Chapter 207 (1/2)
Cymer's core technical talents are the two founders. Henry decided that he would like to do it slowly. Don't push it too hard!
This year, Clinton frequently attended various social occasions to publicize next year's presidential election. His slogan was to develop the economy and promote the development of the information superhighway in the United States. Clinton's speech won the support of the public!
This year, the Internet industry is surging, challenging Nicholas shopping network, global online portals, Isearch search, ICQ instant messaging companies countless, but still failed to shake their position!
However, the market share is gradually eroded.
There are more than ten e-commerce websites in the United States, and Nicholas shopping can't get all the netizens, so it's natural that many users will be divided up. And in Henry's investigation, behind some websites, there are some industry giants in support.
Henry refused FedEx and UPS, so they couldn't hang on a tree of Nicholas shopping. So he supported another two potential websites and formed a confrontation with Nicholas shopping!
With abundant funds, these e-commerce websites are developing rapidly!
Geely Hutt reflected to Henry that in the last quarter, although the trading volume of Nicholas shopping network increased, the growth rate decreased! Before that, the growth rate was more than 50% in each quarter. After 1991, the growth rate dropped to less than 40%. The main reason is that the number of e-commerce websites is increasing, and the rising speed is too fast, many users are attracted away!
Henry carefully understood and analyzed it, and felt that the situation was a bit grim. If Nicholas shopping net doesn't make any changes, if it goes on like this, e-commerce in the United States will form a chaotic pattern of feudalism. Nicholas shopping network is of course the largest ”Princes”, but it is impossible to command the heroes and become the overlord!
Although the Internet penetration rate in the United States is high, not every American has access to the Internet! More than 60% of the people just know about the Internet. It's not clear what it is. Therefore, not to mention the Nicholas shopping network will understand! Those who have just come into contact with the Internet do not have a strong sense of identity with Nicholas shopping. This creates opportunities for other e-commerce websites!
The Internet is still in rapid development, the real pattern has not been determined, everything is possible!
”Do C2C!” Henry thought about it and finally said to Geely Hutt.
”C2C is...” Geely Hutt hesitated for a moment and said, ”e-commerce between individuals?”
Henry nodded and said, ”yes, that's right. We let consumers sell things to another consumer through Nicholas shopping platform. In short, we build a platform that allows individuals to open online stores on Nicholas shopping website and sell to other consumers! ”
Geely Hutt brightened up and said excitedly, ”yes, that's a good idea!”!!! If C2C is launched, many people will be interested in it and open a shop on our website, and the popularity will increase greatly, and the traffic of our website will also soar! ”
”That's it!” Henry said with a smile, ”the more popular people are, the more customers will come here to shop. The essence of the market is a zero sum market. If users shop here, they will not buy the same things in other places.... ”
”Chairman, they open online stores on our website. As a third-party business, we can also charge for them.” Once the C2C model is launched, the traffic of Nicholas shopping network may blow up the server. Geely Hutt is excited when he thinks about it. He can't help asking eagerly!
Henry said with a faint smile: ”yes, just like B2C and B2B, there is a charge for opening a store, and a part of the charge for a successful transaction!”
Nicholas shopping network started with self-management, followed by B2C, allowing third-party businesses to enter, followed by B2B, and now we start to do C2C.
Henry thought about it and said to Geely Hutt, ”then I'm going to reorganize the Nicholas group, which will also include Nicholas shopping network. My idea about Nicholas shopping network is that C2C is called eBay, B2C is called Amazon, B2B is called Alibaba, three carriages go hand in hand to build Nicholas e-commerce empire!”
EBay, Amazon, Alibaba? What three strange names... Geely Hutt's face was full of confusion, but his name was the second. He said to Henry, ”well, then I'm going to reorganize the company!”
”Well!”
