Vol 4 Chapter 246: Home delivery

♂,

Feng Yiping frowned, "Amazon is buying again?" Bezos' bright brain immediately appeared in front of him, as if it was really suitable for playing him a few loud and crisp!

Even if the hand hurts because of this, it is worth it.

Does he still think he can give up nextdoor? The point is, does he still think he is more capable of running nextdoor than himself?

Then he is really outside the long pavilion, beside the old road, with grassy sky.

"No," Mike immediately understood that the boss had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained, "What they hope to acquire this time is our little software."

"Oh!" Feng Yiping was double embarrassed. It turned out that he had mistakenly blamed Comrade Lao Bei who was getting smarter and less hair on his head.

In addition, that little software, hehe, it was developed for the purpose of blocking Amazon. I hope that more Amazon users can apply for refunds.

Now, they actually want to buy this software, so what, it should be a bit embarrassing, but why is it good to rush?

"Then you can make an appointment with them, I will inform Cummins,"

Businessmen who play money are all able to calm down. Cummins watched Feng Yiping from the side and was first annoyed, then relieved, and then a little embarrassed in secret joy... If you can make so many kinds in such a short time Expression, and each is very real, then he must be the best actor in the Oscar level.

But Feng Yiping didn't say anything, so he didn't ask, until now he mentioned his name, he asked, "What can I do?"

"A few months ago, we developed a small software, um, mainly to compare prices, and now Amazon wants to buy this software,"

Cummins' heart turned like electricity, and he immediately understood why Feng Yiping's expression changed so much.

He heard about Amazon’s confidential and unsuccessful acquisition application, and he also knew Amazon’s unwritten rule, that is, as long as you buy its own products, you can apply for price protection if the price changes before the order is received. , Refund and make up the difference.

Moreover, in actual operation, this period can be extended. It is proposed one week after receipt of the goods, but it can also be approved, which is also very common.

Nextdoor has developed such a software, which is definitely very targeted. It turns out that this Chinese boy who has always been gentle, humble and polite in the outside world is also such a hateful person in private?

However, hehe, he likes this kind of character. In the shopping mall, someone slaps your left cheek, and you send the right cheek up to the person who will soon be gnawed away.

Those business figures who are enthusiastic about charity in public, and even tear their eyes when they mention disadvantaged groups. Who has not brought down a dozen, dozens, or more companies?

"I understand, I will contact Mike," Cummins didn't ask Feng Yiping what he thought of this matter. It was too foreign and unprofessional.

This matter happens to be within the scope of one's own responsibility, of course, to handle it yourself.

"The vertical integration you mentioned just now, I think it's good. In this way, you ask your department or commission a special organization to issue such a survey report, the future development trend of the lithium battery industry, and the supply pattern of lithium and cobalt in the world. According to this report, look at whether we need to integrate lithium and cobalt suppliers."

"At the same time, we can also determine in what way we will integrate, whether to acquire related companies to participate in the operation, or simply invest in related companies to offset our procurement costs,"

Vertical integration is also very fashionable when the competition becomes more and more fierce.

In fact, established foreign companies have long been conducting relevant integrations, but domestic companies have not had this awareness for a long time.

Only when I was forced to do it as a last resort, for example, before selling steel and pork to make money, did I think about integrating mining companies, but only then discovered that it was too late and too late to get in at all.

The steel companies in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea that have been reducing production have long already participated in mining companies and have formed alliances. Several lines of defense have long been built in business and politics.

Even if a business opportunity is seized and a part of the shares can be acquired, the political circles will come forward to plug this hole and declare the acquisition invalid.

Or honestly go back and make money at a loss, and try to create profits for us. I want to learn that we make money at the source, huh, let alone the door, there are no windows.

Feng Yiping doesn't want to work hard to enlarge the lithium battery sector, and then get stuck at the source, or reluctantly create huge profits for his opponents.

He believes that Japanese companies like Panasonic must have already started such a plan, or have already taken action.

"Okay Feng, I will start this work right away," Cummins said.

"In this case, Cummins, you simply sort out the supply chain of the group. I also had some considerations before. For example, the group's demand for logs is very large now, and it will become larger and larger in the foreseeable future. I also thought about it. Is it possible to buy a piece of rainforest to build our own forest farm in South America, but these considerations of mine are too scattered and unsystematic,"

"For relevant information, you can directly contact Mr. Jin."

"No problem," Cummins, who just joined, is not too much. On the contrary, he really has to worry if he doesn't have his own abilities.

But soon, he discovered that his thoughts were absolutely groundless and worrying, and his boss was really willing and daring to let go.

Feng Yiping is obviously here to talk about Xing, or someone who has finally taken over some things, he can’t wait to get rid of the related baggage. He tilted his legs and turned to Cummins and said, “Just do another job together. From the perspective of vertical integration, do you think it is necessary for the company to acquire those companies and also issue a report,"

Of course, vertical integration will not only be used in the supply chain, but also in the industrial chain.

At this point, the opposite of vertical integration is parallel integration. For example, Youjia's acquisition of Jiamei and the merger of two convenience stores are parallel integration.

Jiasheng Furniture Company is benchmarking IKEA's hypermarket, and that is vertical integration.

In fact, Feng Yiping has been doing this. The vertical integration of the industry chain to the end is what Feng Yiping has always pursued to form an ecological circle.

