The day after Deep Space Company’s announcement appeared, a notice also appeared on Amazon’s homepage. The website will be updated three days later. After this update, Amazon users can link their accounts with Star Cards.
Binding.
After binding, users can use Deep Space Points to purchase goods on the website.
Although this announcement did not revive Amazon's stock, users were very happy. For Amazon users, they only care about whether they can buy what they want on Amazon and whether the quality of the products can be guaranteed.
Whether the price is reasonable or not, they don't care at all whether the company's stock rises or falls.
After Amazon joins the Deep Space Points Program, users have one more payment option when shopping. If they have enough points, shopping will become more convenient.
In addition to convenience, the Deep Space Company's activities this time are very strong, and one hundred billion points have been issued one after another. Previously, because the establishment speed of the Deep Space Points system could not keep up, even if people in many places got the point cards, the ways to use them were very difficult.
few.
But things are different now. No matter where you are, as long as you have access to the Internet, you can use the points earned through the Amazon website. In this way, the benefits previously issued by the Deep Space Company have become more practical.
…
A few days later, a personal tribe on Deep Space Tribe attracted attention.
Nick, who was previously famous for writing the "Deep Space Tribe Operation Guide", is now a super internet celebrity with millions of followers. He is also one of the first users to be qualified to upload videos.
There is a video in his new blog. The content of the video is very simple, about how to use Deep Space Points to purchase goods on Amazon.
After the Amazon website was updated, Nick immediately tied his Star Card and Amazon account together, and then used points to buy a shirt on the website. He recorded the entire purchase and receipt process, and
Gave some explanations.
"If you want convenience, of course I would recommend you to use deep space points to purchase goods. In fact, if you choose to purchase with points, you only have to move your fingers and wait for the goods to be delivered to your home. Save money.
It eliminates a lot of tedious processes and also avoids the embarrassment of payment failure.”
"The total price of this shirt is fifteen US dollars, which is not cheap, and buying it with points requires twelve thousand five hundred points. Under normal circumstances, if you want to get so many points, you probably need to spend one dollar at a store that cooperates with Shenzhen Space.
It only costs 1,500 US dollars, which is obviously a headache."
"As far as I know, Deep Space currently does not have the business of using cash to directly exchange Deep Space points, so in addition to consumption, if you want to get more points, you may have to think of some special methods. For example, there are some
There will be a lot of points in the store that cannot be used up, and you can use cash to buy them from the bookstore. In addition to the store, some individuals also have points in their hands, and they can all be traded. All the points I got when I bought the shirts were with a person.
My friend redeemed it. He is a lucky guy. He was selected by the Deep Space Company and got a lot of points. However, he doesn't seem to be very interested in online shopping, and he usually can't spend many points, so he is willing to exchange the points for me. If you
If you have a friend like this, congratulations, you will be the first lucky person to enjoy the fun of shopping with points. Oh, of course, it is also possible that you are the lucky person who won the deep space point prize."
Obviously, the main content of Nick's video is not to teach people how to use points to purchase goods, but to promote how convenient it is to use points to purchase goods, while also telling netizens some "side ways" to obtain points.
Due to various reasons, Deep Space Company does not want to let go of the business of directly exchanging cash for points for the time being, but it does not want users to have no points in their hands, so it asked Internet celebrities like Nick to come forward and tell them these heresies.
Netizens also paid attention to the key points.
[This video came very timely. I am worried that I don’t have points in my hand and can’t use points to purchase goods.]
[Why doesn’t Deep Space directly open the exchange between cash and points? 】
[Of course it’s because it’s too much work, but I think deep space will be opened in the future.]
[Maybe it’s from a safety perspective. 】
[Yes, I have heard about some online payments before, and they seem to have security issues. 】
[Actually, I think Deep Space doesn’t want to make money from us, it just wants to use the Star Card to give us benefits.]
[Man, Deep Space is indeed a very good company, but it would be too naive to say that they don’t want to make money.]
【As long as it’s good for me, it doesn’t matter whether it makes money or not.】
[I am in Manhattan, is there anyone with a lot of points who is willing to transfer them to me? 】
[Go to Little Bear Bookstore. Their bookstore has a lot of points. I just redeemed 500,000 points from their store today, which is enough for me to use for a while.]
[Why does Little Bear Bookstore have so many points?]
[Maybe it’s because they import a lot of books.]
[I am in Los Angeles and have a million points in my hand. If you need it, I hope you can give it all to one person.]
【Upstairs, I’m talking to you.】
【Brother, why do you have so many points?】
[Because I have won many Werewolf Championships, and now Werewolf Club competitions use deep space points as prizes...]
[Not just Werewolf, but all competitions in the Deep Space series use Deep Space Points as prizes. I won more than four million Deep Space Points for a software design competition, and I had thought about transferring them to other parties before.
, but now that Amazon has joined the Deep Space Project, I am not going to transfer it. I should be able to use up these four million points.】
[In this situation, issuing points seems to be no different from issuing money.]
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! [There is still a difference, at least it can't help me pay my credit card bill.]
[You give me your points and I will help you pay your credit card bill, haha.]
[I heard that WCG regional competition players will also pay deep space points, and there are quite a lot of them.]
[Old news, WCG’s online competitions have long used deep space points as prizes, and I still got some. In fact, there are many ways to obtain points on Battle.net, and Blizzard often organizes activities.]
[If you want to get points, you still have to go to the YU Umbrella Association. The association often holds various activities and gives out a bunch of points.]
