Hou Yi, founder of Hema, commented on Liu Qiangdong's speech: It is only a matter of time before Meituan surpasses Tmall and JD.com in the fast-moving consumer goods category
Hou Yi, the founder of Hema, forwarded the content of Liu Qiangdong's recent small-scale sharing session on WeChat Moments, and said: Liu's supply chain theory is indeed an innovative and leading strategy in the Internet era, but in the mobile Internet era, the supply chain efficiency of self-operated + platform cannot be compared with the supply chain efficiency and service efficiency of Meituan + hundreds of thousands of stores across the country. Hou Yi also said that when he founded Hema in 2015, he always believed that he could not compete with e-commerce in making standardized factory products, so he entered the fresh food track, which e-commerce could not do. However, from Meituan's current business model, it can gather thousands of small stores and negotiate resources and advertising with brands, and the price is lower than that of e-commerce, because the offline share of the fast-moving consumer goods market is much larger than that of e-commerce, and the service experience is better nearby, so it is only a matter of time before Meituan's instant retail surpasses Tmall and JD.com in the fast-moving consumer goods category.

Liu Qiangdong reveals the progress of JD.com's international business: no cross-border e-commerce model, the infrastructure has been basically built
Liu Qiangdong, chairman of the board of directors of JD.com Group, said at a small-scale sharing session that JD.com's international business strategy is local e-commerce and building a local team. "We already have more than 2,000 employees, procure locally, ship locally, and only sell branded goods." Liu Qiangdong said that JD.com's international business does not follow the cross-border e-commerce model, "I firmly believe that the cross-border e-commerce model is unsustainable in the long run." Liu Qiangdong revealed that JD.com has been working in Europe for three years and the infrastructure has been basically built. In terms of product selection, Liu Qiangdong said that JD.com's international strategy is different from Amazon. "We signed 1,000 Chinese brands in the early stage. Our definition is that if these 1,000 Chinese brands succeed, we will succeed." Liu Qiangdong said that it may take another five years. "These 1,000 Chinese brands need to be negotiated one by one, and they need to be compliant and certified locally. A lot of work needs to be done, and it may take another five years to bring all these 1,000 brands overseas."

Liu Qiangdong increases stake in Harvest JD Warehousing Infrastructure REIT
On December 27, Harvest JD Warehousing Infrastructure REIT issued an announcement that JD Group founder Liu Qiangdong intends to increase holdings in the secondary market by no more than 100 million yuan. According to statistics, the average daily turnover of the fund in the last 30 trading days was about 10.24 million yuan, and some trading days were even only 3 to 4 million yuan. Therefore, the aforementioned 100 million yuan increase in holdings undoubtedly has a certain support effect on the trading price in the secondary market. In addition, as the market continues to bottom out, many funds such as Huaxia Hefei High-tech Innovation Industrial Park REIT and Huaan Bailian Consumer REIT have officially announced the increase in holdings by the original equity holders in the secondary market.
