Chapter 364: The Shopping Revolution
Subsequently, Masayoshi Kishimoto had a long meeting with the core management personnel of Hard Gold Construction. The person in charge of the whole meeting minutes is naturally the head of the secretary's office, Mirai Yamada.
After the meeting, Kishimoto did not return home, but ordered a taxi to be called. He still took Yamada Mirai to the car, and left with a 45-degree bow to the core management of Hard Gold Construction, led by Katsuhei Yamaguchi.
The next place where Kishimoto will go is the hard gold e-commerce office in Chuo Ward. Without prior notice by phone, Miyazaki Ryuai was not a little surprised when he saw the sudden visit of the chairman and the secretary of the office, but a little confused.
"What do you see? You come in with me. "Kishimoto is the right thing to say.
Miyazaki followed him and obediently walked into the conference room. Mirai Yamada dragged his suitcase in both hands and followed. As soon as she put down her suitcase, she immediately went to get her notebook to prepare for the meeting minutes.
"What's going on with hard gold e-commerce? Is it developing too slowly?" said Kishimoto bluntly.
"I've been living and eating for it. The recruitment of relevant professionals has indeed encountered a bit of a problem. It's just that there are not many people who really know how to do it. Miyazaki Tatsui told the truth.
"You told me that there are companies in the Tokyo area that do this kind of business. We go straight to a full buyout.
In addition to that, I would buy some of Amazon's shares. At that time, you will send some people to the United States to conduct deep learning related to e-commerce.
By the way, during my trip to Hangzhou, although I did not sign a direct contract with Alibaba, Ma San has already said positively that he will come to Tokyo to discuss cooperation in person. "Kishimoto is heartfelt.
After Miyazaki Ryujing listened, his whole body was full of enthusiasm. This time, the chairman not only wants to invest $20 million in the first round, but also quickly and accurately.
As far as I know, there are many companies in Japan, but they don't have such a large scale as we did. ”
Miyazaki was concerned that the risks were too great. Although e-commerce can take off in the United States, it does not necessarily mean that it will receive the same good results in Japan.
"That's why I'm telling you, to get you up quickly. There is such a wise saying in Chinese martial arts, the world's martial arts are invincible, and only fast is not broken.
For now, all I want is speed. It's because the companies you're talking about are small that I'm going to make a full buyout.
If they are big, they are not easy to acquire. A negotiation alone can take a lot of time. It's much easier to deal with these small companies.
Give a price directly, do it, and give money. Don't do it, change to the next company. I can also give the promise of the founders of the acquired company to enter management.
Of course, they don't want money, and it's not impossible for them to want shares in our hard gold group or hard gold e-commerce. "Kishimoto is the railway.
"Boss, are you in too much of a hurry?" said Miyazaki for the first time when he had seen him in such a desperate mood to promote an investment project.
"It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's that time waits for no one. What I want is the courage to be the first in the world. Nowadays, it is precisely because many chaebols are waiting and seeing, and they do not even think that e-commerce can change the way people live.
So, they don't invest heavily in this one area. Actually, I can quite understand the mentality and thoughts of these old guys.
What I want to do is to fill the gap in such a market, so that I can occupy the market, control the market, and obtain excess profits in the future. Otherwise, what am I running around for?" Kishimoto said eloquently.
"Americans are not the same as Japanese. The lifestyles of the two are also different. Although I am very happy that hard gold e-commerce is highly valued by you, I always feel that the risk is too great.
We don't want to make it too big when we come up, and we can completely follow the practice of some small companies and conduct a pilot. Miyazaki reminded him of cultural differences.
"What's the meaning of a dragonfly? If economies of scale are not achieved, the marginal effect will not be maximized.
If we can't form a monopoly and hegemony in this field, then it will be difficult to grasp the relevant discourse and bargaining power in our hands, and it will not make consumers really feel that we are carrying out a revolution in shopping.
Only let them experience the convenience of staying at home, and only need to click a few clicks on the computer screen with the mouse to complete the goods they want to buy, how convenient it is.
Not only that, but our shopping platform is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. No matter what time period it is, the people on it can go shopping according to their rest time, and they don't have to move the time to go out and buy the products they want. ”
Kishimoto has a very long-term view. His thinking is exactly the way of e-commerce nearly 20 years later. In this regard, let alone Miyazaki Ryui, even the current Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, would not have thought of it.
Mirai Yamada, who was sitting on the sidelines and taking minutes of the meeting, was completely misty in his ears. She also admits in her heart that the idea of the president is very good, and it is exactly like the lifestyle of the science fiction movies she watched when she was a child.
However, whether this can become a reality is another matter. If the investment is wrong, it will bring a lot of losses to the company.
"Boss, you're too far ahead of your time. Even if I can accept it, it will be difficult for ordinary people to accept it in a short period of time. "Miyazaki Ryujing has a saying.
"That's why I'm spending money to cultivate such a market first. The aim is to help Japanese people change their current shopping habits and gradually develop the habit of shopping online.
Don't forget that there are still a lot of skudos, otaku, otaku and so on in Japan. Although they don't like to be in contact with the outside world, they do consume.
Our shopping revolution has brought good news to such people and made money from them. Isn't it worth developing the potential people in such a huge market?
A win-win situation, everyone is happy. In the future, people will be able to use not only computers but also mobile phones, and they will be able to make purchases at their fingertips.
Even if you don't have money, it doesn't matter. We can also offer a credit card-style model of spending first and repaying later. If you can't pay it off at once, you can also pay it in installments. "Kishimoto completely used his pre-travel online shopping thinking and gushed endlessly.
