Bezos has a bald head, beckoning ears, a narrow face, and a big mouth and slender eyes, so he has the nickname of a Martian, and his appearance looks a little funny, but he is a rigorous and meticulous person.

After graduating from high school, Bezos went on to Princeton University, where Einstein taught in his later years, and his interest turned to computers, graduating with honors in 1986 with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and computer science from Princeton University.

After graduating from Princeton University, Bezos soon joined a new high-tech company in New York. Two years later, Mr. Bezos moved to a New York bankers trust, where he managed $250 billion worth of computer systems, becoming the youngest vice president in the bank's trust company's history at the age of 25.

From 1990 to 1995, Bezos co-founded the world's most advanced and successful hedge fund trading management company, becoming the company's youngest senior vice president in 1992.

In 1994, while surfing the Internet, Bezos accidentally entered a website and saw a number: 2300%, the number of Internet users is growing at this rate every year, when Microsoft in Seattle has gradually grown up, Bezos saw this number, his eyes lit up, and he wished he was like Microsoft. Succeed in the IT industry and be a trendsetter on the cusp of the network.

In 1995, Bezos moved from New York to Seattle, he chose Seattle because of the availability of technical talent and the proximity to the Oregon warehouse of the large channel distributor Ingram Books, Bezos used $300,000 in start-up capital to create the nation's first online retail company, Amazon, Inc., in a rented garage in the suburbs of Seattle 。

The nascent Amazon company was a huge success, quickly becoming a large enterprise with a market value of tens of billions, and Bezos also became a legend of entrepreneurship.

Bezos is a weirdo who treats failure as a treasure, and everyone's attitude towards failure determines the height of his success, Bezos is a weirdo who treats failure as a treasure, and he believes that failure is a necessary ingredient for invention and creation, and if you already know that this ingredient will work when doing an experiment, then this is not a real experiment. Therefore, if you want to invent and want to create, failure is indispensable and inevitable. There is no magic formula for success, the key is to get ahead of others. Only those who really see through failure can get close to success.

Martians who only take new paths, in Jeff Bezos's view, copying other people's successful models is the most undesirable, it is a waste of life, and it is difficult to achieve great things in the end, he often admonishes others: your time is limited, so don't waste them on repeating other people's lives, don't be bound by dogma, that means you live with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let other people's noisy opinions overshadow your true inner voice. Most importantly, you have the courage to follow the instructions of your intuition and your heart – they somehow know what you want to be, and everything else is secondary.

Mark also praised his career experience, and even joked that he was willing to direct it himself and make a legendary movie.

Their friendship came when Mark wrote his first book, Twilight, when Mark persuaded Sophia to let the bank lend a large sum of money to Amazon to help her survive the dot-com bubble.

Seeing Bezos' disgruntled face, Mark said, "Jeff, be happy! Your fortune has quadrupled, money is the most practical, you should buy a private jet." ”

Bezos said: "The price is that Amazon has changed its boss. ”

Mark had no choice but to pretend to be stupid and said: "What does it matter? Your property has risen four times, and Davis Fund has paid four times the market value to buy it, who can refuse? I still want to sell 10 percent of my hand, but unfortunately he only needs 5 percent, if you are willing to pay this price, mine can also be sold to you." ”

In fact, Mark didn't want to sell it, but Martin opened his mouth, Mark didn't dare to refuse, Amazon's big fat, Martin made a brazen move.

Not only Mark, many banks, funds and consortia that hold Amazon's equity have quickly got rid of it, Bezos pledged a part of his equity to the bank, overdue to repay the money, now on the eve of the financial tsunami, the market began to have a shortage of money, Amazon expanded too fast, the capital chain was tight, giving the Davis Fund an opportunity, Bezos was very depressed, even though his nominal property had risen fourfold, he suspected Mark of colluding with Martin to engage in Amazon, who didn't know that they were wearing a pair of pants.

But now that he heard that Mark had also sold and was willing to sell to him, he was shaken in his suspicions, he couldn't pay four times the price, and he said, "If MM was bought, you wouldn't say that." ”

Mark said: "Guan Jian is whether there is a quadruple offer, if there is, I will be the first to sell." "MM is not worth 100 billion no matter how you calculate it, and no one will buy 100 billion now, and Time Warner is not worth this price.

