Chapter 1005 Learning and then overtaking
"Mr. Bezos, what's the use of you here?" Tucker said on the side when he saw Bezos's appearance.
"I don't want to do this either, but the opponent's move is too clever. My early plan was very simple, which was to capture almost all the sellers of Oriental Amazon and almost all of us pulled them over. At the same time, major express companies also refused to cooperate with Oriental Amazon, compressing Oriental Amazon's business volume to the extreme, and eventually let Oriental Amazon die on its own!"
"But I never expected that Oriental Amazon actually came up with a magic trick like cooperating with Walmart, and solved the problem of express delivery and sellers."
"You know, even if you add all the products sold by sellers in Wanxian Pavilion together, you probably don't have as much resources as Walmart. And relying on Walmart's logistics, Oriental Amazon can save a lot of logistics costs, so that it can compress the express delivery to about $5, and lay its own advantages in express delivery!"
"The Jiangnan Group can take advantage of Walmart's cooperation to make Oriental Amazon gain a foothold. Next, it only needs to develop Oriental Express step by step and continuously establish its own logistics network. In less than three years, Oriental Amazon will probably restore its delivery capabilities across the country by itself!"
"What's even more terrifying is that Oriental Express is operated by Oriental Amazon, so it will inevitably be able to carry out various transformations based on the characteristics of e-commerce, so that their express delivery business can be completely used for e-commerce services."
"But the express delivery companies we cooperate with now are not good. These express delivery companies are old guys with decades of history. The management of these companies is all arrogant, stupid, and sticking to the rules! It is simply impossible to expect them to transform and upgrade their businesses in order to adapt to the e-commerce platform."
"In the past few years, Amazon broke out for express delivery, and I don't know how many crises. It's just that because there are only a few express delivery companies across the country, all e-commerce platforms have no choice, so the impact of this factor is irrelevant!"
"But once Oriental Express completes its layout across the country, their crushing delivery service will completely convert all express companies. In the future, customers may only be willing to buy goods delivered by Oriental Express. At that time, Oriental Amazon will completely counterattack through Oriental Express, which is natural for granted!"
Bezos is still amazing. He can clearly explain the future development in just a few words, which also proves that his vision is indeed very amazing.
"Yes, this is similar to the prediction given by our Goldman Sachs think tank. The move to cooperate with Walmart is really amazing. This Huang He is really a monster and can always come up with a terrifying strategy!" Tucker also sighed.
"Wait, your think tank has given a prediction now. Wouldn't that mean you have known about the cooperation between Amazon and Walmart in the East? Why didn't you tell me about this kind of thing earlier? I can also make arrangements for response earlier. Is there any reason for this kind of cooperation in the world?" Bezos asked angrily.
"Don't be angry, you know that Walmart itself is a huge consortium, and behind it is Rockefeller's support, and we, Goldman Sachs, have never been able to pee in the same pot."
"They are also very taboo about Goldman Sachs. It is difficult for us to get into the top team of Walmart, so we only learned about this news last night and then let the think tank perform the deduction overnight. I don't get this result earlier than you!" Tucker said.
"Is that?" Bezos nodded, but thought of something, and then said, "No, according to the above description of this delivery instructions, Oriental Amazon should have established several distribution centers around Walmart."
"It cannot be built in one or two days. It will take at least 2 to 3 weeks to plan and arrange. In this way, the entire Walmart grassroots level will inevitably have to contact Oriental Amazon. How could you wait until yesterday to receive the news? You should have prepared two or three weeks ago!" Bezos asked.
"This..." Tucker's expression was a little embarrassed. Could he tell Bezos that Goldman Sachs' usual behavior is to focus on senior executives of various companies, try its best to make friends with these senior executives, and then instigate these senior executives to become their own people.
So there is no manpower or resources sent at all, focusing on the grassroots units of major companies. After all, those who can join Goldman Sachs are basically top talents from all walks of life. Do you want to put these talents into supermarkets and be a cashier?
Seeing Tucker's awkward expression, Bezos probably guessed what was going on. Gao Shun, the emotional Gao, had no attention or investigation into Walmart's grassroots level from beginning to end.
