My Age of Investment

  Chapter 76 Five Million New Users

  Time enters March.

  Principal John called Xia Jingxing and told him good news.

  Stanford graduate and Amazon vice president Jeff Blackburn agreed to meet Xia Jingxing.

  Old man John was a little worried, and said on the phone: "Blackburn used to work for Morgan Stanley for several years. He is proficient in various business negotiations. You have to be careful."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said: "Please rest assured, I will definitely negotiate a plan that is satisfactory to all parties."

  Old John's lips moved, and he didn't say much.

  In his eyes, Xia Jingxing is undoubtedly very good, but the disadvantage is his age and lack of various business experience.

  He decided not to go out for the time being to see if Xia Jingxing could bring him any surprises.

  He is a principal and a billionaire at the same time, so it’s not appropriate to end too early.

   Really talked about it, it was most appropriate for him to come out to clean up the situation.

  …………

  …………

  Downstairs in Building F of the incubation base, Xia Jingxing met this Amazon high-level man who flew over from Seattle.

  Jeff Blackburn is a white man in his thirties, wearing a haute couture suit, a brand-name watch, and an elite outfit.

  In contrast, Xia Jingxing's dressing is much more casual, with hoodies, jeans, and sneakers unremarkable.

  Jeff Blackburn just walked out of the back seat of a luxurious Mercedes-Benz sedan when he saw an Asian boy greeted him with a smile.

  "Mr. Blackburn, nice to meet you, I’m Darren, the CEO of Facebook."

   "Hehe, Darren, you are younger and handsomer than I thought."

  Jeff Blackburn was all smiles, and he was indifferent at all. He praised Xia Jingxing as if he had seen an old friend.

  The whole process is smooth and smooth, without making people feel any discomfort or awkwardness.

  Xia Jingxing nodded secretly, Old Man John was right, this matter was all alone.

   Jeff Blackburn greeted the driver to park the car, and then followed Xia Jingxing upstairs.

  After entering the rudimentary office, he just glanced at the surrounding environment for a while, then retracted his gaze, very calm.

Xia Jingxing watched the other party calmly, greeted Jeff Blackburn to sit down on the sofa in the corner, and asked Christina to deliver two bottles of mineral water, and smiled: "The environment is simple, there is no coffee machine, only This is it."

   Jeff Blackburn shook his head and laughed, with an indifferent look: "What is there, I like this environment very much, there is a kind of upward vitality."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and nodded.

  After a few more greetings, Jeff Blackburn said with a smile: "Daren, I read the plan sent to me by Mr. Hennessy. It's pretty good."

"hehe, thanks for your complement."

  Xia Jingxing behaved very calmly, not shocked.

  From the first sight of Jeff Blackburn, he knew it was an old fox.

  It is estimated that it will take a little effort to reach a smooth cooperation.

  Don’t take it lightly!

  Before he came, Jeff Blackburn also conducted a preliminary investigation on Facebook and knew everything about the situation.

  The only thing that surprised him was that the founder did not look like a young man under the age of twenty.

   tried a few words, the other party did not sell himself impatiently like a young man, and explained all the details.

  This made him interested, and asked with a smile: "How many registered users do you think Facebook can bring to Amazon?"

"five million!"

  Xia Jingxing directly blurted out and debuted.

   Jeff Blackburn laughed directly, “If I understand correctly, Facebook hasn’t had a million users until now, right?”

   "To be precise, less than 500,000 users will be there."

  Xia Jingxing leaned on the sofa, spread her hands, and said with a relaxed expression.

  "Then tell me, why do you bring five million new users to Amazon?"

   Jeff Blackburn narrowed his smile, leaned down, and stared at Xia Jingxing with a serious face: "Young man, my time is precious."

  If you are replaced by ordinary young people, you may feel flustered when encountering this kind of change.

  Xia Jingxing appeared very calm, with an undiminished smile on his face.

  The opponent wants to overwhelm him from the momentum, but how can he make the opponent do what he wants.

   "Mr. Blackburn, let's put this issue aside for now, let me talk about my views on Amazon."

  Jeff Blackburn saw the "bluff" and couldn't help him, he was a little surprised, and put his posture away, smiled and raised his hand, motioning Xia Jingxing to continue speaking.

  "Amazon currently has 40 million users with transaction records scattered all over the world.

  How much is the United States? Less than 20 million, right?

  What percentage of the population of the United States is this? Less than 7% of the population of 288 million.

  The penetration rate is too low and too low!

  And because Amazon started with books, this made Amazon and also restricted Amazon. "

  Jeff Blackburn frowned upon hearing this, but did not refute Xia Jingxing, motioning for the latter to continue speaking.

  Xia Jingxing nodded, and then imitated the tone of two passersby.

   "Hi girl, have you heard of Amazon? There are many beautiful dresses on it."

  "What? Isn't Amazon selling books and audiovisual products?"

  Speaking of this, Xia Jingxing didn't go on role-playing anymore. He believed that Blackburn had already understood what he meant.

  "You mean, people's impression of Amazon is still in the past?"

  After finishing, Blackburn shook his head sharply, “I don’t agree with this. We opened the apparel category last year and attracted more than 500 major brands.

  Expanding categories is something we have been doing. "

  Xia Jingxing chuckled, “You can go to the campus to do research to see if Amazon sells books or clothes in your impression.”

  Speaking of this, Blackburn did not refute anymore. He looked at Xia Jingxing and asked: "Then what does this have to do with you? What can you do for Amazon?"

  Xia Jingxing said lightly, “We put a link to our Amazon store on the homepage of Facebook to sell Facebook products, such as clothes, hats, stationery, umbrellas, etc.

  One hundred thousand, one million, ten million college students visit Amazon through Facebook and buy their favorite products.

  After buying, they found that they were still missing a pair of shoes.

  They thought that even clothes and shoes should be sold on Amazon, so they looked for them on Amazon again.

  I really didn't let them down, and I can really buy shoes.

  A few days later, they found that the electrical appliances at home were broken, and decided to go to Amazon to try their luck..."

  After listening, Blackburn smiled, “It’s a very good story. This is actually what we have been doing at Amazon, perfecting product categories, focusing on customers, and being the largest online retailer.”

  Xia Jingxing counted with her fingers, “Amazon only had books in 1995; audio and video products were added in 1998; toys, electronic products, and software were added in 1999; home gardening was added in 2000;

   Last year, clothing jewelry was added, but this year seems to be adding sports outdoor products and jewelry, right? "

   Blackburn smiled, "You know us very well, what do you want to explain?"

   "Explain two questions."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, “First, the company has grown a little bit;

  Second, Amazon is expanding its influence a little bit to attract more people and buy more categories of goods. "

  Blackburn took a closer look and nodded, "Well, now let’s talk about "five million new users"."
