Residence No. 10704 northeast of 28th Street in Bellevue, WA, Country M

"Oh my God, Bezos, is your company actually in a garage?" said Pete, frowning as he looked at the garage in the yard in front of him.

&erYou should know my financial situation, I only have more than $10,000 in cash now, but I still have to buy office equipment and computer equipment, so I don't have the money to rent a house. Jeff Bezos said with a wry smile helplessly.

"Boss, although Bezos is my friend, I want to remind you once again in the spirit of an investment manager's work ethic, do you really plan to invest in Bezos's online bookstore company?" asked Pete with a serious expression, although he himself usually seems unreliable, he has always been able to distinguish between public and private in his professional field.

&er Don't say any more, I really want to invest in this company of your friend. Although his company looks a little worse now...... Jia Lei said here and stopped, and then took a closer look at this small company that had just been established and couldn't hold on.

The situation of this so-called high-tech Internet company is really not just a little bit worse, everything in the garage of the birthplace of Amazon is completely unrelated to high-tech companies.

In the middle of this small, relatively closed garage stood a large black stove for heating, and there were two tables made of cheap door panels, and two computers were messily placed on the tables, but there were no valuables in the garage.

"Oh my God, Bezos, if I'm not mistaken, the door panels you used to build these two tables should be a $60 a bargain in a furniture store, right?" Pete looked at the humble office environment in his friend's company and said in disbelief, this is really the worst company he's ever seen, not one of them!

"I also knew that the environment in our company was so bad that I didn't even have an office of my own....... There are only two employees in the company except me, and one of them is my wife. If you mind, you can get your investment back!" Jeff Bezos said to Jia Lei with a wry smile.

"It's okay! Start a business, it was very difficult at the beginning, and the conditions for me to start a business were not as good as yours. Jia Lei shook his head indifferently and said that Amazon's future prospects are so good, and he will not withdraw his investment no matter what.

"Oh, could it be that Young Master Jia, you didn't take over the family's wealth, and you also started your own business from scratch? This is impossible, right?" Jeff Bezos asked in disbelief as he looked at Jia Lei's white and tender appearance and the haute couture clothes on his body.

"What's impossible! I'll tell you the truth, when I started my business, I really couldn't compare to you, I started with less than $4,000 in start-up capital, and I started by selling eggs on the side of the road.

At that time, our house was about the same size as your garage, and I didn't even have a place to boil eggs, so I had to boil eggs in the yard.

So it doesn't matter where you are or what environment you are in when you start a business, what matters is that you must stick to this path! How do you develop this small company into an international big enterprise?" Jia Lei stretched out his arm and patted Jeff Bezos on the shoulder to encourage him.

"Is what you said true?" but Peter said you're a big customer of their company, a billionaire, and I don't believe you can really become a billionaire by selling tea eggs?" asked Jeff Bezos, frowning.

Jeff Bezos is not a student who has not left college, so he will not be fooled by Jia Lei's cheap chicken soup for the soul.

"Well...... well, I'll be honest! I really can't become a billionaire just by selling tea and eggs, since you and Peter are both engaged in finance, then you should know that if you want to become a billionaire in the shortest time, there are only two ways to speculate in stocks and futures.

I don't have much money, but when my father died, he left me some valuable inheritance. I used these things to borrow about 300,000 US dollars in the bank, and then I started to speculate in bonds, stocks and even futures, so I became a billionaire!" Jia Lei said with a smile, sure enough, this kind of thing pouring ** soup on smart people will not work.

"I remember that Pete became your personal financial advisor in the nineties, since you are saying that you made your fortune by speculating in stock futures, then you should have earned this money since the financial crisis in the island country, right?" asked Jeff Bezos, who was still working in the financial field at the time, so he knew everything about the futures market back then.

And in the early 90s, the only opportunity to make people rich overnight was the economic crisis of the island country!

"You guessed it!" Jia Lei nodded and said.

"I don't understand why you don't continue to invest in finance on Wall Street, but invest in my little broken company?" asked Jeff Bezos, puzzled.

"I think this question should be asked by me, since you have achieved the position of vice president of a hedge fund on Wall Street, then why did you give up the financial industry to engage in the Internet?" Jia Lei asked rhetorically.

