441 Not Now

It’s not impossible to get along, it’s okay to talk about this matter a few years later.

Ye Dongqing attaches great importance to Walmart's huge employee base and its influence on major guilds, but it is definitely not possible to talk about mergers right now. At least it will have to wait until Amazon's market value is 400 to 500 billion US dollars.

Many shareholders were persuaded by him and were willing to support Ye Dongqing and avoid asking Bezos to agree to the conditions given by Walmart.

But after an in-depth investigation, it was found that Walmart gave the middle and senior managers a lot of verbal benefits in the proposal. As long as the merger case can be reached, it promises not to fire existing employees, and will also give these employees the equity rewards, which is clearly intended to win over them.

This explains very well why Jeff Bezos has paranoid thoughts. It seems that the gang of people under his command have been filled with a lot of ecstasy recently.

Walmart has made open conspiracies and is willing to pay a considerable price. It can be seen that there must be some people among the top leaders who are firmly optimistic about Amazon, or some shareholders want Walmart to move closer to the term "semi-Internet enterprise" to promote the development of stock prices and give it more development potential.

This is normal. The supermarket field has been developing for so many years, and it is as huge as Walmart. It should be looking for other new markets. Unfortunately, it happened to be popular with Amazon, which Ye Dongqing valued.

Judging from the current market value and merger offer, Walmart is actually quite kind. Otherwise, Bezos, who once said in person, would not be shaken easily. As long as he nodded, his total wealth could soar by more than 60% in a very short period of time. This is a matter of striking people, and it is nothing more than a matter of weighing the left and right.

Ye Dongqing can see it thoroughly than anyone else.

It’s useless to have him alone, but others need to support him. After all, not everyone is as lucky as him. With the experience of making judgments on future development trends, more people can only take one step at a time.

I checked into the Hilton Hotel that night and did not meet the Hilton sisters. I didn’t rush to find Bezos the next morning. I went to Gates’ house to check out the whale sharks he raised, and also to the collections in the study. The luxury and incredible things in others’ eyes were just the “ordinary life” in Ye Dongqing’s eyes. I thought it was not bad, but I didn’t make a fuss. Instead, I felt that Gates’ aesthetic was a bit problematic.

You can't just talk about the company, otherwise Ye Dongqing really wants to communicate with Gates and knows that the opportunity to make money is in his own hands, but some people want to give this opportunity part of them to Walmart shareholders for nothing. It's a very depressing thing to think about it. If Netflix makes him unhappy, he will probably say that the liquidation will be liquidated. However, Amazon's growth space is too large, and even Ye Dongqing can't bear to leave it alone.

He brought a tiger-shaped bronze ware that he had taken a fancy to, a bottle of 19th-century wine. He left shortly after being a guest. There was no need to be polite to Gates. When the robber came to his own house, Gates didn't care.

Come to Amazon and talk to Bezos in person again.

It was noon, and Ye Dongqing had bought a hot dog on the street to eat it. The taste was not good. The inferior cheese made him very upset. He sat in the office, crossed his legs and asked, "Do you remember what I talked to you last night? I was worried that you would forget everything if you drank too much."

? "I remember after you came. I drank two more drinks after you left. I didn't remember the rest. I didn't expect you to have such a big reaction. In fact, I think mergers are a good thing. The problems between us should be solved first. If you have any ideas, you can tell them now."

Disagreement between managers and major shareholders has always been a taboo in doing business. Bezos said frankly that he really wanted to resolve the conflict before making the final decision.

The consequences may be serious, but the incident itself is not serious and it is just disagreement. It has nothing to do with character and character. Even if the couple occasionally quarrels, there are naturally more problems between business partners.

"So, I think Amazon's current market value is far underestimated. It has full hope of growing into a giant similar to Microsoft, and there is no competitor worth caring for at present. Working with a long-standing retail company with no future is tantamount to suicide.

My suggestion is that you wait a little longer, but it’s just a premium of 60%. Maybe by the end of the year, Amazon’s total market value will grow to that number. Why do you need to kill a chicken to get eggs?”

Ye Dongqing opened the skylight and said: "Maybe other executives have recently agreed with the merger. In my opinion, it is mostly for their own interests and is not objective. You know what Walmart promised them to you. Look at such an amazing turnover growth rate and an increasingly large user base, why are you anxious? Why don't you want to take over Walmart, but become a part of it?"

I really care. He hasn't paid attention to business for a long time, and hasn't said such a long sentence to persuade anyone. Usually, others often persuade Ye Dongqing to get his consent.

This made him pay more and more attention to the importance of the right to speak. To be fair, it was much easier to persuade Jobs than to persuade Bezos. The former could be said to be working for him, but the person in front of him was the actual power of Amazon.

Bezos probably did not expect that Ye Dongqing would have such high expectations for Amazon. Currently, Microsoft's market value is more than 20 times that of Amazon. Seeing Ye Dongqing's serious look, unlike joking, he began to reflect on whether his ideas were correct and whether after the merger, it would really be more beneficial than disadvantages for Amazon.

After hearing what Ye Dongqing said, the original affirmative answer became ambiguous. He finally changed his mouth and rubbed his eyebrows and told: "Now he just has this idea. I haven't really decided how to choose yet. I will seriously consider your suggestions. If I mean, what would you do if the result is different from yours?"

"…Empty all Amazon stocks and support eBay, or set up a company by yourself. With the influence of Walmart, I don't think it's too difficult to defeat Amazon at that time. I never talk big in such a money-related business."

I also have the confidence to say such things.

Ye Dongqing doesn't want things to develop on the bad side, but she is not afraid of encountering difficulties. With many companies with a large user base in hand, she can indeed quickly create a new company. She already has the experience of starting a business in China. It is probably not too difficult, and she doesn't have to worry about having no customers.

Bezos believed that he could do such a thing, and the balance in his heart quickly shook.

Next, he had an in-depth conversation and exchanged some opinions and ideas. Ye Dongqing didn't know whether he could convince Bezos. What he knew was that he would not be persuaded by Bezos...
