Super Tycoon

Chapter 828 Bezos’ ambition

After initially finalizing the matter of investing in New York real estate, Zhang Yang didn't care about the follow-up operation, and handed it over to Will to follow up. In fact, he is not good at business negotiations.

At the beginning, he used more money to invest in some industries that he was optimistic about. Many people thought that others were stupid and rich, but judging from the current rate of return, many people began to secretly call Zhang Yang an investment genius.

For example, the stock price of Amazon, which he invested in before, has now risen to more than 80 US dollars, with a total market value of more than 40 billion US dollars. This is due to the decline in the market in the past two years, which led to the decline in Amazon's stock price, otherwise it will definitely be higher.

During this period of time, Blu-ray Investment has increased its shareholding in Amazon. As Zhang Yang’s representative and director of Amazon’s shareholders, Will naturally knows the potential of Amazon.

The original investment has risen nearly ten times. In the next ten years, it will continue to rise by more than ten times, or even twenty times.

In the past few days, Bezos is also here in New York, investigating a business, and today just finished, so I came to talk to Zhang Yang by the way.

...

"Zhang, why don't you go to Amazon's headquarters when you have time? You are the representative of the company's major shareholder, and the shareholding ratio is higher than mine." Bezos handed Zhang Yang a red wine in his hand, changing Shoes said with a smile.

"You are in charge of Amazon, why should I worry about it? I invested in Amazon because I was optimistic about your talent. Now it seems that my original decision was very wise." Zhang Yang opened the red wine, poured it into a decanter, and put it to the coffee table.

There are only some snacks and dried fruits on the coffee table as appetizers, and there is no one else in the room.

"With your stake, Amazon has more funds and can develop better. In the past two years, Amazon has expanded rapidly, and we have entered the European and Asian markets."

Bezos is a little proud. Many Internet companies went bankrupt before the turn of the millennium. Only a few survived, and their prices were comparable to those of Amazon. The others were either acquired or are now the same. Half dead.

Surviving one crisis does not mean that we can survive many crises. Internet companies burn a lot of money, and not all Internet companies have so many investors who are willing to keep injecting capital.

Just like Amazon, it only started to make a profit in 2004, but it didn't start to distribute a small amount of dividends to shareholders until the year before last. During this period, many investors also changed.

Some people think that Amazon has reached the end of its development, and it is likely to become a bubble. It does not know when it will burst, so they have already made money and left as soon as possible.

There are also some people who think that Amazon still has potential, so they buy from others and want to hold it for a long time.

Of course, some companies were forced to sell Amazon shares due to lack of funds when the subprime mortgage crisis broke out in the past two years. Now some companies have survived the crisis and want to buy back Amazon shares, but they find that the price is not only high No one wants to sell yet.

"You are developing well. Maybe in another ten years, you will become the world's top rich man. But I heard that your development in China is not as good as expected?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.

"Zhang, this is what I want to tell you. I heard that Huaxia has a C2C Internet company called Alibaba, which also has your investment? You seem to be the major shareholder?"

"Yeah, I seem to be a competitor with you now." Zhang Yang looked at Bezos with a smile,

Not just Alibaba, I also invest in B2C, C2B, B2B and other Internet business companies, and I can make a lot of money in the future.

It seems that Amazon is much stronger, but just like Ali, even in the previous life, it was the top company in the world, because they have Alipay and Ant Financial.

"Mr. Zhang, why don't you help me make peace, I want to talk to Ma Yun from Alibaba, and merge Alibaba into Amazon." Bezos finally expressed his intention.

If this can be achieved, it will win a large market with a population of more than one billion people, which will definitely bring Amazon's business to a higher level. Even in a few years, the market value will soar several times and become a giant group. .

"You want to swallow Ali, right? The ambition is not small, but do you have enough money?" Zhang Yang asked back.

"I can issue additional shares to raise funds. There are too many financial institutions willing to invest in our Amazon now. I am confident that I can raise one to two billion US dollars." Bezos looked full of confidence.

Only in this way, his equity will also be diluted, but he will find a way to guarantee his voting rights.

In particular, Zhang Dong seems unwilling to manage the company and feels bothered, but he is willing. As long as Director Zhang supports him, his position will be absolutely secure, and the company will develop rapidly according to his ideas.

"One to two billion dollars, is it a lot? Since you know that Alibaba has my investment and I am still a major shareholder, why do you think I will support you in acquiring the other party?"

"What you pay with stock is nothing more than increasing my common stock in Amazon, and the voting rights will not increase much. If it is a merger, I can still consider it."

Mergers and acquisitions look similar, but in fact they are very different. Mergers and acquisitions are dominated by Amazon, and Alibaba has become a holding subsidiary of Amazon.

The merger is the combination of two companies, just like Chaowei Eagle Weida, so as to ensure that Zhang Yang has a higher shareholding ratio and has more voice.

Although Alibaba’s valuation at this time is far inferior to that of Amazon, but if it wants to sell it for 10 billion or 20 billion US dollars, Ma Yun agrees, but Zhang Yang disagrees.

Bezos suddenly thought of Chaowei Eagle Weida. They were originally two companies, Zhang Yang held shares, and later merged, Zhang Yang became a major shareholder, and now he is the chairman of Chaowei Eagle Weida. Behind the scenes real rulers.

If Amazon merges with Alibaba, can his seat still be secured? Will the company have only one CEO? Will there be another co-CEO? Even he was replaced?

"Director Zhang, mergers and acquisitions are better for Amazon's development. Amazon has more members and a more mature model."

Zhang Yang shook his head: "Have you thought about what Amazon will face if the merger is successful? An antitrust investigation!"

Just this sentence made Bezos silent.

Microsoft, which was in full swing at the beginning, was almost split up by this investigation, let alone Amazon at this time did not have that kind of background strength.

Then the merger is unlikely to be realized, and the Huaxia government will not agree to it.

Bezos sighed: "I understand. Then I can only choose to acquire some shopping websites in Europe and other regions, so as to expand the company's operating scale."

The company still has money, and the pace of expansion cannot be stopped. If the Huaxia road does not work, then go to Europe. Sooner or later, Amazon will grow into a giant business group!
