The “shownet” ceo has recently been in a good mood, largely due to the good policies of the general customs administration。
On 1 august, the general customs administration's bulletin on the control of cross-border trade in electronic goods, items and exports was officially implemented throughout the country, making it possible for enterprises and individuals engaged in cross-border electric operators to have their laws in place; there was also a clear conclusion regarding “substitutes”, which would be viewed as smuggling for everyone to report。
“this means that the rules are more transparent, so that platforms like our formal transactions are not subject to price pressure from illegal surrogates.” in an interview with the journalist of business in the twenty-first century (hereinafter referred to as 21cbr), kiki wrote:。
In 2012, the network gradually changed the positioning of luxury electricists to overseas branded malls, mainly selling imported high- and middle-end commodities。
This transition goes hand in hand with the explosive growth of china's demand for foreign purchases. According to the centre for research on electronic commerce in china, china's foreign exchange transactions increased from 12 billion yuan to over 70 billion yuan in the period from 2010 to 2013. In 2012, cross-border importers of electricity (also known as “sea-pike”) traded only to pay for treasures increased by 117 per cent over the previous year, well above the rate of 64. 7 per cent for domestic generators。
Policy is also a booster for fishing. At the end of 2012, the national commission for development and development issued a document on the promotion of cross-border electricians in the context of the joint customs administration and approved five pilot cities for cross-border electricians nationwide, with policies and resources not only at pilot ports but also with subsidies from local governments; in 2013, the authority also issued cross-border payment licences to 17 third-party payment companies。
The rapid growth in scale, coupled with policy support, has made it a “last blue sea of chinese e-commerce” that, in addition to being vanquished by large electric power platforms, such as kyoto, tianyu, shop no. 1 and the quest society, has become a fragrance for entrepreneurs and vcs。
This heat was also felt in the ocean terminal ceo, which had been working in the area of cross-border importers for five years, where he felt that this year the cross-border importers were “puzzlingly overheated by the government and capital” in china, while in terms of meeting the demand of chinese consumers for cross-border purchases, “we are importing less than enough to pass, perhaps only 30 per cent”。
It's hot
In 2009, after 80 years as a cross-border exporter of electricity in ebay, bebo left the business and established the ocean pier. In 2011, the ocean terminal electricier website was officially launched and is currently a c2c-based overseas proxy platform that brings together tens of thousands of overseas buyers to provide substitute services to domestic consumers。
Tseng beibo had long realized that, without assurances of logistics, cross-border importers of electric power would be no different from airspace. As a result, in 2010 he set up the “bey sea international express”, which now has cargo stations in four cities in los angeles, san francisco, new york and chicago in the united states, ensuring that at least five flights per week will fly back from cargo centres to mainland china. Today, buying a pair of jeans at the ocean terminal would normally reach the user for five to seven days。
After several years of cultivation, the ocean terminal was sold to more than $200 million by 2013, with an average of thousands of orders per day. At the end of 2010, angel bay founder invested in the ocean terminal; at the end of last year, it completed another round of financing。
A group of those who came later seemed more fortunate and financed more quickly than zeng beibo。
In october 2013, sha wenbin, the senior product manager of skycat wireless, left office to set up the "cn sea pike" (now renamed "honey pup"), where he was positioned to create the largest fishing brand time-limited site for sale and to seek to become an exclusive product for the fishing edition。
Two months after the product went online, the company received an angel investment from chairman choi wensheng, chairman and chief executive officer of the board of directors of the skywalking holdings, and millions of dollars at the latitude of king huadong. In july of this year, five million dollars was invested in honey mining at latitude and completed its a round investment. The next step in honey mining is the integration of niche suppliers and specialist logistics distribution resources。
Not so long ago, the importing mother-and-child brands specialty mall — the honey-baby — completed a $20 million b round of financing, with redwood capital, round a's investor — the genuine fund and the risky peak boom. The ferocious financing experience of the honeybaby has led to numerous insinuations in the industry, with the company on the line in 2011 and its own vertical electrician website in 2013。
By contrast, platforms such as the seacat season and the golden stick are relatively shallow in the supply chain, where they act as a traffic entry for overseas businesses, mainly by removing language and payment barriers and optimizing the fishing process。
In addition to trading platforms, around fishing, there have been the emergence of a number of business start-ups of tools such as, for example, 55 for fishing, easy fishing, what is worth buying, and north american financial express, whose main function is to recommend to domestic users information on returns and concessions。
“as long as there are emerging fishing websites in the industry, it is easy to get tens of millions of dollars in investment, if the story is clear.” the vc's enthusiasm for fishing projects has been assessed by bebo. According to 21cbr journalists, vcs, well known for their place of work, their capital, and their co-founder, are all bets in the area of fishing and fishing, and have even invested in several projects in the same institution。
Despite the lack of financial resources, since the beginning of this year, zibbo has received “no less than 20 investment institutions”. In his view, capital is “a little too much” for cross-border importers。
Upstream gap
At the end of july this year, internet users tanned on twitter the details of the polo clothes purchased on the show network and compared them to the product of the exclusive, which is very different and suspected of selling off the show network. Burberry's official microbrew, the “burberry guest service”, responded by stating that the shownet was not a power granted by burberry to retailers, and that it was only through burberry. Com, burberry's precise and authorized retailers that the purchase could be guaranteed。
Prior to this, there was a strong trend towards “selling off” of power platforms such as qingdong。
“the real price of the goods” is a strong demand for chinese sea peddlers, and “showing off” is the least tolerated place for sea peddlers。
The shownet knows all about it. Wang fong, the head of his brand’s public relations department, told the 21cbr journalist that the products purchased by the above-mentioned netizens were supplied by burberry’s european brand distributors, and that the goods from distribution channels were different in model, fabric, style and even design from those from luxury brand stores. To that end, they invited the netizens and media journalists to the showroom office to look first-hand at the network's purchase vouchers, customs clearance documents, and the series of authorized contracts with distributors to prove innocence。
