Chapter 2312 Selling goods

This is probably the simple spirit of diligence and thrift of the Chinese people. If you were an American, you might have gotten rid of some assets that you don't like... out of sight, out of mind.

However, this plan cannot be rushed.

Take it step by step.

First, build the Yahoo App, a mobile product in the form of a media platform that adopts an information recommendation model.

Zhou Buqi stayed in London for another seven or eight days.

Not wanting to be left alone, the girls around me all went out to sea on yachts and visited almost all the brown sea islands, the Isle of Man, and the Isles of Scilly near the UK.

The world is really big and the scenery is so beautiful.

Zhou Buqi went to several places and stayed in London most of the time to deal with some business matters. Ziweixing Digital Media was also about to go public. This was the most important thing at the moment.

Overall it's not a big problem.

Listing in London is much easier than in the United States. Ziweixing Digital Media is engaged in football-related industries and is considered the most well-known Internet company in the UK.

Ziweixing Digital Media's plan to go public can be regarded as a grand event for the entire British financial market, and all parties are actively promoting the operation.

It is worth mentioning that the company also has e-commerce business.

Mainly working with clubs to help them sell some sporting goods, including jerseys, sneakers, socks, signed photos of players, stationery boxes with team logos, blind box figures, etc.

The monthly turnover is rising steadily and can now reach 1.5 million pounds.

Monthly sales of 1.5 million pounds are actually not too much. In the British e-commerce industry, it is not even ranked in the top 30.

However, the e-commerce business is just a small and inconspicuous part of Ziweixing Digital Media. It only integrates the official websites of major football clubs through the football product Goal, and by the way integrates the sales of products under major official websites.

Rather than saying it is e-commerce, it is better to say that it is selling on behalf of major clubs.

Another point.

E-commerce business is not currently in full swing and is only limited to the UK. To be precise, it is in England, mainly for teams in the Premier League and English League One.

If you want to do the Internet, no matter what type of business you are doing, you have to go around and around... but you can't avoid e-commerce.

No matter how the business model of Internet products changes, if you want to realize cash and make money, you are essentially selling goods. Yahoo's advertising model actually helps people advertise and helps advertisers sell goods through ads; Netflix's streaming membership model also sells goods.

Either selling goods for others, or selling goods for yourself.

Especially domestic Internet companies.

In domestic commodity transactions, the cost-effectiveness of commodities is an advantage, while the channel costs, logistics costs, warehousing costs, tax rate costs, etc. of intermediate links are disadvantages.

Many times a product is sold very expensive, not because the product itself is expensive, but in fact the ex-factory price is very low. Sales terminals are expensive because the cost of intermediate links is too high.

The launch of the Internet has simplified the intermediate links and reduced the intermediate costs, and it can defeat the traditional sales model.

The intermediate costs abroad are not too high, but the labor costs are too high.

But this is a hurdle that neither traditional sales nor e-commerce sales can get around.

Traditional sales rely on salespeople to sell goods; e-commerce relies on couriers to deliver goods. There won't be a big gap in cost, and it will be difficult for e-commerce companies to surpass traditional sales in terms of cost performance.

However, cross-border e-commerce is different.

This makes up for certain market demand.

For things that are not available in the local market, go to other markets in other countries to buy them through cross-border e-commerce.

In mid-July, Zhou Buqi went to New York from London.

Three days later, I went to Silicon Valley.

After returning to Silicon Valley, the first thing to do is to pay attention to the cross-border e-commerce business.

Mainly in two aspects.

First, to promote Ziweixing International's focus in this field, it is not to do e-commerce in person, but to provide a SaaS service based on cloud computing to help others build cross-border e-commerce websites.

Second, talk to Shi Jinglin.

In two months, she would have given birth.

With her character, this is really difficult for her. She has to come back quickly and return to the main battlefield of her career. Otherwise, she is bound to have problems with her mental state every day when she is faced with daily necessities, household chores, and baby care.

The direction Zhou Buqi is looking for for her is cross-border e-commerce.

Try to sell domestic products to the world.

From a general perspective, this can promote domestic export business, stimulate external demand, and solve the contradiction between domestic excess productivity and saturated market demand through overseas markets.

From a personal perspective, cross-border e-commerce is indeed the general trend.

In fact, Zhou Buqi had already told Shi Jinglin.

However, she felt very immature at the time and thought she should seize the time to have a baby first, and then talk about it after giving birth. It was a good pregnancy to have a baby. The whole family was very nervous, for fear that her mood would be affected.

Shi Jinglin is so smart, of course she knows what is going on, and she is relatively relaxed, "I am in a good state, but sometimes I am too idle and a little anxious. I feel that I am far away from depression or something, and I also have to thank Aunt Xue , she really cares about people."

Zhou Buqi was very touched by the last sentence, "Well, I didn't feel it when I was at home. This time I went out...it took a long time to realize the importance of Aunt Xue staying with me."

If Aunt Xue was present, he wouldn't be so embarrassed when dealing with those seventeen or eight female goblins.

At least Aunt Xue would stand up and stop it in time.

Shi Jinglin rolled her eyes at him, "Dear, dear, my, I saw it all just now."

"Where is it?"

Zhou Buqi refused to admit it.

Shi Jinglin hummed: "In the kitchen just now, after Bao Shan left with the baby in her arms, you went to touch Aunt Xue's butt. Did you think I didn't see it? She didn't resist and let you bully me. I kept watching. It takes a few minutes to say less.”

Zhou Buqi curled his lips, "Wouldn't it be better to play peeping?"

Shi Jinglin said: "You are getting bolder and bolder, and you don't shy away from it anymore."

Zhou Buqi sighed, "It's just a hand addiction, what else can I do? Aunt Xue also feels sorry for me, so she acquiesced."

Shi Jinglin was dumbfounded, "There is a reason!"

Zhou Buqi was in Shi Jinglin's bedroom at this time, holding her hand with one hand and gently stroking her belly with the other, and said, "What do you think about cross-border e-commerce?"

"Is this possible?" Shi Jinglin was very worried. "Some time ago you called me and told me about cross-border e-commerce, so I checked a lot of relevant information. I feel that this market is not mature enough, and it may take a few more years. ."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? The on-campus group purchase will help you design the operating model."

Shi Jinglin shook her head slightly, "I'm not talking about specific operations, but this industry. This field is in chaos, especially those domestic cross-border e-commerce teams. Because of the existence of these illegal and criminal elements, even if I want to If you do serious business, your reputation will be affected by them."

Zhou Buqi said disapprovingly: "You think too highly of those foreign consumers, they are not that smart!"
