Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

"Death by accident? Impossible, right?" Kishida Mie covered her mouth and exclaimed.

"You still overestimate the bottom line of Western politicians! For so many years, the story of the "Black Alliance" has always existed in this country that advertises as a beacon of "freedom and democracy", but why do all mainstream media choose to Sexual blindness? Because they all know that "freedom and democracy" are just the emperor's new clothes, a gorgeous dress that does not exist at all. Do you think the Congress, the House of Representatives, and the opposition parties will know about such a big thing?" Yang Mo Said disdainfully.

"Then what should we do? Are we just going to give in?" Li Heping asked unwillingly.

Yang Mo smiled bitterly: "Faced with the world's largest gang of gangsters and the iron fist of the state apparatus, not giving in will only push Gary Webb into a more dangerous situation!"

"Then let him leave San Siro Mercury temporarily? Come back after the situation calms down?" Kishida Mie asked tentatively.

Yang Mo said in a deep voice: "How can there be peace when you are on the CIA blacklist? Gary Webber is a born fighter! He will never give up his mission and responsibility as a journalist no matter where he is. I am still worried about him staying in the United States. There will be danger for life..."

Kishida Mie's expression dimmed, and she sighed: "You can't be tough, and you can't give in. You can't run away just because you wrote a report, right?"

Yang Mo nodded and said: "This is a good idea! Isn't the Tokyo Daily Economic Express short of a chief editor of the Social News Department..."

Kishida Mie nodded: "I'm going to talk to him right now, tell him his current situation, and try to persuade him to leave the United States!"

Yang Mo waved his hand to stop and said: "No matter how this matter is handled, it will affect the reputation of Qianhai Media Group. You'd better not go into this muddy water and let Perez handle it. Just tell him the stakes and the recommendations of the group's board of directors... …”

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

Perez, with the instruction of the board of directors, persuaded Gary Webber to write a resignation letter, and the San Siro Mercury also published an apology statement in an inconspicuous page. A few days later, Gary Webber boarded a flight to Tokyo frustrated. !

This is a jungle world where the weak eat the strong. The so-called freedom of speech must revolve around the values ​​​​exported by the Western world. Yang Mo seems to have seen the tragic scene of Gary Webb, who refused to surrender, who was shot in the face and committed suicide in his own home a few years later.

1996, April 9.

On the 30th day after the launch of Amazon's all-category online shopping platform, the number of users exceeded 2200 million, and the turnover exceeded US$35 billion.

The San Siro Mercury's soft article went online again, with an eye-catching and exaggerated headline: Amazon surpassed century-old store Sears in just one month.

"At midnight on September 9, Amazon's full-category online shopping platform was launched for one month, and its turnover incredibly exceeded 8 billion US dollars! In one fell swoop, it surpassed Sears, the originator of the retail industry with a century-old history..."

"35 billion! This number may be a bit abstract. Let's look at a set of data and we may have a clear understanding of the turnover of 35 billion US dollars. Throughout August, the turnover of Sears' global chain stores was 26.4 billion. Global retail sales Walmart, the industry leader, has a turnover of 79.6 billion..."

"Wal-Mart's latest ranking among the Global 500 is No. 11, with more than 1700 stores worldwide and a total of nearly 35 employees. It took Amazon a month to go through half a century of business giants such as Wal-Mart and Sears. !”

“The magic of Wal-Mart is that it has created a win-win business model for all three parties: consumers can get cheap and high-quality goods without leaving home, and manufacturers can eliminate the need for middlemen, agents and sellers who make the difference. No need to pay expensive rent!”

“In this era where channels are king, Amazon uses its e-commerce platform to break down the last commercial barrier between manufacturers and consumers. With just a click of the mouse, cocktails produced in California may appear on the East Coast in three days. At the dining table of ordinary families, we don’t even need to line up at the Chicago Bulls home court to buy a No. 23 jersey signed by Michael Jordan!”

"This is my sixth online shopping within a month. To be honest, I'm a little obsessed with Amazon's official language. Every time I take a photo of an item, the page will pop up with the sentence: Dear, the treasure you took (dear, thebabyyouphotographed), it seems that I haven’t heard such warm and delicate official language for a long time, considerate service, perfect shopping experience, genius business creativity... This may be why I became obsessed with online shopping in a short period of time. Reason?"

"Mr. Yang, we won the first battle! Should we speed up our overseas expansion next?" Qian Ning asked happily.

Yang Mo nodded and said: "While there are no strong competitors to compete with us for the time being, we can quickly enclose the territory and occupy the European and North American markets. The top priority is to establish transit warehouses in major European central cities and fully roll out the express delivery network... …”

"What about Asia? I think the Asian market is bigger, especially the Chinese and Japanese markets. I heard Mr. Luo say that Wal-Mart has entered the Chinese mainland market. On the day they opened their two stores in Honghu in the eastern suburbs of Pengcheng and Xiangmihu in the western suburbs , there was a huge crowd, and later I had to control the flow of people entering the store..." Qian Ning said with some envy.

Yang Mo pondered for a moment and then said: "Of course we want to delve deeply into the Asian market, but the time is not yet ripe! There are still too few Internet users in mainland China, and computers costing tens of thousands of yuan are still unaffordable for ordinary working-class families. Luxury goods, let’s do this! I’ll give you one year to complete the European market layout, and one year later, enter the Chinese mainland market!”

"Wait a minute..." Qian Ning agreed, turned around and was about to leave, but was called back by Yang Mo.

"What's wrong? Do you have any other orders?"

After thinking for a long time, Yang Mo told him: "Amazon's branches in Europe are all operated independently, and the headquarters should be located in countries that are friendly to China, such as Serbia, Greece, Russia, Belarus, Hungary, Romania, etc. The salary of state employees is also relatively low..."

"Ah? I am also planning to place the European Central Warehouse in Munich. Not only is this the headquarters of Zhiyuan International, but the logistics are also relatively developed..." Qian Ning said in confusion.

Yang Mo shook his head: "There is no problem if the European central warehouse is placed in Munich or Hamburg, but data storage, technology research and development, overall guidance, and procurement teams should be placed in countries that are more friendly to China. In Germany, whether it is the technical team or the management team, the salary The costs are the highest in Europe, and coupled with uncontrollable political factors, it is not suitable for Amazon’s headquarters!”