Apple is a vertical integration of two aspects, both of which are doing very well.

"Ok, it's just," Cummins immediately felt that the task was too heavy and he had too few staff.

"You report to the human resources department, and they will arrange it," Feng Yiping clearly understood his difficulties.

…………

"Jeff," is still Andy Wilk, who came to nextdoor to propose the acquisition last time. He is personally responsible for this acquisition. However, this time, he has some different opinions, "Is it necessary to acquire? We can't. To develop similar software,"

"Yes, of course we can make software with similar functions ourselves," Bezos temporarily stopped the work at hand and glanced out the window. "But, I know this young man better than you, believe me, is his cheaper? It's so good,"

After the last talk, Bezos fully believed that taking Feng Yiping's small advantage, in the near future, it may not even be used soon, and will soon suffer a big loss-that young man must have that ability.

"So, we are still generous this time, and I guess they won't be too demanding this time,"

Although he did not understand Bezos's conclusion very well, Andy, who had questioned him once, was very wise not to question the second time, "Then I will go personally,"

Bezos nodded, then immediately changed his face and looked at the executives on the side, "Why don't our relevant departments think of such an idea?"

…………

Nextdoor, Andy Wilk looked at Feng Yiping and stretched out his hand from afar, "Hello Mr. Feng,"

Not only was he polite, but all the people he brought stood up immediately, looking respectful.

Cummins looked at it and felt that his choice of joining Jiasheng was indeed very magnificent.

He has heard Mike's briefing and knows that this Andy Wilk, at Amazon, does the same job as he did at Jiasheng. He is so respectful to Feng Yiping and can explain the problem.

Of course, Wilk personally took the initiative to acquire a small software, which can already explain some problems.

It seems that although his own boss is young, his status in the industry is already very lofty.

"Hello Andy, it's nice to meet you," Feng Yiping smiled and held Andy's hand.

He is really happy to meet Andy.

It was the first time he came to the company. Although Feng Yiping, who was in the raging capital city, could not meet him, his offer proved the value of nextdoor from the side, or it gave nextdoor a quantitative measure. Numerical value.

This time I came here, and it was also a gift. It really deserves a warm reception.

Andy can also feel Feng Yiping's enthusiasm from his heart, and he also understands the reason why Feng Yiping is so enthusiastic, "Bezos asked me to greet you on his behalf,"

He is so respectful and enthusiastic towards Feng Yiping, mainly because of his boss Bezos.

After Feng Yiping visited the boss last time, the boss, who has always been very tight-lipped in negotiations, has offered preferential conditions to many small companies in terms of cooperation with Coin Star-actually a full 8 points of profit.

In addition, it is said that many employees have witnessed it. After the meeting, Bezos personally sent Feng downstairs.

These are enough to show his appreciation and respect for this young man.

If those can't explain the problem, then Bezos' decision this time is enough to explain the problem.

"Thank you, please also convey my greetings to him, this is Cummins," Feng Yiping introduced, "You can talk to him about the specific conditions."

"Hello," Andy shook his hand with Cummins. From this person, he felt the same breath, and he seemed to see his shadow. Such a familiar opponent, Andy Wilk welcomes everyone. The routines are similar, easy to deal with.

How to make concessions, how much? They will all have the same judgment.

If Feng Yiping were going to talk to him in person, he would really have no idea.

"Feng, in addition to price comparison software, you know, Bezos is very interested in the movie discussion and rating section of nextdoor," Andy Wilk said.

"Haha, you know this, and Jeff also knows and understands that our core assets will not be sold," Feng Yiping said with a smile.

The comment section of the website really has more and more categories, and its influence is getting bigger and bigger.

For example, the movie review section has really had a big impact on Amazon's imdb.

Of course, nextdoor's movie review section is definitely not comparable to imdb in terms of the completeness of the database, but in terms of the influence of the ratings of newly released movies, there is a real trend to surpass imdb.

According to the style of Amazon and Bezos, in this case, the best choice is naturally to acquire. Of course, they also know that Feng Yiping will probably not agree to their proposal.

"It just so happens, Andy, please pass me a message to Bezos. Idol is very interested," Feng Yiping said. "Now the sales of DVDs and video tapes account for a small percentage of Amazon's overall sales, right, imdb Such a resource library is not even as effective as price comparison software in promoting sales."

"We can transfer price comparison software to Amazon~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Then this imdb, which is of little use to you, can be considered to be transferred to us? Such a database should be made more useful,"

Andy Wilk was stunned. You really are Feng Yiping like this. You always don't play the card according to common sense. We buy you, and you want to buy us. However, how can this price comparison software compare with imdb? ? "Okay, I will tell him your thoughts truthfully,"

"Well, talk about it," Feng Yiping smiled and got up, "Cummins, Andy is our old friend, Bezos and Amazon. They have always supported our work. Don't be too demanding on the relevant conditions."

"Andy, if you feel you need me to coordinate, I'll be in the front office,"

"Okay," the two parties replied at the same time, standing up to send him away.

Cummins feels that the boss is indeed powerful and can create an advantage for himself. He clearly sees that after hearing the intention to acquire imdb, Andy, the other party’s negotiator, obviously has a lot of emotional fluctuations-this is for him. Said, but a favorable condition.

"Sit down Andy," he said with a smile. (To be continued.)
