"The hotel can wait until the personnel arrive to make preparations, but the matter of overseas shopping can be done now, so many unemployed people in Silicon Valley are waiting for our rescue, otherwise they may go bankrupt. ，

The first market we have to face now is the whole of Southeast Asia, and after we have established ourselves here, we are slowly trying to make progress, what do you think of this idea?"

George didn't dwell too much on James's persuasion, but pulled the topic down to the overseas shopping they talked about yesterday.

This is something he really wants to do now, as for the chain hotel, it is just because he saw Yang Shoucheng and remembered that there was such an opportunity, which was just a tool used to collect money and increase his influence in Huaxia and even establish a good relationship with the government.

After all, he will make some investments in Huaxia in the next few years, and he can abandon them at any time if necessary, provided that he can get enough benefits.

Although it is an oriental thinking, George's original western thinking still influences him all the time, making the first thing that comes to mind when he thinks about problems is interests, and everything is only interest.

"George, did you leave a place behind?"

Listening to George's words, James thought for a moment and asked a question.

"It's missing a place, Huaxia, which is a place we must enter in the future, but compared to the four tigers in Southeast Asia, Huaxia is still a little bit worse now.

Of course, we can also do a project to test the water there, but we will not advertise and develop the market on a large scale, and only Guangdong Province is enough. ”

"Is this your final decision?"

James didn't ask why this time, he was not optimistic about George as a speculator to do business, so that in his eyes, the overseas shopping website is not virtual but industrial.

He believed that George would return to the nature of a speculator after touching a gray head, and as for the money invested in it, it would be considered tuition, after all, George was not short of money now.

"Yes, this is a huge market, when others are noticing the United States, Canada, and even Europe, when the Chinese in Silicon Valley are beginning to return to China to start a business and pay attention to China, what we need is to seize the time when they are still cultivating the market, and completely occupy this virgin land.

The more important point here is that the market in China is incomparable,,,,,,, the network speed here has been upgraded, and when our website is built, the network upgrade will also be completed, and then people who see our company's website will not have to wait for a long time as I want to read a little news now. ”

"George, have you ever thought about what you need to do next after the website is built? You should know that only the website has no effect, do you want to learn Amazon's self-built warehouse, or do you want to learn eBay to promote and trade in the community?

It's an unrealistic idea that eBay's success is built on community forums and our nation's fast-paced logistics system, the cyber highway program that Clinton has been aggressively pursuing since he took office.

What's here? Logistics and network penetration?

I don't see everything that will make you successful, it's not me who hits you, you should make a plan based on the reality in front of you?"

James looked at George, who was smiling as if he had everything in his hands, and couldn't help but open his mouth and put some of the things he knew in front of George.

The website is not only the main thing, the quality and logistics speed are the most important, the customer places an order with you, that is the original property product he wants, and it is delivered to him as soon as possible.

"No, no, James, you don't understand what I think, Haitao is just a small part of this plan now, what I'm going to do now is the Amazon model. ”

"Mygod, George, do you know what you're doing?"

As soon as James heard George's words, he immediately stood up in his chair, and the cigarette he had just lit in his hand fell to the ground, obviously completely shocked by George's thoughts.

"Calm down, calm down, James I know what I'm doing, and I think you'll get the idea. ”

Looking at the excited James, George didn't expect him to have such a big reaction, so he didn't know how to continue talking for a while, so he could only get up and walk to James's side first to let him do it again.

"The Amazon model? It's a model that can't succeed, it doesn't do anything but lose money, and of course it can create a huge job rate here, that's all.

George: You have to figure out that you're making decisions, you have to know that it's not so easy to stop once you start, you have to know that when you really start, your current seemingly desperately large amount of money will immediately bottom out.

It's the winter of the Internet, and many people won't be optimistic about the industry, and it's not so simple for you to want financing.

My friend, I don't want to see you go that far. ”

James, who sat down again, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the desk, re-lit it, took a deep breath and exhaled the cigarette, thought for a while and then spoke.

"James I know your intentions, but my friend, have you thought about the next path we will take?

Continue to wallow in this irregular capital market?

You know, the huge wealth we earn today may come back to square one in the future because of a careless accident, and it may not even be as good as now.

I think we need to make a change, if you just live your life with a bunch of boring numbers every day, don't you think life is very boring?

In the past, we didn't have the capital and didn't have the qualifications to go to a leisurely life, but now that we have, it's also a very good thing to find something to do for ourselves on the road of a leisurely life, what do you say?"

George stared at James, his face became slightly serious, and he said.

"George, if you want to make a change, I will not object, but we need to do it in a practical way, such as going to an investment bank and securities company as a shareholder, or going to a company to be the boss, which is a very good choice.

I don't see hope in the path that that madman Bezos is taking now, yes, I don't see hope for him to succeed.

If it's the ebay model, I won't object, he has begun to make a profit, let me see his success, I will follow you to do it, but my friend, the Amazon model investment is too big, Bezos will take another road that we have not taken, this road is not so simple, even if he can really make a profit in the end, it is not known how long it will be later, what will be left in our hands at that time?

Have you ever wondered what you need most right now?"

"No, no, no, James, listen to me, the Amazon has now become formed, and all that needs to be done now is to keep filling in the framework he has formulated.

What's more, you don't see that since the Amazon model is a loss-making business, why is Wall Street and those in the limelight still so keen to invest in him?

Do you think it's possible to get a bunch of vampires to do charity?

I don't know if you've noticed, Amazon's stock has also suffered a heavy blow in this crisis, but it was dragged down by the broader market, and if you look closely, he didn't really lose much.

He had just gone through a financing round before the crisis, and the money from that financing and their free money were enough to support them through the winter and a series of mergers and acquisitions.

On the contrary, eBay has really lost a lot this time, except for one office building of his own, the rest is almost all leased, and even the goods he is ready to sell are only a small deposit.

If you compare the two models a little, although they have their own benefits, in the end, Amazon will win.

His logistics are located in every corner of the United States, and his warehouses are able to guarantee same-day and even next-day delivery most of the time.

At Bezos's insistence, they established a quality inspection center, as long as the goods from his warehouse can guarantee more than 90% authenticity and pass rate, which is a more meticulous and terrifying testing method than Wal-Mart testing center.

His way of operating is to deliver to you, not to a turnaround point like eBay and then let you pick up the goods in person.

You can return the product you bought at any time because you don't like it, as long as you can guarantee his sale here, if the product you purchased is defective, he can immediately reissue it to your hands without any reason.

Of course, the important part is the low price.

Service, service, or service, everything he does revolves around the idea that the customer is God, which cannot be compared with large shopping malls and specialty stores. ”
