Why is Li Jun the perfect angel investor for Bezos?

Bezos was born on Wall Street, so he is very sensitive to capital.

Wall Street is a place where you don't spit out bones.

There are only interests there.

Bezos, as an elite who has been mixed with Wall Street, has seen too many company founders and investment bosses on Wall Street to divide the equity equally, and there is no real boss.

Born on Wall Street, he will not be the boss like other entrepreneurs.

So much so that there is a story that Mr. Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, was driven out by Apple, which he founded.

Therefore, he is quite cautious about the selection of venture capital and investment bosses, because he wants to avoid the tragic scenes of companies that have been staged on Wall Street, many companies that struggle to produce good teams and good products often die on the way to the bull because of equity problems.

Therefore, he selected investors, and the venture capital company was cautious, but he still did not nod, and finally under Li Jun's partnership system, he first reached an agreement verbally, and he, as the venture capital boss, was only one of the partners, and he proposed the entry mechanism, development mechanism, distribution mechanism, elimination mechanism, and exit mechanism of partners.

In the future, Amazon will have a set of authorized equity mechanisms, which will not cause the company to stage the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Five Kings every day, which will greatly damage the company's performance, profits and development.

The two parties reached a consensus agreement privately, which is very beneficial to Bezos's Amazon dual-track partnership system.

So, he decided to sign it.

The company's future operation will not be affected by investors, which is exactly what Bezos needs, Bezos has his own set of business thinking in the years on Wall Street, if Amazon wants to continue to grow and develop, he already has a plan in mind, and a large part of this plan needs to make independent decisions, and will not be affected by the outside world.

In the previous life, Amazon's sales volume has increased year by year for more than ten years, but the profit has always been pitiful, so Amazon was once questioned whether it is reliable or not, but Bezos doesn't care about those doubts at all.

He felt that it was all short-term doubts, he focused on the long-term development of Amazon, and then he told the story for more than ten years, not ignoring the long-term for the pursuit of short-term interests, and he was bent on turning Amazon from a website that was just selling books in the eyes of others into a super large company.

After the negotiation of business matters.

The two began to talk about some "personal friendship".

"Mr. Li, you are so confident and optimistic about me, I really don't know why you like me......" Bezos looked at Li Jun, an Asian who had come to Bole several times, suspiciously.

"First of all, your Amazon has a very operational prospect, businessmen in business is naturally business, the future of the Internet can be expected, e-commerce is an inevitable trend, especially in developed countries such as the United States, traditional retail can no longer meet the needs of customers, followed by your personal rich management experience in Wall Street, and the determination to dare to start from scratch, you give up the high salary of Wall Street, starting from scratch is not every Wall Street elite dare to take a step, so because of your courage and business projects, I think it will be my loss not to invest. Li Jun said.

Hearing this, Bezos smiled heartily, "Haha, I hope I will let Mr. Li live up to his expectations." ”

……

The two sides finally agreed.

The contract was ready for the two days, and the contract was ready for the third day to be officially signed.

Li Jun contributed $20 million to raise Amazon, accounting for 40% of the shares, and Bezos will not be deprived of decision-making power no matter how he continues to refinance and dilute his shares in the future......

In a word, even if Li Jun has the majority of Amazon's shares, Amazon is still a company of the American imperialists, because Amazon is all in charge of Bezos.

Soon, the appointed day arrived.

Amazon Garage Inc.

At the time of the contract.

Amazon is still favored by some of today's well-known venture capital firms and Wall Streeters, who are still like wolf cubs following their prey.

For example, Mr. John Bogle, the chairman of the American Pioneer Group, personally called and asked him to consider the American Pioneer Group again.

Pioneer Group of Companies, as Li Jun knew in his previous life, is the world's largest no-fee fund family, the world's second largest fund management company, and in his later life, it probably manages more than $370 billion in assets around the world.

In his previous life, he was the supermajority shareholder of Amazon.

But in this life, it is obvious that he is going to be cut off by Li Jun.

The call was answered by Bezos's wife.

"Mr. Mai, I want to meet with Mr. Pei and talk about it again, do you have time. ”

Bezos glanced up at Huaxia Li, smiled, and then shook his head at his wife.

So Bezos's wife said on the phone: "There's no need, my husband has now found a partner." ”

"No, no, Mr. Mai, don't decide so quickly, please let Mr. Bei answer my call, and I'll finally talk about our investment plan......"

John Bogle pleaded repeatedly.

McKenzer said, "Jeff, you better take the phone." ”

Bezos nodded, then took the phone.

"Mr. John, I'm Bezos, I'm so sorry, we've accepted an investment from an investment boss......"

"Mr. Pei, you haven't signed yet, have you?"

"I'm getting ready to sign. ”

"Mr. Bei, we will re-quote, we will meet, and then you decide to sign, okay? Mr. Bei, you must know that we are not only providing you with capital support, with our company's influence in Silicon Valley, still in the United States, we can provide you with a lot of resources for the development of Amazon, I suggest that you stop signing the contract, and we will pay the relevant liquidated damages for you. ”

"I don't think it's much necessary anymore. ”

"Ten million dollars, how about it, Mr. Pei, five million dollars 51% of the equity, we conceded to 10 million dollars, I think that person will definitely not be able to pay me such a price. ”

"I'm sorry, the other party is 40% of $20 million, Mr. John, I hope we will have another chance to work together next time. ”

Bezos hung up.

John Bolger over there still wants to make a bid......

It's just that Bezos has already hung up.

Then, he said to Li Jun very heroically, "Mr. Li, let's sign." ”

"Good. Li Jun nodded.

The contract is in triplicate.

McKenzer put the contracts in front of Bezos one by one and signed them.

"The faster you work together. ”

Li Jun and Bezos' hands were shaken.

A company named after the world's longest river, like this river, Amazon will continue to grow as the largest company in the world.
