On November 18th, a surveillance camera at a farmer’s home in Taicun Village, Jixing Township, Boli County, qitaihe city, Heilongjiang Province recorded a video of a suspected wild Siberian tiger running by. The tiger tried to bump into the iron gate of the farmer’s house. The Boli County Forestry and Grassland Bureau subsequently issued a circular, saying that after preliminary verification, a villager in Changtai Village was bitten by a tiger in his left hand and is currently receiving treatment in a medical institution. The injured person’s mood is stable and his vital signs are stable. County public security bureau, forestry and grassland bureau, emergency management bureau and other departments and local township staff have arrived at the scene to track the tiger’s whereabouts.

The publisher of the surveillance video said that the video was taken by the surveillance in his backyard, and the old man in the video was his grandfather. The tiger smashed the door of the house, but it didn’t hurt the family. It was other villagers in the village who were bitten. After the incident, he told his grandparents not to go out, and the village also informed everyone not to go out as much as possible. There are mountains near this place, and there are wild boars, bears and other animals on the mountains, but he has never seen any wild animals coming down the mountain since he was a child.

On August 27th, the long-awaited official launch, a total of 515 long battery life version, 620 long battery life version and 580 long battery life Max version were launched, and the prices were 119,800 yuan, 129,800 yuan and 155,800 yuan respectively. This starting price is much lower than the previous pre-sale price of 135,800 yuan, but it does not rule out that Xpeng Motors deliberately set a higher pre-sale price to lower everyone’s expectations. So which of these three configurations should I buy?

Based on the comprehensive price and battery life, many people will definitely choose the 620 long battery life version with a price of 129,800 yuan. Compared with the 515 long battery life version, this configuration has a battery life of 105km, a motor power of 20kW, seat heating/ventilation, 256-color ambient lights and other configurations. It looks quite cost-effective and can basically meet daily use. Compared with the 620 long battery life version, the most expensive 580 long battery life Max version has the same battery capacity and motor power, mainly because it has two more NVIDIA OrinX intelligent driving chips and binocular cameras, which support remote parking, parking service, automatic lane change assistance, automatic ramp exit (entry), signal light recognition, remote summoning, urban and high-speed intelligent driving and other functions.

It seems that there is not a big gap between the three configuration versions, but Xpeng Motors has widened the price difference between the 620-long battery life version and the 580-long battery life Max version to 26,000 yuan, thus making consumers retreat and take the initiative to choose the 620-long battery life version that looks more cost-effective. At present, MONA M03 in Tucki is mainly complained about the non-independent suspension of the rear torsion beam, interior plastic, the cancellation of the instrument panel, and the small head space in the rear row. Whether these are problems or not will be answered after the subsequent test drive.

However, from the overall configuration level, Tucki MONA M03 still has certain advantages. Its safety configuration level is very high. The whole system comes standard with front side airbags and side air curtains, as well as active braking, lane departure warning, fatigue driving warning, DOW door opening warning, front/rear collision warning, driving recorder, 360 panoramic image and other configurations, which can be said to be "armed to the teeth". For a pure electric car with less than 120,000, this configuration level is high.

Therefore, to sum up, the most worthwhile purchase of Tucki MONA M03 is the 620 long battery life version with a price of 129,800 yuan, which can meet the basic driving assistance and high safety and comfort requirements. However, there is a question worth thinking about: How did Tucki MONA M03 620 Long Life Edition achieve 620km battery life when the battery capacity was only 62.2kWh? At the same level, the battery capacity of AION S Max2024 80-star lithium ternary battery reached 67.9kWh, and the battery life of CLTC was only 610km, and its curb weight was 79kg lighter than that of MONA M03 620. Is it true that He Xiaopeng has magic?

On January 24th, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission website published "Guiding Opinions on Regulating the Regulation Price Management of Banking Service Market". The Opinions put forward that banks should not use price means to carry out unfair competition; For financing business, fees shall not be charged for not providing substantive services; When setting the price range, it is not allowed to excessively expand the interval between the upper and lower limits and evade the price management requirements; When pricing based on external costs, fees significantly higher than the external service price standard shall not be charged; Do not charge fees repeatedly for service items, or reduce the quality or quantity of service on the grounds of price reduction.

— — Strengthen management and speed up transformation. Optimize the internal operation process, shorten the management and business chain, and form the endogenous power for banks to effectively carry out price management. Promote financial service innovation, increase digital transformation and technological empowerment, and improve operational efficiency.

(III) Main objectives

The bank’s market regulated price service items are set appropriately, the pricing is scientific and reasonable, the price management mechanism is more perfect, the quality and efficiency of financial services are further improved, and the service capacity is continuously enhanced, forming a market environment with fair price competition, effective management norms, high-quality and transparent services and sufficient rights and interests protection.

