Compared to the movements on IQ, the scenes that are sought after by the media and the outside world, Amazon seems to be much more "calm".

Amazon is also talking about listing with people from Silicon Valley venture capital and Wall Street institutions, but compared with IQ, it is far worse than that of IQ.

Looking at the news on TV, John Dore, a partner of KPCB venture capital, said to Bezos with a smile, "It seems that Director Bruno Song has no time to care about Amazon!"

Bezos could hear that John Doll was provoking his relationship with Song Yang. For this provocation, Bezos raised his chin and said to the people present, "Director Bruno is very supportive of Amazon. He handed over Amazon's voting rights and the right to handle matters to Amazon's management..."

When Song Yang entered the e-commerce industry before, he acquired eBay and invested in Amazon, giving Amazon a valuation of up to US$80 million, invested $28 million in Amazon, took away 35% of Amazon's equity, and became Amazon's second largest shareholder after Bezos!

However, compared to ebay, Song Yang directly asked the North American Global Investment Foundation to take over ebay's management, while on Amazon, Song Yang handed over 35% of Amazon's equity to Bezos for custody, and basically did not interfere in daily affairs, which was equivalent to Bezos in charge of Amazon.

"But Bruno Song has more support for eBay. In the future, eBay will definitely be one of Amazon's biggest rivals in the e-commerce industry. Where will Bruno Song stand at that time?"

The representative of Wall Street institutions who are preparing to underwrite Amazon stocks said to Bezos without leaving any trace.

The e-commerce industry has become popular now. As representatives of the two models of the e-commerce industry, ebay and Amazon have both become representative companies of the e-commerce industry. In addition, the valuations of flower e-commerce flowers, shoe e-commerce zappos, etc. have also made great progress, but they are all based on Amazon and ebay.

The institutions on Wall Street naturally began to bet on major e-commerce companies one after another, and the most popular ones were naturally Amazon and ebay, but these two companies had long been first introduced by Song Yang.

ebay has been completely taken over by Song Yang. Ebay presidents are all part of the double-click company president Whitman. Amazon has also taken away 35% of its shares by Song Yang. Bezos has focused on the shares very closely, which makes KPCB and Wall Street institutions feel that they have no idea where to start, so they naturally want to provoke the relationship between Bezos and Song Yang.

Listening to the words of John Doer and others, it is absolutely impossible to say that Bezos has no trouble in his heart. ebay and Amazon are both under Song Yang, but ebay is more like the son of the North American Global Investment Foundation than Amazon.

Even if it is treated equally, when investing in Amazon, Song Yang promised Bezos that the resources he invested in ebay would also be invested in Amazon.

Amazon has obtained double-click advertisements, icq, hotmail email, Xueleshan Online traffic, etc., but obviously, these companies are closer to ebay. After all, they are all eating in the same trough. Compared to Amazon, ebay's life is more comfortable, and Bezos knows this!

But if you want to say that John Doer and others are so a little overthinking that Bezos will change his relationship with Song Yang.

When Amazon was looking for someone to invest, other investment institutions, including KPCP venture capital, were only willing to give Amazon a valuation of US$40 to 50 million. Song Yang's side raised Amazon's valuation to US$80 million in one go, allowing Amazon and ebay to become the number one in the e-commerce industry.

After Song Yang invested in Amazon, KPCP Venture Capital and Wall Street institutions had to follow up. Now KPCB Venture Capital has also obtained 15% of Amazon's equity.

But KPCB and Wall Street institutions are not as good as Song Yang for Amazon. Song Yang is a sheep-up model for Amazon, and the stock voting rights are represented by Bezos, while KPCB venture capital and others have to make trouble with Amazon.

Even if Bezos's skills are not as superb as later generations, he knows that as long as Song Yang is a newcomer, KPCB venture capital and Wall Street, they will be afraid of it and dare not force Amazon's management to be too much. Once Song Yang leaves the Amazon board of directors, he will be the only one, facing the pressure from Silicon Valley and Wall Street!

