Chapter 67

"Mr. John, now that you are here, I don't think you will go anywhere else, right? I think we can talk frankly, which is conducive to the good cooperation between us." Just as Jeff Bezos was in danger, his wife McKenzie interrupted.

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

"OK, Mr. Li, I think the current valuation of our website is $3 million. If you think it can be accepted, we can talk about it. We need an initial financing of $1 million." Bezos immediately responded and returned directly.

"Mr. Bezos, as far as I know, you raised 300000 US dollars when you established the company last year. For the current company, it can't develop so rapidly. After all, according to your business plan, your company can't make a profit for a long time in the future.

I can agree with your valuation of 2 million. According to this valuation, I can invest 1 million. I promise that I only need 45% of the shares included in the home page directory on Yahoo.

In the future, we can promise not to participate in the management of the company, and only reserve the seats on the board of directors and financial supervision. In the board of directors, I will promise to support your decision and ensure your rights in the management of the company. "

......

The two husband and wife thought for a while, discussed it, then haggled like a vegetable market, and finally reached a cooperation.

Although the general angel investment gives up less than 25% of the shares, considering Li Feng's commitment not to participate in management and support his own management of the enterprise, coupled with the temptation of the included links on Yahoo website, Li Feng successfully completed the angel investment.

In fact, the two couples who came out to start a business as Wall Street elites never thought that if the company developed and grew, their shares could be absolutely controlled by more than 50%.

In fact, Bezos tried to try the initial offer of 3 million, and the two agreed in principle on the final valuation of 2.5 million. Yes, after some bargaining, an agreement was reached on the valuation of 2.5 million. Li Feng invested 1 million, accounting for 40% of the shares.

Think about it. The company was founded by 300000 last year and now has a valuation of 2.5 million, an increase of nearly 8 times. What are you dissatisfied with, and there is a premise to include Yahoo directory. In this way, the company will certainly be able to further develop.

At the same time, Li Feng also promised to support himself in the board of directors and in enterprise management in the future, and he will not participate in management himself.

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

Then it was simple. Zach drafted the agreement and successfully completed the shareholding agreement. As long as it was signed, it could take effect.

In fact, Li Feng really wants to invest millions directly to become the controlling shareholder of the company. Unfortunately, Bezos and his wife disagree.

......

"Now that you have agreed to my request, I also make some simple requests."

Hearing Li Feng's proposal, Bezos and his wife were surprised again. They thought Li Feng had repented and immediately stared at Li Feng.

"Oh, don't worry. I think about our company's website. The first point is the website address and domain name. Do you think it's too cumbersome? It's better to be a simple one."

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

"I have a proposal. What do you think of Amazon, a-m-a-z-o-n. If you think about it, today's Internet search is based on letters, then the first letter of our website is a, and the Amazon is famous all over the world, which is more memorable, isn't it? "

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

......

After hearing Li Feng's explanation, Bezos and his wife, as well as shelkapan, the original employee, felt that Amazon was very good, and immediately agreed with joy.

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

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

Li Feng explained to them that when their company is ready, the website also adopts a new domain name and goes online again, just notify yourself. At that time, he will directly put the money into the company's account, and then help to contact Yahoo and include the Amazon website as soon as possible.

After that, I didn't stop. I chatted with Mr. and Mrs. Bezos, said hello, and went directly to the airport in the drizzle.

......

Originally, I wanted to take a good look at this city, which has been rated as the best livable city in the United States for many times, or go to see the legendary Microsoft headquarters, but I lost interest when I looked at the drizzle.

Another, just won the South African diamond, thinking about the beauty of the beauty, I immediately thought of going back to Los Angeles.

It can be said that this trip to Seattle came and went in a hurry, and completed the initial idea with high efficiency, even far exceeding their own estimates.

You know, 40% of the shares are far more than your own estimation. Even if you dilute it later, it is estimated that 10% should be there. It will be tens of billions of business. It's exciting to think about it.

"John, it's over. It's much simpler than the previous Yahoo." In the taxi, Zach turned back and said to Li Feng.

"Ha ha, investment, that's it. There's not much investment. As for whether it can be done, it depends on whether the company's managers can do it."

Zach also experienced several investments. He nodded and agreed with Li Feng's point of view, and then chatted.

In fact, at this time, financing is really simple, especially for Internet enterprises. The network tide has not yet risen. Many Internet companies have no channels for financing at all, including Amazon. The initial financing of many companies is tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. It is difficult to find millions of venture capital like Li Feng.

Mr. and Mrs. Bezos have been looking for financing before, but even if they had Wall Street hedge fund experience, they couldn't succeed in financing.

It can be said that the Internet will not really ferment until Netscape is successfully listed and all talents begin to realize the development prospect of the Internet.

......

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

He got into Joseph's car and headed for the villa.

"Hi, Sally, where is it?"

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

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

"Yes, the investment has been completed. I don't think you're waiting for me in Los Angeles. You'll come back directly after you're busy. I want to be with you all the time."

"Of course, how can I lie to you? Well, I'll wait for you in the villa."

Well, when Li Feng returned to Los Angeles, he had a telephone conversation with Charlize and talked sweet words, which made Charlize laugh on the way shopping.

I don't know that Li Feng has come back. Charlize said he would meet him directly in the villa area soon. It seems that Li Feng's sweet words have a good effect.