Second, standardize the pricing of service items

(4) Market-regulated pricing services of banks refer to services provided by banks with non-government guidance or non-government pricing. Services include payment and settlement, agency business, risk taking, financial transactions and management consulting, including payment and settlement, electronic banking, bank cards, wealth management, agency, custody, guarantee and commitment, trade finance, financial market transactions, management and consulting.

(5) The prices of service items subject to market-regulated prices shall be independently set by banks according to law and formed through market competition. Banks should set and adjust the price of market-regulated service items, which should reflect the matching of quality and price, cost and risk coverage, value creation and industry competitiveness. According to the different nature of service items, fixed amount pricing, proportional pricing, interval pricing, agreement pricing, pricing based on external costs or other methods are adopted separately or comprehensively.

(six) to adopt the proportional pricing method to formulate and adjust the price of service items, it is necessary to scientifically evaluate the relationship between the amount of services involved and the price of services, and comprehensively consider factors such as cost burden and economies of scale to determine the rate.

(VII) To adopt interval pricing method to formulate and adjust the price of service items, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the differences in customer group characteristics, transaction currency or amount, service channels, etc., scientifically determine pricing standards, reasonably control the price interval, and determine the appropriate upper and lower limits of the interval.

(eight) to adopt the agreement pricing method to formulate and adjust the price of service items, it is necessary to clarify the implementation reference standards for personalized services, persist in creating value for customers, clarify the service content, price composition and pricing considerations, standardize the service pricing calculation method, and keep corresponding records.

(nine) with the help of financial infrastructure or communication and information services, the external cost pricing method is adopted to formulate and adjust the price of service items, and the appropriate external purchase price and service price standard should be determined in full consultation with the basic service providers.

Third, establish and improve the pricing calibration mechanism

(ten) the bank should evaluate the rationality of the price standard of market-regulated service items, and select internal and external items for homogeneous comparison. According to the regulatory policy and business development needs, combined with the nature of the service to determine the frequency of price audit, regular assessment of service prices, in accordance with the provisions of the disclosure of adjustments. When evaluating the service price, we should fully consider the factors such as business model adjustment, management process optimization, technological progress and so on, and reflect them in the price level. Encourage a moderate reduction in fees for low-frequency and low-input services.

(eleven) the pricing of bank market-regulated service items should take service quality as the core, take into account market competition and customer acceptance, and avoid the actual execution price of services exceeding a reasonable level. For service items with fixed prices, the upper limit should be strictly the standard published in the service price catalogue, and the actual execution price should not be higher than the published price standard. For proportional pricing projects, except for specific types such as risk taking, in principle, it is necessary to set the upper limit of the execution price. For agreement pricing projects, it is necessary to clarify the internal implementation reference standards and establish an internal over-limit audit mechanism to prevent abuse of agreement to obtain improper benefits.

(twelve) banks shall not use price means to carry out unfair competition; For financing business, fees shall not be charged for not providing substantive services; When setting the price range, it is not allowed to excessively expand the interval between the upper and lower limits and evade the price management requirements; When pricing based on external costs, fees significantly higher than the external service price standard shall not be charged; Do not charge fees repeatedly for service items, or reduce the quality or quantity of service on the grounds of price reduction.

(thirteen) industry associations and clearing and settlement institutions should play an active role, strengthen positive guidance for services with extensive influence, and promote the long-term development of the market.

Fourth, support specific service areas

(14) Encourage banks to optimize basic banking services such as account management, deposit and withdrawal, payment and remittance for specific groups such as the elderly and the disabled, and give appropriate concessions in combination with their own business strategies. For service items such as account management and maintenance, it is encouraged to reduce or exempt them according to customer type, transaction scale and transaction frequency. Banks should ensure that customers are aware of the preferential measures for reducing and exempting service prices for specific groups, and protect financial consumers’ right to know.

(fifteen) encourage banks to implement differentiated pricing for small and micro enterprises, individual industrial and commercial households and other market entities, reasonably formulate and adjust the price of service items, divide customer groups according to their own business strategies, and give appropriate concessions.

(sixteen) to encourage banks to support the national people’s livelihood projects and other special funds to help protect the field, and reasonably determine the price of funds settlement and other services.

Five, improve the service outsourcing and service cooperation price management.

(XVII) In business cooperation with third-party institutions, banks can distinguish service outsourcing from service cooperation in combination with the independence of decision-making, the legal relationship of customers and the ownership of interests, and implement price management in accordance with these Guiding Opinions and relevant laws and regulations.

