Top of the Great Era

Kurian said: "This is true. The marketing strategies of the two parties are similar, and the group buying websites are both e-commerce companies. The attraction of Amazon Cloud will be much greater."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, Ziweiyun got a blessing in disguise. Later, the group buying trend collapsed, and Amazon Cloud also suffered heavy losses."

Kurian was a little silent, and said slowly: "It can't be said that, Amazon cloud has indeed lost a lot of profits in the wave of group buying. But they have provided cloud services to many group buying websites, accumulated The data and related operating experience have been improved and reinforced at many levels, further strengthening their advantages in the e-commerce field.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "This is really troublesome, the gap is getting bigger and bigger."

Kurian said: "Fortunately, Ziweiyun's development in the mainland area is good, and it can provide a certain supplement in this regard."

It is true that Ziwei Cloud cannot compete with Amazon Cloud in the field of overseas e-commerce.

But there are domestic ones!

Domestic Alibaba Cloud has just started, and its competitiveness is insufficient. When those domestic e-commerce companies choose cloud services, they will give priority to Ziwei Cloud.

Practice brings true knowledge.

In this way, Ziweiyun can take advantage of the domestic market, accumulate relevant experience in the field of e-commerce, and actively promote technological improvement and product upgrades.

Through domestic, to feed back to foreign countries.

This geographical advantage allows Ziweiyun to have a certain degree of protection in the weak areas of the overseas market, so that it will not fall behind too much.

Kurian went on to say: "Amazon Cloud can't fully enter the mainland, and Ziweiyun has almost no competitors there. So when the wave of group buying appeared, those group buying websites almost all chose to use Ziweiyun's services."

Zhou Buqi understood what he meant, "Unlike overseas markets, Ziweiyun lacks domestic competition, so it didn't launch a strategy of deferred payment. So when the group buying craze collapsed, Ziweiyun didn't suffer losses."

Kurian smiled and said, "That's true."

Now it's all said and done.

Cross-border e-commerce is a relatively new and important direction in the e-commerce industry. Especially this year, it is extremely prosperous. Many startups engaged in cross-border e-commerce have emerged in various countries.

In order to strengthen Ziweiyun's strength and to compete with Amazon Cloud, Kurian has been eyeing the e-commerce field for a long time, and wants to eat a piece of meat from Amazon Cloud!

However, he was worried.

The last wave of group buying was like a puff of smoke. It became popular all of a sudden and disappeared all of a sudden, causing huge losses to all related industries surrounding the group buying industry.

What if cross-border e-commerce is the same as the wave of group buying in previous years?
If Ziweiyun goes all out to attack cross-border e-commerce, after a few years the cross-border e-commerce industry will suffer a devastating blow, and Ziweiyun will also suffer huge losses as a result.

So Kurian's current attitude is to wait and see.

Don't move yet.

Look at the situation.

The current cross-border e-commerce is more chaotic than the group buying in the past, and it can be called fraud.There have even been several cases where the FBI has come forward, suspected of illegal fund transfers behind cross-border transactions and cross-border transfers.

Zhou Buqi didn't think so, "You can't see clearly, and neither can others. When you can see clearly, Amazon will also see clearly. When the two sides make a move at the same time, it will still be difficult for Ziweiyun to keep up in this field." Amazon cloud competition."

Kurian took a deep breath, "Do it now?"

Zhou Buqi said bluntly: "Do it! Don't hesitate!"

"it is good!"

Kurian also took this view decisively.

He was actually very happy.

He dare not make such a major decision. If he comes to make a decision and direct Ziweiyun to move towards the field of cross-border e-commerce in an all-round way, and enter the cloud service market in the field of e-commerce from the vertical field, it will be easy to say if it succeeds, but if it fails ...If you don't do it well, you will suffer huge losses as a result.

As the first responsible person, Kurian may be "impeached" internally.

Even if he keeps his job, it will be a stain on his resume.

Zhou Buqi is different.

He is the big boss.

Only he dares to make such high-risk decisions full of uncertainties, and only he dares to move towards an unknown field regardless of the cost.

The big boss has seen the cross-border e-commerce market and is actively promoting it... Then there is nothing to say, Kurian has been eyeing this field for a long time, and it is time to make a move.

Kurian said: "The main participants in cross-border e-commerce are small and medium-sized enterprises. Their products have few styles and the scale of their websites is relatively small. Many websites have only a few products on them."

Zhou Buqi had an in-depth understanding of this a long time ago, "It should be related to the scale, and the purchase volume of some products that are too unpopular is very low. This leads to too high channel costs. If cross-border e-commerce wants to operate, it must To deal with many intermediate costs such as customs, transportation, manpower, and warehousing, it must be a large order transaction."

Kurian said with a smile: "That's almost what it means. Many cross-border e-commerce websites select some hot-selling products. Therefore, the number of products is small. With fewer products, the difficulty of operation will be reduced. So for these cross-border e-commerce The website provides website building templates, which is actually not that difficult, and many start-up companies have already set their sights on this field.”

"Shopify?"

"Yes, Shopify should be the best company in this field. This is a Canadian company. The reason why it can do better than Silicon Valley companies is because this company was founded earlier, it seems to have started in 04. I have started a business. I have accumulated more experience and have a higher reputation in the industry.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Shopify chose to serve with Ziwei Cloud, and this is our greatest advantage."

Kurian said with a smile: "It's really not our initiative. Amazon sent Shopify over. After two years of cross-border e-commerce, although Amazon's actions are relatively slow and restrained, it still launched Amazon's The website building service of the e-commerce website has started to compete directly with Shopify. In this case, it is impossible for Shopify to go to Amazon cloud, and it can only rely on Ziwei cloud.”

In the previous life, under the trend of vigorous cross-border e-commerce, Shopify, as a service company providing website building templates, has also risen and become a favorite in the market.

After listing, the market value once reached 1000 billion US dollars!
Others are going to risk their lives to dig for gold.

I dug a gold mine, so I made a lot of money.

Shopify does not dig gold mines, but sells shovels to those gold diggers, because there are too many gold miners, and because they make a lot of money.

In order to promote the development of Amazon's cloud business, Amazon's e-commerce business has therefore retreated.

In order to unify the e-commerce industry in the field of cloud services, Amazon did not hesitate to give up its own "shovel selling" business and chose to cooperate with Shopify.

Amazon sent a lot of money to Shopify, and the two sides reached a strategic cooperation.

Then, Shopify entered the Amazon cloud.

Taking advantage of Shopify's voice and power in the field of cross-border e-commerce, Amazon Cloud has become the leader in the field of e-commerce cloud service SaaS.

As Zhou Buqi said before, cloud services are linked.

The customer chose to use Shopify's cloud service, and behind Shopify is Amazon Cloud, and Shopify is on the Amazon Cloud platform.Then when customers use more other cloud services, they will give priority to Amazon Cloud.

This strategic goal is achieved.

However, this world is different.

Zhou Buqi came out.

Since he has his eye on cross-border e-commerce, and Shopify is a well-deserved leader in this field... then I'm sorry, if Boss Zhou makes a move, it must be louder and rainier!