"Amazon is willing to take out 12% of its equity and issue 6 million shares, with an issue price of $18, and raise $80 million!"

After turning off the TV, Bezos went straight to the point and told a group of people like KPCB Venture Capital that this time, Bezos will raise $80 million for Amazon.

Hearing this number, John Doer and others couldn't help but hop off. They didn't expect that Bezos would dare to shout such a price, directly raising Amazon's valuation to a level of 650 million US dollars!

Is this price high? In the Internet industry, which now has a price of 1 billion and a price of billions, it doesn't seem very eye-catching. After all, IQ has a valuation of icq, and it's almost over 30 billion US dollars. Internet companies such as Yahoo and Aol have also become the prototype of some giants.

But we need to compare it. Amazon’s previous valuation was only 40 million US dollars, but now it has increased by more than eight times. How long has it been?

If Amazon could go public at a valuation of $650 million, then Bezos's net worth would have exceeded $300 million, which is not bad compared to the scene when Netscape was listed that year!

"Is the risk of raising funds of $80 million is too great?"

A representative of Wall Street's agency frowned and said to Bezos that they estimated the market value of Amazon, which is more than 400 million US dollars, and this time it raised more than 50 million US dollars. In this way, Wall Street institutions can eat up all these financings, but who knew that Bezos actually raised the price to such a high.

"Amazon needs this financing. After going public, Amazon will begin to transform and no longer just a book business!"

Bezos looked at the direction of Goldman Sachs headquarters, and looked back at John Doll and others, "If you can't underwrite Amazon stocks, Amazon can seek the help of Director Bruno. I think he is willing to help Amazon complete its listing!"

When Bezos mentioned Song Yang, John Doll and others changed their expressions slightly. Bezos really wanted to ask Song Yang for help. With Song Yang's relationship and connections on Wall Street, it would not be difficult to get Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank and others to be responsible for Amazon's listing. At that time, there will be no KPCB companies.

“KPCB venture capital will help Amazon complete its listing!”

John Dole looked at Bezos and said, "There is more than one Bruno Song in the Internet industry!"

As an old artifact in the technology industry, KPCB seems to have a slow reaction in the Internet era. Except for Netscape, other Internet companies, including AOL, Yahoo, Lycos, KPCB venture capital has not invested heavily, but has instead invested a lot in energy, medicine, biology, etc.

Although industries such as energy and biology are also popular, they are not a good deal compared to the Internet industry, which often increases by dozens of times in stock prices and market value.

KPCB is betting on Amazon with a lot of money, and it also wants to regroup in the Internet industry. It does not want to be suppressed by Sequoia Investment, which is as famous as it in the venture capital industry. Sequoia Investment has bet on Yahoo, which has been in full swing in the past two years. The old man Moritz has beaten John Doll!

As a broker connected to Silicon Valley and Washington, John Doll has a close relationship with FCC boss Reed and others. Even in the Internet industry, KPCB venture capital is now somewhat influential, but John Doll is still one of the most influential figures in the technology industry. Bezos knows the weight of John Doll saying this.

Bezos nodded to John Doll and others. He brought out Song Yang to raise prices for Amazon. Now that the purpose has been achieved, he naturally does not want to stimulate John Doll and the others.

Although Bezos offered a ruthless price, Amazon only had tens of millions of dollars in its suffocation. The market value of the listing was less than one billion US dollars, which was not eye-catching in the Internet industry, but IQ was different. It was a big deal to make a fortune of 1.8 billion US dollars in the entire Nasdaq, but it was not as easy as Amazon.

"President Paulson, Manager Eddison, President Stan O'Neal..."

Song Yang, Erin and a group of IQ executives entered the conference room and after a greeting, Song Yang shouted to Paulson and others.

"Song!"

Paulson was a little polite when facing Erin, Wesley and others. When facing Song Yang, Paulson smiled, hugged Song Yang for a while, held Song Yang, and personally pulled the seat for Song Yang, looking very warm.

Seeing this scene, the people in the conference room were different in their minds. Eddieson sneered sarcastically, as if he didn't look down on Paulson's methods.

