After several days of hard work, Zhuke's work itinerary in Seattle was finally completed.

On this day, Zucker accepted the invitation from Amazon Mall Chairman Bei Guangtou and went to his home.

"Zuke, you see it. Since LinkedIn announced the launch of a round of financing, to the entry of Amazon, Microsoft, Heiderszhe, and Languan Capital, and today after the dust settled, LinkedIn's topic has always been the focus of media attention." Bezos smiled on the sofa in the living room.

Zhuke toasted him with a glass of wine and smiled, "What do you want to say? Haha, you are proud!"

"That's certain."

After drinking the whiskey in the cup, Bezos said, "I know you very much~"

"Oh, what do you mean?" Zhuke savored.

Bezos looked upright and said solemnly: "Two days ago, the key points of future development mentioned in your speech at the shareholders' meeting, whether it is to open up online news or rely on the advantages of LinkedIn platform job introductions, vigorously develop online education and offline education, which can bring a lot of profits."

profit!

These two words are always a topic that a company cannot avoid!

An Internet company that cannot make a profit, or it takes a long time to make a profit, will definitely be eliminated by the market even if it has a large number of users. After all,... there will never be a shortage of competitors of the same type in the market.

Bezos stared at Zucker with a bright look and continued: "Although you did not clearly mention LinkedIn's future profit direction at this shareholders' meeting, don't forget that I have known you for many years."

"The money you invested in LinkedIn has exceeded 100 million US dollars, which is definitely the biggest investment you have founded among many companies."

"Remember, it's the founding company, not the investment in other companies."

"In addition, you have specially built a huge industrial park for LinkedIn. According to your personality of not seeing a rabbit or not, I am very sure that you have certain ideas about LinkedIn being able to quickly make profits."

"No!"

"Maybe...I underestimate you!"

"Do you already have a specific plan to make LinkedIn profitable?!"

Bezos stared at Zucker tightly, trying to find clues in his face.

But, he failed!

He did not find any information on Zhuke Gujing Wubo's face.

However, no information is found, the biggest information!

Zhuke waved his hand and smiled, "Man, you're thinking too much. If I had a way to make LinkedIn profitable, why would LinkedIn always be in a state of burning money?"

"Yeah?"

Bezos laughed, and he didn't believe a word!

In fact, he guessed it right!

Don’t forget that Zhuke is a time traveler! From the moment he founded LinkedIn company, Zhuke has already made detailed plans for the development of LinkedIn company, including various ways and means for future profitability, but Zhuke has not allowed LinkedIn to reach this point.

Why?

Although LinkedIn is now the leader in online recruitment and online job market, and has the largest market share, there are many competitors of the same type that are desperately catching up!

In the North American market alone, the number of companies that are large and small online job-seeking is no less than 100!

"As long as you can truly become the overlord of this industry and have a market share of more than 80%, will it still be easy to make money at that time?"

"In a word, as long as you defeat and defeat the opponents of the entire industry, then you have the final say in this market!"

What Zhuke's LinkedIn company has to do at this moment is to sweep the entire online job hunting industry and kick out all potential and competitive opponents!

"hehe!"

Bezos smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I understand that you just want to have more say in the future B and C rounds of financing!"

Zhuke retorted: "But, aren't the Amazon shareholders just cheated by you in this way?"

The eldest doesn't talk about the second.

Bezos is also an absolute and very cunning fox in business!

Think about it, is it easy for a man who has failed to defeat Bill Gates in his personal wealth and has been ranked as the richest man in the world for several consecutive years?

It is true that Zhuke and Bezos are friends, or they are very good friends, but... in a business environment, even your best friends may be your biggest competitor!

Next, the two of them intentionally or unintentionally jumped away from LinkedIn and turned to Amazon.

Amazon ~

For Amazon, Zucker and Bezos are doing the same thing now, which is to acquire Amazon's shares from shareholders, primary and secondary markets as much as possible.

Up to now:

Bezos' shareholding in Amazon has reached 23.9%.

This share is definitely not low. You should know that before the outbreak of the Internet bubble, Bezos's shares in Amazon were only 21.9%.

The proportion of shares in a full 2% increased!

That is, Amazon is now deeply affected by the Internet environment and has lost its market value greatly. Otherwise, it would be a big business of at least a few billion US dollars.

In the future, these 2% shares will be hundreds of billions of dollars in accordance with Amazon's market value of tens of billions of dollars!

"Zuke, you have a lot of shares, it seems to have reached 12.1%, right? Good guy, you have 4.1% more than before you sold Amazon stocks. You are more ruthless than me!" Bezos curled his lips.

Zhuke smiled.

The eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother~

As allies, Zucker and Bezos obviously occupy the most delicious part of the Amazon cake.

The two of them made a lot of money, so there is no doubt that they will not accept the refutation!

Don't ask, just don't know!

...........

That night.

It was also the last night that Zucker stayed in Seattle during this trip.

Adidas' senior vice president Felix Luca was very excited.

"He is finally willing to see me again!"

The proposal to acquire or acquire Under Armour has almost become a obsession for Luca.

Since 1999, Luca has noticed Under Armour, and has been paying attention to it for almost a year. Then he has proposed to acquire Under Armour on the company's board of directors many times.

Since then, he has continuously collected information about Under Armour, his parent company, Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, and Zhu Ke himself.

During this period, he put in a lot of effort!

At this moment, he and Zucker sat opposite a restaurant in downtown Seattle.

"Mr. Wald, please believe in our sincerity in Adidas. As long as you can accept our investment in Under Armour, then as an intermediary and as a link between the two companies, I promise you that I will convince the board of directors to give Under Armour great support from all aspects such as product technology, product sales channels, sports spokesperson information, etc."

Luca's tone is very sincere.

To be honest, Zucker can also clearly and clearly feel Adidas' sincerity.

but!

Zhuke shook his head and said, "Luca, you are right. I am also very moved, but I still choose to reject you."

"This, this, why is this?" Luca went crazy.

When it comes to investing in Under Armour, Luca asked himself that the sincerity he gave was definitely what countless sports goods companies dream of and it is hard to refuse.

However, he didn't know that Zhuke was a time traveler!

Zucker suddenly said: "Luca, you know, I have a Manchester City team in the Premier League, and I am planning to acquire an NBA team now. In the future, I will acquire another American League rugby team to establish a professional sports operation company."

"this......"

Luca was shocked!

Zhuke: "This future large sports operation company still lacks a CEO now. I wonder if you are willing to take on this CEO position!"

Luca: "......"

The first update of "" is given.
Chapter completed!
