Chapter 402 Amazon's Financial Report Released
Burbank Villa.
night.
"Boss, Mr. Bezos is here," Alexander said.
"Oh? Then what are you waiting for, let him come over quickly, just to let him taste my grilled chicken wings." After speaking, Zuke smeared a layer of honey on the chicken wings on the barbecue grill.
On a quiet and peaceful evening, in the courtyard covered with grass, it is definitely a very wonderful thing to set up a barbecue grill, have a few bottles of wine, and drink with others.
No, Zucker is doing it!
But there was one episode, the night in Los Angeles in July was really hot enough that even though Zucker put up a few fans in the courtyard, he was still sweating profusely.
"Hi Jeff~"
"Hi, Zucker~"
After Jeff Bezos entered the courtyard of the villa, Zucker and Jeff nodded to each other, even if they said hello.
On a hot day, who would shake hands and hug when it's okay?
If it is not hot to death, it must be sticky to death.
"I said buddy, you are here today, and try the chicken wings I baked myself. Well, let me tell you additionally, the chicken wings I used today are not from the market, but from my own farm." Zucker said.
Several pairs of chicken wings were neatly arranged in front of Bei's bald head.
"Not bad." Bei Baldtou said after eating a few chicken wings.
slap~
Zuke immediately clapped his hands and said, "I just said that my skills are very good. Oh, by the way, I have an idea, do you want to do it together."
"What is it?"
No wonder Bezos is not interested. He really knows that Zucker has a lot of crazy ideas, but he can make money!
For a time, Bezos's interest increased greatly!
"The Produce Company!"
Zucker waved his fist, like a speaker standing on the podium,
The whole person's expression was full of excitement.
"Man, although the current medical system is quite developed, and food hygiene and water hygiene have also been improved one after another, and various state governments have issued various laws and regulations, but, to be honest, I think the quality and hygiene can be improved again!"
"Green health!"
"The agricultural product company I want to set up will be as small as fruits and vegetables, drinking water, genetic research, and drug innovation. In a word, it is all-encompassing~"
Zucker kept waving his fists in the air.
On the other hand, Bei's bald head is definitely a black line at this moment.
"Zuck!!! If you're going to have useless things with me again, do you believe I'll leave now?!" Bezos gritted his teeth.
I've taken off my pants, so you're talking about this with me?
"Okay okay, I was wrong~"
Zucker made a guilty expression, waved his hand, and said sternly: "In the past three months, how many Amazon shares have you received?"
"I bought 7 million Amazon shares at an average price of $9, well, that's about it." Bei Baldtou also became serious.
Zucker nodded.
7 million Amazon shares with an average price of $9, which means they spent more than $63 million, accounting for roughly 1% of the total share capital.
"Then your current shareholding ratio is roughly around 23.2%?" Zhu Ke said solemnly.
"Do not!"
Bei's bald head showed a sly smile: "At this time tomorrow, there should be 23.8% of the shares. Tomorrow at around three o'clock in the afternoon, the Amazon shares held by Lao Terra will be sold to me."
"You're fast enough!" Zucker exclaimed.
Hearing this, Bei Guangtou immediately laughed and scolded: "Don't say you didn't buy back many shares, then I absolutely don't believe it."
Zhu Ke smirked.
Indeed!
In the near future, Zucker also bought back a lot of Amazon stock.
As of now, Zucker’s Amazon stock has exceeded 7.5%, which is only 0.5% less than when it was not sold before.
Man, think about it.
Amazon's stock price is now less than $8.4, and before the dot-com bubble burst, Amazon's single share price was more than $120.
One after the other, one sell-off and one repurchase, Zucker earned no less than $2 billion in it!
This profit alone is enough to make countless people jealous.
"Our action to repurchase shares has to be accelerated. After all, it will not be long before Amazon's new quarterly earnings announcement." Zucker said with a smile.
Bei Guangtou nodded and said solemnly: "We really need to speed up our actions. Moreover, we can't eat alone, we must let some people join in, otherwise we will become the target of public criticism!"
Internet thinking refers to making the plate bigger, the cake bigger, and the market bigger, and everyone can make money together to maximize the benefits.
Eat alone?
In the field of the Internet, the most taboo is to eat alone!
Is it impossible for you to be another shareholder?
......
mid-July.
Amazon's new quarterly earnings report is finally out!
Last quarter, Amazon was profitable!
- $5.5 million in profit!
less?
However, you have to know one thing, Amazon can still be profitable even if the Internet company environment is not profitable, this is definitely the only one for scorpion shit;
In addition, the Internet industry as a whole is sluggish today, and even big companies such as Microsoft, Cisco, Yahoo, and Oracle have shown losses in their recent financial reports.
But Amazon is profitable!
As a result, Amazon was able to make a profit of more than 5 million US dollars, shocking the United States!
"The Washington Post" said: "Amazon, it is the first Internet company in the United States to achieve profitability after the burst of the Internet bubble!"
"The New York Times" said: "The steady and steady Amazon company is bound to rise rapidly!"
"Bloomberg News" issued an article saying: "There is no doubt that Amazon has achieved profitability and injected a forcible injection into the current corrupt Internet market!"
For a time, many well-known media newspapers in the United States, including some entertainment tabloids, were constantly reporting on this phenomenon.
Amazon is an Internet myth that rose in the mid-to-late 1990s!
In the late 1990s, all major Internet companies focused on expanding user groups and expanding the market. As for the question of profitability, many companies did not consider it.
The result?
The capital chain is tense, or even collapsed!
On the day the Internet bubble burst, as many as 500 listed companies declared bankruptcy.
On the other hand, Amazon, which is stable and stable, is the first Internet company to achieve profitability even with a huge loss in market value. For this alone, it has surpassed many companies and become a star company in the Internet field.
Why in 2020, Amazon's single share price exceeded $2,000, making it the company with the highest single share price in the world.
It became the first profitable Internet company after the Internet bubble, and won the trust of shareholders and the market!
the next day.
Many investors and investment institutions have focused their attention on Amazon.
The most direct response was that Amazon's stock price rose by $3 that day and returned to more than $10 in one fell swoop.
at the same time.
Zhu Ke and Bei Baldtou, together with more than a dozen shareholders, launched an acquisition to some shareholders to buy the Amazon shares in their hands.
"Do not!"
"I reject!"
"Yes, I refuse too!"
"Amazon has regained the trust of shareholders and the market. I firmly believe that the stock price will usher in a wave of rises. I will sell the shares to you now? Hehe, I'm not stupid!"
"After the Internet bubble, the first company in the United States to achieve profitability, this name alone, Amazon's future is enough to look forward to."
For a time, Zhu Ke, Bei Guangtou and others encountered great obstacles in repurchasing Amazon shares.
"Zuke, what should I do now?" Bei Guangtou looked gloomy.
"Ha ha!"
Zucker laughed: "Don't worry, man. Do you really think Amazon's stock price won't go down any more?"
Hearing this, Bei Baldou immediately shrank his pupils.
Amazon shares soar?
Zucker can only laugh!
Classmate Zhu Ke is a traveler!
You know, Amazon's stock price has indeed achieved a wave of gains in the near future, but the Internet is eroding! After ushering in a wave of gains, the stock price will fall back soon.
2 USD!
By the second half of 2001, Amazon's stock price will continue to fall by $2!
"We have so much time!" Zucker smiled.
" "The first more sent.
