Probably more has been written about Jeff Bezos in this last week after buying the Washington Post that several years of business success and deep processing of Amazon, the company that controls and founded in the 90s. Perhaps because of the discretion that is showing and that has led him to visit Spain to know their origins and one of his first customers.
Specifically, Burgos capital and Villafrechós (Valladolid). This small village in the north of the province is where paternal grandparents were born Bezos. Therefore, the founder of Amazon made the day suitcases in Seattle, took a plane with his family and stood in this small enclave Castilian for a few days, know the area and the origins of his name, as revealed by way of anecdote Sebastian J. Gunningham, Amazon counselor .
A Burgos, its first customer
It is the unknown link technology mogul has to with Spain and has located the peninsula always first line of his European releases. A Bezos is excited to Spain since Amazon.com went online in the summer of 1995. In its first month received an order from Spain and, more specifically, from Burgos. That episode he should excite the Amazon founder because 16 years after Bezos told himself in a letter to mark the launch of its Spanish website in 2011. Someone in the Castilian city found the Amazon website, there was no concept of what we now know as web-search engines and ordered the book '
The World in 2020: Power, Culture and Prosperity '. And from Seattle (USA) came to Spain first order. Unlike other multinationals, Amazon has taken in recent years to expand crisis in Spain. In 2010 she starred in the purchase of the 'outlet' sales through Internet Buyvip for about $ 100 million. The following year he launched the Spanish version of its shopping website and began establishing its logistics centers, first from Toulouse (France) and later from its new plant in Guadalajara. Amazon is now one of the largest tech giants. About 20% of its
revenue comes and other divisions that are not their original business of selling through Internet. Bezos has made his company one of the leaders of cloud computing and virtual infrastructure hosting. But Amazon has also the largest seller of digital books, movies or music, and one of the main Kindle tablets. Its market value has increased sixfold between 2009 and today: a mere 22.000 million to 134.000 million.
