Bezos is bald, has long and narrow face, big mouth and slender eyes, so he has the nickname of a Martian. He looks funny, but he is a rigorous and meticulous person.

After graduating from high school, Bezos entered Princeton University, where Einstein taught in his later years. His interest turned to computers. In 1986, Bezos received a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and computer science from Princeton University, graduated with honors, and became a member of the association of outstanding students of American universities.

Bezos graduated from Princeton University and soon entered a new high-tech company in New York. Two years later, Bezos moved to a New York banker trust company to manage a computer system worth $250 billion. At the age of 25, he became the youngest vice president in the history of the bank trust company.

From 1990 to 1995, Bezos and others established the world's most advanced and successful hedge fund trading management company, and became the youngest senior vice president of the company in 1992.

In 1994, when he was surfing the Internet, Bezos accidentally entered a website and saw a number: 2300%. The number of Internet users was growing at this rate every year. At that time, Microsoft in Seattle had gradually grown up. When Bezos saw this number, his eyes lit up and wanted to be like Microsoft. Succeed in the IT industry and be a trendsetter on the Internet.

In 1995, Bezos moved from New York to Seattle. He chose Seattle because there were ready-made technical talents and it was very close to the Oregon warehouse of Ingram book department, a large channel distributor. Bezos used US $300000 to start up and founded Amazon, the first online retail company in the United States, in the garage rented in the suburbs of Seattle, Bezos named his company after the world's largest river in the hope that it would become a veritable "Amazon" among book companies.

The New Amazon company achieved great success and quickly became a large enterprise with a market value of 10 billion. Bezos also became a legend of entrepreneurship.

He is a freak who treats failure as a treasure. Everyone's attitude towards failure determines the height of his success. Bezos is a freak who treats failure as a treasure. He believes that failure is an essential component of invention and creation. If you already know that this branch works during the experiment, it is not a real experiment. Therefore, if you want to invent and think of creation, failure is indispensable and inevitable. There is no magic recipe for success. The key is to get ahead of others. Only those who really see through failure can be close to success.

For Martians who only take a new path, in Jeff Bezos's view, copying other people's success model is the most undesirable. It is a waste of life and it is difficult to achieve great achievements in the end. He often warns others: your time is very limited, so don't waste them repeating other people's lives and don't be bound by dogma, That means you live with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other people's opinions obscure your true inner voice. Most importantly, you should have the courage to follow your intuition and heart - they know what you want to be in some way, and all other things are secondary.

Mark also appreciated his career experience and even joked that he was willing to direct and make a legendary film himself.

Their friendship was in the time when Mark wrote the first book twilight, when Mark persuaded Sophia to let the bank borrow a lot of money to Amason to make it slow in the Internet technology bubble. Although they had a difference of more than 20 years, they were friends who appreciated each other, and they often met together.

Seeing Bezos's sad face, Mark said, "Jeff! Be happy! Your property has quadrupled. Money is the most practical. You should buy a private plane."

"The price is that Amazon changed its boss," Bezos said

Mark had to pretend to be a fool and said, "what's the matter? Your property has risen four times, and Davis fund has offered a high price of four times the market value. Who can refuse? I still want to sell all my hands, but it's a pity that he only wants 5%. If you are willing to offer this price, mine can also be sold to you."

In fact, mark didn't want to sell, but Martin opened his mouth. Mark didn't dare to refuse. Martin made a bold move on the fat meat of Amazon.

Not only mark, but also many banks, funds and consortia holding equity in Amazon quickly sold out. Bezos pledged part of his equity to the bank and failed to repay the money within the time limit. Now, on the eve of the financial tsunami, there is a shortage of money in the market. Amazon expands too fast and the capital chain is tight, which gives Davis fund an opportunity. Bezos is very depressed about this, Even if his nominal property has quadrupled, he suspects that mark colluded with Martin to engage in Amazon. Who knows that they are wearing a pair of pants.

But now I heard that mark also sold it and was willing to sell it to him. He wavered and doubted that he couldn't pay four times the price. He said, "if mm was bought, you wouldn't say that."

Mark said, "the key is whether there is a quadruple quotation. If so, I will sell it first." mm is not worth 100 billion. Now no one will buy 100 billion. Time Warner is not worth it.

