Chapter 473: Missing a CEO, do you want to come
, The fastest update to Hollywood’s latest chapters starting from animation!
After many days of hard work, Zucker's work schedule in Seattle was finally completed.
On this day, Zhu Ke accepted the invitation of the chairman of Amazon Mall Bei Shaotou and went to his home.
"Zuke, see it. Since LinkedIn announced the opening of its Series A financing, until Amazon, Microsoft, Heidrick & Struggle, and Blue Crown Capital entered the market, until the dust settles today, LinkedIn's topic has always been the media. The focus of attention." Bezos laughed while sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Zhu Ke toasted him a glass of wine and smiled: "What do you want to say? Haha, are you proud of it!"
"Of course."
Bezos drank the whiskey in the glass and said, "I know you very well~"
"Oh, how do you say?" Zhu Ke played with the taste.
Bezos looked straight and solemnly said: "In your speech at the shareholder meeting two days ago, you mentioned the main points of future development, whether it is to open online news and information, or relying on the advantages of LinkedIn platform to develop online Both education and offline education can bring a lot of profits."
profit!
These two words are always a topic that cannot be bypassed by a company!
An Internet company that cannot achieve profitability, or it takes a long time to achieve profitability, will definitely be eliminated by the market even if it has a large number of users. After all...the same type of competition will never be lacking in the market. opponent.
Bezos stared at Zhu Ke with scorching eyes, and continued: "Although you did not clearly mention the future profit direction of LinkedIn at this shareholder meeting, don't forget, I have known you for many years. "
"The money you invested in LinkedIn has been more than 100 million dollars. This is definitely the largest of your founding companies."
"Remember, it's the founding company, not a stake in another company."
"Furthermore, you have built a huge industrial park specifically for LinkedIn. According to your character of not seeing rabbits and flying eagles, I am very sure that you have certain ideas about LinkedIn's rapid profitability."
"Do not!"
"Perhaps...I underestimated you!"
"Do you already have a concrete plan to make LinkedIn profitable?!"
Bezos stared at Zhuke closely, trying to find clues on his face.
However, he failed!
He didn't find the slightest information from Zhu Ke Gujing Wubo's face.
However, if no information is found, it is the greatest information!
Zhu Ke waved his hand and said with a smile: "Man, you think too much. If I had a way to make LinkedIn profitable, why would LinkedIn keep burning money?"
"is it?"
Bezos laughed, he didn't believe a word!
In fact, he guessed it right!
Don't forget, Zhuke is a traverser! From the moment when the LinkedIn company was founded, Zhu Ke had a detailed plan for the development of the LinkedIn company, including the various ways and means of future profitability. However, Zhu Ke has not allowed LinkedIn to reach this point. .
Why?
Although LinkedIn is now the leader in online recruitment and online job agency, and the company with the largest market share, there are not a few competitors of the same type that are desperately catching up!
Only in the North American market, the number of large and small online job hunting companies is not less than 100!
"As long as you can truly become the dominant player in this industry and have a market share of more than 80%, will it not be easy to make money by then?"
"In a word, as long as you defeat and crush your opponents in the entire industry, then you have the final say in this market!"
What Zhu Ke's LinkedIn company has to do at this moment is to sweep the entire online job hunting industry and kick out all potential and competitive opponents!
"Ha ha!"
Bezos smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I also understand that you just want to have more say in the future B and C rounds of financing!"
Zhu Ke retorted: "Man, those Amazon shareholders, isn't that how you pitted you?"
The boss doesn't talk about the second.
Bezos is also an out-and-out, very cunning fox in business!
Think about it, too. Is it easy for a man who has not been able to beat Bill Gates on his personal wealth and have reached the top of the world's richest man for several consecutive years?
Zhuke and Bezos are true friends, or very close friends, but...In a business environment, even your best friend may be your biggest competitor!
Next, intentionally or unconsciously, the two of them jumped off the topic of LinkedIn and turned to Amazon.
Amazon~
For Amazon, Zhuke and Bezos are now doing the same thing, which is to acquire as many shares of Amazon as possible from shareholders, primary markets, and secondary markets.
till now:
Bezos's stake in Amazon has reached 23.9%.
The share of this share is definitely not low. You know, before the Internet bubble burst, Bezos's stake in Amazon was only 21.9%.
A full 2% increase in the proportion of shares!
That is to say, Amazon is now deeply affected by the Internet environment, and its market value has been greatly damaged. Otherwise, this is a big business of at least several billion dollars.
In the future, this 2% of shares will be tens of billions of dollars based on Amazon's trillion-dollar market value!
"Zuke, you have a lot of shares. It seems to have reached 12.1%, right? Good guy, it's 4.1% more than before you sold Amazon stocks. You are more ruthless than me!" Bezos curled his lips. .
Zhuke smiled.
The boss doesn't talk about the second child~
As allies, Zhuke and Bezos obviously occupy the most delicious part of Amazon's cake.
The two have made a lot of money, there is no doubt that they do not accept rebuttal!
Don’t ask, you just don’t know!
........
That night.
It was also the last night that Zucker stayed in Seattle during this trip.
Felix Luca, the senior vice president of Adidas, is very excited.
"He is finally willing to see me again!"
The proposal to acquire or buy a stake in Under Armour has almost become Luca's obsession.
Since 1999, Luca has paid attention to Under Armour, and has been paying attention to it for almost a year. Subsequently, he has repeatedly proposed the acquisition of Under Armour on the company's board of directors.
Since then, he has continuously collected information on Under Armour, the parent company Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, and Zhu Ke himself.
During this period, he paid a lot of effort!
At this moment, he and Zhuke are sitting opposite each other in a restaurant in downtown Seattle.
"Mr. Wald, please trust the sincerity of our Adidas. As long as you can accept our shareholding in Under Armour, then I act as an intermediary and serve as the link between the two companies. I assure you that I will convince the board of directors from Product technology, product sales channels, sports spokesperson information and other aspects give Under Armour tremendous support!"
Luca's tone was very sincere.
To be honest, Zhuke can also clearly and clearly feel the sincerity of Adidas.
but!
Zhuke shook his head and said, "Luca, you are right. I am also very moved, but I still choose to refuse you."
"This, this, why is this?" Luca was mad.
Regarding the investment in Under Armour ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Luca asked himself, the sincerity he gave is definitely the dream of countless sporting goods companies, and it is hard to refuse.
However, he didn't know that Zhu Ke was a traverser!
Zucker said suddenly: "Lucca, you know, I have a Manchester City team in the Premier League, and I am now planning to acquire an NBA team. In the future, I will acquire another American League football team to establish A professional sports operating company."
"This......"
Luca was shocked!
Zhu Ke: "This future large-scale sports operation company still lacks a CEO. I don't know if you are willing to take up the position of CEO!"
Luca: "......"
"" The first update is sent.