(eighteen) banks should establish and improve the management system of service outsourcing, reasonably determine the items and forms of outsourcing services, strengthen the management of service outsourcing procurement, and carefully select outsourcing service providers. It is necessary to specify the price terms in the outsourcing service agreement, and it is forbidden for outsourcing service providers to charge customers for services related to outsourcing services.

(nineteen) banks should establish a unified cooperative management system, formulate a directory of cooperative institutions, and adopt open bidding or other appropriate procurement methods for competitive service projects in principle. It is necessary to fully understand the service content and price standards provided by cooperative institutions such as Internet platforms to customers, stipulate the service price information disclosure requirements, the responsibilities and obligations of the three parties in dispute settlement, etc. in the cooperation agreement, and prohibit cooperative institutions from charging customers any fees in the name of banks. It is necessary to continuously evaluate the cooperation mode and terminate the cooperation of institutions that are inconsistent with the quality and price of service charges in a timely manner.

Six, strengthen the management of market regulated price pricing.

(20) The head office of a bank should implement scientific management of service prices, integrate price management into service scheme design, business strategy formulation, service quality and efficiency evaluation and other links, designate special departments to take the lead, coordinate all business departments and service units to implement the division of responsibilities by establishing an internal coordination mechanism, strengthen guidance and supervision on the implementation of service prices, and correct existing problems in time.

(21) Banks should improve the control function of business systems, realize automatic identification of customers who meet the conditions of preferential reduction and exemption of service prices, effectively control service items and execution prices, and reduce operational errors and human influence through parameter setting.

(twenty-two) banks should follow the principle of appropriateness and matching. Recommend appropriate service items according to the actual needs of customers. For a service project with a certain period or service period, it is necessary to stipulate terms such as service content, charging rules and liability for breach of contract in the business contract or service agreement with the customer, and deal with the situation that the service actually does not occur or is terminated in advance according to the principle of matching the service price with the actual content. Regularly carry out service inspection and retrospective analysis, and confirm and refund the expenses in time.

Signs or instructions should be clear and identifiable, and the display content should be simple and intuitive, which is easy to query in business premises and other ways. It can be publicized by combining the service price catalogue with the announcement. In principle, long-term preferential measures with universality should be included in the service price catalogue. It is necessary to fully prompt the applicable object, scope, method and effective period of the preferential service price policy. Clarify the specific items and price standards of the service price package. In the transaction interface, business contract or service agreement, list service items, price standards, charging and collection methods, etc.

(twenty-six) the internal audit department of the bank should include the service price management and implementation in the audit scope to prevent the violation of service price management requirements, compulsory acceptance of services, improper interest transfer and other situations that harm the legitimate rights and interests of financial consumers.

Original xiaonan　

Friends who are often interested in doing research ask us what we should pay attention to when we first learn to do research, how to identify and test information, etc.

In the past eight years, my companions and I have led thousands of young people to carry out a lot of research in 21 countries around the world to understand all aspects of local sustainable development: animal protection, gender equality, education equity …

In this process, we have accumulated some suggestions for everyone who wants to learn how to do research projects, and share them with you today.

Remembering them may help you learn to do research topics, and may also help you understand the world more comprehensively and objectively through research, more accurately answer questions in your heart-at least, you will no longer be surprised by the "reversal" of a news.

All the information may be wrong,

Including what we once believed in ourselves

We once saw a report on a Chinese website saying that "Kenyan slum women need to exchange sexual intercourse for sanitary napkins". However, when we actually went to the slums of Kenya to carry out research, we found that this was completely a rumor.

This situation is very common in research.

Therefore, in the face of any information you first saw and heard (including what this article is talking about), don’t think that "this is correct." Instead, remind yourself that this information may be "wrong".

This kind of "mistake" may be intentional forgery, may be unintentional, or, as Rashomon tells us, it may be true from one angle and false from another.

Let’s go back to the example of sanitary napkins. The Chinese website may say this because it is more eye-catching (intentional fraud), because it has listened to the wrong information of others (unintentional), or because this phenomenon does exist in some people in individual slums in Kenya, even though we have not investigated it (Rashomon).

Realizing the existence of false information and prejudice, putting down one’s preconceived ideas, and absorbing and analyzing different information with the most open mind are prerequisites for doing research.

Otherwise, you will only see what you want to see and investigate the conclusions you want to investigate. In this case, there is no need to do research.

Don’t jump to conclusions and make judgments so quickly.

Research needs a certain amount of information as the basis. If the amount of information is insufficient, it is difficult for us to fully understand a thing, and it is even more likely that we don’t realize that the information we are exposed to is wrong.

For example, we once conducted mining industry research in Tanzania. The first three "experts" we interviewed all vowed to tell us that Tanzania has a large number of exploitable copper mines, and it is cost-effective to do copper business here.

