Chapter 1439 Yang Ming values Bezos’ ability!
Bezos was shocked by the power of Young and Imperial.
Yang Ming is interested in Bezos' ability.
In his opinion, it was not easy to become the richest man in the world in his previous life, including the many elites he had met in his previous life.
In this era, these people are still the elite of this era.
It's just that some people are unfortunate enough to meet Yang Ming.
"What do you think of Xiangjiang?"
idea?
Bezos had never been to Xiangjiang before, so he naturally didn't know the changes and prosperity in Xiangjiang. He just thought that Xiangjiang was the world's third largest financial metropolis as advertised in newspapers.
However, these days, he found that it was not like that. The technology here was very powerful in all aspects, even not inferior to Silicon Valley.
It was precisely because of that that he was deeply shocked.
Bezos is not a Utai, but he also belongs to the traditional white elite of Country M.
It is precisely because of that that it was very rare for Bezos to become the richest man, elite, and technology giant of that era in Yang Ming's previous life. Because in Yang Ming's previous life, country M's finance, even technology, and the Internet were basically monopolized by Youtai.
"Sir Yang, Xiangjiang is far more prosperous than I imagined."
Yang Ming smiled.
In fact, Yang Ming knows that Xiangjiang is still too small. Even if it develops according to his plan, the population of Xiangjiang will reach 50 million in the future, which is about the same population as South Korea. Even then, the GDP will still far exceed that of South Korea. He feels that Xiangjiang’s advantage in the Internet is not great.
In fact, the future Internet market is mainly divided into three parts.
Part of it is domestic.
Historically, the domestic Internet has followed the development of the Internet in country M, so it can be regarded as the second largest Internet market in the world.
Now in this aspect in China, due to the emergence of Yang Ming and the Imperial Group, this aspect should develop better in the future.
Part of it is country M.
Country M's Internet advantage is very great in this regard. Yang Ming was like that in his previous life, and he is like that now.
Another part is the European market.
In Yang Ming's previous life, the European Internet market was basically monopolized by Internet companies in Country M.
Like Bezos' Amazon, every time it enters a European country, it immediately takes over that country's market.
As for Microsoft, Google Search, Facebook, etc., not to mention these, the Internet market in country M directly occupies the European market.
However, Yang Ming has already laid out the European Internet market.
At this point, he mainly considered the situation in country M.
"Hong Kong is still too small, even though it is the intersection of East and West. However, in terms of technology and the Internet, it does not have an advantage in the future."
This is due to population.
Just like South Korea and Dongyang, in fact, these two countries also have many talents in this field, especially Dongyang.
However, in Yang Ming's previous life, the Internet markets in South Korea and Dongyang were also monopolized by Internet companies in Country M. The Internet companies in these two countries had no advantage at all.
Bezos knows that Sir Yang is right and Xiangjiang does not have much advantage in this regard.
However, if Xiangjiang is used as a research and development center, it is still very good.
Just like ICQ, the instant messaging software company of Imperial Group.
This instant messaging software company is now the largest instant messaging company in the world.
Both Bezos and his wife have an ICQ number.
In addition, Bezos's visit to the Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park was what shocked him the most.
In the past few days, every time he thinks about it, Bezos feels that the Imperial Group is far more powerful than the outside world imagines.
"Mr. Bezos, I heard that you established an online bookstore?"
This online bookstore is the predecessor of Amazon.
Of course, it can also be said that when Yang Ming was the predecessor, Dangdang.com was also selling books online, and it was indeed imitating Amazon at the beginning.
However, later on, Dangdang.com gave people the impression that it was just selling books online. On the contrary, Amazon has become a global e-commerce giant.
Dangdang.com is simply not comparable to Amazon.
"Yes, Sir Yang."
Bezos began talking about his and his wife MacKenzie's idea of setting up an online bookstore.
"At that time, my wife and I listed more than 20 products, and then eliminated them one by one, reducing them to books and music products. Finally, we decided to sell books first. Books are particularly suitable for online display, and M country is a publishing country. It is a big country with 130 million kinds of books, but only 20 to 30 kinds of music products; the book distribution industry has a large market space, with annual sales of 2600 billion U.S. dollars, but the largest bookstore chain in M country has more than 1000 branches , which is also the world’s largest bookstore in terms of annual sales, only accounts for 12%.”
People in M country like to analyze data very much.
The same goes for the Bezoses. After market research and analysis, they discovered that selling books online is very promising.
Physical bookstores have actually existed for many years.
However, the number of books in these bookstores is limited, and you even have to go to the bookstore in person to select them.
However, if it can be displayed on the Internet and people can open the website to choose anytime and anywhere, in his opinion, it can save customers a lot of energy.
I have to say that the Bezoses have a good idea. They have really found a golden idea.
Of course, selling books online is just an ordinary commodity in e-commerce.
Because selling things online can actually include anything, including thousands of items.
Later, Amazon developed into a global e-commerce giant. At that time, selling books online could only be regarded as an ordinary product within Amazon.
Because in addition to this, a large number of clothing, electrical appliances, and even car accessories, etc., will soon be available for purchase online.
However, the Bezoses definitely started from the very beginning, accumulated the first pot of gold, and even after raising funds, they could gradually become bigger and stronger.
As for why they finally selected books from more than 20 kinds of products, they also considered that selling books online has advantages over physical stores.
However, selling books online was not that easy at first.
Because e-commerce involves malls, consumers, products, and logistics from the beginning.
Now the Bezos couple's online bookstore is just an ordinary shopping mall, and the products are books. As for logistics, Bezos also needs to cooperate with local express companies.
Of course, this requires a lot of funds. It is precisely because of that that he wants to use the plan to raise funds, strive for more financing, develop this online bookstore, and then expand it through listing financing. The size of this company.
Now Bezos has got some clues about e-commerce, but not much. It can be said that he is exploring as he develops.
However, Yang Ming is different. His predecessor had very deep research on e-commerce, including Amazon, eBay, and even Dibao and Jingdong.
If it weren't for Bezos' ability, he really wouldn't have asked Bezos to come here to see him in person.
