Chapter 1117

After Fusang's company, there are American companies. However, unlike Fusang's company, which is directly controlled by Daqian, American companies are not directly controlled by Daqian, and most of the others are controlled by American priority foundation. These enterprises do not know that their big boss is Jia Yapeng, so naturally they will not report their work.

However, Harry Potter sneaked in and gave boss Jia a report. So far, American priority foundation has controlled 80% of Qualcomm, 76% of apple, 92% of marvel, 65% of eBay, 26% of AMD, 80% of NVIDIA, 14% of Yahoo, 8% of Disney and 5% of Microsoft, In addition, there are some fragmented shares of the company.

However, it can be seen from these shares that some companies are absolutely controlled, and some companies only hold shares. These companies that only hold shares have the right to be invested by boss Jia himself.

In terms of the total market value of the company's shares controlled, the American priority foundation is also one of the top 30 large foundations in the United States. The market value of the shares in hand, taken together, has exceeded $20 billion.

Well, the market value of these stocks has basically doubled. When they were bought, they were only more than $10 billion. Therefore, the financial market is indeed very attractive. Boss Jia's hard work can not earn $10 billion a year. If he tosses about in the stock market, he will double directly.

Moreover, not only did the stock bought by boss Jia appreciate, Daqian's own company will soon be listed in the United States.

The first is 51 search. After completing various preliminary preparations, 51 search has been booked to ring the bell on NASDAQ on February 21. When Xiao Huang came to see our boss Jia, he said with some excitement that he would be satisfied to have a total market value of US $1 billion after joining the listing.

In this regard, boss Jia just smiled. In fact, boss Jia doesn't know how much money 51 search has after listing.

Although Google's market value soared directly to $24 billion after it was listed, the problem is that it was listed in 2004. It's still seven years away from now. It's really hard to estimate these seven years!

After Xiao Huang left with a dream of $1 billion, Amazon Bezos also came. With the full support of Harry Potter, Amazon developed much faster than in history and began to cooperate with all publishing houses around the world.

Publishers are also very interested in Amazon. After all, Amazon claims that it can trade directly with customers and can avoid the middleman of bookstore to earn the price difference. Amazon only charges half of the cost of bookstore. Coupled with the sales volume of Harry Potter on the Internet, Amazon has easily reached cooperative relations with publishers all over the world, Put these books on their own network for sale.

Americans are indeed willing to buy books on the Internet, and even people all over the world are willing to do so, because books are the publications with the lowest import and export tariffs all over the world.

At the same time, the postage for books is also the lowest among all postal institutions. Many countries have preferential policies for mailing books, because buying books by mail is for learning. Learning is a good thing for strengthening national quality, so these are supported by policies. In the United States, the cost of mailing a Book, It is only equivalent to about one-third of other items of the same weight. The cost of mailing is very low. The postage for a book is only about $5!

That's why Bezos chose books to start, otherwise you think Bezos really likes reading!

Amazon's book business has become the world's largest online book market, and Amazon's development speed has slowed down slightly. At the same time, it also sees the bottleneck.

After all, the book market is so large, and there are so many people like to buy books all over the world. The upper limit is too low.

Bezos is obviously not a person who can slow down. This time, he came not so much to report his work as to ask boss Jia for power and money.

Bezos has brought two plans in total, one is the listing plan, the other is the plan to comprehensively expand online e-commerce, expand Amazon's business, and expand the items to be sold from books to brand products such as clothes, shoes and hats, and even various luxury goods.

We have to admit that Bezos's idea is very correct, because these categories are really the most suitable products for Amazon at present. At this time, in the United States, the biggest problem hindering online shopping is not the share of the network, but the problem of mail.

The American postal system is notoriously expensive. Sending a letter starts at $2, and a book that itself subsidizes only one-third of the price costs $5.

So if you send something similar to a book, does it cost $15?

If it's just daily items, you can buy several times in the supermarket for $15. Why go online to buy it.

Therefore, only those expensive things, such as clothes of various brands, or even luxury goods, are suitable for sale on the Internet. The price of these things is already more than a few hundred dollars. Such a price, combined with the postage of $20, is not too eye-catching.

On the contrary, if you buy me $5 goods and pay $20 for postage, you won't do it. It's a big loss.

But with $200 worth of goods and $20 worth of goods, it doesn't seem to lose so much.

If it's $2000, what's the postage of $20?

Therefore, Bezos tactfully put these relatively expensive goods on the shelves, so that he can solve the problem of postage in disguise. Because it is a network platform, the price will naturally be cheaper than offline stores.

What, you ask what Bezos can get cheap goods. Shouldn't these expensive brand clothes go through special channels? And these luxury brands basically have special stores, which is impossible to sell on the Internet.

That's Bezos's face problem. In addition, unlike later generations, online shopping is naturally lower than offline class due to Taobao's low price strategy. Luxury brands will not open stores online.

Nowadays, online shopping is the most fashionable thing in the world. Luxury brands themselves are very happy to open stores on the Internet. In this way, they can cover their own sales network to areas that are not worth opening stores.

For example, in a small town in the United States, luxury brands open stores here. It must be worth even the rent cost and personnel cost, but few people can afford it.

But in fact, even in a poor town, several people can afford luxury goods, but if they want to buy, they need to go to the big city, which is still inconvenient.

With online shopping, major luxury brands can reach these towns without dead ends.

Of course, the most important thing is that online shopping is the most fashionable thing and will not affect the b-grid of major luxury brands. In the later stage, Amazon did not follow the path of cheap and marketable Taobao, but a path similar to tmall + idle fish. Grid B did not decline too much, and stores of luxury brands still exist.
