readx(); The next morning, Feng Yu went out for a run and walked his dog. In the community, he met many people who might be neighbors, but they all stayed away from Feng Yu, because when Feng Yu was running, he was also walking. With two bodyguards!
Community residents already know that a rich man, a shareholder and director of Microsoft, lives here. It seems that bringing two bodyguards is nothing for such a rich man. But since you are so rich, it would be great to just buy a manor. Why do you want to live here with us
Especially what they couldn't figure out was that this rich man was so young and an Oriental. Everything revealed a mystery, and Feng Yu didn't know that he had been targeted by many young women.
They don't have high requirements. They don't necessarily have to marry Feng Yu. Even if they can only get in touch with Feng Yu, and then use Feng Yu's connections to make a name for themselves, they will be satisfied. The rumored girlfriend of a Microsoft director, can she still be popular
They saw Feng Yu running with a puppy, so they thought of the best way to strike up a conversation.
…
After breakfast, Ralph also came, gave an address and asked the driver to drive there.
After getting off the car, Feng Yu shook his head. Is this Amazon, the second-ranked Internet company in his previous life? Too damn shabby, right
He was curious, this office could be smaller, but what about the warehouse? Those who sell books on Amazon must always have inventory. Doesn’t it claim that there are hundreds of thousands of books to choose from online? There should be at least tens of millions of books in stock. Where are they
Seeming to see Feng Yu's doubts, Ralph explained in a low voice: "Boss, there is a storage area over there, rented by Amazon. Their books are stored there and shipped twice a day at noon and evening. ."
"Well, I understand, let's go in."
Several people walked in, especially the bodyguard in a black suit. Everyone in the Amazon was stunned. Who is this person and what is he here for
"Excuse me, what can I do for you?" asked the front desk.
"Go and notify your boss, Jeff, that the person he's waiting for is here," said Ralph.
Before the front desk even called, Jeff quickly walked over from the innermost office: "Is it Mr. Feng?"
When Jeff came to his side, Feng Yu slowly stretched out his hand and touched Jeff's hands: "Hello, I am Feng."
"Mr. Feng, please come in quickly. Katie, prepare coffee."
The moment he saw Feng Yu, Jeff was a little distracted. Fortunately, he was a little far away from Feng Yu at that time, so Feng Yu didn't notice him.
It was rumored that Microsoft had a director from the East, and he was extremely young. They didn't take this seriously at first, but now he discovered that this rumor was actually true!
The East is indeed a mysterious place, and there are actually such young people with such wealth!
"Mr. Feng, I heard from your secretary that you are somewhat interested in my company?" Jeff asked straight to the point.
Feng Yu looked at Jeff with a smile: "That's not entirely true. I am not only interested in your company, but also in you. How did you come up with the idea of selling books online?"
"I am a person who loves books, but I found that although there are many types of books to choose from in bookstores, no bookstore can cover all the books. Moreover, people in bookstores cannot quickly find what customers want. books. I just want to make a website like this so that customers can find the books they are looking for as quickly as possible on my website, and I can provide customers with far more choices than ordinary physical bookstores."
Ralph looked at Jeff in surprise, and then at the boss. Why was this statement the same as what the boss said yesterday
"Well, that's a good idea. So according to your estimates, how long will it take for Amazon to be profitable? And in the end, how much profit do you think it can achieve?"
"It takes five years to build a customer base and reputation. After five years, it will start to make profits. The profit in one year will not be less than 10 million US dollars!" Jeff said confidently.
There was a look of disdain on Ralph's face. It would take five years to make a profit, so wouldn't the payback period be too long? Five years later, the annual profit will only be 10 million US dollars. This investment will only be made by those old men who want stability. The boss will be very disappointed.
Would a rich man like the boss waste his brains just to make this little money? It seems that this investment is going to be ruined.
"Jeff, haven't you ever thought that your business plan is too conservative? It will take five years to start making a profit. The profit of ten million US dollars you mentioned is the highest, right? What if you still can't make a profit after five years? ? Or the profit is only a few million dollars, what should you do?" Feng Yu asked again.
Jeff was not afraid that Feng Yu would ask too many questions, but he was afraid that Feng Yu would not ask anything. The more questions you ask, the more interested you are.
"I am confident that we will be profitable in five years. As for the profit, I cannot guarantee this. But after our customer base matures, we can also sell peripheral products, everything related to books, such as bookmarks, pens, etc. For example, notebooks and other stationery supplies, and then expand little by little.”
"So, what you ultimately want to do is an online department store? Do you know how much money it will cost to invest? And how risky is it?" Feng Yu crossed his legs. Sure enough, Amazon will still follow the trajectory of its previous life. Go ahead.
"No, it's just book peripherals. Of course, if the user base is stable, it's not impossible to develop in other directions." Jeff said.
Feng Yu raised his eyebrows. He didn't want to build an online mall. So the current idea is not mature yet. Is the online department store that appeared in the previous life the product of development to a certain stage
"How much is your company's registered capital? How many shareholders does it have? Does it have a board of directors?" Feng Yu asked.
"My company has a registered capital of 30 million US dollars, 16 shareholders, and a board of directors, seven in total. I am the chairman."
The registered capital is only US$30 million? The investment is not very high. Feng Yu has now planned to invest in this Amazon, even if it is just investing in this person, or doing experiments on Amazon, Feng Yu feels that it is not a loss.
"I'm very interested in your company and want to inject capital. Don't get excited. I'm not a venture capital investor. What I want is voting equity. You can convene a board of directors to discuss whether to accept my investment."
"Mr. Feng, can I ask how much you plan to invest?" Jeff asked tentatively.
"Three to five million is not too much, and three to five million is not too little. I said, I am interested in the company, but I am more optimistic about you as a person. I am here to help you realize your dream!" Feng Yu began to give Jie The husband poured chicken soup.
Jeff was so moved by Feng Yu's words that he almost shed tears. Look at what people say, those greedy investors only want to make money.
"Mr. Feng, I promise to convince the board of directors and will give you a reply as soon as possible. Three days, within three days, I will give you a satisfactory reply!" (To be continued.)
