Recently, the domestic business-to-business industry has become a topic of wide concern in the Internet industry, people are generally gloomy about the future of business-to-business, saying that the era of business-to-business is over, it is the sunset, the need for major surgery, and even the need to redo.
Keso, a blogger in Kathmandu, said in an interview with Xinmin Weekly: "Business-to-business is a sunset business," Deliang, chairman of the Network Sheng Technology, also made clear that business-to-business needs to undergo major surgery, "optimistic that the next 3 years will be a pain in business-to-business, there will be a new model to be born." Guo, the CEO of another business-to-business E-commerce platform in China, said: "Business-to-business needs innovation and needs change." But Guo said: "I have confidence in business-to-business, which is what I'm going to be doing all my life." ”
Where does Guo's faith come from?
To this end, the reporter to Guo conducted an interview. Guo asked reporters to first read such a data: In the two sessions, Minister of Commerce, Chen Deming said: 2011, the volume of electricity business amounted to 6 trillion, accounting for 13% of GDP, network retail size reached 800 billion. Network retailing is what we have learned, such as the consumer, C2B, Consumer-to-consumer, etc., that is to say, business-to-business directly created 5.2 trillion of e-commerce transactions, accounting for the total E-commerce transaction 87.5%. , accounting for 11.4% of the country's GDP.
Ministry of Commerce data: 2011 Business-to-business versus Business-to-consumer Comparison chart
"11.4% of national GDP is created by business-to-business, can you say that business-to-business is worthless?" Guo, "To put it another way, business-to-business is the upstream industry of the company, without Business-to-business, where does it come from?"
In Guo's view, Business-to-business is China's original E-commerce model, which refers to the e-commerce trade between enterprises, based on small and medium-sized enterprises, to help SMEs find accurate market opportunities through the Internet. Business-to-business from scratch, although only more than 10 years of time, but created trillions of of the market turnover. With the large-scale development of business-to-business, only to achieve the Business-to-consumer, China's e-commerce industry chain has been completed and developed.
For the recent business-to-business emergence of some discordant voice, such as Alibaba released earnings show its revenue growth decline, paid members to discuss the decline, the Dunhuang network of layoffs, business model was questioned, Guo bluntly this and China's negative trade has a direct relationship.
Data show that in January 2012, China's imports and exports both negative growth, the general administration of Customs issued statistics show that foreign trade import and export value of 272.6 billion U.S. dollars, down 7.8% year-on-year. One of the exports is more than 26 months since the first drop, 149.94 billion U.S. dollars, down 0.5%, so that people can not help to squeeze a cold sweat for China's foreign trade.
"This is a blow to business-to-business businesses based on foreign trade." "Guo said. "But as long as the world economy improves and China's foreign trade is on track, I believe there is still a potential for business-to-business commerce." ”
On the other hand, foreign trade has declined, and domestic trading has developed rapidly. The country has been taking various means to stimulate domestic demand in the past two years, domestic trade is bound to become the direction of small and medium-sized enterprises, "there will be more and more enterprises to the Hui Cong net this focus on the domestic business of business-to-business platform, I believe that the plight of small and medium-sized enterprises must urgently need the help of "Guo said.
In the Guo View, 2012, there will be more and more small and medium-sized enterprises to realize the beauty of the Internet, there will be more and more enterprises to turn like Ali, Hui Cong Such a platform, there will be more and more enterprises from the Business-to-business platform to find survival and development opportunities.
"I believe that China's original business-to-business industry will carry the future of China's electric business." "Guo is full of confidence.
