- 7:54And
- 7:55this
- 7:55has
- 7:55been
- 7:55a
- 7:55strategy
- 7:56of
- 7:56Google's
- 7:56for
- 7:56a
- 7:57really
- 7:57long
- 7:57time.
- 7:57They've
- 7:58wanted
- 7:58to
- 7:58own
- 7:58the
- 7:58shopping
- 7:59operating

- 8:00There's
- 8:01this
- 8:01famous
- 8:01meeting
- 8:02that
- 8:02Doug
- 8:02McMillan
- 8:03had
- 8:03with
- 8:03Larry
- 8:04and
- 8:04Sergey
- 8:04where
- 8:05they're
- 8:05like,
- 8:05no,
- 8:05we'll
- 8:05just
- 8:06have

- 8:07and
- 8:07you
- 8:07can
- 8:07fulfill.
- 8:08Right.
- 8:09And
- 8:09so,
- 8:09so
- 8:10this
- 8:10has
- 8:10been
- 8:10a
- 8:10strategy
- 8:10for
- 8:11a
- 8:11long
- 8:11time.
- 8:11This
- 8:11is
- 8:12probably
- 8:12one
- 8:12of
- 8:12the
- 8:13better
- 8:13ways
- 8:14that
- 8:14they've
- 8:14tried
- 8:14to
- 8:14execute
- 8:15this.
- 8:16And
- 8:16you
- 8:16know,
- 8:17we
- 8:17have
- 8:17known
- 8:18as
- 8:18we've
- 8:18looked
- 8:18at
- 8:19retail
- 8:19for
- 8:20a
- 8:20long
- 8:20time
- 8:20that
- 8:20this
- 8:21is
- 8:21where
- 8:21it's
- 8:21moving.
- 8:21It's
- 8:22not
- 8:22going
- 8:22to
- 8:22be
- 8:22website
- 8:23versus
- 8:23website
- 8:23anymore.
- 8:24It's
- 8:24going
- 8:24to
- 8:24be
- 8:25ecosystem
- 8:25versus
- 8:25ecosystem.
- 8:27So
- 8:27where
- 8:27retailers
- 8:28own
- 8:28the
- 8:28transaction
- 8:29today
- 8:29Google's
- 8:30trying
- 8:30to
- 8:30own
- 8:31the
- 8:31decision
- 8:31and
- 8:31there's
- 8:32a
- 8:32lot
- 8:32of
- 8:32money
- 8:32if
- 8:32they
- 8:32can
- 8:33do

- 8:35if
- 8:35they
- 8:35can
- 8:36do
- 8:36do
- 8:36that.
- 8:36So
- 8:36on
- 8:37this
- 8:37one
- 8:37I
- 8:37think
- 8:37retailers
- 8:38really
- 8:38need
- 8:38to
- 8:38be
- 8:39careful.
- 8:40If

- 8:42payment
- 8:43agents,
- 8:44then
- 8:45retailers
- 8:45risk
- 8:46becoming

- 9:14fully.
- 9:14Yeah,
- 9:15so
- 9:15the
- 9:15reason
- 9:15I
- 9:15asked
- 9:15that
- 9:16question
- 9:16is
- 9:16because,
- 9:16you
- 9:16know,
- 9:16I
- 9:17think
- 9:17it's
- 9:17important
- 9:17to
- 9:17highlight
- 9:17that
- 9:18Google's
- 9:18been
- 9:18trying
- 9:19to
- 9:19do
- 9:19this
- 9:19for
- 9:19a
- 9:19while.
- 9:20They've
- 9:20just
- 9:20never
- 9:21been
- 9:21able
- 9:21to
- 9:21do
- 9:22it.
- 9:22And
- 9:22now
- 9:22to
- 9:22your
- 9:23point,
- 9:23they're
- 9:23trying
- 9:23to

