Chapter 862 Can't Solve the Payment Problem, Everything Is Just a Cloud
Copying or not copying is not a problem on the Internet. In fact, everyone is copying and copying, which is nothing at all.
It was not Papa Ma who first imitated Amazon, but Dangdang was the originator. It's a pity that if you only know these things, it's useless.
Looking at the later Amazon, it is simply the American version of Aliga Jingxi.
Laomei is actually good at imitating, otherwise, they are still herding cattle now. The American continent is simply a barren land. If it is not copied from Europe, there will be some industrialization, which is impossible.
Don’t let PayPal go in advance, anyway, Elon Musk has already fainted in the toilet, so it’s okay for you to pry another idea. This guy's brain hole is big enough, maybe even come up with a new toy.
If William White hadn't had a bank in his hands, he would probably have done it long ago. You can only use those point cards to recharge the paid mailboxes, which is really inconvenient. If there is a ready-made online payment platform, why should he bother.
However, recharge point cards are more reliable than phone cards. Several Little Bells were screwed by this thing. Nima, there are more fakes than reals.
Don't be surprised, it's not just Hawkeye doing this business, Sicilians and friends in Chinatown also sell this.
Ever since Xiaohu told him the news, William White struggled to live or die. You can use the password rules to make long-distance calling cards, and of course you can also get his point cards. It's nothing more than a small demand. With the launch of ICQ Advanced Edition and other online games, this demand will become greater and greater.
Ahem, it's time to do something, tsk tsk, it's cheap.
Jeff Bezos was filled with emotion as he looked at the plan in his hand, and he was a little thankful for his choice. If he refuses here, you don't even want to see this thing in front of you.
Anyone who engages in a shopping website will not know the importance of payment. Looking at the current situation, people don't care about Amazon at all.
Yes, audio-visual book products do not make money at all. However, it has a very big advantage, that is, the purchase threshold is low.
Fuck, this is using Amazon fans to grow PayPal. Jeff Bezos, who worked in a fund company, doesn't understand anything. This Nima is definitely a great idea.
It's just this 5%. Well, with such a big investment target, he really can't say anything. Allowing you to share the pie is also based on the common interests of both parties.
"Tom, I agree, happy cooperation."
"That's right, man. To tell you the truth, the investment department of the company disagrees. They would prefer to go to an independent bank to operate.
Ahem, if it wasn't for the boss having a large banking institution, you wouldn't be able to do such a good thing. "
"Isn't that so? It won't have an impact on the real banking industry." Jeff Bezos had a weird expression on his face. He didn't suspect Tom's exaggeration. In fact, the guy opposite didn't understand these things at all.
"Man, take a growth lens. Do you know how many Internet users there will be in the future?
A cross-border and cross-platform payment tool, can't it expand its functions?
For example, it guarantees both buyers and sellers, which is similar to the function of LC. You don't trust the seller, and I'm afraid I won't get the money.
Well, my platform is used as a guarantee, and it is not too much to charge both of you 0.5%. "
"Great idea, great business."
"Of course, the valuation we are talking about now is nonsense. Once this contract is signed, it will double when we go out."
"Okay, happy cooperation."
Jeff Bezos has no doubts, he even thinks that the double increase may be less. In his view, whether it is Amazon or PayPal, the future development space must be greater than that of Netscape.
Hehe, if this guy told William White these words, he wondered if he would make someone laugh out of his internal wounds.
Are you kidding me, Netscape was close, if not the biggest dot-com bubble. In William White's view, a billion is a big deal, and a valuation of three billion is completely insane.
In the absence of competitors, your valuation is not reasonable.
If Bill Gates was so easy to deal with, William White would have included this guy long ago.
After signing the contract, let's not talk about the two going out. The two guys would not have thought about what the contract they signed today meant.
Don't they all talk about virtual economy? From this moment on, there is a link between online and offline.
To be able to sell the goods, there is no need for any shops and shop assistants. Merchants sell more products, and consumers get greater discounts.
Of course, Amazon is not Ali, and the country of America is not the country of rabbits. It is impossible to develop all at once.
Do you know why a certain treasure is cheap?
Fake?
Cough cough, this is not important, if you buy an LV for more than 100 yuan, it is impossible to give you a real one, unless the boss is so busy that he faints and sends out the only sample.
Taxation is the key to the problem. All successful small commodity markets have tax incentives at the beginning. Well, to put it mildly, it's just that they don't pay much tax.
There used to be a joke where a guy selling lighters got caught for not paying taxes.
The staff asked him righteously, why don't you pay taxes, don't you know that national construction is inseparable from taxes?
Boss, if everyone pays taxes, of course I have no problem. You can catch half of the ten tax evaders at most, and the remaining half still have a chance to survive. If I pay taxes in full, I will lose one if I sell one, and it will not be enough to die ten times.
Of course, later these things did not exist. You can mess around with the first pot of gold, but you can't do it later.
Speaking of it, the post-90s and post-00s are indeed a bit bitter13. Nothing good happened, but the pot of skyrocketing housing prices was firmly on his head.
"A book seller? What kind of operation is this?" The boss of Dalmo was a little dizzy. He felt that the world was becoming more and more blurred. A DVD makes Hollywood gossip, and now it invests in a book buyer.
"Ahem, I'm not very clear, that Jeff Bezos is quite famous on Wall Street."
"Wall Street?" The old guy's head hurts even more. What's the point of this? Book sellers are generally considered cultural people, so why are they talking to Wall Street again?
"Andy, tell me clearly, what is this guy's background?"
In the eyes of the old guy, Jeff Bezos must be crazy. Since you can get along like a fish in water on Wall Street, why go to the muddy water of high technology.
"Online payment?"
"Yes, I asked around. Although there is such a demand, no one is optimistic about this business."
"So, our bankers are not optimistic? Well, although I don't understand this thing, I am willing to trust William White's judgment.
There are so many things that bankers don't like, don't they still look down on William White? "
Andy didn't know what to say. Now it seems that William White was not short of money back then. It was just a performance art for him to ask those bankers for help. In other words, it was to confuse the Hunter family.
You succeeded, no matter how unbearable you were at the beginning, there will be someone to help you brag about it. If William White hits the street, then the foolish 13 rich second generation who is overconfident will be his only label.
In this story, it was the banks and the Hunters who were being fooled.
As for William White?
Anyway, no matter how outrageous it is, isn’t it the same story of success learning? If it can’t be sensational, there will be some storytelling there.
Jeff Bezos now knows how human beings are. Looking at these flattering bankers, he really doesn't know what to say. Just a month ago, they were still indifferent.
