It is worth noting that many people don’t know that Amazon China has a close relationship with Lei Jun.
Lei Jun founded Joyo.com in 1999, focusing on software downloads. In May 2000, it transformed into a book, audio and video e-commerce business. In September 2004, it was acquired by Amazon for US$75 million. This is the origin of Amazon China.
More than a year after the acquisition was completed, Amazon's database system began to be used to replace Joyo's previous system. This replacement process took three years, making Amazon China's IT system the most leading system in the industry.
In 2007, Excellence was renamed "Excellence Amazon", and in 2011 it was renamed "Amazon China" again. It took seven years to slowly erase the traces of Excellence.