However, more research after that completely overturned our previous findings.

Therefore, hold yourself back and don’t jump to conclusions.

If you haven’t contacted more than 10 different information sources about the same thing, and haven’t heard more than 2 different opinions about the same thing, please don’t end your research and make a hasty judgment.

It is better to say "I haven’t done enough research, I don’t know", and don’t let the wrong conclusion occupy our hearts and blind our eyes.

Pay attention to the credibility of information sources

In the ocean of information, if we want to get objective information as much as possible, we must learn to examine the source of information.

We once interviewed a reporter in Brazil, and this reporter told us a lot about the Amazon rainforest. However, after talking for 2 hours, we found that he had never been to the Amazon rainforest at all. What he said is nothing but hearsay.

Later, we met someone who knew this reporter. He smiled and told us that what this reporter said was never reliable.

Anyone can tell you how good or bad a restaurant is, but:

Whether this person is a frequent visitor to this restaurant, a guest who has only been there once, or has never been to this restaurant will affect the credibility of this evaluation;

This person is the owner, employee of this restaurant, or the boss of a competitor, which will affect the credibility of this evaluation;

This person usually speaks very rigorously and professionally, or this person often talks boastfully, which will also affect the credibility of this evaluation.

When you see the information at ordinary times, pay attention to what platform it is published: a think tank, a professional media or a self-media

In addition to the platform, pay attention to the author of the information itself: what is the professional background of this author? Does he/she really understand the topic he/she is talking about?

A food blogger, telling you about medicine, is it credible? A person who can’t speak English, is it credible to talk to you about international relations?

Pay attention to tracing the source of information in information

After seeing a message, you should get used to tracing the source of the message.

We once saw a Chinese newspaper saying from the media that something was reported in the Kenyan media, and we will call it ABC for the time being.

However, when we went to see the Kenyan media ourselves, we found that people were talking about XYZ. That Chinese from the media has distorted people’s original words.

This kind of thing will happen in life, for example, a person tells you that someone is a person who only knows to eat, drink and have fun all day. Look at his/her circle of friends, and it is full of food and travel all day.

When you look at this person’s circle of friends yourself, you find that: Yes, there are a lot of food and travel contents, but in fact, the most content in this person’s circle of friends is about the academic conferences he attended, the books he read and the homework he wrote.

When someone tells you about someone and a place, you can certainly refer to it, but don’t forget to see this person and this place for yourself.

Pay attention to cross-validation of information

For the same information, cross-validation should be done from different angles.

In fact, this is what China said in the old saying, "Listening to all things makes you understand".

Comparing the descriptions of the same thing from different information sources, we may find some factual errors.

For example, we once interviewed Chinese, who lives in Kenya. Some people told us that it is legal to hunt and eat antelopes in Kenya, while others told us that it is illegal.

When we compare this information, we find that the current laws in Kenya clearly prohibit hunting and eating wild animals such as antelopes.

We further found that some people say that it is legal to eat antelope in Kenya because there used to be restaurants in Kenya that could legally eat antelope-and that was many years ago, and that kind of legal eating was conditional.

The person who said this actually didn’t pay much attention to this topic, just told us his cognition according to his previous impression.

There are indeed some African countries where antelopes can be legally eaten, such as South Africa and Namibia. However, Kenya is not the case.

In this case, you will distinguish between "right" and "wrong"

Sometimes, comparing different information sources can’t make you get simple "right" and "wrong", you just realize that one thing has its complexity.

Think about the examples in life. Some people say that this person is hardworking, while others say that this person is lazy. What they both said may be true, just from different angles.

Conclusion: After learning to investigate,

You may get into more confusion—

congratulations

In fact, after learning to investigate, we can easily become more confused.

Because we will find that the world is complicated, and there is not only one truth as Conan said.

We may also fall into anxiety, because we find that there are a lot of false information or misleading information in our information ocean, and we may fall into prejudice at any time.

▲ Source: Network

If you have such symptoms, congratulations, you have started to have something called "information literacy". You will no longer be trapped by the flood of information, but have the ability to examine and use information.

Don’t worry, it’s normal.

Think about the process of seeking knowledge—

In the first stage, we knew nothing; In the second stage, we feel that we know everything; In the third stage, we find that we really don’t know anything.

Being in the second stage may be simpler and happier. However, we still want to go to the third stage, right?

After all, people should be thinking reeds.

Original title: "Learn to investigate, starting with these five things"

The video number began to ride the wind of live e-commerce and entered the e-commerce field. Obviously, the video number has achieved good results in the field of live e-commerce. However, there are still many aspects to be considered in the development of video number. What will be its future development? Let’s look at the author’s analysis.

