After arriving in Hamburg, Jianguo decided to go back as soon as possible and found a hotel to stay in. He did not agree to follow Jing Jian to attend Baron Jung's banquet. Seeing that Jing Jian had more time, he went to the Hamburg branch to learn about the situation of standard e-commerce.

The data on the trial business on the first day can be said to be mixed. Portsmouth's situation is so careless, and the situation in Hong Kong is relatively bad, while Los Angeles' response is unexpectedly good. Through analysis, the main reason is that Hong Kong's credit card popularity is low, and there are no advertisements before the trial business. Many customers are unwilling to deposit money into standard e-commerce accounts (if you have a credit card, you can bind your credit card to an account).

Moreover, there is no popular computer now, and there is no QR code electronic payment. It only relies on the program-controlled telephone system, which is quite low in efficiency and requires a lot of labor. Therefore, William Xiao reported on the side: "Sir, my father sent someone to repeatedly calculate the calculations. If the growth is based on the normal curve, the branches of these three cities will lose $21 million by the end of next year. The potential is tapped to the extreme, and a large number of employees are indispensable, especially in standard logistics. Generally speaking, unless the price is raised, the loss ratio is between 3% and 5%. Mr., the more you sell, the more you lose."

"That's it." Jing Jian smiled slightly when he found that William was anxious. "What's your father's suggestion?"

In fact, Jing Jian had already anticipated this situation. Whether it is shopping experience or product varieties, just a few advertising papers, it is impossible to compare with hypermarkets. It is not that the website has a server, but theoretically, the product varieties can be unlimited. Then the only advantage of standard e-commerce is that the price is much cheaper.

However, if the price goes up, it will be even less likely to compete with hypermarkets. The only way is to bite the bullet and grab the market, that is, burn money!

Sure enough, William Xiao said: "My father thinks, can we increase by 1 or 2%? That way, we will lose less, so we can persist for a longer time and temporarily delay the expansion."

Jing Jian shook his head with a smile: "Let's follow the original plan. If you look at the statements for the first month and meet the pre-order standards, there will be ten cities in North America and ten cities in Western Europe. Don't worry, in extreme cases, we will lose $600 million to $800 million next year, and sales will reach 3 billion. Account balance and reserved interest will be resolved by $50 million. I will let the production bases of Skeleton Sea and China reduce the cost, and it should be able to balance the income and expenditure. The most important thing now is that technological progress is needed. Customers are used to online shopping, and our costs will be greatly reduced."

In fact, Jing Jian is not afraid of burning money. Not to mention anything else, this RMB acquisition war alone had 30 to 4 billion yuan, and then more than one billion East Demark became Sidmark. These two extra money alone had been enough to burn for two years. And it was on the basis of ensuring the profits of Skeleton Sea and domestic factories. Especially the profits of domestic factories were converted from RMB to foreign exchange, which immediately activated the working capital.

In addition, the programmable telephone system is a temporary solution after all. In the near future, it will definitely be able to grab the market and users through the Internet. This is the kingdom of the e-commerce era.

Little William was a little relieved. Like his father Kent, he had some kind of blind admiration for Jing Jian: "Sir, that's good. Do you have any other requirements?"

Jing Jian reminded: "William, your focus during this period is Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. If I am not here and the situation is urgent, I will authorize you to be fully responsible. This opportunity is rare in a thousand years. When everything is over, you will enter the standard management. The online shopping part of White Lotus and Blue Star Network will also be merged into the standard in the future. Kent will be mainly responsible for the group's strategic conference organization, and the company's future will depend on you."

Little William has already been happy: "Sir, you can actually consider financing. Investors nowadays should like such projects. If we raise enough funds, we can also burn money for a longer period of time."

Jing Jian shook his head with a smile: "If you raise funds now, it would be a pity. In fact, the valuable things in the future will be Standard Logistics and the newly established Standard Financial Company in the future. I decided not to go public in these two parts. As for Standard E-commerce and the newly established Standard Investment in the future, the time is not yet available. Of course, you and core employees like Kent will have the right to pay dividends every year, and I will never treat my own people unfairly."

When he heard this, William smiled even more. However, after a while, he was a little worried again: "Sir, do you say Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union really look like you predicted? To be honest, although the situation seems to be getting worse step by step, I am in my heart..."

As soon as I said this, I suddenly heard a cheer sound outside the door. Not long after, on the street outside the window, cheers were heard one after another, and even the sound of car horns kept ringing. It seemed like a miracle, and the entire Hamburg city suddenly boiled and turned into a sea of ​​joy.

Jing Jian and William were shocked and confused. A hurried knock on the door sounded, and the screams of the female secretary came: "Boss, boss, read the news quickly, the Berlin Wall has been pushed down!"

"ha!?"

After a brief shock, William Xiao immediately fell into ecstasy: "Sir, you really hit it. The Berlin Wall fell! The Berlin Wall really fell!"

Jing Jian was also very excited: "Congratulations, congratulations!"

"Congratulations to you too! Hahaha..."

...

On November 9, 1989, a large number of Berlin citizens came to the location of the Berlin Wall, and used tools and even engineering machinery to push down the high wall that had separated the city for more than 40 years. During the whole process, the East German border defense forces stood by and remained indifferent.

On that day, the entire Berlin Wall was dug up to a few kilometers, and a large number of East Germans flocked into West Germany, while West Germans hugged and cheered, shouting slogans such as "freedom" and "unification".

Just as the construction of the Berlin Wall had become a symbol of the beginning of the Cold War, the collapse of the Berlin Wall also became one of the symbols of the end of the Cold War, one of the symbols of the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact, and even became the prelude to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

However, just before the fall of the Berlin Wall, I was skeptical about whether it could succeed or not. As the most powerful and important East Germany in Eastern Europe, many people did not believe that the Soviet Union would give up completely.

However, the Soviet Union really gave up. Their hundreds of thousands of troops in East Germany were silently watching the East German people celebrating outside the military camp. At this moment, how many people collapsed in their faith? How many people were at a loss?

Jing Jian finally waited for this moment. He made careful preparations and invested huge amounts of funds, but before the incident really happened, even if he was a reborn person, how could he not worry?
Chapter completed!
