Can "business-to-business e-business + commercial outsourcing" model succeed?

The business model experts who often focus on international trade and Internet development are now focusing on the emerging concept of "International business Outsourcing". The cause is a company to provide international business outsourcing services international institutions, the Times first (Timesfirst) in a short period of two years quietly form a scale, and the present paragraph of the e-commerce model brings a certain impact, industry experts are expressing concern.

International business outsourcing in China, and even around the world are new things, the Times first put forward the so-called "Business-to-business international E-commerce + commercial Outsourcing services = International Business Outsourcing", whether to achieve success? Even in the opinion of experts, this question may not be able to have a definitive answer in the present.

"Business-to-business International E-commerce + Business Outsourcing Services" International business outsourcing model is the world's first

The essence of the first business model of the Times is succinctly summed up in the following three sentences:

First, the time of the first international trade in the field of international Business outsourcing Services (International marketing outsourcing, international procurement outsourcing, international sales outsourcing) is a new branch of the International Service outsourcing industry, currently in the international still in a relatively blank state, Timesfirst is the first professional agency in China to provide global business outsourcing services to international trade.

Second, at the same time, the Times first has a very innovative characteristics of the enterprise industry Competitiveness Ranking mechanism (Timesfirst ranking) Global Corporate E-commerce platform timesfirst.com, the Times first will be committed to the timesfirst.com as the world's largest free business-to-business E-commerce platform.

Third, the time of the first "free business-to-business E-commerce platform" combined with "offline International Business Outsourcing Services" business model represents a new international business-to-business business model (International b2b2.0 model), but also to the traditional international business-to-business model challenges and beyond, the overall business model has a broad market prospects.

Can such a business model succeed enough?

Times first CEO Zheng that the era of the first Timesfirst is not a simple e-commerce platform. More than 1000 of the world's existing E-commerce platform, such as Alibaba, the global market, Hong Kong, EC21, Korea, and so on, they are to provide online membership transaction services for the operation mode, it represents the b2b1.0 model. The first Timesfirst mode of operation is to integrate global international trade resources and information based on a completely free e-commerce platform (timesfirst.com) with international industry Competitiveness Ranking mechanism (Timesfirst ranking). And based on the powerful information platform for global buyers and sellers to provide international marketing outsourcing, international procurement outsourcing, international sales outsourcing Services, which represents the b2b2.0 model.

The first business model created a brand new business-to-business model (b2b2.0) and created a whole new industry, and the Times first Timesfirst also had the honor of becoming the first company in the world to do business in this field. The new business model is already having a huge impact on these traditional e-commerce platforms in areas where their business is currently covered.

Zheng said that the era is not the traditional business-to-business e-commerce, they do is beyond the traditional business-to-business e-commerce business, which is the first in the world. At present, no company in the world and their business has a positive and comprehensive competition.

International business outsourcing still captures the trend of global economic development

Business model determines the success or failure of enterprises, traced back to the historical trend of development and determines the success or failure of the business model.

The first International Business outsourcing service model in the field of international trade, from the global economic development and China's economic trend should have a huge market prospects and considerable potential to dig.

With the increasingly sophisticated international division of labor and the growing sophistication of modern communication tools, more and more companies have opted to transfer their non-core, high-cost or inefficient projects to low-cost or efficient enterprises. In the field of international trade, more and more enterprises are beginning to realize the importance of reducing cost and improving competitiveness in operation, so they begin to seek outside specialized company to carry out some work in order to improve efficiency or reduce cost, and devote their main resources to the construction of core competence of enterprises.

China's manufacturing exports have entered a new stage of development after more than 10 years of development. At this stage, opportunities and challenges coexist, on the one hand, Chinese-made products have been universally recognized by international consumers, but on the other hand, the increase of trade friction and the appreciation of RMB exchange rate, export enterprises are facing more and more competitive pressure. In the new stage of development, the export-oriented enterprises need to change from the market strategy which only depends on the price war to become the strategy of accumulating higher competitive ability. In the new competitive environment, those who pay attention to the international image of enterprise specialization, pay attention to customer relationship maintenance, focus on the initiative of the supplier will be more than those who rely solely on price and OEM survival of enterprises have greater development space. Therefore, China's export-oriented enterprises really need a professional platform to build these business competitiveness. However, the existing Business-to-business E-commerce platform, trade fairs and procurement catalogs and other traditional international trade platform can not provide these personalized export-oriented enterprises can quickly improve the competitiveness of their enterprises. This is bound to generate new services and market space, from these points of view, The Times first (Timesfirst) is to seize this business opportunity.

A free strategy for business-to-business E-commerce platforms may be controversial

Zheng firmly believe that Timesfirst represents a new international b2b2.0 business model, is the traditional international business-to-business E-commerce model beyond.

The development of the traditional international business-to-business E-commerce platform is facing the restriction of the buyer's limited resources, that is, the resources of international buyers are relatively fixed, but the number of supplier members is increasing, and the problem of gruel and spreading effect is decreasing. At the same time, the traditional international business-to-business E-commerce platform needs to be profitable , in order to ensure profitability, will continue to raise fees. As a result, there are more and more charges, but the spread of the effect of increasingly poor this irreconcilable contradictions. And when the traditional business-to-business E-commerce platform can not solve the above development bottleneck, and can not guarantee the effectiveness of the supplier promotion, its revenue by collecting membership fees to profit from the business model will be timesfirst represent the international b2b2.0 model of free E-commerce Platform challenge.

    Timesfirst provides a completely free online membership service, which gathers a large number of buyers and sellers resources, and then provides fee-based value-added services in the event of large resources gathering as the main profit channel. This new international business-to-business model, because of its online service is completely free, it will attract a large number of members from the traditional E-commerce platform to join, thus the traditional business-to-business E-commerce platform has a huge impact. One of the salient features of the Internet market is that no matter how angry the original model is, and how powerful it is now, always be careful, because a new adversary may emerge at any time, even if it is not well known, and its innovative technology or services can be a serious threat to the old model, even if it has no financial resources. Microsoft's face to Google today is a lot of embarrassment, is a memorable revelation. Therefore, the international b2b2.0 model represented by Timesfirst.com will become the future development trend of business-to-business e-business.
