The relationship between major e-commerce companies and RE is like a chain store and a shopping mall. From payment to logistics, these traditional e-commerce companies are responsible for providing it, and re only provides a "window". The relationship between the two parties is more similar to one of interdependence.
In fact, Jiang Chen had previously considered starting from scratch, leaving behind those established e-commerce companies, taking over a series of links from payment to logistics, and building Futureren Technology’s own shopping platform. However, after discussing with Xia Shiyu, he gave up this plan.
Future people will build rockets with technology, but there is no need to polish every screw carefully.
In the Future Man Building on Coro Island, wearing a smart OL uniform, Xia Shiyu stood in front of Jiang Chen's desk and reported on the situation of RE. From the excitement faintly revealed on her serious face, Jiang Chen could already feel how gratifying the results of the "VR + e-commerce" plan that had been brewing for more than half a year were.
"...According to feedback from the North American branch, in the first week of RE's launch, the total transaction volume of Amazon shopping increased by 18%, and the RE platform accounted for 40% of this week's transaction volume. eBay's transaction volume also increased by 13%, and the two e-commerce platforms The merchant immediately proposed an additional cooperation agreement to us, hoping that we could relax product review and speed up the store's move into the virtual reality environment."
Jiang Chen leaned on the seat comfortably.
"What about the Chinese side?"
A smile appeared on Xia Shiyu's lips, and she continued.
"Taobao's transaction volume increased by 28% compared with last week, and JD.com's 34%."
Don't underestimate this 28% increase. Although it includes many factors such as natural growth and online marketing, the entire sales base is very huge. Taking Taobao alone, Taobao’s annual transaction volume in 2015 was 3 trillion! And since the past 10 years, it has maintained an increase 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 still exceeded 4 trillion. Now that the artifact re has suddenly appeared, I am afraid that Taobao's transaction volume is expected to exceed 5 trillion 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 number was not shocking enough, so she added, "1.2 billion US dollars."
After recovering from the shock, Jiang Chen smiled sheepishly and touched his nose.
"...If you didn't tell me, I would have thought it was Vietnamese Dong."
1.2 billion a week, is this more than just a money printing machine? The money printing machine can't print so fast!
What’s even more staggering is that this 1.2 billion is still an after-tax income. Although the scanning fee for one million items contributed more than half, the figure of 1.2 billion still shocked Jiang Chen. You know, Alibaba only has a net profit of more than 7 billion a year. Looking at global e-commerce, it can already be ranked at the top. It took only one week for Future Group's re to achieve results that Alibaba needed a quarter to achieve!
What if we wait until re grows up
In order 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 on the hot spring island>
From beginning to end, this RE is a VR program independently developed by these modern technicians using the development tools provided by Jiang Chen. For Futureman Group, this is undoubtedly a big step towards technological independence.
For now, among the entire Future People Group, only Future People Technology has achieved this.

The first reaction of those with vested interests when new things appear is to reject them. The second reaction is to stop them. The third reaction is to think about how to adapt to the trend of the times and make changes. However, when they start to think about changes, they are three times too late. They often have no choice but to be eliminated by the times.
Bentonville, Arkansas, USA, is home to the headquarters of Walmart, the world's largest retailer.
This legendary retail company has an almost legendary history of fortune. When Fortune magazine released the 2007 list of the world's top 500 companies, Wal-Mart topped the list with a turnover of US$351.139 billion, retaining 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 the 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 structure.
"Which idiot rejected Futureman Technology's proposal? We could have taken a ride on RE."
"It was the vote of the board of directors, Mr. Catherro." eo Macmillan stood up and responded to the director who had accused him.
"Oh? So what you're saying is that everyone here is stupid?"
"Don't get me wrong, I definitely didn't mean it, Mr. Cathello. Unless you admit it yourself."
"you!"
dong dong dong
The sound of tapping 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 the table with his knuckles and glanced at the two of them with his cloudy yet sharp eyes.
"We have more important things to do than argue, don't we?"
The elderly head of the Walton family had high prestige in the board of directors. Seeing the old Walton speak, all the directors looked at each other and quickly stopped their meaningless quarrel. MacMillan spread his hands and opened his mouth, but finally said nothing and sat back obediently.
Yes, Walmart rejected Future Tech.
Wal-Mart also operates its own e-commerce website, and its scale ranks among the top three in the United States. However, half a year ago, they did not accept the "VR + e-commerce" concept proposed by Futureman Technology. The reason is very simple. Walmart 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 to use the VR platform at all.
No American is familiar with the products on Wal-Mart's shelves.
In addition, if Wal-Mart supermarket appears in the virtual reality platform, it will definitely have a big impact on the sales of Wal-Mart's physical stores.
Facts have proved that this decision was wrong.
Whether they are willing to accept it or not, sales at Wal-Mart's physical stores will be hit by RE. The refusal to check in re also caused their market share in the e-commerce platform to be lost to Amazon and eBay.
"We were originally at a disadvantage when facing Amazon, but now RE has directly pushed us into the bottom. Not only Amazon, but also eBay are trying to distance themselves from us." One director shook his head and said.
"It's not too late to make up for it now. I will go to the new country in person, and I will ask my secretary to book a ticket for tomorrow for me later," MacMillan said.
"Isn't it too late? Even if we change our tune now and ask Future People Technology to let us join RE, do you think we can immediately board the virtual reality platform?" Cathello, who had previously argued with him, sarcastically said, "Scan 800,000 It took more than half a year to produce the product. Now that we have added it, I don’t know how many stores are queuing up. Maybe by this time next year, Wal-Mart products will appear on RE’s shelves?”
It's impossible for others to put their partners aside and let you, a latecomer, jump in, right
"I'll convince him," MacMillan said seriously.
"ha"
Catherro was about to make a mockery, but the chairman, Mr. Walton, did not give him a chance to speak and forcibly interrupted his speech.
"You don't need to book a ticket, I'll lend you my plane. You don't have to wait until tomorrow, you can go today."
Holding his breath, MacMillan nodded seriously.
"yes!"-
