Chapter 114 The new normal of mutual penetration

"That's it," Feng Yiping continued, silent for a while, and said to Bezos, "Will this be the norm when we meet?"

Bezos also fell silent. He looked at the employees who were rushing around below, "Maybe, it's really impossible to avoid it."

At the beginning, the relationship between him and Feng Yiping was very harmonious.

Feng Yiping likes many of Amazon's ideas, especially praises their insistence on strong investment in scientific research.

Bezos also admires this young man from a foreign country.

I admire his vision, his knowledge, and his keenness.

Whether it is the Blue Ocean Strategy that sublimates some examples to theory, or big data and cloud computing, it systematically gives some hot topics in the future, and points out their application directions in various industries... not many people can do this.

In particular, he is not just a short theorist, he is also a successful entrepreneur.

He is a young entrepreneur who can easily get the best conditions from himself through cooperation.

Amazon also has many vibrant and talented young people. Bezos has also come into contact with too many excellent young people on the road to starting a business over the years, but at the age of Feng Yiping, there is no one who can be compared with him.

When he communicated with some people, he would occasionally talk about Feng Yiping. Although no one said it clearly, he could feel that many people had the same feelings as him, "I really hope that when I was young, I looked like him."

If a woman is likely to have no envy of such a woman, only jealousy and hatred, but men are different.

Although everyone mainly considers their own interests in business cooperation, they all appreciate Feng Yiping in private.

This appreciation does not mean that their ability or strength is above Feng Yiping, but a group of guys who are at least 25 years older than Feng Yiping, appreciate young people.

Or it can be said that it is mutual appreciation.

For those who are older and more successful, it is not easy to meet someone like this.

Although they would not resort to words, they cherished their young friends like Feng Yiping, which also refers to his youth.

However, now, the relationship between them is already somewhat subtle.

Feng Yiping also knew that the relationship between them was inevitably somewhat subtle now.

Although the first time I had an interview with Amazon was not very pleasant, after meeting Bezos, they had a very speculative chat, and the related cooperation was smooth and in-depth.

But now, after all, I am the largest shareholder of China's largest e-commerce company, and Bezos' Amazon is currently the most popular e-commerce company in the United States.

Judging from Feng Yiping's layout, he obviously will not give up on the US market, and from Bezos's actions, he is not without ambitions for the Chinese market.

Moreover, this ambition is now being curbed by Feng Yiping's company.

Whitman's ebay's expansion in China can be said to be a failure, and finally he just packed up and sold it. The situation of Rebs' Excellence Network, which Bezos acquired, was not much better.

He and Bezos are now a real competitor relationship.

Hearing news that is unfavorable to oneself from competitors, which is the bad news that Bezos calls, can be said to be the norm in the market.

"But, work is work," Bezos said.

"Haha, yes," Feng Yiping, who rarely drinks in the office, got up and poured a glass of wine, "Work is work,"

"Do it," "Do it," the two of them touched for a moment.

"Then I will just tell you bad news," Bezos said. "As a shareholder of imdb, you will know the news sooner or later, but I still want to tell you when I come to Silicon Valley this time,"

“A lot of people’s opinion is that we should be on INDB, and provide visitors with free online viewing of movies and TV series,” he said.

"No download is required, watch online?" Feng Yiping asked.

"Yes, watch online, if you can't watch a certain movie on IMDB, you can watch it on Amazon," Bezos said.

"What about the scale?" Feng Yiping continued to ask.

“Movies and TV series, at least 10,000,” Bezos said. “We will also allow other independent film producers who work with us to provide video content on INDB, and we will have a selection to play some of them.”

"Haha, this is indeed your style," Feng Yiping smiled.

In fact, in terms of online DVD sales, Amazon is originally a strong competitor of Netflix. Now, both sides can be said to start head-on competition in the streaming field.

And, Amazon is free.

"Does these free contents be relatively old?" Feng Yiping asked.

"Haha, yes," Bezos laughed twice, "mainly classic old movies,"

Feng Yiping knew that if you spend money to buy the copyright and put it online for users to watch for free, neither Bezos nor Amazon would do such things.

"There is another point that after this project was launched, it will only target our users in the United States for a long time,"

"Even if I have not entered the e-commerce field, you have not acquired imdb. When our company develops to a certain level, we will inevitably have competition. It is not in this field, but in another field, so," Feng Yiping said, "this is not bad news,"

"At least, I'm prepared for such news,"

"You may not answer me, but I know, will Amazon have a layout in terms of homemade content next?" he asked at Bezos.

Bezos neither went back to this question head-on, just said, "I agree very much with what you said just now."

In other words, there is inevitably competition, so that is certain.

At this time, Hollywood and major TV stations cannot predict that Netflix will be their biggest competitor in the future. Hastings and others will not predict that e-commerce like Amazon will become their biggest competitor in the future.

But Feng Yiping knew it early.

"Fortunately, this market is big enough. We especially welcome companies like Amazon that have ambitions and pursuits to enter the streaming field and work with us to change the existing film and television landscape."

"I'm so glad to hear you say this," Bezos took another sip of wine.

"But Bezos, you have to be prepared. Neither Netflix nor youtube are an easy competitor," said Feng Yiping.

"I know, I know, how can they be easily dealt with with you? Again, we should not be underestimated, right?" Bezos said.

"Haha," "Haha," both of them laughed.

"Okay, that's good news," Bezos sat upright. "We plan to add an option to give gifts to friends and family on the website. We hope to work with Facebook in this regard."

"That is, Facebook users can see friends' shopping lists on Amazon's website, or their wish lists, and receive email reminders when their friends' birthdays or related anniversary are approaching, so that they can buy gifts they like in time?" Feng Yiping said immediately.

Bezos looked at Feng Yiping blankly, "That's right, of course, the wish list of friends may also be recommended by us based on his historical data."

"Feng, why are you so clear about this question? Have you ever thought of a similar question?"

"Please, is this a difficult question to understand?" Feng Yiping said, "But, why do I think this is not good news either. This is a sign that you are interested in getting involved in the social field?"

"Why, is it that after the famous Mr. Feng, who has a successful product like Facebook, is still worried that we will compete with you in the social field?"

"I just think, why are so many people coveting the areas we are involved in?" Feng Yiping said.

"That's because you have a very good vision and the areas you are involved in are the areas with the most promising development in the future," Bezos said. "Didn't you get involved in other fields? It seems that the group buying you launched on nextdoor is not involved in e-commerce," he said.

"Also, after hearing what you said, I think the cooperation we proposed also provides Facebook with an opportunity to enter e-commerce, right?"

"Haha," Feng Yiping stood up, "The future problem, let's talk about it again. Your proposal is very good. As long as the price is right, Facebook will naturally do it. Now, let me take you around the park,"

"Tonight, you pushed all the other arrangements and I'll invite you to dinner in Mantingfang," he said without doubt. "I still have many questions. It's rare for you to come here. I still have many questions. I want to discuss with you."
