George Soros was shocked when he heard that Li Zetian was going to invest in the Quantum Fund.
He agreed without hesitation: "Of course there is no problem, welcome!!!"
Who else in this world can refuse the investment of the "God of Investment"
When Li Zetian heard this, there was a faint smile on his face. The reason why he proposed to invest in the Quantum Fund is that he hopes to have the right to speak in the Quantum Fund and keep abreast of the fund's trends. In the future, during the sterling crisis in 1992, the Southeast Asian financial crisis in 1997, the Internet bubble in 2000, and the global financial crisis in 2008, the Quantum Fund rushed forward and attracted hatred. He could hide behind and act!
"I don't want too many shares, 10%, what do you think?" Li Zetian said.
"Of course!" Soros nodded.
"Then you estimate the price and see how much I have to pay!"
George Soros pondered, thought for a while, and said, "$50 million, what do you think, Mr. Li?"
Li Zetian said proudly: "Okay, that $50 million!"
The next morning, George Soros came to Li Zetian's house again with his partner and financing contract.
After signing the contract, Li Zetian did not intend to reveal the disintegration of the Soviet Union to Soros. He could make money alone, but Li Zetian did not want to share it with others. The sterling crisis in 1992 and the Southeast Asian crisis in 1997 were led by Soros and his Quantum Fund. Li Zetian could not only make a fortune from the Quantum Fund, but also make a fortune behind it.
"Frozen three feet is not a day's cold, and the Japanese stock market crash may be difficult to recover for a while. Quantum Fund might as well short the Japanese stock market and make some money." Li Zetian smiled and said maliciously.
Soros was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Li said that I also feel that the Japanese stock market will continue to fall. Shorting the Japanese stock market will definitely make money."
Li Zetian nodded with a smile, and then sent Soros and his party away.
…
Outsiders do not know that Li Zetian spent 5 billion US dollars shorting the Japanese stock market, and it was 20 times leveraged, which is crazy, and made 60 billion US dollars by the end of the year.
Umbrella company accounts have funds in the $100 billion range.
If this is leaked, I am afraid it will scare people to death.
For a long period of time that followed, Li Zetian did not make any more amazing moves, but began to integrate the company and optimize resources. After all, the acquisition of many companies over the years could not be digested at once, but it would lead to problems for the company.
It was snowing heavily in Los Angeles on December 1st.
At 12:00 noon, Amazon's e-commerce website was updated. In addition to books, the new website also includes personal computers, notebooks, music CDs, CD-Walkman, clothing... There are many products. That's all it's shocking, but the most surprising thing is that all products on the entire website are 40% off!
40% off, oh my god, how much cheaper this is!
Other stores are 20% off, 30% off, 40% off, and Amazon's e-commerce website actually offers 40% off, and the price is completely crushed! ! !
The Amazon e-commerce website has been online for nearly 10 months, and netizens have gradually accepted the Amazon e-commerce website, agreed with its business model, and no longer think it is a deception. Many people have also opened online banking.
At this moment, in Amazon, Li Zetian calmly looked at the background data, smiled and said to Jeff Bezos and others, "Look, the data will fly soon!!!"
Li Zetian's tone was full of confidence.
There are now more than 1 million net names, which is a lot. This time, the brand-new Amazon website is launched, and the first online advertisement, Netscape browser pop-up window - "Amazon launches more personal computers, notebooks, CD-Walkman, Flamingo game console, Gameboy, clothing and other products, all 30% off , the lowest price ever!!!”
Yahoo also added a big red banner in the most prominent position on the homepage: "Amazon.com is newly launched, 30% off all Christmas gifts!!!"
In addition, even Sprint's Internet dial-up software advertises Amazon's e-commerce site. Li Zetian also let people vigorously promote Amazon's website on the BBS of various colleges and universities. And even Hotmail emails under Microsoft's name have ads.
Online propaganda is almost pervasive! Anyone who is online will definitely see the advertising on Amazon's website!
As for offline promotion, there are many flagship stores such as Apple, Mango, Amazon, Microsoft, Flamingo, etc., with gorgeous and dazzling pictures posted on the door.
Of course, offline publicity seems a little weak, not even TV commercials. However, Li Zetian thinks it is enough. With so many companies joining forces, the energy is not ordinary. In addition, the users of Amazon's website are netizens. Many people do not have access to the Internet or do not know about Amazon. Unless the offline publicity is super strong, the effect will be mediocre and the gain will outweigh the loss. To make matters worse, spending a lot of money on publicity only plays a role in popularizing e-commerce knowledge, and cannot convert it into users. Instead, it is a wedding dress for others.
Li Zetian said: "Many college students have access to the Internet. As long as they go online, they will definitely know that there is a brand new Amazon website. In addition, we have done a lot of promotion on BBS, which will definitely attract many students, and their relatives and friends will also Will be our potential users! Even though the number of netizens is only 1 million, I expect that the number of people who know Amazon.com is much more than 1 million.”
"By the way," Li Zetian turned to look at Jeff Bezos and asked, "I have not informed the media reporters. How can they be omitted from such a shocking event?"
Bezos smiled and said: "The reporters from the top ten newspapers in the United States have been told that this incident will surely attract their attention, and then report it, and promote it for us for free. Maybe it will make headlines!"
Li Zetian also laughed, and immediately thought of something, and said: "I suddenly thought of a way to stimulate consumers, hehe, Bezos, if you let programmers do this, the top 20 consumers will get $10 off, and the 100th will get a free gift. Gameboy, the 1000th will get a CD-Walkman, the 10,000th will get a Flamingo-III game console, and the 100,000th will get a MacBook! In addition, all users who spend more than $1,000 will have a chance to draw a prize. Amazon.com products, or $1 to $10,000 in cash!"
When Jeff Bezos heard the words, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "Mr. Li, this is really a good idea, I will immediately tell the programmer to do it."
Li Zetian said with a smile: "At present, we only need to add the information of these activities to stimulate consumption on the webpage. Regarding the lottery, we can arrange it on Christmas Eve. We have time, and we are not in a hurry..."
"Well, yes!!" Jeff Bezos couldn't help laughing.
