2019-06-10 18:00 - 20:00 | Welcome Centre Immigrant Services – Richmond Hill, 9325 Yonge Street #31a, Richmond Hill, ON, L4C 0A8, Canada
Presentation Language: Farsi

Ms. Golnaz Safa, is a Financial analyst, a graduate of the University of York, Financing, and approved by the ICO (Initial Coin Offering) on encrypted currencies. The experience of a decade and practical work in various finance departments and FINTECH is here to present valuable content to the audience.

Abstract:
Put simply, blockchain is a new way of storing information. You can think of it as a shared virtual ledger owned by users (callednodes) on the blockchain network. Any change to that ledger – if someone transfers money or updates a legal contract, for example – is cryptographically verified and then reflected across the entire network, visible to everyone.
Blockchain is the ultimate enemy of bureaucracy. With the use of smart contracts, pieces of code that automate manual processes, blockchain can remove middlemen from a lot of traditionally complex tasks, like buying a house or sending money abroad. The result is a cheaper, faster and more transparent technological framework for the most important industries in society.

Presentation Language: Farsi
Lecturer: Peyman Sheykhghasemi
Civil engineer and first-grade professional engineer in design and execution, but he is proud of his ALBORZ high school graduation more than engineering.
Current job in Canada:
Town-house and Semi-Detached houses in Ottawa, working on 9 houses in his recent projects
Amazon Seller: There is a possibility that I stop my construction business and invest only in Amazon business.
For a couple of years, he was a supplier of intelligent traffic systems (ITS) in Iran for road ministry and municipalities, also importer of printing and advertising machinery.
He started 3 online projects besides his sales representative position which one of them was Amazon in 2017.
Abstract:
A brief explanation of the Amazon business model:
Amazon has provided a system that helps products/services providers to offer their products to buyers. Amazon helps them to deliver their products to buyers and collect money. Amazon owns almost 30 percent of the products and the rest belongs to the third party sellers.
How did I start my first successful project on Amazon?
All started because of my interest and attending expensive workshops in Toronto.
What do we need to start a successful Amazon business?
Interest and love in the nature of trade, patient, computer use, operating abilities, and problem-solving.
How much we need?
I can say with less than a thousand dollars we can start this business and the interesting point is that the amount of money is not an important fact in this space.
The process for cheap or expensive of any kind of different products category is the same and the very interesting fact is: when you start this business correctly, your only challenge would be the inventory because of the high amount of sales. This is the most important challenge that almost all new starters faced too.
How Amazon is different than traditional methods and its advantages?

Low investment cost
300 million buyers
No need to employee, storage, shipping and accounting services.
24/7 warehousing, customer services, accounting, and sales services.