In fact, MM has the equity of Naifei, Pingguo, Marvel, Pixar, etc., and its development potential is far greater than that of Time Warner, but it has not yet stopped this.

Bezos had no choice but to laugh at himself: "Maybe I should buy a private jet." ”

Mark said: Maybe your laughter should be quieter. Bezos's laughter is very loud, some people have always described it as earth-shattering, worried about the collapse of the house, compared with another Seattle bigwig, Gates, Bezos is much more easy-going, his childlike innocent laughter instantly shortens the distance between you and him, so that you can't help but sigh: This is a man who is both rational and emotional!

"It's true, you know I hate working overtime, I don't work overtime unless I can't keep up with myself, I'd rather stay at home and have a good week, and I'll have more time after I retire as president of Amazon," Bezos said. ”

Mark said: "You're not doing it?" This guy still owns about 15 percent of the shares, and his net worth has reached billions, starting his business in 95 years, only 12 years, and his net worth is billions, and many super-rich bigwigs are just like this, this achievement is quite dazzling, but compared with Mark, it is slightly inferior.

"Davis has an absolute controlling stake and will definitely reshuffle the board and management, and it's better to resign than to be kicked out," Bezos said. ”

Mark said: "Martin is a good man, but when it comes to managing companies, Michael and Columbia are proof of this, we better sit down and talk, I personally think the best way to prevent the depreciation of everyone's investment is to be re-elected by you, and the shareholders do not interfere in specific operations." Seeing Bezos silent, Mark said: "You can think of shareholders from dozens to one, now you are not the nominal largest shareholder, but this cake has become bigger, and everyone's purse has risen is an indisputable fact, if you are interested in my proposal, we can fly to New York and sit down to talk." ”

In fact, Bezos came to see Mark, that's what it meant, since Mark took the initiative to propose, this is the best, this also proves Mark's innocence, Mark talks about being rich and being a mother, which is far more convincing than talking about friendship, Amazon has made Bezos famous, and he will never give up, so Mark's proposal is exactly what he wants.

Mark said what was in his heart, except for Bezos, no one can run Amazon well, but Bezos didn't dare to say such arrogant things, Mark said it openly, which made him very frustrated, very cool, and it was not like a child who was robbed of his favorite toy when he first came.

"We could invite Davis to visit Amazon's headquarters, and by the way," Bezos proposed. ”

Mark said: "Now Martin is a guy who doesn't leave New York easily, either we go to visit or have a conference call. ”

Bezos said, "Shall we visit? But you're making a movie, can you go away?"

Mark said: "Martin is also a major shareholder of Time Warner, and I am working for him now. He called Wally and Blomkamp and put them on the set, and he flew to New York.

Shen Zai Mark also wants to see Martin, recently Martin's foundation has made a series of moves, launched a number of large-scale mergers and acquisitions, the move is fast and ruthless, not as low-key as before, and it is even rumored that he owns part of the shares of Raytheon, which is involved in the arms manufacturing industry by Wall Street investors, and also acquired Blackwater, an insatiable capitalist colludes with ambitious politicians, such a combination will make many people uneasy, right?

Blackwater, in particular, has an extremely complex background and can take over a large amount of business from the Ministry of Defense, will this be an easy role?

However, when Mark and Martin could get in touch, the other party clearly refused his visit, on the grounds that he was now in South Africa, and Martin agreed to Mark's proposal to keep Bezos and his management team in office, saying: "Of course, why would you leave him 15% of the shares?"

Mark, as one of the shareholders, has the right to make such a proposal, but Martin agreed too quickly and too rashly, which made Bezos, who was sorting out the documents on the side, incredulous, he was sorting out the documents, hoping to convince Martin through beautiful numbers and sincerity, who knew that the other party agreed to the proposal without even seeing each other, he said: "That's it?"

Mark said, "That's it, the power of attorney will be brought by his assistant." ”

Bezos said: "He spent 15 billion to get an absolute controlling stake in Amazon, not 1.5 million." ”

"For him, maybe it's not much of a difference. ”

Bezos laughed: "That sounds like a great thing." ”

Mark said, "So bring out your signature big laugh, the house here is sturdy enough." ”

Bezos pointed to the TV and said, "You're in a lot of trouble, I'm embarrassed to laugh." "The TV was showing footage of a crowd protesting in front of Columbia Pictures and MGM Pictures.
