AMAZON HISTORY: FROM GARAGE TO FLYING WAREHOUSES FOR 20 YEARS
Four million deliveries per day and 350 million models of gadgets, clothing, household chemicals and everything you can imagine. This is Amazon - the largest marketplace in the world.
Since 2014, Amazon’s value has almost doubled: from $ 180 billion to $ 350 billion, and the company's founder, Jeff Bezos, has become one of the richest people on the planet. His fortune is approaching $ 70 billion, he is twice richer than Zuckerberg and comes close to Bill Gates, who has $ 76 billion. Already 22 years ago, when Microsoft was at the peak of popularity, no one suspected Amazon. The company did not even have a name, and Bezos himself was sitting alone on a table, knocked together from an old door, and hoped that someone would buy books from him. This is the success story of a Wall Street clerk who decided one day to go to Seattle, a provincial town and go to work in his own garage.
“SO THAT LATER NOT TO REGRET”
T hey say that to be truly free you need to be a little crazy. An example of Jeff Bezos proves this claim. He worked on Wall Street and even became vice president of a successful New York hedge fund. He had his own house and several hundred thousand dollars in the account. The guy was married to a slender tall brunette. His bosses appreciated him and his competitors called him. However, this was not enough for Jeff Bezos.
In service, Bezos was responsible for Internet business, a new direction in the early 90s that was just starting to develop in the United States. He saw companies emerging from nowhere and gaining tens of thousands of customers. Jeff discussed this phenomenon with his boss, and both came to the conclusion that one day an online store will appear that sells absolutely ALL and delivers any product directly to the buyer’s house. The more Bezos thought about it, the more he liked the idea.
“If not me, someone else will do it,” thought one day Jeff Bezos and dumped him from the boring job.
Jeff quit, moved with his wife to Seattle and began to develop the concept of his site. When asked in an interview how he decided on such a crazy move, Bezos replies: “I knew that I would regret it if I did not try.”
