how i bought the whole world

Gu Anning went home.

He called me very happily one day, "William, I'm going back to China! My parents finally want me to go back!"

I could hear the joy in him, it came from the heart, and it seemed that he really wanted to get rid of this foreign life.Gu Anning calmed down a little, coughed again, and lowered her voice.

"But I'm going to see you again, and I don't know if I can meet again in the future." He said.

I have no regrets for Gu Anning. Maybe I had some fantasies about him at first, but now I have been smoothed out by other things. Although I am a little regretful, I put all my heart and soul into the e-commerce platform that will soon be put into use. So there is no time to take care of others.January 12th is coming soon. On this day, all of us are on standby in the company, from 12:24 am on the [-]th to [-]:[-] pm on the [-]th. We are on the server host computer in the studio [-] hours a day. We knew our first step was successful when we saw that the number of registrations displayed on the server had increased exponentially!

We have developed a series of measures to start the two sites, the first is a discount program, the first three days, all items in Atlantic Mall are discounted by 20.00%.The categories of these items include books, digital electronics, maternal and child products, food and clothing and other genuine goods; the second is the top-up plan, each customer will get a $25 gift coupon for every $[-] top-up, which can be consumed on two websites at the same time , There is no limit to the gift activity, and there is no cap.These two measures have increased our sales by a million dollars within a week, and there is a continuing upward trend.

But this was far from enough. We quickly signed a group buying plan with some restaurants, salons, and spas. This plan was initially only promoted in big cities, such as New York, Boston, Los Angeles, etc., as long as you sign up for Atlantic membership. Enjoy certain discounts at designated stores.But as the foreign affairs personnel we dispatched set up branches in various states, the lists of some second- and third-tier cities also appeared on the Atlantic website.This group buying program has brought us huge profits.Its profit is even higher than that of other Atlantic merchandise sales combined.

Philomena.Garcia is the sales manager of William Field E-Commerce Company. She is a Latin American girl with black hair and black pupils, enthusiastic facial features, and a very hot personality, but she is as cautious as many Latin Americans Careful and good at looking at problems from different angles.

She made an interesting suggestion to me.

"There are more than 50 registered shops on the cruiser. Most of them are eBay sellers. As you said, there is no handling fee. They don't care about duplicating a shop on the cruiser." Filomina said, "here There is good news and bad news. The good news is that because we don’t charge for transactions like ebay, these sellers don’t pass this amount on to customers. Customers are also pouring in more. The bad news is that because these sellers have nothing to do with our company, the credit system needs to be maintained by the website itself. Our customer service told us that they have been busy from morning to night, and there is no time to process a large number of orders Even if they keep expanding their manpower, the problem has not been alleviated.”

"Haven't we already formulated a very complete plan to avoid this risk?" I asked back, "The money paid by the buyer will be kept in our trading system, and wait for the express list to be submitted to confirm that they have received the goods and are satisfied. After the reply, the money will be transferred to the seller, which not only protects the interests of the customer, but also the interests of the seller."

"I don't think the problem is here, boss." Filomina said, "The main obstacle is that sellers and buyers cannot communicate. eaby does not allow mobile phones or MSN because they are afraid of private transactions between customers and sellers, so they can There is no transaction fee to charge, but since we don’t need to charge, why not build a communication tool like MSN for sellers and customers? This will also reduce the burden on our customer service, and many order complaints are not problems with the product, but There is a problem with the communication between the seller and the buyer. You must know that ebay tends to operate in the auction mode, but we are in the pricing sales mode. If someone is willing to buy goods at a higher price on ebay, but the seller has already sold the item to the cruiser customers here, then the order is prone to problems.”

I thought about it, "In my mind, I don't want cruisers to become a second-hand market that only sells second-hand goods. They should be regular stores, and the stock of each commodity should be at least greater than fifty, so as to form a complete With the trading system, cruiser sellers can also exist for a long time, instead of leaving the cruiser after selling one of their second-hand items.”

After a pause, I raised my head again, "You're right, Philomena, we not only need the communication tools you mentioned to be provided to sellers and buyers, but we also need to formulate a detailed pre-sales plan. These sellers set up a supply channel and can supply some commodities to these merchants in small amounts. Although the profit of this is certainly not as large as that of our direct online in the Atlantic, it can facilitate us to stabilize the market price and achieve priced sales.”

