Rebirth

"Mr. John, I think since you are here, you should not go to other places anymore, right? I think we can talk frankly and openly, so that it will benefit our good cooperation." Just as Jeff Bezos When he was in distress, his wife McKenzie interrupted.

"Well, in fact, I hope that both of us can be sincere, for example, you can sincerely have an accurate valuation of your company."

"OK, Mr. Li, I think our website is currently valued at 3 million U.S. dollars. If you think it is acceptable, we can talk about it. We need 1 million U.S. dollars in initial financing." Bezos also responded immediately at this time. Reply directly.

"Mr. Bezos, as far as I know, you also raised 300,000 U.S. dollars when you established the company last year. For the current company, it is impossible to develop so quickly. After all, according to your business plan, for a long time in the future, Your company cannot be profitable.

I can agree with your valuation of 2 million. According to this valuation, I can invest 1 million and promise to be included in the homepage catalog on Yahoo. I only need 45% of the shares.

In the future, you can promise not to participate in the management of the company, and only retain the board of directors and financial supervision.In the board of directors, I will promise to support your decision and guarantee your rights in the management of the company."

......

The two couples thought for a while, discussed it, and then bargained like a vegetable market, and finally reached a cooperation.

Although the general angel investment, letting out shares is less than 25%, but considering Li Feng's promise not to participate in management, support his own management of the company, and the temptation of Yahoo website inclusion links, Li Feng successfully completed the angel investment.

In fact, the two husbands and wives who came out as Wall Street elites to start their own businesses have never thought that if the company develops and grows, their shares can be absolutely controlled by more than 50%.

For the initial price of 3 million, Bezos actually tried to give it a try. At the same time, the final valuation of 2.5 million was agreed in principle by the two.Yes, after some bargaining, an agreement was finally reached on a valuation of 2.5 million yuan, and Li Feng invested 1 million yuan, occupying 40% of the shares.

Think about it. Last year, 300,000 people founded the company, and now it is valued at 2.5 million, an increase of nearly 8 times. What else is unsatisfactory, and there is also a prerequisite to include the Yahoo catalog. In this way, the company will definitely be able to develop further.

At the same time, Li Feng also promised his support for himself in the board of directors and his support for corporate management, and he will not participate in management.

Although there are fewer shares in the company listed, the company is still in control and management, and there is no reason not to agree. Therefore, after thinking about it, he agreed to Li Feng's request.

After that, it was simple. Zach drafted the agreement and successfully completed the shareholding agreement, which would take effect as long as it was signed.

In fact, Li Feng really wants to invest several million directly to make himself the holding company of the company. Unfortunately, the two Bezos and his wife disagree.

......

"Since the two agreed to my request, I also made some simple requests."

Hearing Li Feng's proposal, the Bezos and his wife were shocked again, thinking that Li Feng had repented, and immediately stared at Li Feng.

"Haha, don't worry, I am thinking about our company's website. First of all, the first point is the website URL and domain name. Is it too cumbersome? It's better to be simple."

"Haha, John, you can scare us, yes, we have actually changed the domain name once, but we really didn't think of a better domain name."

"I have a suggestion. What do you think of'Amazon', AMAZON. Think about it. Now Internet searches are searched by letters. Then the first letter of our website is A, and the Amazon River is famous all over the world. It's more memorable, isn't it."

Well, just like Yahoo before, Li Feng directly used it.

......

Hearing Li Feng's explanation, the Bezos and the original employee, Shel Capan, felt that Amazon was very good, and they all agreed with joy.

"That's fine, but in this case, you need to re-register Amazon. Then I will participate in the establishment of the company as an angel investor in my own name."

After that, it was simple. First, they signed an agreement, and then asked Bezos to change the name, shareholders, etc. of their own company. Li Feng didn't care about these. Anyway, his previous life has proved Bezos' success.

Li Feng explained to them that when their company is ready, the website adopts a new domain name and is back online, just notify himself. When that happens, he will directly deposit the money into the company account, and then he will help contact Yahoo and include the Amazon website as soon as possible. .

After that, I didn't stay, chatted with the Bezos and his wife for a while, said hello, and greeted the drizzle and went directly to the airport.

......

I was thinking about strolling around this city that has been rated as the best livable city in the United States for many times, or to see the legendary Microsoft headquarters, but watching the drizzle, I suddenly lost interest.

Another one, I just won the South African diamond, thinking about the beauty of the beautiful woman, and immediately thinking about returning to Los Angeles.

It can be said that this trip to Seattle came and went in a hurry. The original idea was completed with super efficiency, even far exceeding my own estimates.

You know, but 40% of the shares are far beyond your own estimate. Even if you dilute it in the later stage, it is estimated that 10% should always be available.By then it will be a business worth tens of billions.It's exciting to think about it.

"John, it's over like this. This is much easier than the previous Yahoo." In the taxi, Zach turned around and said to Li Feng.

"Haha, investment, just like that, not much investment, as to whether it can be done, it depends on whether the company's managers can do it."

Zach can be considered a few investments in person. After thinking about it, he nodded and agreed with Li Feng's point of view, and then started chatting.

In fact, financing is really simple at this time, especially for Internet companies. The Internet tide has not yet started. Many Internet companies have no financing channels at all, including Amazon. The initial financing of many companies is tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. Li Feng's generous venture capital with millions of dollars at every turn is hard to find.

The Bezos and his wife had already sought financing before, but even if they had worked in a Wall Street hedge fund, they could not successfully raise funds.

It can be said that it will not be until the successful listing of Netscape that all talents begin to realize the development prospects of the Internet.

......

I bid farewell to the rainy Seattle. In the evening, I returned to Los Angeles again. Facing the warm sunshine of California, I completed a perfect short trip to Seattle. I was in a surprisingly good mood.

The car driven by Joseph came up to pick up the people, and headed for the villa.

"Hi, Sally, where is it?"

"Oh, shopping here in Hollywood, with Harry Berry?"

"Oh, yes, I'm back, then I'll go back to the villa first."

"Yes, the investment has been completed. I don't think you are waiting for me in Los Angeles. I will come back when I'm not busy. I want to be with you all the time."

"Of course, how could I lie to you, well, I will wait for you at the villa."

Well, when Li Feng returned to Los Angeles, he talked to Charlize on the phone and said sweet words, which made Charlize laugh while shopping.

No, knowing that Li Feng has already returned, Charlize said that he would go directly to the villa area to meet him soon. It seems that Li Feng's sweet words are effective.
