Chapter 1527: Persecution
Gossip.com, in mid-April this year, pushed an important update.
In addition to some optimization improvements on the website, a major change has been added to allow ordinary verified users to open their own personal online store directly on the website.
In this day and age, "e-commerce" is a very novel term, because there is no other shopping site in the world other than Gossip that offers a similar service to the average Internet user.
After more than half a year of development, this feature has now attracted more than 160,000 users, allowing them to successfully become a trend-setting online merchant selling a variety of products and C2C business in the Gossip shopping network, which has broken into a certain popularity.
Because smartphones have not yet appeared, Gossip cooperates with major communication operators in North America, as long as the seller binds the mobile phone account, whenever a customer places an order, it will automatically trigger a certain program to notify the seller in the form of SMS, so that they can process the order in time, which is a stupid way to do nothing.
This does make the sellers' delivery efficiency improve a lot, and they can also know the dynamics of their "online stores" in time.
Many people have made money because of online sales, coupled with the use of o, Destiny and other network channels to push news and advertising, now both the number of sellers and buyers, are growing wildly, messy sales or anything, people have found the advantages of online shopping malls, such as large customer groups, can reduce costs and so on.
In the future, this aspect of business is not popular in the United States, and only Huaxia's Alibaba has succeeded, but today's Internet industry has just started, like a piece of paper, Han Xuan can draw on it as much as he wants, and pass his own ideas to the minds of netizens, and they will accept this new model under the subtle influence and become a matter of course.
This is the horror of today's Internet oligarchs, who can easily make new rules that suit their own interests and let those who come after them abide by them.
For example, Microsoft's indos desktop operating system, which has a management function called "My Computer", but the Be-OS desktop operating system does not, which makes many people unaccustomed to Be-OS, which is destined to become the choice of niche consumers......
The goods mailed by the seller are sent to the SOS convenience store designated by the buyer through the logistics network of SOS transportation company, which is gradually spread all over the world, so that the user can pick it up by himself, and the freight cost is relatively high, so few people buy worthless small things on the Internet, which is not cost-effective at all.
In addition, today's online shopping is also missing the door-to-door link, which greatly reduces the cost of freight, in Western countries where human resources are expensive, it is unrealistic to hire thousands of couriers, and today's market size cannot support this aspect of the business.
Gossip's dropshipping business, similar to Amazon in the future, has users setting up their own virtual stores under a separate website called hallelujah.
Derived from the Hebrew word, which means to praise Jehovah, I chose it as a substitute for the sake of it, and has no other meaning, and the company name is easy to read and good for branding.
The most typical example is Rolex, the reason why it gave the name "Rolex" is also because of the smoothness, connotation or something, all after the success of the brand, people pulled out nonsense.
Consumers generally enter it through the link of the Gossip website, and in people's opinion, the two are one, according to Han Xuan's plan, "Hallelujah" will definitely be separated in the future, because the two sides of the business are in conflict with each other.
All of Gossip's products are purchased directly from various suppliers and then sold, just like an "online supermarket", while Hallelujah uses a customer-to-customer, also known as the C2C model, which is very different.
But these two departments, both exist under the Gossip company, due to the use of the same freight channels, payment channels, it is too troublesome to divide, in addition, the NASDAQ stock exchange stipulates that it must operate for three years before it can be listed, Han Xuan also intends to take advantage of the Internet bubble to make a profit, so from the Gossip that has been listed.
Nowadays, the payment method for shopping on both websites is paid through the newly developed "AOA" payment software, which is independent of PayPal and is somewhat related.
This is full of Han Xuan's ambitions, and he plans to build an American version of "Alibaba and Alipay" to obtain a large amount of liquid cash and use this cash money to make money......
Olivia is referring to the use of Hallelujah to sell goods from the Scottish area near the university, including blankets, clothes, handmade bagpipes, etc., and the most popular is the hand-knitted Fair Isle sweater, the island that has been making wool since 1,800 years ago, and even Chanel wants to buy the company.
The online sales rights of her products are now in Olivia's hands, and they are also the most profitable products in her online store.
The price is not high when it is purchased, but because each pattern is unique and sold on the Internet, the price is not cheap, she is quite business-minded, otherwise she would not choose to study finance and management......
At least that's what Han Xuan thought.
In fact, Olivia was very grateful that Han announced that he had changed his destiny and hoped that he could help him do something, so he chose this major that he didn't like or hate.
In her opinion, this is the only way to help him, and the starting point is purely out of gratitude, Olivia treats Han Xuan as a child.
Once, she was just a skinny little girl who couldn't speak, and she had two words written from head to toe: poor and miserable.
The problem of the vocal cords had long been cured with the help of Han Xuan, and the two chatted happily, mostly Olivia said, and Han Xuan listened.
At this moment, I heard Han Xuan ask himself why he came to the Royal Academy of Arts, and continued to answer: "Last week at Starbucks, I happened to see Miss Dolores sketching.
So I went to say hello to her, and I talked about you, and then she asked me to be her model, and I said yes.
Now I am living at Miss Dolores's house, and it has been almost a week, and my work is over, and I have come to pay me to-day, a thousand pounds a day, and six thousand in all. ”
Han Xuan's expression was stunned after hearing this, ordinary models can't get so much money, plus Anya has been practicing drawing human bodies recently, a bold guess suddenly came to his mind.
His eyes suddenly became strange, and he asked Anya, "Mannequins?" ”
Knowing that her boyfriend was a little prejudiced against this art form, Anya rolled her eyes at him and said, "Yes, but it's not completely naked, with a piece of white silk tied around her waist."
I think she's a good fit to be a model, and the side face is very sensitive, and I took a picture. ”
This is obviously teasing Han Xuan.
He felt that it didn't matter, Olivia, who was a nude model for others for the first time, became shy first, and really wanted to cover Anya's mouth to prevent her from continuing to speak, but even this was useless, and the oil painting would eventually be made public.
Speaking of shyness, in fact, it's just a little bit, Western girls don't care too much about this, although Olivia is a little conservative because of her Catholicism, which is acceptable, otherwise she wouldn't have agreed to Anya at that time.
Pinching Anya's face, Han Xuan asked Fat Ding, who had run away, to come back with Pooh, and continued: "Let's go, go to my grandfather, and go back to the United States in the evening."
Want to hitchhike?
Olivia, your school is out for the holidays, isn't it......"
