good news and one bad news, not sure which one Bezos wants to hear first.</p><p>The good news is that Fortune magazine recently released the 2021 list of the world's top 500 companies.<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a>(AMZN) ranked third with a revenue of US $386.064 billion. There is only a revenue difference of US $600 million between it and the second place State Grid of China. This is also the first time that Amazon has rushed into the top three on the list.</p><p>The bad news is that Amazon's second quarter report at the end of last month was unsatisfactory, with net sales of 113.1 billion yuan lower than the market average expectation of 119.2 billion yuan.</p><p>At the same time, Amazon was also fined 746 million euros by Luxembourg's National Data Protection Commission (CNPD) for processing personal data that did not comply with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).</p><p>Affected by this, Amazon's stock price plummeted, and its market value evaporated by nearly one trillion yuan. As of press time, the stock price was reported at US $3,341.87 per share the day before.</p><p><h2>Fined by the EU and investigated by the United States</h2>The penalty for Amazon's data privacy breach is still only a preliminary decision. According to Bloomberg News, Amazon Inc. was fined 746 million euros by EU regulators for violating EU data protection regulations, which will be the largest data privacy breach fine ever imposed by the EU.</p><p>However, this amount is likely to be \"discounted\". Amazon has decided to appeal the decision. After receiving the news of the penalty, Amazon said that the fine was \"unfounded\" and decided to appeal the decision and vigorously defend itself on this issue.</p><p>Aotou Finance learned that the EU's \"General Data Protection Regulation\" was promulgated in 2018. This regulation restricts the right of enterprises to use personal user data. According to this regulation, enterprises collect user data, or enterprises collect user data with the user's consent. Any failure to delete data in time after achieving the purpose will constitute an illegal act.</p><p>Amazon's investigation stems from a complaint against Amazon by a French privacy protection organization in 2018. The organization believes that Amazon's advertising system is not established on the basis of users' independent consent, which obviously violates the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation.</p><p>In fact, this is not the first time Amazon has been fined for user data problems. In December last year, Amazon's French website was fined 35 million euros by the French National Information and Freedom Commission for storing users' personal information without their permission.</p><p>In addition to potentially facing huge fines in Europe, Amazon is also in constant trouble in the United States. According to The Information, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has launched an investigation into Amazon's $8.45 billion acquisition of MGM. The investigation period may last for 6 months or more, which means that Amazon cannot complete the acquisition of MGM in a short time. Goldwyn's acquisition.</p><p>Lena Kahn, the current chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, is a staunch critic of Amazon. She has criticized Amazon's business model more than once. It is foreseeable that the Federal Trade Commission will continue to \"find trouble\" with Amazon, and Amazon may not have an easy life in the future.</p><p><h2>50,000 Chinese sellers blocked</h2>Amazon's turmoil in Europe and the United States stems from the pressure of regulatory authorities, while the turmoil in China comes from its own decision-making.</p><p>Since May this year, Amazon has closed the stores of 50,000 Chinese sellers on the platform, and many domestic companies mainly engaged in cross-border e-commerce have been affected.</p><p>According to the statistics of Shenzhen cross-border electronic commerce Association, in more than two months from May, the amount of industry losses is estimated to exceed 100 billion yuan.</p><p>It is understood that the large-scale closure of Chinese sellers is related to the behavior of \"brushing reviews\". The so-called brushing reviews means that merchants attract consumers to give feedback on product reviews on the platform through discounts and rebates after selling goods. This basic operation of domestic e-commerce industry has become an illegal behavior in Amazon's view.</p><p>On June 16 this year, three stores under Zebao were suspended from sales by Amazon due to suspected comments; On July 6, Youkeshu announced that 340 of its stores were blocked and 130 million yuan of funds were frozen due to violation of Amazon platform rules. The number of banned stores accounted for about 30% of Youkeshu, which affected 1,400 employees of Youkeshu and forced to resign.