Chapter 372: Amazon

As early as before the establishment of the company, a perfect equity structure was set up to ensure that Su Mu could use a very low share ratio to grasp the company's right to speak, those companies developed smoothly under his management, and he was needed to coordinate the overall development, so there has been no major problem, the board of directors is almost like a decoration, they have the right to suggest, and the final decision-making power is firmly in Su Mu's hands.

He has the confidence and strength to do so, but it doesn't mean that others are so lucky, a large number of small and medium-sized companies have been robbed of controlling stake and voice by investors, and there are countless examples of this, Cisco, Apple, and Maple Leaf Shopping Network, which is now controlled by Sumu.

Jeff Bezos chose to sell the company he founded to Su Mu a few years ago and then start a new business, he worked on Wall Street for a few years, and his ambitions were much bigger than the average person.

He only stared at the fact that "Su Mu took away most of the company's shares", but he didn't think about the various resources and funds that Su Mu could provide, it was not easy to start a business from scratch.

And Jeff Bezos, after leaving the Maple Leaf Book House at that time, founded an online shopping mall called "Amazon", which is still the same old routine when the Maple Leaf Book House was developed.

This time he didn't have to find someone to raise money, the funds in his hand have allowed him to hold on until now, the result is that the oil is exhausted again, after all, there is no other source of funds, and the Internet industry is too expensive, just 30 employees under his hands, the annual expenses are a lot of money, not to mention the purchase of goods, leasing warehouses, advertising and promotion, etc., which does not cost money?

Maple Leaf Shopping Network is developing more and more, occupying more than 90% of the market share in the entire market, when it comes to online shopping, the first thing that comes to people's minds is it, Amazon is still a small company that lacks capital and fame, which makes Mr. Bezos look like a joke, if he chose to stay in Maple Leaf Books, now that share is worth hundreds of millions of dollars!

Regret is certain, there is no regret medicine for sale in this world, Jeff Bezos does not think that Su Mu will welcome him back, the company can no longer tolerate him.

A few years ago, he chose to leave the company with a group of employees, and now he should swallow the consequences of his own creation.

Yesterday I went to the manager of Waterfall Investment, which was founded by Bill Gates, he thought that Gates would be interested in his Amazon, but this was not the case, and a senior executive of Waterfall Investment listened to his explanation, and was not even interested in taking a look at the plan, and immediately told him: "Even if Mr. Gates is really interested in this industry, he will choose to invest in Maple Leaf Shopping Network instead of you...... Small companies that are nothing, we only invest in the best quality businesses, sorry. ”

This is already the fifth person who rejected his plan, a few years ago, someone wanted to invest in him, but Jeff Bezos did not accept it, and now he has no money in his hand, and he comes to the door to ask for financing, but no one is willing to receive him, mainly because Maple Leaf Online Shopping Network is too strong, so strong that in this field, only its name is known.

If he can't get the investment, Jeff Bezos will really be "out of food", he even took out the house and car to mortgage, in exchange for funds to continue the company's development, so today, he found the home of Mr. Larry Ellison, a playboy in Silicon Valley, if it still doesn't work, he gritted his teeth and went to Sumu to try, until the last resort, Bezos really didn't want to go to Sumu's side, proving that his decision back then was wrong.

Ellison also followed the example of Gates and Sumu, and dug a large lake next to his house to raise whales, and could go through a glass tunnel from his room to the bottom of the lake to see them, and he did not want to be left behind in this kind of affluence and enjoyment.

Jobs's house is next to his house, the so-called "close to each other", in fact, there is a distance of more than 400 meters in the middle, and it is already the closest neighbor to Ellison's house, and how big the house is can be imagined.

The two grew up in similar circumstances when they were younger, so it can be said that Jobs was Ellison's only real friend in Silicon Valley, and the two of them were talking when Jeff Bezos arrived.

Ellison told Steve Jobs: "I was going to buy half of Apple and let you be the CEO and manage it, but unfortunately you didn't agree.

If I had nodded at the time, and now Apple would not have been swallowed up, I would have known that Apple just lacked a great operating system, and it was fine in every way, except for those damn low-end products, in the minds of users, those cheap goods did not fit the image of Apple, Apple was the first PC manufacturer!"

Being kicked out by the company he created with his own hands, this has almost become a knot in Jobs's heart, and people like him are so proud and arrogant that they can't accept this fact, and still plan to return to Apple's power, at least before Su Mu merged with Apple with Penguin Computers, and now Apple in the real sense is gone, becoming a new company, and it is developing quite well, and he has no reason and opportunity to go back.

Jobs smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't know that things would turn out like this, Leon is a very smart person, he can see what we can't see, he has a very long-term vision, Apple is managed by him, it must be better than me, and the budget computer plan is a promotion plan that I came up with, and now it really doesn't seem to be suitable." ”

After leaving Apple, Jobs acquired a computer animation division called "Pixar Animation Studio", which is now developing quite well, and is planning to use computers to produce an animation, which is worth more than a billion dollars, and has nothing to do with the word "poor".

When it comes to Su Mu, Ellison also has to admire, his worth has risen amazingly, his wealth has more than three of him, most of the companies he likes are successful, and the ones he created have achieved great achievements, sighing and saying: "Now in Silicon Valley, the only person I admire is him, don't tell others, if others know about me, I will be ashamed." ”

The butler came to the two and bent down in Ellison's ear to tell him about Jeff Bezos' arrival, to which Ellison replied, "Let him come over and add another chair." ”

Guessing that someone was coming, Jobs asked, "Who?"

"Bezos, an arrogant unlucky bastard, is the one who sold Maple Leaf Shopping to Su Mu to make him richer. ”

Ellison added in a smug tone, "I should have bought those shares in the first place......
