The next morning, Feng Yu went out for a jog and a walk with his dog. In the neighborhood, he met many people who might be his neighbors. But they kept their distance from Feng Yu. This was because Feng Yu had two bodyguards with him when he was jogging!
The residents in the neighborhood knew a tycoon, a shareholder and director of Microsoft, was staying in their neighborhood. It was not a big deal for a tycoon like him to bring two bodyguards with him. But since you are so rich, why don't you buy a mansion? Why are you staying in our neighborhood?
The residents could not understand why this tycoon was so young and was an Asian. Everything about him was mysterious, and Feng Yu did not know many young women had their eyes on him.
These women did not have high expectations, and they did not have to marry Feng Yu. They only wanted to get close to Feng Yu and make use of Feng Yu's connections to become famous. The rumored girlfriend of Microsoft's director will definitely be famous.
They saw Feng Yu was jogging with his dog and thought of a way to strike up a conversation with him.
… …
After breakfast, Ralph also arrived. He gave an address and asked the chauffeur to drive there.
After alighting, Feng Yu shook his head. This was the number two internet company in his previous life, Amazon? This place was too shabby.
Feng Yu was curious. The office was small, but what about the warehouse? Amazon was selling books, and they must have a warehouse. Didn't the internet claim that there were hundreds of thousands of books to choose from? Then there should be at least 10 million books in the warehouse. Where were the books stored?
Ralph could tell Feng Yu was puzzled and explained softly. "Boss, there is a warehouse over there. Amazon had rented the warehouse, and their books are stored there. They will ship out their books at noon and at night."
"Ok. Let's go in."
A few people walked in, and the one leading the group was a bodyguard in a black suit. The Amazon staff was stunned. Who are these people? What are they doing here?
"How can I help you?" The receptionist asked.
"Go and inform your boss, Jeff. Tell him the person he is waiting for is here." Ralph said.
Before the receptionist called, Jeff walked over from the innermost office. "Is this Mr Feng?"
When Jeff walked up to him, Feng Yu stretched out his hand and shook Jeff's hand: "Hi, I'm Feng."
"Mr Feng, please come in. Katie, get the coffee ready. "
The moment he saw Feng Yu, Jeff was a little absent-minded. Fortunately, he was a little far away from Feng Yu, so Feng Yu didn't notice.
There were rumors that a very young Chinese director had come to Microsoft. They had not thought much of this rumor, but now, they realized that this rumor was true!
The East was indeed a mysterious place. There was actually such a young man with such wealth!
"Mr Feng, I heard from your secretary that you are interested in my company?" Jeff asked directly.
Feng Yu looked at Jeff with a smile. "Not exactly. I'm not just interested in your company, I'm also interested in you. How did you come up with the idea of selling books online? "
"I am a book lover. But I realized that although there are many types of books available in bookstores, no bookstore has a full selection of books. Also, the staff in the bookstore cannot find the books their customers want quickly. I want to create such a website so that customers can find the books they want in the shortest time. Also, I can provide customers with more choices than ordinary bookstores. "
Ralph looked at Jeff in shock and then at his boss. What Jeff said was the same as what Feng Yu said yesterday.
"Ok. This is a good idea. Based on your estimation, how long will it take for Amazon to make profits? How much do you think the profits will be? "
"Five years to build up our customer base and reputation. After five years, we will start making profits. The annual profits will not be less than 10 million USD!" Jeff replied confidently.
Ralph had a disdainful look on his face. Five years to make profits? Isn't the investment too long? Five years later, the annual profit will only be 10 million USD. This investment should be done by those old men who want stability. Feng Yu should be very disappointed.
Feng Yu is a tycoon. Will he waste his time to make money? Seems like this investment is going to fail.
"Jeff, have you ever thought that your business plan is too conservative? You can only start making profits after five years. The 10 million USD profit is the highest you can achieve, right? What if we still cannot make profits after five years? What if the profits are only a few million USD? What will you do? "Feng Yu asked.
Jeff is not afraid of Feng Yu asking too many questions. He is only afraid that Feng Yu will not ask any questions. The more he asks, the more interested he is.
"I am confident that we can make profits after five years. As for the profits, I can't guarantee it. But after our customer base matures, we can also sell peripheral products, everything related to books, such as bookmarks, pens, notebooks, and other stationery. Then, we can expand bit by bit. "
"That means you want to set up an online shopping mall? Do you know how much this will cost? Also, how risky is this? "Feng Yu crossed his legs. Amazon will still follow the same path as in Feng Yu's previous life.
"No. It will only be related to books. Of course, if the customer base stabilizes, we can also expand into other areas. "Jeff said.
Feng Yu raised his brows. Feng Yu does not want to set up an online shopping mall? That means his idea is not mature yet. The online shopping mall in Feng Yu's previous life is a product of the industry's development.
"How much is your company's registered capital? How many shareholders are there? Is there a board of directors? "Feng Yu asked.
"My company's registered capital is 30 million USD. There are 16 shareholders and a board of directors. A total of seven people, and I am the Chairman."
Only 30 million USD registered capital? That's not a high investment. Feng Yu had decided to invest in Amazon. Even if it is only this person or using Amazon as an experiment, Feng Yu does not think it is a loss.
"I am interested in your company and would like to invest in it. Don't get too excited. I am not a venture capitalist. I want the voting shares. You can call for a board of directors meeting to decide if you want to accept my investment. "
"Mr Feng, can I ask how much are you going to invest?" Jeff asked.
"30 to 50 million is not too much. 3 to 5 million is not too little. I have said that I am interested in your company, but I am more interested in you as a person. I am here to help you achieve your dreams! "Feng Yu starts to persuade Jeff.
Jeff was touched by what Feng Yu said. He almost cried. Those greedy investors only know how to make money.
"Mr Feng, I promise I will convince the board of directors and give you a reply soon. Three days, within three days, I will give you a satisfactory answer! "
