Vol 6 Chapter 114: The new normal of mutual penetration

"That's it," Feng Yiping said, after being silent for a while, looking at Bezos, "Will this be the norm when we meet?"

Bezos also fell silent. He looked at the employees who came and went in a hurry below, "Maybe, it's really unavoidable,"

At the beginning, the relationship between him and Feng Yiping should be said to be very harmonious.

Feng Yiping likes many of Amazon's ideas, especially admiring their insistence on investing heavily in scientific research.

And Bezos also admired this exotic young man.

Admire his vision, admire his knowledge, admire his keenness.

Whether it’s the blue ocean strategy, which sublimates some examples to theory, or big data and cloud computing, systematically portrays and defines some hot areas in the future, and points out their application directions in various industries...people who can do this ,not much.

In particular, he is not just a short theorist, he is also a successful entrepreneur.

He is a young entrepreneur who can easily get the best conditions from himself in cooperation.

Amazon also has many energetic and talented young people. In these years, Bezos has also come into contact with too many outstanding young people on the way to start a business. But in Feng Yiping's age group, there is no one who can compare with him. .

When he was communicating with some people, he occasionally talked about Feng Yiping. Although everyone didn’t say it clearly, he could feel that many people had the same emotion as him, "I really hope that when I was young, I looked like him. ,"

If a woman has no envy for such a woman, only jealousy and hate, but men are different.

Although everyone mainly considers their own interests in business cooperation, in private, they admire Feng Yiping.

This appreciation does not mean that their ability or strength is superior to Feng Yiping, but a group of guys who are at least 25 years older than Feng Yiping and appreciate young people.

Or it can be said that they are sympathetic and sympathetic.

It is not easy for Bezos to meet someone like this for those who have gotten so old and achieved achievements.

Although they would not resort to lip service, they cherished a friend like Feng Yiping, who also refers to his youth.

But now, the relationship between them is already somewhat subtle.

Feng Yiping also knows that the relationship between them is inevitably a bit subtle now.

Although the first contact with Amazon was not very pleasant, but after meeting with Bezos, they chatted very speculatively, related cooperation, very smooth and deep.

But now, after all, he is the largest shareholder of China's largest e-commerce company, and Bezos's Amazon is currently the most popular e-commerce company in the United States.

From the perspective of Feng Yiping's layout, he obviously will not give up the US market, and from the perspective of Bezos' actions, he is not without ambitions for the Chinese market.

And this ambition is now being curbed by Feng Yiping.

Whitman's eBay's expansion in China can be said to have fallen into the sand, and in the end it was simply packaged and sold, and the situation of Rebs' Joyo.com acquired by Bezos was not much better.

He and Bezos, can now be said to be a real competitor relationship.

Hearing unfavorable news from competitors, that is, bad news from Bezos, can be said to be normal in the market.

"However, work is work," Bezos said.

"Haha, yes," Feng Yiping, who rarely drinks in the office, got up and poured a glass of wine, "Work is work,"

"Fuck," "Fuck," the two touched.

"Then I will tell you the bad news directly," Bezos said. "As an IMDB shareholder, you will know the news sooner or later, but I still want to tell you by the way when I come to Silicon Valley this time."

"The opinion of many people is that we should provide visitors with free online viewing of movies and TV series on IMDB," he said.

"No need to download, watch online?" Feng Yiping asked.

"Yes, watch online. If you can't watch a movie on IMDB, you can watch it on Amazon," Bezos said.

"What about the scale?" Feng Yiping continued to ask.

"Movies and TV series, at least 10,000," Bezos said, "We will also allow other independent film producers who cooperate with us to provide video content in IMDB, and we will selectively play some of them."

"Hehe, this is really your style," Feng Yiping smiled.

In fact, in terms of online DVD sales, Amazon was originally a strong competitor of Netflix. Now, it can be said that the two sides will start to compete directly in the field of streaming media.

Moreover, Amazon is still free.

"Will these free content be relatively old?" Feng Yiping asked.

"Haha, yes," Bezos laughed twice, "mainly classic old movies,"

Feng Yiping knew that he would spend money to buy the copyright and put it on the Internet for free viewing. Neither Bezos nor Amazon would do such a thing.

"One more thing, this project, after its launch, will only target our users in the United States for a long time."

"Even if I have not set foot in the e-commerce field, and you have not acquired IMDB, when our company develops to a certain level, we will inevitably have competition, not in this field, but in another field, so "," Feng Yiping said, "this is not bad news,"

"At least, I was prepared for such news,"

"You don't have to answer me, but I know that Amazon will have a layout for self-made content next?" He looked at Bezos and asked.

Bezos did not return to this question head-on, but said, "I very much agree with what you just said."

That is, there will inevitably be competition, so that is certain.

At this time, Hollywood and major TV stations cannot predict that Netflix will be their biggest competitor in the future, and Hastings and others will not expect e-commerce like Amazon to become their biggest in the future. Competitors.

But Feng Yiping knew it early on.

"Fortunately, this market is large enough. We especially welcome companies with aspirations and pursuits like Amazon to enter the streaming media field and work with us to change the existing film and television landscape."

"I'm glad to hear you say that," Bezos took another sip.

"But Bezos, you have to be prepared. Neither Netflix nor YouTube will be an easy competitor," Feng Yiping said.

"I know, I know, how can they be easy to deal with with you? Similarly, we can't be underestimated, right?" Bezos said.

"Haha," "Haha," both of them laughed.

"Well, I should also say the good news," Bezos straightened up. "We plan to add an option to give friends and family gifts to the website. We hope to cooperate with Facebook in this regard."

"That is, Facebook users can see their friends’ shopping lists on Amazon.com, or their wish lists, and will receive email reminders when their friends’ birthdays or related anniversaries come, so that they can Buy the gifts your friends like in time?" Feng Yiping said immediately.

Bezos looked at Feng Yiping in a daze, "That's right, of course, the wish list of friends may also be recommended by us based on his historical data."

"Feng, why are you so clear about this issue? Have you ever thought about similar issues?"

"Please, is this a difficult question to understand?" Feng Yiping said, "how do I feel that this is also not good news? Is this a sign of your intention to enter the social field?"

"Why ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Isn't the famous Mr. Feng worried that we will compete with you in the social field after having a successful product like Facebook?"

"I just think, why are so many people coveting the field we are involved in?" Feng Yiping said.

"That's because you have a very good vision, and the fields you are involved in are the most promising fields in the future," Bezos said. "Aren't you involved in other fields? It seems that you launched on DOOR. Group buying is not like getting involved in e-commerce."

"Also, after hearing what you said, I feel that the cooperation we propose also provides Facebook with an opportunity to enter e-commerce, doesn't it?"

"Haha," Feng Yiping stood up, "future problems, let me talk about it in the future, your proposal is very good, as long as the price is right, Facebook will naturally do it, now, let me show you around the park,"

"Tonight, you pushed all other arrangements. I invite you to have dinner in Man Tingfang," he said without a doubt. "I still have a lot of questions. It's a rare visit for you. I still have a lot of questions. You discuss,"
