Chapter 2273 Unwanted Growth

"I have to say that I didn't eat such delicious Chinese food the last time I went to China," Bezos put down his fork and said with a smile.

"Because this is made in my restaurant, it naturally tastes the best," Feng Yiping said with a smile, "Why don't you go to China again? Believe me, as long as you slow down, you can find more delicious and fun things in China,"

The last time they went to China with Feng Yiping, the schedule was very tight. They walked and met all the way. Except for the last lunch at Wuli'ao, they also had talks while eating in the other days.

Although the table was always filled with the most representative delicacies from all over the country, how much thought did they put on the delicacies?

"Give me a reason," Bezos looked at Feng Yiping and said, "Is it because our business in China has developed very well, so I have to commend their work achievements?"

"Or is it because our business in China has found the right direction. If we stick to it, we will take a large market from you, so I need to go to China to encourage them?"

Feng Yiping could only laugh twice again.

Amazon and eBay, the two enemies in the United States, can be said to be a pair of brothers in distress in China.

Amazon's business in China has certainly not developed very well, and it doesn't seem to have found the right direction.

"I think it's fine whether it's a commendation or encouragement," Feng Yiping said, "Besides, if you go to China, you may find more investment opportunities."

"Don't mention e-commerce," Bezos didn't want to talk about such sad things. He looked outside, "What a great place!"

It was the peak time for seats in the evening, and it was the best season. The garden was full of green trees and flowers. From this commanding height, you can see customers who have finished their meals or are still waiting for a table, chatting and strolling in groups of three or two under the corridors, in the pavilions, next to the palace lanterns, and by the small lake.

In the United States, it is rare to be able to walk so relaxed and freely in a place that is more beautiful than many parks on such an evening.

If you don't believe it, go to any park at this time and try it. If you are only shot once, you will be lucky.

"It will open to your place sooner or later," Feng Yiping said, "In the future, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicious food beside Lake Washington."

"Want to invest?" Bezos asked immediately, "Although your restaurant requires a large investment, the return must be very high."

"If I am short of money, I will definitely find you," Feng Yiping said with a smile.

Bezos felt that it was not a good day to talk any more.

Feng Yiping is richer than him now. Look at all the companies he has in the United States, NEXTDOOR, Facebook, YouTube, Marvel, Netflix... and Google, of which he is the third largest shareholder.

If most of his unlisted companies go public in the future, he will only be richer than himself.

So he is short of money?

"Thank you for your confidence in Amazon," he said.

In the future, if he wants to be richer than Feng Yiping, the only way is that Amazon's market value is higher than his current imagination.

"By the way, how is your main task in Silicon Valley going?" Feng Yiping began to ask indirectly.

"Overall, it's still very good," Bezos said.

It seems that their Kindle research and development process is very smooth.

Feng Yiping was really a little envious. Amazon turned out to be a successful hardware company.

Of course, if he remembered correctly, Amazon, which attracted Google to follow suit in the field of smart hardware, had also failed before. Their mobile phone project failed miserably.

"It's just that our relationship with some friendly companies may not be very pleasant,"

He said this very obscurely, even a little nonsense.

But Feng Yiping knew exactly what he meant.

In other words, the development of Kindle was very smooth, but he also knew that after the launch of Kindle, it would inevitably lead to a feud with Apple.

Because although it was also on the development schedule at this time, Apple's iPad still had many problems that needed to be solved urgently, and Amazon actually made a hardware that looked more like a Pad than a smartphone.

Jobs was never a good-tempered guy. After hearing such news, even if Apple and Amazon are now cooperating well, don't expect him to have any positive reaction.

And this aspect happened to be what Feng Yiping wanted to inquire about.

The development of Android has officially entered its final stage. Rubin repeatedly assured Feng Yiping that it would be officially launched in the next quarter.

Feng Yiping knew very well that it would be news that would make Jobs furious.

Although he had made many preparations, including the fund specially established to make use of the subprime mortgage crisis, he felt that it was still not safe.

Jobs' destructive power must not be underestimated, and even if everything goes well, Comrade Obama will not be able to take office until the year after next. Before that, if Jobs takes any action against Feng Yiping's company because of Android, it will be a more difficult matter.

