Chapter 2272: The New Normal of Mutual Penetration

"Is that so?" Feng Yiping replied, and after a moment's silence, he looked at Bezos and said, "Will this be the norm when we meet in the future?"

Bezos also fell silent, and he looked at the employees who were rushing to and fro below, "Maybe, it's really unavoidable."

At the beginning, the relationship between him and Feng Yiping should be said to be very harmonious.

Feng Yiping likes many of Amazon's ideas very much, especially their insistence on investing heavily in scientific research.

And Bezos also admires this young man from a foreign country.

Admire his vision, his knowledge, and his sharpness.

Whether it is the blue ocean strategy that sublimates some examples into theories, or big data and cloud computing that systematically portray and define some hot areas in the future, and point out their application directions in various industries...There are not many people who can do this.

In particular, he is not just an empty theorist, he is also a successful entrepreneur.

He is a young entrepreneur who can easily get the best conditions from himself in cooperation.

Amazon also has many energetic and talented young people. Bezos has come into contact with many outstanding young people on the road of entrepreneurship over the years, but there is no one who can be compared with Feng Yiping in his age group.

When he communicates with some people, he occasionally talks about Feng Yiping. Although no one says it explicitly, he can feel that many people have the same feeling as him, "I really hope that I can look like him when I was young."

If women are like this, they are mostly not envious, but jealous and hateful, but men are different.

Although everyone mainly considers their own interests in business cooperation, they admire Feng Yiping in private.

This appreciation does not mean that their ability or strength is superior to Feng Yiping, but a group of guys who are at least 25 years older than Feng Yiping appreciate young people.

Or it can be said that they appreciate each other.

For people like Bezos who are old and have achieved results, it is not easy to meet such a person.

Although they will not resort to words, they cherish a friend like Feng Yiping - this little also refers to his youth.

However, now, the relationship between them is somewhat subtle.

Feng Yiping also knows that the relationship between them is inevitably a little subtle now.

Although the first contact with Amazon was not very pleasant, after that, when he met Bezos, they had a very speculative chat, and the relevant cooperation was very smooth and in-depth.

But now, after all, he is the largest shareholder of China's largest e-commerce, and Bezos's Amazon is currently the most popular e-commerce in the United States.

Judging from Feng Yiping's layout, he will obviously not give up the US market, and judging from Bezos's actions, he is not without ambition for the Chinese market.

And this ambition is now being curbed by Feng Yiping's company.

Whitman's eBay, the expansion in China, can be said to be a failure, and finally simply sold it in a package, and the situation of Lei Jun's Joyo.com, which was acquired by Bezos, is not much better.

He and Bezos can now be said to be real competitors.

Hearing bad news from competitors, that is, bad news in Bezos's mouth, can be said to be the norm in the business world.

"But work is work," Bezos said.

"Haha, yes," Feng Yiping, who rarely drinks in the office, stood up and poured a glass of wine, "Work is work,"

"Cheers," "Cheers," the two clinked their glasses.

"Then I'll tell you the bad news directly," Bezos said, "As a shareholder of IMDB, you will know this news sooner or later, but I still want to tell you while I'm in Silicon Valley this time,"

"Many people think that we should provide visitors with free online viewing of movies and TV series on IMDB," he said.

"No need to download, watch online?" Feng Yiping asked.

"Yes, watch online. If you can't watch a certain movie on IMDB, you can watch it on the Amazon website," Bezos said.

"What about the scale?" Feng Yiping continued to ask.

"At least 10,000 movies and TV series," Bezos said, "We will also allow other independent filmmakers who cooperate with us to provide video content on IMDB, and we will selectively play some of them,"

"Haha, this is really your style," Feng Yiping laughed.

In fact, Amazon is a strong competitor of Netflix in online DVD sales. Now, the two sides can be said to have started to compete head-on in the field of streaming media.

Moreover, Amazon is still free.

"Are these free contents relatively old?" Feng Yiping asked.

"Haha, yes," Bezos laughed twice, "mostly classic old movies."

Feng Yiping knew that neither Bezos nor Amazon would do such a thing as spending money to buy copyrights and putting them online for users to watch for free.

"Another point is that after this project is launched, it will only target our users in the United States for a long time,"

"Even if I am not involved in the e-commerce field and you have not acquired IMDB, when our company develops to a certain level, we will inevitably have competition, either in this field or in another field, so ," Feng Yiping said, "This is not bad news,"

"At least, I have been prepared for such news,"

Just like Hollywood and major TV stations at this time, it is unlikely that Netflix will be their biggest competitor in the future. Hastings and others will not expect that e-commerce companies like Amazon will become their largest competitor in the future. competitors.

But Feng Yiping knew it early on.

"You don't have to answer me, but I know, will Amazon also have plans for self-made content in the future?" He looked at Bezos and asked.

Bezos did not directly address the issue, but said, "I very much agree with what you just said,"

In other words, there will inevitably be competition, so that is for sure.

"Fortunately, this market is big enough. We especially welcome ambitious and pursuing companies like Amazon to enter the field of streaming media and work with us to change the existing film and television landscape,"

"I'm glad to hear you say that," Bezos said, taking another sip of wine.

"But Bezos, you have to be prepared. Neither Netflix nor YouTube will be an easy competitor," Feng Yiping said.

"I know, I know, with you here, how can they be easy to deal with? Likewise, we can't be underestimated, right?" Bezos said.

"Haha," "Haha," both of them laughed.

"Okay, it's time to talk about the good news." Bezos sat up straight. "We plan to add an option to give gifts to friends and family on the website. We hope to cooperate with Facebook in this regard,"

“That is, Facebook users can see their friends’ shopping lists on the Amazon website, or their wish lists, and when their friends’ birthdays or related anniversaries are approaching, they will receive email reminders so that they can Buy the gifts your friends like in a timely manner?" Feng Yiping said immediately.

Bezos looked at Feng Yiping blankly, "That's right. Of course, our friends' wish lists may also be recommended by us based on his historical data."

"Feng, how come you are so clear about this issue? Have you ever thought about similar issues?"

"Please, is this a difficult question to understand?" Feng Yiping said, "But why do I feel that this is not good news either? Is this a sign that you intend to get involved in the social field?"

"Why, is the famous Mr. Feng still worried that we will compete with you in the social field after having a successful product like Facebook?"

"I just think, why are there so many people coveting the fields we are involved in?" Feng Yiping said.

"That's because you have a very good vision, and the fields you are involved in are the fields with the most development prospects in the future," Bezos said. "Don't you have been involved in other fields? It seems that you launched NEXTDOOR Group buying is not like getting involved in e-commerce,”

"Also, from what you said, I think the cooperation we proposed also provides Facebook with an opportunity to enter e-commerce, right?"

"Haha," Feng Yiping stood up, "We will discuss future issues in the future. Your proposal is very good. As long as the price is right, Facebook will naturally do it. Now, let me take you around the park,"

"Tonight, you have put aside all other arrangements. I will treat you to dinner at Mantingfang," he said without any doubt. "I still have a lot of questions. It's a rare time for you to come here. I still have a lot of questions. I want to talk to you." You explore,"
