Although Emerald Island is located in the tropics, it has a tropical rainforest climate. The highest temperature in summer is only 300 degrees Celsius, but the average monthly precipitation is as much as [-] mm.Fortunately, there are many water storage facilities on Emerald Island, and these natural fresh water resources will certainly not be wasted so easily.Although the Emerald Isle has a lot of precipitation, most of them are sudden torrential rains, and then the rain will soon pass and the sky will clear.At this time, it happened to be the time of strong convective weather at noon. It was still sunny, but now it was covered with dark clouds.After a while, bean-sized raindrops hit the window.

Li Wei and Zhou Xiao are busy in the kitchen. The air conditioner in the Emerald Palace controls the temperature at around 26 degrees Celsius. Coupled with the humidification function of the air circulation and purification equipment, the room is not only cool but also very comfortable.There is a central kitchen on the first floor of the Emerald Palace, but Li Wei and Zhou Xiao still cook by themselves most of the time.Anyway, the master bedroom suite located on the east side of the third floor of the Emerald Palace has a separate private kitchen and private dining room, which is quite suitable for two people to live.The decoration of the Emerald Palace is in a luxurious and grand style, but the master bedroom on the east side is simple and warm.Of course, there are still many famous paintings hanging here, as well as many antiques or handicrafts.

After eating, Li Wei and Zhou Xiao left the room, and then went to their office on the second floor.Although Li Wei and Zhou Xiao will not leave Emerald Island because they don’t have any important matters, their businesses are so big, so they simply moved their president’s office or chairman’s office to Emerald Island. .For Li Wei and Zhou Xiao's assistants and secretaries, this decision was very popular.First of all, everyone not only got a salary increase, but also received an additional subsidy; secondly, the board and lodging in Emerald Island are free; finally, Emerald Island is now a popular tourist attraction, and secretaries and assistants can go to these attractions to enjoy when they are on vacation one two.Therefore, when the media exposed the working conditions of the two assistants and secretaries, they were actually selected as "one of the most popular jobs in the world" by netizens on social media, and countless people expressed that they would send their resumes to the two.

When Li Wei came to the office, he first paid attention to the development of Columbia Entertainment Group in North America. After all, compared with this little brother, Kirin Group and DreamWorks Group have developed quite steadily.According to the spin-offs and reorganizations of these years, Kirin and DreamWorks are mainly targeting the Eastern world, while Columbia is targeting the Western world.Of course, there will be exchanges between the three groups.In the Eastern World, Kirin Group is an enterprise with "interactive entertainment + instant messaging" as its main body, while DreamWorks is an enterprise with "Internet + film and television entertainment" as its main body.Now Kirin Group is more and more like a high-tech IT company, while DreamWorks is more like an entertainment media company.Li Wei is also very satisfied with this positioning, which can avoid direct competition and waste of resources between Kirin and DreamWorks.

Kirin and DreamWorks are now on the normal path of development, and Li Wei, the chairman, almost doesn't need to come forward to deal with the matter; Columbia Entertainment Group is still in the North American market, and it's not that Li Wei wants Columbia. The entertainment group is so aggressive, it is really that if you are weak in the market, others will bully you very much.Among the Columbia Entertainment Group, Li Wei is most concerned about the development of BestWeixin.Because this is the first company he acquired in Citigroup, it is also regarded as an indicator company by many analysts and industry insiders.

Although Citigroup's offline retail industry is more dynamic and viable than Huaxia's offline retail industry, it will inevitably be impacted by online malls.Li Wei copied his development method in China in North America. First, he launched Amazon, an online shopping mall, and Paypal, a third-party payment platform.Regardless of Citigroup's credit card development momentum, Paypal has become the largest online payment platform in North America with its strong network payment capabilities.What surprised Li Wei the most was that Paypal also signed a cooperation agreement with Citigroup. The two companies jointly launched a joint credit card, which not only allowed a large number of Citibank users to become Paypal online users in one fell swoop, but also allowed Paypal account users to have Offline payment method.

According to the actual situation in the North American market, Li Wei did not introduce Huabei and Yu'ebao to Citigroup, but increased the function of Paypal's life assistant.Many young people find that Paypal can help them book the most popular restaurants and get tickets to the most popular concerts, so Paypal has become an essential tool for young people to start showing off their abilities.With the influx of young users, Paypal began to cooperate with travel companies and car rental companies to allow its users to enjoy more and more convenient services through Paypal's life assistant function.

Moreover, Paypal also began to set foot in the angel investment industry. Under Li Wei's suggestion, it gave birth to a series of sharing economy developments such as Uber and Airbnb.Although the vast majority of the sharing economy is a "small economy", there are so many people engaged in the sharing economy. It is not only a good way to solve employment, but also a solution to increase the income of low- and middle-income earners.Because of this, Columbia Entertainment Group took advantage of the opportunity to establish Columbia Financial Group, and under brands such as Amazon and Paypal, Columbia Life and Columbia Bank were established again.This is not because Li Wei intends to enter the real financial service industry, but to give Paypal a relying entity.

