Chapter 724 The Miracle of Transaction Volume!
?The relationship between major e-commerce companies and re is like chain stores and shopping malls. From payment to logistics, these traditional e-commerce companies are responsible for providing, and re only provides a "window", and the relationship between the two parties is more similar to an interdependence.
In fact, Jiang Chen had considered starting from scratch before, throwing away those old-fashioned e-commerce companies, taking care of a series of links from payment to logistics, and building Future Rentech's own shopping platform. However, after discussing with Xia Shiyu, he still gave up this plan.
In the future, people will build rockets, but there is no need to polish every screw carefully.
In the future man building on Koro Island, Xia Shiyu was standing in front of Jiang Chen's desk and reporting the situation of re in a smart OL outfit. From the faint excitement under her stern face, Jiang Chen could already feel how gratifying the results of the "vr + e-commerce" plan, which has been in the works for more than half a year, are.
"...According to the feedback from the North American branch, in the first week of re's launch, Amazon's total shopping transaction volume increased by 18%, and the re platform accounted for 40% of this week's transaction volume. eBay's transaction volume also increased by 13%. The home appliance dealer immediately proposed an additional cooperation agreement to us, hoping that we can relax product review and speed up the speed of stores entering virtual reality.”
Jiang Chen leaned comfortably on the seat.
"Where is Huaguo?"
The corner of Xia Shiyu's mouth curled into a smile, and she continued.
"Taobao's transaction volume increased by 28% compared to last week, and JD.com's transaction volume increased by 34%."
Don't underestimate the 28% increase. Although it includes many factors such as natural growth and online marketing, the entire sales base is very large. Taking Taobao alone, the annual transaction volume of Taobao in 2015 was 3 trillion yuan! And since 10 years, it has maintained a growth rate of more than 60% year by year.
Although the growth rate has slowed down, according to the 2017 transaction volume data released by Taobao, the transaction volume has still exceeded 4 trillion yuan, and now the magic weapon "re" has suddenly appeared. I am afraid that Taobao's transaction volume is expected to exceed 5 trillion yuan this year. mark.
"It's like a money printing machine." Jiang Chen sighed.
"I think so too," Xia Shiyu nodded in agreement, "Do you know how much money we made on re last week?"
"How much?" Jiang Chen asked with interest.
"1.2 billion."
Hearing this number, he was stunned.
However, Xia Shiyu seemed to feel that this figure was not shocking enough, so she added, "US$1.2 billion."
After recovering from the shock, Jiang Chen smiled sheepishly and touched his nose.
"...If you don't tell me, I thought it was Vietnamese Dong."
1.2 billion a week, this shit is more than just a money printing machine? The money printing machine didn't print so fast!
What's even more staggering is that the 1.2 billion is still after-tax income. Although the scanning fee for 1 million items contributed more than half, the figure of 1.2 billion still surprised Jiang Chen. You know, Ali only has a net profit of more than 7 billion a year, and it can already be ranked at the top of the global e-commerce. However, it only took one week for Future Group's re to earn what Ali needs to complete in a quarter!
If this waits until re grows up, then it's okay?
To celebrate this victory,
Jiang Chen gave each of the more than 300 employees of the re project team a big red envelope, and took them to a celebration party on the hot spring island.
From beginning to end, this re is a vr program independently developed by these living technicians using the development tools provided by Jiang Chen. For the Future Group, this is undoubtedly a big step towards technological independence.
As far as the present is concerned, the entire Future Group, and only Future Technology has achieved this.

The first reaction of those with vested interests is to reject new things, the second reaction is how to stop them, and the third reaction is to think about how to make changes in line with the trend of the times. However, when they start thinking about changes, they are three beats behind the times. They often have no choice but to be eliminated by the times.
Bentonville, Arkansas, USA is home to the headquarters of Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer.
This legendary retail company has a history that is almost legendary. When "Fortune" magazine released the list of the world's top 500 companies in 2007, Wal-Mart topped the list with a turnover of 351.139 billion US dollars, winning this honor for six consecutive years. When "Fortune" magazine began to select the world's top 500 companies in 1955, Wal-Mart was just a mom-and-pop store in the small town of Bentonville.
At this moment, in Wal-Mart headquarters, the board of directors held an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with the impact of re on the retail industry.
"Which idiot turned down the proposal of Future Human Technology, we could have taken a ride with re."
"It was voted by the board of directors, Mr. Cathello." Eo McMillan stood up and responded to the director who accused him.
"Oh? Then you mean, everyone here is an idiot?"
"Don't get me wrong, I never meant that, Mr. Cathello. Unless you admit it yourself."
"you!"
boom boom boom
The sound of knocking on the table forcibly broke the noise on the conference table.
The chairman sitting at the head of the conference table, Robson Walton, stopped tapping his knuckles on the table, and glanced at the two of them with his cloudy but sharp eyes.
"We have more important things to do than fight, don't we?"
The head of the elderly Walton family has a high prestige in the board of directors. Seeing the old Walton speak, all the directors looked at each other and quickly stopped the meaningless quarrel. McMillan spread his hands, opened his mouth, and finally sat back obediently without saying anything.
Yes, Wal-Mart once rejected Future Technology.
Wal-Mart also operates its own e-commerce website, and its scale can be ranked among the top three in the United States. However, half a year ago, they did not accept the concept of "vr + e-commerce" proposed by Future Technology. The reason is simple. Wal-Mart has many advantages. It can connect its huge physical retail stores and online businesses to provide customers with a full range of shopping services, so there is no need for the VR platform.
No American will be unfamiliar with the items on Wal-Mart's shelves.
In addition, if Wal-Mart supermarkets appear on the virtual reality platform, it will definitely have a greater impact on the sales of Wal-Mart's physical stores.
And it turns out that this decision was wrong.
Whether they want to accept it or not, sales at Walmart-owned brick-and-mortar stores will take a hit from the re. The refusal to stay in re also made them lose a lot of market share on the e-commerce platform by Amazon and eBay.
"We were originally at a disadvantage when facing Amazon, but now re pushed us directly to the bottom. Not only Amazon, but also eBay are trying to distance themselves from us." A director shook his head and said.
"It's not too late to make up for it. I will go to Xinguo myself, and I will ask the secretary to help me book a ticket for tomorrow." McMillan said.
"It's not too late? Even if we change our words now and beg Futureman Technology to let us join re, do you think we can immediately board the virtual reality platform?" Cathello, who had quarreled with him before, sneered, "Scanning 800,000 It took more than half a year for this product, we are adding it now, and I don’t know how many stores are still queuing up, maybe by this time next year, Wal-Mart’s products will appear on the shelves of re?"
It is impossible for others to put their partners aside and let you, a latecomer, jump in line, right?
"I'll convince him," Macmillan said seriously.
"ha"
Cathullo just wanted to make a mockery, but Mr. Walton, the chairman, did not give him a chance to speak and forcibly interrupted his speech.
"You don't need to book a plane ticket, I will lend you my plane. You don't need to wait until tomorrow, you can go today."
Holding his breath, Macmillan nodded earnestly.
"yes!"-
