Chapter 326 The stock market crash is coming

At exactly 8 a.m. New York time on February 1, 1990, the Amazon e-commerce website quietly went online.

There was no press conference or public announcement, so as not to attract the attention of other bookstores.

However, "Amazon" suddenly appeared on Yahoo's popular website.

At the same time, more than a dozen banks, led by Wells Fargo, officially launched online banking and helped Amazon promote it.

At this moment, many netizens opened the Yahoo portal, and the Amazon e-commerce website attracted people's attention, and they clicked in curiously.

"Wow, what kind of website is this? It's full of books!!!" Someone said in surprise.

"There are so many books, of all types. I did a random search and found that all the books I know can be found here!"

“Oh, ‘Amazon.com has millions of books!’ I’m afraid the university library doesn’t have as many books as there are on this website!”

"Oh, you can buy books on this website! Just fill in the address, phone number and other contact information, and the things can be mailed by express. The payment method can be cash on delivery or online payment! Uh, online payment needs to be opened online Bank, and then use online credit to complete the payment task... If you need to open online banking, you must go to Wells Fargo, Bank of Los Angeles, etc. to complete the relevant procedures. Haha, online shopping and online payment are a bit interesting!!"

"..."

Netizens who entered the Amazon website were all shocked. Now is no different than 2016, which can be called the barbaric era of the Internet. Isn’t it shocking that the Amazon e-commerce website came out of nowhere? !

Not long after, the Amazon e-commerce website spread on the Internet, and people were attracted by this novel website. Many people even placed orders to buy some books. Because these books online are at least a quarter cheaper than those in bookstores!

Some books cannot be found in bookstores, but are available on Amazon.com.

In addition, for many people who don’t have time to buy books, online shopping is very hassle-free, and it is very convenient to have it delivered to the front door.

On that day, Amazon counted more than 500 books sold online.

"Although it doesn't sell as much as physical chain stores, it's a good start!" Li Zetian smiled happily after learning the sales data. He knows that many people do not trust Amazon's e-commerce website, so they are afraid to shop online. In addition, they do not have online banking.

Yu Jingqiu, who was sitting on the sofa eating melon seeds, smiled and said: "Well, it's indeed a good start. It's actually worth several chain bookstores. Speaking of which, e-commerce websites do have advantages over offline physical stores. Firstly, the cost is low, and secondly, regardless of the space, all Internet users can easily enter the Amazon website. If the number of Internet users exceeds 100 million, or even 1 billion, Amazon will definitely become the largest retail bookstore in the world. No need for a facade or too many employees. Employees, so much money saved!”

"That's right, but Amazon will be losing money for a long time in the future..." Li Zetian said with a bitter smile. Yu Jingqiu may not know that Internet companies are burning money very hard, and the number of Internet users today is not high. If not, Amazon will not be able to make any money within three to five years.

…

Soon, a month passed, and Li Zetian asked Jeff Bezos to pay close attention to the trends of other bookstores. Unexpectedly, they completely ignored Amazon and even made bad remarks and belittled the Amazon website.

"Made, I think too highly of them..."

Li Zetian shook his head with disdain in his tone. Since they are indifferent, Li Zetian is secretly happy. When Amazon dominates the online shopping market, they will cry, a bunch of short-sighted people!

Since the number of Internet users is not large, Amazon does not plan to spend huge sums of money on publicity, but will develop step by step. Li Zetian began to shift his focus to Japan, always paying attention to the stock market and real estate trends there. Li Zetian guessed that a stock market crash was coming. At the same time, the two Germanys were expected to be reunified, and the people of East Germany and West Germany were quarreling fiercely. During this chaos, Li Zetian wondered whether he could fish in troubled waters and make a fortune.

In the morning, Li Zetian had just eaten breakfast and was still a little sleepy, so he squinted on the chair on the balcony for a while. I stayed up late and worked until early last night, so I'm feeling a little down now.

After a while, there was a knock on the door. Li Zetian opened his eyes and asked her to come in.

Dongfang Yuqin pushed open the door and walked over quickly, with an excited look on his face, "Mr. Li, the Japanese stock market has fallen, and it has plummeted!" Dongfang Yuqin said loudly.

When Li Zetian heard this, he suddenly became excited and stood up from his chair!

"The Japanese stock market really plummeted?!" he asked uncertainly.

"It's absolutely true, the news I just received!"

"Great!" Li Zetian's eyes lit up, with excitement on his face, "It seems that we are going to make a fortune again! Once the Japanese stock market crash breaks out, it will definitely last for a long time. Keep shorting, While destroying Japan, you can also make money! By then, I am afraid that many capital tycoons will come to Japan, especially those guys on Wall Street who cannibalize people without spitting out their bones. They will definitely cut off Japan's flesh and eat it. The Japanese government wants to rescue the market. It’s as difficult as climbing to heaven!”

"Yeah!" Dongfang Yuqin nodded in agreement.

Since the beginning of the "Plaza Accord", Japan has become a fat sheep. European and American countries have been waiting to fatten it up and then slaughter it. Now the time has come...

At this time, Japan was wailing in vain.

"How is that possible?! Why did the stock market suddenly plummet!!"

"Real estate prices have plummeted too! My house!"

"..."

Panic began to spread.

The next day, the Japanese stock market continued to plummet, showing no signs of recovery. People finally realized that the stock market crash was coming!

At this time, many media outlets stated that Japan's stock market crash and real estate bubble were serious, and that Japan would usher in an extremely serious stock market crash.

These media are alarmist and add fuel to the fire, but behind them there is actually the shadow of the United States, which is pushing Japan to the cliff. Li Zetian was happy to see the success and frantically shorted the stock market, adding insult to injury.

"You Japanese rich people are still arrogant. Will you become more arrogant in the future?" Li Zetian mocked.

Japanese companies were severely hit by the stock market crash, and Li Zetian's company could take advantage of the opportunity to develop. In addition, the stock market crash caused many companies in Japan to go bankrupt, so Li Zetian would do well and acquire them to prevent these Japanese employees from losing their jobs. By the way, Japanese workers are hard-working and responsible, and the R\u0026D personnel are quite ingenious. They are all good employees...
