Chapter 772: Jeff

Ralph frowned as he looked at the documents in his hand. ~~щww~suimеng~lā Why does the boss pay attention to such a company, a company that sells books on the Internet, it can't be connected with the Internet, is it an emerging industry? Is there any potential for this?

But the boss's decision was right. Although he didn't understand, he still sorted out the materials and sent them to Feng Yu immediately.

Feng Yu looked at the information in his hand. Amazon was registered in Washington State last year, but in July this year, it changed its name and opened again. It is an online company specializing in book sales.

This company is not big, and since it was founded last year, it has not made any profit for such a long time!

Feng Yu is even happier. If there is no profit, it will not be too difficult for him to inject capital into Amazon or acquire shares from other shareholders.

Amazon’s model is actually not difficult. The difficult thing is to survive this difficult period. If you are not careful, you will fail in the dot-com bubble around the millennium. bankrupted. Even Yahoo, which was once a giant, has shrunk by 90% of its assets.

"Ralph, call this Mr. Jeff and make an appointment. I'm going to visit him." Feng Yu said excitedly.

Ralph went to make arrangements at once, but was still at a loss. He also investigated that Jeff Bezos. It seems that he was a shareholder executive of a fund trading management company. Could it be that the boss wants to recruit this person?

That's not right, the boss was interested in this online bookstore first, did he want to invest in this company? Who will buy books online? How good it is to go directly to the bookstore to buy! Why can't he see any profit in this company?

...

Jeff Bezos is arguing with an investor who thinks his business plan is too conservative to make money. We should use the Internet concept that is now being hyped, find a way to raise funds and go public, and then sell the company to make money while the stock is soaring.

Jeff immediately objected, this is a company he founded, how can he sell it casually? Besides, he wants to run the company well, what happened to the safe plan?

Now those who are hyping up the concept of the Internet do see a surge in stock prices for the time being, but that is all false prosperity, and it will collapse sooner or later. His safe route can actually reduce the company's risks to a minimum, which is the longest-term business strategy.

These unscrupulous investors know how to make money, but they don't even know what a dream is! Even if it's for making money, shouldn't it only focus on the immediate interests, don't you know if you look to the future?

Why were you blind in the first place?

Find these people to invest. He doesn't understand the Internet or business at all, so come and tell him what to do! Even in terms of investment, are you better than me? I also have a background in finance!

"Mr. Jeff, your caller claims to be the secretary of a director of Microsoft." Jeff's secretary ran over and shouted.

What? The secretary of the director of Microsoft called me? Jeff is overjoyed, if he can convince Microsoft's directors to invest in him, he will kick all these damned greedy investors away!

Jeff immediately went to answer the phone: "Hi, I'm Jeff Bezos, who are you?"

"I'm Ralph, the secretary of Director Feng of Microsoft, and my boss wants to see you."

"Okay, when Mr. Feng has time, I can visit him at any time." Jeff said quickly.

"No, what my boss means is that he wants to visit you, or say, visit your company by the way, do you understand what I mean?"

Jeff held back his ecstasy. It was very clear what this meant. Director Feng of Microsoft had his eye on his company!

"I welcome Mr. Feng to come over anytime, I'm free any time."

"To-morrow morning, then?" asked Ralph.

"No problem, I will be waiting for Mr. Feng at the company all day tomorrow."

Jeff hung up the phone and turned to look at the shareholder who had just quarreled with him: "Aren't you going to sell your shares? Well, I'll buy your shares!"

With the capital injection of Microsoft's directors, the company's development will inevitably be smooth sailing. Now he can sell the house, sell the stocks of other companies in his hand, and invest all in Amazon. He firmly believes that Amazon will develop very well!

The small shareholder was also confused. Could it be that Jeff received a call from the director of Microsoft? Could it be that Microsoft is going to inject capital into Amazon? Otherwise, where would Jeff have the confidence to buy his shares? But with Microsoft directors injecting capital, why should I sell my shares?

...

"Boss, get in touch. Jeff will be waiting for you at Amazon all day tomorrow."

"Well, let's go there in the morning. You have also read the information on this company. Do you think it is necessary to invest in this company?" Feng Yu asked.

"Boss, I don't see any need for investment in this company. It's just a bookstore in the name of the Internet. There are bookstores in any city, and there are more than one. And you can read a few pages first, I feel interested before buying. This online bookstore can only see the cover. I don’t think it has much potential. And it needs to stock up a lot of books, and the cost will be high. Who would like to buy a book and get it in a week? where?"

"Of course, if after the investment, the report is done better, and it is listed on Nasdaq two years later, you can still make a fortune by taking advantage of the popularity of Internet stocks. But the return on investment period is relatively long, it is better to buy directly now What about the stocks of Internet technology companies that have already been listed. Uh~~Maybe my view is a bit one-sided."

Feng Yu nodded: "No, what you said is very good. These shortcomings do exist objectively. This company will definitely not be able to make profits in a short period of time. But have you seen the advantages of this company?"

"Advantages? In addition to being an online company, perhaps because it is an online bookstore, it can display more types of books than physical bookstores. But it will be very troublesome to find, unless they can make a good search engine ” Ralph thought for a while and said.

"Correct. If they can have a good search engine, it will allow customers to find the book they are looking for in the shortest time. Whether it is searching for the name of the author, country, publishing house or the name of the book, they can find the book they are looking for. Even the publication time can become one of the search criteria. The most powerful point of this online bookstore is that it can provide readers with more choices than any other bookstore. Perhaps in a short time, this company does not have any Development potential, but once developed, the future will be bright." Feng Yu said with a smile.

"So, boss, are you going to invest in this company?"

"Of course, if possible, I would like to become a major shareholder." It would be great if Amazon became his controlling shareholder. I don't know if this goal can be achieved. It all depends on how we discuss tomorrow... (To be continued.)