But in the eyes of Wall Street executives such as Stan O'Neal, Pelle Grini, Anshu Jain, such actions as Paulson's current identity are enough to show his importance to Song Yang!

When Song Yang faced Paulson's style, he had a smile on his face, but his heart was already raised. Paulson, a gluttonous person who did not show off his rabbit or eagle, suddenly showed his attentiveness for nothing. He dared not say 100% of the relationship, but it is very likely that it was weasels who wished the chicken New Year, and they had no good intentions, which forced Song Yang to be wary of it.

"Song, since the last time in San Jose, I have always wanted to invite you to New York. This time I finally have a chance!"

Paulson said to Song Yang with a smile. After talking a few words, Paulson suddenly changed his mind, "Song, you also invested in rick's company?!"

Song Yang looked at Paulson a few times, and his mind turned around. I wonder if Paulson was targeting Rick and Victoria's Secret, Eric and Chris Jain's Cormerica Bank, which was also in New York recently, is attracting suckers and investing in Rick's luxury empire plan. Rick wants to seize food from the tiger's mouth and snatch Gucci from the LVMH Group.

Paulson heard some rumors and seemed to have said it. After looking at Paulson a few times, Song Yang nodded with a smile, "I am just a shareholder of the Rick Group. Are Goldman Sachs interested in Rick's plan?"

When he heard Song Yang and Paulson, he suddenly started to rick and the luxury goods industry. Eddiechen and Stan O'Neal felt a little strange.

Eddiechen's hard-core confidant, Anshu Jain, saw the puzzled look on Eddiechen's face, leaned into his ear and whispered a few words. Eric recently attracted investments on Wall Street, and Deutsche Bank's investment bank naturally received rumors.

When he heard that Rick was about to win the Gucci brand with tiger mouth, Eddison's eyes lit up a little. He didn't care about Rick's acquisition of Gucci, but the stock prices of Gucci, LVMH Group and other companies. Because this competition will definitely have an impact, it is the opportunity for Deutsche Bank to take action!

Not only Eddiechen, but also Stan O'Neal heard about Rick from his subordinates, and the same was true for several other institutions, Morgan and others. Several major institutions looked different for a moment.

"Of course," Paulson looked righteous. "Amelica needs a "it" luxury empire, a market of $174 billion a year. Now this market is controlled by those Europeans. From Manhattan Street to Champs-Elysees, from North America to Europe, and from across the Pacific to Africa, those luxury goods are popular all over the world. Goldman Sachs supports Rick and becomes Amelic's own lvmh group

Those Europeans, who used so-called luxury goods to snatch too many American knives from America every year, are time to end it all!"

When he said this, Paulson took a special look at Eddiechen. The Deutsche Bank Investment Bank where Eddiechen is also an outsider and also came to Wall Street to grab money. This is also insinuating Deutsche Bank Investment Bank.

Eddie didn't care about this at all. Since he joined Deutsche Bank, he has never heard any bad words. Paulson's sarcastic words are nothing at all.

"Deutsche Bank Investment Bank is willing to invest in Rick. Deutsche Bank has its own channels in Europe and can provide support for Rick's plans!"

Eddie said with confidence that Deutsche Bank is a bad guy in America. Like Volkswagen and Japanese benzene, they were fined every few days, but in Europe, Deutsche Bank is the undisputed absolute overlord. Deutsche Bank is present in all walks of life in old Europe.

If Deutsche Bank is willing to provide ammunition and connections to Rick, then LVMH Group will not be able to stop Rick from snatching Gucci!

“Morgan is willing to support rick too!”

“Merry Lynch is willing to provide Rick with a long-term loan of $500 million!”

Stan O'Neal also took the opportunity to say that Song Yang has never missed since his debut. Rick has the brand of Victoria's Secret, a daily gold medal. With the support of Goldman Sachs, Morgan, Deutsche Bank and other companies, he feels that Rick has a good chance to win this order.

Song Yang did not expect that the IQ matter had not yet begun, but he had raised a lot of ammunition for Rick.
Chapter completed!
