Feng Yu laughed when he saw Zhang Ruiqiang's puzzled look. Even before Feng Yu's rebirth, when online shopping was popular, the supermarket industry was not affected.
After all, many people still like to shop at malls and supermarkets. Shopping online was more intuitive. The items bought online were not as good as the ones picked by themselves.
After a few years of low sales, Walmart's sales will reach its peak again. It will exceed 500 billion USD or even 600 billion USD. Walmart will still be number one among the top 500 companies in the world.
Even if the demand for oil was increasing and the price of oil was high, it was still not as good as Walmart.
With more than 8,000 stores worldwide, Walmart was the king of distribution channels!
"Since I asked you to do it, do you think I will cheat you? Online shopping will have an impact on the traditional stores, but the impact will not be too big. "
"Think about it. If it is some expensive items, will you trust online mail order? Even if you know that there is an online shopping platform to guarantee it, what about the time? "
"When you reach the physical store, you can just pay for the goods. Online shopping is different. It will take some time to get the goods. Even if the logistics is faster now, it will still take 2 to 3 days. "
"If the goods are not to your liking or the seller sent the wrong goods, will you need to return the goods? Then it will take at least 2 to 3 days. In terms of timeliness, online shopping is far inferior to traditional physical stores. "
In the future, food will be the most popular item in supermarkets. No one will order food every day. Even if there was an online shopping app in the same city, it could not be compared to the fresh food market.
Furthermore, this can only be developed in the first tier cities. In the second tier cities, there will not be a high volume of orders. The logistics will be losing money. Who will do this?
Zhang Ruiqiang lit a cigarette and took a deep puff: "This can't be. Didn't you say that online shopping is cheaper? The more expensive the item, the cheaper it will be. Isn't online shopping a better choice to save money? "
No matter what, it is you. Which one is better? Zhang Ruiqiang was confused.
"That's right. Online shops do not have the rental fees of physical stores, and the cost will be lower. But many online shop owners are second-hand sellers, and many physical stores are first-hand sellers. The cost of purchasing goods from physical stores might be cheaper. For example, our Tai Hua Supermarket. Our cost of purchasing goods is the lowest in China. "
In the future, many online stores would purchase goods directly from manufacturers, but now, there were still many who purchased goods from wholesalers.
"If the online shopping mall focuses on being cheap, then some people with bad intentions will take advantage of the loophole. Fake goods had always flooded the market. This was the same in any country. Even in the United States, where the economic development is much better than our Hua Xia, fakes are common. "
"In that case, some products that seem very cheap and cheap are actually very poor in quality. You can't see the real thing and can only see the pictures on the website. How can you tell if the other party is using shoddy goods as quality goods? Not all shopping websites have insurance business. "
In his previous life, many people bought fake goods because they wanted to be cheap. Others said that it was the online store that brought these counterfeits back to life. Otherwise, they would have lost their market a long time ago.
The city was cracking down on counterfeits, so they could only go to the rural market. However, the purchasing power of the rural market was low. If they kept lowering their prices, how much profit would be left?
Now that they had an online store, they could take advantage of the fact that the other party couldn't see the real thing and sell the fake goods to the greedy city dwellers. Maybe most of the people were not greedy. They were just cheated!
Even though Feng Yu and Ma Yun had emphasized this point, it was still hard to stop this. Some online stores were authorized by legal manufacturers, but they did not purchase goods from the legal manufacturers. If one did not pay attention, who would notice?
Feng Yu continued. "There is another important point. The after-sales service."
"Many products provide after-sales service. After-sales service could only be enjoyed with invoices, credit cards, etc. If you buy the goods online, many shops will not issue you invoices. How are you going to enjoy after-sales service? "
"For example, some electronic products might cost a few hundred RMB or even a few hundred RMB for maintenance. If you don't have after-sales service, you will have to bear the cost yourself. If you buy the goods online, you will only save 100 RMB. Do you think it's a good deal? "
"I don't think so. I had bought from your store, and there are payment records. Can't I ask the store to bear the cost?" Zhang Ruiqiang asked.
It was like buying things at the supermarket. Although there were no invoices, the supermarket will recognize the receipt.
Feng Yu smiled. "The payment records can only prove that you had bought the product from my store. But who knows if the broken product was bought from my store? Do you have any proof? "
"There is no evidence, and the other party refuses to admit to the crime. The court's verdict will also be based on the inference of innocence. Why should the store be punished? If you say that the eCommerce Company punishes the merchants under their banner, then what if the store owners are wrongly accused? Wouldn't that disappoint the store owners? "
Zhang Ruiqiang was stunned. Feng Yu thought about it and felt this was reasonable.
"Also, many people do not trust online shopping. They feel that computers are not safe. Just like how many people would rather use a passbook than a bank card. Now, all the big banks had launched online banking services, but how many users are there? "
"Could it be that the higher-ups are advertising that it is convenient? Of course, it is true. But many people are worried. The internet does not know who the other party is, and if they were cheated, it will be hard to get back the money. "
Feng Yu was also helpless about this. Many scammers will impersonate employees of internet companies, banks, Alipay, and even after-sales staff. Many people will fall for these scams.
Especially those older and do not know much about these new things. They are the easiest to cheat. Those who do not know anything are hard to cheat because they do not trust new things. It is also hard to cheat those who know better because they will know what you are saying wrong.
Those who do not know much will think they know everything, and these people are the easiest to cheat. Many people were cheated, and with the media's influence, online payments were advertised as unsafe.
But in fact, even if you are holding onto your passbook, you might still be cheated. It is very difficult to get back the money, and the cost will be higher than the recovery amount.
"Also, although computers are becoming easier to operate now, there are more advertisements on the internet. Many people will be cheated because of this."
"There are also many people who do not use computers. If they want to buy things, they will still go to physical shops. The difference between online shopping and physical shops is very big. Physical shops will not disappear, and in the future, online shopping will be combined with physical shops. "
"Of course, if you are still worried, we, Tai Hua Supermarket Corporation, are willing to expand. We also have the financial strength, the management ability, the brand advantage, and the idea. "
Zhang Ruiqiang was shocked. This Feng Yu was always right. Wait a minute. Was Feng Yu purposely scaring him so that Tai Hua Supermarket Corporation can expand?
Hmmm … … I must get my men to look into this. I cannot let those foreign companies take advantage of me!
