Chapter 1211: First There Is a Car, Then There Is a Rut
Using the sales of books, you can easily attract new users to join. Of course, if you just sell books, there is no future.
With William White's participation, Amazon will naturally not waste its time. Well, the side effect is that Dangdang in Big Rabbit Country may no longer exist.
Of course, if it develops too fast, it will have serious side effects. Amazon's financial statements can only be described as appalling.
Even so, it quickly crossed the threshold of tens of billions of dollars. It has to be said that Internet companies are popular for no reason. The wealth effect is here, you have to believe it.
"What, Michael, what are you struggling with? Buyout sales are fair. We also provide a thousand sets of software here."
"Damn it, William White, this bastard, he actually doesn't allow us to set prices. If users get used to this low price, I won't do business in the future."
Listening to Michael Dell's complaints, Bill Gates was a little disapproving. Are you kidding me? It's a Thanksgiving event, and the quantity is limited. If you're not quick enough, you won't be able to grab it, okay?
"The software also folded in half, and I didn't say anything."
"Tch, don't talk nonsense. They say it's not new. It has flaws, but it doesn't affect its use."
The corners of Bill Gates' mouth twitched violently several times. Of course he knew that the so-called flaws were just William White's bad taste.
Damn, pack it well, you must make it a little dirty. But what can he say, unfair competition? Maybe, if possible, it is best not to compete with William White, this guy has no bottom line at all.
Of course, he would not tell Michael Dell these words. They haven't reached that level of intimacy yet.
Of course William White knew very well that many people would be watching this big move. If possible, it's best to take it easy.
In the United States, you don’t get discounts just because you want them. Sales behavior below cost price can easily constitute unfair competition.
However, this is just a period of time. As Amazon continues to raise funds, the structure of the board of directors has become more and more complex. Before long, William White will only have the right to make suggestions.
"Boss, aren't you making wedding clothes for others?"
"Fuck, you can actually drag me to text. The beauty is getting married, and the groom is not me.
This is actually nothing, as long as you have it. Why, you still plan to occupy it for a long time. I don’t know if there are any problems in other places. Your waist must be unable to bear it. "
"Ahem, damn, it doesn't make sense for you to say that. Could it be that you don't have any desire for exclusivity?"
"Oh, how is that possible? First of all, I am not a good person, and no one can give me a good person card.
However, there are some things that really can't be done. Not to mention Amazon, in ten or twenty years, the only business that can be controlled by the White family may be the media. "
"Damn it, if that's the case, I might as well go to Europe for development."
The corner of William White's mouth twitched, Europe, you are still too young. It’s true that Eagle Sauce is a bastard, and there aren’t many good birds in Europe.
Big dogs are welcome if they want to control some important industries. There are also many styles in Europe. Just one European Commission can make you vomit blood.
Google has tens of billions and Apple is close to 100 billion. When you receive the fines one after another, you will have no temper except vomiting blood.
European friends have discovered that antitrust is really easy to use. You, the American emperor, just finished pretending to be 13, and Europe immediately followed suit. In the end, this so-called antitrust actually became a kind of tax.
The Antitrust Act should be considered a good law. This bill played an indispensable role in enabling American imperialism to win World War I and World War II.
After the war, it was also cited by various European countries. Although not as pretentious as the American emperor. But it actually encourages competition.
The sutra is a good sutra, but unfortunately, there are too many monks with crooked mouths. If this bill cannot be adjusted accordingly, then it will be a bad law. Not only will there be no competition, but it will also increase the burden on consumers.
The wool will always come from the sheep, and you can settle with a small fine. What's the difference between this and collecting protection fees? Is there any other possibility besides intensifying the search for the company that you have profited from?
"Jason, it's the same no matter where you go. Also, the United States has an advantage that other economies don't have.
Finance, the volume here is large enough. In fact, being able to cash out smoothly is not necessarily a bad thing. "
Jason Gao is certainly not stupid, he is different from William White. The size is different. If their family wants to escape from Tu'ao, one Olympic run is enough, and they can definitely cash out at a high level.
As for William White, save it. Even if you know that Amazon will be worth one trillion in the future, you still need to reduce your holdings now.
As the company grows, shares are diluted again and again. It is simply impossible to lie down and wait to get rich.
Bill Gates is relatively kind. Look at the founder of Cisco, and then look at what Xiao Mazi did.
Sharing adversity is okay, but when it comes to sharing wealth and honor, I will die as far as you can.
Capitalist country, this is the norm. Jason Gao is a good friend of William White, but his shares are also very limited.
This is enough to be considered kind. Management was able to acquire a certain number of shares, something that was not common before the White House began.
From this point of view, anyone who is currently making a living in Silicon Valley should thank him William White. Leading companies are doing this, and others have no choice but to follow suit.
There is no need to say how outstanding talents will choose under similar conditions.
"Boss, then, you will do the logistics."
"You see? When Amazon gets up, they will naturally want to engage in logistics.
However, it is easier said than done. I want to set the threshold higher now because I am worried that someone will burn the bridge by crossing the river. "
"I see, let me tell you, how could Jeff object?"
"Why don't these Wall Street guys know what's going on? Tsk, you know the valuation will increase significantly, but you can still hold it back.
Jason, from this point on, I'm afraid it's not difficult to see that he is very ambitious. I think the honeymoon period between us is basically over. "
"This ungrateful bastard."
"Ahem, ahem, Jason, you're in trouble.
From his perspective, I had a big advantage. You see, I invested a small amount of money, and now my profit is more than a hundred times. "William White shrugged, very disapproving.
What about the investors, the people who invested in him, William White. Don’t we also need to look at his face?
What's the funniest thing?
Those damn old guys made William White uncomfortable because they coveted those enterprises. In the same way, I don’t dare to come blatantly, but I also covet those companies.
This guy is really pissed off. That’s Citi’s lesson. Not to mention the benefits of not getting a dime, you also need to be wary of this gangster.
The most hateful thing is that this guy refuses to accept reconciliation at all.
William White now has this confidence. If he confronts Citigroup, most financial groups will choose to watch.
For a monster in his early forties, this is really terrifying. As long as he lives long enough, Citigroup really won't be enough.
Alas, William White sighed secretly, it’s hard enough for my brother. I, a second-generation ancestor who likes to spend time and wine, can actually be forced into this by you. Can you please stop forcing me? I can’t spend all my money.
