Chapter 848 Amazon is Amazon

As a "pioneer" old-timer, Yahoo's performance on the first day of listing did not disappoint all those who paid attention to him, and he used his strong performance to show a truth to all Internet pioneers - people here are stupid and have a lot of money, come quickly!

No one could have imagined that Yahoo's stock price would skyrocket so much on its first day of trading, starting at $20 and closing up 160% — a staggering $52. So far, the market value of Yahoo has officially exceeded the $1 billion mark on the first day of listing, and the two founders of Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro have successfully stepped into the billionaires' club with their shares.

However, I believe that everyone may not believe that such a company with a market value of more than $1 billion has not yet made a profit of a penny. Even, it is no exaggeration to say that Yahoo is still losing money, but such a "money-losing product" has won the crazy popularity of the entire market.

In this way, a fairly clear fact is clearly revealed - the spring of the wasteland of the Internet industry has really come - the capital dads are now crazy, and they are really stupid and have a lot of money.

Therefore, many "pioneers" who are struggling in the Internet wasteland, after seeing the madness of Yahoo and the success of Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro, seem to see a candlelight in the dark, and instantly feel that their future is bright.

As a result, in the magical place of Silicon Valley, more and more "pioneers" with billionaire dreams have been ushered in. However, the dream is good, but the reality is cruel, because this is not a soft paradise, but a cruel wasteland.

Every day, in the magical place of Silicon Valley, some "pioneers" confidently set up technology companies to realize the ideas in their minds, and every day, in this magical place of Silicon Valley, some "pioneers" are like lost dogs to close the companies they founded and crush their dreams that have become reality.

Yes, yes, there are more and more opportunities in the Internet wasteland, and more and more "pioneers" are succeeding here and realizing their dreams of wealth. However, these lucky "pioneers" are really only a handful, and most, or even the vast majority, of the "pioneers" only serve as cannon fodder and nourishment for the progress of this great era.

The vicissitudes of the sea show the true character of heroes - this is a great era!

This is a great era for the "pioneers", and it is also a carnival era for the "capital fathers".

Because of the huge success of Yahoo, many venture capital companies and investment institutions seem to be crazy, as long as the Internet-related projects are passable, then how much it costs is casually. Obviously, these followers just want to make a "peach" in this pile of "rotten sweet potatoes", however, what they get is more "rotten eggs".

There is no doubt that not everyone has Su Chenyu's vision, but he is standing on the waves of the tide of history, looking down on the entire era of rushing forward.

After participating in Yahoo's listing, Su Chenyu hurriedly flew from New York to Seattle that day, and he didn't want to wait for a moment, because there was a company destined to be great in Seattle waiting for his "good luck" in front of him.

It's not Microsoft, it's not Boeing, it's not Starbucks — well, Starbucks doesn't seem to be great yet, it's a small company that's still very small.

He's the famous Amazon!

Yes, Amazon, that's Amazon!

In the future of the global Internet, Google and Amazon are like two super masters of martial arts, standing on the top of a high mountain and "looking down on all beings". It can be seen from this that the Amazon guy is so awesome, it's like a heifer flying a plane, and it's all over the sky.

However, many people may not have thought that Amazon, which will be so awesome in the future, is now just a small online bookstore, how can there be a little bit of a stock price breaking $1,500 and a market value of nearly $800 billion in the future?

Let's put it this way, to put it mildly, to put it mildly, Amazon is now like a flagship store that sells books on Tmall, but people play more advanced. However, this was a great idea at the time, and not only that, but most importantly, Amazon's founder Jeff Bezos would soon have another idea to make Amazon take off - Amazon can provide more choices to readers in addition to selling books. As a result, books, DVDs, software, toys, clothing, and all sorts of other things began to be sold on Amazon, and this is the e-commerce that Amazon started.

If Amazon is only engaged in e-commerce, then it is nothing more than Taobao or Jingdong in the United States. However, Jeff Bezos just wants to play a little trick, Kindle, cloud computing, virtual currency, etc., step by step let Amazon break out of the small world of e-commerce and embark on a bigger future. However, these are nothing, the most important thing is that Amazon is also one step ahead of the world in artificial intelligence, and it can be said to be on a par with Google.

