Chapter 2496: Another Victory

Feng Yiping expected that the communication with Bezos would be difficult, but he didn't expect that it would be so difficult from the beginning.

And from Bezos' tone, he obviously had been brooding over this matter for a long time, and he was very restrained for not calling to complain.

Perhaps, this was also a major reason why he didn't come to the Android conference.

However, Feng Yiping always felt that there was a kind of Qing Dynasty harem style in his words, but everyone was obviously the master of urinating three feet in the wind, and it was very uncomfortable to suddenly make him so sad.

Personally, he admired Bezos.

His original understanding of Amazon and Bezos came mainly from the domestic company that almost used Amazon as a template and imitated Amazon step by step.

The follow-up of that company just highlighted Amazon's leadership position, that is, Amazon's achievements in innovation.

And since he really came into contact with Amazon and Bezos, he found that the reason why that guy's hair was getting thinner and thinner was really deserved.

To make a simple comparison, Ma is a person who likes to tinker around, but Ma's tinkering is still limited to one circle, while Bezos's tinkering is truly cross-circle, especially his investment in smart hardware, such as the current kindle, and various cutting-edge technologies.

If we say that his development of kindle is still related to his original main business - after all, he was a book seller at the beginning.

He later made tablets and mobile phones, which can also be said to be following Apple's trend.

But according to general reason, plans like unmanned supermarkets should be proposed by convenience store giants like Feng Yiping who have a huge number of offline stores, rather than by an e-commerce company like him.

And, generally speaking, in the field of cloud computing, it is not the turn of e-commerce companies like him to be the best. Logically, shouldn't companies like Google and Microsoft be the best?

Also, like Musk, he also invested in an aerospace company that produces spacecrafts...

Many things that Ma did were related to e-commerce, while many things that Bezos did were really not very related to e-commerce, but he still concentrated a lot of resources on it without hesitation, and the result was very good, and in turn, it really added points to the e-commerce business...

This is really a guy who knows how to play! This is really a very smart guy!

Of course, he is also inevitably a very shrewd guy.

So, if his hair doesn't fall, whose hair will fall?

But even if he had a good impression of him, when setting up that fund, Feng Yiping really didn't think of him at all.

Frankly speaking, the relationship between Bezos and him, let alone compared with Page Brin, is far behind that of Jobs. In Feng Yiping's mind, at least for now, he is not the kind of partner who can make money secretly together.

In addition, in terms of influence, in the American business world, Bezos' current influence is also not comparable to Page Brin or Jobs. Therefore, Feng Yiping had thought of Bill Gates as a replacement, but not him...

But with Bezos so concerned, it is obviously not easy to mention such a reason to him. My relationship with you is not yet hot, and you are not qualified?

How can you say that?

Feng Yiping was a little annoyed at this time. I want to hide something. Is it so difficult?

How come so many people know about the fund now?

"Bezos, to be honest, I once hoped to absorb you as well. I really like you, man, because I know that we have a lot in common..."

Bezos immediately interrupted Feng Yiping without hesitation, "Really, for example?"

This, Feng Yiping was really speechless, brother, clichés, clichés, do you understand?

You have been in the business world for so many years, you should not not understand!

Despite this, he immediately came up with a very good answer while complaining in his heart, "Look, I also like to wash dishes at home, and those three obviously won't do such a thing at home."

This time, it was Bezos' turn to be speechless.

He had said more than once that he loved to wash dishes at home on various occasions, but he didn't expect Feng Yiping to use it here.

You are so right, I really have nothing to say.

Hearing him shut up, Feng Yiping quickly continued to say his own opinion, "But, you know, professional decision-making involves many aspects,"

"And my personal opinion cannot determine the final result,"-he once again let Page Brin and Jobs take the blame for him.

"At the same time, we must also consider some other realistic factors. For example, if I said to you at this time last year, Bezos, even if you prepare a billion dollars of funds, what would your answer be?"

"I think it is probably that you should get out of here as far as the horizon is, right?"

Although he was not satisfied with Feng Yiping's answer, Bezos could not give any other answer to Feng Yiping's question at this time.

