00:00Clearly, there are challenges, but TAMU isn't standing still.

00:08It's exploring a new business model that might reduce the impact of import duties.

00:14Sellers would have to manage their own shipping, warehousing, and logistics.

00:19Meanwhile, TAMU would take care of pricing, customer services, and of course, marketing.

00:26These would have to cover more costs, so they may want to hike their prices.

00:31It's not clear how shoppers would respond if TAMU allowed that.

00:35It's also trying to find ways to cut delivery times.

00:39Reports suggest it's in talks with suppliers who have storage facilities in the US and

00:44European Union.

00:46That could narrow the gap between TAMU and Amazon.

00:50Either way, TAMU is a massive success story.

00:53It's connected Western shoppers with China, home to the world's biggest manufacturing

00:58sector.

00:59That means more choice for the consumer, especially when it comes to price.

01:05Europe and the US have battled to contain inflation for the last few years.

01:10TAMU has offered some relief during tough times.

01:13It's also forced its competitors to think twice.

01:17For example, Amazon has been working on ways to ship some products directly from China

01:23to consumers in the US and Europe.

01:25That would reduce the need for warehousing, marking a shift from its traditional model.

01:31All of that could play into the hands of consumers, giving them more choice and cheaper products.

01:38Bottom line, TAMU means business.

01:41But business is always changing, and it will have to think fast.

01:46Because let's face it, you can afford a lot of things when you're a billionaire business,

01:52but being slow isn't one of them.
