Chapter 1440 Yang Ming named Amazon himself!

Yang Ming takes a fancy to Bezos' ability, just like Steve Jobs of Apple or Ellison of Oracle.

"Mr. Bezos, since you and your wife can establish such an online bookstore, how about an in-depth discussion with you about e-commerce?"

As Bezos stood there and listened carefully, the more he listened, the more surprised he became, and the more he listened, the more shocked he became.

He thought he already understood e-commerce.

Now, it seems that I have only scratched the surface.

Thinking of Sir Yang's predictions and understanding of the Internet, he knew that Sir Yang and the Imperial Group were indeed much more powerful than he imagined.

If the Imperial Group also invests in e-commerce on a large scale, I am afraid that I and my wife will have no chance of becoming bigger.

"Sir Yang, I really admire your understanding of e-commerce."

“In the future, e-commerce and physical stores will coexist.”

Yang Ming knows that physical stores cannot and will not disappear. However, in the future, e-commerce will further devour more of the physical store market.

It is precisely in this way that so many e-commerce giants and companies of all sizes have emerged.

Because in the future, the Internet will make people’s lives more and more convenient.

"Mr. Bezos, what would you do if I were to acquire your company?"

Acquire his company?

Bezos never thought his company would be acquired so soon?

After all, he and his wife's company are not in any good shape yet.

However, Yang Ming added: "Actually, your company is nothing. What I really value is your ability. If you are willing to sell the company to the Imperial Group, I will buy it for US$100 million." 80% of the shares and the remaining 20% ​​are still owned by you and your wife. However, the only condition is that you must stay in the company and manage the company. Otherwise, if I acquire your company, you will leave and set up a similar company again. , then it makes no sense.”

In other words, Yang Ming is equivalent to investing US$100 million in Bezos.

In 1995, $100 million was still very valuable.

In other words, as long as Bezos agrees, he will immediately become a new billionaire in Country M and even the world.

In addition, he will own 20% of the company.

If there is the support of Sir Yang and Imperial Group, Bezos believes that this company will definitely develop faster.

But Bezos was anything but shocked.

He thought for a while and said: "Sir Yang, I want to go back and discuss it with my wife before making a decision."

"no problem."

Now Bezos doesn't have much money, so he naturally doesn't look far.

However, in Yang Ming's previous life, Bezos led Amazon to become a global e-commerce giant with a market value of several trillion US dollars, and the other party has also been the world's richest man for a long time.

The Bezos of that time was, of course, completely different from the Bezos of now.

Now Bezos, he is thinking that Sir Yang actually values ​​himself so much.

He really didn't expect that he was actually worth $100 million.

Because Sir Yang made it very clear just now that if it weren't for him, he would not have paid this purchase price.

In other words, if Bezos is unwilling to do things for him, then he and his company, Imperial Group, will naturally not acquire it.

. . .

Ou Zhiqiang sent Bezos back to the Oriental Mandarin Hotel.

There at the hotel.

It was still night in Seattle at this time, but there was no news about his wife Mackenzie.

Bezos did not bring his mobile phone, but directly picked up the hotel phone and made an international long-distance call to his wife in Seattle.

"Ma'am, it's me."

"Bezos, did you have fun in Xiangjiang?" MacKenzie asked over there.

These days, Bezos has been sharing his days in Hong Kong with his wife.

Makes Mackenzie want to visit Xiangjiang.

"Madam, I have something very important to tell you."

When Bezos talked about what Yang Ming just said.

In other words, Sir Yang can acquire the Bezos and his wife's company, or for $100 million, but Bezos needs to continue to manage the company.

If Bezos is unwilling, Imperial and Sir Yang may not finance the Bezos and their company.

The most important thing is to make Bezos very clear that Imperial Group and Sir Yang are too powerful, and their understanding of e-commerce is far beyond their scope.

In other words, in this case, if you cannot become a partner, you will definitely be an e-commerce rival in the future.

Facing the Imperial Group and Sir Yang, Bezos really has no confidence.

On the contrary, if they can use the funds of Sir Yang and Imperial Group, their company will definitely develop faster.

"Bezos, it seems Sir Yang values ​​you very much, but how does he know you exist?"

Although Bezos graduated from Princeton University, a prestigious school in M ​​country.

However, there are many graduates from prestigious schools like Country M. Why did Sir Yang choose him?

This is what MacKenzie, Mrs. Bezos, finds strangest.

"Madam, I don't know. However, I always feel that Sir Yang is not a simple person. He seems to know many things. As far as e-commerce is concerned, his understanding of e-commerce far exceeds our imagination. This time When I came to Xiangjiang, Sir Yang’s words meant far more to me than what I learned in those years at university.”

"Then how do you decide? Are you going to sell the company to the Imperial Group?"

Sir Yang spent US$100 million to acquire 80% of their company's shares, which means that Imperial Group is the majority shareholder of their company, and they can only be the second shareholder.

However, the management power is in their hands.

Moreover, Sir Yang made it very clear that Bezos is the person he likes.

If there is no other party, then there is no point in acquiring the other party's company.

"Madam, if we agree, we will become billionaires in Country M."

In fact, 100 million U.S. dollars, no matter in any era, is definitely one of the major wealthy people, especially in the 1990s. After getting this 100 million U.S. dollars, even if they don’t need to invest in anything, they can use it to buy stocks, or Bonds are what make them financially free.

"You decide for yourself," McKenzie said.

Although Mackenzie is also a strong woman, she can see that her husband already has this idea.

After all, the Imperial Group is a huge tree. If you have the opportunity to climb such a tree, why give up?

"Madam, do you agree or disagree?"

"If you agree, I agree. If you object, I will object."

In other words, if a husband and wife are united, their power will break through metal.

"Then I'll think it through today."

For Bezos, he really needs to think it through.

. . .

after one day.

Early the next day.

Bezos took a car with Albert Ou again to the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa to meet Sir Yang.

Last night, Bezos had thought it through.

In fact, no matter from which point of view, he felt that it was beneficial to him. In addition to taking money, he also has 20% of the shares, and the management rights of the company are also in his hands.

Therefore, Bezos had no possibility of refusing.

When Yang Ming met Bezos, he knew that Bezos had thought it through.

Go up to the study room on the third floor.

"Mr. Bezos, have you thought this through?"

"Sir Yang, I agree to your terms of acquiring our company."

In other words, Imperial Group will acquire the unknown Cadabra online bookstore company of the Bezos couple for US$100 million.

This English name is translated into Chinese as Kadabra.

This name is a mouthful, and it definitely doesn’t sound as good as Amazon.

"Bezos, in the future of this company, online bookstores are just one of them. In the future, there will be thousands of products. Therefore, I suggest that the company change its name."

Change a new company name?

Bezos thinks that Kadabra is really bad.

"Sir Yang, please name the new company yourself."

As long as he agrees to sell the company to the Imperial Group, it means that this company will belong to the Imperial Group, and the new boss will be Sir Yang.

"Call Amazon.com."

Amazon.com?

Bezos was surprised.

Why is it called Amazon?

In fact, the Amazon River is one of the most famous rivers in the world. The Amazon Primeval Forest is also the world's largest tropical rainforest and the world's largest primeval forest. It breeds species from all over the world. This represents the future of this company. That is It couldn't be more appropriate.

"Sir Yang, this is such a good name!"
