Chapter 373: Stopper (Page 1/1)

No one could take advantage of all the opportunities, not even Su Mu, who had some future news in advance, missed a few cards with such a good hand, let alone Mr. Larry Ellison.

When Qian Helberg was playing golf with him, he had reminded the two founders of Cisco to sell his shares, but he didn't care much, and now the company's market value has reached more than 170 billion US dollars, which means that if he took this share at that time, Su Mu's worth would have more than doubled now! This can represent a fortune of up to 50 or 60 billion US dollars!

It wasn't just him who missed Cisco, the rest of Silicon Valley didn't expect the company's upside potential to be so rapid, and Su Mu heard only a small part of the future news from the old radio station, and it was not a pity that Ellison missed the opportunity to invest more than $20 million in Maple Leaf online shopping.

Before choosing to sell the shares to Su Mu, Mr. Jeff Bezos actually planned to sell the 20 percent of the shares to Ellison at the earliest, and finally Ellison was forced by Su Mu to give up the opportunity to take a stake in the company.

For the online shopping market, Ellison has always been very optimistic, and at his value, the idea of starting a business is not so strong.

The starting point for this idea is very simple: since he has earned money that he can't spend in his whole life, why not enjoy life and bother to invest in a company? Otherwise, he would have opened a similar online shopping company, which is not difficult and does not have too high technical barriers.

Su Mu is only in his twenties, and Larry Ellison is now fifty-one years old, his thoughts are completely different, Jobs who is lying next to Ellison is also in his early forties this year, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, the first batch of Internet entrepreneurs have gradually become old, some people jump ashore to enjoy life, such as Ellison, who is not old and continues to be merciful everywhere, Jobs is not worried about money, and his life is very good.

Of course, there are many people who have struggled in the quagmire of Silicon Valley for more than ten years, and still can't get ashore, and in recent years, Jeff Bezos has occasionally felt that if he hadn't sold his shares in Maple Leaf Books, he wouldn't have been so tired in the past few years, and Amazon's turnover was less than three percent of Maple Leaf Shopping.com, if he couldn't get financing, it would be a real failure.

He was surprised to find that Jobs was also there, the circle was so big, and the people who should have known each other had already known each other, and after introducing himself with a smile, he shook hands with the two to pay respect.

Jobs said, "I know your company, my wife bought a bottle of perfume on your shopping site, it's actually not far from the mall, she's just too lazy to go out." However, it took her nine days to get the bottle of perfume in such a short distance, and she had already bought it herself at that time and did not need it. ”

Well, Jobs is still the same Jobs back then, his arrogant personality makes him not know how to take care of other people's emotions, which is why Su Mu never thought of letting him return to Apple, and now Jobs only keeps a share of Penguin Apple to receive the company's annual report, and even Li Ping'an's shareholding ratio is higher than his, and it has almost nothing to do with the Apple company he founded.

If there was no Su Mu, he might have been "ordered to come back to save Apple", and now it is developing well after merging with Penguin Computer, wouldn't it be unpleasant to find this guy back, no one likes employees of his character, and even more so with Jobs' current value, it is impossible to work for anyone.

Bezos can't wait to dig a pit and bury his head in it, now the Maple Leaf shopping network has a large sales, and the United States Postal Service, which cooperates with it, gives priority to delivering its goods to customers, with an average time of about five days, and the unknown Amazon shopping network, can only look at the mood of the couriers, if the address is a little remote, it is common to take a month.

The U.S. Postal Service is a state-owned enterprise in the United States, and the employees are holding iron rice bowls, and as long as they are fired, more than 100,000 employees in the United States will also respond one after another, forcing those politicians to withdraw their orders. In this case, how much can you expect them to be productive.

He replied to Jobs: "I am sorry for this, please apologize to your wife on my behalf, I will definitely improve in the future." ”

Jobs just nodded, closed his eyes and didn't speak, he often visited the door, and he had a good relationship with Ellison.

Ellison then opened his mouth and asked Bezos, "I remember you've never been to my house, right, is there anything to do with me this time?" If you want to buy goods from Oracle, then go directly to my company and talk to the sales manager, it's not my company alone, don't expect me to give you a discount." ”

Before the request was spoken, Jeff Bezos felt that he couldn't talk anymore, in the face of these two famous megalomaniacs in Silicon Valley, this guy couldn't say anything, shook his head and said: "No, no, no, it's not what you think, I'm here today to ask you...... Interested in investing in my shopping website? It's similar to Lyon's Maple Leaf Shopping Network, in fact, Maple Leaf was founded by me, and I talked to you about it a few years ago, you should remember it, right?"

Ellison nodded, this time he finally looked at Jeff Bezos with his eyes, and asked two very sharp questions: "Are you sure that after getting the funds from me, you will be able to kill the company in Lyon?"

“……”

Bezos was speechless for a moment.

It's not that he doesn't want to answer, but he can't answer, if he knows how to solve these two problems, then the current situation is not the Maple Leaf shopping network is dominant, and he said in a suffocated tone:

"I've already talked about it, I started that company, it was a very good idea, and I had the financial backing of Lyon, I'm not sure, but I'm sure that you're going to invest three to ten times as much, maybe more! I'm going to use the money to advertise, to help my company promote, and to expand the number of logistics centers. ”

Ellison was amused by this answer, he was more interested in shopping sites, otherwise he would not have asked Bezos these questions, he was not the kind of hesitant character.

Continue asking, "How much do you think your company is worth and how much investment do you want from me?"

The tone is quite condescending, but now there are requests for people, Bezos doesn't care about this, if this business fails, it not only means that a few years are in vain, but also means that most of the wealth is gone.

Sitting on the chair brought by the butler, he said without hesitation: "I plan to use 49% of the equity to get 30 million US dollars from you, just 30 million US dollars, and my Amazon shopping network can develop ......"
