Jeffrey Bezos had an interest in science when he was a high school student. He liked to stay in
his father’s garage and did many experiments. At that time, he even learned from his grandfather and
understood how to use clocks to play tricks on his cousin.
In 1994, Jeffrey Bezos found the Internet became popular, so he thought of an idea. Though he had a
good job, he still wanted to have his own business on the Internet. One day, he drove from Seattle to New
York and finally crossed the USA. He wrote a business plan on the way and made up his mind to set up his
company in his garage. His company was about a bookstore on the Internet. He called it “ Cadabra ” at first
but later he changed it into “ Amazon. ”
With his knowledge about science, people now can buy all kinds of books on Amazon quickly and
easily. What’s more, people can buy the same books at lower prices on Amazon.
Amazon soon became a big bookstore around the world. However, Jeffrey dreams something bigger.
For him, Amazon isn’t just a bookstore. It should be a special store on the Internet, and people can find
everything on it. Next time, maybe you can buy a cup of coffee from Amazon if you feel thirsty.
