giants of the era

Chapter 330 Extremely hot!

Amazon's e-commerce site has been surprisingly popular since its new launch!
"Holy shit, everything on Amazon's e-commerce website is 3% off! CD-Walkman, Flamingo game console, Gameboy, MacBook Apple notebook, Nike shoes... oh my god, all of them are products I like! I Suddenly I feel like my blood is boiling, I want to buy them! 3% off, where can I find such a cheap thing!!!” A computer science student at Harvard University blushed with excitement.

A roommate wearing glasses reminded: "Apart from discounts, Amazon.com is still doing activities. If I am lucky, I will post it. If I happen to be the 10th user, Amazon.com will give me a MacBook worth $1200!!!”

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

"..."

Office white-collar workers and university students have become the main users of Amazon.com this time.

On December 12st, the day Amazon.com went live, the number of consumers reached 1, and the sales volume reached 1.23 million US dollars.Although this result cannot be compared with Wal-Mart Supermarket, it is much better than the previous results of Amazon.com!

Previously, because Amazon.com had a single product and only sold books, the best results in one day were less than $100 million.

This time, the new website has just been launched, and it has reached 800 million US dollars. This is undoubtedly a huge leap and a great success!

The next day, Amazon's website became even more popular.

More people got the news of the 4% discount on Amazon.com products. Some people don’t know how to surf the Internet, but they let people help them shop online. The sales volume exceeded 1000 million U.S. dollars that day!
"I didn't expect that the products on Amazon's website are so cheap. In the future, I will buy everything here. It's a pity that there are too few types of products." Someone sighed.

"Oh, it's a little less now. But think about it, Amazon used to be just a website selling bookstores, and now it sells so many things. In my opinion, Amazon.com will sell more things in the future!"

"Well, it does!"

"..."

As the week went by, Amazon.com got more and more attention, and many stores hated it.

"3% off? What does Amazon think? Don't want to make money?"

"Yeah, the Amazon website is definitely hurting others and not benefiting oneself. If the product is sold for 3% off, it will definitely lose money!"

"Oh, not necessarily. Others don't have the profit sharing of middlemen, and there is no expensive appearance fee. Maybe they can still make money with a 3% discount... Even if they lose money, they won't lose much."

"Who is Jeff Bezos? He stole our cheese!!"

"..."

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

"Have you heard of the Amazon e-commerce website? Since the new website was launched on December 12st, sales have increased significantly. In just two weeks, the sales have reached 1 million US dollars." An old man in his sixties frowned. .

A middle-aged man said disdainfully: "The two-week sales are only 1.5 million US dollars, what is it, 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, the sales will definitely not be too much." .I think it is necessary for our Wal-Mart supermarket to focus on e-commerce, and maybe we can try to build a Wal-Mart e-commerce website..."

The middle-aged man snorted coldly before, and said loudly: "It's just a joke, Wal-Mart is developing well, why do you want to build an e-commerce website?!" Saying this, the middle-aged man turned to look at the sixty-year-old man, " Mr. Walton, data is the truest response. Over the years, we have established supermarkets, expanded across the United States, and even the world, and even defeated Sears, a competitor that beat Wal-Mart, and achieved unprecedented results, ranking first in the US retail industry. In recent years, the sales of Wal-Mart supermarkets have continued to grow, creating a world record in the retail industry. At this time, some people say, let’s learn from Amazon to build e-commerce, isn’t it stupid?” After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man glared at the The young man glanced.

The old man's thinking is relatively traditional, and he can't accept things that are too advanced. What the middle-aged man said is even in line with his intentions.So, he smiled, nodded and said, "Well, it's well-founded and well said."

After the old man had spoken, the young man's expression turned ugly and he was very embarrassed, but the middle-aged man was naturally very proud.

The meeting ended quickly, and Wal-Mart ignored Amazon.It's just that they don't know what kind of behemoth Wal-Mart will face in the future, and by then, it will be too late! ! !
Just because Wal-Mart doesn't like Amazon.com's business model doesn't mean other companies don't either.

At first, when many bookstores saw that the Amazon bookstore had turned into an online bookstore, they couldn't help laughing hard, saying that selling books online is no wonder!But who knows, Amazon's e-commerce website has developed unexpectedly, and it has also developed impressively.Of course, they may not know that the company has not made any money, but is still burning money.

As a result, other online bookstores soon appeared online, competing with Amazon.com.

However, when the brand-new Amazon website was launched shockingly, the industry couldn't help being shocked, and those companies that opened online bookstores laughed bitterly.

"It's no wonder that Amazon has never called itself a bookstore. It turns out that people's ambitions are not here. What is a bookstore? Amazon wants to sell more products. Just like the Amazon rainforest in South America, there are 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..."

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

"Well, yes, now everyone can see that there is a powerful and terrifying person standing behind the Amazon website. This person is not Chronos Li, who else is it?!"

"..."

Beverly Hills.

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

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

"Ok!"
