Chapter 429: If you can convince me

"Mr. Zhang, these are not temporary intentions, but I have long wanted to find cooperation with your company. Now the development of the Internet mall is better than you think. We have 10 million members and we can also push advertisements to their mailboxes. Even if half of them are interested in your company’s products, how much sales can they increase?"
Zhang Yang would like to say, are you sure you really have 10 million members? Registered users and active users are completely different concepts.
What's more, even if there are really 10 million active users, how can we guarantee that at least half of us will be interested in our products and even buy them?
Listing data is a common way for many Internet companies to invest. When Zhang Yang's predecessor did a mobile game, he did so. However, the data is still very different from the actual. If it is a book sales, Zhang Yang is very confident about Amazon at that time, but the game product, Amazon is just a newcomer.
"Mr. Bezos, if we cooperate, how can you ensure that our products can be purchased by consumers? You also need to spend money to push ads. Do you have enough advertising fees? Are you planning to let me out?"
Bezos froze for a moment. He hadn't said it yet. How could the other party guess it?
On the surface, Amazon has created a sales platform and made less profits, allowing Zhiduoxing to pay for advertising. In fact, they can also borrow Zhiduoxing products to promote Amazon and increase their membership.
Even if Amazon doesn’t make a penny, they can sell Zhiduoxing’s best-selling products on their platform. This is success, and it will give consumers the impression that their platform products are very complete.
Unfortunately, his careful thinking seemed to be seen through.
He thought Zhang Yang was very young, but he became the president of Zhiduoxing by the light of his father. Now it seems that he is too small to underestimate each other.
"Mr. Zhang, our company does have some shortage of funds now, but you can rest assured that we are planning to split the stock again, and at the same time issue some more, there will be enough funds."
"Well, how much do you plan to issue additional shares? If I remember correctly, you had already split the stock once at the beginning of the year. At that time, you also issued some additional shares and raised a lot of funds. It seems to be used to repay debts."
"Several new businesses you added this year seem to be losing money, and your debt ratio is increasing. How can I believe you have the funds to promote our products instead of using our products to attract consumers?"
"Our Zhiduoxing products are the most popular in any game store, and are also the most popular in the electronic product counters of large supermarkets such as Walmart."
"Many game stores are even willing to reduce their profit margins in order to sell our products, and they will post posters of our products at the door to attract consumers to buy in."
"How do I believe that you can make our cooperation a win-win situation?"
Bezos was jammed, and he didn't expect Zhang Yang to clarify his words so directly. He was also thinking about how to get the other party to agree to sell the product on Amazon's platform.
If it was last year, he could not care about profits, but this year will not work, the company's money has been spent, the debt ratio is higher, and bank loans can not be borrowed.
If you continue to lose money, I am afraid that the company's stock price will really fall sharply, then the company will go bankrupt!
For a listed company with a high debt ratio, bankruptcy is often a short time. If there is big capital behind you, you don’t have to worry about it. Some people have a way to increase the stock price. But now those big capital shareholders want to annex their shares.
He had gambled on all his net worth, and let his wife suffer with him. Wasn't he just making big money in the future and becoming a rich man? If the company goes bankrupt, he will go bankrupt, and even consumption will be restricted in the future. How can he make a comeback?
His only bargaining chip now is Amazon's stock. I just don’t know if the other party is interested, after all, there are still many companies that evaluate Amazon as an Internet bubble, and it breaks after a poke.
For this purpose, I can only try it.
"Mr. Zhang, as an outsider, naturally does not understand the detailed data of our Amazon. No matter how good I say, you may not believe it. But if you become a partner of Amazon, then you will definitely believe in the future of Amazon."
"Partner? You let me take a stake in Amazon?" Zhang Yang looked unbelievable, "Mr. Bezos, we were talking about your platform selling my company's products, how could it be that I want to take a share in you What about the company?"
"Frankly speaking, the development momentum of Internet companies today is indeed very strong, but many economists believe that this is a bubble that will soon be broken."
"And as a company that has been established for more than five years and has been listed for more than two years, Amazon's growth rate is too slow. In the same period, the company has a market value of tens of billions. How much is Amazon?"
"Others' revenue growth ~ EbookFREE.me ~ can exceed 200% or even 500% every year. What is the growth rate of Amazon's revenue scale?"
"I also have a financial investment company in my name, with not many assets, five or six billion dollars. I haven't invested in Internet companies, but like Amazon, I can't see enough to attract me."
"In this way, I am here. If you can persuade me, I will take a share in your Amazon. If you don’t dare to say more, a billion-dollar investment is still fine."
Bezos is overjoyed, this is really a big boss, a billion dollars, the company can definitely develop.
He also knows that his own business philosophy in recent years is different from that of many shareholders of the company, and some shareholders have left. Some people think that he is too conservative. He should quickly open an online bookstore in various developed countries around the world using Amazon’s original template. The company must have developed, and profitability is a matter of a year or two.
Some people say that since you want to be an online mall, if you want to have a wide range of products, you will go all the time and turn Amazon into a department store website, but Bezos is unwilling to say that she wants to come step by step.
The company is about to turn into Bezos, and other shareholders cannot control Bezos' opinions because of the voting rights. Can they be happy?
Even if the stocks were traded between shareholders before, several shareholders sold the stocks directly after the two-year lock-up period this year, and Amazon's stock price fell again.
Thinking of these, Bezos took a deep breath: "Mr. Zhang, first of all, I am very grateful for your willingness to listen to me. I can also tell you with certainty that you will never regret investing in Amazon. Then I will talk about it. My company plans for the future, I hope to make Mr. Zhang interested."
