Chapter 238: season finale

Mike Tyson has not been on the court for a long time.
This situation continued until 1995.
On the afternoon of March 6, Tyson received a call from his economic team.
They told Tyson that a man named Jeff Bezos called and he wanted to buy the Amazon trademark.
Jeff Bezos, the future big business man.
The founder of Amazon.
Finally called.
Tyson’s agent team also left Jeff Bezos’ phone number to Tyson.
He immediately dialed the phone number.
A very young voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, this is Jeff Bezos, is there anything?"
Tyson said to the microphone: "I am an Amazon trademark holder, can we meet to discuss this matter?"
Jeff Bezos' voice was obviously a little bit happy: "Of course, if you can, you can give me the address, and I will go there."
Tyson does not intend to let the other party run back and forth, he said: "Shall we arrange a place? It is not far from your home, I will rush there and call you."
Jeff Bezos is a buyer and a buyer.
He did not expect that the other party would actually come to his house to find him.
Just want to sell Amazon's trademark?
"can."
He reported the address of a business club.
...
On the afternoon of the same day, they met in this business hall in New York.
The young Jeff Bezos still has hair, but his temples are very high, and he has signs of hair loss.
When he saw Mike Tyson coming, he was surprised to put an egg in his mouth.
He did not expect that the holder of the Amazon trademark was actually Super Boxer Mike Tyson.
After expressing his surprise, Jeff Bezos said truthfully: "Oh, I don't know that you are the holder of the Amazon trademark. If I know, I probably won't make this call."
He doesn't think Mike Tyson is a person who is short of money. He knows that he will pay no price, and the other party will not be emotional.
Tyson said with a smile: "No, you should make this call because this call is very important to us... Can you tell me about your original intention to set up Amazon?"
Jeff Bezos had a good job. He was the vice president of a headhunting fund company.
But with the explosion of the Internet, Jeff Bezos discovered a surprising number of Internet developments when he rushed up and surfing.
Every year, the number of users of the Internet will increase by a factor of ten.
This made Jeff Bezos aware of huge business opportunities.
He did not hesitate to start a business...
He revealed some of his ideas to Tyson.
"I want to sell goods online. At present, this market is blank. I need an Amazon trademark to register a company. I will sell book CDs online. Now that I have my website, you can check it out."
Jeff Bezos opened his business notebook and opened a business webpage skillfully.
‘Cadabra’ is the name of this virtual business webpage.
This website is under construction, and some basic things have been shown, including hardcover books and CDs.
At present, virtual commerce is definitely a strange thing.
But Jeff Bezos didn't see much surprise on Tyson's face.
Tyson looked at the site and transferred the laptop back to Jeff Bezos.
"Very good! Next we can talk about the trademark."
Jeff Bezos thought for a while and said, "Mike Tyson, you are a super boxer. I have read a lot of your reports. You have a lot of money, but even so, I am still willing to work for this trademark. Pay $17,000."
17,000 US dollars want to buy an unused trademark, the price is very fair.
Tyson smiled and shook his head: "No, $3 million."
Jeff Bezos was almost scared to death by this number.
For him, $3 million is a huge number.
Although he had manipulated hundreds of millions of dollars in funds, the money did not belong to him. The money that really belonged to him was more than 200,000 dollars.
Even with the establishment of Amazon, he needs to raise money everywhere.
Up to now he has drawn 300,000 US dollars.
Now a company's trademark is as high as three million...
He looked at Mike Tyson in surprise.
Does this super boxer want to take advantage of this trademark?
"Okay, Mike Tyson, I don't think we need to continue talking about this trademark. You know, I can't come up with a $3 million..."
Tyson waved his hand to interrupt the other party: "You misunderstood me, I mean: I am willing to invest three million dollars for you to create an Amazon company, and the trademark is given to you."
The ups and downs of life made Jeff feel very exciting.
When he thought that the other party was a big lion, others told him: Brother, the trademark is free for you, and I will invest three million dollars for you.
This sounds like a good thing in the sky!
Jeff Bezos was also alert.
Everyone knows that there is no free lunch in the world. Although Mike Tyson has engaged in a lot of charity activities, Jeff Bezos does not think that he is a bad guy and can give a huge sum of money to others.
"What do I need to pay?"
Tyson said calmly: "I only need 20% of the shares after you set up Amazon."
Jeff Bezos completely froze.
Mike Tyson holds the Amazon trademark, and he has so much money, he can use his own ability to set up a company, I believe this company will continue to appreciate under his influence.
But now he has handed over three million dollars and the Amazon trademark.
His request is only 20% of Amazon's shares.
Although Jeff Bezos didn't understand Tyson's idea, Tyson himself was very clear.
He was not a business genius at all, that is, he made some investments on the track of history.
He knew that Jeff Bezos' ability was definitely a genius in the business world.
The investment of three million dollars is very large for Jeff Bezos, but for Tyson it is quite a bit.
I believe that with the passage of time, his 3 million US dollars will grow up quickly.
It will become 30 million US dollars, 300 million US dollars, 3 billion US dollars, 30 billion US dollars, or even 100 billion US dollars.
In other words, from now on, his 3 million US dollars will have a terrifying reproduction ability.
...
In order to make full use of his assets, he began to invest in Apple and Microsoft.
Apple and Microsoft are among the top players in the computer field.
He invested his 600 million dollars in Apple and Microsoft respectively.
...
When he completed these investments, he was destined not to worry about money in the future.
The profit money of each batch of products under his name can allow him to splurge and live the life he wants.
...
In September 1997, Mike Tyson accepted the challenge of Ukrainian boxing star Vitali Klitschko.
When the news of Tyson's comeback came to the entire sports world, everyone looked forward to it.
Mike Tyson finally got the news again.
With the promotion of the Internet, by the time of 1997, the penetration rate of the Internet has been very high. Many ordinary families have computers and can surf the Internet or play some games.
From this time on, sports promotion started to glow.
A lot of publicity has been posted on the Internet, causing a lot of sensation.
...
In this battle, Tyson still made a lot of publicity~EbookFREE.me~ When the Internet rose, it was destined to refresh the PPV sales record.
Mike Tyson once again broke all the records he set.
...
This game took place on December 13, 1997.
Klitschko is a tall and strong Ukrainian.
He has won the gold belt of wbo and wbc world ordinary boxing champion, and completed three defending.
At the request of the two organizations (wbo still under the influence of Tyson), Klitschko launched a challenge.
...
This is also the most watched game in recent times.
This time Tyson’s odds reached 1:52
As an absolute advantage, Tyson is using his breakthrough to constantly look for the opponent's flaws.
When guarding against the dead, He and Tyson will use a strong blow to break the other party's defense.
In the middle of the fourth round, Tyson made a beautiful uppercut and successfully sent Klitschko to sleep.
When the four organizations held the gold belts of the boxing champions and were about to hang them on Tyson, Tyson refused.
He picked up the microphone and said to everyone: "I once again proved my strength, but at the same time consumed a lot of my patience."
"Now that the heavyweights are dying, one game a year is completely extravagant, and it has even become two or even three years before a few strong fighters appear."
"I don't like games of this frequency anymore."
"I will use my money to do some things I like, such as the Development of Equality Alliance to develop charity funds."
"These are two very meaningful things, okay, let me explain."
"Yes, I choose to retire..."