In fact, MM's development potential is far greater than that of Time Warner because of its shares in Naifei, Pingguo, marvel, Pixar, etc., but it has not been realized yet.

Bezos had to laugh at himself and said, "maybe I should buy a private plane."

Mark said, "maybe you should laugh less." Bezos has a big laugh. It has always been described as earth shaking and worried about the collapse of the house. Compared with gates, another big man in Seattle, Bezos is easygoing. His childlike innocent laughter instantly shortens the distance between you and him, making you sigh: This is a rational and emotional man!

Bezos said: "it's true. You know I hate working overtime. I won't work overtime unless I can't catch up with myself. I'd rather stay at home and have a happy weekend. After I retire from the president of Amazon, I will have more time."

Mark said, "you quit?" this guy still owns about 15% of the shares, and his net worth has reached billions. It has only been 12 years since he started his business in 1995, and his net worth has reached billions. Many rich people are just like this. This achievement is quite dazzling, but it is slightly inferior to mark.

Bezos said: "Davis has absolute control and will certainly restructure the board of directors and management. It's better to resign than to be driven away."

Mark said: "Martin is a good player, but when it comes to the management company, Migao and Colombia are clear evidence. We'd better sit down and talk. Personally, I think the best way to prevent everyone's investment depreciation is for you to be re elected and the shareholders do not interfere in the specific operation." seeing Bezos's silence, Mark said: "You can see that the number of shareholders has changed from dozens to one. Now you are not the largest shareholder in name, but it is an indisputable fact that the cake has become bigger and everyone's pockets have risen. If you are interested in my proposal, we can fly to New York and sit down and talk."

In fact, that's what Bezos meant when he came to see mark. Since mark took the initiative, it's best, but it also proves Mark's innocence. Mark's talk about money is a mother is far more persuasive than talking about friendship. Amazon made Bezos famous, and he will never give up. Therefore, Mark's proposal is just what he wants.

Mark spoke his heart. No one can run Amazon well except Bezos. However, Bezos dare not say such arrogant words. Mark said it openly, which made him very frustrated and happy. He didn't look like a child robbed of his favorite toy when he first came.

Bezos suggested: "we can invite Davis to visit Amazon's headquarters, by the way."

Mark said, "now Martin doesn't leave New York easily. Either we visit or teleconference."

Bezos said, "let's visit? But you're making a movie. Can you go?"

Mark said, "Martin is also a major shareholder of Time Warner, and I work for him now." he called Wally and Blomkamp to take charge of the set, and he flew to New York.

Mark Shen also wants to see Martin. Recently, Martin's foundation has launched a series of large-scale mergers and acquisitions, which is fast and ruthless. It is not like the low-key style in the past. It is even rumored that he owns part of the equity of Raytheon company. He is invested by Wall Street in the weapon manufacturing industry and has also acquired Blackwater company. An insatiable capitalist colludes with an ambitious company Politicians, will this combination upset many people?

Blackwater, in particular, has an extremely complex background and can win large businesses from the Ministry of defense. Will it be a simple role?

However, when Mark and Martin could get in touch, the other party clearly refused his visit because he was now in South Africa. Martin agreed to mark's proposal to let Bezos and his management team stay, saying, "of course, otherwise, why leave him 15% of the shares?"

Mark, as one of the shareholders, has the right to make such a proposal, but Martin agreed too quickly and rashly, which makes Bezos, who is sorting out the documents, can't believe it. He is sorting out the documents and hopes to convince Martin through beautiful figures and sincere attitude. Unexpectedly, the other party agreed to the proposal without even seeing him. He said, "that's it?"

Mark said, "that's it. The power of attorney will be brought by his assistant."

Bezos said: "he spent 15 billion to take the absolute control of Amazon, not 1.5 million."

"Maybe it's not much different for him," Mark said

Bezos said with a smile, "it sounds like a really good thing."

Mark said, "so you should take out your sign of laughter. The house here is strong enough."

Bezos pointed to the TV and said, "your trouble is not small, I'm sorry to laugh." the TV just showed a large number of people protesting at the gate of Columbia film and MGM film.
