After Fusang's company, there are companies in the United States. But the companies in the United States are different from Fusang's company, which is controlled by the Daqian. Most of the companies in the United States are controlled by the Daqian, and most of them are controlled by the America First Foundation. These companies don't know that their big boss is Jia Yapeng, so they won't report to him.
But Harry Potter still came secretly and gave Boss Jia a report. Until now, the America First Foundation has controlled 80% of Qualcomm's shares, 76% of Apple's shares, 92% of Marvel's shares, 65% of eBay's shares, 26% of AMD's shares, 80% of Yingwei's shares, 14% of Yahoo's shares, 8% of Disney's shares, 5% of Microsoft's shares, and some other companies' shares.
But from these shares, it can be seen that Boss Jia has absolute control over some companies, and some companies are just shares. These companies are just shares, and Boss Jia is investing in them himself.
In terms of the total market value of the company's shares, the US Priority Foundation was considered one of the top 30 large foundations in the US. The total value of the shares is more than 20 billion USD.
Well, the value of these shares has doubled. When Harry Potter bought these shares, it was only about 10 billion USD. That's why the financial market is very attractive. Boss Jia can't even make 10 billion USD a year, but the stock market can make it double.
Not only Boss Jia's shares have appreciated, but the Daqian's companies are also going to be listed in the United States.
The first company to be listed is 51Search. After all the preparations, 51Search is scheduled to be listed on Nasdaq on February 21st. When Little Huang came to see Mr. Jia, he said excitedly that he would be satisfied with a total market value of 1 billion USD after he joined the company.
Boss Jia just smiled. In fact, Boss Jia doesn't know how much 51Search will make after being listed.
Although Google's market value soared to 24 billion USD after it was listed, the problem was that Google was listed in 2004. There were still seven years between now and now. It was really difficult to estimate the value of these seven years!
After Goldie left with the dream of one billion USD, Amazon's Bezos also came. After receiving the full support of Harry Potter, Amazon developed much faster than in history and began to cooperate with all the publishing houses in the world.
The publishing houses are also very interested in Amazon. After all, Amazon claims to be able to trade directly with customers without the bookstore as a middleman. Amazon only charges half of the bookstore's fees, and Harry Potter's sales on the Internet, so Amazon easily reached a partnership with all the publishing houses in the world, and they sell their books on the Internet. com.
People in the United States are indeed happy to buy books on the Internet, and even people all over the world are happy to do so, because books are the publications with the lowest import and export tariffs in the world.
At the same time, books also have the lowest postage among all the postal agencies. Many countries have preferential policies for sending books, because buying books by mail is for learning. Learning is a good thing to strengthen the quality of the people, so these are all supported by policies. In the United States, the cost of sending a book is only about one-third of the cost of sending other items of the same weight. The cost of sending a book is very low, about 5 USD of postage for a book!
So Bezos chose to start with books, otherwise, you think Bezos really likes to read books?
Amazon's book business has become the largest online book market in the world, and Amazon's development has slowed down a little. At the same time, it also saw a bottleneck.
After all, the book market is so big, and there are only so many people in the world who like to buy books, the upper limit is too low.
Bezos is obviously not a person who can slow down. This time, instead of saying that he came to report his work, it is better to say that he came to ask Boss Jia for power and money.
Bezos brought a total of two plans, one is a plan to go public, and the other is a plan to comprehensively expand the online e-commerce business, expand Amazon's business, and expand the products sold, from books to clothes, shoes, hats, and other branded products, and even a variety of luxury goods.
It has to be admitted that Bezos' idea is very correct, because these are indeed the most suitable products for Amazon at present. At this time, in the United States, the biggest problem that hinders online shopping is not the network's occupation, but the postal issue.
The United States' postal system is notoriously expensive. Sending a letter is at least 2 USD, and a book, which is subsidized by one-third of the price, costs 5 USD.
Then, wouldn't it cost 15 USD to mail something similar to a book?
If it is just a daily item, 15 USD can buy several times more things in the supermarket, why bother to buy it on the Internet?
Therefore, only the expensive things are suitable to be sold on the Internet, such as various brands of clothing, and even luxury goods. The price of these things is originally more than a few hundred USD. Such a price, coupled with 20 USD of postage, is not too much of an eyesore.
On the other hand, if you buy a 5 USD item but add 20 USD of postage, you will definitely not do it, because it is a big loss.
But a 20 USD item with a 200 USD item does not seem to be a loss.
If it is 2000 USD, then 20 USD of postage is nothing.
Therefore, Bezos is very smart to put these relatively expensive goods on the shelves, in this way, it can solve the postage problem in a disguised way. And because it is an online platform, the price is naturally cheaper than offline stores.
What, why do you ask Bezos can get cheap goods? Shouldn't these expensive brands of clothing go through special channels? Moreover, these luxury brands basically have special stores, and it is impossible to sell them on the Internet.
This is a problem of Bezos's face. In addition, online shopping now is not like the future, where the low-price strategy of Taobao makes it naturally lower than offline stores. Luxury brands will not open stores on the Internet.
Now, online shopping is the most fashionable thing in the world. Luxury brands are very willing to open stores on the Internet. In this way, their sales network can cover those areas that are not worth opening stores.
For example, if a luxury brand opens a store in a small town in the United States, it is definitely worth the cost of rent and personnel, but in fact, there are not many people who can afford it.
But in fact, even if it is a poor town, there are only a few people who can afford luxury goods. But if they want to buy, they need to go to the big city, which is still inconvenient.
With online shopping, the major luxury brands can touch these small towns without any blind spots.
Of course, the most important point is that online shopping is the most fashionable thing now, and it will not affect the B points of the major luxury brands. In the later period, Amazon did not take the cheap and high volume approach of Taobao, but it is similar to Tmall + Idle Fish. The B points did not decline too much, and the stores of luxury brands still exist.
