Jeffrey P.Bezos，the founder，president and chairman of the board of Amazon.jye.ai，was born in Albuquerque，New Mexico.His mother's ancestors were early settlers in Texas，and over the generations had acquired a 25，000-acre farm at Cotulla.Jeffrey spent most summers of his youth working with his grandfather on their farm.
Jeffrey showed strong and varied scientific interests at an early age.He set up an electric alarm to keep his younger sisters and brothers out of his room and changed his parents' garage into a laboratory for his science projects.
After he graduated from Princeton University with a degree in computer science and electrical engineering，Jeffrey Bezos found employment on Wall Street，where computer science was increasingly in demand to study market trends.He rose quickly，becoming a senior Vice President，and looked forward to a bright career in finance，when he made a discovery that changed his life，and the course of business history.
In 1994，there was still no Internet commerce to speak of.One day that spring，Jeffrey Bezos observed that Internet usage was increasing by 2300 percent a year.He saw an opportunity for a new circle of commerce，and immediately began considering the possibilities.