- 9:24angle
- 9:25to
- 9:25make
- 9:25it
- 9:26happen.
- 9:27But
- 9:27again,
- 9:27back
- 9:28to
- 9:28the
- 9:28question,
- 9:28Shelly,
- 9:29do
- 9:29you
- 9:29think,
- 9:29relative
- 9:30to
- 9:30Amazon,
- 9:31that
- 9:31consumers
- 9:32are
- 9:32actually
- 9:32going
- 9:32to
- 9:33gravitate
- 9:34towards
- 9:34doing
- 9:35it
- 9:35the
- 9:35way
- 9:35this
- 9:36is
- 9:36being
- 9:37purportedly
- 9:37described?
- 9:38What's
- 9:38your
- 9:38take
- 9:39there?
- 9:39I
- 9:39think
- 9:40it
- 9:40could
- 9:40be
- 9:40interesting
- 9:41if
- 9:42Google
- 9:42is
- 9:42able
- 9:42to
- 9:43offer,
- 9:44for
- 9:44instance,
- 9:45the
- 9:46best
- 9:46place
- 9:46to
- 9:46buy
- 9:47something
- 9:47based
- 9:47on
- 9:47the
- 9:48price
- 9:48that
- 9:48it
- 9:48is.
- 9:49Like
- 9:49you
- 9:49said
- 9:49earlier,
- 9:50it's,
- 9:51it's
- 9:51looking
- 9:52at
- 9:52the
- 9:52price
- 9:52history
- 9:53of
- 9:53things.
- 9:53I
- 9:54also
- 9:54think
- 9:54it
- 9:54could
- 9:55be
- 9:55interesting
- 9:55if
- 9:55it
- 9:55pairs
- 9:56like
- 9:57depending
- 9:57on
- 9:57what
- 9:57credit
- 9:58card
- 9:58you
- 9:58usually
- 9:58use,
- 9:59what's
- 9:59the
- 9:59best
- 9:59place
- 10:00to
- 10:00buy
- 10:00something
- 10:00when
- 10:01and
- 10:01with
- 10:01your
- 10:02credit
- 10:02card
- 10:02discount.
- 10:03So
- 10:03if
- 10:03it
- 10:03can
- 10:03optimize
- 10:04all
- 10:04of
- 10:04these
- 10:04things
- 10:05for
- 10:05consumers,
- 10:05I
- 10:06think
- 10:06it
- 10:06could
- 10:06be
- 10:06very
- 10:06interesting.
- 10:07But
- 10:07is
- 10:08that
- 10:08easily
- 10:08duplicatable
- 10:09in
- 10:09other
- 10:10places
- 10:10that
- 10:11are
- 10:11ecosystem
- 10:12driven,
- 10:12like
- 10:12a
- 10:12Walmart,
- 10:13like
- 10:13an
- 10:13Amazon?
- 10:14Those
- 10:14are
- 10:14the
- 10:14biggest
- 10:15questions.
- 10:16And
- 10:16ultimately
- 10:17Google
- 10:18doesn't
- 10:18control
- 10:19delivery,
- 10:19they
- 10:19don't
- 10:20control
- 10:21the
- 10:21fulfillment
- 10:22piece.
- 10:22And
- 10:22so,
- 10:23you
- 10:24know,
- 10:24we
- 10:24are
- 10:24seeing
- 10:24consumer
- 10:25confidence
- 10:25really
- 10:26build
- 10:26when
- 10:27they
- 10:27can
- 10:27be
- 10:27trusted
- 10:27for
- 10:28delivery
- 10:28and
- 10:28quality
- 10:29and
- 10:29all
- 10:29those
- 10:29things.
- 10:30And
- 10:30Google
- 10:30doesn't
- 10:31own
- 10:31any
- 10:31part
- 10:31of
- 10:31that
- 10:31process.
- 10:32So
- 10:32there's
- 10:32a
- 10:32high
- 10:32likelihood
- 10:33that
- 10:33things
- 10:33could
- 10:33be
- 10:34inconsistent.
- 10:35So
- 10:35I
- 10:35think
- 10:36that
- 10:36there
- 10:36are
- 10:36some
- 10:36risks
- 10:37there.
- 10:37But
- 10:37again,
- 10:37this
- 10:37is
- 10:38the
- 10:38very
- 10:38beginning
- 10:38and
- 10:38I'm
- 10:39sure
- 10:39they're
- 10:39thinking
- 10:39through
- 10:39all
- 10:40of
- 10:40these
- 10:40things,
- 10:41right?
- 10:41100%.
- 10:42Yeah,
- 10:42100%.
- 10:42And
- 10:42I'm
- 10:43glad
- 10:43I
- 10:43asked
- 10:43you
- 10:43that
- 10:43because.
- 10:43Yeah.
- 10:44And
- 10:44we
- 10:44talked
- 10:45about
- 10:45the
- 10:45payment
- 10:45side
- 10:45last
- 10:46week
- 10:46with
- 10:46Laura
- 10:46Kennedy

