A week later, Jeff Bezos moved his family from bustling New York to the beautiful city of Alameda, and after spending all his savings, he and his wife finally got their wish and bought a beautiful Victorian villa on the Gold Coast.

Every morning and dusk, flocks of seabirds fly past the door, standing on the front of the house and looking out over the sea to bustling San Francisco.

The new home is very close to the Amazon, a twenty-minute walk away, and the scenery and fresh air along the way are beautiful.

After completing the formalities, Jeff Bezos put on his newly purchased suit the next morning, said goodbye to his wife, walked into the Amazon office building, and began his journey to realize his ambition.

However, after walking into the office area, Jeff Bezos was a little puzzled, the time for work had come, but there were only a few people in the entire office area, and most of the seats were empty.

"Mr. Bezos, the president asked me to tell you that when you come, please go to the grass behind the building. ”

When the employees in the office saw Jeff Bezos, they relayed the president's words to him.

Jeff Bezos said thank you and walked to the grass behind the building.

Coming to the meadow, Jeff Bezos finally knew why there were only a few employees in the office area during office hours, because most of the employees were sitting in a circle on the grass at this time, sitting on the ground, and communicating with each other.

"Hey, Jeff, over here. ”

Doug Macmillan beckoned to Jeff Bezos.

Jeff Bezos said hello to Doug Macmillan and sat down next to Doug Macmillan.

"Okay, the people have arrived, let me first introduce to you, the Mr. Jeff Bezos next to me will be the vice president of Letao, everyone is welcome!"

As soon as Doug Macmillan's voice fell, everyone applauded.

"Thank you! It's an honor to work with all of you at Amazon, and I hope we can be friends not only as colleagues but also as friends in the future. ”

Jeff Bezos smiled slightly after speaking, and his humble speech won the favor of the employees present, and he was much more popular than those leaders who came up and reasoned as soon as they came up.

"Okay, now that we've introduced our new colleagues, let's start today's discussion! Who's going to speak this time?"

"Me!"

As soon as Doug Macmillan finished speaking, a young woman with black-rimmed eyes sitting in the crowd raised her hand.

"Okay, then let's ask Kaile to share her imaginary future world!"

Jeff Bezos was a little confused when he heard Doug Macmillan's words, he didn't work in the office area during work hours, and a group of people actually got together to daydream! What is this going on?

Just as Jeff Bezos looked confused, the woman named Kaile began to speak.

"I imagine the future world, when cars are driverless, we don't have to take a driver's license, we don't have to worry about violating traffic rules, we just need to lie comfortably and listen to music and watch movies, and the first night we only need to make arrangements for the next day's itinerary, it will send us to the company, airport, hotel according to the itinerary, it can also find its own parking lot, pay parking fees, instead of us to pick up and drop off children to and from school, in case of traffic accidents can also help us call the police to contact the hospital. ”

"That's a great idea! If there is a car like this, please bring me one. ”

After Keller finished speaking, Doug Macmillan took the lead in applauding.

"I think Keller's idea deserves a Medal of Visionary, what do you think?"

"Agree, I'd like to have such a car too. ”

"Agreed! If you have such a car, at least you don't have to take a driver's license test in the future. ”

"Alright, then I'll give this Medal of the Visionary to Keller. As he spoke, Doug Macmillan took out a small special medal from his pocket and handed it to Keller.

"Great, thank you!"

Kaile happily took the medal and put it on his chest, this small medal is very useful.

Since the establishment of Amazon, on the first day of every month, Doug Macmillan will organize the company's employees to communicate, mainly to imagine the future world, and if it is good, it will reward a fantasy medal, and those who have this medal will have ten days of paid leave, and no matter where you want to travel anywhere in the world, the round-trip air ticket company has covered.

"Who's next?"

"Me!"

"Okay, I can't wait to see what the future world looks like in a programmer man's brain!"

"Haha!"

The crowd laughed at Doug Macmillan's words.

