Coming out of Seattle's Boeing Airport (Jinzhen International Airport), Li Feng and Gates said goodbye separately, Gates naturally went back to his home, but Li Feng politely declined Gates' invitation to go to his house, and directly took the convoy that had been waiting for a long time, heading towards the Skyline Hotel in downtown Seattle and in Seattle's central business district.

The Skyline Hotel in Seattle is naturally the Skyline brand of Li Feng Hotel Group, a 5-star hotel in Seattle's Central Business District, and not far from the famous Four Seasons Hotel, which is now one of the best hotels in Seattle.

As for the convoy that came to the airport to greet Li Feng, it was provided by the hotel, and the big boss Li Feng personally stayed in the hotel, which naturally caused the hotel to be in a hurry, and when Li Feng's convoy arrived, from the hotel manager to the suite housekeeper and so on were already waiting at the hotel gate to greet him.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the suite specially set aside for himself on the top floor of the hotel, looking at the cityscape of Seattle, Li Feng felt relaxed for a while, to be honest, Seattle really has a unique geographical location.

Located between the famous bay of the Pacific Ocean - Puget Sound and Lake Washington, surrounded by the Olympic Mountains, the metropolitan area is densely covered with forests, rivers and lakes, and is still a typical temperate oceanographic climate, with warm winters and cool summers.

Similarly, Seattle is also home to some of the world's most famous giants, not to mention Microsoft, as well as one of Northrop Raytheon's competitors, Boeing, which is now headquartered in Seattle, but Boeing seems to have moved its headquarters to Chicago.

In addition to these two giants, there is also the rising star Amazon, and the future Amazon is naturally a technology giant that can be compared with Microsoft, with a market value of more than one trillion. By the way, there is also Starbucks, of course, today's Starbucks is still a small guy compared to giants such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Boeing.

......

In addition to these giants, there is also the famous Seattle SuperSonics, which are now a strong team in the NBA, and the SuperSonics team in the mid-90s competed fiercely with Jordan's Bulls and Karl Malone's Jazz team.

In 98 years, Seattle has been recognized by the American people as the most livable city with the highest quality of life.

"Bell bell bell..."

"Hi... , here is St. John Lee..."

"John, don't bother, I'm Bill. ”

"Oh... , Bill, are you thinking of me like that, and you called me not long after you left?" Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Li Feng suddenly replied jokingly.

"Uh... , John, it's to blame you, it's no wonder your reputation is too big, no, I just got home and I kept getting phone calls, many people inquired about you, including Amazon, there are many people calling, are you interested in attending a party?"

"Huh... Bill, when did you become the middleman?"

"Uh... , you think I'm thinking, who knows what they think, all of a sudden they all called me, what can I do. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for your arrangement, how about it?"

"Okay, John, then I'll arrange a private party at my house in 2 days. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for you to let me know. ”

"That's it, hang up first!"

“…”

Gates hung up the phone directly after hearing Li Feng's agreement, leaving Li Feng speechless for a while.

......

Li Feng was really a little surprised that Gates suddenly received a lot of phone calls or something, thinking to himself, when did he become so popular, of course, he also understood what Gates meant, after all, he was able to call Bill Gates in person, and it was clear that they were all weighty people, and Gates couldn't refuse directly.

Similarly, Li Feng is also a little looking forward to the next party, after all, this is also one of the normal socializations.

In the next 2 days, Li Feng's mood was completely different from the last time he came to Seattle, the last time he came to Seattle was when he invested in Amazon, although Amazon also passed the listing and capital increase and share expansion 2 times, but Li Feng decided to follow the investment, and there were no major problems and contradictions at that time, resulting in Li Feng not coming to the last 2 capital increases and share expansions.

Since its listing in 97, in fact, Amazon has gone through 2 rounds of capital increase and share expansion, raising nearly 800 million US dollars, otherwise it has raised tens of millions of US dollars with the Amazon just listed, where is it enough for Amazon to expand.

So far, at least, Amazon has acquired two internet companies, Junglee, a data mining company, for $186 million, and Planetall, a social networking company, for nearly $100 million.

Originally, it was necessary to spend a lot of money to acquire IMDB, the world's largest film database company, but since this company was established by Li Feng's investment, the result is still being negotiated.

Originally, Amazon still had some operating capital, but due to the conflict with Li Feng this time, the last working capital was directly invested in the stock market to stabilize the stock market, and as a result, hundreds of millions of dollars were directly consumed.

There is no problem with the last two capital increases and share increases, that is, there are problems with this capital increase and share expansion, according to Li Feng's ideas, it is estimated that the scale of this time is indeed a bit large, and according to Amazon's plan, this capital increase and share expansion needs to raise 1 billion US dollars.

Although Amazon was the star stock of the NASDAQ before, and now the stock price is moving towards $200, with a market value of more than 20 billion, the amount of one-time financing of $1 billion is still a little worrying, and such a capital increase and share expansion cannot be calculated according to the market value, after all, the market value is just a set of numbers on the stock market.

And Li Feng is notoriously cashy, and the group of people represented by Bezos may be worried that if most of the $1 billion shares are taken away by Li Feng, then Amazon may really have to be surnamed Li directly, which has led to a series of recent Amazon incidents.

……

In the past few days, Li Feng has collected information about Amazon in addition to visiting those famous attractions in Seattle, especially when Li Feng saw that Amazon's stock price was about to push to $200 and the market value was leaping by 30 billion.

Originally, according to Li Feng's plan, the NASDAQ Internet bubble would not appear or even burst until after 2000, but when I saw Amazon's current stock price and market value, I hesitated.

According to the understanding in memory, it seems that Amazon's market value before 2000 peaked at about 2 or 30 billion US dollars.

Like companies such as Amazon, it seems that after the bursting of the Internet bubble, the market value does not shrink to less than 10%. Now invest hundreds of millions of dollars to get a little bit of shares, if you wait until the bubble bursts to buy the bottom, then this capital can easily reach 10 times the shares.

At this time, Li Feng really felt a little difficult to ride a tiger, after all, it was so big, if he was over, not only did he not look good, this was not a self-smashing signboard.

Li Feng didn't know that the historical Amazon did not perform well in the stock market in 99 years, and it reached its peak soon after the New Year, with a market value of more than 30 billion US dollars, but the good times did not last long.

Since May, the stock price has been pouring all the way, and by the end of 99 and the beginning of 2000, it was originally the peak of the bubble, and the market value should have been at its peak, but the market value of Amazon's stock price has uncharacteristically dropped by half.

Of course, with the bursting of the dot-com bubble shortly after the New Year of 2000, the stock price fell all the way down and finally the market value shrank by 95%, leaving only a market value of $2 or 3 billion.