- 10:53I
- 10:53think,
- 10:54I
- 10:54think
- 10:54this
- 10:54is
- 10:54this.
- 10:55It's
- 10:55definitely
- 10:55a
- 10:56threat
- 10:56to
- 10:56Amazon,
- 10:56to
- 10:56your
- 10:56point.
- 10:57Like,
- 10:57it's
- 10:57definitely

- 10:57threat.
- 10:58It's

- 30:37Most
- 30:37likely
- 30:37because
- 30:38the
- 30:38clock
- 30:38is
- 30:38ticking.
- 30:39We

- 30:57there's
- 30:57two
- 30:57ways
- 30:57for
- 30:57Walmart
- 30:58to
- 30:58grow.

- 31:07times,
- 31:08Walmart,
- 31:08you
- 31:09know
- 31:09that's
- 31:09probably
- 31:09the
- 31:10biggest
- 31:10competitive
- 31:10point.
- 31:11This
- 31:12is
- 31:12Walmart
- 31:12really
- 31:13making

- 31:18to
- 31:19into
- 31:19the
- 31:19Walmart
- 31:20ecosystem.

- 34:46why?
- 34:47And

- 34:47not,
- 34:48why
- 34:48not?
- 34:49Well
- 34:49speaking
- 34:49for,
- 34:50I'll
- 34:50just
- 34:50speak
- 34:50generally
- 34:51for
- 34:51any
- 34:51brand.
- 34:52Okay.
- 34:54Renting
- 34:55technology
- 34:55is
- 34:56smart.
- 34:56Compromising
- 34:57your
- 34:57customer
- 34:58relationship
- 34:59is
- 34:59very
- 34:59dangerous,
- 35:00especially
- 35:00with
- 35:01somebody
- 35:01as
- 35:01big
- 35:01as
- 35:01Amazon
- 35:02with
- 35:02the
- 35:02resources
- 35:03that
- 35:03they
- 35:03have.
- 35:04So
- 35:04I
- 35:04would
- 35:05probably
- 35:05use
- 35:06Amazon
- 35:06technology
- 35:07to
- 35:07learn,
- 35:08but
- 35:08that's
- 35:09about

- 35:09So
- 35:09I
- 35:10wouldn't
- 35:10want
- 35:10Amazon
- 35:11controlling
- 35:11my
- 35:11long
- 35:12term
- 35:12customer
- 35:12experience.
- 35:13But
- 35:13this
- 35:13is
- 35:14really
- 35:14where
- 35:14every

- 35:15has

- 35:16kind
- 35:16of
- 35:16answer
- 35:16this
- 35:17question.
- 35:17And
- 35:17I
- 35:17think
- 35:17this
- 35:17is
- 35:18the
- 35:18biggest
- 35:18question
- 35:18over
- 35:19the

- 35:22intelligence
- 35:23layer
- 35:23for
- 35:24your
- 35:24company?
- 35:24And
- 35:24right
- 35:25now
- 35:25we
- 35:25have
- 35:26Google,
- 35:27Amazon,
- 35:28OpenAI,
- 35:29or
- 35:29is
- 35:30it
- 35:30going
- 35:30to
- 35:30be
- 35:30yourself?
- 35:31And
- 35:32each
- 35:32retailer
- 35:33or
- 35:33brand
- 35:33is
- 35:33going
- 35:33to

- 35:36what's
- 35:36going
- 35:36to
- 35:36be
- 35:36most
- 35:37beneficial.
- 35:38But
- 35:39if
- 35:39I
- 35:39had
- 35:39the