So, how can Su Chenyu not love such an Amazon, how can he not intervene, how can he not take it into his arms?

At the Amazon headquarters in Seattle, Su Chenyu went to meet Jeff Bezos in person, which definitely gave him enough face - you know, Su Chenyu hardly shows up much now, and he will only meet very, very important people.

There is no doubt that the current position of Jeff Bezos in Su Chenyu's heart is quite important, after all, this is a "humanoid money printing machine" that can create hundreds of billions of dollars of benefits for himself in the future.

For smart people, there is no need to waste more oxygen to talk nonsense, especially for smart people like Jeff Bezos, who once mixed with the top management of fund companies in the financial circle, he knows many things in his heart. Therefore, for Su Chenyu, a big man who came with the will of a consortium, Jeff Bezos had already made a corresponding plan in his heart.

Looking at Jeff Bezos on the other side, Su Chenyu said directly to the point: "Mr. Bezos, I believe that I don't need to say more superfluous words!"

Nodding, Jeff Bezos smiled and said, "I already know your intentions." ”

"And what do you think?"

After a pause, Jeff Bezos straightened his face, and then said: "In principle, I agree with your financing shares, but some details still need to be discussed. ”

As soon as he heard Jeff Bezos's answer, Su Chenyu nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "As long as Mr. Bezos agrees to our financing and shares, then other things can be discussed." ”

For Amazon, Su Chenyu really attaches great importance to it, so he once again asked straightforwardly: "Then I don't know how many shares Amazon can give? How much do you want to finance?"

"With a 20% stake, we hope to raise $20 million. ”

Now that the subject has been discussed, Jeff Bezos is no longer hiding, besides, he used to be a person in the financial world, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about in this financial capital, as long as you can get money.

Not too surprised, Su Chenyu touched his chin, and after thinking for a while, he said solemnly: "I have no objection to the valuation of Amazon at $100 million, but 20% of the shares are too little." ”

After hearing Su Chenyu's words, Jeff Bezos naturally knew what it meant, so after thinking about it, he said, "Then how many shares do you want?"

“40%!”

Shaking his head, Jeff Bezos said quite categorically: "Impossible, this number is too much." ”

"So how much stake can you give up? 20% is a bit small!"

After a long groan, Jeff Bezos groaned and gave a number: "30%!"

Although Su Chenyu was not very satisfied with this figure, at least it was acceptable, so after thinking about it, he said: "Okay, then that's it, $30 million to acquire 30% of Amazon's shares." ”

"I have one condition, though!"

Seeing that Su Chenyu agreed to his terms, Jeff Bezos smiled and said, "Please speak!"

"Quite simply, all future financing for Amazon must be done by fund companies and investment companies under the SS consortium. ”

Yes, this is the condition that Su Chenyu wants to offer, for Amazon, the "golden rooster" that will lay golden eggs, Su Chenyu has as many shares as many shares as he wants. Therefore, for all the financing of Amazon in the future, Su Chenyu must win, which is an absolutely unquestionable condition.

Hearing Su Chenyu's words, Jeff Bezos didn't know what this big guy meant, but he didn't care, because once Amazon really grows, it must be attached to a huge financial consortium. However, in Jeff Bezos's vision, Amazon could be attached to a consortium, but it was better not to hang himself from a tree, in which case Amazon's power would probably fall into the hands of someone else.

"Yes, but ......"

Regarding Jeff Bezos's hesitation, Su Chenyu naturally knew what he was worried about, so he said with a smile: "Please rest assured Mr. Bezos about this, we will never interfere in the management of Amazon, and all the operations of Amazon are still in charge of Mr. Bezos." ”

"Well, in that case, then I agree to this condition. ”

Nodding, Su Chenyu said with a smile: "That's a happy cooperation." I believe Amazon will become the greatest technology company in the world in the future. ”

"I'm convinced of that. ”

After a brief meeting between Su Chenyu and Jeff Bezos, the Pioneer Fund announced the acquisition of a 30% stake in Amazon for $3,000, and another Internet company with a valuation of over 100 million yuan was born.

However, no one knows that $100 million is really the price of cabbage for Amazon, and it should be said that it is the price of rotten vegetables.

Because, this is Amazon!
