My Age of Investment

Time to enter March.

Principal John called Xia Jingxing with good news.

Jeff Blackburn, a Stanford graduate and Amazon's vice president, agreed to meet with Xia Jingxing.

Old John was a little worried, and warned on the phone: "Blackburn worked at Morgan Stanley for a few years and is proficient in all kinds of business negotiations. You have to be careful."

Xia Jingxing said with a smile, "Please rest assured, I will definitely come up with a plan that is satisfactory to all parties."

Old John's lips moved, but he didn't say anything more.

In his eyes, Xia Jingxing is undoubtedly very good, but the disadvantage is his age and lack of various business experience.

He decided to stay out of the game for now and see if Xia Jingxing could bring him any surprises.

He's a principal and a billionaire, and it's not appropriate to end up too early.

It's the most appropriate thing for him to come out to clean up the situation again.

Downstairs in Building F of the incubation base, Xia Jingxing met the Amazon executive who flew over from Seattle.

Jeff Blackburn is a white man in his thirties, dressed in a haute couture suit, a designer watch, and an elite look.

In contrast, Xia Jingxing's dress was much more casual, with a hoodie, jeans, and sneakers.

Jeff Blackburn just stepped out of the back seat of a luxurious Mercedes-Benz sedan when he saw an Asian boy greet him with a smile.

"Mr. Blackburn, nice to meet you, I'm Darren, CEO of Facebook."

"Hehe, Darren, you're younger and more handsome than I thought."

Jeff Blackburn's face was full of smiles, and he was indifferent at all. He praised Xia Jingxing just like seeing an old friend.

The whole process is smooth and smooth, without making people feel any discomfort or awkwardness.

Xia Jingxing nodded secretly, Old John was right, this matter is one person.

Jeff Blackburn called the driver to park the car, and followed Xia Jingxing upstairs.

After entering the humble office, he just looked at the surrounding environment a little, then withdrew his gaze, very indifferent.

Xia Jingxing observed the other person calmly, greeted Jeff Blackburn to sit down on the sofa in the corner, and then asked Christina to deliver two bottles of mineral water, smiling: "The environment is simple, there is no coffee machine, only This is it."

Jeff Blackburn shook his head and laughed indifferently: "What's the matter, I like this environment very much, there is a kind of upward vitality."

Xia Jingxing nodded with a smile and said yes.

After a few more chats, Jeff Blackburn said with a smile, "Daren, I saw the plan Mr. Hennessy sent me, and it was very good."

"hehe, thanks for your complement."

Xia Jingxing acted calmly and was not shocked.

From the first time he saw Jeff Blackburn, he knew it was an old fox.

It is estimated that it will take some effort to achieve a smooth cooperation.

Not to be taken lightly!

Before Jeff Blackburn came, he also conducted a preliminary investigation on Facebook, and basically knew all aspects of the situation well.

The only thing that surprised him was that the founder didn't look like a young man in his twenties.

After trying a few words, the other party didn't act like a young man, selling himself impatiently and explaining everything in detail.

This made him interested, and asked with a smile: "How many registered users do you think Facebook can bring to Amazon?"

"five million!"

Xia Jingxing blurted out and made his debut.

Jeff Blackburn laughed directly, "If I understand correctly, Facebook doesn't have a million users yet?"

"To be precise, less than half a million users."

Xia Jingxing leaned on the sofa,

Spreading his hands, he said with a relaxed expression.

"Then tell me, why did you bring five million new users to Amazon?"

Jeff Blackburn restrained his smile, leaned down, and stared at Xia Jingxing with a serious face: "Young man, my time is precious."

For ordinary young people, when they encounter this kind of change, they may be very flustered.

Xia Jingxing looked very calm and the smile on his face did not diminish at all.

The other party wanted to overwhelm him with momentum, but how could he let the other party do so.

"Mr. Blackburn, let's put this aside for now and let me talk about my views on Amazon."

Jeff Blackburn was a little surprised when he saw that he couldn't "frighten" the other party, he also put away his posture, raised his hand with a smile, and motioned for Xia Jingxing to continue.

"Amazon currently has 40 million users with transaction records scattered all over the world.

How many are there in the US? Less than twenty million, right?

What percentage of the US population is this? Less than seven percent of the population of 288 million.

The penetration rate is too low too low!

And because Amazon started with books, that makes Amazon and it limits Amazon. "

Jeff Blackburn frowned when he heard this, did not refute Xia Jingxing, and motioned the latter to continue.

Xia Jingxing nodded and then imitated the tone of the two passersby.

"Hey girl, have you heard of Amazon? There are so many beautiful dresses on it."

"What? Doesn't Amazon sell books and audiovisuals?"

Speaking of this, Xia Jingxing did not continue to role-play, he believed that Blackburn already understood what he meant.

"You mean, people's impression of Amazon is still stuck in the past?"

After speaking, Blackburn shook his head sharply, "I don't agree with this point, we opened the clothing category last year and attracted more than 500 big brands to settle in.

Expanding the category is what we have been doing. "

Xia Jingxing chuckled, "You can go to the campus and do a survey to see whether Amazon sells books or clothes in everyone's impression."

Speaking of this, Blackburn no longer refuted, he looked at Xia Jingxing and asked, "Then what does this have to do with you? What can you do for Amazon?"

Xia Jingxing said lightly, "We put a link to our Amazon store on the Facebook homepage to sell Facebook peripheral products, such as clothes, hats, stationery, umbrellas, etc.

Hundreds of thousands, millions, and tens of millions of college students visit Amazon through Facebook to buy their favorite products.

After buying it, they found that there was still a pair of shoes missing.

They thought that even clothes were sold on Amazon, and shoes should also be sold, so they looked for it on Amazon.

Really didn't let them down, really can buy shoes.

After a few days, they found that the appliances at home were broken and decided to go to Amazon to try their luck..."

After listening to it, Blackburn smiled, "It's a very good story, this is actually what we have been doing at Amazon, perfecting the product category, focusing on the customer, and becoming the largest online retailer."

Xia Jingxing counted with his fingers, "Amazon only had books in 1995; audio and video products were added in 1998; toys, electronic products, and software were added in 1999; and home gardening was added in 2000;

Costume jewelry was added last year, but this year seems to be adding sports outdoor products and jewelry, right? "

Blackburn laughed, "You know us well, what do you want to explain?"

"Explain two questions."

Xia Jingxing said with a smile: "First, the company has grown little by little;

Second, Amazon is expanding its influence little by little, attracting more people and buying more categories of goods. "

Blackburn took a closer look and nodded, "Okay, now let's talk about the "five million new users" thing."
