Chapter 1594: Regretful Santos

Feng Yu flew to Seattle after watching the second game. This time I came here not only to inspect the companies here, but also to bring the local tyrants back to China.

When he got up in the morning, Feng Yu was wearing a tracksuit and took the local tyrant out for a walk. The local tyrant was obviously very happy to see Feng Yu's return. He lay at the door of Feng Yu's room early in the morning, waiting for Feng Yu to take him out.

When Feng Yu led the local tyrant for a leisurely walk in the community, as usual, there were some "passerby" bodyguards hidden in front, back, left, and right. Over the past few years, many residents in the community have changed.

For example, the two former basketball stars in Seattle both went to other teams, so the house was also sold. In recent years, the real estate industry in the United States has also been relatively developed, so their houses have also made money.

Just as he was going back, Feng Yu seemed to see an acquaintance. The man was also taken aback when he saw Feng Yu, and then quickly walked over to say hello: "Mr. Feng, you are back."

Feng Yu nodded: "Uh~~ you are?" Feng Yu just looked familiar, but didn't remember who this was.

The other party was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Feng, you bought Amazon shares from me before." When he said this, the other party's tone was still a little resentful.

At the beginning, Feng Yu's price was definitely very high, and he was very satisfied when he sold it.

But who would have thought that Amazon has developed so well, much better than what Jeff Bezos described to them before.

At the beginning, a small company like Amazon was still playing in the emerging online business. He could not follow the trend to make money in the stock market because it was not listed. After selling to Feng Yu, he invested the money in the stock market.

At the beginning, Internet technology companies really made a lot of money. At that time, his net worth also skyrocketed, and he once thought that it was a very wise decision for him to sell the shares of Amazon, because Amazon was still in a state of loss at that time.

But soon, the Internet bubble came, and his stock lost a lot of money. Although he broke his wrist in time, allowing him to fish out his capital, his net worth has shrunk by nine tenths.

In the next two or three years, the economy of the United States has not been very good, and the stock market has been falling in fluctuations, but Amazon has turned against the market and made profits at this time.

When the Internet companies were losing money, Amazon was profitable, which made him regret it.

However, considering that Amazon's profits are not particularly high, he didn't care too much about it. He invested the funds in other industries. Although he didn't make a lot of money, he also made good profits.

However, in recent years, Amazon’s profit scale has risen by leaps and bounds. In 2002, the annual profit was less than 10 million U.S. dollars, but in 2003, the annual profit soared to 100 million U.S. dollars, and in 2004 it became Four hundred million dollars.

Then Amazon went public for financing and expanded to most countries and regions around the world. Not only did the company's market value soar to tens of billions of dollars, but last year's net profit exceeded one billion dollars!

And this year, in the first quarter alone, Amazon's profit exceeded 400 million US dollars, and it is said that it will increase in the second quarter, and its annual profit is expected to exceed 1.8 billion US dollars.

It's pure profit!

If he hadn't sold Amazon's stock at the beginning, but had accepted dilution like Bezos and continued to work at Amazon, his stock would have been worth hundreds of millions of dollars now, not counting Amazon's dividends to shareholders Woolen cloth!

The investment of the money he took away at the beginning has not even earned 10 million U.S. dollars. Only then did he feel deeply regretful, and couldn't sleep several times at night.

Because of this incident, his wife kept scolding him, which caused the two to quarrel frequently, and finally divorced sadly. He not only divided a large sum of property to his wife, but also paid child support.

Fortunately, his own small company is doing well, which gives him some comfort.

Seeing Feng Yu today, he couldn't help coming over to say hello. Even hopefully, if possible, he'd like to go back to the Amazon.

Being a top 10 shareholder in Amazon is no longer the way it used to be,

But he thinks that with his own ability, he is still qualified to be an executive. This also earns stock awards and allows him to sleep well at night.

Hearing what the other party said, Feng Yu tapped his head... still couldn't remember the other party's name.

In the beginning, Feng Yu met these people a few times, and later he asked Ralph to be responsible for the acquisition, so Feng Yu had an impression of him, but not deeply.

Feng Yu acted as if he remembered: "Oh, it's you. Looking at you, it seems that life is not bad. You are going to work, so I won't bother you."

"Mr. Feng, I'm Santos, Sigma Santos. Is Mr. Feng going to Amazon when he comes back this time?"

Feng Yu also saw that this Santos had something to say. Thinking about how he could have become a rich man, but now it seems that he is living a good life, Feng Yu decided to hear what's going on with him.

Of course, Feng Yu will not feel sorry for this. Feng Yu didn't use any illegal means to invest in the business field, and the stocks were bought with real money.

When I bought Amazon stock, I spent a lot of money at that time, and the premium was so much.

"Today I'm going to Amazon to see, do you have something to do?"

"Mr. Feng, it's like this. I also run a company, but compared with Amazon, it is a company that cannot be smaller. When Bezos founded Amazon, I was very supportive. And I was in the company's In terms of management, I also have good experience.”

"I don't know if Amazon will give me a chance, or Mr. Feng will give me a chance to return to work at Amazon." Santos looked at Feng Yu expectantly.

"Don't worry, I'll go home soon." Feng Yu comforted the local tycoon who was in a hurry to go home, and then looked at Santos: "I don't care much about the Amazon. I will leave the specific matters to Bezos Theirs. You come to convince me, why don’t you try to convince Bezos. I still have something to do, so I’m leaving first.”

Santos watched Feng Yu leave with a look of disappointment. Why didn't he try to persuade Bezos, but Bezos was very angry at his betrayal and didn't want to talk to him at all.

It seems that he has no hope of returning to the Amazon in this life. Let's run his own real estate brokerage company honestly. Now that the real estate industry is so good, he can still make a lot of money.

If Feng Yu knew that Santos was in the real estate business, he would definitely give him some advice, such as thinking about changing careers next year.

It's a pity that Santos didn't say anything, and Feng Yu naturally wouldn't ask. Santos didn't know that he missed a good opportunity again because of this, and this time, his career suffered a heavier blow!
