For Starbucks, although Li Feng did not pay special attention to it, he had always heard of the name of Starbucks in his previous life, and in his previous life in Huaxia, Li Feng also went to Starbucks from time to time to have a drink or something, and Howard Schultz, the big man of Starbucks, had heard some rumors and news.

This bigwig was originally an employee of Starbucks, but later opened his own coffee shop, and then raised a sum of money to buy his old club Starbucks, and then slowly developed, and in 92 years Starbucks was listed.

When Starbucks first went public, it was just a small company with more than 100 chain stores and a market value of only $2 or 300 million, and even now, Starbucks has only more than 2,000 stores and a revenue of less than $1 billion, far from being the supergiant of 20,000 or 30,000 stores in later generations.

At the same time, Li Feng also knows very well that although the boss of Starbucks, Howard Schultz, is known as the 'boss', but it is very unworthy of the name, and the shares of Starbucks, the chairman and CEO, actually occupy very little, and even later Starbucks has a market value of more than 100 billion, and Howard Schultz's full worth is just over 1 billion US dollars, which also includes its industries outside Starbucks.

Howard Schultz once left Starbucks, but it seems that he was asked back to preside over the work again after the 08 financial crisis, Li Feng believes that there must be a power struggle for Starbucks, otherwise why did he suddenly quit Starbucks, and then Starbucks was asked back again when it faced serious problems, just like the original Joe gang leader, which must involve the rights of the company.

Seeing the nominal boss of Starbucks at this party, Li Feng was completely moved, of course, it was not a place for formal conversation on such an occasion, and after greeting everyone, he temporarily put down his thoughts, left business cards for each other, and said goodbye to everyone and walked around again under the leadership of Barry Akeley.

Next, I met a large number of celebrities from all walks of life in Seattle, from Seattle city officials to city councilors, Washington state legislators and even the Bundestag, to Seattle's many rich and famous people to many culture, art, entertainment stars, etc., which was indeed very lively.

……

"John, I guess I don't need to introduce him!"

"Uh... , Jeff, long time no see, I miss you so much!" Hearing the joke of the old rascal Barry Akeley, Li Feng gave a squint of anger and only then greeted the bald man in front of him with a pun.

Yes, as the Amazon continues to grow, the hair on the bald head is getting less and less, and now it is simply the same as in later generations, directly bald. Li Feng still remembers that when he first came to Seattle to invest in Amazon, he just saw that Bei Bald still had long hair, and he was still a little unaccustomed to seeing it, but now he has a trace of the 'brilliance' of Bei Bald in later generations.

"Hmm... , John, long time no see!"

"Haha... John, I'll introduce you to your friends..."

"This is..."

“…”

Seeing the somewhat embarrassing scene between Li Feng and Bezos, Barry Akeley suddenly spoke out to help Li Feng introduce the rest of the people next to him, including the local wealthy consortium in Seattle and many shareholders of Amazon, including the Wall Street consortium, the local wealthy group in Seattle, and so on.

After all, Amazon is now a large company with a market value of nearly $30 billion, although it has not been established for a long time, and the shareholders behind it are naturally becoming more and more complex.

Of course, no matter how strong it is, holding more than 3% of Amazon's shares, coupled with the many share authorizations on the contact, Li Feng is already invincible, and now Li Feng is more important to consider how to give himself the best step down, after all, he has now found that at least before the bubble bursts, Amazon is almost at the end.

At this time, if you increase capital and expand shares according to the market value or something, and the bubble is broken, then your losses will be great, although it will not hurt your muscles and bones, but Li Feng will not be stupid to know such a situation and grit his teeth to chase down.

......

"Ladies and gentlemen, although I don't usually pay much attention to Amazon, I also know that Amazon is doing very well on the NASDAQ today, and I would like to thank you for making my Amazon shares more and more valuable. After some introduction, Li Feng smiled and thanked everyone.

"Haha... John, as long as you don't blame us, Amazon is doing exactly what we want to see right now, isn't it?" quipped a vice president of a Wall Street consortium and a representative on Amazon's board of directors.

"Yes, I really need to thank them!" Hearing this, Li Feng suddenly replied with a pun again, making him suddenly shut up.

For the representatives of Wall Street consortiums, Li Feng naturally knows that it is almost impossible to say that Jeff Bezos suddenly has such a change this time without the promotion of these behind-the-scenes consortiums, perhaps these consortiums are preparing to receive Amazon shares in Li Feng's hands, and many Wall Street consortiums are the main force in the promotion.

After all, whether it was investing in Microsoft, Cisco, Yahoo, etc., Li Feng has withdrawn one after another, which may have given outsiders a false impression that Li Feng only wants a return on investment in these companies.

"John, in a sense, I do feel a little sorry for you, after all, you were the first to find me to invest and gave me absolute trust, but with Amazon's current size, don't you think there are too many shares in your hands, although the outside world may not know about it. Bezos didn't hide it at this time, and said directly to Li Feng.

"Forget it, there's no point in talking about this now, but since you already have such an idea, as the so-called 'twisted melon is not sweet', I won't force it, anyway, our cooperation was still very pleasant before, and now Amazon has also given me a huge return on investment.

In this way, I can not participate in this capital increase and share increase, but I want to guarantee my rights, I will send someone to participate in the whole process of capital increase and share increase, I will withdraw all voting rights and other rights, the board of directors can be increased to a list of 9 people, but the three seats on the board of directors belonging to me can not be less than any of them.

What if you agree that you can negotiate the next round of capital increase and share expansion based on Amazon's current market capitalization?"

"Huh... , John, how are you...?"

Hearing Li Feng's words, whether it was Barry Akeley, the old rascal, or Bezos and the others, they all looked at them dumbfounded and strange.

……

"Huh... , is there anything strange about this, after all, Amazon is in Seattle, and I'm a bit out of reach. ”

"Oh... No wonder John you're at Apple but..."

The old fellow Barry Aakley replied again, with a look of what I had figured out. Similarly, the rest of the people also have different thoughts, but at least everyone on the surface looks like this, which makes Li Feng feel that they are all actor-level bosses.

Of course, in fact, everyone was pondering in their hearts why Li Feng suddenly seemed to change his attitude, after all, Apple's experience is still ahead, Apple tested this genius boy a little and directly intervened in Apple, and gained the greatest right to speak.

And Amazon's side did it directly, and as a result, this genius boy passed by lightly, which seems to be a little inconsistent with this genius's code of conduct, is it really because Silicon Valley is too close to Los Angeles and Seattle is too far away.

Thinking of hearing such a bizarre reason as 'because of the distance' from Li Feng's mouth, everyone silently replied in their hearts, isn't this nonsense, I believe you are all fools!
