Chapter 1225 Do You Know What the Internet Era Is?
“Want to make some pocket money on the weekend?
Register for the Beehive Alliance now. As long as you have legal status, we will provide you with an additional income.
By the way, work-study is also possible. "
Surprisingly, such a piece of information has been pinned to the top of many portal websites.
honeycomb?
This stuff is not unfamiliar to Americans. People who live in the countryside may not know that there are a few people in the steel jungle that they have never seen.
But, don’t you just provide package storage?
This alliance?
Hey, go find more stores or large supermarkets like Wal-Mart, that's what the alliance will look like.
Doubts are doubts, but this does not prevent them from figuring it out. It's a good idea to make some extra money when you have some free time.
"Tom, is this idea okay?
Ahem, can we talk to the guild? It's almost Christmas, and those bastards can't seem to stand it any longer? "
"Talk? What to talk about? There may be a vote after Christmas. You either choose the guild or you quit.
Alternatively, the management can also make an MBO. The boss has already said that the guild has interfered with the normal operations of the company, and if it is not corrected, he will give up the real industry. "
Jeff Bezos was speechless, although he was also full of resentment. However, it is far from reaching the level of William White.
Of course, he really couldn't complain about William White's imaginative thinking.
First, customers were allowed to pick up the goods themselves, but now it’s even better, and other workers are mobilized to deliver the goods together.
But how useful can this be?
Jeff Bezos expressed doubts, but Amazon does not control shipping. As long as you can deliver the goods, I will naturally pay the cost.
It's just that this time you lost money and made a profit.
Wait, no, if it is just a simple loss and profit. Could it be that William White's think tank is all dead people.
Damn it, it’s still that eyeball economy. After all this, William White’s purpose is just to promote his business model.
From this perspective, well, the more the Guild struggles, the more benefits it will have to William White.
You see, if you usually play like this, it would be unfair competition.
"Tom, are you sure it will be resolved before Christmas?"
"It's difficult. A more optimistic estimate is that 70% will be sold out. It's not like you don't know that after the Thanksgiving sales, the sales volume is also very impressive."
Jeff Bezos nodded and said nothing.
He knew exactly how difficult it was. If this matter were left to him, the website would be paralyzed.
The retail industry and Wall Street were all watching this slowly rising giant when it was directly bought and liquidated.
It's hard to say what will happen in the future. At the very least, this year's Thanksgiving retail sales, if you don't count the Internet, are destined to decline.
The three major rating agencies in the United States are actually very unreliable. However, this is a monopoly and exclusive business and cannot be tampered with at all.
You are unreliable. How can the melon-eating masses evaluate the economic trend?
Lipstick theory, the worse the economy, the better the lipstick sales. When you see Revlon’s sales skyrocketing, it’s almost like a Great Depression.
Of course, the lipstick sales boom, like the Great Depression, is an episodic event. Maybe it doesn't matter at all and is just far-fetched.
A more reliable one is a Thanksgiving popularity index.
If you jump off the building and sell something, of course you will lose money. However, a considerable number of people who cannot snap up cheap goods will eventually continue to buy.
In this way, merchants can reasonably arrange Christmas season activities based on this index. There will be discounts anyway, just less.
The cost of buying Christmas gifts can be considered a considerable expense for middle-class families. One can imagine how much attention the retail industry will take it.
However, this year's situation is a little different.
Do you want to include Amazon in this damn index?
“What’s there to argue about?
Jason, this is simply a misunderstanding. "
"What, boss, can you explain it to me?"
Jason Gao didn't argue with Philson. He thought it couldn't be calculated. They were completely different things. Filson thought that he could give a discount and completely ignored it, which was obviously not a pragmatic attitude.
"Hey, what is the so-called Thanksgiving Index?
It’s just consumption desire!
Why is online shopping not a consumer desire? Not only does it need to be calculated, but also those that have not been grabbed.
In any case, this stimulates their desire to buy. "
"Ahem, I understand, boss. We need to increase the inventory."
"Well, if you can't buy it online, you will naturally go offline. Jason, if your son doesn't receive a Christmas gift, will he disown you as his father?"
Jason Gao smiled bitterly. Of course, he could also criticize his boss. My son will just be disappointed for a while.
You are miserable, my God, you have provoked so many girls, you are exhausted.
Indeed, for a scumbag like William White, celebrating the New Year is too tiring.
This year is even better. I have been busy arguing with Soros before, but he has delayed a lot of things.
Now that the dust has settled, if you don't water the ground again, Lao Wang next door will be busy.
William White's outrageous move not only stunned the Teamsters Union. As for the competitors, they were also stunned.
Damn it, we don’t do this. It's the end of the year, and it's hard to find a job. After all these goods are disposed of, what bargaining chips do we have here?
Well, a bunch of idiots got it wrong. William White didn't pay attention to the current logistics volume at all. Since they were going to play, they might as well play bigger.
Do you know why it’s called a hive?
Look, those guys who want to earn some pocket money on a whim, don’t they look like a swarm of bees?
"Boss, our people have calculated the cost, and this is simply random.
Hehe, this time, the loss of tens of millions of dollars is simply a certainty. "
"Andy, your math was taught by your physical education teacher, right?"
"Uh⊙⊙!"
Poor Andy, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. He is a top student at Stanford and has been a top student since childhood.
Old guy, don't think that just because you are the boss, you can humiliate me!
"Not convinced? Oh, remember, we are Morgan Stanley and an investment bank. You must get used to looking at problems from a valuation perspective.
Haven't you ever discovered that Amazon's sales are positively correlated with its valuation?
Lose money? Can you lose 500 million? "
"Ahem, cough, boss, it doesn't seem possible. The maximum is 50 million."
"Yes, those idiots in the guild, can their funds be maintained until the Chinese New Year?
Even if it works, what about next year? Have you never had to work?
I bet that all William White needs to say now is, you all go back to work, and I will forget about it.
Believe me, there will never be more than 30% of people who continue to screw around. "
"Boss, let's continue collecting money."
"This is natural. Whether a business model works or not cannot be measured by emergencies. If pilots go on strike, will the airline go bankrupt?"
"I know the boss, this guy has so many tricks up his sleeve."
It doesn't matter whether there are many tricks or not. As long as there is a tacit understanding of cooperation, the needs of both parties will be met.
"Um, damn it, I can't do it anymore, you bastard, or you won't see anyone for months, and when you do meet, it won't end. Let me go quickly."
"Ahem, Sophie, aren't I busy?"
"Damn it, if you dare not show up for a few more months, I will steal someone."
William White smiled bitterly, what can he say, my brother's waist is already hurting. My hard-working little bee is almost exhausted.
