However, as the largest small commodity wholesale market, Yiwu China Commodity City is actively exploring how to dance with E-commerce, and then embrace e-commerce this trend of unstoppable.
Tangible market and intangible market

In Jinfengping view, the traditional market compared to E-commerce is still a lot of irreplaceable advantages, "professional wholesale market in kind as the basis, see, touch, in the integrity of the system is not very sound status quo, the real market is more easily accepted by customers." On the other hand, the current business-to-business, Consumer-to-consumer more mature, but in terms of business to the business platform, the development of the current is not very mature, more is an information platform, rather than a real trading platform. ”

Commodity city will also build E-commerce industry base, in order to attract e-commerce and supporting enterprises to settle in, build network Business park, to come to YIWU development of the network business concessions to provide the place and related services.
Jinfengping hope that through a multi-pronged approach to enhance the mall operators E-commerce awareness and marketing experience, foster the overall atmosphere of e-commerce. Of course, Jinfengping more hope that through cooperation, learn from Alibaba's experience, to build China commodity city's own E-commerce Third-party platform.

Now all over the emergence of many small commodity market, but compared with the new market, Yiwu Market has the advantage of the first, the high concentration of goods, and full competition. Jinfengping said, "More importantly, the market development to a certain stage, the market competition more reflected in the Trade service function competition." ”