Since the beginning of this year, benchmark cases of video numbers have emerged one after another: Langzi, a high-end clothing brand whose GMV has increased by about 6 times year-on-year, Alice Clothing Alice, a women’s clothing brand whose GMV was as high as 55 million yuan in February, only laid out the video number this year, and the monthly GMV was stable at tens of millions in Yunnan Yiyao tea industry … ..

In addition, the data of WeChat open class shows that last year, the overall live broadcast sales of video numbers increased by more than 8 times year-on-year, which can be described as a rainbow under the wind.

Moreover, less than half a year ago, the video number was also designated as "the hope of the whole factory" by Ma Huateng, Chairman of Tencent’s Board of Directors. Subsequently, Liu Chiping, president of Tencent, also mentioned that the video number is gradually cutting into the field of live e-commerce through live broadcast, "there is a lot of space here".

However, Wu Cong (a pseudonym), a senior e-commerce practitioner, is not in a hurry to catch up. He has "two faces" to the video number. On the one hand, he thinks that mature brands deserve the All in video number, but on the other hand, his newly-started perfume brand has chosen to "stay put" and stick to the traditional e-commerce position.

Everything should start with the ecological characteristics of the video number. "The core attribute of the video number is the private domain, and the public domain traffic is small. It’s like, you opened your store in an office building instead of a busy road, a small brand that no one knows about, how many people can go to the office building to find you? After all, different brands are suitable for doing different things at different stages. "

At the same time, according to his observation, among the active businesses in the live broadcast circle around him, although about 60% of the businesses are doing video numbers. However, among them, only 10% of the merchants may have the ideal transaction volume, and more of them just "occupy the pit" and did not spend much energy on operation.

"In fact, the learning cost of video number is quite high, and the ecology is different from other platforms, so the gameplay naturally needs to be re-explored," Wu Cong said.

So, what is the difference between the video number ecology? What opportunities can merchants meet here? What challenges do you face? What do those who have made money do? With these questions, Caijing Story chatted with a number of e-commerce practitioners.

One of the main players of the video number is the mature brand in Wu Congkou.

For example, clothing brands Langzi, Li Ning, Gloria, beauty brands Nature Hall, Winona, Mystery of Sea Blue, jewelry brand Zhou Dasheng, etc., all started the normal live broadcast operation on the video number.

At the same time, brand merchants are also highly valued by the platform, and the platform will tilt the traffic for them.

From April to May this year, WeChat released and upgraded the "Incentive Plan for Brand Merchants with Video Number", giving multiple rights and interests incentives to qualified brand merchants, including rewarding traffic coupons, reducing a certain percentage of technical service fees, and promoting priority participation channels.

Some brand businesses have made initial growth in the video number.

For example, the high-end clothing brand Langzi, during June 18 this year, its video number GMV reached more than 12 million, exceeding the target by 20%.

"Since the normalized daily broadcast began in October last year, the GMV contributed by video numbers has grown rapidly, accounting for a small proportion of the overall online GMV". The person in charge of Langzi’s new retail told Caijing Story.

Another example is hippocampus, a photography brand. On June 18th this year, its video number GMV was originally set at 6 million, but the actual results far exceeded expectations. After the first live broadcast sales exceeded expectations by 200%, the closing night sales directly exceeded 10 million.

Brand merchants have advantages in making video numbers. The core factor is that mature brands have enough user awareness, and often have completed the original private domain accumulation, which can more easily incite the ecological value of video numbers and WeChat.

At present, WeChat has connected the video number with other public and private domain contacts such as WeChat official account, applet, enterprise WeChat, circle of friends, search and search, and can link to the video number on private domain contacts such as WeChat official account, applet and enterprise WeChat. At the same time, when the video number is broadcast live, it can also guide users to pay attention to corporate WeChat and precipitate it into the private domain.

This means that brand merchants can start live broadcast based on their own private domain.

Both Langzi and Haima have observed that most customers in their live broadcast rooms come from private domain broadcast reminders, and the proportion of private domain transactions is higher than that of other platforms such as Jikuai.

The accumulation of private domain was not built in a day.

Two or three years ago, Langzi began to encourage store shopping guides to introduce customers into corporate WeChat, and now it has become a normal operation. At the same time, its WeChat official account and short videos have been outputting content that highlights the tonality of the brand, and have accumulated many followers. These private domain assets help it trot in the video number.

However, private domain is an efficient path for Nuggets video number, but it is not the only path.

In addition to brand merchants, some small and medium-sized merchants without private domain foundation "have a unique way" and rely on the natural flow dividend of the new platform to lay a solid foundation. These traders include white-brand merchants, individuals or teams with sources of goods.

