Chapter 11 Overseas Shopping and eBAy

"Oh my God,,,,,, George, you're going to be famous, completely famous.

You have to know that if you are studied by them, it means that you have officially entered their sight, and it is a very remarkable thing to be favored by such a giant. ”

Hearing George's words, James deliberately made an exaggerated expression and said.

In fact, he didn't understand in his heart that there was no benefit to such attention, which meant that a large part of the past and future could not be displayed in the eyes of others like a magnifying glass.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about something else, some things are inevitable, Buffett and Soros and others have such treatment, if you don't study others, others will study you, and it's useless to worry. ”

George took a cigarette from the cigarette case next to him and took a puff.

With his cheap grandfather and Lao Tzu, many things can be solved very simply, and even many things are stifled in the embryonic stage.

The role of the family is shown here, even if he is just an illegitimate child, he is also a member of the family, although it belongs to the secret, it is not something that outsiders can watch and bully at will, there are many things that will automatically disappear without a trace in the embryonic stage.

The rise of no family is smooth sailing, and they have all come all the way in the sea of corpses and blood.

Don't you see how many people in the Kennedy family have paid for the rise of the family?

Although my mother didn't say it explicitly on the phone today, George understood the meaning of the secret disclosure.

His cheap grandfather already knows what he is doing now, and has expressed his support for it, so that he can rest assured to do it boldly, everything is there.

With this sentence, George was still a little worried, but it was not too powerful, and the sudden appearance of all this was just due to the lack of knowledge about history books and more things.

To put it bluntly, the more you know, the more you think, and you just scare yourself.

"Do you want to live your life after this is over?"

James saw that George didn't seem to continue the discussion on the issue, so he diverted the subject.

"With some ideas, today when I was bored after eating at Temple Street, I found a particularly interesting profession, and I thought if we could do it well, then it would be a super project.

However, the life cycle of this project is a bit short, so short that we have to sell it when we are just starting to make profits, or it will fall into our own hands. ”

George didn't choose to hide it from James, and of course there was nothing to hide, after all, James would be his partner as long as the two philosophies clashed.

Tell him some thoughts in advance so that he can be prepared and sort out what to do next.

"You don't want to learn from Soros to attack a country's currency or financial system, do you?"

"No, you can completely relax at this point, I don't want to be persona non grata, and if it weren't for the fact that there is no other way I would choose to enter the financial trading market to earn my starting capital. ”

James is not wrong to think so, after all, after this wave of leeks is cut, the funds available to George are definitely astronomical.

With this money, George has fully possessed the absolute strength to impact the finance of a small country and win, if he wants to continue on this path, then the Quantum Fund and the Tiger Fund and even the Digital Fund will be his role model and his future path.

If it was the previous George who would definitely continue on this road, constantly crawling on the road that he couldn't see clearly, it was possible to achieve the same achievements as Soros, and of course it was more likely to be bankrupt and liquidated like the Snow Fund.

"I want to make a purchasing website first, through this website to step into the Internet circle, the future of the world is the Internet, he will also change people's lifestyle, don't you see eBay is starting to do it?

No matter what kind of struggle the domestic supermarkets and merchants have not succeeded? People have gradually become accustomed to this kind of being able to buy things without leaving home, and only need to pay for the goods and go to the entrance of the community or a special pick-up point to pick them up.

This can greatly shorten the time they spend shopping, allowing them to spend the time they save elsewhere. ”

"But George, have you ever thought that eBay's layout in China has been completed, and he will start the road of expansion to the outside world, and have you ever thought about how to face him?"

As a beneficiary of this Internet bubble, it is impossible for James not to do his homework, and it is impossible for him not to understand eBay, knowing that eBay's layout in China has now been completed, as long as there is no mistake in the general direction, it will soon usher in a profit harvest period.

Although there is now a god assist from the Internet bubble, in James's opinion, the competition with eBay is really more defeated and less victorious, and he can't see George's hope of winning.

What's more important is that eBay is now ready to expand outward, in the face of such a behemoth, what can the purchasing website that is still stuck in the ideology and not even recorded on paper to compete?

"James, you've miscalculated a place, I'm not competing with him, it's not good for him right now, it's more important that we're not on the same path as him.

ebay may take the road of overseas shopping and purchasing, but now he is not, he is taking the local merchants, in the face of the domestic road, we directly take the United States to Thailand, RB to China, South Korea to Southeast Asia, Paris to Southeast Asia and even Xiangjiang route.

In the future, even if ebay embarks on this road, have you ever thought about it, word of mouth is the most important thing, ebay has a variety of goods and thousands of merchants, can you guarantee that all of his above are genuine?

Don't forget that their merchants are locals, even if they specialize in shopping overseas and selling them on eBay, but how do overseas goods come from?

They entrust others to buy at a higher price, and you have calculated their costs when you go abroad to buy them yourself? Hotel, food, accommodation, tariffs, and other issues, trivial can make a person not want to have a second time.

This group of people will also be our customers, and as long as you attract them, it will also bring a lot of traffic,,,,,,。 ”

George still has something to say that he can invest in the ebay model, but if he is really asked to do it, he will follow Amazon's model, although Amazon has been losing money and spending time in the loss of the market and the scolding of Jeff Bezos by investors and board members since its inception.

But who would have thought that Amazon, which has been losing money and is still making various investments, is completing its own ecosystem industry chain, and when everything is completed, the energy that bursts out is beyond anyone's imagination.

At that point, look back and see what a ridiculous joke it was for those who had abused Bezos for going his own way.

George wants to take the route of overseas shopping boutiques, since he is willing to increase the price and pay tariffs to let friends buy some items abroad, there must be no problem with the quality of life, at least it is also the middle class, what a huge group this is, anyone who faces such a group will leave saliva and greedy eyes.

The middle class of the third world will grow at a visible rate every day with the development of the economy in the near future, as long as they are caught, then the overseas shopping website that George still has in his mind will definitely occupy a place in the world of stone steps.

At the same time, he can sell back the specialties and cheap objects of some countries in China and Southeast Asia to the United States, targeting the middle and low-level people, after all, although the United States is the mainstream of the middle class in developed countries, the money of the middle class is not blown by the wind, and it is of course better to save it, and no one will dislike their own money.

Labor wages in the United States are very high, coupled with transportation materials, etc., which has also created a high price of goods, many Chinese production of porcelain, bedding and even children's toys, etc., even if the tariffs are still cheaper than those bought in the United States, and even the quality is not worse than that in the United States.

As for the life in the United States, which is advertised all day long, it is only the life of some people living in big cities such as New York and Los Angeles, and who knows what life is like in small towns? Newspapers and media will not report on it anyway.
