China 90s generation sexy entrepreneurship
They say China’s youngsters born in the 90s are “wild” generation. So when recent labor market poses a cold and lofty face toward these 90s college graduates, some just decided to be their own bosses. Among them, two (a girl and a boy) dabbled into an unconventional business, setting up O2O model of sex toy shop, with a powerful store name simply called “POWERFUL”.
You might say nothing new. Sure, already players around and there are numerous and promiscuous C2C online stores cluttering Taobao. Still the two graduates perceived that robust demand from this sector of business in the most populous country should... > Read more

Weixin(Wechat) public account, a new mobile social marketing tool?
Recently I discerned when I logged on my Sina Weibo on PC, posts from several corporate accounts I follow almost begged my attentions to use my mobile phone to scan their QR codes, so as to connect them on Weixin. Soon I found out on August 17th, Weixin had already launched its public account platform, with its very alluring slogan “My brand, viewed by over 100 million people”. Looks like we have another new tool in the toolbox of mobile social marketing.

Still lucky one gets money in winter
We know 2012 is e-commerce winter and already got used to bad news those days, layoff, shutdown, price war…naturally VCs would tighten their belt for e-commerce. Nevertheless suddenly on August 21st, a flash sale B2C is claimed to receive over 10 million USD money(though no accurate number exposed) from Softbank and BlueRun ventures (actually two quite prestigious firms). Well guess there are always some lucky ones to get money in winter.
This platform is called Tianpin.com, which just set up in June this year in Shanghai. I had a quick look at it, more or less like a regular flash sale platform, with vigorous promotional and discount campaigns, i.e. every brand is 80%-90% off, buy RMB100... > Read more
Age of “Quad-Core” , age of fierce battle
On August 16th, Xiaomi (small rice) officially showcased its MIUI-2 phone (RMB1999). Acclaimed as China’s most promising homegrown smart phone, this much anticipated launch did not seem to stir wild excitement. Questions, doubts and suspensions have gradually infiltrated into the news media and most commentators consider the prospect of Xiaom’s success is clouded.
MIUI-2’s major advertising feature is so called “quad-core 8064Qualcomm 1.5GHz”. But when you look around, “Quad-Core processor” smart phone is everywhere. You have expensive ones, RMB3000-4000, from Samsung to HTC. For... > Read more
Is the founder of 360buy a pain in the ass for other players?
On August 15th, the founder of 360buy, Liu Qiang Dong, set the stage for a price war anew. Behind all his clamorous moves, I cannot help myself but wonder what his true color is? A drama king? A bluffer? A schemer? Or simply a pain in the ass for other major B2C players to suffer? And what is more important, how long will he stay in this e-commerce race?
In July, I wrote a blog about how he utilized “tomato love affair” on Sina weibo for social marketing purpose. Back then, not only did he flaunt his tomato love, but also murmured his plan of launching another round of drastic price war. So I... > Read more

Is B2C luxury just a mirage in China?
When we think of luxury, we relate it to loads of money. When we ponder over the potentials of China e-commerce, we consider it is a like a vast gold mine. Nevertheless when we add the two together, the result at the right hand side of this equation does not neccesarily sum up to more positive profits, sometimes even bloody loss.
Recently rumor of the downfall of an online luxury platform (l.sina.com) powered by Sina(China’s most prestigious internet company) caught my attention again. First reaction was “Not again, hope it is fine...aren't we having enough bad... > Read more