Lin Shen, the video number e-commerce trader, is one of them. In April of this year, Lin Shen made a sunscreen clothing category in the video number. Instead of making short videos, he only relied on the live broadcast to naturally stream the number. In one month, he achieved the classification of the video number sunscreen clothing, and the GMV of the highest day reached 100,000 yuan.

The core of this model is to choose the corresponding seasonal explosives+preemptive admission, without considering the long-term operating value of private domain, and paying more attention to attracting new traffic with "explosives".

"At the end of the day, what you eat is the free traffic bonus of the video number," Lin Shen said frankly. "It is very difficult for you to go to Tik Tok to play like this now, because free traffic is hard to get. The video number at this stage is like Tik Tok around 2021. The live broadcast has just started, and many people still don’t know how to do it. In another year or two, this opportunity may be less on the video number. "

Lin Shen relies on natural flow to be "small and broad", while others are even more "fierce" and rely on paid investment to incite the commercial traffic dividend of video numbers.

This is the case with Yunnan Yiyao Tea Industry, which just entered the video number this year and completed the cold start with the mode of "paid streaming+live broadcast". At present, the monthly GMV of its video number is stable at tens of millions.

According to Tencent’s advertising public information, the peak ROI of Yiyao tea industry can reach 1:5, and the comprehensive investment of single live advertising is about 200,000 yuan, which can produce GMV of about 1 million yuan.

Not only kiln tea industry, according to Gong Haihan, CEO of video number digital marketing and industrial service provider BaiZhun, in the first half of this year, many tea merchants made money by relying on similar models.

The core factor is that the target customers of tea have a certain fit with the people with video numbers. According to QuestMobile《2022 cmnet Annual Report, users of video numbers after 60 s and 70 s account for 28.2%, that is, people over 50 years old account for about one third. The users of Yiyao tea industry are concentrated around 45-50 years old, and even users over 65 years old.

In addition, the incoming people are not so crowded, and the traffic dividend is still there, so the ROI of investment flow will have a chance to reach a higher level.

According to Gong Haihan’s observation, in April and May this year, when more tea merchants flocked to copy this model, the competition became fierce and the bidding cost became higher, resulting in the gross profit margin of some tea merchants reduced from 70%-80% in February and March to 40%-50%. "But even so, the gross profit margin is still high."

It can be seen that whether it is a brand business that relies on private domain cold start or a small and medium-sized business that relies on traffic bonus to make a situation, it all cuts the characteristics of video number. The former is an inherent ecological attribute with sustainability, while the latter is a dividend at a specific stage with a window period.

Compared with the characteristics of traffic bonus with window period, the video number is more worthy of exploring its inherent ecological attributes, which is its core competitiveness in competing with the ecology such as Shakuai Taotao.

The consensus of many e-commerce practitioners is that public-private domain linkage is the biggest differentiation advantage of video number, and the key benefit for businesses is that they can do long-term brand management based on this.

On the one hand, the strong private domain attribute of video number provides merchants with the grip of stock users.

A senior IP operator believes that platforms such as Tik Tok are doing public domain traffic business, and the initiative of traffic is in the hands of platforms. Merchants should constantly obtain new traffic from it, then quickly realize it, and then use the money earned to obtain new traffic, and so on.

In the video number, businesses can accumulate their own user assets, and link WeChat official account, corporate WeChat and other contacts to manage the entire life cycle of users, such as encouraging users to buy again and call back lost users.

The hippocampus has a good understanding of this, and its positioning of the video number is to make an old customer repurchase. Hippocampus divides users into four grades, from low to high: fresh people, enthusiasts, insiders and artists, which will continue to guide users to upgrade through the operation methods such as video number live broadcast room welfare.

This has also brought it a higher repurchase rate and customer unit price than other platforms. Some users have even repurchased the hippocampus video number for 6 ~ 7 times, and the customer unit price of the video number users is also higher than that of other platforms by about 50 yuan.

The same is true for Langzi, whose video number is mainly for customers to buy again, while the positioning of platforms such as Tik Tok is for innovation. Because the old customers in private domain know and trust the brand, the repurchase rate of video number users is higher than other platforms, but the return rate is lower than other platforms, and the customer unit price is also considerable. "The main seller can’t sell regular-priced goods at less than 10% off the tag price". The person in charge of Langzi’s new retail told Caijing Story.

The essence of the improvement of this series of indicators is to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

"The cost of maintaining old customers is always lower than that of acquiring new customers. In the past, reaching old customers was very passive, so we could only send a text message. Now the whole e-commerce tool of WeChat is mature, which can activate transformation, then pull new products and repurchase them, forming a virtuous circle, which reduces the cost of brand acquisition in disguise," Wu Cong said.

