Top of the big era

Kurian said: "That's true. The marketing strategies of both parties are similar, and Group Buying Network is an e-commerce company, so the appeal of Amazon Cloud will be much greater."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Unexpectedly, Ziweiyun was a blessing in disguise. Later, the group buying trend collapsed, and Amazon Cloud suffered heavy losses as a result."

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

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

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

Ziwei Cloud is indeed unable to compete with Amazon Cloud in the overseas e-commerce field.

But there is it in China!

Domestic Alibaba Cloud has just started and is not competitive enough. Domestic e-commerce companies will give priority to Ziwei Cloud when choosing cloud services.

Practice brings true knowledge.

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

Through the country, we will feed back abroad.

This geographical advantage gives Ziweiyun a certain guarantee in the weak areas of overseas markets, so that it will not fall behind too far.

Kurian continued: "Amazon Cloud cannot fully enter the mainland, and Ziweiyun has almost no competitors there. So when the group buying trend emerged, almost all of those group buying websites chose to use Ziweiyun's services."

Zhou Buqi understood what he meant, "Unlike overseas markets, Ziweiyun lacked competition in the country, so it did not launch a deferred payment strategy. Therefore, when the group buying trend collapsed, Ziweiyun did not 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 particularly prosperous. Many start-up companies engaged in cross-border e-commerce have emerged in various countries.

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

However, he was worried.

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

What if cross-border e-commerce is like the group buying trend in previous years?

If Ziweiyun goes all out and starts with cross-border e-commerce, in 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 chaos in today's cross-border e-commerce is even more serious than that of group buying back then, and it can be said to be full of fraud. There are even several cases where the FBI has come forward, suspected of illegal fund transfers behind cross-border transactions and cross-border transfers.

Zhou Buqi doesn’t think so, “If you can’t see clearly, others can’t see clearly either. When you see clearly, Amazon will also see clearly. When both parties take action at the same time, it will still be difficult for Ziweiyun to follow in this field. Amazon Cloud Competition.”

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

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

"good!"

Kurian also decisively accepted this view.

He was actually very happy.

He would not dare to make such a major decision. If he were to make the final decision and instruct Ziweiyun to fully move into the field of cross-border e-commerce and enter the cloud service market in the e-commerce field from the vertical field, it would be easy to say if it succeeded, but if it failed, ...Maybe you will suffer huge losses as a result.

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

Even if he retains his position, this 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 uncertainty, and only he dares to move forward into an unknown territory regardless of the cost.

The big boss has seen the cross-border e-commerce market and is actively promoting it... Needless to say, Kurian has long been eyeing this field, and it's time to take action.

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

Zhou Buqi has already had an in-depth understanding of this, "It should be related to scale. Some products that are too unpopular have very low purchasing volume. This leads to 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 smiled and said: "That's more or less the meaning. Many cross-border e-commerce websites select some hot-selling products. Therefore, the number of products is very small. With fewer products, the difficulty of operation will also be reduced. Therefore, for these cross-border e-commerce websites The website provides website building templates, which is not difficult, and many start-up companies have already focused on this field."

"Shopify?"

"Yes, Shopify should be the best company in this field currently. This is a Canadian company. The reason why it does better than companies in Silicon Valley is because this company was founded earlier, it seems to have started in 2004. I started my own business. I have accumulated more experience and am more well-known in the industry.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Shopify chose to serve with Ziwei Cloud. This is our biggest advantage."

Kurian smiled and said: "This is really not our initiative. It was Amazon that sent Shopify here. After the cross-border e-commerce started in the past two years, although Amazon has been slower and more restrained, it still launched Amazon's The website building services of e-commerce websites are competing head-on with Shopify. In this case, Shopify will no longer be able to go to Amazon Cloud, and will have no choice but to rely on Ziwei Cloud."

In the past life, Shopify, as a service company that provided website building templates, also became popular in the market under the vigorous cross-border e-commerce trend.

After listing, the market value once reached 100 billion US dollars!

Others risk their lives to dig for gold.

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

Shopify does not dig for gold, but sells shovels to those who are seeking gold, because there are too many gold seekers and because it makes a lot of money.

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

In order to unify the e-commerce industry in the field of cloud services, Amazon gave up its own "shovel selling" business and chose to cooperate with Shopify.

Amazon gave Shopify a large sum of money, and the two parties reached a strategic cooperation.

Then, Shopify entered the Amazon cloud.

Amazon Cloud has leveraged Shopify's voice and power in the field of cross-border e-commerce to become the leading overlord in the field of e-commerce cloud services SaaS.

As Zhou Buqi said before, cloud services are interconnected.

The customer chose to use Shopify's cloud service, and Shopify is backed by 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 purpose has been achieved.

However, this life is different.

Zhou Buqi came out.

Since he is eyeing cross-border e-commerce, and Shopify is a well-deserved leader in this field... I'm sorry, if Boss Zhou takes action, it will definitely be louder and rainier!
