"By the way, how is the eBay website you invested in?" Feng Yu asked, remembering it.
Speaking of which, Feng Yu was depressed. At first, he asked Kirilenko to investigate network technology companies, but Kirilenko cast a wide net and actually let him invest in eBay.
And Feng Yu simply forgot about this company. When he remembered it, they no longer wanted venture capital, and the shares of some small shareholders had been acquired by Kirilenko. Now Kirilenko is eBay The second largest shareholder after the founder, other shareholders are directors and other senior executives of the company.
Fortunately, Feng Yu doesn't think Amazon will be worse than eBay. eBay is equivalent to an electronic marketplace, which is slightly different from Amazon's model.
Yi Bei was so arrogant in his previous life, didn't he fail in China? He is no match for Ali at all. eBay's model is not impossible to imitate, it is just the largest in North America for the time being.
"Ebay? It's not bad, but they just changed their CEO, and she's still a woman! I really don't know what Pierre is thinking. What can a woman do?" Kirilenko complained.
Feng Yuxin said that if it hadn't been for this woman, Yibei might not have been able to develop so well. In her previous life, she was a working queen. She served as a senior executive in several Fortune 500 companies. After leaving eBay, she became the CEO of Hewlett-Packard. You know how talented she is.
Some people even say that without her, there would be no eBay. It might have been acquired by some company, or worse, it might have gone bankrupt due to poor management or something.
"If I were you, I would believe her. She is a very capable person. Isn't this very good? You can also be a hands-off shopkeeper. Let me give you a suggestion. Don't sell eBay's shares. Wait ten years. In eight years, you will be rewarded dozens of times." Feng Yu reminded.
He was afraid that Kirilenko would get mad or listen to other people's words and sell the shares, which would be a big loss.
"I know, I don't plan to sell it. Didn't you tell me that Internet technology stocks that were listed before the millennium should be sold before the millennium. Those that were listed after the millennium should be held as much as possible? I also If you’re not short of money, just leave it alone.” Kirilenko said casually.
Uh~~~It seems like I worry about him in vain!
"How about your Amazon? Didn't you tell me to build a website like Amazon? I took a look and it seems like Amazon doesn't make money at all, right?" Kirilenko was a little confused. The number of views on the website was not high, and the ordering volume was not high. The volume is lower, just a book seller.
"What, the location of the supermarket has been decided?" Feng Yu was a little happy, Brother Ji moved very quickly.
"Not yet, but we can start building the website first. Just choose an office location and find a group of technicians."
"Amazon lacks funds. They wanted to go public to raise funds, but I said no. Fortunately, I won in the end. Amazon also developed slowly step by step according to the plan, and the types of products are increasing. Not long ago, it just acquired Internet Movies The database company is currently in talks with several companies and plans to acquire those companies, namely those that make databases, social media and search engines."
Feng Yu’s idea is that if he lacks money, he will invest, and it is better to forget about listing for the time being. But he didn’t want Amazon’s team to go away. In the end, Feng Yu convinced other shareholders that he divided the stocks into two types. The new investment obtained were non-voting shares. This is similar to the stock offering, except that Amazon avoided the test of the market. They also I don’t know how much the stocks in my hands are worth.
All of this is very similar to the pace of Amazon's development in the previous life, and Feng Yu didn't give much guidance. Currently, online shopping is still in its early stages of development. The online mall model he knew in the previous life is really not feasible now because there are not that many customers.
To put it bluntly, computers and the Internet are not very popular now, so how can online shopping malls become so popular
"Aren't you going to go public? Then you're going to keep losing money now?" Kirilenko was a little confused. With such development, he couldn't see any hope of making money.
"After the millennium, Amazon will definitely start to make money, and the profits will become more and more profitable. When I ask you to learn this business model, I also ask you to cultivate your customer base first. Once you have a broad customer base, you will naturally be able to You make money, it’s the same as retailing in a physical store." Feng Yu explained.
"Really? That's it. So how many years will our online mall have to lose money first?" Kirilenko is a little dissatisfied. If he wants to lose money for a few years first, then the return on investment cycle will be too long, right
"Two or three years, but I guarantee that after five years, you can get more than ten times the return, or even more!" Amazon is expected to lose money for five years, but Kirilenko's website can learn from Amazon's experience and lessons. It will definitely save you a lot of detours and make profits earlier, which is definitely not a problem!
Um? Is there such a high rate of return? Kirilenko is satisfied, that's acceptable.
"I have registered our imported supermarket company and are in the process of selecting a location. I estimate that it will be opened in the second half of this year."
"Well, pay attention to product classification and shelf placement. These can attract customers. We must try to capture every customer who comes to the store." Feng Yu instructed.
"Don't worry, it will definitely be beautiful. When the time comes, I will ask professional talents to do the layout design, and I guarantee it will be better than your Taihua Supermarket."
Feng Yu smiled and shook his head. Brother Ji has such a strong desire to compare. However, he was still very relieved about Kirilenko. After all, Kirilenko had been in the distribution business for so long, and he must have a large number of such talents under his command. Feng Yu even felt that his instructions were unnecessary.
"Well, tomorrow I will ask someone to transfer the first phase of funds to the account."
"Don't worry, just before the end of the month. You said Soros would attack Russia and the ruble, but why has there been no movement yet?" Kirilenko asked curiously.
"Because the ruble is his last move to prepare for the attack, or he will attack Xiangjiang again. After attacking Xiangjiang, he will definitely attack Russia. As far as I know, he should still be making arrangements in the island country, and wait for the island country to start. Well, let’s just follow in quietly, be conservative, and earn 20% is still no problem.”
Feng Yu has also been keeping people's eyes on Soros's movements. Soros attacked Indonesia again, causing heavy losses to Indonesia. But this time, the International Monetary Fund officially intervened, and the countries in Southeast Asia were no longer suitable to participate.
Soros is notorious and has taken all the blame for the financial crisis in Southeast Asia. Feng Yu and the others have made a lot of money without being scolded. This makes Feng Yu most satisfied.
But this time, Feng Yu will definitely participate in the island country. His participation will have a more drastic impact on the island country and once again slow down the pace of the island country's economic recovery. This is what Feng Yu likes to see very much.
Of course, you can also make some money, which is also very important. Even if it is only 20%, judging from their investment base and cycle, it is still a huge profit.
While the two were chatting, Feng Yu's satellite phone rang.
"Hello? What? Okay, I understand, get ready, let's enter!"
Kirilenko looked at Feng Yu curiously: "What's wrong?"
Feng Yu turned around and replied: "The Japanese yen has begun to fall!"
