The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 1190 It's All Pig Teammates' Pot

Because it is rare to meet a confidant, Bezos, who has held a lot of grievances in his stomach over the years but has no way to confide in them, is simply like the lady of Versailles beside him who keeps vomiting out the dissatisfaction and grievances in his heart.

As I said before, what frustrates Bezos the most about the supermarket fresh food business is actually the cooperation of pig teammates, as Bezos said next: "In fact, I have tried to solve the internal problems of the company. I gritted my teeth and offered the employees a higher basic salary than the competitors, and at the same time tried to persuade those supermarkets to send an employee to help us tally and pack the goods. This finally stabilized the fresh food business of the supermarkets. come down."

"But what I don't understand is why those supermarkets deliberately tricked me!" Recalling his own stories over the past few years, Bezos couldn't help feeling sad, and said through gritted teeth, "What really ruined our supermarket business is actually the source Because of negative reviews from customers. So the negative review rate displayed on our website is less than 0.1%, but in fact more than 6% of customers have given us negative reviews. Because the products they receive often have a large number of Broken, rotten, defective products, etc."

"I really doubt that those supermarkets deliberately handed over the unsold items in their supermarkets to us for delivery. Later, I communicated with these supermarkets countless times, and communicated directly with their presidents and even the board of directors. Various methods, but still can not solve the probability of a large number of defective products in the process of product delivery.” Bezos said gnashing his teeth, because at the beginning of 2008, due to the bad reviews from users, the order volume decreased rapidly... In fact, these orders did not disappear out of thin air, but almost all of them were transferred to the fresh food business platform of Amazon in the East.

After all, after experiencing online shopping for fresh products, for some users, online shopping is indeed more convenient and comfortable than going shopping by car. In fact, they really need online shopping for fresh products, but they just need a more reliable service provider. .

With the reduction in orders, the fresh food business, which was already unable to make ends meet, has completely become a wound. Wanbao Pavilion has to pay a huge amount of operating costs every day, but the income is not much at all. This business will only continue. Bloodletting Wanbao Pavilion.

At the beginning, Wanbao Pavilion announced that it would continue to reduce the fresh food business, but it still kept losing money. In the end, it announced very simply that it would completely abandon all the fresh food business sections. up.

And this was also a very fatal blow to Wanbao Pavilion, which caused the stock price of Wanbao Pavilion to plummet, which further led to the disintegration of Wanbao Pavilion.

Whenever he thinks of this, Bezos feels extremely uncomfortable. He has obviously tried his best in this business, but for some reason, he has a group of pig teammates.

So Bezos was very helpless at this time and complained to Mrs. Versailles, "It would be great if my partner could be exchanged with Amazon in the East. We only cooperate with high-quality partners like Wal-Mart and hand over those damn teammates to me." Qiangdong Liu, so the final winner is me!"

"I'm afraid that's not the case, is it?" Ms. Versailles, who had been listening but didn't answer, suddenly said.

And he directly refuted Bezos as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Bezos a little embarrassed, but Mrs. Versailles went on to say, "As far as I know, the source of Wal-Mart's employees is actually the same as that of other supermarkets. The training their employees receive is even worse than other supermarkets, because Wal-Mart pays employees cheaper wages, so the real situation of these employees may be even worse, and they are full of complaints about Wal-Mart itself.”

"However, the amazing thing is that these employees love Eastern Amazon very much. They even praised Eastern Amazon as the greatest company in the world, and Qiangdong Liu is the best president in the world. Although Eastern Amazon is in every Wal-Mart store There are special tally clerks in the interior, but all Wal-Mart employees, whether they are in charge of cashier or tally in the mall or those in charge of the warehouse, are very enthusiastic and proactive towards Eastern Amazon. They often work on Eastern Amazon , When they are too busy, they take the initiative to help, help them tally and pack, and when they encounter insufficient inventory, they even take the initiative to call and invite drivers from other stores to deliver the missing goods to help Oriental Amazon Complete the order!" Madame Versailles said.

"This is impossible!" Bezos was stunned when he heard this, and he opened his mouth involuntarily. There is such a perfect teammate in the world?

"These are what I saw with my own eyes, and what I heard with my own ears!" Madam Versailles said earnestly, "I have spent most of my life with the people at the bottom, living with them and feeling what they feel pain."

"Many of these people are employees of supermarkets like Wal-Mart. When I chat with them, they often chat with me about various things in life and work. At the same time, I often participate in their work. In the process, I further experienced their lives and saw many facts with my own eyes.”