According to the White Paper on Insight into the Growth of Mobile Application Operation in 2022 released by iResearch, in 2021, the per capita customer acquisition cost of domestic head Internet companies has reached 572 yuan, 8.5 times that of seven years ago-the public domain customer acquisition cost continues to rise, which makes the video signal with strong private domain characteristics extremely irreplaceable.

According to Gong Haihan’s observation: At this stage, many businesses can get positive feedback of profits on video numbers, but in Tik Tok, except for super-head businesses, it is basically difficult to get a balance between GMV and profits. "After all, a large part of the profits made in Tik Tok will be converted into high traffic purchase fees."

On the other hand, video number also has public domain traffic, and it has great potential. After all, behind it is WeChat, which has more than 1.3 billion monthly activities, representing almost all Internet users in China.

At this stage, the video number provides two important graspers to help merchants to incite public domain traffic:

1. First, leverage the public domain with the private domain. Video number has introduced a 1:1 public domain traffic subsidy, that is, every time a merchant guides a private domain user into the live broadcast room, the platform encourages at least one public domain user to the merchant;
2. Secondly, relying on WeChat’s unique acquaintance social relationship recommendation, more public domain users can be reached.

The person in charge of Langzi’s new retail has a lot of experience in this regard: "Traditional marketing channels, such as online e-commerce and offline stores, all have certain communication barriers, but relying on WeChat’s social relationship link, brands can break this marketing boundary and realize the spread and destruction in different social circles."

Yiyao tea industry has had relevant practice. Under the guidance of anchor and after-sales, the live broadcast traffic brought by its users in the circle of friends can reach 30% of the total traffic.

As a result, a virtuous circle of "private domain incites public domain-public domain is transformed and precipitated into private domain-then incites public domain" is established.

In addition, the video number is also suitable for an important position for brand promotion.

For example, hippocampus thinks that compared with other platforms, users with video numbers have more patience to calm down and read, watch and listen, and hippocampus will also rely on video numbers to tell brand stories and member stories, so as to draw closer emotional links with users.

The person in charge of Langzi’s new retail also said: The video number has a long board in the promotion of large-scale brands and the creation and dissemination of grass-growing content. On the basis of WeChat official account’s graphic and other forms, it complements the effectiveness of brand integrated marketing and can transmit the brand value for a long time, which is an unparalleled advantage of other short video platforms.

Based on the above characteristics, the brand can do long-term business in the video number, not just short-term business.

Coins always have two sides, and the differentiated characteristics of video numbers "complete" businesses, but also bring certain challenges.

For novices, it is not easy to find out the gameplay of video number public-private domain linkage. How to get through the multi-flow contacts of WeChat ecology? How to do user life cycle management? How to maintain a quality community? The test is the comprehensive operational capability.

"The difficulty of making a video number is superimposed. Shooting a video+doing a live broadcast+maintaining a group consumes only a lot more energy than other platforms. Take the community as an example. It is not easy for people to talk, praise and buy things in the live broadcast room every day. It is not just to send a notice or a coupon, "Wu Cong lamented.

In addition, the video number continues the "weak operation" style of WeChat, and almost no official operation activities are seen. There is no full reduction and full gift, and there is no subsidy of 10 billion yuan. This is hard to say right or wrong, but it is a challenge for businesses. Without the baton of the platform, I don’t know how to work hard.

The official attitude is not to disturb, the tools are given to you, and how to use the initiative is in your own hands. Wu Cong said.

This determines that making a video number is a slow process of "accumulating food and slowly claiming the king", which requires patience.

Gong Haihan quite agrees with this. "The learning difficulty of video number is higher than that of other platforms. It takes at least six months to one year from entry to maturity." According to his observation, many brands have spent 20% of their budget on video numbers this year, not to sell many goods in the short term, but to find a feel as soon as possible.

In addition, the video number is now in the climbing stage of content and commercialization, and the basic systems such as data tags are not as mature as other short video platforms, which will affect the accuracy of public domain traffic distribution and commercialization.

For example, according to national business daily, it is reported that after trying to stream video signals, the hippocampus found that the user conversion rate brought by streaming is less than 10%, so it is better to shake the pitch.

Due to the consideration of user experience, the opening of video number to public domain traffic is bound to exercise restraint, which leads to the fact that although video number has a certain public domain traffic dividend, the total scale is still small, and it is impossible for merchants to "buy money" to rush GMV.

This can also be felt from the gap between the overall GMV of video number and other platforms.

