Super Tycoon

When various MP4 e-books became popular, Amazon, which started out as a book seller, also saw business opportunities.

Their print book sales are down, but the e-book market is expanding rapidly. They wouldn't have acquired an audiobook site otherwise, just to expand their product offerings.

Amazon's technical strength is also very strong. They directly acquired a hardware company and developed a product called e-book.

Unlike MP4, you can watch videos or something, but mainly use it to read e-books. The screen isn't particularly bright, so it's not too harsh to see in black-out hours. It used to be difficult to see clearly under strong light, but now it has been improved.

The important thing is that this product can be bound with Amazon's e-book store, and you can buy books at a discount, and it is easy to carry. A small one is worth a library.

There are many people who like to read, not only young people, but also many old people. Even Bezos once said that no one doesn't like reading, it's just that they haven't met the books they are interested in.

It's like Zhang Yang said that no one doesn't like games, because it's really fun.

Amazon's KD electronic paper book became so popular that it sold much better than many MP4s. Although there are few functions, the storage space is not small, and it is also liked by many people.

Speaking of this e-book, Bezos began to talk about the benefits of this product. In the future, he will continue to improve hardware performance and increase the number of users, which will definitely make more money for the company.

It is also because of this product that some of Amazon's book selling competitors have become gnashing of teeth, but there is nothing they can do about it. Those book publishers are eager to boycott this product, but they are not willing to give up Amazon, the largest book sales channel.

Fortunately, the two sides have negotiated a new solution. Some book publishers can directly publish books on the electronic board and provide paid downloads on Amazon's official website, which can also make money.

Moreover, the cost is still low. After all, printing, logistics, and warehousing are no longer needed. For the author, not only has the income not decreased, but it has also increased.

For readers, reading has become more convenient and worry-free.

"Zhang, in China, there seem to be many pirated e-books. This is very bad. If you can get this copyright, you will definitely make more money." Bezos looked at Zhang Yang, hoping that Zhang Yang could help Get this done.

"The most pirated e-books are all in English, and the United States has the most." Zhang Yang squinted at Bezos, "The laws, economic conditions, and consumption concepts of countries are different. "

"In our country, renting bookstores is a very popular industry. They are found in every town and every university campus. As for the online version of e-books, our development is actually faster than in North America, because we have Many original authors who specialize in writing ebooks, rather than translating other people's stuff."

"This matter should be considered by the government, not me. As one of the book publishers and distributors, you can make comments."

Many industries grow wildly in the early days, so they grow faster and in larger quantities. After a certain scale has been formed, restrictions will begin, as Zhang Yang knew in his previous life.

Bezos sighed, feeling that he had come in vain today, thinking of a few people who needed Zhang Yang's help, the other party refused. Fortunately, the other party agreed,

When I encounter difficulties in mergers and acquisitions in Europe, I can ask Zhang for help.

"Zhang, we are going to enter the Eastern European market, can you help introduce a good partner?" Bezos asked.

"Eastern Europe? There is not a good relationship with you in the United States. If you want to develop, you need to pay a higher price. But you can contact Kurishenko. He is my friend and has a lot of connections in Eastern Europe."

Kurishenko is also engaged in retailing, and he must know who is involved in this type of industry, so he can be a middleman. As for whether it will be successful in the end, Zhang Yang doesn't care.

He is only a shareholder in Amazon, and the income there is not his main income, nor his main assets. Why does he pay so much attention to it?

As for whether Amazon's model can succeed in Eastern Europe, Zhang Yang doesn't care. Sometimes some ups and downs can make the company develop better in the future.

The two drank and chatted with the dried fruit on the table, very comfortable.

Bezos seemed a little drunk: "Zhang, do you think I will be in the top ten of the rich list one day?"

His shareholding in Amazon is only about 16%. This is due to his salary as an executive over the years to increase himself, otherwise it is only about 15%.

If he wants to be in the top ten, he needs at least a net worth of more than 20 billion U.S. dollars, so he needs to increase the market value of Amazon to more than 150 billion U.S. dollars.

"Dream, it might as well be bigger. Maybe one day, you can become the top five, and you can surpass Bill Gates, Buffett and so on."

Judging from the development of Amazon at this time, it may not be worse than the previous life. But it can only make Bezos the second richest man, because the first must be Zhang Yang, and no one else can take it away.

On the Amazon side, Zhang Yang indirectly holds a higher proportion of stocks than Bezos.

The more Bezos' net worth, the more Zhang Yang's net worth will be, unless one day Bezos invests in some other industry and can get dozens of times the return.

Bezos widened his eyes: "What do you mean, the market value of Amazon may increase by more than ten times in the future?"

That is 400-500 billion US dollars, definitely a top-level big company, is this possible? At that time, Amazon will become the world's largest retail company, surpassing Wal-Mart?

"Can you, you shouldn't ask me, you should be the CEO. The management of the company is based on you. If you don't have confidence, how can you make the shareholders have confidence?" Zhang Yang asked back.

"By the way, how is your relationship with your wife recently?"

Bezos was a little surprised: "Very good, why do you ask that?"

"It's nothing, just asking casually." In the previous life, when she got divorced, she paid 4% of Amazon's stock, worth more than 30 billion U.S. dollars.

This is also known as the most expensive divorce lawsuit in history, but it seems that apart from the division of property, the two have not made any other news.

Zhang Yang was actually very curious about what was going on, but it was a pity that he couldn't ask now.

After finishing a bottle of wine, Bezos got up to leave. When he went downstairs, he was still thinking, why did Zhang Yang ask him about his relationship with his wife?

Could it be that he was always busy with work and neglected his family during this time? Think about the recent frequent business trips and overseas trips, but there is nothing I can do about it.

Well, let's go back this time and buy a gift for my wife.