"I imagine a future world where shopping sites analyze the shopping behavior of each customer, record the items that each person browses, and ...... the price and brand of those items and other data analysis, and then carry out different strategies for each customer. For example, if you don't have money to buy, you can give you a loan, if you are hesitant, you will be accurately pushed with advertisements every day, and if you regret buying, you will be provided with a flea market for you to trade and realize.

And our PayPal can record your every purchase, and then conduct an in-depth analysis to find out how you are doing.

For example, if you use your PayPal to buy medicine at a pharmacy, the background will analyze what kind of medicine you bought and which pharmacy you bought it from, and then it will push relevant services to you, make an appointment with a hospital, pick up and drop off a special car, and accompany you to see a doctor...... Wait.

For example, if you use PayPal to buy a plane ticket, the background will analyze whether you are traveling for business or tourism, and then push hotels, restaurants, and pick-up and drop-off ...... to you and other services. ”

"That's a good point. ”

After the programmer man finished speaking, Doug Macmillan took the lead in applauding. "But I have a creepy feeling about the future world of the programmer, like being stripped naked and pushed down the street, and I'm worried about my wallet. ”

"Haha!"

The crowd laughed at Doug Macmillan's words.

"But that's a good point, and I'll be rewarded with a Medal of the Visionary. Doug Macmillan said as he tossed a medal to the programmer.

"Who's next?"

"Me!"

"Okay, it's you......"

…………

The time of joy was always short, and the hour-long discussion ended before you knew it, and the eight speakers were all awarded the Medal of the Fantasist, and the whole discussion was full of joy. And Jeff Bezos, who had been sitting in the crowd and quietly observing, also saw the doorway of this discussion.

Doug Macmillan is using this seminar to unite the team, create communication, enhance internal unity, and also distribute some benefits to employees in such a special way, increase employees' goodwill and loyalty to the company, reduce employee job hopping rate, and avoid brain drain. What's more important is that you can get some unexpected ideas in the discussion to help the company improve.

Online shopping belongs to a new industry, the future belongs to young people, Amazon wants to grow and stand tall in the future, it must always know what young people have in mind.

At the end of the discussion, Doug Macmillan called Jeff Bezos into his office and explained the specific work.

"Our technology is currently supported by IBM Group, and then we will build our own technical team, so that we are more flexible, you are an electrical engineering and computer science background, engaged in computer system development, your online bookstore As far as I know, all the development work is done by one person, and you are an expert in computer technology, so I want to leave the formation of the technical team to you, and the follow-up development work is also entrusted to you. ”

"No problem. Jeff Bezos nodded, he is indeed an expert in computer technology, Doug Macmillan thinks the same as he thinks, he also hopes to start from the technical side and slowly integrate into Amazon.

"But technology is very expensive, is there any pressure on our funds?" Jeff Bezos has to find out his net worth before forming a technical team, technology and equipment are a bottomless pit, poor and poor ways, rich and rich methods, no money to develop the system by themselves, servers are rented, and there is money to build a server farm or supercomputer, which is very big.

Like Amazon's current scale, although it does not use supercomputers, but the server farm is needed, IBM is a black store, servers and related services are expensive to death, so Amazon wants to form a technical team that really belongs to it, and there is no tens of thousands of don't think about it.

"Here you come. When Doug Macmillan heard Jeff Bezos's words, he called Jeff Bezos to the window and pointed to a construction site in the distance. "Do you see that construction site over there?"

Jeff Bezos nodded.

"There's a new office building in Letao, with a total investment of $4.9 billion, and we'll be able to work there in eight years. PayPal's office building has also begun construction in downtown Los Angeles, which is $200 million more expensive than this one. After Doug Macmillan finished speaking, he gave Jeff Bezos a faint smile, and the whole eyebrow was a look, we are not bad for money.

After listening to Doug Macmillan's words, Jeff Bezos stared blankly at the construction site not far away, feeling a little confused, how much confidence does Amazon have in himself? As soon as it was established, it used 10 billion dollars to build a building, leaving no way back for itself, what if the business failed, and collectively changed careers to engage in real estate? Who is the "real estate king" in the competition with Chuanchuan?
