The relationship between major e-commerce companies and RE is like that between chain stores and shopping malls. From payment to logistics, these traditional e-commerce companies are responsible for providing them, while RE only provides a "window", and the relationship between the two parties is more akin to an interdependence.

In fact, Jiang Chen had considered starting from scratch before, getting rid of those old e-commerce companies, covering a series of links from payment to logistics, and creating his own shopping platform for Future People Technology. However, after discussing with Xia Shiyu, he still gave up this plan.

Future technology builds rockets, but there is no need to polish every screw.

In the Future Man Building on Koro Island, wearing a smart OL suit, Xia Shiyu stood in front of Jiang Chen's desk and reported the situation of RE. From the excitement faintly revealed under her strict face, Jiang Chen could already feel how gratifying the results of the "VR + e-commerce" plan that had been brewing for more than half a year were.

“…… According to the feedback from the North American branch, the total Amazon shopping transaction volume increased by 18% in the first week of RE's launch, and the RE platform accounted for 40% of the week's transaction volume. eBay's transaction volume also increased by 13%, and the two e-commerce companies immediately proposed an additional agreement to cooperate with us, hoping that we could relax the review of products and speed up the speed of store check-in. ”

Jiang Chen leaned comfortably on the seat.

"What about Huaguo?"

The corners of Xia Shiyu's mouth hooked up a smile, and then said.

"Taobao's transaction volume increased by 28% compared with last week, and JD.com's transaction volume increased by 34%."

Don't underestimate the 28% increase, although it includes many factors such as organic growth and network marketing, the entire sales base is very large. Taking Taobao alone, Taobao's annual transaction volume in 2015 is 3 trillion! And since 10 years, it has maintained an increase of more than 60% year by year.

Although the growth rate has slowed down, according to the 17-year transaction volume announced by Taobao, the transaction volume still exceeded 4 trillion, and now the artifact of RE has suddenly been killed, I am afraid that Taobao's transaction volume is expected to exceed the 5 trillion mark this year.

"It's like a money printing machine." Jiang Chen sighed.

"I think so too," Xia Shiyu nodded in agreement, "Do you know how much money we made on RE last week?" ”

"How much?" Jiang Chen asked with interest.

"1.2 billion."

When he heard this number, he was stunned.

However, Xia Shiyu seemed to think that this figure was not shocking enough, so she added, "$1.2 billion." ”

Recovering from the shock, Jiang Chen smiled embarrassedly and touched his nose.

“…… If you don't say it, I thought it was VND. ”

1.2 billion a week, how is this Nima just a money printing machine? The money printing machine didn't print so fast!

What's even more staggering is that the 1.2 billion is still after-tax income. Although the scanning fee of 1 million items contributed more than half, the figure of 1.2 billion still scared Jiang Chen. You must know that Ali has a net profit of more than 7 billion a year, and global e-commerce can already rank at the top. And the RE of the Future People Group only took a week to earn the performance that Ali needs a quarter to complete!

If this waits until RE grows, then what's the point?

In order to celebrate this victory, Jiang Chen gave a big red envelope to each of the more than 300 employees of the RE project team, and also took them to a celebration party on the hot spring island.

From beginning to end, this RE is a VR program independently developed by these current technicians using the development tools provided by Jiang Chen. This is undoubtedly a big step towards technological independence for the Future People Group.

At present, in the entire Future People Group, only Future People Technology has done this.

……

The first reaction of vested interests to new things is rejection, the second reaction is how to prevent it, and the third reaction is to think about how to make changes in line with the trend of the times.

Bentonville, Arkansas, USA, is home to the headquarters of Walmart Inc., the world's largest retailer.

This legendary retail business has an almost legendary history. When Fortune magazine released the 2007 list of the world's top 500 companies, Wal-Mart topped the list with a turnover of 100 million US dollars, winning this honor for six consecutive years. When Fortune magazine began its selection of Fortune 500 companies in 1955, Wal-Mart was just a mom-and-pop shop in the small town of Bentonville.

At this moment, inside Walmart's headquarters, the board of directors held an emergency meeting to discuss how to respond to the impact of RE on the retail landscape.

"What fool rejected the mention of futuristic technology, we could have hitched a ride on RE."

"It's the vote of the board, Mr. Cathro." E.O. Macmillan stood up and responded to the director who had accused him.

"Oh? So you mean, all of you are stupid? ”

"Don't get me wrong, I definitely didn't mean that, Mr. Catherro. Unless you approve of it yourself. ”

"You!"

Knock knock

The sound of banging on the table top, forcibly breaking the noise on the conference table.

Robson Walton, the chairman of the board of directors sitting at the head of the conference table, stopped tapping his knuckles on the table and glanced at the two of them with his cloudy but sharp eyes.

"We have more important things to do than we fight, don't we?"

The elderly head of the Walton family, who had great prestige on the board, looked at the old Walton and quickly stopped the pointless quarrel. Macmillan spread out his hands, opened his mouth, and finally said nothing, and sat back obediently.

Yes, Walmart has rejected futuristic technology.

Walmart also operates its own e-commerce website, and the scale can be ranked among the top three in the United States, but half a year ago, they did not accept the concept of "VR + e-commerce" proposed by Future Technology. As for the simple reason, Walmart's advantages are manifold, it can connect its huge physical retail stores and online business, so as to provide customers with a full range of services for shopping, so there is no need to rely on VR as a platform at all.

No American would be unfamiliar with the items on Walmart's shelves.

In addition, if Walmart Supermarket appears in the virtual reality platform, it will definitely have a big impact on the sales of Walmart's physical stores.

And it turned out that this decision was wrong.

Whether they are willing to accept it or not, sales in Walmart's brick-and-mortar stores will be hit by RE. And the refusal to stay in RE has made their market share on the e-commerce platform a lot of it has also been divided by Amazon and eBay.

"We were already at a disadvantage against Amazon, and now we have been pushed to the bottom. It's not just Amazon, it's eBay that is trying to throw away from us. One of the directors shook his head and said.

"It's not too late to make amends. I'll go to New Zealand in person, and I'll ask my secretary to book my ticket for tomorrow in a moment. Macmillan said.

"Not too late? Even if we change our tune now and ask Future Technology to let us join RE, do you think we will be able to board the virtual reality platform immediately? Cathero, who had quarreled with him earlier, sneered, "It took more than half a year to scan 800,000 items, and we add them now, I don't know how many stores are still queuing up in front of us, maybe by this time next year, Walmart products can appear on the shelves of RE?" ”

It's impossible for others to put their partners aside and let you, a latecomer, cut the queue, right?

"I'll convince him." Macmillan said seriously.

"Hah"

Cathro was about to taunt him, but Mr. Walton, the chairman, did not give him a chance to speak and forcibly interrupted him.

"You don't need to book a ticket, my plane will lend you. Don't wait until tomorrow, you go today. ”

Holding his breath, Macmillan nodded earnestly.

"Yes!" -
