Chapter 321
On February 1, 1990, at 8 am New York time, Amazon's e-commerce website was quietly launched.
There was no press conference or announcement to the public, so as not to attract the attention of other bookstores.
However, "Amazon" suddenly appeared on the popular Yahoo website.
At the same time, more than a dozen banks led by Wells Fargo have officially launched online banking and helped Amazon promote it.
At this moment, many netizens opened the Yahoo portal. Amazon's e-commerce website attracted people's attention and clicked in curiously.
"Wow, what kind of website is this? It's all books!!!" Someone exclaimed in surprise.
"There are really many books, and there are all kinds of them. I searched casually and found that all the books I know can be found here!"
"Oh,' Amazon website has a million books!' I'm afraid there are not as many books in the university library as on this website!"
"Oh, you can buy books on this website! Just fill in the address, phone number and other contact information, and you can mail the items through express delivery. The payment method can be cash on delivery, and there can also be online payment! Well, online payment requires online banking, and then use online credit to complete the payment task... If you need to open an online banking, you must go to Wells Fargo, Los Angeles Bank, etc. to complete the relevant procedures. Haha, online shopping, online payment, it's interesting!!"
“…”
Netizens who entered the Amazon website were all shocked. Now it is no longer as good as 2016, it can be called the era of Internet wilderness. Amazon e-commerce website emerged. Wouldn’t it be shocking?!
Not long after, Amazon's e-commerce website was launched on the Internet, and people were attracted by this novel website, and many people even placed orders to buy some books. Because these books on the Internet are at least one-quarter cheaper than books in bookstores!
Some books cannot be found in bookstores, but they are available on Amazon.
In addition, for many people who don’t have time to buy books, online shopping is very easy to buy, and express delivery to the front door is very convenient.
On the same day, Amazon found that more than 500 books were sold online.
"Although there are not as many physical chain stores, it is a good start!" Li Zetian smiled happily after learning about the sales data. He knew that many people do not believe in Amazon's e-commerce websites, so they dare not shop online. In addition, they did not open an online banking.
Yu Jingqiu, who was sitting on the sofa eating melon seeds, smiled and said, "Well, it's indeed a good start, it's worth several chain bookstores. Speaking of which, e-commerce websites do have advantages over offline physical stores. First of all, the cost is low, and secondly, ignoring the space, all netizens can easily enter the Amazon website. If the number of netizens exceeds 100 million, or even 1 billion, Amazon will definitely become the world's largest retail bookstore. There is no need for a storefront, no need to hire too many employees, and it saves too much money!"
"That's right, but for a long time to come, Amazon will lose money..." Li Zetian said with a wry smile. Yu Jingqiu may not know that Internet companies are burning money very hard, and there are not many netizens nowadays, so Amazon companies will not even think about making money within three to five years.
...
Soon, a month passed, and Li Zetian asked Jeff Bezos to pay close attention to the trends of other bookstores, but they completely ignored Amazon's company and even rudely spoke to belittle Amazon's website.
"Mad, I admire them too much..."
Li Zetian shook his head, his tone with disdain. Since they were indifferent, Li Zetian was secretly happy. When Amazon dominated the online shopping market, they would just wait to cry, a group of short-sighted people!
Due to the small number of netizens, Amazon does not intend to spend huge amounts of money on publicity, but develops step by step. Li Zetian began to turn his target to Japan and always pay attention to the trends of the stock market and real estate there. Li Zetian estimated that the stock market crash was coming. At the same time, the two Germanys were probably going to be unified, and the people of East Germany and West Germany were in a fierce relationship. In this chaos, Li Zetian thought to himself whether he could take advantage of the situation and salvage it.
In the morning, Li Zetian had just had breakfast and was still sleepy, so he sniffed on the chair on the balcony for a while. Since he stayed up late to work until the early morning last night, he was a little depressed now.
After a while, a knock sounded outside the door, and Li Zetian opened his eyes and asked her to come in.
Dongfang Yuqin pushed the door open and walked over quickly, with an excited look on her face, "mr·li, the Japanese stock market has fallen, and it has plummeted!" Dongfang Yuqin said loudly.
When Li Zetian heard this, he was shocked and stood up from the chair!
"The Japanese stock market has really plummeted?!" he asked uncertainly.
"It's true, the news I just received!"
"That's great!" Li Zetian's eyes lit up, and his face was full of excitement. "It seems that we are going to make a big profit again! Once the Japanese stock market crash breaks out, it will definitely last for a long time. Continuous short selling will destroy Japan, and you can also make money! At that time, I'm afraid many capital tycoons will come to Japan, especially those who eat people on Wall Street who don't spit bones, will definitely cut their flesh from Japan. It's hard for the Japanese government to save the market!"
"Yeah!" Dongfang Yuqin nodded, agreeing quite.
Since the "Platform Agreement", Japan has become a fat sheep, and European and American countries are waiting to fatten it and then slaughter it. Now it is time...
At this time, Japan was wailing in vain.
"How is it possible?! Why did the stock market suddenly plummet!!"
"Real estate prices have also plummeted! My house!"
“…”
Panic began to spread.
The next day, the Japanese stock market continued to plummet, without any trend of recovery. People finally realized that the stock market crash was coming!
At this time, many media said that Japan's stock market crash and real estate bubble were serious, and Japan would usher in an extremely serious stock market crash.
These media exaggerated and added fuel to the fire. There is actually a shadow of the United States behind it, which is them pushing Japan to a cliff. Li Zetian is happy to see it, short the stock market crazily and adds damage.
"You Japanese tycoons are still arrogant. Will you still be arrogant in the future?" Li Zetian mocked.
