Five hundred city 3C Electrical network operation dilemma The integration path of electric quotient is not clear

Originally hoped to be included Tencent 3C electric business of 500 Cities 3C Electrical network recently into a dilemma.

"500 city has been dissolved, Yi Xun only recruited 4 500 city employees, the other employees have been completely dissolved, but all compensation for wages, smooth transition." "A http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/32834.html" > Insiders said on Weibo. And the reporter clicks 500 City website to discover, some goods have already shown that the stock is insufficient, or has already been under the frame, and on the homepage also only shows Beijing, Guangzhou, Chengdu Three delivery service area, other area temporarily does not supply the service.

"The 500 cities are indeed fully merged into Tencent, the two sides signed a framework agreement a few months ago, now the situation is not as bad as the outside." "A person close to Tencent related department," the first financial daily said that the 500 city problem is more of their own business model problems.

Five hundred city 3C Electrical network is China's first city-centric professional 3C electrical network. Products involved in it, digital, communications, and other categories, on-line that is, the simultaneous opening of 62 city sites.

"Integrated decentralized local brand agents throughout the country, using their professional home appliance logistics and installation team, to achieve the nearest consumer to the city of a network, such a model at that time the idea is very good, but did not notice the effect of implementation." "An electric business person evaluates, as the after the vertical electricity quotient, 500 city's advantage lies in with the local supplier good relations, fully integrates the resources, will the electrical appliance industry chain to the middle and lower reaches benefit community union." But "the next day up, city free shipping" high standards of logistics services indeed for the electric business enterprises, it is easy to become a burden to be thrown away.

In addition, according to the reporter understand, 500 city of goods are unified by the brand designated local supplier customers in the operation, the supplier of the warehouse inside what goods to sell what goods, and the supplier of choice is not only 500 city, to a certain extent will also be passive.

Former Shenzhen office staff told reporters that the company had a crisis last year, and the cancellation of the 500 City Shenzhen station, "There are other sites, but at that time also introduced Tencent investment." ”

"But because the sales of 500 cities do not reach the demand of Tencent, the cooperation between the two sides has been nominal." said the employee.

In the reporter call 500 city customer service phone, the other side said that the current site only provides "everyone" category of ordering services, other products because of "system upgrades" and other reasons temporarily in the status of no goods, asked when to resume supply, the other said there is no specific date.

Red Child President and CEO Xu Xianxin that today there is a platform to integrate vertical web site opportunities, but the trend is still uncertain. In the future, the strong exist, the weak are eliminated, vertical web sites, platform sites have space, to see the specific development strategy.

On September 14 Weibo, 500 City 3C Electrical Network founder Shan Bin made such a sigh: only their own business, only to know the founder's not easy, especially when the internal conflict.
