Super Tycoon

"Mr. Zhang, I didn't do this on a temporary basis, but I have long thought about finding cooperation with your company. Now the development of the Internet mall is better than you can imagine. We have tens of millions of members, and we can send advertisements to their mailboxes. Even if half of them are interested in your company's products, how much sales can be increased?"

Zhang Yang wanted to say, are you sure you really have 10 million members? Registered users and active users are two completely different concepts.

What's more, even if there are really 10 million active users, how can we guarantee that at least half of them are interested in our products and even buy them?

Listing data is a common method used by many Internet companies to solicit investment. Zhang Yang did this a lot when he was working on mobile games in his previous life. However, there is still a big difference between the data and the reality. If it is about book sales, Zhang Yang is very confident about Amazon at this time, but for game products, Amazon is just a newcomer.

"Mr. Bezos, if we cooperate, how can you ensure that our products can be purchased by consumers? It costs money to push advertisements, right? Do you have enough advertising fees? Are you planning to let me pay?"

Bezos was stunned for a moment, he hadn't said anything yet, how did the other party guess it?

On the surface, Amazon launched a sales platform and made less profit, so Zhiduoxing paid some advertising fees. In fact, they can also use the products of Zhiduoxing to promote Amazon and increase the number of their members.

Even if Amazon doesn’t make any money, if they can sell the best-selling products of Zhiduoxing on their platform, this is success and will give consumers the impression that their platform has a complete range of products.

It's a pity that his little thoughts seem to have been seen through.

He thought that Zhang Yang was very young, but he became the president of Zhi Duoxing through the light of his father's generation. Now it seems that he underestimated him a little bit.

"Mr. Zhang, our company is indeed short of funds right now, but don't worry, we are planning to split the stock again and issue some more at the same time, so we will have enough funds."

"That's right, then how much do you plan to issue? If I remember correctly, you have already split the stock once at the beginning of the year. At that time, you also issued some more and raised a lot of funds, which seems to be used to repay debts."

"Several of your newly added businesses this year seem to be losing money, and your debt ratio is increasing. How can I believe that you have the funds to promote our products instead of using our products to attract consumers?"

"Our Zhiduoxing products are the most popular in any game store, and they are also the most popular in the electronic product counters of Wal-Mart and other big supermarkets."

"Many game stores are even willing to lower their profit margins in order to sell our products, and even put posters of our products at the door to attract consumers to enter the store to buy."

"How can I believe that you can make our cooperation win-win?"

Bezos was at a loss for words, he didn't expect Zhang Yang to clarify the words so directly. He is also thinking about how to get the other party to agree to sell the product on Amazon's platform.

If it was last year, he may not care about profits, but this year is not good, the company has run out of money, the debt ratio is higher, and bank loans cannot be borrowed.

If the loss continues, I am afraid that the company's stock price will really drop sharply, and the company will go bankrupt at that time!

For listed companies with high debt ratios, bankruptcy often happens within a short period of time. If there is big capital behind it, then naturally there is no need to worry, there are ways to raise the stock price, but now those big capital shareholders want to annex his shares.

He gambled all his wealth back then, letting his wife endure hardships with him, isn't it just to make a lot of money in the future and become a rich man. If the company goes bankrupt, he will go bankrupt too, and even consumption will be restricted in the future. How can he make a comeback?

His only bargaining chip now is Amazon's stock. I just don't know if the other party is interested or not. After all, there are still many companies that comment on Amazon as an Internet bubble, which will burst with a poke.

For now, I can only try.

"Mr. Zhang,

As an outsider, I naturally don't know the detailed data of our Amazon. No matter how good I say, you may not believe it. But if you become a partner of Amazon, then you must believe in the future of Amazon. "

"Partner? You want me to invest in Amazon?" Zhang Yang looked in disbelief, "Mr. Bezos, we were talking about selling my company's products on your platform, how come it turns out that I want to invest in you?" What about the company?"

"Frankly speaking, the development momentum of Internet companies is indeed very strong, but many economists believe that this is a bubble that will burst soon."

"And as a company that has been established for more than five years and has been listed for more than two years, Amazon's growth rate is too slow. Companies in the same period have a market value of tens of billions. How much is Amazon?"

"Other people's revenue growth can exceed 200% or even 500% every year. How much growth rate can Amazon's revenue scale achieve?"

"I also have a financial investment company under my name, and the assets are not much, five or six billion US dollars. It's not that I haven't invested in Internet companies, but like Amazon, I don't see enough places to attract me."

"Well, I'm here. If you can convince me, I'll take a stake in your Amazon. If there are too many, I dare not say that an investment of one billion US dollars is still no problem."

Bezos is overjoyed, this is really a big boss, with one billion dollars, the company will definitely develop.

He also knows that his business philosophy in recent years has been different from that of many shareholders of the company, and some shareholders have left. Some people think that he is too conservative and should quickly open online bookstores in various developed countries around the world based on Amazon's original template. The company must have developed, and it will only take a year or two to make a profit.

Some people also say that since you want to be an online shopping mall with a wide variety of products, you can go online all at once and turn Amazon into a department store website, but Bezos is unwilling, saying that he wants to do it step by step.

The company is about to become Bezos's word, and other shareholders can't influence Bezos' opinion because of their voting rights. Can they be happy?

It didn’t matter if the stock was traded among shareholders before. After the two-year lock-up period this year, several shareholders directly sold the stock, which also caused Amazon’s stock price to fall again.

Thinking of this, Bezos took a deep breath: "Mr. Zhang, first of all, I am very grateful for your willingness to listen to my story. I can also tell you for sure that you will never regret investing in Amazon. Then I will say something Let’s talk about our company’s plans for the future, I hope Mr. Zhang will be interested.”
