Giant of the times

After the new Amazon e-commerce website was launched, it became unexpectedly popular!

"Holy shit, everything on Amazon's e-commerce website is only 30% off! CD-Walkman, Flamingo game console, Gameboy, MacBook, Nike shoes... Oh, my God, they are all my favorite products! I Suddenly I feel my blood is boiling, I want to buy them! 30% off, where can I find such cheap things!!!" A computer science student at Harvard University flushed with excitement.

A roommate wearing glasses reminded: “In addition to discounts, Amazon.com is also offering promotions. If you’re lucky, if I happen to be the 100,000th user, Amazon.com will give me a MacBook valued at 100,000 yuan. It’s $1,200!!!”

"Haha, you are so unlucky, how can you still have such luck?"

"..."

Office white-collar workers and college students have become the main users of Amazon's website this time.

On December 1, the day the Amazon website was launched, the number of consumers reached 12,300, and sales reached US$8 million. Although this result cannot be compared with Wal-Mart Supermarket, but compared with the previous results of Amazon.com, it is simply much better!

Previously, because Amazon’s website only sold books, its best product in one day was less than $1 million.

This time, the brand new website has just been launched, and it has reached 8 million US dollars. This is undoubtedly a huge leap and a great success!

The next day, Amazon.com became even more popular.

More people learned about the 40% off products on Amazon.com. Some people didn’t know how to surf the Internet, but they asked people to help them shop online. The sales that day exceeded 10 million US dollars!

"I didn't expect that the products on Amazon's website are so cheap. I will always come here to buy things in the future. Unfortunately, there are too few product types." Someone sighed.

"Oh, it's a bit less now. But think about it, Amazon was just a website selling bookstores before, but now it sells so many things. In my opinion, Amazon.com will sell more things in the future!"

"Well, indeed!"

"..."

As the week goes by, more and more people are paying attention to Amazon's website, and many stores hate it.

"30% off? What do Amazon.com think? Don't you want to make money?"

"Yes, the Amazon website is definitely hurting others and not benefiting oneself. Products are sold at 30% off, which is definitely a loss!"

"Oh, not necessarily. Others don't have middlemen to share the profits, and there are no expensive appearance fees. You may still make money with a 30% discount... Even if you lose money, you won't lose much."

“Who is this Jeff Bezos? He stole our cheese!!”

"..."

At this moment, Wal-Mart Supermarket, the company's headquarters.

"Has everyone heard of the Amazon e-commerce website? Since the launch of the new website on December 1, sales have increased significantly. In just two weeks, sales have actually reached 150 million U.S. dollars." An old man in his 60s frowned. .

A middle-aged man said disdainfully: "The sales volume in two weeks is only 150 million US dollars. What the heck, our Wal-Mart supermarket can surpass it in just one day!!!"

At this time, a young man said: "You can't say that. The Amazon website was only established at the beginning of this year. It is already very good to have such good results. Limited by the current number of Internet users, sales will definitely not be too much. . I think it is necessary for our Wal-Mart supermarket to focus on understanding a little bit about e-commerce, and maybe try to build a Wal-Mart e-commerce website..."

The middle-aged man before snorted coldly and said loudly: "It's just a joke. Wal-Mart Supermarket is developing well, why do you want to build an e-commerce website?!!" As he said, the middle-aged man turned to look at the old man in his 60s, " Mr. Walton, data is the truest response. Over the years, we have built supermarkets, expanded across the United States, and even the world. We even defeated Sears, the competitor that defeated Wal-Mart, and achieved unprecedented results, ranking first in the U.S. retail industry. ! Over the years, the sales of Wal-Mart supermarkets have continued to grow, setting world records in the retail industry. At this time, someone said, wouldn’t it be stupid for us to learn from Amazon in establishing e-commerce?” After saying that, the middle-aged man glared at the man. A glance at the young man.

The old man's thinking is relatively traditional and he cannot accept things that are too advanced. What the middle-aged man said was very consistent with his thoughts. So, he smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, it's reasonable and well-founded."

The old man had spoken, and the young man suddenly looked ugly and embarrassed, while the middle-aged man was naturally very proud.

The meeting ended quickly, and Walmart didn't take Amazon seriously. It's just that they don't know what kind of behemoth Wal-Mart will face in the future. By then, it will be too late! ! !

Just because Wal-Mart doesn't like Amazon.com's business model doesn't mean that other companies don't like it either.

At first, when many bookstores saw that Amazon Bookstore had turned into an online bookstore, they couldn't help but laugh at it, saying that it was strange that books could be sold online! But who would have expected that the Amazon e-commerce website has actually developed, and it is developing vigorously. Of course, they may not know that the company has not made a penny, but is still burning money.

As a result, other online bookstores soon appeared on the Internet to compete with Amazon.com.

However, when the new Amazon website came online, the industry couldn't help but be shocked, and those companies that opened online bookstores even smiled bitterly.

"No wonder Amazon has never called itself a bookstore. It turns out that this is not their ambition. What is a bookstore? Amazon wants to sell more products, just like the Amazon rainforest in South America, with thousands of animals and plants!"

"That's true. It's a pity that we have all become stepping stones! Nowadays, no one will come to our website to buy books. They only know Amazon..."

"Transformation? Everyone is a bookstore, and Amazon has so many unique advantages!"

"Well, yes, everyone can see now that behind the Amazon website stands a powerful and terrifying person. If this person is not Chronos Li, who else could it be?!"

"..."

Beverly Hills.

Li Zetian smiled and said: "Amazon.com became popular during this Christmas shopping period. It actually promoted the development of the Internet and led to a surge in the number of Internet users. I never expected it!!!" After speaking, Li Zetian stood in front of the window and stared into the distance. Snow falling everywhere.

"Yuqin, tell Jeff Bezos that the development of Amazon.com cannot be slacked off. After people see how popular Amazon.com is, it won't be long before e-commerce will spring up everywhere. In the future, we will face More and more severe challenges!!!”

"OK!"
