My Age of Investment

  Chapter 97 Adults only talk about the pros and cons

  Old man John has a calm look, making it hard to see the truth or falsehood of his words.

  Blackburn was also suspicious, looked at the old man several times, but could not see anything.

  Xia Jingxing admired in her heart, she deserved to be an old driver of the mall, and her temperament was so tight-handed.

   "Eaby has offered double conditions?"

  Blackburn smiled and asked and replied, "It's absolutely impossible, they don't have that much courage."

  Old man John made a straight face, "Look at his opponent, he is digging his own grave."

  After speaking, he took out his cell phone, dialed the phone, and turned on the amplifier directly.

   "I am John Hennessy..."

   "Mr. Hennessy, Amazon is notoriously stingy. Don't sign contracts with them."

   "A new user for $40, there is no problem at all, and the promotion fee can be settled once a month."

  "What second shopping, effective users? No need at all. You are responsible for diverting new users. Eaby has the ability and confidence to complete the conversion of these users."

  "Don't worry about warehousing and logistics, just leave it to us. We have cooperation with UPS, FedEx, DHL, and Maersk."

  "Transaction fee? Hmm...this is also exempted. But we need to add an exemption ceiling, the annual sales should not exceed 10 million U.S. dollars. For the excess, we still have to charge the transaction fee normally."

   "Mr. Hennessy, I heard that Facebook users are about to exceed 3 million? Is this true?"

  ...

  Others present were silent, listening quietly to what Old Man John was saying.

  Including several mid-level Amazons who had just looked arrogant, they all became honest at this time, no longer the arrogant arrogance.

  Blackburn lowered his head and listened carefully for any flaws in the conversation.

  In fact, the more he listened, the cooler he became, because he heard the voice on the phone. It was indeed an executive of eaby, not an actor casually invited by Old Man John.

  Old man John hung up after saying a few scenes.

  He glanced at the middle and high-level Amazon sitting opposite, and said in a flat tone: "Eaby's conditions, have you heard clearly?

  You can offer better conditions than them, then we will look for your cooperation.

  You don’t have to worry that I will take your offer and turn around to negotiate with eaby.

  The conditions set out by Darren, if you can agree, sign the contract on the spot.

  We are not greedy people, we just want to get fairer terms of cooperation. "

   Blackburn said coldly, “The contract we signed before with Facebook has an exclusive agreement.”

   "One million dollar liquidated damages, right?"

  Old man John smiled, "I still have a pension, so I should be able to lend it to Facebook."

  Blackburn is silent. He knows the old man’s wealth for his pension.

  One million liquidated damages, in the eyes of a billionaire, are not worth mentioning.

  He regrets a bit now, the penalty for the last contract was too small, only one million dollars.

  Thinking of this, he glanced at the smiling Andrew. It was this **** fat lawyer who reduced the penalty from ten million to one million.

  He didn't expect that Facebook would develop so fast at the beginning, and it was so fast that even Amazon, a company with a market value of 10 billion yuan, had to pay attention to the cooperation between the two sides.

  So I didn't insist on the liquidated damages too much, thinking that one million would be enough.

  Looking at it now, it's completely misguided.

  After the rise of Facebook, their internal team has analyzed that if Facebook wins the college market in the United States, it will have at least 10 million registered users.

  And most of these student users have not made online shopping.

  If all these people are developed into Amazon users, it can greatly enrich the number of Amazon users.

  More importantly, these people are students.

  Even if the current purchasing power is not strong, it will be the backbone of society in a few years.

  Young is the future!

  If these students are taken away by Eaby, the boss Bezos must not spare them.

  They can actually bypass Facebook and place Amazon ads directly on campus, but the effect is hard to say.

   Facebook, as a campus social networking site, gathers a large number of students on it, and is naturally closer to students than they are, and even guides students.

  And pay according to the number of new users, which is much safer than direct advertising on campus.

  Because of the large-scale advertising, it may not be able to achieve much effect, and there may even be no harvest.

  The more Blackburn thought about it, the more worried he became, and his heart became a little flustered.

  He forced himself to calm down quickly, slammed the old man John, Andrew and the three founders of Facebook, and left the meeting room with a few middle-level people and asked Bezos to go.

  The meeting is temporarily suspended!

  After waiting for the people from Amazon to leave, Andrew gave old man John a thumbs up, "Where do you hire an actor? It's a Hollywood movie star!"

  Old John shook his head and laughed, "Blackburn is not a fool, please can the actor fool him?"

   "Is that really the top of eaby?"

  The little dog exclaimed.

  The foreign girl asked: "Mr. Hennessy, listening to the content on the phone, it seems that the people at eaby are very clear about our cooperation with Amazon, and even the results of the cooperation?"

  Old man John nodded, "You asked this question well. If you don’t understand these things, they won’t offer such generous terms."

  "Leaking these cooperative content and effects to eaby certainly aroused their interest and participated in the cooperative bidding.

  But does it violate the confidentiality agreement in the contract? "

  The foreign girl looked at Old Man John and wanted a reasonable answer.

   "Some rules are just used to break, it's a big deal to lose a million dollars!"

  Old John, leaning back on the seat, said with a smile.

  Andrew nodded, "That's right, compared with the potential benefits of tens of millions, this one million is nothing."

  Xia Jingxing did not speak, and European and American societies shouted for laws and human rights every day, all of which were deceiving the lower class.

  In the face of absolute interests, legal constraints are a shit.

  The words of Old Man John just now revealed this **** reality.

   Including Blackburn, just mentioned the liquidated damages.

  If an ordinary startup company is threatened like this, it will directly be persuaded.

  But Facebook has old man John, a famous school principal and billionaire, who is not afraid of legal intimidation at all.

  In fact, Blackburn could directly accuse Old Man John of leaking the content of the cooperation to a third party.

  But he didn't do this. On the one hand, it didn't do much. On the other hand, it made the two companies guilty, which became equivalent to pushing Facebook to eaby's side.

  There is no right or wrong in the adult world, just look at the pros and cons.

  Xia Jingxing understood it naturally, and didn't ask much.

  The foreign girl and the little dog are still students, so they just ask more.

  Now the two of them also understand, and no longer talk too much.

  About an hour later, Blackburn returned with someone.