[That’s right, the YU Umbrella Association has now given up their own points model and fully adopted the deep space points model. The points issued by the association are now much more useful than before. 】
[What kind of existence is the YU Umbrella Association? Why are they so powerful? 】
…
In the office of the President of Deep Space America, Jimmy held his chin and thought for a long time after listening to the assistant's report.
Adding Amazon to the Deep Space Points program has had a more positive impact on the implementation of the entire program than he had previously expected, and users are not repelled by this payment method at all.
In fact, when users use Shen Kong Points to purchase goods, Shen Kong Company does not receive any direct income. They do not charge any handling fees. Of course, there is no possibility of making money out of thin air. Every point consumption of people
Ultimately it will be up to the Deep Space Company to deliver.
But in the process, Deep Space Company gained huge cash flow.
People are no longer satisfied with just using the points they received for consumption, and are thinking of ways to redeem points. At this time, people have to take their money and find places like Little Bear Bookstore to exchange points.
Although Little Bear Bookstore purchases a lot of goods, the points it earns are limited, so the points they transfer to customers are actually issued to them by Deep Space Company.
Users give money to Little Bear Bookstore, and Little Bear Bookstore will settle the payment to Shen Kong Company in a few days, and the money can stay in Shen Kong's account for seven to fifteen days. It can even stay longer when encountering some special transactions.
.
The YU Association is also an important organization for redeeming points.
The current YU organization is no longer just a reading club. They are involved in many industries, various industries, and hold many activities. All of their industries use deep space points for transactions.
For example, the YU Umbrella Association and Little Bear Bookstore jointly organized an event. In this event, Little Bear Bookstore was responsible for providing the venue, while the YU Association was responsible for providing manpower.
Association members will voluntarily participate in activities, and after completing their work, they can receive "remuneration" paid to them by the association, but this remuneration is deep space points.
When the Deep Space Company issued these points to the YU Umbrella Association, the association had already transferred the cash to the Deep Space Company's account. How long the money will stay in the Deep Space Company's account depends on the
When will members who hold these points spend these points and where will they spend them?
For example, if a member spends points in the Little Bear Bookstore, Deep Space will pay the money to the Little Bear Bookstore a week later. In this way, the YU Association's money can stay in the Deep Space Company's account for at least a week.
.
Under normal circumstances, the money can actually last longer.
With such a huge cash flow, the Deep Space Company can make money in whatever it does with it.
However, the emergence of Deep Space Points actually absorbs Amazon's cash flow, because customers pay points at Amazon, but Amazon needs to wait seven days to get cash from Deep Space.
Of course, for the time being, point payment does not account for a large proportion of Amazon's total turnover, so the impact on their cash flow is not particularly large.
Moreover, even if it does have a relatively large impact on their cash flow, from Amazon's perspective, they are still willing to join the points program, because this will allow them to acquire more new users and increase their turnover.
Although Amazon has just joined the Deep Space Points Program not long ago, there is data proving that people who often use points to purchase goods increase their consumption frequency by 35%, and their total consumption increases by 40%.
More, because shopping with points is more convenient.
"How is the point system set up in various stores now?" Jimmy asked again.
"Basically, there are 600 new additions every day, mainly in bookstores and movie theaters," the assistant replied.
Jimmy nodded. This speed was not very fast, but it was still acceptable.
After thinking for a while, Jimmy asked again, "How is the situation over there in Cat's Sky?"
The assistant changed the folder and continued to report, "All procedures have been completed. Stores No. 6, 7, and 8 are under preparation. They will be open for business in a month at most."
"Have the staff of these three stores been deployed?"
The assistant nodded, "It's ready and ready to take office at any time."
"Well, please pay attention to the situation with the pets. If there is anything special, just tell me."
"Okay, they haven't had anything special recently. The funds raised from the previous IPO are enough for them to use for a period of time. Of course, now that Amazon's stock continues to fall and the Internet industry is in overall decline, it is impossible for them to raise funds again.
"
The situation of pets was as Jimmy expected. He smiled and continued to ask, "Where is BenQ Dentsu? What is the current situation of the merger between Daqi Optoelectronics and Lianyou Optoelectronics? Have they developed a feasible plan?
?”
Of course, the first thing Deep Space Company did after acquiring BenQ Dentsu was not the BenQ talent plan, but the merger of its subsidiaries Daqi Optoelectronics and Lianyou Optoelectronics.
In order to have a complete production line, Shenzhen Space Company hopes to buy Lianyou Electronics, a subsidiary of Lianhua Electronics, and then merge it with Daqi Optoelectronics to form a new company.
UMC is very interested in the merger, but they are unwilling to sell Lianyou directly to Deep Space Corporation. Instead, they hope that the two companies will jointly operate the new company. The two parties have been discussing specific plans.
Jimmy also prefers two companies to jointly hold shares, so that both parties share risks, and deep space spends less money and can also reduce operating pressure.
Merging a new company is a very troublesome matter, and it may take longer than Deep Space's merger with BenQ Dentsu. However, Jimmy still hopes to complete the merger within this year, and then merge the newly merged company next year or the year after.
Go public and get the first shot before other companies in the same industry.
After asking about BenQ Dentsu, Jimmy asked about Google, "What's going on with Google recently?"
"Now that the Internet industry is being criticized, their lives are not easy, but it's nothing special."
Jimmy stretched his arms. He was not too worried about Google. He was quite optimistic about Google's development.
Taking a step back, even if Google's development is not very good, the impact on them will be relatively small, because Deep Space only spent 20 to 30 million US dollars to obtain 10% of Google's shares. Even if all this money is lost,
It doesn't hurt your muscles and bones even in deep space.
