Chapter 2497: Equally Matched (for the Leader Sidney Liu)

"Since it is a cooperation, it should be mutual, what do you think?"

This guy is calculating so well at this moment!

But, why must we exchange? Why must we make the cooperative relationship so vulgar?

Why can't we be more detached? More pure?

"Bezos, why do I feel like I am sending myself to you for your disposal?"

"Haha," the other side laughed complacently.

Feng Yiping was also laughing in his heart, "In this way, when Facebook accepts investment in the future, you or Amazon will definitely be the first batch,"

"Uh," Bezos's laughter stopped abruptly, "In the future? Isn't it now?"

Hehe, "Yes, in the future, to be precise, it should be before Facebook is ready to go public,"

"Because, you know, we are actually not short of money. If it weren't for going public, we really wouldn't need to accept investment,"

Just like Lawrence Fink and Edward John, Bezos, of course, hopes to invest in Facebook now, because Facebook's valuation is low at this time, and investment is more cost-effective.

But how could Feng Yiping not understand their calculations, and how could he fulfill their wishes?

Not only do you have to sell some shares, but you also want me to sell them at a price so low that it makes you bleed. What a good thing!

Bezos was even more upset after hearing this. From the time he started his business to now, the thing he felt most deeply was the lack of money, all kinds of lack of money, and because of the lack of money, he had to attract investment everywhere. After attracting investment, he had all kinds of battles of wits and courage with investors, all kinds of entanglements...

Some of these things, even if they are recalled now after many years, still make him feel a headache.

Even now, the dispute between him and investors still cannot be settled.

The biggest disagreement is about profitability. For him, it is not important for Amazon to be profitable now, because now is the time to invest heavily to lay a solid foundation for future profitability.

But many investors obviously don’t think so. They have supported you for so many years, and you still don’t give me profits?

If it weren’t for the fact that Amazon’s stock price performance was not bad, if he still insisted on his own opinion, then it would be hard to say whether the Amazon he founded would still belong to him, and whether he would still sit in this chair now.

The expulsion of founders who disobeyed investors is not news anymore.

So, for companies with the same amount of investment as Facebook, which entrepreneur can be like Feng Yiping, who has no pressure to raise funds and no pressure from investors?

And how many companies can accept some investment before they are ready to go public, as he said?

If you still feel wronged, then we must feel wronged to death?

He felt that if Feng Yiping, who said these words, was in front of him at this moment, he really couldn't guarantee that he would not suddenly lose control...

He wanted to say something, but the words were on his lips, but in the end they disappeared without a trace. Why should he be reminded?

I hope he will make such remarks in more places. Will he be spitted to death when he sees them, or be smashed to death by iPhones and Blackberries...

So, he didn't want to say anything else at this time, except for one thing, "But do you think this is a bit unequal?"

I really want to know, where is the inequality in this? Your Amazon has been listed for many years, okay?

But Feng Yiping knew that this was just Bezos's habit of calculating and cutting off the flesh from the mosquito's leg. "Then tell me, what else should I do?"

"I will do whatever you say, okay?"

No wonder the old saying often says that the principles of many things are the same. For example, what is the difference between the bargaining process between him and Bezos and girls buying clothes at Dongpi or mothers buying vegetables at the farmer's market?

Bezos could hear the emotion in Feng Yiping's words, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He was serious about haggling!

"In this way, I have no other requirements. You have seen Kindle, so you can give it some suggestions."

Of course, he would not forget how much help Feng Yiping had given him in order to reach relevant cooperation with him before, which provided him and Amazon.

This is also one of the reasons why he has a good relationship with Feng Yiping and does not object to Feng Yiping becoming a major shareholder of his company.

"I have to think about this," Feng Yiping said.

Think about it, and your opinions will be more insightful. "Okay, think about it more..."

"But, I say, first of all, don't you have to provide me with a few prototypes?" Feng Yiping interrupted Bezos.

Bezos was stunned, "You don't have any?"

"I just don't have any," Feng Yiping said.

He looked to the side, and there was a machine on the coffee table that hadn't even been unpacked.

"You also know how busy I am recently. Besides, I know that before the release, you took the kindle to ask Jobs for his opinion, but you didn't ask me for my opinion, so when I heard about the kindle, all the goods had already been sold out,"

Listening to Feng Yiping's words, Bezos felt for no reason, wait, this faint sour words, why is it so familiar? Have I heard it somewhere?

"Okay, I'll ask them to send you two right away,"

"No matter how two units are enough, it must be at least ten," Feng Yiping said.

You see, letting Vincent be used as a building block or as a gift is not good at all. When you want to eat instant noodles, it is not bad to use it to cover the instant noodles.

Even if you just put it somewhere to catch the ashes!

In short, if there is an opportunity to make Bezos bleed, he will never let it go easily.

When Bezos heard this, he was silent for a while. He really wanted to say, I have never seen such a shameless person.

He patted the table and said, "I'll ask them to send you ten more."

"Then I'll wait, but can I first say that I can't stand just looking at pictures?"

Bezos picked up the pen again, "You said,"

"I just can't figure it out, what is that scroll wheel down there? This is an e-book, right? It's not a game console. Don't you think it's ugly with such a big scroll wheel?"

"I know it should be used to turn pages, but now there is no better choice. Use Android. With the support of Android, you can turn pages with just a swipe of your finger. How classic and beautiful. Yes or no?"

The pen in Bezos' hand pierced another piece of paper. Are you giving me advice, or are you promoting your Android?

"Thank you, but I think I'd better wait for your written proposal. Goodbye!" He hung up the phone with a bang.

This guy, this guy, this guy really has no lower limit and always gives people headaches.

He threw the wasted pieces of paper into the trash can, shook his head, and suddenly couldn't help laughing again.

That guy still has this ability. He may make you angry, but it is difficult for you to really hate him or dislike him.

In Silicon Valley, Feng Yiping put down the phone, shook his head, and smiled, haha, really, two people with a combined sixty or seventy years old and a net worth of tens of billions, how could they be so childish and stingy on the phone?

Bezos is really an extremely stingy person, but many times, you will admire him precisely because of his stingy things.

Let’s talk about their tradition of using door panels as desks.

But the effect of this phone call was quite good. Well, it happened to solve the problem of what gifts to give Xiao Zhijie and Wang Changning next. Not bad!

He looked at the list on the computer. It should be said that after he took care of Apple and Amazon himself, he didn't need to worry about the rest.

His company has no competition with the remaining companies, and those companies are generally very happy for people like him to invest in them.

So, wow, I can really relax for a while.

…………

YouTube, Marling was in Randolph's office, answering Hastings' call together, "...Although this movie is not for the box office, although with Google's sponsorship and the approximate box office revenue after the release, the movie's The financial performance should be good, but of course it would be better if the box office revenue could be higher, so we hope to get the full support of YouTube,"

What he was talking about was "The Long Road Home", which is finally going to be released.

"No problem Hastings, don't worry, we will definitely design the best promotion plan for this movie,"

"I'm sorry," Ma Ling looked at the caller ID on her phone and walked gently to the door, "What's wrong?"

The man on the phone said, "I feel empty, lonely, and cold right now."

Ma Ling was a little dumbfounded. This is really more coquettish than Vincent is now...
