Chapter 1126: Amazon's Development Plan
After Fusang's company, there are various companies in the United States, but the companies in the United States and the Fusang Company are directly controlled by Daqian, and there are not many companies in the United States that are directly controlled by Daqian, and most of the others are controlled by the United States Priority Foundation, and these companies don't know that their big boss is Jia Yapeng, so naturally they will not come to report their work.
However, Harry Potter still came secretly, and then gave Boss Jia a report, so far, the Mi Country Priority Foundation has controlled 80% of Qualcomm's shares, Apple's 76% shares, Marvel's 92% shares, eBay's 65% shares, AMD's 26% shares, Nvidia's 80% shares, Yahoo's 14% shares, Disney's 8% shares, Microsoft's 5% shares, and in addition, there are some fractional company shares.
However, it can be seen from these shares that some companies are absolutely controlled, and some companies are just holding shares.
In terms of the total market value of the shares of the companies controlled, the Priority Foundation of the United States is also one of the top 30 large-scale foundations in the United States. The market value of the stocks in his hands, combined, is also more than 20 billion US dollars.
Well, the market value of these stocks, that's basically doubled, and when I first bought it, it was just over $10 billion. Therefore, the financial market is indeed very attractive, and Boss Jia's hard work does not earn more than $10 billion a year, and it will be directly doubled if he tosses it in the stock market.
And not only the shares bought by Boss Jia have appreciated, but Daqian's own company is also about to be listed in the United States.
First of all, 51 Search has been scheduled to ring the bell on the Nasdaq on February 21 after completing various preliminary preparations. When Xiao Huang came to meet our boss Jia, he was a little excited and said that he would be satisfied with a total market value of $1 billion after joining the listing.
In this regard, Boss Jia just smiled, in fact, Boss Jia didn't know how much money 51 Search had after it was listed.
Although Google's market value soared to $24 billion after it went public, the problem is that it was listed in 2004, and there are still seven years left behind.
After Huang left with a dream of $1 billion, Amazon's Bezos also arrived, and after receiving the full support of Harry Potter, Amazon developed much faster than in history, and began to cooperate with all the publishing houses around the world.
The publishing house is also very interested in Amazon, after all, Amazon claims to be able to trade directly with customers, and can avoid the middleman of the bookstore to make the difference, Amazon only charges half of the cost of the bookstore, plus the sales of Harry Potter on the Internet, so Amazon easily reached a cooperative relationship with various publishing houses around the world, and put these books on their own network for sale.
And the people of the United States are indeed willing to buy books on the Internet, and even people all over the world are willing to do so, because in the world, books are the publications with the lowest import and export tariffs.
At the same time, books are also the lowest postage among all postal agencies, many countries have preferential policies for mailing books, because mailing to buy books, that is for learning, learning is a good thing for a strong national quality, so these are supported by policies, in the United States, the cost of mailing a book, only equivalent to about one-third of the same weight of other items, the cost of mailing is very low, a book is probably only about 5 US dollars postage is enough!
That's why Bezos chose books to start, otherwise you think Bezos really likes to read!
Amazon's book business has become the world's largest online book market, and Amazon's development has slowed down a little, and at the same time, it has seen bottlenecks.
After all, the book market is so big, and there are so many people around the world who like to buy books, and the ceiling is too low.
And Bezos is obviously not a person who can slow down, he came here this time not so much to report work, but to ask Boss Jia for power and money.
Bezos brought a total of two plans, one is a listing plan, and the other is a comprehensive expansion of online e-commerce, expanding Amazon's business, and the items that will be sold will be expanded from books to clothes, shoes and hats and other brand products, and even a variety of luxury goods.
I have to admit that Bezos's idea is very correct, because these categories are indeed the most suitable products for Amazon at the moment. At this time, in the United States, the biggest trouble hindering online shopping is not the share of the network, but the problem of mail.
The postal system in the United States is notoriously expensive, and it starts at $2 to deliver a letter, and $5 for a book that itself subsidizes only one-third of the price.
So if you mail something about the same size as a book, will it cost $15?
If it's just an everyday item, $15 can buy several times as much in the supermarket, so why bother to buy it online.
Therefore, it is suitable to be sold on the Internet, only those expensive things, such as various brands of clothing, and even directly luxury goods, the price of these things is more than a few hundred dollars, such a price, with a postage of 20 dollars, is not too eye-catching.
On the other hand, if you buy me $5 worth of goods, but you take $20 postage, you will definitely not do it, and you will lose a lot.
But a $200 commodity with a $20 commodity doesn't seem to be that much of a loss.
If it's $2,000, what is $20 postage?
Therefore, Bezos is very clever to put these relatively expensive goods on the shelves, so that the problem of postage can be solved in disguise. And because it is an online platform, the price will naturally be cheaper than offline stores.
What, what do you ask Bezos can get cheap goods, these expensive brand clothes, shouldn't they go through a special channel? Moreover, these luxury brands basically have special stores, and it is impossible to sell them on the Internet.
In addition, today's online shopping is not like the future generations, which are naturally inferior to the offline level by Taobao's low-price strategy, and luxury brands will not open stores online.
Nowadays, online shopping is the most fashionable thing in the world, and the luxury brands themselves are very willing to open stores on the Internet, so that they can cover their sales network in areas that are not worth opening stores.
For example, in a small town in the United States, luxury brands set up stores here, and even the rental cost and personnel cost are worth it, but in fact, few people can afford it.
But in fact, even in the poorest town, there are a few people who can afford luxury goods, but if they want to buy them, they need to go to the big city, which is still inconvenient.
With online shopping, the major luxury brands can reach these towns without dead ends.
Of course, the main point is that online shopping is now the most fashionable thing, and it will not affect the B style of major luxury brands. In the later stage, Amazon did not take the road of Taobao cheap and more sales, but similar to the path of Tmall + Xianyu, and the B grid did not decline too much, and the stores of luxury brands still exist.
