Amazon faces challenges from China B2C


Media reports, China Alibaba B2B giant will soon launch a small wholesale trade platform (B2C Wholesale Channel), the future business model which can rule whether the market is unknown, is B2B, B2C, C2C or B2C wholesale?

The world's richest man - Bill Gates 70 years in the last century once said, "After 30 years, each family will have a computer." And he built Microsoft's windows operating system to let him into every household, and his pioneering work proved to be very successful. Similarly, who can predict the next 10 years to 20 years of e-business trend? Business model of the future world will be greatly simplified, as the world's consumers are constantly looking for lower prices, and manufacturers chasing higher profits, these two groups, dealers can get away profits. That can be pursued when there is no profit, dealers will join the manufacturer's sales force, and supply chain will be further simplified. Let us imagine, if one quarter of the population of the world to buy what they need online more than half of office and household goods, then what will happen? Obviously, enough to feed this demand a hundred eBay or Amazon.

At present, China is the world's number one factory; the factory gave birth to two B2C giants, namely DHgate and lightinthebox. But even if the leading two, but then those who are lining up as espow and chinavasion in to occupy the site. DHgate Escrow (third-party payment guarantee) trading patterns, the first time for China and other countries to provide a bridge between the securities of payment. lightinthebox is a user sale of Chinese products to the world's supermarkets. Small wholesale platform Alibaba DHgate network model with relatively similar. If you are a veteran online business, some of these names are not unfamiliar.

Bill Gates predicted that the next will be the world's richest man from China, Ma. Because Bill - Gates first prediction has come true, we can predict that the second will be achieved. Alibaba has its own unique advantages; China is the factory of the world, Ali Baba as the factory gate. This is an advantage enough to beat all the competitors in this area in the next few years; people will gradually forget the old B2B trading platform, such as Globalsource, madeinchina. Era is about to B2B, B2C small wholesale era will come. In short, these new export platform will account for B2C people's attention, such as the Milan net (milanoo.com). Lightinthebox.com, DHgate (dhgate.com) and Alibaba small wholesale platform.

Frankly, these companies have solid footing in the field, even if the size of the network of Milan is still small, is enough to trigger e-commerce revolution. For example a few months ago in Milan Netcom way through coupons to attract buyers, making the actual purchase price of goods is lower than the DHgate and lightinthebox. Why do they do? The reason is very simple; they reduce the profit margins in exchange for worldwide attention. DHgate, lightinthebox Ali Baba and the Milan net will probably herald a turning point in China's wholesale business e-commerce, perhaps only the God can stop them forward. Alibaba B2B transactions in the old factory area are the only door to the world, but in the field of B2C transactions, we can see four potential doors. The future there will be more enterprises to join, making the world more globally oriented factories. This is just a matter of time, we need to do is wait and see.
