Chapter 66

For Seattle, Li Feng in his previous life heard the name for the first time because the Seattle SuperSonics once competed for a championship with the bull Dynasty of Jordan the great in the late 1990s.

Don't blame Li Feng for his ignorance. Li Feng is an orphan in his teens. It's good to know Seattle.

Later, with Microsoft dominating the global operating system and the powerful Boeing company, Li Feng learned more about the city of Seattle. Although Microsoft is not in downtown Seattle, it is not far away.

As the commercial and cultural capital of HSD state, Seattle has been rated as the most beautiful and livable city in the United States for many times.

Seattle has a temperate marine climate. The minimum temperature is above 0 degrees throughout the year. Therefore, it is difficult to see snow. At the same time, the maximum temperature is below 30 degrees. It is very suitable for people to live, that is, it is rainy and humid.

No, after more than two hours of flight, Li Feng walked out of the airport and was greeted by a drizzle. It was a welcome ceremony for Li Feng, the first person in Seattle, which made Li Feng, who was used to the sunshine in California, feel uncomfortable.

After leaving the airport, I took a taxi directly and headed for the office space rented by Bezos, the location of the current res... Online book station on the outskirts of Seattle.

......

After getting out of the taxi, he looked up at the logo of Cadabra online book station (well, I haven't seen the Amazon logo yet) and looked at the spacious garage. Li Feng couldn't help scolding. Damn the so-called "garage culture".

Well, Amazon has also inherited many corporate traditions and was founded in a garage on the outskirts of Seattle.

Li Feng also had no contact. He took Zach directly into the open garage. After entering, he saw the server buzzing, and there were only three staff in the whole garage.

When they saw Li Feng walking into the garage, they all turned and looked at Li Feng. At the same time, Li Feng recognized the young version of Jeff Bezos at a glance.

At this time, Bezos was only in his early 30s and had a head of hair, which was not the famous bald head image of later generations.

"Hello, Mr. Jeff Bezos. I'm angel investor St. John Lee. This is my private lawyer Zach John. We contacted yesterday. Nice to meet you."

"Hi, Hello, Mr. Li and Mr. John. I'm Jeff Bezos. Welcome to the two."

Sure enough, hearing Li Feng's self introduction, the three people in the garage were in a hurry. Then Bezos said hello with great grace and introduced the remaining two people. One employee was shelkapan and another was his wife.

......

Bezos was once a member of the elite of Wall Street. Therefore, he soon talked and laughed with Li Feng, introduced the situation since the operation of his online book station, and took out a long prepared business plan.

In general, Bezos and his wife took out all their savings and set up their own company in 1994, officially starting their entrepreneurial career.

The current online book station can barely maintain operation, but it is estimated that it will not last long without external support.

It's not easy to invest at this time, and it's a small website like a book buying website. The era of online shopping really belongs to the wilderness in the wilderness period.

In the business plan, Li Feng read it a little, mainly about the convenience of online book purchase and the book market prospect of Meidi. As for those online shopping in future generations, there is no concept of b2bb2c.

However, in the plan, Bezos already has a basic business philosophy. In the plan, he emphasizes the importance of network distribution and logistics, saying that if it develops smoothly, he hopes to build his own logistics distribution center and data center in the future.

......

Li Feng from later generations certainly knows the dependence of online shopping on logistics distribution and the importance of logistics distribution center and data center.

We also know that Amazon will not make any profit in the next 10 years, and the money will be used to build its own logistics distribution center and data center.

Li Feng is well aware of the importance of cloud technology and data center in the so-called big data era in later generations. Therefore, he agrees with Bezos's concept.

Bezos was also happy to hear Li Feng's support for the future preparation of distribution centers and data centers. After all, if investors can agree with their ideas, there will be a lot less unnecessary trouble in the future.

The point that Amazon has been criticized by Wall Street in future generations is that Amazon has hardly made much profit. Every time the financial report comes out, it means how much it has earned but how much it has spent. Many shareholders have not seen dividends.

When their ideas were the same, Bezos was also excited, and then he was very excited to tell Li Feng what his envisaged webbook station should be, etc.

According to the venture capital process, this early communication is actually a necessary stage of investment. Both sides need to understand in order to make the next work more smooth.

......

"Jeff, since I have come to Seattle from Los Angeles today, it means that I am very interested in what you said. However, business is business. Jeff, you should be very clear about the current situation of the company. How much do you think your current company can be worth?"

"John, now that you have come here, I think you should know something about my company. What do you think?" Hearing Li Feng's question, Jeff Bezos regained his shrewdness as an elite on Wall Street and asked back.

"Jeff, let's say I invested in Yahoo at the beginning of the year." At this time, Li Feng turned off the topic and turned to his own investment in Yahoo.

"Yahoo?"

"Yes, it's Yahoo."

"OhMyGod, John, that's a beautiful investment." Jeff Bezos said with envy when he heard that Li Feng had invested in Yahoo.

As a former Wall Street elite, he has a strong desire to pursue wealth. When he heard that Li Feng invested in Yahoo, Bezos, who is now an Internet employee, of course knows what this means, so he is naturally a little envious.

......

"Jeff, I told you that I am a shareholder of Yahoo, not to show off, but to help you.

Yahoo, you should also understand that it is the introduction to the Internet at present, and there are more and more websites included in Yahoo's search directory, but there seems to be no book buying website.

I can help you, let Yahoo directory include your website, I think this way, your website will be able to let a large number of Internet users see, as for what it means, I think you should be very clear. "

“What？” Bezos was surprised to hear that Li Feng could let Yahoo's website directly include his own website.

"Of course, why not?"

"John, I don't think Yahoo will include my website for long. After all, there are few such book buying websites on the Internet."

Bezos saw Li Feng smiling at himself and immediately worried that this was Li Feng's threat to lower the price or get more shares.

In fact, Li Feng really has such an idea. In fact, Li Feng wants more shares. After all, he can get Amazon shares in advance. This is a big business.

......

"Jeff, you should know that you are not the only one who buys books online. Although you may be the best and the first one I contact, it doesn't mean that I have to invest in you, does it?"

In fact, although later generations have always said that Amazon has opened online shopping, in fact, there is really more than one book buying website on the Internet at this time, and there is competition everywhere, but the others finally disappeared.

It can be said that because he has become a shareholder of Yahoo, Yahoo can become a tool used by Li Feng in the early stage of the Internet.

After all, the first choice for most people to go online is YAHOO website. This is what caused YAHOO's popularity after the bubble, and also led to a rise in YAHOO's market value.

Li Feng looked at the contemplative Bezos at this time, but his heart was very high. Looking at Jeff Bezos now, he had the ability to crush him.

I thought, even if you don't do anything in future generations, you still have to come to my bowl.
