Chapter 285: gift list

It is precisely because of the Greek debt crisis that has seriously affected the market's confidence in the euro, and has begun to spread to Portugal and Spain, which are weaker euro zone members, thus forcing the euro zone members to take measures to rescue Greece.

Under the bailout package, euro zone member countries are offering loans at about 5 percent, equivalent to half the current Greek bond market rate.

The Eurogroup hopes that the rescue plan will help Greece stabilize public finances and implement economic structural reforms, and allow Greece to re-enter the international bond market for financing.

Eurozone members pledged to provide Greece with the first loan in time to help Greece repay a large debt maturing on July 19.

European markets reacted calmly after the announcement of the rescue plan for Greece.

On July 5, the Greek stock market first rose and then fell, and the stock markets of Germany, France and other countries fell slightly. Analysts believe this is because the plan was expected.

However, some investors remain skeptical that the rescue plan will actually work. Optimistic economists believe that this time the rescue plan will help ease creditors' concerns about a Greek debt default.

But some economists worry that EU member states may end up needing more money to bail out some other member states if the bailout doesn't end up reassuring markets.

Rehn, European Commissioner responsible for economic and monetary affairs, said Greece is an exception and cannot be compared with other countries when answering reporters whether they are prepared to provide similar bailout loans to other euro zone member states.

To put it bluntly, whether it is a stock or other financial investment product, the price often does not depend on its true value, but more on the sentiment of investors, or more specifically, the expectations of the mainstream investment group for its future. .

For a company with exactly the same operating conditions and assets, its stock price may even differ several times when the market is bullish and when the market is generally bearish.

You can't help but admit that in the financial sector, Wall Street controls the world's most powerful media and public opinion tools, and they can easily sway the sentiments of public investors.

But at this time, the attention of more ordinary people around the world has already been placed on the upcoming wedding of William Chen and Ivanta

It is worth mentioning that their attention was not suddenly attracted, but since William Chen and their wedding invitations were sent, they have always stayed there because of the continuous bombardment of social media and news reports.

Why is this so?

In American weddings, there is no custom of following the family like in China. More newlywed couples will provide relatives and friends with a list of gifts they hope to get, most of which are daily necessities. Friends and relatives will choose a gift from them.

The wedding of William Chen and Ivanta showed this form in a very modern way.

In the gift box they accompany the invitation, all invited guests can find an instruction sheet for a gift list.

For convenience and environmental protection, guests can use their mobile phones to download the corresponding APP, scan the code, and enter the gift list of William Chen and Ivanta.

The APPs that guests can choose include Taobao APP in Greater China and Zoom APP in other regions.

After scanning the corresponding QR codes with these two apps, the app will jump to the page of William Chen and Ivanta's gift list. Guests can check the gifts they are going to give, fill in the name of the giver and After the blessing, make payment by Alipay or PayPal, and their gifts will be delivered to the homes of William Chen and Ivanta.

If it is Taobao APP, it will be sent to Yanjia Garden in Modu; if it is Zoom, it will be sent to Long Island Manor in New York.

The list of gifts for William Chen and Ivanta are all items that they can use on a daily basis to avoid waste. Soon, the media exposed their gift list. The price of the gifts is very wide. The most expensive gift is nearly 10,000 US dollars, and the cheapest is only 100 US dollars. All guests can choose gifts according to their financial ability.

However, almost all the guests they invited were not bad for money, at least they would not hesitate to face the items in this gift list, and finally turned into a game of robbing gifts from high to low.

In the selection results as of July 6, the remaining gifts are the cheapest, and the Chanel single headband with the lowest price of $100 has not been selected by anyone.

Interestingly, after this gift list of William Chen and Ivanta was exposed, all the gifts in it, whether it is high-end tableware from the Hermes MosaiqueAu24 series, stainless steel tableware from the French Ercuis brand, or high feet from the William Yoward brand cup, or the brand's sterling silver photo frame

In short, all the brands and supplies on the gift list have exploded in searches on major e-commerce websites around the world. Everyone wants to see the usual supplies of the super rich and why they can sell at such prices.

And many middle-class people with considerable assets will also choose one or two of their favorite purchases to try.

Now these brands are equivalent to doing a free advertisement all over the world, and they are so happy to sponsor William Chen and their wedding utensils.

Of course, William Chen would definitely not accept it. He never thought that this gift list would be exposed in such detail, but fortunately, he was prepared. Only by scanning the QR code on the APP can he place an order to give himself a gift, and Each guest's QR code is unique and expires immediately after use.

And their invitation letter is accompanied by a proprietary QR code for Taobao APP and Zoom APP. Once one of them is used, the other will be invalid at the same time.

Otherwise, there may be a good person who scans the QR code from the Internet to give him a gift, and then he does not know how many gifts he will receive. After all, Chen William has fans all over the world, especially the fanatical female fans, I really don't know how many.

Of course, there is no shortage of people who are depressed and complain after seeing this gift list.

"I usually use a 2-dollar bag of headbands, but Ivanta uses a $100 single-piece Chanel headband, and poverty limits my imagination.

"Upstairs, the key is that this headband is too cheap, and no one chooses to give it. Do you feel more sad??"

"William Chen's assets are more than 30 billion US dollars, and my total assets are not more than 300,000 Chinese dollars, so even the most expensive gift of 10,000 US dollars, in his opinion, should be just a dime in my eyes, that is, Upstairs, there is a headband in a pack of headbands for 2 yuan. It's all right:

Of course, in addition to the manufacturers of supplies in the gift list, the ones that benefit the most are Taobao APP and ZoomAPP, as well as the corresponding Alipay and PayPal.

This wave of traffic has directly caused the downloads of the two to soar, because not only guests will download the two to give gifts, but also the melon eaters who are many times larger than the guests will also download these two apps. One of them, to check the list of gifts for William Chen's wedding, and the process of checking, which greatly increased the popularity of these two apps, especially Zoom.

Zoom has now covered half of the states in the United States, and the other half is in full swing. Guests and those who are melon eaters who are within the scope of their service after downloading Zoom will inevitably try to buy some items, and this is the first time to try shopping in this way, which is often the most rare. If you get a satisfactory shopping Experience, it is likely to become a loyal user of Zoom because of this.

At the same time, the QR code application co-operated by Meta R&D Center and Alipay also shined in this event. Soon everyone liked the convenient way of jumping by scanning the QR code. Meta Group, which scans the QR code to scan the patent, has benefited a lot.

However, there are joys and troubles The most troublesome is of course Amazon. The sudden emergence of Zoom makes them feel threatened. Zoom has been developing slowly and steadily before, and the user experience displayed at this time also made Amazon CEO Bezos have to admit that Zoom may be one of Amazon's biggest competitors in the future.

In addition to Amazon, Jingdong's Dadongzi is also a little unhappy. He is also his own shareholder. Why didn't Chen William let Jingdong also appear in the invitation letter? Compared with Taobao, Jingdong needs this kind of exposure even more. Woolen cloth.

This time William Chen's wedding also invited him. When he saw the description page of the gift list at the back of the invitation letter, he felt a little bad. Sure enough, Taobao gained a lot of traffic.

Depressed, he couldn't help but called Chen William to talk about it.

"Haha, after all, I need to use a QR code this time. Jingdong is not ready yet. Don't worry, I will definitely find you next time." After listening to Chen William's words, Dadongzi felt a little better.

Suddenly, he realizes that something is not right.... next time??
