My Age of Investment

"I've consulted with Mr Bezos and we agreed to three conditions from Facebook.

Just for the price, we can only give each new user a maximum of $40. "

After speaking, Blackburn looked at everyone calmly.

"That is to say, you and eaby have the same conditions?"

Old John asked with a smile.

"No, we will also settle the promotion costs for the more than 20,000 new users before.

In addition, the tens of thousands of T-shirts that Facebook has sold on Amazon and the hundreds of thousands of product commissions that Facebook has collected will be refunded to you.

This can also be seen as our sincerity in cooperation.

In addition, we do not charge product commissions for sales of up to $12 million per year on Amazon, or up to $1 million in monthly sales.

There are also warehousing, logistics, return processing and other costs, which are in line with sales, and total sales orders that do not exceed $12 million a year are free.

This also removes obstacles to cooperation, allowing Facebook to devote more energy to promoting new users.

For our two companies, to achieve real mutual benefit and win-win situation. "

Puppy and Kristina were happy when they heard it. Amazon was sincere this time.

Xia Jingxing guessed that there must be some additional conditions, Bei Baldzi's money is so easy to earn?

"Mr. Blackburn, Amazon, if you have any requirements for us, you can also put forward them together."

Blackburn glanced at Xia Jingxing and thought that this Chinese boy was calm.

Bezos spoke directly, tying Facebook to death and signing a long-term contract of at least ten years.

Regardless of whether Facebook will go bankrupt or even go bankrupt in the future, just sign this long to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

This is also to nip all accidents in the bud.

"We have a requirement that Facebook and we have to sign a ten-year exclusivity agreement.

That is to say, within ten years, Facebook cannot cooperate with other e-commerce platforms in any form.

Finally, there is a liquidated damages, 100 million US dollars! "

Xia Jingxing groaned in his heart, signing for ten years, I will sign with a hammer!

The Amazon landlord is used to being a rich man, and he wants Facebook to be a long-term worker.

"Impossible. The ten-year cooperation period is too long. It is better to sign for one year."

Xia Jingxing refused without any hesitation. Facebook's main profit method in the future will not be e-commerce, but advertising.

If you have signed a sales contract with Amazon, you will not be able to receive advertisements on major e-commerce platforms.

This is very detrimental to the development of Facebook, and it is equivalent to being bound by a layer.

Old John shook his head, "I've never heard of such a long-term cooperation agreement. It's only been eight years since Amazon was founded."

Andrew interjected, "It's too long, and if something goes wrong in the middle, it may be bad for you and me.

What about Amazon? Within ten years, will we only be able to cooperate with one of our social networking sites? "

Blackburn didn't answer, and Facebook's student users, of course, are a tempting piece of cake.

But the size of Facebook and Amazon is completely unequal, so how can they cooperate completely and fairly.

The dominance of cooperation must be in the hands of Amazon.

"I'm sorry, this is our CEO's final opinion. If we still can't reach an agreement, I think you can talk to eaby, and we'll talk to the dating network.

Jonathan Abrams, the CEO of Dating.com, was very enthusiastic. He heard that Amazon wanted to talk to them, and he said that they would send a car to pick us up. "

Blackburn said this in a joking tone with a smile on his face.

Rebel Army!

Xia Jingxing sighed in his heart, it is worthy of being a giant enterprise, it is not easy to handle.

"How many users does the dating network have? Is there 500,000? And the market positioning is not clear,

The user population is very messy, and the age span is very large. There are people in their 30s and 40s, and people in their 50s and 60s.

The most important thing is that they are not real-name systems, and the user's sense of belonging to the website is far less than that of Facebook.

Many of their users are already old Amazon users, and they have a high degree of overlap with your users, so they can't bring many new users to Amazon at all..."

Andrew joking aside, shaking his head while talking, as if Amazon's cooperation with a dating network is a very stupid thing.

"Mr. Andrew, what you said is indeed the truth."

Blackburn said with a smile.

Andrew shrugged and smiled.

Then Blackburn's words changed, "However, I heard that Jonathan, the CEO of Dating.com, is a person with great ambitions and wants to enter the campus market. I don't know if it is true?"

Yang Niu, who had not spoken much for a long time, suddenly spoke up: "They can give it a try, throw away the California market that is not yet stable, go to the campus market, and start from scratch to compete with Facebook, which has three million student users. .

In three months at most, the battle of campus socialization will be resolved.

If Mr Blackburn is patient, he can wait another three months. "

Blackburn shook his head, "No no no... They didn't start from scratch, but planned to copy your route and sell T-shirts, like a university.

Now Facebook only has one-eighth of the campus market, right? Dating.com intends to start with another seven-eighths of the market. "

Xia Jingxing smiled, Facebook's first-mover advantage had been established, and now he was not at all afraid that the dating network would enter the campus market, and even wished that his opponent would do so.

It is equivalent to the opponent abandoning the field that he is good at and going to the field that Facebook is good at to fight.

Judging from what I've learned in previous lives, the two founders of the dating network are indeed overjoyed, but it's possible that Blackburn has contacted each other, and that the other party is also really interested in the campus market.

Anyway, Blackburn's "intimidation", whether it is real or fake.

He's not at all frightened!

"If you insist on a long-term contract of ten years, then there is no need to talk about it."

Xia Jingxing showed a hint of coldness on his face, and said with a very firm attitude.

"Daren, are you sure?"

Blackburn's voice also became colder, staring at Xia Jingxing and asking.

"I'm sure!"

Xia Jingxing responded without showing weakness, and looked at Blackburn's sharp eyes.

Seeing that the conversation was about to collapse, the babes and puppies were very nervous, and their hands under the table were almost sweating.

Old John and Andrew's faces were sinking, and they had already started to make alternatives in their hearts.

"Okay, you win!"

Hearing Blackburn's words, the five people on Facebook breathed a sigh of relief.

If it really breaks down with Amazon, it will take time to choose eaby, change platforms, change warehouses, explain to users...etc.

Facebook's current upward momentum will certainly be affected, and there are dating sites outside.

Under internal and external difficulties, Facebook may go downhill.

But the ten-year cooperation agreement is absolutely unacceptable, and it must be hard to fight with Amazon.

"Five years! This is our last concession!"

Blackburn looked at the five people on Facebook, four of them looked at Xia Jingxing, and he was the final decision maker.

"Two years!"

Blackburn stood up, leaning on the table with both hands, leaned down to look at Xia Jingxing, and said in a very impatient tone, "Daren, my patience has been exhausted, and I don't want to haggle any more."

Xia Jingxing was speechless, he just spoke, could he not be so close to me that his spit was about to splash on Lao Tzu's face?

"Please stand back, Mr. Blackburn. Spit splashed in my face."

As he said that, Xia Jingxing wiped his face.

"Oh, sorry!"

As soon as Blackburn opened his mouth, his momentum was suppressed silently.

What Xia Jingxing needed was this opportunity, when the other party's momentum eased, it was time for us to exert our strength.

"The three-year cooperation period, Amazon has the priority to renew the contract."

Blackburn was about to refute when Xia Jingxing raised his voice an octave, "Please call Mr. Bezos, I don't want to have any more verbal disputes, let him make the final decision."

Looking at Xia Jingxing's firm eyes, Blackburn sighed and nodded.
