In the final episode of this three -part summer series on technology, Timo Nijssen talks about the unprecedented fast turnout of Temu, a very cheap Chinese web store that shipped millions of packages a day to Europe and the US. What is the earnings model behind that company? How do this type of online market change the retail trade? And what are the consequences for buyers and sellers? Timo sees how tech and store companies, in a struggle for our attention, are growing more and more towards each other.
