Chapter 1435 Bezos Meets Sir Yang!
He wanted to contact Empire Group's venture capital company in Silicon Valley, but he didn't expect that the staff of Empire Group would come to him in person.
This made Bezos not sure whether he was happy or something else.
"Hello."
Bezos hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake hands with the Chinese man.
"Mr. Bezos, it's like this, our boss wants to meet you."
"Your boss?"
At first, Bezos thought it was the boss of the Chinese employee.
"Sir Yang, chairman of Empire Group."
Sir Yang wants to see him?
Bezos was shocked again.
At this time, Bezos was not well-known. He just took out $100,000 to start this company last year. Although in this era, being able to take out $100,000 is considered amazing.
However, compared with the huge Empire Group, it is really unimaginable.
As for this Sir Yang?
Since the late 1970s, when he was only in his teens, Sir Yang has been famous and has been on Time magazine many times, becoming one of the most famous business tycoons of this era.
"Sir Yang came to Seattle?" Bezos asked again in surprise.
"No, our boss is in Hong Kong, and he wants to see you there."
It turned out to be in Hong Kong.
He thought Sir Yang had come to Country M.
Last time, he knew that Sir Yang had been in Country M for a while, but he had no chance to see him at all.
"When are you going to see Sir Yang?" Bezos asked hurriedly again.
"As soon as possible."
"Then I'll pack up now, and then go to the airport with you to take a plane to Hong Kong."
Bezos didn't want to give up such an opportunity.
He knew that now Apple and Oracle have become one of the largest companies in the world under the investment expenditure of the Empire Group.
Bezos also hopes to get the support of Sir Yang.
Especially now that he founded an online bookstore, it consumes a lot of funds.
Although he can now lobby some consortiums to give him financing through the plan book, it is not easy to get financing funds from other consortiums or venture companies.
The most important thing is that Bezos doesn't want to lose such a good opportunity.
When Bezos packed up.
An hour later.
Bezos and the Chinese man took a car to Seattle International Airport.
Because there is no direct flight from Seattle to Hong Kong, they can only transfer to San Francisco or Los Angeles, or even Incheon, or Narita Airport to fly to Hong Kong.
However, for Bezos and the Chinese man, although they need to transfer, it is okay.
. . .
Hong Kong New International Airport.
When the family transferred from Seattle International Airport to San Francisco International Airport, and then from San Francisco International Airport to Hong Kong New International Airport, Bezos had been on the plane for more than ten hours when they landed safely here.
Although the sitting time was a bit long and a bit tiring, Bezos was still very excited now.
Because he knew that he was about to meet Sir Yang, the chairman of the Empire Group.
When Bezos and the Chinese man got off the plane and walked out of the passage.
The Chinese staff took Bezos to a taxi.
In the taxi, Bezos looked outside curiously.
In this era, Hong Kong is definitely one of the most prosperous cities in the world.
With the emergence of Yang Ming and Empire Group, Hong Kong has now completely established its position in global international finance, the Internet, etc., and Hong Kong is more prosperous than before.
Moreover, after the development of Lantau Island and the land reclamation near Lantau Island, the available area of Hong Kong has expanded even more.
"Mr. Bezos, this is Lantau Island. After being bombed, it has now become one of the new prosperous areas in Hong Kong."
Lantau Island can be said to be the headquarters of the Empire Group, which has invested a lot of money.
In addition, many new talents have entered Hong Kong and now live on Lantau Island.
The land reclamation areas near Lantau Island are more of the houses provided by the Empire Group to the low-income class in Hong Kong.
Now it looks like all of them are high-rise buildings.
However, these high-rise buildings are for the low-income class in Hong Kong to live in, not commercial housing.
Bezos looked at these buildings in shock. When he learned that they were provided by the Empire Group to the low-income class in Hong Kong, he didn't know what to say.
. . .
More than an hour later
This taxi stopped at the entrance of the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa.
The taxi driver was a little surprised that these two people were here to see Sir Yang.
After the other party got the fare and left.
Bezos asked: "Is this where Sir Yang lives?"
"Yes, it is where our boss lives."
Although this is only a part of Repulse Bay.
However, everyone in Hong Kong knows that Sir Yang lives here.
And this place has now been developed into a small town with many buildings.
When the Chinese staff rang the doorbell outside the door.
After a while, Lin Dezhong came out to open the door, and he already knew who was coming.
Lin Dezhong took the two people in.
Sat down in the garden and asked the maid to bring them morning tea.
"Boss, Mr. Bezos is here."
Lin Dezhong has seen these white people so many times that he is no longer surprised by them coming.
However, Lin Dezhong may not know that the white man Bezos he just met was the richest man in the United States and one of the richest men in the world in Yang Ming's previous life.
If it weren't for his divorce from his wife, it's unknown how long he would have maintained his position as the richest man.
Yang Ming and Guan Jiahui came down from upstairs.
He had already seen Bezos, a white man in his early thirties with thick hair.
"Mr. Bezos, this is our boss Sir Yang."
The Chinese staff member next to him said.
"Hello Sir Yang, I have seen your reports on TV and newspapers before." Bezos stood up and shook hands with Yang Ming with some excitement.
At this time, Yang Ming was in the United States. Even Buffett, a stock god, had a different look when he saw him, not to mention Bezos, who had not yet made a fortune.
Yang Ming knew that Bezos was not from Youtai, but his situation was somewhat similar to that of Jobs.
Bezos' childhood was not happy. He was born in a poor family. His father was a vagrant who drank all day and was also a domestic abuser.
When he was less than three years old, his parents divorced and his mother lived with him alone.
For a long time, their lives were always very difficult.
When Bezos was a child, he had poor food and clothing and was often bullied by other children. This experience made him realize the importance of money. In order to change this situation, he had a desire to make money since he was a child.
During Bezos's growth, he met his stepfather. His stepfather was very good to him, treated him as his own son, and always supported and encouraged his career.
From this point of view, Bezos' childhood experience is indeed somewhat similar to that of Jobs.
One was supported by his stepfather.
The other was supported by his adoptive father.
In the end, both were very successful and became the most important technology giants and influential giants in Yang Ming's previous life.