"You guys! Mr. Tucker, I am frank, if Goldman Sachs has always ignored the attention of the grassroots of the company and the ordinary Americans, and just keeps staring at the top, there will be big problems sooner or later!" Bezos reminded.
"Yes! Yes!" Tucker nodded, and then said disapprovingly. "However, this is just because Walmart's situation is special, so it is difficult for us to install our own staff at the top. Otherwise, if we can master the real Walmart senior management, then this top management will also disclose the news of Walmart and Oriental Amazon to us as soon as possible, and there is no need to pay too much attention to those grassroots affairs!"
"After all, those grassroots employees must also follow the instructions of senior management to implement them, and the situation at the grassroots level will be directly summarized into the hands of senior management. So as long as we master the senior management, we can directly grasp the situation at the grassroots level."
"But if you waste your power on the grassroots level, you will not be able to know the trends of the senior management!" Tucker explained calmly. Obviously, although problems have occurred, Goldman Sachs did not take this accident seriously.
In their opinion, this is just because the efforts at the top are not enough. What should be done next is to work harder to dig out the corners of the other party's top leaders, rather than paying attention to the situation at the grassroots level.
"I hope so!" Bezos had nothing to say. He lacked a stance to speak and did not continue to get entangled in this issue. Instead, he asked, "Since your company's think tank has made a comprehensive deduction on this, we should also recommend how our Wanxian Pavilion should deal with our opponents!" Bezos asked.
"Of course there is this, but we also want to know what you think, Mr. Bezos!" Tucker said.
"My thought? My idea is very simple, that is, to absorb the opponent's strengths, attack the opponent's weaknesses, and in the end, you will do better than the opponent." Bezos deserves to be Bezos, and soon gave the corresponding solution.
"First of all, what we have to learn and absorb is the model of the other party cooperating with large supermarkets and then selling fresh products. This model cannot be defeated, but can be imitated and surpassed."
"You said just now that if Walmart and Goldman Sachs are not good partners, then as a company invested by Goldman Sachs, Wanxiange would not be able to reach a cooperation with Walmart. Am I right?" Bezos looked at Tucker and asked back.
"That's right!" Tucker shrugged. "And based on the information we just obtained today, Walmart and Oriental Amazon signed an exclusive and exclusive cooperation agreement. Within at least three years, it is impossible for us to cooperate with Walmart!"
"Then we will cooperate with other chain supermarkets. The United States is not the only brand Walmart. We also have Kroger, many good things, Tajik, etc. The number of stores these supermarket brands combined together is not much lower than Walmart!"
"I will immediately send a delegation to negotiate with these companies so that our Wanxian Pavilion can also reach cooperation with these supermarkets, and at the same time establish a transit point near these supermarkets to provide fresh food services to all Wanxian Pavilion users!"
"I think if we can complete this work within a month, we should be able to regain a lot of markets!" Bezos said.
"No problem, this is the same as the proposal given by our expert group!" Tucker immediately said. "In fact, except for Wal-Mart, nine of our top ten supermarket brands in the country have maintained good relationships with Goldman Sachs."
"You don't need to send any delegation. We can directly communicate with these supermarkets. We can reach an alliance cooperation relationship within no more than three days at most. Don't worry about this!"
"In fact, Oriental Amazon chose to cooperate with Walmart as a bad idea, because in this way, all Walmart competitors will naturally stand on our side. They cannot refuse to cooperate with us, and this will also strengthen Goldman Sachs' control in the entire retail field. Oriental Amazon helped us do a good thing!" Tucker smiled.
"Since that's the case, I'm relieved!" Bezos also breathed a sigh of relief, and once again felt the huge benefits of relying on a large company like Goldman Sachs.
Even though this is a lot of damn fuss.
"What's next?" Tucker asked immediately, "You won't just plan to imitate the Eastern Amazon plan, but you don't have any other actions!"
"Of course not!" Bezos shook his head. "I said before that in addition to absorbing the other party's advantages, we also have to attack the other party's shortcomings. The other party's shortcomings are also very obvious, that is, everything is related to cooperation with Walmart. The Walmart business is equivalent to all the business of Oriental Amazon. If it is bound too hard, there is no room for maneuver!" A scary smile appeared on Bezos's face.