"In fact, many people are asking, is there a way out for the offline retail industry? What I want to say is, there is! But the road is in my hands." Li Wei's domineering speech boosted the morale of the group.It’s not that Li Wei is bragging, but that Li Wei currently monopolizes 50% of the global online shopping market share; the annual sales of Li Wei’s online retail platforms account for more than 73% of the global retail industry’s revenue.At present, the offline retail industry in most developed countries has been forced by Li Wei to change the course.

"Today, Wal-Mart, Carrefour, Metro and other retail giants are reducing the number of their stores, we are going to enter the offline retail industry. I know some people are asking, why should we set foot in this sunset industry? Yes, the traditional retail industry is indeed It is a sunset industry, but the next-generation offline retail industry we are about to deploy is a sunrise industry. As you know, when the traditional retail industry was at its peak, no matter how powerful Wal-Mart and Carrefour were, 7-11 and Lawson were all thriving. Why? It’s because these community convenience stores fill the vacant positions of Wal-Mart and Carrefour. Simply put, do you go to Wal-Mart to buy a bottle of mineral water when you feel thirsty at work? I think Would you choose to go to the 7-11 downstairs to buy a cup of their homemade instant coffee?

In the same way, no matter how extreme we are in logistics, we can't be there when customers need us, right?The most common situation is that when you meet a person you like and suddenly agrees to spend a good night with you, what will happen to your condoms?Even if we already have 'Hourda', it will take at least 1 hour for the condom you need from order to delivery, right?An hour has passed, do you think your god or goddess will continue to wait?So at this time, you definitely hope to have a 1-hour convenience store by your side, right?So our layout is a community convenience store, but we are completely different from traditional convenience stores.

First of all, our convenience store is unguarded. A consumer enters our convenience store by swiping his face, and when he leaves the convenience store, our billing system has already sensed what he bought, and through his Face is directly connected to our payment platform.The moment he leaves our convenience store, all payment is completed.Secondly, our convenience stores do not offer the most complete range of goods, but only the products that local consumers need most.This requires the combination of our big data platform. I don't think there is a company in the world that understands what consumers need better than us.Think about it, in the not-too-distant future, you will enter our convenience store chain, find the small commodities you need urgently, and then leave in style.Leave the rest to us! "

Li Wei's speech quickly caused a storm in the industry, because Li Wei's idea was so fantastic.The unattended community convenience store undoubtedly cut off a large part of the most troublesome human capital in the retail industry.At the same time, the whimsical facial authentication payment method makes people feel like they are living in the future world, and they can leave without calculating the price or digging out their wallets. This is definitely the most wonderful for the fast-paced lifestyle of modern people. of.

In fact, at this point, many companies around the world can do it.But when it comes to how to meet the needs of consumers in a certain community, such a source of data is probably only Li Wei's company can do it.Li Wei's online shopping platform is the largest and best, and almost everyone has shopped on it.As long as this is the case, Li Wei can speculate on the consumption trend of consumers in a specific community.With such data support, the sales speed of community convenience stores must be very fast, which is equivalent to reducing the inventory cycle.What the retail industry is most afraid of is that the inventory cycle is too long. It is necessary to know that any product is limited by the shelf life and the impact of the popular cycle.Once the goods are packed, it is very likely that they will fall into their own hands.

Large supermarket chains can pass on this risk through payment cycles and return requirements, but smaller supermarkets cannot.However, Li Wei's next-generation community convenience store has perfectly solved this problem. Therefore, in the eyes of industry insiders, Li Wei is about to create the next wealth myth.Under the advocacy of this wealth myth, the stock price of BestWeixin, whose stock price was almost no different from waste paper, suddenly rose in a straight line, and the stock price was creating miracles almost every minute.

Li Wei's next-generation community convenience store plan was not only sought after by investors, but also caused a great shock in the retail industry.Walmart Group, the only online store in the world that can compete with Li Wei, suddenly contacted Li Wei by phone, expressing their great interest in cooperating with Li Wei.

However, when Li Wei was about to refuse, a message came from the Wal-Mart Group, "Surely Mr. Li should know how much impact your plan will have on our retail industry? You not only pushed us to the edge of a cliff, but also Intends to shoot the last arrow in our hearts, so why does Mr. Lee think we won't unite for a last stand? Mr. Lee, I hope you don't turn your last friend in retail back."

After listening to Wal-Mart Group's words, Li Wei frowned.Citigroup's anti-monopoly legal system is the most complete. If the other party really wants to fight against itself on anti-monopoly, then the possibility of losing the lawsuit is still very high.And once you lose the lawsuit in the North American market, what about the European and Asian markets?This is really a game that cannot be lost!
