Giant of the times

George Soros was shocked when he heard that Li Zetian wanted to invest in Quantum Fund.

He agreed without any hesitation: "Of course, no problem, welcome!!!"

Who else in the world can refuse the "God of Investment"'s investment?

When Li Zetian heard this, a faint smile appeared on his face. The reason why he proposed to invest in Quantum Fund was that he hoped to have a say in Quantum Fund and keep abreast of the fund's trends at any time. In the future, during the pound crisis in 1992, the Southeast Asian financial crisis in 1997, the Internet bubble in 2000, and the global financial crisis in 2008, Quantum Fund rushed to the front and attracted hatred, and he could hide behind it and act!

"The shares I want are not many, 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, "What do you think of $50 million, Mr. Li?"

Li Zetian said proudly: "Okay, then 50 million US dollars!"

The next morning, George Soros came to Li Zetian's home again with his partners and financing contracts.

After signing the contract, Li Zetian did not intend to disclose 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 1992 pound crisis and the 1997 Southeast Asian crisis were led by Soros and his Quantum Fund. Li Zetian could not only make a fortune from the Quantum Fund, but also make another fortune behind the scenes.

"Three feet of ice is not a day's cold. I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover from the RB stock market crash for a while. Quantum Fund might as well short the RB stock market and make some money." Li Zetian laughed and said maliciously.

Soros was stunned for a moment, and then said: "What Mr. Li said is that I also think that the RB stock market will continue to fall. You can definitely make money by shorting the RB stock market."

Li Zetian smiled and nodded, then sent Soros and his party away.

…

Unknown to outsiders, Li Zetian spent US$5 billion shorting the RB stock market with 20 times leverage, which was crazy. He made US$60 billion towards the end of the year.

Umbrella company accounts have as much as $100 billion in funds.

If this were leaked, it would probably scare people to death.

For a long time afterwards, Li Zetian did not make any more amazing moves, but began to integrate the company and optimize resources. After all, he had acquired many companies over the years, which could not be digested at once, but would cause problems for the company.

On December 1st, it was snowing heavily in Los Angeles.

At 12 o'clock at noon, Amazon's e-commerce website was updated. In addition to books, the new website also has a dazzling array of products such as personal computers, notebooks, music CDs, CD-Walkmans, and clothing. That’s all for being so shocking, but the most surprising thing is that all products on the entire website are 40% off!

40% off, my God, how much cheaper is this!

Other stores offer 20% off, 30% off, and 40% off, but Amazon’s e-commerce website actually offers 40% off, completely crushing the price! ! !

It has been nearly 10 months since the Amazon e-commerce website was launched. Netizens have gradually accepted the Amazon e-commerce website, recognized its business model, and no longer considered it a deception. Many people have also opened online banking.

At this moment, at Amazon, Li Zetian calmly looked at the background data, smiled and said to Jeff Bezos and others: "Just watch, the data will fly soon!!!"

Li Zetian's tone was full of confidence.

Today, the number of online names exceeds 1 million, which is already a lot. This time, the brand new Amazon website was launched. It first advertised online, with a pop-up window in the Netscape browser - "Amazon launches more personal computers, notebooks, CD-Walkman, Flamingo game consoles, Gameboys, clothing and other products, all 3 Discount, lowest price ever!!!”

Yahoo also added a large red banner in the most conspicuous position on the homepage: "Amazon's website is newly launched, and all Christmas gifts are 30% off!!!"

In addition, even Sprint Internet dial-up software promotes Amazon e-commerce sites. Li Zetian also asked people to vigorously promote the Amazon website on the BBSs of major universities. And even Microsoft's Hotmail e-mail has ads.

The publicity on the Internet is almost pervasive! Anyone online will definitely see promotional advertisements on Amazon’s website!

As for offline promotion, there are many flagship stores such as Apple, Mango, Amazon, Microsoft, and Flamingo, with gorgeous and dazzling pictures posted on the door.

Of course, the offline promotion seems a bit weak, not even a TV ad. However, Li Zetian thinks it is enough. With so many companies joining forces, the energy is extraordinary. In addition, the users targeted by the Amazon website are Internet users. At present, many people do not have access to the Internet or do not understand Amazon. Unless the offline publicity is extremely vigorous, the effect will be mediocre and the gain will outweigh the loss. What's worse is that perhaps a large amount of money is spent on publicity, which only serves the purpose of popularizing e-commerce knowledge and cannot convert them into users. Instead, it is used to make wedding dresses for others.

Li Zetian said: "Many college students are exposed 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 They will be our potential users! Although the number of Internet users is only 1 million, I estimate that there are many more people who know the Amazon website than 1 million."

"By the way," Li Zetian turned to look at Jeff Bezos and asked, "Have you informed the media reporters? How could such a shocking thing be omitted from them?"

Bezos smiled and said: "I have asked reporters from the top ten newspapers in the United States to inform them. This matter will definitely attract their attention, and then they will report it and promote it for us for free. Maybe it will make the headlines!"

Li Zetian also laughed, and then he thought of something and said: "I suddenly thought of a way to stimulate consumers. Haha, Bezos, let the programmers do this. The first 20 consumers will get a $10 discount, and the 100th one will get a free gift. Gameboy, the 1,000th place will receive a CD-Walkman, the 10,000th place will receive a Flamingo-III game console, and the 100,000th place will receive a MacBook! In addition, all users who spend more than 1,000 US dollars will receive a lucky draw opportunity, and the prizes include Products from Amazon.com, or cash ranging from $1 to $10,000!”

When Jeff Bezos heard this, his eyes immediately lit up and he said: "Mr. Li, this is really a good idea. I will tell the programmers to do it right away."

Li Zetian said with a smile: "Currently, we only need to add information on these activities to stimulate consumption on the web page. The lottery can be arranged on Christmas Eve. We have plenty of time, so there is no rush..."

"Yeah, too!!" Jeff Bezos couldn't help laughing.
