Rebirth of the American Tyrant

"Ahem, let me interrupt. Host, your description just now is really wrong. Amazon and Minecraft are not essentially e-commerce."

"Oh, so, Mr. White, you can describe to us, in your mind, what is e-commerce." The beautiful host was a little surprised, and the morning forum was messed up by this guy. It's nothing to be alarmist from beginning to end, this is the deliberate arrangement of the organizer.

However, his opponent's combat power was really too scumbag, and in the end, the group of guys almost squatted on the ground.

"Yes, let's talk about Amazon and World Mall first. In essence, these two are actually online stores, which are the same as Wal-Mart.

The difference is that our two stores are open on the Internet.

In fact, there is no big difference. Wal-Mart has a tally, a buyer who is responsible for purchasing, and a department responsible for logistics. As for the advertising department of the marketing department, the difference is even more minimal. "

"This statement of yours is indeed very fresh." The beautiful host was a little bit angry, but Yang Zhiyuan and Jeff Bezos next to him did not raise objections, which proves that these two Internet giants also agree with this statement. .

In fact, Jeff Bezos agrees. His initial idea was to set up an online bookstore. If you have to pull this stuff into e-commerce, he won't be able to accept it.

But now it's embarrassing!

As a major theme of this forum, if even the concept is mistaken, it would be too bullshit.

Regardless of whether these people are embarrassed or not, William White continued: “We don’t actually need to talk about e-commerce now, because we don’t have this condition now, and I can’t describe what e-commerce is. Let’s say that we need to have it. conditions of."

As soon as William White's voice fell, there was another uproar in the audience. Damn it, this guy is here to hit the scene. Nima, this is fun.

"Suppose I am a mobile phone manufacturer in the country of Rabbit. On a platform on the Internet, I found that a US company placed an order for 5 million mobile phones.

However, the guy who placed the order was very lazy. He only gave a retail price of $99.

Ever since, this company first needs to find a company that is good at design to help design. Then, according to this design, he can release the purchasing information of the parts. When he gets all this, he can negotiate with the guy who publishes and orders.

Now the problem is coming. The American manufacturers who released the information are very satisfied with this design. Unfortunately, if the shipment price of the mobile phone is less than $105, the manufacturer will not be profitable.

Ever since, this American company has found a telecom company to cooperate with. Well, this phone is very good. Can you make a supplement? We will produce it jointly.

It doesn't matter what the ending of this story is. What I want to tell you is that if you want to do all this, you first need an ERP platform, and then a third-party guarantee platform. Among them, all aspects of cooperation among insurance, shipping, customs, and banks are also needed.

In the end, if the transaction is completed, either through e-commerce or through Wal-Mart, this will be the next link.

As for what you just said, it's not called e-commerce, you just don't need a fax machine, you use email instead. Indeed, this can be regarded as a technological advancement, but I want to say that this has been achieved many years ago, and there is really no need for us to discuss it! "

The beauty host is very depressed. She is now completely stupefied. There is nothing in her eyes except for some small stars.

Don't talk about this, the other two guests were also shocked. Fuck, what you said, how do I feel like I'm telling a fantasy story!

However, it seems not impossible.

They don't really care about being robbed of the limelight by this guy. When William White became famous, they were just getting started. Needless to say, even these words have already benefited them a lot.

What matters if the goal is far away, if it can be realized one day.

Greenspan took off his glasses, and he found a problem. What he said a few years ago was indeed taken for granted. Rubbing his eye sockets desperately, he found that Buffett next door was also dull.

Uh, it turns out that it's not that I am stupid, but that the world is changing too fast. The scene described by William White seems to be realizable!

Needless to say, if you can really do all this, how efficient and fast it is. In this way, it is really possible for the world to become a plane.

After a moment of silence in the audience, there was sudden applause.

Yes, compared to the rhetoric, what William White described is simple, but everyone knows how big the gap is.

Yes, you talked about it for a long time before, it was nothing more than a contact method. In the past, I used a fixed phone to fax, but now I use a mobile phone and e-mail. If this thing is e-commerce, it is too simple.

The goal is lofty and fearless, as long as there is a direction to work hard, there is always the possibility of achieving all this.

Looking at the excited crowd in the audience, William White's heart was lying. Don't worry about it, if it can happen one day, it will first be in the big rabbit country.

Internet payment has already been done, and mobile payment in the future will definitely be another disaster.

First of all, the American people do not have much cash. More than 80% of people can't come up with 20,000 US dollars to help. This is the status quo.

In this case, prepayment must not work.

So, how about your credit payment model?

The answer is still no good. There are so many large and small banks. If one or several banks take over this business, other banks may go bankrupt. Credit cards have become the main source of profits for many banks, and it is impossible to accept changes.

As for e-commerce, what restricts their development is actually the level of logistics. There are tens of billions of packages a year, which is an unimaginable disaster.

"Is it possible? Warren."

Buffett shook his head, he didn't know what to say. It should be difficult, but if you really did this step, how many people should be unemployed! At the very least, fewer people need to fly around for business negotiations.

"I don't know if it's okay, it's true that it ruined this forum anyway. If it comes true, it will ruin a lot of people's jobs." Buffett shook his head and said, "As he said, it was not achieved in the short term Possibly. However, even if part of it is realized, many people will be eager for it."

Greenspan was silent, but William White also understood the difficulty. Therefore, he is only operating an e-commerce company, first solving the needs of end users, and then pushing backwards.

Yes, when he has a large user group, he can naturally force production companies. With low-cost and high-quality products, those end users can be firmly locked in.

Well, this guy obviously thinks too much. Just an anti-monopoly law is a problem that cannot be circumvented. Why is Wal-Mart in the countryside? Do they have no money to buy land?

If a nearby 24-hour convenience store closes because of your opening, then there is no doubt that your behavior is unfair competition. Either lose money or close the store, you choose.
