Chapter 984: The Yen Opens and Falls
"By the way, what happened to the eBay website you invested in?" Feng Yu asked after remembering.
Speaking of it made Feng Yu depressed. At the beginning, he asked Kirilenko to investigate more Internet technology companies, but Kirilenko cast a wide net and let him invest in eBay.
And Feng Yu had completely forgotten about this company. When he remembered, they no longer wanted venture capital, and the shares of some small shareholders were also bought by Kirilenko. Now Kirilenko is eBay The second largest shareholder next to the founder, other shareholders are all executives such as directors of the company.
Fortunately, Feng Yu doesn't think that Amazon will develop worse than eBay. Ebay is equivalent to an electronic market, which is slightly different from Amazon's model.
In the previous life, Yibei was so arrogant, didn't he fall into the sand in China? Not Ali's opponent at all. Ebay's model is not impossible to imitate, but it is the largest in North America for the time being.
"EBay? It's not bad, but just changed to a female CEO! I really don't know what that Pierre thinks, what can a woman do?" Kirilenko complained.
Feng Yuxin said, if it weren't for this woman, eBay might not have been able to develop so well. In her previous life, she was a working queen. She worked as an executive in several Fortune 500 companies. After leaving eBay, she became the CEO of Hewlett-Packard.
Some people even said that without her, there would be no eBay, and it might have been acquired by some company long ago, or worse, it went bankrupt due to poor management.
"If I were you, I would trust her. She is a very capable person. This is not very good, and you can also be a shopkeeper. I give you a suggestion, don't sell the shares of eBay, wait for ten years In eight years, you will have dozens of times the return." Feng Yu reminded.
He was afraid that Kirilenko's brain would get hot, or he would listen to other people's words and sell the shares, and he would lose a lot.
"I know, I don't intend to sell. Didn't you tell me that Internet technology stocks listed before the millennium should be sold before the millennium. Do you try to hold those listed after the millennium? If there is no shortage of money, just let it go." Kirilenko said casually.
Uh~~~ It seems that I have worried about him for nothing!
"How about your Amazon? Didn't you say that you want me to get a website like Amazon? I looked it up, and it seems that Amazon doesn't make money at all, right?" Kirilenko was a little puzzled. The volume is lower, it is a book seller.
"Why, the location of the supermarket has been settled?" Feng Yu was a little delighted, Brother Ji moved very quickly.
"Not yet, but the construction of the website can start first. Just choose an office location and find a group of technicians."
"Amazon lacks funds. They want to go public to raise funds. I rejected it. Fortunately, I won in the end. Amazon has also developed step by step according to the plan. The variety of products is increasing. Not long ago, it just acquired Internet movies. The database company is currently negotiating with several companies, and intends to acquire those companies, which are databases, social media, and search engines."
Feng Yu's idea is that if he is short of money, he will invest, and forget it for the time being. But he didn't want Amazon's team to leave, and finally Feng Yu convinced other shareholders that he would divide the shares into two types, and the new investment would be non-voting shares. I don't know how much the stock in my hand is worth.
All of this is very similar to the pace of Amazon's development in the previous life, and Feng Yu didn't give any pointers. At present, online shopping is still in the initial stage of development. The model of the online shopping mall he knew in his previous life is really not working now, because there are not so many customers.
To put it bluntly, computers and the Internet are not very popular now, so how can online shopping malls be too popular?
"Aren't you going to go public? Then you just keep losing money?" Kirilenko was a little confused. With such a development, he couldn't see any hope of making money.
"After the millennium, Amazon is bound to start making money,
And the profits will increase. I let you learn this business model, and I also let you cultivate customer groups first. When you have a broad customer base, you will naturally be able to make money, which is the same as retailing in physical stores. "Feng Yu explained.
"Really? That's it. Then we have to pay for our online shopping mall for a few years first?" Kirilenko was a little dissatisfied. If he pays for a few years first, the return on investment period is too long, right?
"Two or three years, but I guarantee that after five years, you can get more than ten times the return, or even more!" Amazon is expected to lose money for five years, but Kirilenko's website can learn from Amazon's experience and lessons, It is bound to avoid a lot of detours, and it will definitely not be a problem to make profits earlier!
Um? With such a high rate of return? Kirilenko is satisfied, that's acceptable.
"Our import supermarket company has already registered and is in the process of site selection. I estimate that it will be able to open in the second half of this year."
"Well, pay attention to product classification and shelf placement, these can attract customers, and we must try to catch every customer who comes to the store." Feng Yu instructed.
"Don't worry, it will definitely be beautiful. When the time comes, I will invite professional talents to design the layout. It will be better than your Taihua Supermarket."
Feng Yu shook his head with a smile, Brother Ji has such a strong desire for comparison. However, he is still very relieved about Kirilenko. After all, Kirilenko has been in the distribution business for so long, and he must have a large number of such talents under his command. Feng Yu even felt that his entrustments were superfluous.
"Well, tomorrow I will ask someone to transfer the first phase of funds to the account."
"Don't worry, it will be done before the end of the month. You said that Soros would attack Russia and the ruble. Why is there no movement so far?" Kirilenko asked curiously.
"Because Lu Bu is the last move he is going to attack this time, or he will attack Xiangjiang again. After attacking Xiangjiang, he will definitely attack Russia. As far as I know, he should still be planning on the island country and wait for the island country to start. Now, we will follow in quietly, be more conservative, earning 20% is not a problem."
Feng Yu has also kept people watching Soros's movements. Soros attacked Indonesia again, causing heavy losses to Indonesia. This time, the International Monetary Fund officially intervened. Those countries in Southeast Asia are no longer suitable for participating.
Soros is notorious and has taken all the blame for the financial crisis in Southeast Asia. Feng Yu and the others have made a lot of money and have not been scolded, which makes Feng Yu the most satisfied.
But this time, Feng Yu definitely wants to participate in the island country. His joining will make the island country suffer a more severe impact and slow down the economic recovery of the island country again. This is what Feng Yu likes to see very much.
Of course, it is also very important to make some money. Even if it's only 20%, judging from their investment base and cycle, it's still a lot of profit.
The two were chatting when Feng Yu's satellite phone rang.
"Hello? What? Okay, I see, get ready, let's enter!"
Kirilenko looked at Feng Yu curiously: "What's wrong?"
Feng Yu turned his head and replied: "The yen has started to fall!"
