Chapter 1439 Yang Ming Values ​​Bezos's Ability!

Bezos was shocked by the strength of Sir Yang and the Empire Group.

Yang Ming was impressed by Bezos's ability.

In his opinion, it was not easy to become the richest man in the world in the previous life, including many elites he met in the previous life.

In this era, these people are still the elites of this era.

It's just that some people are unfortunate to meet Yang Ming.

"What do you think of Hong Kong?"

Thoughts?

In the past, Bezos had never been to Hong Kong, so he naturally didn't know the changes and prosperity of Hong Kong. He just thought that Hong Kong was the world's third largest financial metropolis as advertised in newspapers.

However, these days, he found that it was not the case. The technology here is very powerful in all aspects, even not inferior to Silicon Valley.

It was because of that that he was deeply shocked.

Bezos is not a Utai, but he is also an elite of the traditional white people in the United States.

It was because of that that Bezos became the richest man, elite, and technology giant of that era in Yang Ming's previous life, which was very rare. Because in Yang Ming's previous life, the finance, even technology, and Internet of Country M were basically monopolized by Yutai.

"Sir Yang, Hong Kong is far more prosperous than I imagined."

Yang Ming smiled.

In fact, Yang Ming knew that Hong Kong was still too small. Even if it developed according to his plan, the population of Hong Kong would reach 50 million in the future, which is about the same as that of South Korea. Even then, the GDP would still far exceed that of South Korea. He felt that Hong Kong's advantage in the Internet was not great.

In fact, in terms of the future Internet market, it is mainly divided into three parts.

One part is domestic.

Historically, the domestic Internet developed along with the Internet of Country M, so it is also the second largest Internet market in the world.

And now in terms of this aspect of China, because of the emergence of Yang Ming and the Empire Group, this aspect should develop better in the future.

One part is Country M.

Country M has a great advantage in this aspect of the Internet. It was like that in Yang Ming's previous life, and it is still like that now.

Another part is the European market.

In Yang Ming's previous life, the Internet market in Europe was basically monopolized by Internet companies in the United States.

Like Bezos' Amazon, every time it enters a European country, it immediately occupies the market of that country.

As for Microsoft, Google Search, Facebook, etc., these are not to mention, the Internet market in the United States directly occupies the European market.

However, Yang Ming has already laid out the European Internet market.

In this regard, he mainly considers the situation in the United States.

"Hong Kong is still too small, although it is the intersection of the East and the West. However, in terms of technology and the Internet, it will not have an advantage in the future."

This is caused by population.

Just like South Korea and Japan, in fact, there are many talents in this field in these two countries, especially Japan.

However, in Yang Ming's previous life, the Internet markets in South Korea and Japan were also monopolized by Internet companies in the United States, and the Internet companies in these two countries did not have any advantages at all.

Bezos knew that Sir Yang was right, and Hong Kong did not have much advantage in this regard.

However, if Hong Kong is used as a research and development center, it is still very good.

Just like ICQ, the instant messaging software company of Empire Group.

This instant messaging software company is now the world's largest instant messaging company.

Like the Bezos couple, they both have an ICQ number.

In addition, Bezos' visit to the Hong Kong Science Park was what shocked him the most.

These days, every time he thinks of those things, Bezos feels that the strength of Empire Group is far stronger than the outside world imagines.

"Mr. Bezos, I heard that you set up an online bookstore?"

This online bookstore is the predecessor of Amazon.

Of course, it can also be said that when Yang Ming was the predecessor, Dangdang.com was also selling books online, and it was indeed imitating Amazon at the beginning.

However, later on, Dangdang.com gave people the feeling that it was selling books online, while Amazon has become a global e-commerce giant.

Dangdang.com is simply not comparable to Amazon.

"Yes, Sir Yang."

Bezos began to talk about his idea of ​​setting up an online bookstore with his wife MacKenzie.

"At that time, my wife and I listed more than 20 kinds of goods, and then eliminated them one by one, and streamlined them to books and music products. Finally, we chose to sell books first. Books are particularly suitable for online display. As a publishing powerhouse, the United States has 1.3 million books, while music products are only 200,000 to 300,000. The book publishing industry has a large market space, with annual sales of 260 billion US dollars. However, the annual sales of the largest chain bookstore in the United States, which has more than 1,000 branches and is also the world's largest bookstore, only account for 12%."

The people of the United States like to analyze data very much.

The Bezos couple is the same. They found that selling books online is very promising after market research and analysis.

Physical bookstores have actually existed for many years.

However, the number of books in these bookstores is limited, and people even have to go to the bookstore in person to choose.

However, if they can be displayed on the Internet, people can open the website to choose anytime and anywhere, which can save customers a lot of energy in his opinion.

It must be said that the Bezos couple's idea is very good, and they have really found a golden idea.

Of course, selling books online is just an ordinary commodity in e-commerce.

Because selling things online can actually include anything, including thousands of items.

Later, when Amazon developed into a global e-commerce giant, selling books online could only be regarded as an ordinary product in Amazon.

Because in addition to this, there will soon be a large number of clothes, electrical appliances, and even auto parts, etc., which can be bought online.

However, the Bezos couple must have started from the very beginning, accumulated the first pot of gold, and even raised funds before they could gradually grow bigger and stronger.

As for why they finally chose books from more than 20 kinds of commodities, they also considered that selling books online has advantages over physical stores.

However, selling books online at the beginning was not so easy.

Because e-commerce involves shopping malls, consumers, products, and logistics from the beginning.

Now the Bezos couple's online bookstore is just an ordinary shopping mall, and the product is books. As for logistics, Bezos still has to cooperate with local express companies.

Of course, a lot of money is needed here, and that's why he wants to raise funds with a plan, strive for more funds, develop this online bookstore, and then expand the scale of this company through listing financing.

Now Bezos has already got a little clue about e-commerce, but not much, it can be said that he is exploring while developing.

However, Yang Ming is different. His predecessor has done a lot of research on e-commerce, including Amazon, eBay, and even Taobao and Jingdong.

If it weren't for Bezos' ability, he really wouldn't have asked someone to bring Bezos here to meet him in person.
