Chapter 1411 The Future Is Dark

A sneeze, William White sneezed. When I opened my eyes, I was shocked to find that my quilt seemed to have disappeared. The little beauty Jiaxin looked at Haitang sleeping in spring. Apart from smiling bitterly, she seemed to have no other choice.

Shaking his head, he decided to take a hot bath for himself first. Anyway, no matter how expensive natural gas is, it has no real impact on him. At most, he can just stop looking at the bill in the future. Out of sight, out of mind.

After he turned forty, the idea of ​​sleeping until he woke up naturally was far away from him. Or maybe this is a sign of becoming a greasy uncle.

Due to the heavy workload on Thanksgiving Day, he worked overtime last night. Logically speaking, he should go back and take a nap now. However, this is the fourth Thursday of November. Today, this night, is the legend. It's Black Friday.

Speaking of black, it is different from what many people think. Used here, it represents profit.

Of course, the merchants did not deliberately advertise any profits, but instead created a rush to cause hemorrhage. Actually, what you buy is not as good as what you sell. What you grab back at all costs may be something you will never need.

Just look at Double Eleven and you will know that it is not only the number of purchases that is exaggerated, you must know that the number of returns is also considerable. If you measure this percentage, you will find that many of them should not be quality problems.

Yes, these people regretted their purchase just because it was cheap. But, is it really much cheaper?

Not necessarily!

Compared with the consumers in the Big Rabbit Country, the blind consumption of American imperialism is even worse. Humans are social animals. When you find that everyone around you is rushing to buy, how can you be alone?

"Filson, have you sent out the summons to those bastards?"

"We have applied for an injunction, but there is nothing we can do about the information on the BBS. If we use technical means to deal with it, it will inevitably cause a backlash."

"Damn it, call the marketing department for a meeting. All pricing must be revised in the shortest possible time. It is best to swap the products with the most intense response. If there is no mystery, this Black Friday will definitely be pale.

Bastard, don't let me find out who it is. "

It is not a pleasant thing for anyone to have promotional information maliciously exposed.

Damn shopping guide, if you all follow the guide, this will be Red Friday.

Filson was speechless. This kind of thing happens every year. You went on the line like this. Are you deliberately creating a tense atmosphere?

Fortunately, there is a backup plan, and the World Mall is not a physical store. Otherwise, just changing the hangtag would be enough to make you feel overwhelmed.

Of course, only a few people in the company knew that the trump card this time was actually the interest-free period.

White Bank has launched online payment. This time, it is not a third-party online payment platform like PayPal.

In the United States, William White had never thought about a certain Alipay. It was impossible, not to mention one family, even many families.

There are two issues involved here. The first is monopoly. In the United States, you don’t dare to play either-or. If the goal cannot be achieved, then it is unlucky to be taken to court.

Another issue is the credit card issue. This may not be obvious in other countries, but it is different in the United States. If you don't have a few cards in your hand, it is simply unimaginable.

What, if you take advantage of this opportunity to promote, you won’t be afraid of a bunch of bad debts. You know, the life of a shopaholic is usually a mess. If the overdue amount increases too much, your bank life may not be easy.

In fact, you don’t have to worry about this. Sub-prime real estate loans can be used to create financial derivatives, so what can’t be done with credit cards? In order to ensure the liquidity of banks, there are actually many similar operations. This is how a large part of the various financial products in the United States come to be.

Although he has made a lot of efforts, William White knows very well that it was enough to see the situation last year when the situation was great. What kind of atmosphere is it now?

When people's pockets are a little dry, they will think of saving.

As for how to save?

Electronic products are undoubtedly the biggest hit, followed of course by clothing, shoes and hats. In a word, you need to be cautious about unnecessary consumption.

If you don’t buy a CD player, you can still use a Walkman. Or in a few years, everyone will use MP3. As for the clothes, it is even more unnecessary. If we don’t say that the American imperialists are wasteful, they rarely throw away clothes after wearing them out. They usually only wear them two or three times and then they are done.

It's different now. The Nasdaq has become a dog, and the performance of Dow Jones is also very decadent. In this way, let alone the shrinkage of property, I don’t know when I can get back the money I saved.

In an Internet bubble, half of the Nasdaq companies collapsed. It’s scary to think about how many unemployed people this will create.

The funniest thing is that Nasdaq is just the GEM. Although there are Internet companies in it, there are so many Internet listed companies where you can find them.

Normally, the elimination rate of Nasdaq is roughly 7%, which means that as long as you get in, no matter how good or bad you are, as long as you are not at the bottom, you will probably die.

But what is the concept of 50%?

Think about it, if this matter were done in other countries, would it directly collapse the economy?

"Boss, the investment department is under a lot of pressure right now. One week is not over yet, and we have already had 17 failed investments." The failure that Filson is talking about here is a complete loss of money.

"The most troublesome thing is that the number of companies wanting to invest more is increasing. If we refuse..."

Speaking of these investments, William White is also very distressed. Of course, he has a way to pick out suitable companies. As for those that he has never heard of, it is better to let them fend for themselves.

However, it is understandable that the success rate is higher. If you don’t even have failure cases, it would be too unreal.

There is another problem. Today's Internet companies have changed beyond recognition. It is really difficult to simply distinguish between good and bad.

"Let's analyze it. If we don't just burn money, we should still give them a chance. The most important principle is how big the market will be in the future.

If it is too niche or impractical, you have to give up. I think that since we persisted until now, many people have looked at me as a fool. "

Filson's face was very exciting. Not to mention other people, he was also under a lot of pressure. It’s easy to cheat people out of money. This is the impression that White Investment now gives to the outside world.

He himself knows very well that White Investment is not a disease of big companies. In fact, their think tank has given advice early on. While the current losses are still controllable, we should stop the losses immediately.
