It's not impossible to cooperate, and it's okay to talk about it a few years later.

Ye Dongqing attaches more importance to Wal-Mart's huge employee base and influence on major guilds, but it is definitely not possible to talk about mergers at the moment, at least until Amazon's market value reaches four or five hundred billion US dollars.

Many shareholders were persuaded by him to support Ye Dongqing and avoid asking Bezos to agree to the conditions given by Wal-Mart.

However, after an in-depth investigation, it was found that Wal-Mart had given a lot of verbal benefits to the middle and senior managers in the proposal, promising not to fire the existing employees as long as the merger could be reached, and would also give the employees equity rewards, clearly trying to win them over.

This is a good explanation for why Jeff Bezos has paranoid thoughts, and it seems that the gang under his command has been pouring soup lately.

Wal-Mart's scheme, coupled with its willingness to pay a lot of price, shows that there must be people at the top who are firmly optimistic about Amazon, or some shareholders want Wal-Mart to move closer to the title of "semi-Internet company", so as to promote the development of the stock price and make it have more development potential.

This is normal, the supermarket field has been developing for so many years, as huge as Wal-Mart, it is time to find other new markets, but unfortunately it just happened to be on Amazon, which is valued by Ye Dongqing.

Judging from the current market value and merger price, in fact, Wal-Mart has been kind, otherwise Bezos, who once said that "he does not sell his company shares", will not be easily shaken, as long as he nods, the total wealth can skyrocket by more than sixty percent in a very short period of time, which is a matter of heartbeat.

Ye Dongqing can see it more thoroughly than anyone else.

It's useless to have him alone, you have to have the support of others, after all, not everyone is as lucky as him, and with the experience of judging future development trends, more people can only take one step at a time.

Stayed at the Hilton Hotel that night, did not meet the pair of Hilton sisters, the next morning did not rush to find Bezos, first went to Gates's house to walk around, to see the whale sharks he raised, but also to look at the collection in the study, the luxury and unbelievable in the eyes of others is just the "ordinary life" in Ye Dongqing's eyes, I think it's not bad, but I didn't make a fuss, but I felt that Gates's aesthetics were a bit problematic.

can't take out the company's affairs and talk about it casually, otherwise Ye Dongqing really wants to communicate with Gates, knowing that the opportunity to make money is in his hands, but someone wants to give away part of this opportunity to those Walmart shareholders for nothing, no matter how you think about it, it is a very depressing thing, if Netflix makes him unhappy, most of them will be liquidated, but Amazon has too much room for growth, even Ye Dongqing is reluctant.

With a tiger-shaped bronze and a bottle of old wine from the 19th century, he swaggered away soon after being a guest, there was no need to be polite to Gates, the robbers came to his house, and Gates didn't care.

Came to Amazon and talked to Bezos face to face again.

It was noon, Ye Dongqing had already bought a hot dog on the street to eat, the taste was not good, and the inferior cheese made him very unhappy, sitting in the office, crossing Erlang's legs and asking: "Do you remember the things I talked to you about last night?" I'm worried that you drank too much and forgot everything. ”

?“ I remember after you came, I drank two more drinks after you left, I don't remember the rest, I didn't expect you to have such a big reaction, in fact I think it's a good thing to merge, the problems between us should be solved first, and any ideas can be said now. ”

Disagreements between managers and major shareholders have always been taboo in doing business, and Besso said it because he really wanted to resolve the conflict before making a final decision.

The consequences may be serious, but the incident itself is not serious, it is just a disagreement, and it has nothing to do with character, even if the couple occasionally quarrels, the business partners will naturally encounter more problems.

"Let's put it this way, I think Amazon's current market capitalization is far undervalued, it has the potential to grow into a giant like Microsoft, and it doesn't have a competitor to keep an eye on, and partnering with an established retail company with no future is tantamount to suicide.

My suggestion is that you wait, but it's just a 60 percent premium, maybe by the end of the year, Amazon's total market capitalization can grow to that number, why do you want to kill the chicken and take the eggs?"

Ye Dongqing opened the skylight and said brightly: "There may be other executives who have recently agreed to the merger, in my opinion, it is mostly for their own interests, not objective, you know what Walmart promised them and you." With such an impressive growth rate in revenue and a growing user base, why bother, why don't you want to annex Walmart and become a part of it?"

really cared, he hadn't paid attention to business for a long time, and he hadn't said such a long thing in order to persuade anyone, usually others persuaded Ye Dongqing and wanted to get his consent.

This made him pay more attention to the importance of the right to speak, and in all fairness, it was much easier to persuade Jobs than to persuade Bezos, who could be said to work for him, but in front of him was the actual person in power in Amazon.

Bezos probably didn't expect Ye Dongqing to have such high expectations for Amazon, the current market value of Microsoft is more than 20 times that of Amazon, seeing Ye Dongqing's serious face, not like he was joking, he began to reflect on whether his idea was correct, and whether the merger would really outweigh the disadvantages for Amazon.

After listening to Ye Dongqing's words, the original positive answer turned out to be ambiguous, he finally changed his words, rubbed his eyebrows and said: "Now I just have this idea, I haven't really decided how to choose, I will seriously consider your suggestion, if, I mean if the result is different from your idea, what will you do?"

“…… Emptying all Amazon stocks, turning to EBA, or starting a company on your own, with the influence of Walmart, I don't think it will be too difficult to bring down Amazon at that time, and I will never say big things about this kind of business when it comes to money. ”

I also have the confidence to say such things.

Ye Dongqing doesn't want things to develop on the bad side, but he is not afraid of encountering problems, there are many companies with a large user base in hand, and they can indeed create a new company quickly, and they already have the experience of starting a business in Huaxia, it is estimated that it will not be too difficult, and there is no need to worry about customers.

Bezos believed that he could do such a thing, and the balance in his heart quickly faltered.

Next, they had an in-depth conversation and exchanged some opinions and ideas, whether they could convince Bezos, Ye Dongqing didn't know, he knew that he would not be persuaded by Bezos......