</p><p>Regarding the large-scale store closure, Amazon said in an open letter to all sellers, \"All along, Amazon's policy clearly requires sellers not to abuse comments. Recently, we suspended the sales authority of some sellers. Amazon will not easily make the decision to suspend the seller's account, and we know that it is not easy for every seller to establish and operate a business. However, Amazon's attitude towards non-compliant operations is firm and consistent.\"</p><p>Although the premise of the ban is that Chinese sellers have indeed violated the relevant platform rules, in the eyes of many people in the industry, Amazon's behavior is somewhat \"too severe\".</p><p>\"The situation of title banning occurs every year, but it is the first time that it has been dealt with on such a large scale without warning or foreshadowing. This also reminds China's cross-border e-commerce companies that doing overseas business must comply with local regulations and customs. Domestic experience cannot be copied mechanically.\" A person who has long observed the e-commerce industry told Aotou Finance.</p><p>On the 22nd of last month, the Ministry of Commerce also responded to this matter. Li Xinggan, director of the Foreign Trade Department of the Ministry of Commerce, said at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office that, on the whole, this is a problem in the development of new foreign trade formats, a staged \"acclimatization\" and a \"growing pains\".</p><p><h2>The growth rate of e-commerce is lower than expected, and the profit margin of cloud business is capped again</h2>Some people think that the vigorous title against Chinese sellers is a manifestation of the new official's three fires. In February of this year, Bezos announced that he would transfer power this summer, and Andy Jesse, CEO of Amazon's cloud computing department, would become his successor. On the 5th of last month, Andy Jesse officially took over the leadership of Amazon.</p><p>However, it can be seen from Andy Jesse's first financial report after taking office that the first fire of the new official has not yet started.</p><p>At the end of July, Amazon released its second quarter financial report for fiscal year 021. The financial report shows that Amazon's revenue in the second quarter of this year was US $113.080 billion, a year-on-year increase of 27%, and a year-on-year increase of 24% excluding the impact of exchange rate changes; Net profit was US $7.778 billion, a year-on-year increase of 48%. Both figures were slightly lower than previous analysts' estimates of $115.2 billion and $7.8 billion.</p><p>In terms of core e-commerce business, Amazon's performance is also unsatisfactory. The financial report shows that Amazon's revenue from e-commerce in the second quarter was US $53.157 billion, an increase of 16% compared with US $45.896 billion in the same period last year, and a year-on-year increase of 13% excluding the impact of exchange rate changes.</p><p>This data is also lower than the previous analyst estimate of US $57.35 billion, and this growth rate is also the lowest growth rate of Amazon's e-commerce business since 2019.</p><p>The \"pot\" of reduced growth rate is thrown on the head with too high base. On the earnings call, Amazon Chief Financial Officer Brian Olsavsky said the growth rate was mainly due to the high base last year, and he also expected the revenue growth rate to continue to slow down in the next few quarters.</p><p>According to Amazon's estimates, its third-quarter revenue will be between US $106 billion and US $112 billion, with a median outlook of US $109 billion, a year-on-year increase of 13.4%. In other words, the slowdown of Amazon's growth in the third quarter will continue.</p><p>Although Amazon's cloud business revenue exceeded analysts' estimates of $14.2 billion, reaching $14.81 billion, a year-on-year increase of 37%, the business's profit margin stayed at 28.3%, the lowest level since the epidemic.</p><p>Olsavsky said on the earnings call that AWS's profit margins are facing tremendous downward pressure and are affected by many uncontrollable factors.</p><p>Previously, many people regarded AWS as a driver to improve Amazon's performance<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/000876\">New Hope</a>, but as far as the current performance is concerned, AWS still needs to work hard to improve profit margins, not to mention the EU's fine on Amazon's data security. Although the final penalty has not yet been formed, this is a huge blow to Amazon's business reputation. There are still variables in the future development.</p>","source":"lsy1599124843211","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Amazon enters an eventful year</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nAmazon enters an eventful year\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n<p class=\"head\">\n<strong class=\"h-name small\">鳌头财经</strong><span class=\"h-time small\">2021-08-10 17:23</span>\n</p>\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>One good news and one bad news, not sure which one Bezos wants to hear first.</p><p>The good news is that Fortune magazine recently released the 2021 list of the world's top 500 companies.<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a>(AMZN) ranked third with a revenue of US $386.064 billion.

