From the 1969 US Western Sediment Network Arpanet connecting computer equipment in the four universities in California and Utah, and now the network's tentacles are all over the corners of our lives, only less than 40 years. There is no doubt that the Internet is indeed in the most gorgeous medium that has hored. More and more Internet companies have proved that the Internet is not just a tool that can be used to make the same thing in a faster, more money, and its value is not just to cancel the middle business. The important significance is that the Internet has created new value for customers and original manufacturers, and on this basis, leading to larger-scale corporate activities. This is the e-commerce that people often say.
Today, when talking about e-commerce, we always want to use revolutionary words to describe, because we have seen: e-commerce, this kind of advanced information technology is engaged in business activities on the Internet, is being Economic and social life is increasingly influenced. In some aspects, it has envisaged the two industrial revolutions generated by the application of the invention and power of the steam engines. It is worth noting that the speed of the Internet and e-commerce is far more than other important inventions in the history of steam engines, electricity and human history. We know that from electricity discovery to electricity, this has experienced nearly 100 years. After 38 years of the radio born, the number of users reached 50 million. With the same number of users, TV and computers have spent 13 and 16 years, respectively. However, when the Internet is open to the public, only 4 years, the netwant users have exceeded 50 million. When the Internet rapidly changes people's lifestyle, we cannot recognize that e-commerce represents the direction of future trade development.
The generation of e-commerce is the product developed to a certain stage, with a deep era background. The development of high-tech has laid the technical foundation for e-commerce, and the advantages of e-commerce relative to traditional business methods have established its market foundation. From 1999, the commercial e-commerce platform was born. In less than a year, the big and small e-commerce website was like a spring bamboo shoots, risk investment, B2B, B2C and other words were not familiar with the words gradually entered us. life. More and more people look into an e-commerce as a gold mine that is not in Wanli. But this kind of concept, no content, the empty architecture that can only temporarily attract consumers, and then the breakdown of network economic foam, so many people have to re-examine the future of e-commerce. Of the five years, more than 75% of the first generation e-commerce companies or collapse or acquired.
The new life has always taken a twist development process, and the short-term fought of e-commerce has not announced its destruction. In setbacks, e-commerce practitioners continue to sum up experience, learn lessons, and prepare to meet the arrival of a new round of business opportunities. In the fourth quarter of 2001, the largest online retailer Amazon achieved earnings after 7 years of establishment; 2004 domestic Alibaba website was rated as the world's best B2B website this year, and ibrate, Taobao and other auction sites. Hot, let the domestic e-commerce practitioners have seen the e-commerce in winter gradually away from us.
Today's e-commerce has not had a new time, and today's new development is increasingly rapid, and the update of people has added a humanistic basis for e-commerce. Internet companies and their investors are becoming more and more realistic. Investors' investment behavior tend to be cautious, and the raising of venture capital is no longer as easy as before. Consumers have gradually learned the contents of the colorful page and the lyrical media advertisement to examine goods prices and services. In this case, the key to deciding the future e-commerce development should be brand and services, not techniques and hype. Integrity and pragmatic attitude is more than just traditional business indispensable factors, but also the foundation of new e-commerce.
