《財富》水晶球:2014全球大事預(yù)測
????亞馬遜將收購USPS ????連續(xù)7年凈虧損,,聽起來跟亞馬遜投資的其他初創(chuàng)公司非常相似,。只不過,我們討論的是一家2013財年虧損高達(dá)50億美元的機(jī)構(gòu),,沒錯,,它就是美國郵政總局(U.S. Postal Service,簡稱USPS ),,亞馬遜將宣布其免費(fèi)收購計劃,。郵政工會勢必會竭力反對;無人機(jī)大概會在空中竊喜不已(不,,這一幕不會也不可能在2014年發(fā)生,。但USPS在2020年前私有化的幾率恐怕就沒這么小了)。 ????概率: 22%,。 |
????Amazon.com will buy the post office ????Seven straight years with a net loss. Sounds a lot like other startups Amazon has invested in. Except we're talking about a fiscal 2013 loss of $5 billion, and we're also talking about the U.S. Postal Service, which Amazon announces it will buy for, well, free. Unions are up in arms; drones rejoice. (No, this won't and can't happen in 2014. But the odds of the USPS getting privatized by 2020? Hey, not that small ...) ????Odds: 22%. |
