This Christmas season, the success of Amazon.com has made people aware of e-commerce.

Wall Street is very popular with Amazon.com, and many investors want to invest in Amazon.com, and on January 4, 1991, Sequoia Capital came to Amazon.com.

"Mr. Bezos, Sequoia Capital is very optimistic about the development of Amazon, so we intend to invest in Amazon. I wonder if your company intends to raise Series A financing?" a middle-aged man with a middle-aged status and a gentlemanly demeanor smiled and said to Jeff Bezos, "This time, we at Sequoia Capital are willing to invest $20 million with a very sincere attitude, and your company only needs to sell 20% of the shares." ”

The behind-the-scenes boss of Amazon is Li Zetian, where does Sequoia Capital need financing, not to mention, Amazon's market value is $100 million, which is too much to underestimate Amazon. Jeff Bezos pursed his lips and shook his head in his heart, but he still refused more tactfully: "I'm sorry, Mr. Patton, Amazon doesn't need financing for the time being!"

George Patton did not give up and said: "Mr. Bezos, although Amazon is the first company to do e-commerce, you know, more e-commerce websites will be established soon, and there are many followers behind it, and they are very powerful. If Amazon does not raise funds and does not accelerate the pace of development, I am afraid that it will catch up. In addition to giving Amazon capital, Sequoia Capital has a variety of resources and connections that can help Amazon grow rapidly!"

Jeff Bezos still shook his head, "Mr. Patton, Amazon still has funds, and it doesn't need financing for the time being." If we do need to raise funds, we will notify Sequoia Capital!"

George Barton couldn't help but look at Jeff Bezos a few more times, thoughtfully, and then asked tentatively: "Mr. Bezos, could it be that Amazon is really as the outside world says, and the boss behind it is the world's richest man, Chronos· Li？”

Jeff Bezoston laughed, "Mr. Patton, you should know that a lot of news is not credible, and as for who the owner of Amazon is, hehe, I have no comment!"

“Chronos· Li is really not the boss of Amazon?" George Patton asked again, wanting to make sure that if Li Zetian was the boss behind Amazon, George Patton would be ready to give up. If not, no matter what, he will fight for it, Amazon is too promising. Since the launch of the new website in December, sales have reached a staggering $400 million this month. Sequoia Capital has always had a good impression of technology companies, and has studied more deeply than other investment companies. The Internet is developing rapidly, and the number of Internet users continues to increase. At present, with 1 million Internet users, Amazon.com can achieve a sales result of 200 million US dollars, and if the Internet users reach 100 million US dollars, won't the sales in a month reach 20 billion US dollars?

At this time, Jeff Bezos smiled and did not want to answer.

Li Zetian told him not to reveal his identity.

If many people know that Li Zetian is the owner of the Amazon website company, then there must be more people involved in e-commerce. People believe in Li Zetian's investment vision, and the industry he is involved in is absolutely profitable. At that time, Amazon's competitive pressure will be particularly great! If Wal-Mart supermarkets, Sears retail stores, or the largest bookstore chains in the United States enter e-commerce one after another, these traditional companies will have a huge advantage, and once they transform, they will become giants! And Amazon.com will not be able to consolidate its e-commerce hegemony.

There are only more than 1 million netizens now, and the netizens in the future will be the real targets of the struggle! Winning at the starting point may not have the last laugh, Li Zetian decided that it is better to keep a low profile!

George Barton saw that Jeff Bezos was silent and didn't want to answer the question at all, so he took his leave. If you can't invest in Amazon, invest in other e-commerce sites. After he left Amazon, he felt a little unhappy. It has always been startups that go to Sequoia Capital to pull investment, but this time Sequoia Capital took the initiative to come to the door to express its willingness to invest, but it was rejected by one hand, and there was no chance to even talk......

In fact, there is never a shortage of investment in good projects. In addition to Sequoia Capital, there are many investment companies that come to Amazon. Goldman Sachs valued Amazon.com at $300 million, but it was rejected.

……

With the rise of e-commerce, online banking has also flourished, and Li Zetian's Wells Fargo Bank was the first company to open online banking, and in the past year, the number of new depositors has increased by at least 100,000 because of online banking. Wells Fargo is the designated online banking partner of Amazon.com, and as long as Amazon.com grows, Wells Fargo will also benefit greatly!

As for third-party payment software, such as PayPal, Alipay, etc., Li Zetian has not yet considered development.

When there is more online banking in the future, PayPal will have the soil for development. Right now, there are hundreds of banks in the United States. If these banks have opened online banking, there will be hundreds of online banks, not to mention that it is very troublesome for e-commerce websites to cooperate with so many banks.

If an e-commerce site doesn't negotiate a partnership with Wells Fargo, Wells Fargo depositors won't be able to make payments on the site, resulting in failed transactions.

PayPal, as a third-party payment software, makes the website, online banking, and the relationship between users easier and more convenient.

Wells Fargo has not yet become one of the top 10 banks in the United States, and Li Zetian decided to expand rapidly and acquire other banks! First, to strengthen the bank itself, and second, to promote online banking and Amazon.com.

If depositors have opened online banking, they will probably come to Amazon.com to shop.

Of course, using banks to promote Amazon.com, only Li Zetian came out. In the previous life, how could Amazon and Alibaba have this kind of treatment.

At the beginning of Alibaba's development, many people's understanding of Ma Yun and Alibaba was that they were scammers and scam companies!

If there is a bank guarantee, how can there be such a thing.

At the headquarters of Wells Fargo, Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin sat on a black leather sofa, and several people sat opposite them.

Li Zetian was the first to speak: "Since the 80s, hundreds of bankrupt companies have gone bankrupt in the United States, but Wells Fargo Bank has been very good, has always maintained profits, and has developed rapidly! At present, there are still many banks in a difficult situation, and the reason for this is that there are problems in operation. I'm going to invest $30 billion for Wells Fargo to buy these companies! I believe that with Wells Fargo's management, we can turn these banks around!!

As soon as the words fell, Li Zetian made a move of 30 billion US dollars, which couldn't help but shock several senior executives of Wells Fargo.