The reason why he is developing smoothly in the United States now is not only because of his hard work, but also because his company has no strong competitors in the United States.

We know that because of the lobbyist system, the United States is a country where money and power are very closely linked. If a well-known American company like Apple, which is powerful and prestigious, wants to make trouble with Feng Yiping, it will be a big trouble.

"Why, is it related to the business scope of a friendly competitor again? This is no big deal, right? You see, now Amazon is following us step by step in many aspects, and on the other hand, it is tit-for-tat. What did I say and what did I do?" Feng Yiping smiled and spread his hands.

"You are definitely not as weak as you say. I also believe that you have been fully prepared for these competitions. I believe that, for example, your Facebook must also be preparing to get involved in the e-commerce field," Bezos said.

"Look, I said, you are so tit-for-tat even when you talk," Feng Yiping pointed at him and said.

"But you don't often worry about gains and losses like this. Is this friendly competitor special, or is this friendly competitor not as good-tempered as me, so you are a little worried?" He asked further.

"I'm not worried about gains and losses," Bezos picked up the wine glass and swung it gently, "I just feel a little pity at most,"

"This will not affect my plan at all. We will definitely push forward the things we have decided, even if we face big troubles,"

His words made Feng Yiping firm.

He was really worried about gains and losses, which is not to say that he is not as firm as Bezos, or afraid of difficulties.

He just always values ​​feelings - Jin Ling repeatedly told him that this is his biggest weakness.

So, he still cherishes the cooperation with Apple and the good personal relationship with Jobs, and does not want such a situation to be broken because of some things.

All along, because of his unique advantages, making money is not difficult for him, so he hopes to make money and not make some ugly situations because of making money.

If it were not for the fact that he was only engaged in the financial industry, he could not lead his hometown people to live a good life, and he could not change the poor and backward appearance of Wuli'ao, he would not even want to do industry.

How nice it would be to quietly trade stocks and futures in the international market?

He can still make a lot of money, and it is difficult to have any competitors.

This has something to do with the teachings of his family since he was a child, to be moderate, not to be too far forward or too far back, to follow the crowd, not to be too left or right.

It is also related to his previous experience.

Before his rebirth, as a middle-aged man with old and young parents, he believed that harmony brings wealth, and he was afraid of disputes.

If you look at it from the bottom of his heart, he actually doesn't want to become a cold businessman who only cares about profits.

Although he knows that in many ways, it is the right thing to do. As a businessman, he should only focus on efficiency, and in many cases, even family affection should be thrown aside without hesitation.

But he has always been very resistant to such growth, and he doesn't want to take that step from the bottom of his heart.

However, life is always inevitable. There will be all kinds of helplessness.

After listening to Bezos' words, although he still doesn't want to make such a change now, he has made psychological preparations to take that step at the right time.

The worst case scenario, if it can be avoided, is naturally the best. If it cannot be avoided, then no mercy will be given and all means will be used.

He can probably imagine how destructive he will be if he really becomes cold-hearted - I hope that day will never come.

"Bezos, I have to toast you," he raised his glass.

Bezos clinked his glasses with him, "Welcome to Seattle,"

"I really want to see the progress you have made in smart retail, but it is really difficult to arrange time in the near future," Feng Yiping said.

"I mean, it is time to renegotiate the terms of cooperation between Amazon and Coin Star," Bezos wanted to say, which was completely different from what he thought.

"The suggestions you gave me at the beginning were indeed unique, but I think that over the past few years, Amazon's concessions to Coin Star have already fully demonstrated the value of those suggestions,"

What Bezos said does make sense.

Because Feng Yiping's one suggestion was exchanged for a one-point discount from Bezos, and among the partner companies of Coin Star's coin exchange activity, Amazon's conditions were indeed the best conditions that Coin Star had obtained.

Feng Yiping was about to speak, but suddenly thought of something. Wait, this is so fast to provide me with a practical opportunity to be ruthless and only consider benefits?

I have to give it a try.

Want me to make less money, hum, not to mention the door, not even the window.

"I don't think so. Can those suggestions at the beginning bring benefits to Amazon in many aspects now? So, such a rude and almost shameless request, are you really willing to make it?"

Bezos was stunned for a moment. Why did he suddenly become sharp?
