My Age of Investment

The old man John looked so calm that people couldn't tell the truth of what he said.

Blackburn was also suspicious, and looked at the old man several times, but couldn't see anything.

Xia Jingxing admired it in his heart, as expected of an old shopping mall driver, his temperament was so hard to grasp.

"eaby made a double condition?"

Blackburn asked and answered with a smile, "It's absolutely impossible, they don't have that much courage."

Old John had a serious face, "To underestimate your opponent is to dig your own grave."

After speaking, he took out his mobile phone, dialed the phone, and turned on the amplifier directly.

"I'm John Hennessy..."

"Mr. Hennessy, Amazon is notoriously stingy, don't sign a contract with them."

"$40 for a new user, no problem at all, and the promotion fee can be settled once a month."

"What secondary shopping, effective users? No need at all. You are responsible for diverting new users. eaby has the ability and confidence to complete the conversion of these users."

"You can rest assured of warehousing and logistics, just leave it to us. We have cooperation with UPS, FedEx, DHL, and Maersk."

"Transaction fee? Well...this one is also exempted. But we need to add an exemption cap, and the annual sales should not exceed 10 million US dollars. For the excess, we still have to charge the transaction fee normally."

"Mr. Hennessy, I heard that Facebook is approaching 3 million users? Is that true?"

...

Everyone else present was silent, quietly listening to the old man John's words.

Including a few middle-level Amazons who were still arrogant just now, they have become honest and no longer arrogant.

Blackburn lowered his head, listening carefully for any flaws in the conversation.

In fact, the more he listened, the colder his heart became, because he could hear the voice on the phone. It was indeed an executive of eaby, not an actor casually invited by old John.

Old John hung up the phone after saying a few scenes.

He glanced at the middle and high-level Amazon sitting opposite, and said in a flat tone: "Eaby's conditions, have you heard clearly?

If you can offer better terms than them, then we will find you to cooperate.

You don't have to worry about me taking your offer, turning around and negotiating with eaby.

If you can agree to the conditions Daeron offered, sign the contract on the spot.

Nor are we insatiable greed, we just want fairer terms of cooperation. "

Blackburn said coldly, "The contract we signed with Facebook before has an exclusive agreement."

"One million dollars in liquidated damages, right?"

Old man John smiled, "I still have some pension, which I should be able to lend to Facebook."

Blackburn was silent, shit pension, he knew the old man's net worth.

One million in liquidated damages is nothing to a billionaire.

He now regrets it a little. The liquidated damages for the last contract were too small, only one million dollars.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the smiling Andrew. It was this damn fat lawyer who lowered the liquidated damages from ten million to one million.

He didn't expect Facebook to develop so fast at first, so fast that even Amazon, a company with a market value of 10 billion, had to pay attention to the cooperation between the two parties.

So I didn't insist too much on the liquidated damages, thinking that one million was enough.

Looking at it now, it's a complete failure.

After the rise of Facebook, their internal team has analyzed that if Facebook wins the US college market, it will have at least more than 10 million registered users.

And most of these student users have not made online shopping.

If these people are all developed into Amazon users, it can greatly enrich the number of Amazon users.

More importantly, these people are students.

Even if the purchasing power is not strong at present, it will become the backbone of society in a few years.

Young is the future!

If these students are taken away by eaby, the boss, Bezos, will not spare them.

They can actually bypass Facebook and put Amazon ads directly on campus, but the effect is hard to say.

As a campus social networking site, Facebook has gathered a large number of students, and is naturally closer to students than they are, and even guides students.

And paying by the number of new users is much safer than direct advertising on campus.

Because of the large advertising, it may not be able to achieve much effect, and there may even be no harvest.

The more Blackburn thought about it, the more worried he became, and his heart was a little flustered.

He forced himself to calm down quickly, accused old John, Andrew, and the three founders of Facebook, and left the conference room with a few middle-level managers, asking Bezos to go.

The meeting is temporarily suspended!

After the Amazon people left, Andrew gave old John a thumbs up, "Where did you hire an actor? It's like a Hollywood actor!"

Old John shook his head and laughed, "Blackburn is not a fool, can an actor fool him?"

"Is that really the top of eaby?"

The puppy exclaimed.

Yang Niu asked: "Mr. Hennessy, listening to the content on the phone, it seems that eaby's people are very clear about our cooperation with Amazon, and even the effect of the cooperation?"

Old John nodded, "You asked a good question. If you don't understand these things, they won't offer such generous conditions."

"Leaking these cooperation contents and effects to eaby certainly aroused their interest and participated in the cooperation bidding.

But is this a breach of the non-disclosure agreement in the contract? "

The babes looked at old John, wanting a reasonable answer.

"Some rules are meant to be broken, and it's a big deal to lose a million dollars!"

Old John leaned back on the seat and said with a smile.

Andrew nodded, "That's right, compared to the potential tens of millions of benefits, this million is nothing."

Xia Jingxing didn't say anything, European and American society shouted for laws and human rights every day, all of which were fooling the lower classes.

In the face of absolute interests, legal constraints are nothing.

Old John's words just now brought out this bloody reality.

Including Blackburn, just mentioned the liquidated damages.

If an ordinary startup company was threatened like this, it would be cowardly.

But Facebook, with Old John, the president of a prestigious school and a billionaire, is not afraid of legal intimidation at all.

In fact, Black could have directly accused Old John of leaking the cooperation content to a third party.

But he didn't do that. On the one hand, it didn't have much effect. On the other hand, it made the two companies go against each other, which was equivalent to pushing Facebook to eaby's side.

There is no right or wrong in the adult world, only the pros and cons.

Xia Jingxing naturally understood and did not ask any further questions.

Yang Niu and Puppy are still students, so they asked a little more.

Now the two of them understand it and stop talking too much.

About an hour later, Blackburn came back with someone.