Filomina agreed with this idea very much, and she put forward more detailed suggestions for this plan a day later, for example, the supply platform of cruisers should be more diversified, and it does not need the global ship that is sold like the Atlantic Ocean at all. It is a well-known, high-quality, and expensive genuine product. The cruiser supply platform can contact some low-cost, low-priced small manufacturers, making the cruiser a concentration of cheap wholesale products, which in itself can also avoid cruisers. The Atlantic business overlapped, and then became a competitive relationship inadvertently.

Although the development of the cruiser is a bit stumbling, the cruiser is still running smoothly under our continuous upgrade and maintenance. But to be honest, I originally positioned the cruiser as an accessory product of the Atlantic Ocean. I originally thought that if it wanted to make a profit It will be at least three years later. Unexpectedly, after the establishment of the supply platform, many small and medium-sized enterprises will come to sell their products immediately, and advertising here is a lot of money.Not to mention that after a few months, cruiser sellers tasted the benefits of being their own boss and began to switch from selling second-hand goods to regular stores. recommend.

A large number of shops have brought in a large number of customers, and a large number of customers have introduced more shops.After discovering that the value-added service fee can earn us enough dollars, I decided to give up the idea of ​​charging after three years, and I promise all sellers that the merchants who enter the cruiser will be permanently free.

This was my first taste of the benefits of free service.I told Chris that people’s vision should really be more long-term, and they should not lose sight of the huge amount of dollars in the future because of the immediate benefits. I think that free services must be the first trend brought about by the development of the Internet. A website The flow of customers is our main goal in the future.

Such insights have been continuously witnessed in the days to come.

Time passed quickly this year. After the success of Cruiser and Atlantic in the United States, I expanded these two websites to Latin America, Europe and Asia like eaby Amazon. At this moment, I have enough confidence to acquire some Small local Internet commerce companies are spearheading these expansion projects.Philomena was sent by me to Asia as the CEO of William Field Asia E-Commerce Company. She will be responsible for entering the Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan and China markets. At the same time, the headhunter recruited Gerald for me.Scott, Harvey.Parker et al took her place.

The European market is what I value the most. Although their economy is not as fast as Asia’s, they are more stable and developed, and people’s consumption levels are very high. For this reason, I established William Field European E-commerce Company, and I personally serve as CEO , as my deputy, Chris started his career flying around the United States and Europe. I continued to expand, acquire, and reorganize other small companies, and landed the Atlantic Ocean and cruisers throughout Europe at the fastest speed.

In order to make the two websites operate smoothly, although I acquired those small Internet business companies, I did not lay off large-scale employees. On the contrary, I agreed to let the original employees continue to work for the new company after a period of pre-job training, which also prevented the company from Multiple reorganizations have led to instability of people's hearts. Brandon's team of secretaries has played a role at this time. Each of them has followed Brandon and me for a long time, and they understand the overall thinking of the company well enough to decentralize to various branches. Be a good manager.It was they who gave me the time to develop a large number of executives to prepare the group for the next step.

Of course, other company veterans will not be easily forgotten by me, such as Brandon and Yitzhak, each of them has made great contributions to the company, although now my staff is full of talents, and part of the focus is also on overseas markets Above, but these old people from the original company have been rewarded with part of the company's shares, lest I expand outside and also chill the hearts of the original old employees.

"WFEC (William Field Electronic Commerce). Asia: The Tokyo branch has an average of 50 new employees every week."

"WFEC.Euro: German branch established, city of Munich joins Atlantic group buying program."

"WFEC.Asia: The cheap Asian market has become the number one supplier on the cruiser seller platform."

Such good news keeps coming in. William Field Group has a bright future this year. Anyone with a little wink can understand that there is no trend that can resist our dark horse. Today, I have finally realized it. At the beginning, I promised my elder brother Lin Yuexi that the first 8000 million dividends would be remitted to the other party's account, but my goal is even further, that is, I want to build the world's number one business platform in the Internet era!
