Christmas Eve and Christmas are the end and beginning of the year in the West, and this is especially true for Kaos.

January has just arrived. Perhaps because of the failure in the Hong Kong stock market, international speculators made a dramatic retracement, causing the price of gold futures to rise somewhat, from a low of 276.75 to a high of 306.35.

Although it only increased in just one month, it brought a return of 26 million US dollars to Kaos, who had been prepared for it, and the cash in Kaos' hands rose to the bottom of 80 million US dollars.

This amount of funds did not last long, because Kaos also accelerated his purchase of Amazon shares, which soon made him spend another $20 million and get 1.2% of the shares.

Including the previous stocks, Kaos now holds 3.13% of Amazon's shares, but he still has nearly 60 million in cash.

However, Amazon's stock acquisition has reached this point. Although the 5% share notification requirement has not been triggered, Amazon still noticed Kaos's behavior.

"Hello, Mr. Bezos, I really didn't expect you to come in person."

Kaos looked at Jeff Bezos who appeared in his office, smiled and said hello.

Although he knew that he would be noticed sooner or later, he did not expect that after noticing him, Jeff Bezos would actually come over in person.

"Haha, I didn't need it originally, but after I heard about Kaos and that you are only 16 years old, I was naturally very curious. Wouldn't it be a pity not to come and take a look in person."

Jeff Bezos looked up and down Kaos's body. Although he knew his age, he was still very surprised when he saw him in person.

Especially since the other party now actually runs an Internet company, which seems to be developing very well, this makes him even more curious about Kaos.

Google now has a certain reputation in the industry. He had paid special attention to it before, but the business between the two parties did not have much connection, which made him just take a look at Google and put it aside.

I didn't expect that the two of them would meet in this way in the end, and the other person is now considered a shareholder of their Amazon.

Thinking that the young man in front of him holds 3.13% of Amazon's shares, which were all bought with real money. The value is nearly 30 million US dollars, which makes Jeff Bezos feel even more extraordinary when he looks at Kaos.

"Now that I have seen it, I wonder what Mr. Bezos had in mind when he came here this time."

Kaos also has a strong interest in the man who brought Amazon to its peak and became the world's richest man several times 20 years later.

"You have acquired 3% of Amazon's shares. I want to know how much you plan to acquire in total. I also want to know your views on Amazon, whether it is a short-term investment or a long-term investment."

Leaning forward and crossing his fingers with his hands, Bezos looked at Kaos seriously, hoping to confirm whether what he said next was true.

Listed companies like Amazon attach great importance to every major shareholder. After all, if the other party sells their shares arbitrarily, it will be a major threat and concern for the stability of their stock price.

"Well, I am very optimistic about the future of Amazon. The more stocks, the better. As for the time to invest, since I am optimistic about the future, I have no intention of letting go for at least ten years. This can be regarded as my promise."

Although Amazon has a good future, Kaos has no intention of acquiring it. It just plans to take advantage of the situation to make some money.

Naturally, there was no competitive relationship with Bezos, and Kaos did not hide the other party's doubts. He directly gave his answer clearly and clearly, and also showed his friendly attitude to the other party.

"Then I can rest assured. I believe Amazon will not let your investment down. I would like to congratulate you in advance on joining the Amazon family."

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Bezos nodded, stood up with a smile, gently shook hands with Kaos, and said goodbye. However, the two parties also exchanged contact information before leaving to facilitate better communication between the two parties in the future.

After sending Bezos away, Kaos was sitting alone on the sofa in the office, making green tea which is rare in the United States, and at the same time lamenting that no one who can succeed is easy to deal with.

My own acquisition of Amazon stock has slowed down a lot, but it is still being noticed. Don't look at it just now, Bezos seems to be handling it very well.

But in fact, Kaos knew very well that even if what he told was the truth, Bezos probably didn't believe it completely. He didn't come here to listen to his explanation at all. He just wanted to give Kaos a show of strength and show his strength.

He saw all his actions.

As for Kaos's large-scale acquisition of stocks, Bezos is actually not that nervous. After all, the rules of the U.S. stock market are very complete. As long as it exceeds 5%, a notice must be issued, and it is also necessary to sell stocks in the future.

Give one or two months' notice and a maximum of 1% of the shares at a time.

This makes Kaos's actions in the eyes of Bezos. The number of shares sold at one time is indeed quite large, but it is still affordable for a listed company. It cannot affect the development of Amazon, so naturally it will not

Will have an impact on Bezos.

"Boss, this is the result of preliminary contacts with several fund companies."

The door knocked gently, pulling Kaos back from his thoughts. He looked at Carson who came in to report back, and at the same time took the documents from the other party's hand.

With Google's current traffic and number of searches, it is no longer a small company, but a highly regarded potential stock. Naturally, some funds will come to its door.

Kaos understands that Google is still in its infancy, and it will take at least two to three years for it to fully grow and go public. Now is not the best time to attract investment, but negotiations for this kind of cooperative financing cannot be done in a short time.

Now that we've agreed, it's a good idea to test your tone in advance.

"Oh, what are these guys thinking? They dare to make an offer with a valuation of tens of millions."

Kaos looked at the information and laughed mockingly. Although Kaos has only invested more than 10 million in Google in the early stage, but now there are more than 50 million searches every day, and the valuation should be at least hundreds of millions.

But it seems that these small VCs who don’t know their names are probably still thinking about picking up the slack, buying stocks at low prices, and waiting for a windfall in the future.

After casually flipping through two pages of information, Kaos saw some normal quotes at the back. VC’s nose is as sensitive as a paparazzi’s. Small VC companies noticed Kaos’ Google, so what about those large VCs?

You won't notice it.

Just like Red Shirt Capital, which specializes in investing in Internet technology companies, this time it also brought a quote, and it is the highest among them, with a market value of US$500 million. They want to directly acquire 40% of the shares, which is US$200 million.

This was definitely a sky-high price in early 1998, but unfortunately Kaos has no interest in it now.
