When Peter and Jeff saw Isabel coming, they politely came to say hello. But Isabel said, "Bezos, I thought your company was almost over. I'm really sorry for you. Its market value was more than 20 billion three years ago. How much is it worth now? Your company stock should not be able to sell? "
Starving people fill the land. In the beginning of two thousand, the technology bubble, Nasdaq composite index, fell from five thousand to one thousand and three hundred, and the stock market evaporated five trillion US dollars in one year, which is equivalent to GDP of half a year. All Internet companies are overlooking the business. They are too close to business and the rest of the day is not good. The value of the billion dollar business is only about one billion, and the Internet companies are in the cold winter.
Bezos's Amazon is one of the few profitable Internet companies, but when the overall market plummeted, it was also the general trend that they followed the sharp decline, but they did not vomit blood and jump from buildings like other companies. Now the cold winter is fading, investors have gradually restored their confidence in the Internet market, and Bezos began to try to persuade banks to finance it, Even though his cultivation is very good, he is also angry with the mean woman. He seeks financing from their bank, but he is not begging.
Mark had an idea. It was a great opportunity to get into the sight of big people and get a free ride. He said, "Amazon closed down? How is this possible? It is a company that can make profits under the technology bubble crisis. Amazon is changing people's lifestyle. It is especially profound for people who have traveled to ten bookstores and can not buy a book they want. It is a convenient way to buy books that people can not refuse. It represent the general trend of the future. If I have money, I will buy shares of Amazon and Google.
Bezos smiled, raised his glass to mark and greeted him with a smile.
Isabel said dismissively, "should we listen to the advice of a 20-year-old who is still in junior high school?"? Do you understand economics? " She was obviously prepared to do some research.
Sophia said, "why not? Now I can be sure that no one understands the economy and the technology bubble has happened. No one expected that the so-called economists are just a group of people who are talking about themselves. Whether the investment can make profits or not depends more on God's will. Mark, tell me why you like Amazon and Gu Ge?
When Mark saw Peter, Bezos, Sophia, Isabel and David looking at him, he was interested and dismissive. He said, "it's very simple, because it makes people's life easier. You can't find a book you want when you visit ten bookstores, and it's sent to your home gently on Amazon's official website, When you look for information in the book mountain and sea of books in the library, I can get it at a click on Google, which saves a lot of time and changes people's way of life. "
Sophia applauded, "mark, it's very reasonable. Who will change a simpler and more effective way of life? Jeff, it's party time today. I really don't want to talk about business here, but mark took the initiative to mention it. He can't blame me. Your financing application has passed. "
When Bezos looked happy, Isabel said incredulously, "it's too much fun for you to decide to invest hundreds of millions of dollars and listen to the opinions of a junior middle school student?"
Sophia said, "children's play, Issa, why do you think so? I'm just doing market research and listening to customers' ideas. This is just one of the many references before making a decision. My team is also optimistic about Amazon. They suggest me to invest, but I didn't make a decision to sign. "
Isabel knew Sophia was giving her a good look and said with a smile, "you still can't change your emotional habit and hurt money for your feelings."
Of course, David can hear the irony of the other party. He is still satirizing Sophia's failed former marriage. In order to compete for the custody of her son, she paid millions of alimony to her ex husband. This has been satirized by her sisters.
David took Sophia by the waist and said, "Sophie is a sensitive person. I love her." He said to Isabel, "I often think about proposing to Sophia again. If one marriage can hold two weddings, I can't wait to do so."
Sophia kissed David to show her joy.
Isabel's seemingly harmonious marriage with her rich husband is no secret between sisters. She can't see the love and intimacy between others, but David's personality and the sweet sisters between their husband and wife can also be seen. She smiled and changed the topic, saying: "who will read the novel written by a junior middle school student? Sophia, if you have such a big celebration party and you can't sell it, what will those mean journalists write? I really admire your courage. "
"Why can't it be sold?" Peter talked with great assurance with red wine. "The seven ace editors of Random House unanimously recommended good books. My marketing director has asked for an additional order of 300000 copies. The application secretary is placed at my desk. Just considering that the new books have not been listed, we are still considering them."