"I started an Internet company because I wanted to create another company of my own, take charge of my own affairs, and open up a new era. Jeff Bezos replied.

"Then I can also tell you that the reason why I gave up the financial world is because I think that trading stocks and futures is far less secure than doing business.

After all, the risk of futures is too great, and it is not as safe as industry!

I now have enough money in my hands and don't have to take so much risk to gamble, so I chose to set up an angel fund to invest everywhere. And I just say that I have always invested in your company because I am optimistic about you as a person.

It's worth a million dollars to gamble on the future development of a new industry......

If I win the bet, I can invest in Scott and Microsoft to get rich overnight!

As for the bet lost...... This money is just a little pocket money for me, it's nothing!" Jia Lei said.

"If you have so much confidence in me, then I will accept your investment!

Young Master Jia Lei, don't worry, I won't let you down, I promise to multiply your investment dozens of times after ten years!" Jeff Bezos assured Jia Lei that he believed that his company would be able to develop as rapidly as Microsoft.

"Then I'll be waiting for your good news!" Jia Lei said with a smile.

"Jeff, now that you're done talking, you can invite Pete and the guests to sit in the house, and I'll give them coffee and snacks to thank them for helping you tow the cart back. Jeff Bezos's wife, Mackenzie Bezos, came over and said that their garage was too shabby to entertain guests.

"We're just doing us a small favor, Mackenzie, you don't have to be so polite. Pitt said quickly, and then he gave Mackenzie, who he hadn't seen in a long time, a hug.

"Of course I wouldn't be polite to you if it was just you helping, but I heard from Jeff that your boss helped us a lot this time, so I must thank him.

My teacher, Toni Morrison, once said to me to be grateful to the strangers who helped you in your time of need. Mackenzie looked at Jia Lei with a smile and said, Jia Lei's eyes suddenly lit up after this sentence.

"Oh my God, did I hear me right? Is your teacher Ms. Toni Morrison, who just won the Nobel Prize in Literature last year?" Jia Lei asked in disbelief after hearing this, this lady's book Jia Lei had read several books in his previous life.

"Yes, it's her! But I'm weird, when did my teacher have a book fan in Huaxia?" asked Mackenzie in surprise, and it seemed that foreign children like Jia Lei didn't like to read their teacher's history trilogy.

"I spend a lot of time abroad, and I like to read and write, so I pay special attention to Ms. Tony Morrison's books, and I always have a new copy with me.

It's a pity that I've been too busy to collect three of Ms. Morrison's "Beloved", "Jazz" and "Paradise", especially the last one that won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Jia Lei said with a little regret.

"Do you like the book Heaven? I happen to have a couple of copies of the latest version of the history trilogy that my teacher gave me, and I can give it to you. Mackenzie smiled at Jia Lei and said that her teacher was very happy to be loved by a foreign child, and she was a student.

"Oh my God, is this true?" Jia Lei asked happily when he heard this.

"Of course it's true, those books are in the study, and I'll take you to pick them up. Mackenzie said to Jia Lei with a smile, and Jia Lei immediately followed her out.

"Young Master Jia Lei, please wait first, our investment agreement has not been signed yet!" Jeff Bezos hurriedly shouted when he saw this, this is a major event related to the future development of their company.

"Husband, what kind of investment agreement are you talking about?" asked Mackenzie, looking back.

"My dear I have good news for you, this Mr. Jia Lei has just decided to invest $1 million in our company, which is like a timely rain for us. After Jeff Bezos finished speaking, he happily walked over and hugged Mackenzie to share the joy in his heart with her.

"Oh my God, Jeff, do you mean we really got the investment, and then we don't have to borrow money from your parents to maintain the company?" said Mackenzie, who heard Jeff Bezos's words, and immediately hugged him happily.

"Not only do we not have to borrow money to maintain the company this time, but I can also go outside and hire a professional accountant to take over your work, so that you can concentrate on writing in the future. Jeff Bezos said to McKenzie.

"I'm not in a hurry when I write, inspiration isn't always available, and I'm not in a hurry. Our company is just starting out now, and even if we have money, we can't spend it indiscriminately. I'll continue to work part-time as an accountant and assistant for you in the future, so that I can save a salary. Mackenzie shook her head and refused, saying that she was always thinking about her husband's career.