Information的报道，美国联邦贸易委员会（FTC）对于亚马逊84.5亿美元收购米高梅一案已经展开调查，调查期可能会持续6个月及以上，这意味着亚马逊无法在短时间内完成对米高梅的收购。\n美国联邦贸易委员会的现任主席莉娜·卡恩是坚定地亚马逊批评者，她曾不止一次对亚马逊的经营模式提出过批评，可以预见的是，接下来美国联邦贸易委员会将会不断的对亚马逊“找麻烦”，亚马逊接下来的日子或许不会好过。\n五万中国卖家被封\n亚马逊在欧洲和美国的风波源于监管部门的压力，在中国的风波则来自自身的决策。\n今年5月份开始，亚马逊对平台上的五万中国卖家进行了封店，不少国内主营跨境电商的企业受到了影响。\n根据深圳市跨境电子商务协会统计，从5月开始的两个多月时间内，行业损失金额预估超过千亿元。\n据了解，此次中国卖家大范围遭到封店与“刷评论”行为有关，所谓刷评论既商家售出商品后通过优惠、返利等形式吸引消费者在平台上反馈商品评论，这种国内电商行业的基本操作，在亚马逊看来则成了违规行为。\n今年6月16日，泽宝旗下的三家店铺因疑似有刷评论行为，被亚马逊暂停销售；7月6日，有棵树则发布公告称因违反亚马逊平台规则，旗下340家店铺被封，1.3亿元资金被冻结，被封禁的店铺数量占到了有棵树的30%左右，受此影响有棵树1400名员工被迫辞职。\n对于大规模封店的行为，亚马逊在致全体卖家的公开信中表示，“一直以来，亚马逊的政策明确要求卖家不可以滥用评论。近期我们暂停了部分卖家的销售权限。亚马逊不会轻易做出暂停卖家账户的决定，我们深知每位卖家建立和经营一家企业的不易。不过，亚马逊治理不合规运营行为的态度是坚决的，也是一贯的。”\n尽管封禁的前提是中国卖家确实违反了相关的平台规则，在不少业内人士看来，亚马逊的行为有些“过于严厉”。\n“封号的情况每年都会出现，但如此大规模，且没有警告和铺垫的处理还是第一次。这也给中国的跨境电商企业提了个醒，做海外生意要符合当地法规及风俗，不能将国内经验生搬硬套。”长期观察电商行业人士向鳌头财经表示。\n上个月22日，商务部也对此事做出了回应，商务部对外贸易司司长李兴乾在国新办举行的新闻发布会上表示，总体上看，这是外贸新业态发展过程中出现的问题，是阶段性的“水土不服”，是“成长的烦恼”。\n电商增速不及预期，云业务利润率又封顶\n有观点认为，针对中国卖家雷厉风行的封号是新官上任三把火的表现。今年2月份，贝索斯就声明将在今年夏天进行权力交接，亚马逊云计算部门CEO安迪·杰西将成为继任者，上个月5日，安迪·杰西正式接过了亚马逊的领导权。\n但从安迪·杰西上任后的第一份财报可看出，目前新官上任的第一把火暂时还没有烧起来。\n7月底亚马逊发布了021财年第二季度财报。财报显示，今年二季度亚马逊营收1130.80亿美元，同比增长27%，不计入汇率变动的影响为同比增长24%；净利润77.78亿美元，同比增长48%。这两项数据均略低于此前分析师预估的1152亿美元和78亿美元。\n核心电商业务上，亚马逊的表现同样不能令人满意。财报显示，亚马逊第二季度来自于电商的营收为531.57亿美元，与去年同期的458.96亿美元相比增长16%，不计入汇率变动的影响为同比增长13%。\n这一数据同样低于此前分析师预估的573.5亿美元，同时这一增速也是亚马逊电商业务自2019年以来的最低增速。\n增速降低的“锅”甩到了基数太高的头上。在财报电话会上，亚马逊首席财务官布莱恩·奥尔萨夫斯基表示增速主要是因为去年的基数太高，他同时预计未来几个季度的营收增长率将继续放缓。\n根据亚马逊的预估，其第三季度营收将介于1060亿至1120亿美元之间，展望中值为1090亿美元，同比增长达到13.4%。换言之，三季度亚马逊增速放缓的情况仍将持续。\n亚马逊的云业务营收尽管超过了分析师预估的142亿美元，达到了148.1亿美元，同比增长了37%，但该业务的利润率停留在了28.3%，为疫情以来最低水平。\n奥尔萨夫斯基在财报电话会上表示，AWS的利润率面临着巨大的下行压力，受到很多不可控因素的影响。\n此前，不少人士将AWS视作拉动亚马逊业绩提升的新希望，但就目前表现来看，AWS仍需要在提升利润率上下功夫，更不要忘记欧盟对于亚马逊数据安全的罚款，尽管最终处罚还未形成，但这对于亚马逊的商业信誉是巨大打击，AWS的未来发展仍存在变数。","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AMZN":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1373,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":896248663,"gmtCreate":1628588085152,"gmtModify":1703508634467,"author":{"id":"4087278144146960","authorId":"4087278144146960","name":"kahwai980831","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9c948a2e623e4c1863149b0e4941b726","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4087278144146960","idStr":"4087278144146960"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"green","listText":"green","text":"green","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/135e48d557966f3969bd63c53c5f9393","width":"1125","height":"3420"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/896248663","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":668,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":810272499,"gmtCreate":1629984763711,"gmtModify":1676530192161,"author":{"id":"4087278144146960","authorId":"4087278144146960","name":"kahwai980831","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9c948a2e623e4c1863149b0e4941b726","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087278144146960","authorIdStr":"4087278144146960"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

good news and one bad news, not sure which one Bezos wants to hear first.</p><p>The good news is that Fortune magazine recently released the 2021 list of the world's top 500 companies.<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a>(AMZN) ranked third with a revenue of US $386.064 billion. There is only a revenue difference of US $600 million between it and the second place State Grid of China. This is also the first time that Amazon has rushed into the top three on the list.</p><p>The bad news is that Amazon's second quarter report at the end of last month was unsatisfactory, with net sales of 113.1 billion yuan lower than the market average expectation of 119.2 billion yuan.</p><p>At the same time, Amazon was also fined 746 million euros by Luxembourg's National Data Protection Commission (CNPD) for processing personal data that did not comply with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).