Bezos said: "what to consider? The book editors of Amazon's marketing department unanimously recommended that twilight is a very excellent work. Our warehouse must have enough inventory. We Amazon took 300000 orders."
Peter and Bezos are good friends. Their frequent business contacts make them even closer. Of course, he won't sit back and watch good friends humiliated.
Sophia said happily, "our next party will be in the banquet hall of the Hilton Hotel to celebrate that twilight has sold more than one million copies?"
Peter said, "of course!" It's not difficult for the two platforms to push the sales volume to exceed one million, but he saw that mark was calm when he heard the great good news. His grace was amazing and worthy of being a child of a family.
In fact, mark knew that the Twilight series had sold more than 50 million copies, which was a super selling series. How could he pay attention to the mere million sales?
Isabel was so angry that such people joined hands to lose face. She said, "what can I do if someone wants to fight with money? Today's party was so deserted that no stars came. I made an appointment with a manicurist. I'll talk next time! "
Sophia and her family politely took her to the door. They happened to meet the lively family. They were wearing formal clothes and carrying two baskets. When they saw black in full dress, mark had a bright surprise. Her elegant and smooth blond hair was dressed freely and casually. In a long black dress, she was slim and tall, graceful, and her skin was as white as milk, After taking off the braces, her smile was more sunny and sweet, and the breath of youth came to her face.
Sophia smiled, "Welcome!"
Claire smiled and said, "Mrs. Wang, it's a great honor to invite you. This is a small gift." She put on a basket of doughnuts and carried the other basket.
Mark quickly thanked them and introduced them to both sides. Sophia said, "Mrs. lively, you're very kind. WOW! Whose model is this, dear, you are like an angel! " She took Black's hand and walked in.
Mark put two baskets of doughnuts on the table. As soon as he turned around, he saw black standing next to him. She said, "the party is very lively."
Mark gave her a glass of champagne and said, "take off your braces. You're as beautiful as an angel."
Black turned slightly and said, "really? This shows that I have not suffered in vain these months. "
Mark said, "yes, the Frank eyes of Jennifer Aniston, the bright smile of Cameron Diaz, Jessica Simpson's long wavy hair and invincible youth at the age of 16."
Blake blushed and said, "how can you tie me with these stars?"
Mark said, "I'll show you around here." They naturally came to the long table in the middle of the hall hand in hand. Black picked up a book, stroked the beautiful cover and said with envy, "mark, you succeeded!"
Mark signed the front page of the book and wrote to black, "may you have a sunny and sweet smile every day." He put his hands on black and said, "this is the fifth signature, behind Donald."
Blake said with a smile, "it's a great honor. I can't believe you really did it."
Mark B said, "with ideals and enthusiasm in mind, there is nothing you can't do." This is the only way to get a younger sister. With a tall and strong figure and a gentle and Green fan, it's a big killer for a younger sister.
Black couldn't hide his appreciation for mark in his ice blue eyes and said happily, "don't I have to do your homework in the future?"
Mark coughed and said, "we have an agreement. The spirit of contract is the cornerstone of our society. There are more than ten days when I owe you."
"What about the final exam?" Blake said? I'm dead if I'm caught cheating? "
Mark said, "I have a plan. Bob made a wise choice between his fist and $200. He promised me to take B -."
Blake said, "what will happen in the future? You've been cheating? "
Mark said: "in fact, I am very tired of classroom life. I want to live a more challenging and pragmatic life. For example, twilight is selling well. I can consider writing a sequel. Some ideas and inspiration have been generated. I can earn enough living expenses with it."
"It sounds envious," Blake said
"Excuse me." the tall Bezos appeared in front of mark. He smiled and said, "it's very rude to interrupt the chat between lovers, but I have to go. Here's my business card. I'll have coffee when I'm free!"
Mark took it with respectful hands and said, "it's a great honor!" Bezos did not hide his appreciation for mark, hugged mark, then slapped him on the shoulder and said, "enjoy your own party!"
After Bezos left, black asked curiously, "who is this man?"
Mark said: "a very good B person, founder and President of Amazon."