According to Tech Planet, GMV, a live e-commerce company with video number, was estimated to be between 40 billion and 50 billion last year. According to the estimate of "Dianshubao", a large database of e-commerce of NetEconomy, Social Security, during the same period, the GMV of Tik Tok e-commerce live broadcast was 1.5 trillion yuan, that of Aauto Quicker e-commerce live broadcast was 900 billion yuan, and that of Taobao live broadcast was 770 billion yuan.

The GMV of the video number live e-commerce does not match the size of its users. According to the data released by Quest Mobile, as of June 2022, the number of monthly users of video number has exceeded 800 million, which is comparable to that of Jikuai. In the same period, the number of monthly users in Tik Tok was 680 million. According to the financial report, in the first quarter of 2023, the average monthly active users in Aauto Quicker were 654 million; However, on the live GMV with goods, there is still a long way to go between the video number and the fast shake.

At the same time, some infrastructures that can help businesses to operate finely also need to be improved.

For example, the hippocampus said: I hope that the video number live broadcast room can add small details such as the recommendation of the hot list, and the platform can help to make live star recommendations and help brands expand their marketing; Langzi hopes that the live broadcast diagnosis function will be added in the background of the video number to improve the live broadcast operation effect; A head sportswear brand revealed that it hoped that the review speed of the video shop would be accelerated to improve the flexibility of the operation such as changing the price of the live broadcast room. "Sometimes it takes several days for a commodity to be put on the shelves for review, and the operational efficiency is not high enough."

Of course, it is foreseeable that the optimization of these details is only a matter of time. Lin Shen feels that the optimization speed of video number is very fast this year, and many rigid requirements are basically completed, such as the transportation insurance function of video number shop launched in June.

Caution in rhythm is also the active choice of video number. Liu Chiping once said: E-commerce with live video number should be "step by step".

Generally speaking, the advantages of the video number are very bright, and the challenges brought to the merchants are also very clear. The temptation and challenges are all there. Do you want to do it?

Gong Haijun’s suggestion is, "Because the WeChat behind the video number can’t be ignored, the video number can be sold, and it can also be used for brand promotion. Giving up the video number is equivalent to giving up the window to communicate with users." Wu Cong suggested: "It’s not bad to wait until the brand development stage and category attributes are evaluated first."

In this regard, perhaps everyone has their own answer.

1905 movie network news Produced by Huang Baiming, directed by Lin Delu, and starring Louis Koo, Chilam and Li Xinyue, the crime action film exposes a group of beautiful stills, which once again explains the theme of money and desire in the film. The film tells the story of Lu Zhilian (Louis Koo) and Liu Baoqiang (Chilam) investigating corruption and money laundering cases respectively. With the deepening of the investigation, they find that the two cases are inextricably linked. Li Xinyue plays Leng Yan beauty Zhao Meixin as a clue to money laundering, and fights with Lu Zhilian and Liu Baoqiang to achieve her goal.

　

Leng Yan beauty Li Xinyue challenges to play the beauty villain

In the stills, Li Xinyue looks sexy and beautiful in appearance, but in fact, she is strong in heart. She uses steel wrist to outsmart Louis Koo and Chilam for money laundering, which is the clue of the whole film. Li Xinyue, who appeared for the first time, wore a deep V-red dress, showing off sexy and charming curves, and her gestures were full of amorous feelings. Her eyes and expressions are fascinating, and netizens shouted: "This is a picture that makes the audience feel unfinished." The other one is cool, capable, handsome and sharp with a gun, which is in stark contrast to the original glamorous shape. This is her first challenge to play a female role, and she has experienced many gun battles and action scenes. In the set tidbits exposed before, she made a move and a style crisp and neat, showing good strength, which greatly praised the producer Huang Baiming.

It’s the first time to cooperate with the Hong Kong crew. In order to get into the shooting state quickly, Li Xinyue can finally communicate fluently with the crew by learning Cantonese by himself. What’s more worth mentioning is that in order to shoot a good gun battle scene, "Desperate Three Mothers" Li Xinyue began to prepare at three o’clock in the morning for several days, and started shooting at six o’clock, which was finally perfectly presented.

　

Controversy continues. Li Xinyue is dedicated to his role and is not afraid of bad words

From the gold digger Zhang Baobao in the hit drama "in the name of people" to the femme fatale Zhao Meixin in "Anti-Corruption Storm 3", the roles played by Li Xinyue are all controversial, and she also has her own set of theories about the role selection. Li Xinyue admits that when choosing roles, she will check the script layer by layer, and the first choice she values is — — Don’t repeat past roles, but pursue your own acting breakthrough. In the face of the audience’s bad comments on the role, Li Xinyue said that he didn’t care about these controversial remarks, because the audience’s abuse of the role and the discussion on the Internet also proved that the role he created was successful.

It is reported that the film "Anti-Corruption Storm 3" will meet the national audience on September 14th.