</p><p>Affected by this, Amazon's stock price plummeted, and its market value evaporated by nearly one trillion yuan. As of press time, the stock price was reported at US $3,341.87 per share the day before.</p><p><h2>Fined by the EU and investigated by the United States</h2>The penalty for Amazon's data privacy breach is still only a preliminary decision. According to Bloomberg News, Amazon Inc. was fined 746 million euros by EU regulators for violating EU data protection regulations, which will be the largest data privacy breach fine ever imposed by the EU.</p><p>However, this amount is likely to be \"discounted\". Amazon has decided to appeal the decision. After receiving the news of the penalty, Amazon said that the fine was \"unfounded\" and decided to appeal the decision and vigorously defend itself on this issue.</p><p>Aotou Finance learned that the EU's \"General Data Protection Regulation\" was promulgated in 2018. This regulation restricts the right of enterprises to use personal user data. According to this regulation, enterprises collect user data, or enterprises collect user data with the user's consent. Any failure to delete data in time after achieving the purpose will constitute an illegal act.</p><p>Amazon's investigation stems from a complaint against Amazon by a French privacy protection organization in 2018. The organization believes that Amazon's advertising system is not established on the basis of users' independent consent, which obviously violates the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation.</p><p>In fact, this is not the first time Amazon has been fined for user data problems. In December last year, Amazon's French website was fined 35 million euros by the French National Information and Freedom Commission for storing users' personal information without their permission.</p><p>In addition to potentially facing huge fines in Europe, Amazon is also in constant trouble in the United States. According to The Information, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has launched an investigation into Amazon's $8.45 billion acquisition of MGM. The investigation period may last for 6 months or more, which means that Amazon cannot complete the acquisition of MGM in a short time. Goldwyn's acquisition.</p><p>Lena Kahn, the current chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, is a staunch critic of Amazon. She has criticized Amazon's business model more than once. It is foreseeable that the Federal Trade Commission will continue to \"find trouble\" with Amazon, and Amazon may not have an easy life in the future.</p><p><h2>50,000 Chinese sellers blocked</h2>Amazon's turmoil in Europe and the United States stems from the pressure of regulatory authorities, while the turmoil in China comes from its own decision-making.</p><p>Since May this year, Amazon has closed the stores of 50,000 Chinese sellers on the platform, and many domestic companies mainly engaged in cross-border e-commerce have been affected.</p><p>According to the statistics of Shenzhen cross-border electronic commerce Association, in more than two months from May, the amount of industry losses is estimated to exceed 100 billion yuan.</p><p>It is understood that the large-scale closure of Chinese sellers is related to the behavior of \"brushing reviews\". The so-called brushing reviews means that merchants attract consumers to give feedback on product reviews on the platform through discounts and rebates after selling goods. This basic operation of domestic e-commerce industry has become an illegal behavior in Amazon's view.</p><p>On June 16 this year, three stores under Zebao were suspended from sales by Amazon due to suspected comments; On July 6, Youkeshu announced that 340 of its stores were blocked and 130 million yuan of funds were frozen due to violation of Amazon platform rules.

