Ma Yun and Wang Jianlin made a bet. Do you remember?

Ma Yun and Wang Jianlin's ten-year contract expires.

In 20 12, Wang Jianlin: "I made a bet with him. In 2022, that is, after 10, if e-commerce accounts for more than 50% of the whole large retail market in China, I will give him 100 million yuan. If it doesn't arrive, he will give me 100 million. I can't make mistakes. "

According to eMarketer's survey data, the e-commerce sales in China will reach 2.779 trillion US dollars in 20021year, accounting for 52. 1% of the whole retail market, significantly higher than 44.8% a year ago. This year, it is estimated that by the end of 2022, this proportion will increase to 55.6%. Although it is only halfway through 2022, the ending should be impossible to change.

Of course, Ma Yun and Lao Wang never imagined that the epidemic situation in recent years has greatly promoted the development of e-commerce in China. Last year, the sales of physical stores in China decreased by 18.6%, and it is expected to decrease by 9.8% this year. In contrast, e-commerce sales increased by 27.5% last year and are expected to increase by 2 1% this year.

Dramatically, Ma Yun, who won the gambling game with confidence in the past, now enjoys retirement ahead of schedule. Lao Wang, who lost the gambling contract, seems to have gradually recovered his vitality after resolutely breaking his arm to survive, and he will still be all-powerful in the business world in the future. Life is impermanent The large intestine covers the small intestine.

I don't know if this small target bet counts.