Although Mackenzie was born in a rich family, she has always relied on her own work to make money, not by her family, since she was willing to follow her husband to give up her high-paying job on Wall Street to start a business, she is not afraid of hardship.

"Honey, you've been so good to me! you're really a woman who can get me out of a prison in the Third World. Jeff Bezos hugged Mackenzie and said affectionately.

"Ahem, if you two are still here, don't make out ......" Pete coughed vigorously, reminding his two friends of the current situation.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I was so excited that I forgot about you. Mackenzie hurriedly apologized to Jia Lei.

"It's okay, as long as you're willing to give me that set of books!" Jia Lei quickly replied with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll give you the book! We'll have more books than anything else in the future, right, husband?" McKenzie said back to Jeff Bezos.

"Yes, we don't have much else in the future, but more books, because I'm going to open you the biggest bookstore in the world. Jeff Bezos smiled and said to his wife, and at the moment the two of them only had each other in their eyes.

******

"This set of books was a collector's edition of my teacher who was specially released by the publisher after she won the Nobel Prize, and what is even more rare is that my teacher also signed these sets of books sent to me. Mackenzie took out a set of books from the bookshelf in the study and touched them, and then she handed the books to Jia Lei.

"Oh my God, do you still have your teacher's autograph on it, it's too precious!" Jia Lei said and carefully took the set of books with two hands, the expression on his face was as if he was on a pilgrimage.

"Although my teacher won the Nobel Prize, she always regarded herself as an ordinary writer, and she said that she only used her pen to record real people in society, not great people. Mackenzie said.

"No, no, no, Ms. Tony Morrison's books describe characters that can give people a kind of shock from the heart, and people like us who use the pen to logic all the characters' stories are the real ordinary writers. Jia Lei was sincerely afraid to hold the masterpiece in his hand that could win the Nobel Prize in Literature, and couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.

Jia Lei didn't even get mixed up with a great god covenant at the starting point in his previous life, let alone think that he would one day be able to compare with the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature.

"Huh, did you say you wrote it too? Is this true or false?" asked Mackenzie curiously, she couldn't think of anything that a child as old as Jia Lei could write.

"I just write as a hobby, and sometimes when I'm in a bad mood, I try to write a story in my notebook, so that I can pass the time and soothe my mood......," Jia Lei and Mackenzie said of what they wrote.

"Yes, I also use this mood to create literature, my teacher told me......" Mackenzie immediately happily exchanged writing experiences with Jia Lei, and for a while both sides couldn't care about other people.

"Two great writers, may I disturb you?" asked Jeff Bezos as he walked over with a dictionary.

"Yes!" Jia Lei and Mackenzie said in unison, and then the two of them looked at each other and smiled very tacitly.

"I wanted to give our company a new name, because it's often mispronounced and mistaken for a funeral company. Can you two great writers give me a new name?" asked Jeff Bezos.

"Of course, my dear, what kind of name do you want?" asked Mackenzie.

"I want a name that starts with an A-line so that the first thing a user enters into a URL is that shows our company's name. Jeff Bezos thought for a moment and said.

"If that's the case, I've come up with a good name. What do you think of the name Amazon?" Jia Lei asked with a smile.

"Amazon?, are you talking about the Amazon in the Amazon?" asked Mackenzie curiously.

That's the name, it's a world-famous river, and the name Amazon has a lot of popularity in any country. If we call it this name, it will make it easy for everyone to remember our company website. Jia Lei said with a smile that the first thing that popped up in his mind after hearing this question was the name Amazon.

Amazon is the world's largest and most diverse river, and I hope that our company will become the world's largest online store with the largest variety of products in the future, just like the Amazon River. Jeff Bezos' eyes lit up.

In his previous life, the name was randomly translated from the dictionary by Jeff Bezos, and in this life, Jia Lei did not want to change this meaningful name because of himself.

The wheels of history are rolling forward, Jia Lei firmly followed the footsteps of history and once again walked into the right track of the world. I want to talk about "Rebirth 1990: The Invisible Rich" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
