Chapter 40: The Birth of Amazon Comes from a Flash of Inspiration!

(Author: I thank you here in advance for your concern, I'm fine, the murderer went to the police station last night and turned himself in.) Vertices

But after hearing the transcript made by the police, I became even more angry, the madman killed someone, and then leisurely washed his hands at the scene, and then went home to say goodbye to his family, and finally took the initiative to go to the police station to surrender in the company of his sister, wanting to be exempted from the death penalty.

I wish he had come to the door and I stabbed him!

In addition, those who joke in the comment section ask you to accumulate some morality, no one will take a leave of absence from a murder case! This kind of vicious case of slitting your throat and killing people will be in the news.

I'm sorry, but I ran back and forth at the scene of the accident, the police station, and the funeral home yesterday and only came back around 12 p.m. so I didn't update. The main thing is that yesterday I was really not in the mood to write!)

"Mr. Jeff Bezos, I'm glad to meet you, my name is Jia Lei, and I'm Pete's boss!" Jia Lei replied as he looked at Jeff Bezos and held back his excitement.

The name and face are matched, it seems that this person is the future richest man in the world and has not run away!

"You're Peter's boss, Pete used to talk to me on the phone about your youth!" Jeff Bezos said with a smile, and he certainly knew what else to say in this social situation.

"You've been so kind to me, and I'm curious how you and Peter met, and he's never revealed my whereabouts. Jia Lei asked curiously, he especially wanted to know why Pete would know the future richest man in the world.

"When I used to work at an investment bank on Wall Street, I worked with Pitt on a couple of projects, and the two of us had a good conversation and we became friends in private. Jeff Bezos laughs and explains that we are all peers, so he and Pete have a common language.

Jeff Bezos and Pete used to go to bars together after work from Wall Street, so Pete was able to recognize him at a glance in the moving car.

It's not uncommon for two different investment banks or funds on Wall Street to invest in the same project, so most of these mid-level Wall Street investment fund managers are familiar with each other, and many of them are even alumni or classmates from the same university.

"The boss's car is tied, and we can go!" Kerr said back at this point.

"Thank you for your help! I'm going back to driving, please help me take the car to the city." Jeff Bezos said, and then he wanted to get back in his car and get behind the wheel.

"Mr. Bezos, wait, since your car is broken, why don't you sit in my car!" Jia Lei hurriedly shouted anxiously, and at the same time, Pete and Kerr's hands on the car door paused at the same time.

The two of them glanced at each other, thinking that Jia Lei must be a demon if something goes wrong!

"No, I'm going to go back to the steering wheel so that the car doesn't get into accidents when it turns." Jeff Bezos said with a smile.

He always felt that Pete, the boss, looked at him strangely, so Jeff Bezos didn't want to agree to Jia Lei's invitation.

"You and Pete haven't seen each other for a long time, and now that you've finally met, don't you want to have a good chat and catch up?

There are a lot of bodyguards around me, I'll let Boer help you drive later, you two have a good talk. Jia Lei said with a smile, and then he opened the car door and invited Jeff Bezos to sit next to him.

"What's so embarrassing, won't the two of us bother you with the old days!" Jeff Bezos hesitated after listening to Jia Lei's words, after all, he really wanted to boo the old with Peter.

"Don't worry, you two won't bother me about the past! Pete should know how much he usually talks, if I was really afraid of being disturbed, I would have fired him a long time ago. Jia Lei didn't care about waving his hand and said, his words came from the heart.

Hearing Jia Lei's empathetic words, Jeff Bezos immediately felt that he might have misunderstood Jia Lei just now, and his first impression of Jia Lei changed from defensive to liking.

"Yes...... Yes, our boss is very nice, he won't think the two of us bothering him, let's just sit together. Pete stumbled in agreement with Jia Lei's statement under Jia Lei's wide-eyed hints.

Although Jia Lei is usually soft-hearted, he doesn't like to make friends with people casually, to put it simply, Jia Lei is a little cold to outsiders.

Jia Lei nodded with satisfaction immediately after hearing Pete's words, and then he pulled Jeff Bezos to his side and sat down, Pete could only helplessly sit next to Jia Lei with Jeff Bezos.

"By the way, Bezos, how did you move your family to this little part of Bellevue?

"I quit my job on Wall Street, and I drove my wife to Bellevue, and then I decided it was the right place for me and made my home here. Jeff Bezos replied.

"Resign! Why did you resign? Now that you have become the vice president of your fund company, as long as you continue to stay in the company for the rest of your life, you won't have to worry? Could it be that you have a conflict with your boss David Shaw?" Pete asked puzzled, after all, Jeff Bezos, the future prospects of their company are very good, and under normal circumstances, no one will resign.

