

Ignoring the lively traditional Chinese signboards on the side of the road and the large number of foreigners in the crowd, Feng Yiping had the feeling that he was currently wandering around the domestic train station.

Everything is really very similar, the goods from all over the world, the people from the south to the north, the enthusiastic electric horn shouting in the roadside store, and the domestic railway station around the real no difference, lively, noisy, it doesn't look very hygienic, the overall feeling, just one word, "chaos".

"Am I in America?" Buchanan laughed.

"Of course, you must be," Feng Yiping said, "if it is fake,"

Then he also asked a question, "I just wanted to ask, isn't this Wall Street?"

Along the way, he noticed that in such a small area, he has seen more than a dozen banks such as Wells Fargo, HSBC, Bank of America, and ********, which is too exaggerated.

However, when he considers that Asians, who are mainly Chinese, have a high deposit rate, he is relieved.

"According to news reports, because the Chinese are concentrated in Flushing's generation of residents and businesses, this has even driven employment and the economy in Queens, and the latest data shows that Flushing's employment population has increased by nearly 5%, which is 8 times that of all New York City,"

Feng Yiping's attention at this time was focused on the doors of those stores, these names are very atmospheric, and the prefixes are generally Asian, East Asian, South Asian, New Asia, and New World...... Wait a minute.

And these signboards are quite interesting, such as the store in front of me, the first line on the signboard is to recharge mobile phones and landlines, the second item is the express delivery of the United States and China, and the third item is the thing, most people can't guess, "special cockroach medicine,"

It's rare to see whether the sales are good or not in this country! And how can a store do these several businesses at the same time, is it not related at all?

"Buchanan, how many Chinese are there in New York?" Feng Yiping asked, looking at the bustling crowd in front of him.

"It should be close to 700,000,"

"So many?" Feng Yiping was a little surprised, but at the same time, he felt as if he had caught something, "By the way, what about the distribution of people in Toronto? Who are the main people, are there many Chinese, and how many are there?"

"British and French are the most numerous, with more than 25 percent, other Europeans make up more than 10 percent, Asians, Africans and Arabs make up about 10 percent, and the rest are mixed," Buchanan seems to be very clear about the data.

"What is the total number of Chinese in Toronto?"

"Close to 400,000!"

"I think this can be used as a breakthrough," Feng Yiping's idea became clearer, "Give full play to my advantages, do more publicity, and let my compatriots support our website first, isn't it okay?"

Buchanan stood there and thought for a moment, "At least, it's a direction worth working on,"

"However, this requires us to develop a complete action plan, and the upfront publicity is very important,"

"Propaganda? Didn't a Chinese newspaper just want to give me an interview?"

"Overseas Chinese newspaper," Buchanan said quickly, holding his phone.

Looking at his appearance, he seemed to be a little dissatisfied, "What's the matter, is this newspaper not selling well, or is it not in circulation in Toronto?"

"I knew that the overseas Chinese newspaper must be the first to come, because everyone knows that it is a left-wing (pro-communist) newspaper that reports the most news in Chinese mainland, and as soon as you, the richest man in the mainland, appear, they will definitely come to the door immediately."

It's just that the overseas Chinese newspaper has the third largest circulation in New York, but in Toronto, it is not even the third in circulation. ”

"The number one newspaper is still the World Journal?" Feng Yiping has an influence on this newspaper, and it is the most read newspaper by Chinese Americans.

"Yes, the circulation of the World Journal in Toronto also ranks first, New York and Toronto, the second largest circulation of Chinese newspapers, Sing Tao Daily,"

"Then you can contact me, I will cooperate with these two newspapers to do an interview,"

"I forgot to tell you," Buchanan shook his phone, "not long after we came out, World Journal and Sing Tao Daily also approached the company and wanted to give you an interview," (To be continued.) )