There is only a revenue difference of US $600 million between it and the second place State Grid of China. This is also the first time that Amazon has rushed into the top three on the list.</p><p>The bad news is that Amazon's second quarter report at the end of last month was unsatisfactory, with net sales of 113.1 billion yuan lower than the market average expectation of 119.2 billion yuan.</p><p>At the same time, Amazon was also fined 746 million euros by Luxembourg's National Data Protection Commission (CNPD) for processing personal data that did not comply with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).</p><p>Affected by this, Amazon's stock price plummeted, and its market value evaporated by nearly one trillion yuan. As of press time, the stock price was reported at US $3,341.87 per share the day before.</p><p><h2>Fined by the EU and investigated by the United States</h2>The penalty for Amazon's data privacy breach is still only a preliminary decision. According to Bloomberg News, Amazon Inc. was fined 746 million euros by EU regulators for violating EU data protection regulations, which will be the largest data privacy breach fine ever imposed by the EU.</p><p>However, this amount is likely to be \"discounted\". Amazon has decided to appeal the decision. After receiving the news of the penalty, Amazon said that the fine was \"unfounded\" and decided to appeal the decision and vigorously defend itself on this issue.</p><p>Aotou Finance learned that the EU's \"General Data Protection Regulation\" was promulgated in 2018. This regulation restricts the right of enterprises to use personal user data. According to this regulation, enterprises collect user data, or enterprises collect user data with the user's consent. Any failure to delete data in time after achieving the purpose will constitute an illegal act.</p><p>Amazon's investigation stems from a complaint against Amazon by a French privacy protection organization in 2018. The organization believes that Amazon's advertising system is not established on the basis of users' independent consent, which obviously violates the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation.</p><p>In fact, this is not the first time Amazon has been fined for user data problems. In December last year, Amazon's French website was fined 35 million euros by the French National Information and Freedom Commission for storing users' personal information without their permission.</p><p>In addition to potentially facing huge fines in Europe, Amazon is also in constant trouble in the United States. According to The Information, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has launched an investigation into Amazon's $8.45 billion acquisition of MGM. The investigation period may last for 6 months or more, which means that Amazon cannot complete the acquisition of MGM in a short time. Goldwyn's acquisition.</p><p>Lena Kahn, the current chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, is a staunch critic of Amazon. She has criticized Amazon's business model more than once. It is foreseeable that the Federal Trade Commission will continue to \"find trouble\" with Amazon, and Amazon may not have an easy life in the future.</p><p><h2>50,000 Chinese sellers blocked</h2>Amazon's turmoil in Europe and the United States stems from the pressure of regulatory authorities, while the turmoil in China comes from its own decision-making.</p><p>Since May this year, Amazon has closed the stores of 50,000 Chinese sellers on the platform, and many domestic companies mainly engaged in cross-border e-commerce have been affected.</p><p>According to the statistics of Shenzhen cross-border electronic commerce Association, in more than two months from May, the amount of industry losses is estimated to exceed 100 billion yuan.</p><p>It is understood that the large-scale closure of Chinese sellers is related to the behavior of \"brushing reviews\". The so-called brushing reviews means that merchants attract consumers to give feedback on product reviews on the platform through discounts and rebates after selling goods. This basic operation of domestic e-commerce industry has become an illegal behavior in Amazon's view.</p><p>On June 16 this year, three stores under Zebao were suspended from sales by Amazon due to suspected comments; On July 6, Youkeshu announced that 340 of its stores were blocked and 130 million yuan of funds were frozen due to violation of Amazon platform rules. The number of banned stores accounted for about 30% of Youkeshu, which affected 1,400 employees of Youkeshu and forced to resign.