At the end of last year, if Feng Yiping had proposed that to him, he might have really said that.

Seeing that there was no objection from the other side, Feng Yiping breathed a sigh of relief, which at least showed that he could accept his explanation to some extent.

"So you see, this time, I came here to strengthen our cooperation and promote our understanding,"

"I believe that if we can reach an agreement on the issues I mentioned this time, then we will be able to reach an agreement next time when we encounter similar investment opportunities,"

Bezos chewed on Feng Yiping’s words.

Frankly speaking, he did have some opinions when he knew about that fund, especially when he knew about the returns that that fund might bring.

Obviously, the three people Feng Yiping brought with him to make a lot of money were his most valued good partners.

As for me, I am just a passerby who says that I follow the investment and never hear similar news at all.

However, after analyzing the reasons, he also felt that Feng Yiping's actions were not unreasonable.

He is one of the major shareholders of Google. The two people at Google and he are advancing and retreating together on many issues.

He also has a deep relationship with Steve Jobs and Apple. He was hired by Steve Jobs as a special consultant very early. Apple is now also a very important customer of his Chinese company...

Bezos also knows that in terms of popularity and influence in the American business community, he is currently far inferior to those three.

Feng Yiping is right. It is indeed not easy to attract people all over the world for such things. People who know and trust each other very well are the best candidates. If it were Feng Yiping, he would probably do the same thing as him. Same choice.

So at this time, he turned his chair again, turned back to face his computer, and already picked up a pen in his hand, "I have a few minutes now to listen to what you want to say,"

Feng Yiping naturally explained his purpose of coming immediately, "That's right, for some reasons..."

He spent a few minutes briefly introducing the situation.

But for a long time after saying it, there was no response from Bezos. Do you really disagree with this proposal at all?

"Hey Bezos, are you still there?"

"Oh," Bezos finally squeaked. He looked at the ball he had subconsciously drawn on the paper and couldn't help but confirm it. "That is to say, you asked Black Rock and Fidelity to agree to transfer some of their The shares of the company I hold are given to you?”

Is this your main concern? "Yes, that's what happened," Feng Yiping said.

"It turns out that this is what Lawrence Fink and Edward Johnson talked to you at Android's celebration party that day. No wonder everyone saw that their faces were so bad,"

The vice president who was present at the time mentioned this to him, but didn't quite know the reason. Only now did he understand what was going on.

"I have to let them know that if you do something, you have to pay the price," Feng Yiping said.

Bezos felt Feng Yiping's domineering power.

"So, regarding my transfer of part of the Amazon shares they hold..."

"Feng, you know, because your company is also involved in the field of e-commerce, so we are now rivals, oh no, we have been rivals for a long time. In the Chinese market, you are merciless to us, so... "

This question of his was also asked by Steve Jobs yesterday.

"Bezos, first of all, I think the e-commerce market is big enough. Whether it is in China, the United States, or other markets, it can fully accommodate several companies of yours and mine,"

"If we really want to fight to the death, that would be very stupid behavior,"

"Secondly, we must always understand where our biggest competitor is,"

"Look, whether it's in China or the United States, how much of the entire consumer market does e-commerce sales account for? They're both pitifully small at the moment, right?"

"Finally, yes, even as a competitor, I am optimistic about the development of Amazon led by you,"

"I believe that just like my e-commerce company will become the largest e-commerce company in China, Amazon will also become the largest e-commerce company in the United States,"

This is just to support him.

Of course, Feng Yiping is indeed very optimistic about Amazon even though Bezos is so capable.

But Bezos still kind of likes hearing this.

Although he firmly believes that the company he founded will be the most successful e-commerce company in the world, you must know that in the United States, there is still a gap between Amazon and eBay.

The most criticized issue of Amazon is profitability.

If you don't make a profit for many years, you will make a profit, but it will just not make a loss.

"In principle, I personally have no objection to you holding more than 3% of Amazon's shares. I very much welcome investors like you,"

Although he spoke very strictly and only spoke about himself, his attitude was quite clear.

"It's just Feng, do you think it's a bit unfair that only you can invest in my company, but I can't invest in yours?"
