Becoming the richest man in the world at a young age, but failed miserably in China. What happened in the end?

Since the 1990s, the Internet has been developing at a rapid rate. As of now, the Internet is at the peak of its development, and this situation will continue for a long time. In this context of rapid economic development and developed Internet, the competitiveness of enterprises in many fields will continue to improve, especially the most popular online shopping industry in China. Many rising stars of online shopping have fallen in the fierce competition. There is such an online shopping platform that is very famous in the world, but there is no room for development in China. This platform is Amazon, and the president of Amazon is the familiar Bezos.

Love science and have great innovative ability

Bezos was born in an ordinary family in the United States and had a happy childhood. When he was born, his mother took him to marry Miguel, a Cuban immigrant. Although Bezos is not his biological son, the two have a very close relationship. Bezos and his family have always lived a peaceful and peaceful life. This free and happy living atmosphere also allows him to better develop his talents. At that time, Bezos's grandfather worked in an atomic energy company, and he would subtly cultivate his love for science in Bezos, and Bezos was also deeply attracted by the wonders of science.

Bezos is not only passionate about science, but his learning and innovation abilities are also amazing. When he was 14 years old, he stored many of his scientific research, engineering experiments, etc. in his garage. In addition, he also used his unbridled creativity to modify many items. When Bezos was 16 years old, he installed a windmill by himself and used a variety of difficult farming tools.

Versatile, he started his first business in high school

Even though Bezos is very passionate about science, he still does not delay his studies. He is a very smart and hard-working person, and he takes his studies very seriously. He was very good at school and served as monitor in junior high school. His three years of experience as monitor also gave him stronger leadership and organizational skills. He also gave a speech as an outstanding graduate at the junior high school graduation party.

The most influential period for Bezos was in high school. During this period, he started his own entrepreneurial journey, fully demonstrating his flexible thinking ability. At that time, Bezos fell in love with sky mirrors, and a sky mirror cost 20 US dollars. His mother thought it was too expensive and refused to buy it for him, so he bought a lot of parts at low prices and learned to assemble them by himself. The performance of the assembled sky mirror is also good.

His first entrepreneurial journey can be said to be very successful. When Bezos graduated from high school, he also won the highest scholarship for high school graduates in the United States for the honor of outstanding students. This made many students very happy. envious of him. Due to Bezos' outstanding performance in many aspects, he was later successfully admitted to Princeton University, where he was exposed to computers, which became an opportunity that led him to success.

Successfully started a business and became the richest man in the world

As mentioned earlier, because Bezos came into contact with computers during college, and computers had not yet generally appeared in the public eye, Bezos Fascinated by this novelty. After graduating from college, he resolutely chose the computer industry. After he gained a deeper understanding of computers, he also achieved considerable success with his own abilities.

Later, Bezos was not satisfied with the status quo, and soon founded the most advanced fund management company at the time. This also made more people know about Bezos and affirmed his ability. Bezos is also very observant. He saw a set of data showing a significant increase in the number of people using the Internet year by year. This made him keenly aware of business opportunities and wanted to start a company as well-known as Microsoft.

In 1995, Bezos quit his job and came to Seattle. In order to get enough funds to continue his business, he wrote a business plan and founded his own Amazon company. He spent most of his time and energy on companies such as Amazon. He used novel ways of selling books to attract a large number of fans. Because of this, Amazon became the largest book selling company in the world in a short period of time. Zoss also became the world's richest man with assets of nearly 800 billion yuan.

World-famous, but defeated by China

Amazon has attracted people from all over the world with its unique and novel way of selling books, and has become a favorite book-purchasing website for more people. The reason why Bezos succeeds is not only related to his sharp thinking and super ability, but also to his boldness. Bezos also continues to expand the scale of Amazon, constantly adding new elements, carrying out innovations and reforms, and wants to build it into a more influential platform.

Amazon has been stationed in China since 2004. Over the past sixteen years, the domestic Internet industry has continued to develop, and many online shopping platforms have gradually emerged, such as Pinduoduo, JD.com, and Taobao, all of which have attracted a large number of domestic people. love. Bezos also believed that Amazon would be very successful in China, but the reality was not what he imagined.

In the sixteen years since Amazon entered China, it has received far less favor than domestic online shopping platforms. Its share of the Chinese e-commerce market is less than 1%, which surprised Bezos. Even if he later changed the operating procedures, he still could not make Amazon develop into a popular platform in China. In the end, Bezos left China with 600 million yuan.

In the course of Bezos's growth, he was indeed a rare entrepreneurial genius. He owned his own company at a young age and was already worth hundreds of billions before he was middle-aged. Compared with Jack Ma, No less impressive. The founding time of Amazon is very similar to that of Taobao, but today Amazon is far inferior to it in the Chinese market. The Amazon founded by Bezos could easily capture the hearts and minds of the world market, but it failed miserably at the hands of China.

The reason is that China is developing too rapidly, and domestic online shopping platforms are more advanced and more in line with the needs of domestic people, while Amazon remains unchanged and faces many domestic companies with a proud attitude. Over the past decade, various online shopping services have been optimized, and there are even convenient services such as door-to-door delivery, but Amazon still sticks to the same old routine. Who would choose the old one now that there is a more convenient platform?

Conclusion

Bezos’ failure in China has taught him that a platform suitable for the development of national conditions is a good platform. I hope that Bezos can be more bold in innovation in his future business operations. , providing different services in different fields.