</p><p>Regarding the large-scale store closure, Amazon said in an open letter to all sellers, \"All along, Amazon's policy clearly requires sellers not to abuse comments. Recently, we suspended the sales authority of some sellers. Amazon will not easily make the decision to suspend the seller's account, and we know that it is not easy for every seller to establish and operate a business. However, Amazon's attitude towards non-compliant operations is firm and consistent.\"</p><p>Although the premise of the ban is that Chinese sellers have indeed violated the relevant platform rules, in the eyes of many people in the industry, Amazon's behavior is somewhat \"too severe\".</p><p>\"The situation of title banning occurs every year, but it is the first time that it has been dealt with on such a large scale without warning or foreshadowing. This also reminds China's cross-border e-commerce companies that doing overseas business must comply with local regulations and customs. Domestic experience cannot be copied mechanically.\" A person who has long observed the e-commerce industry told Aotou Finance.</p><p>On the 22nd of last month, the Ministry of Commerce also responded to this matter. Li Xinggan, director of the Foreign Trade Department of the Ministry of Commerce, said at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office that, on the whole, this is a problem in the development of new foreign trade formats, a staged \"acclimatization\" and a \"growing pains\".</p><p><h2>The growth rate of e-commerce is lower than expected, and the profit margin of cloud business is capped again</h2>Some people think that the vigorous title against Chinese sellers is a manifestation of the new official's three fires. In February of this year, Bezos announced that he would transfer power this summer, and Andy Jesse, CEO of Amazon's cloud computing department, would become his successor. On the 5th of last month, Andy Jesse officially took over the leadership of Amazon.</p><p>However, it can be seen from Andy Jesse's first financial report after taking office that the first fire of the new official has not yet started.</p><p>At the end of July, Amazon released its second quarter financial report for fiscal year 021. The financial report shows that Amazon's revenue in the second quarter of this year was US $113.080 billion, a year-on-year increase of 27%, and a year-on-year increase of 24% excluding the impact of exchange rate changes; Net profit was US $7.778 billion, a year-on-year increase of 48%. Both figures were slightly lower than previous analysts' estimates of $115.2 billion and $7.8 billion.</p><p>In terms of core e-commerce business, Amazon's performance is also unsatisfactory. The financial report shows that Amazon's revenue from e-commerce in the second quarter was US $53.157 billion, an increase of 16% compared with US $45.896 billion in the same period last year, and a year-on-year increase of 13% excluding the impact of exchange rate changes.</p><p>This data is also lower than the previous analyst estimate of US $57.35 billion, and this growth rate is also the lowest growth rate of Amazon's e-commerce business since 2019.</p><p>The \"pot\" of reduced growth rate is thrown on the head with too high base. On the earnings call, Amazon Chief Financial Officer Brian Olsavsky said the growth rate was mainly due to the high base last year, and he also expected the revenue growth rate to continue to slow down in the next few quarters.</p><p>According to Amazon's estimates, its third-quarter revenue will be between US $106 billion and US $112 billion, with a median outlook of US $109 billion, a year-on-year increase of 13.4%. In other words, the slowdown of Amazon's growth in the third quarter will continue.</p><p>Although Amazon's cloud business revenue exceeded analysts' estimates of $14.2 billion, reaching $14.81 billion, a year-on-year increase of 37%, the business's profit margin stayed at 28.3%, the lowest level since the epidemic.</p><p>Olsavsky said on the earnings call that AWS's profit margins are facing tremendous downward pressure and are affected by many uncontrollable factors.</p><p>Previously, many people regarded AWS as a driver to improve Amazon's performance<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/000876\">New Hope</a>, but as far as the current performance is concerned, AWS still needs to work hard to improve profit margins, not to mention the EU's fine on Amazon's data security. Although the final penalty has not yet been formed, this is a huge blow to Amazon's business reputation.
