We all know that the Amazon is a river, in fact, in ancient Greece, there was a strong female tribe called the Amazon.

In ancient Greek, mazo means rufang, a means no, and it means "no rufang", because these female warriors are very strong, and the men of the surrounding tribes can't beat them, plus they will wear chest guards to protect themselves when shooting arrows, and they seem to have flat chests, so the men of the surrounding tribes use the expression "no rufang" to hack them.

Jeff Bezos chose Amazon as his company name because it means a lot and it's tough.

In April 2017, Amazon's market capitalization has reached $439.8 billion, making it the fourth largest company in the world, while the top three are Apple, Google and Microsoft.

……

Today, Alyssa wears a bespoke white over-the-top gown, a leather strap-on that runs through the furrow on her chest, her hair clumps up and down to the side, triangular bends to the side, and gold rings adorned with ears. This Roman-style dress sets off her ice muscles and jade bones, misty sideburns, beautiful and moving, extraordinary, and her gestures are like the goddess of ice and snow descending into the world. Her cold face makes people's hearts even hotter, and she can't wait for the hot face to be pasted on...... Go cool down.

Roy emboldened himself in his heart, Amazon is now just a small online bookstore, completely suppressed by eBay (equivalent to Taobao in the United States), unknown and not taken seriously, he is afraid of wool, and when Amazon grows up, then he may be dominating the world.

After a slight adjustment, he greeted him with a smile and a smile.

"Huh, Roy. I'll introduce you to ......," Alyssa replied politely.

"—No, Mr. Bezos. I know, I also bought books on his website. "—although it was a matter of the previous life.

Roy is still very well-behaved in front of Jeff, how can the other party also be a man who will be a god in the future mall, the basic respect, it must be from the heart.

"Hello, Mr. Fan. I don't know what books you bought on our site?" asked Jeff with interest, apparently thinking of him as a customer.

That made Roy stop. Pretend to be polite, it's not right for you to be serious.

“…… There are a lot of them, specific...... By the way, Alyssa, I have a big matter to report to you privately, you see......"

Alyssa politely refused: "Is there a matter of corporate financing? Today is a charity dinner, it's not very convenient, I'll take the time to make an appointment with you to meet officially." ”

Such a formal tone made Roy's heart sour, this attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away is like the sorrow of falling out of love, especially the pain of losing before love, only single dogs understand.

"So what are you talking about? Can I sit in and listen? ”

Jeff laughed, "We're talking about things inside the company, maybe ...... Not very convenient. ”

Roy felt like he had taken 10,000 critical damage. It's not convenient to talk about business, but you have a good conversation. When you sing and speak so bluntly, won't your conscience hurt?

Roy had a few more awkward chats, but his cheeks couldn't hold it anymore, so he left in a gloomy manner.

Jeff looked at Roy's back and laughed, "This little boy is very interesting, it seems to be a mess in front of you." ”

Alyssa laughed, "You might not guess that he's the CEO of a company." Hehe, let's look down on people. ”

Jeff shook his head absently, "Not really." If minors can survive business wars, then the business world is too generous. ”

Alyssa thought of Roy's ambition a month ago, like a hot-blooded red scarf boy, full of vigor and vitality, and she sighed meaningfully: "Maybe." ”

……

Roy found a corner not far away and sat down, staring at Alyssa and Jeff with a wine glass, thinking indignantly, it seems that opening an online shopping mall is going to be put on the agenda, hey, wait until that time, knock Amazon out, and see if you two adulterers are still laughing.

He recalled the glorious history of Amazon, especially the smart speaker made in the future, which is the most favored by the market, and has sold tens of millions of units. This speaker is called Echo, and the built-in intelligent voice assistant is called Alexa, if you shout Alexa, this intelligent voice assistant will be automatically excited, wake up.

And Alexa translated into Chinese is Alisa.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

Roy knows it all too well. In the future, Alexa will be Amazon's trump card, a voice assistant that can do almost anything, smart, humble, and helpful.

For example, if there is a big football game, you don't ask, what is the score now? And Alexa's voice response has a tone, knowing when to whisper, when to pause, when to take a deep breath, and to say some modal words, such as "yay" (wow) and "ahem" (um).

Alexa can turn on and off lights, call a car, teach you to speak a foreign language, chat with you, for example, if you remember a lyric of a song, ask Alexa, and she can help you find it. Patients with Parkinson's can also practice speaking with this Alexa.

Amazon also licenses Alexa to third-party developers for free, and almost any electronic device can have a built-in voice system, so washing machines, electric toothbrushes, air purifiers, TVs, cars, Alexa is everywhere.

Not to mention the freedom to shop anytime, anywhere, without restrictions. As long as there is Alexa, you can place an order, greatly simplifying the shopping process and making spending easier.

So the real question is, is this Alisa's name a coincidence or some special nostalgia for Jeff, the head of Amazon.

It's scary to think about.

Roy felt a huge sense of crisis, and he couldn't watch his wife fly in front of him.

Just as Roy was drinking three glasses in a row and was about to do something, his phone rang. As soon as he looked at the name of the call, he sneered and praised it, and finally came to a punching bag: "Hey." ”

"Roy!Is Red Coral's Series A funding already underway?"

"Oh, Mark. Not yet. What's wrong?"

"Fake, what kind of garlic are you pretending, do you think I don't know? You've got the lawyer to transfer all my equity to you!" Mark Randolph questioned.

"Honey, you have to figure it out, those shares were originally deposited with you, and it's not normal for me to take them back?" Roy leaned back, the corners of his mouth raised, and he smiled lightly.

"Then you are looking for investors to raise funds behind my back, what do you want to say?"

"Oh~?" Roy pretended to be surprised, and asked rhetorically, "Isn't it legal for me to do this?" ”

"Bastard, have you forgotten that what you promised at the beginning, every round of financing of Red Coral in the future will have half of me!"

"Tut-tut, oh~ I almost forgot if you didn't say it. What's the matter? Did I say I wouldn't give you money?" Roy sneered in his heart, do you still think Lao Tzu is still duckweed a few months ago?! What an idiot, as long as I can bring returns to investors and prove my ability, there will be no chance for you to appear in this scene.

"Well, now that you know I'm relieved. When do you plan to start your Series A round?"

"Mark, should I say that you are naïve, or that you are courageous? When you took away more than $4 million from the company, did you consider the difficult situation I was in when I first started my business? I didn't ask you for the interest back, it's good, and you still think that pie will continue to fall from the sky, tsk...... It's really eye-opening that a person can be so fascinated. Roy sneered gloomily.

"Bastard, you'd better think it before you answer, or I'll make you regret it!" Mark cursed through gritted teeth.

"I'm going to give you a 99 for this threat. I'm afraid that you will be proud, so I tell you that the total score is actually 10,000. ”

"You...... You won't succeed, as long as I'm here, you won't be able to get money!"

"Hahaha...... Take advantage of the strength you still have to shout, shout two more times, the so-called drunk today, what will happen tomorrow, who knows?"

"I ...... You ......"

"Don't worry about Mark, think slowly, say well, don't be afraid even if the heart attack returns, and I'll call you 120, right?"

"Roy, you don't have to die!"

"Tut-tut...... Wouldn't you invent some fresh lines...... Hey, hey?......" Roy looked at the phone that was hung up, his eyes were full of disdain, there were no chips, and he wanted to hitchhike, it was really naïve and pitiful.

On the other end of the phone, Mark slipped limply out of his chair and turned his head to look at the empty safe, and the thick stack of paper bills on the table, his eyes full of madness and fear.