"I didn't have a problem with David! I just came across a great startup project that I wanted to do, but unfortunately David felt that my project was a little unrealistic, so I left my previous company and started my own business. Jeff Bezos replied.

"Did you start your own business, and what projects do you plan to run this time, or are you in the financial services industry and hedge fund companies?" asked Pete curiously, after all, these two things are Jeff Bezos's old business.

"My project this time is not a financial company but an Internet company! When I worked at David's company, I mainly dealt with computers and the Internet, and when I was working, I accidentally entered a website, and then I found that the number of Internet users is growing at a crazy rate of 2,300 percent per year.

After seeing this figure, I felt that the future development prospects of Internet companies would be limitless, so I became interested in the Internet, and after careful consideration, I planned to set up my own super bookstore online.

Because David didn't agree with my idea of investing in an Internet bookstore, I took the project out and started my own business. I don't want to miss out on such a great opportunity in the early days of the Internet because of David's conservatism. Jeff Bezos replied with a smile that any industry is the easiest to get into when it is in its early stages.

"Bezos, are you crazy? You actually gave up your position as vice president of a Wall Street fund and ran out to start your own business, and even more ridiculous, what else do you want to do Internet bookstore project......?

Do you think this kind of unreliable project can succeed? I've never heard of anyone selling things on the Internet before, and if it were me David, I wouldn't support you!" Pete couldn't help but complain when he heard Jeff Bezos's words, of course, his words revealed more of Jeff Bezos's worries.

"Pete, I'm not crazy! I decided to sell books on the Internet after research, so I resigned from the Wall Street firm.

You'd better let me explain to you why I did this......" Jeff Bezos could only explain with a smile as he looked at his angry and concerned friend in front of him.

In 1994, the annual publication volume of books in country M was nearly 1.3 million, but the only 300,000 kinds of audio-visual products on the market were controlled by the six major audio-visual companies.

In other words, the market space for the book distribution industry in country M is very huge, and the annual sales of this industry have even reached 260 billion US dollars, but the annual sales of the world's largest bookstore with more than 1,000 branches only account for 12% of the entire book market in country M.

While Internet usage is growing at a rate of 2,300 percent per year, Jeff Bezos feels that selling books online will be a promising blue ocean because it has enough shares and more customers waiting for him.

So Jeff Bezos, who had just turned 30, came up with the idea of creating an online bookstore with millions of books, and he wanted to make it the largest bookstore on the Internet.

"Pete, don't talk nonsense here if you don't understand, okay? I think Mr. Bezos's judgment is right, the future prospects of Internet companies are indeed limitless, and it is definitely better for him to start his own business than to be a vice president of the original company. Hearing this, Jia Lei couldn't help but nod approvingly.

At least Jeff Bezos used to earn more money and get a dead salary, but the money he earned when he went out to start his own business was all his own.

"Boss, can you please stop making trouble!

What's so bad about Wall Street financial companies compared to Internet companies?

What's more, Bezos has now become the vice president of the fund company, and as long as he works harder, he can get the company's equity. But if he leaves David's company now, he will be undoing all his previous efforts!" Pete explained to Jia Lei.

At this time, the most popular bankers in the United States are Wall Street bankers, not the presidents of Internet companies!

"What if all the work is lost? It's not the first time I've done this, I was working in a bank when we first met, and I was praised for making the right choice to make the switch from a high-tech company to a hedge fund.

At that time, I had already reached the position of vice president of those two companies, but then I didn't resign from the bank foundation to start a business!" replied Jeff Bezos, who had never objected to his resignation the last time he resigned.

"Bezos, don't forget, you failed last time you started a business! If you had stayed in the bank, you would have become a millionaire like me by now, and you wouldn't be the way you are. Pete couldn't help but complain that the car he bought was much better than Bezos' broken car.

"The last time I failed to start a business, it was an accident, who would have thought that Merrill Lynch would actually withdraw halfway through! I swore at that time that I would never step into the financial industry on Wall Street again......" Jeff Bezos said innocently.

The company he started for the first time in the sea suffered such a big change shortly after it opened, and it was normal for it to go bankrupt in the end.

"I thought you remembered this lesson at the time, that's why you went to David's company as an assistant to the president!

It is said that you have worked hard for several years before you have been promoted to the vice president of the company, and the prospects of your company are so good, why do you suddenly want to run out to start a business?

But the latest computer-automated financial trading system company on Wall Street, it should also be regarded as an Internet company, right?

If you think the future of the Internet is good, why don't you stay there and continue to be a vice president?" Pete asked with a frown, as if all Internet companies were no different in his eyes.