"So I can assure you, Mr. Bezos, what I just said is the truth, and this is the situation at the grassroots level!"

"It's impossible, why? Why are they so good to Eastern Amazon?" Bezos opened his mouth and said to himself in disbelief.

"Because the Eastern Amazon did not ignore them, and gave them great respect, and the most important practical benefits!" Mrs. Versailles did not hide it, and directly used the set of things made by the Eastern Amazon, such as the weekly inherent I told Bezos all the happy team building activities, etc., and Bezos was stupid again.

"Did they do it for free?" Bezos asked foolishly.

"Of course it will cost money, but it's not much, about 8000 million US dollars per month!" Mrs. Versailles said lightly.

"8000 million is not much..." Bezos retorted.

"That's better than you losing tens of billions!" Mrs. Versailles made Bezos speechless in one sentence, and then went on to say, "The 8 million dollars is well spent, because now the whole life is worthless." The fresh food business can bring more than 000 million US dollars in profit to Amazon East every month, and the total profit is still growing.”

The words of Mrs. Versailles left Bezos speechless, and Mrs. Versailles continued, "I have read all your information, and you are still very strong in general. The only problem is that you are too high-ranking. I can’t see it, or I don’t bother to see the situation at the grassroots level.”

"Of course, this problem is not limited to you. Leaders all over the United States have the same problem, so I want to tell you that your failure is actually based on your ignorance of the grassroots!"

"You know how you mess up your fresh food business? On the one hand, your competitors are doing too well, and on the other hand, you're killing yourself."

"You tried every means to persuade those supermarkets to offer an employee to be your tally clerk to help you pack and deliver the goods. But you don't understand that it is impossible for those supermarkets to be willing to add an employee The salary is here to help you, so they will only order one employee to work as a tallyer!"

"The work of these employees is not easy on weekdays, and now suddenly there is another one who has to help you pack and tally, and run around in the warehouse. Do you think he will be grateful to you, or will he be grateful to you? Do you hate it to the bone?"

"Then the products you are responsible for delivering often have all kinds of defective products, is it understandable?" Bezos was sweating profusely when Mrs. Versailles said.

And Bezos is worthy of being Bezos, he quickly understood where he was wrong, and sincerely said thank you to Mrs. Versailles.

Mrs. Versailles nodded, and then said, "I think your pig teammates should not only be those supermarkets."

"Yes!" Having said this, Bezos smiled wryly again, and said through gritted teeth, "That's right, my biggest pig teammate is not Shangchao, but Goldman Sachs, and their logistics company!"

As I said before, even if Wanbao Pavilion does not engage in fresh food business, their normal e-commerce business is also the number one in the United States.

However, they met the first pig teammate in history, the two companies FedEx and United Express in the United States.

I won’t talk about the pitfalls of these two companies. After all, it has been mentioned before. Anyway, although Wanbao Pavilion has a huge advantage in normal business, with the continuous rapid expansion of Oriental Express under the jurisdiction of Eastern Amazon, when the At the beginning of 2008.

Wanbaoge gave up its fresh food business, but Oriental Amazon officially announced that it has completed its national layout, and has its own express outlets in major cities and towns across the country.

This speed seems exaggerated, but it is actually the brilliance of Amazon's long-standing layout.

Previously, through cooperation with Wal-Mart, Eastern Amazon quickly established a fresh food business, and at the same time, it also has its own outlets in almost all cities and towns in the United States.

Of course, at the beginning, this branch could only rely on Wal-Mart's logistics and work as a terminal delivery person, but as Amazon in the East continued to receive various investments, and then purchased a large number of cars and set up a transport fleet, it began to grow in an unimaginable way. speed expanded.

After all, the various outlets have been established, and what Orient Express needs to do is to connect these outlets together with cash.

Especially later, Eastern Amazon discovered that traditional car transportation was actually a bit unable to meet the actual situation in the United States, so they simply acquired dozens of airlines in one go, built a huge domestic air transportation network, and directly used airplanes to Transport some express delivery with high timeliness.

All in all, at the beginning of 2008, except for some people who stayed in the countryside, almost all the people in the United States could see the outlets of Orient Express locally. The number and density of these outlets were no less than those of FedEx and FedEx. United Express.

Then it is inevitable that the three courier companies will be compared together, and then they will be directly GG.
