Sales of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd's e-commerce business are expected to surpass those of the total retail e-commerce market in the United States by year-end, Alibaba's chairman said on Friday.Partially by changing from B2B to B2C, and then diversifying into, well everything... Let's break that down...
Alibaba's e-commerce empire includes Alibaba.com, Taobao Mall and Taobao Marketplace. Taobao Mall and Taobao Marketplace recorded 1 trillion yuan ($163 billion) in total transactions last year.OK, so it is eBay and Amazon.com combined...
In the finance business, Alibaba has made loans to more than 10 million small to medium-sized enterprises in China and provided 300 million customers with payment-related services.and banking and credit cards combined...
The company is also working with partners to build a national logistics network.And Fedex and UPS combined...
Alibaba on Friday signed an agreement with China's biggest fixed-line network operator, China Telecom, for a strategic partnership in areas including basic telecommunication services, mobile Internet, cloud computing and data centers.And AT&T, Sprint, Comcast combined.... This is just unwise, having so much under one roof... it will become unwieldly and customer service nightmare. Best to stick with the old-fashioned approach to B2B.
