Recalling Ali Jingdong 2015 year cats and dogs

　　Jingdong Mall has been a company for a long time rivals. In fact, in China, the hostile relations between the two companies has been the industry dubbed "cats and dogs" – to borrow each other's products to describe, the Alibaba Group's "cat city" and East Beijing's own online store.

　　Alibaba maintain UNIQLO clothing sold on its platform strategy also shows this interest with Alibaba.

　　In the past few months, Alibaba and other shopping sites have been trying to pass a special contract or product launch to attract some name-brand enterprises cooperation, but Alibaba also asked them to provide more discounts to sellers on the Web site.

　　The end of April this year, Alibaba founder Jack MA (micro-blogging) and UNIQLO's parent company Fast Retailing Co Chief Executive Tadashi Yanai (Tadashi Yanai) to talk.

　　Fast Retailing is Asia's largest clothing retailers, have recently sold in the store UNIQLO products, and sold very well. According to people familiar with the matter said news, MA and his team told Yanai that if UNIQLO further loyalty to the platform of Alibaba, Alibaba will boost the company's platform of UNIQLO store traffic and sales continue to grow.

　　UNIQLO once stationed in Beijing East platforms, but in July this year, UNIQLO has announced its withdrawal from the store, claims into the store out of UNIQLO's e-commerce strategy.

　　Jingdong said UNIQLO's exit is definitely "business for reasons other than" because in the store, UNIQLO's demand is very strong. However, UNIQLO, declined to comment.

　　Alibaba about controlling the absolute majority of the total volume of China's online shopping market share, this dominance can by Alibaba's online store "Taobao" stand out. Taobao now about 8 million sellers, most of which are individual sellers. By comparison, Jingdong "Pat" trading volume is much smaller, but Beijing East currently does not disclose "Pat" number of businesses on the platform.

　　According to market research firm iResearch data shows that first quarter of 2015, in the fast-growing e-commerce market, Alibaba accounted for approximately 58.6% shares, essentially flat with a year earlier. However, Jingdong Mall's share has increased from 19.2% in the same period last year to 22.8%.

　　Alibaba claimed that in the year to the end of March this year, the Group's retail website, on transactions totaling 2.44 trillion yuan, far exceeding the top five e-commerce company Alibaba group behind the sum of transactions of. Capital is still keen on photography O2O battle

　　However, Alibaba also acknowledged that the company faced increasing pressure of competition. Today, more and more e-commerce companies are chasing after the Chinese Internet market, including beauty products, only products, as well as in July this year has just been bought by Wal-Mart's first store.

　　Alibaba Vice Chairman Tsai took part in interviews with the media, said the fierce competition "is the nature of the e-commerce industry, particularly in the Chinese market." He said: "the market is very large, lucrative market for honor is very attractive, and you have a large number of entrepreneurs and financial resources in support of them. "

　　As the Chinese economy slows, China's e-commerce market, competition is becoming more and more serious. Alibaba recently released lower-than-expected earnings report. Data showed this quarter in the year to the end of June, Alibaba's revenue of $ 3.26 billion, less than expected. It is easy to see, the company is facing a number of challenges, such as the saturated business trends, such as the high cost of transition to a mobile service.

　　Last week, Alibaba announced to spend $ 49 purchase Su Ningyun 20% per cent, a move that would store hit.

　　In recent months, the company has signed cooperation agreements with the more than 160 enterprises, those agreements are expected in the next year will push Alibaba's online shopping mall increased volume of 30 billion yuan. Among them, at least 20% enterprise and exclusive Cat Mall retailers plan to sell their wares, such as Timberland (Timberland) and Decathlon.

　　Jingdong Mall Shen Haoyu, Chief Executive, said: "we look at Ali Baba's exclusive deal, but we do not think that this would be consistent with the brand's interest and purpose. "Tsai claimed that company signed an exclusive agreement with Alibaba, mainly because they know that" we are able to promote their products. "

　　The two rivals have been fighting. Last year, MA has claimed that East will "eventually became a tragedy"-Ma later apologized for this. In a speech in May of this year, before Alibaba Taobao President Zhang Jianfeng said, "as long as what Alibaba Jingdong soon to follow." At that time, Zhang Jianfeng said the words, is mainly aimed at Ali Baba to the rural market to expand, strengthen overseas sales operations, moves into cloud computing and online payment services.

　　Allegedly, East Beijing Beijing one of the slogans at the offices of a number of red flags, one of which is "fight, fight, fight, fight first!"

　　In July this year, Jingdong have insinuated that Ali fake, claims that shouldn't earn money always even. In a speech in July this year, Liu (micro-blogging) has claimed that East was "those who pay attention to quality and genuine consumer supposed to select online shopping platform".

　　Alibaba is different, Jing dong is a buy product from the supply, and then sold directly to consumers. In addition, the East also runs a store in the Mall, brands can sell merchandise and pay Commission to the East. In fact, the company does not actually sell products, but to connect buyers and sellers, by using the Mall of millions of businesses and independent retailers to provide advertising and other services for a profit.

　　There was Italy's senior brand choices in Beijing set up shop in the East, without selecting a cat Mall of Alibaba, the senior brand company said this is mainly because Beijing East gives a written undertaking, be sure to put this brand of piracy and parallel imports of goods out of the East website.

　　Jing dong claimed that protected brands of the company's intellectual property rights, regardless of whether these brands selling goods on its Web site. Earlier this year, Alibaba had persuaded Sweden opened in cat exclusive high-end brand Fjallraven outdoor store, and was committed to increasing the flow of the store. Previously, Fjallraven in Jingdong Mall and other Chinese Web site sales. Fjallraven parent company Lin, General Manager of Fenix Outdoor China Mingwen, said: "we have some very good conditions, including more transparency, the decline in ad spending on the Web site. "Lin Mingwen expects Fjallraven's network business in the Chinese market this year sales will increase 5 times compared with last year.

　　Prior to this transaction, Fjallraven CAT had to be priced very low, are better than others on the market in China the price of similar products on the site are low, so you can get more on cat Mall promotions and promotional opportunities. Today, Fjallraven signed an exclusive sales agreement with the cat, in this way, Fjallraven will have a great deal of flexibility in pricing.
