亚马逊退出中国 又一美国巨头退出中国市场
据路透社消息，亚马逊宣布将在7月中旬关闭中国国内市场业务。很多人用惯了京东，可能对亚马逊没有那么了解。新东方网留学频道在此和大家介绍一下亚马逊及其在中国的发展历程。
Amazon is the largest e-commerce marketplace and cloud computing platform in the world as measured by revenue and market capitalization. Amazon.com was founded by Jeff Bezos on July 5, 1994, and started as an online bookstore but later diversified to sell video downloads/streaming, MP3 downloads/streaming, audiobook downloads/streaming, software, video games, electronics, apparel, furniture, food, toys, and jewelry. The company also owns a publishing arm, Amazon Publishing, a film and television studio, Amazon Studios, produces consumer electronics lines including Kindle e-readers, Fire tablets, Fire TV, and Echo devices, and is the world's largest provider of cloud infrastructure services (IaaS and PaaS) through its AWS subsidiary. Amazon has separate retail websites for some countries and also offers international shipping of some of its products to certain other countries. 100 million people subscribe to Amazon Prime.
按收益和市值计算的话，亚马逊是全球最大的电子商务和云计算平台。Amazon.com网站由杰夫·贝索斯(Jeff Bezos)于1994年7月5日创建，最初销售图书，后提供视频、音频下载及流媒体服务，并扩展到电子游戏、家具、食品、玩具、珠宝等等。同时亚马逊还拥有一个出版商Amazon Publishing，电影电视工作室Amazon Studios，并生产电子阅读器Kindle，平板电脑Fire tablets，电视Fire TV等等。亚马逊目前是全球最大的云基础设施服务提供商。
亚马逊在全球16个国家设立了独立的网站域名。其中，亚马逊斥资7000万美元收购中国电商平台卓越网joyo.com.cn，中国亚马逊网站amazon.cn于2004年9月上线。
亚马逊收购卓越网的时候销售额有70亿美元，贝佐斯秉持着要规模不要利润，温和地、按照其全球战略改造卓越。2007年，亚马逊和卓越网对接完成后，卓越网改名为卓越亚马逊，一路在中国市场扩张。
