After watching the second match, Feng Yu flew to Seattle. This time, Feng Yu was not only visiting the companies in Seattle, but he also wanted to bring Tycoon back to China.
In the morning, Feng Yu wore his sportswear and went out for a walk with Tycoon. Tycoon was overjoyed to see Feng Yu. It was waiting for Feng Yu to bring it out of Feng Yu's room early in the morning.
Feng Yu was holding Tycoon's hand as he strolled around the neighborhood. As usual, there were bodyguards around him. Over the past few years, many of the residents in the neighborhood had changed.
For example, two of Seattle's basketball stars had left for other teams, and their houses were sold. The US real estate industry had developed well over the past few years, and those residents were making money from their houses.
On the way back, Feng Yu saw a familiar face. That person saw Feng Yu and was stunned. He quickly walked over and greeted. "Mr Feng, you are back."
Feng Yu nodded. "Huh? You are?" Feng Yu thought the person looked familiar, but he could not remember who he was.
That person replied awkwardly. "Mr Feng, you had bought Amazon's shares from me before." That person said this with a bitter tone.
At that time, Feng Yu had offered a high price, and that person was satisfied with the price he sold his shares.
But who would have thought that Amazon is doing so well? It's much better than what Jeff Bezos had described to them.
Amazon was still a small company, and it was still an online business. That person could not follow the trend and make money from the stock market because it was not listed. After selling his shares to Feng Yu, he invested his money into the stock market.
At the start, tech companies had made a lot of money. At that time, his net worth had increased, and he felt it was a wise decision to sell Amazon's shares. Amazon was still making losses at that time.
But soon, the dotcom bubble happened, and he lost a lot of his shares. Although he cut his losses in time to recover his capital, his net worth had shrunk by 90%.
For the next two to three years, the US economy was not doing well, and the stock market had been falling. But Amazon had made profits at this time.
When all the internet companies were making losses, Amazon had made profits, and Bezos regretted it.
But Amazon's profits are not high, and Feng Yu did not mind. He invested his funds in other industries. Although he did not make high profits, he still got some returns.
But these few years, Amazon's profits increased by leaps and bounds. In 2002, Amazon's profits were less than 10 million USD. But in 2003, Amazon's profits increased to 100 million USD, and in 2004, it increased to 400 million USD.
After that, Amazon got listed and expanded to many countries and regions around the world. The company's market value increased to a few billion USD, and its profits last year was more than 1 billion USD!
This year, Amazon's profits had exceeded 400 million USD in the first quarter, and Amazon's profits for the whole year will exceed 1.8 billion USD in the second quarter.
This is pure profits!
If Bezos had not sold Amazon's shares and continued to work at Amazon like Jeff Bezos, his shares would be worth a few hundred million USD now, and this is not including the dividends Amazon gave its shareholders!
The money that he had taken away to invest had not even earned 10 million USD. Bezos regretted his decision, and he could not sleep at night.
His wife kept scolding him because of this, and they quarreled frequently. In the end, they divorced. Bezos had not only divided his assets to his wife, but he still had to pay his children's alimony.
Fortunately, his own small company was doing well, which gave him some comfort.
When he saw Feng Yu today, he could not help but go over to greet him. He even hoped that he could return to Amazon if possible.
It was impossible for him to become one of Amazon's top 10 shareholders. But Bezos felt he could still become a senior executive with his capabilities. This way, he could also get shares and sleep well at night.
Feng Yu heard what Bezos said and knocked his head … he still could not remember this person's name.
Feng Yu had only met this person a few times. But after that, Ralph was in charge of the acquisitions. That's why Feng Yu remembered him.
Feng Yu pretended to remember him. "Oh, it's you. You seem to be living a good life. You're going out to work, right? I won't disturb you then. "
"Mr Feng, I am Santos. Sigma Santos. Mr Feng, are you going to Amazon this time? "
Feng Yu could tell this Santos has something to say. Feng Yu remembered this Santos could be a tycoon, but now, he is only living well. Feng Yu decided to listen to what he has to say.
Of course, Feng Yu is not apologetic. Feng Yu did not use any illegal means to invest in Amazon. He had bought those shares with real money.
When he bought Amazon's shares, he had spent a lot of money, and the price was so high.
"I am going to Amazon today. What's up?"
"Mr Feng, it's like this. I am also managing a company, but it is very small compared to Amazon. When Jeff Bezos set up Amazon, I had supported him. Moreover, I have good experience in the management of a company. "
"I wonder if Amazon can give me a chance, or should I say, Mr Feng can give me a chance to return to Amazon." Santos looked at Feng Yu.
"Tycoon, don't worry. You will be home soon." Feng Yu comforted this tycoon and looked at Santos. "I don't care about Amazon's matters. I will let Jeff Bezos and the rest handle everything. Why don't you try to convince Jeff Bezos instead? I still have something on. Bye. "
Santos looked at Feng Yu disappointedly as he left. Why did he not try to convince Jeff Bezos? Jeff Bezos was furious with him for his betrayal and did not want to talk to him.
Seems like Santos will never be able to return to Amazon. It's better for him to manage his own real estate agency. The real estate industry is doing well now, and he can still make money.
If Feng Yu knew Santos was in the real estate industry, he would surely give him some advice. For example, he will consider changing his career next year.
But Santos did not say anything, and Feng Yu will not ask. Santos didn't know that he had once again missed a good opportunity, and this time, his career had suffered a heavier blow!
