1. Douyin Kuaishou becomes a fake display window supervision should switch to traffic entrance
It is reported that short video platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou have become "fake display windows". Some video producers openly demonstrate the process of "homemade" lipstick and foundation, and then paste the brand trademark, and transfer money and ship it by leaving a WeChat account to form a black industrial chain. In addition to making homemade "famous brand" cosmetics, searching for keywords such as "luxury" and "famous watches" on platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou, you can also find a large number of content that displays counterfeit luxury goods. In response, Douyin has stated that it will mark the creators of spam advertising content based on system identification, manual review, and reporting inside and outside the site; users suspected of counterfeiting or other violations will stop recommending it, and if the circumstances are serious, the account will be directly blocked.

Hot comments from netizens:
Daizimo: I haven't played Kuaishou before. I've been watching Douyin recently. There are still many good things. I can only say that the platform is OK. Some fools are there, and there are keyboard warriors on Weibo.
Mr. Lu, pretending to be sleeping: Douyin just tells you how this is made. In the live classes of the online teachers who teach cosmetics, they will tell you how the products on Douyin are sold.
Feng Text: You can make your own, but what does it mean to use shells from other brands?

2. Ma Huateng and Zhang Yiming attack each other's hinterland, and Tencent and Toutiao are about to fight
On March 25, Tencent responded to 36Kr on WeChat Moments blocking Douyin, saying that this was just an anti-screen swipe setting for the link and there was no blocking. Previously, Weibo also chose to block Douyin. Judging from the sharing settings of Douyin, it is Instagram, QQ friends, QQ space, WeChat friends, Moments, Weibo and Meipai. At present, almost all Tencent products and Weibo have defended against them. On the surface, Tencent is afraid of affecting the experience of the Moments or fair competition, but behind it is a battle of social short videos. (Source: 36kr)
3. Bubugao responded to the ban on Alipay for the first time?
Recently, Walmart's stores in West China (including Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Chongqing) suspended Alipay to support WeChat payment, which has sparked heated discussions in the industry. Regarding the suspension of Alipay, Walmart China responded that it was "this is a business decision." However, just as Walmart stopped using Alipay, Bubugao Supermarket was subsequently exposed by users that it suspended its use of Alipay and promoted WeChat. On March 25, a relevant person in charge of Bubugao responded to the suspension of Alipay: The statement about the prohibition of using Alipay is inaccurate. In the past, Bubugao only had a small number of stores experimentally accessed Alipay, and it was not used by all stores. Now there are still business formats and stores that are still using Alipay. At the same time, Alipay's cooperation method is too strong. It only serves as a first-level entrance. It does not accept two-way access. We cannot accept such unfair cooperation. ” (Source: Lianshang.com)

6. Ma Huateng: Tencent only works in the bottom layer, not retail or commercial
March 25th, the 2018 China (Shenzhen) IT Leaders Summit officially opened today. Ma Huateng, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of Tencent Holdings, delivered a keynote speech on "Opportunities and Exploration of Digital China". Speaking of Tencent's recent layout on smart retail, Ma Huateng said that in the past, people believed that the new economy and traditional industries were mutually exclusive, but in fact they were complementary. Smart retail is first, good for payment, second, good for cloud, and third, good for advertising.

Taking restaurants as an example, there are 7 million restaurants nationwide. In the past, the IT system is very scattered. In the past two years, Meituan Catering Open Platform has connected more than 6 million of them. It has activated usability through intelligence +, ultimately improving consumers' dining experience. Not only in the catering industry, but also in the film, tourism and retail industries, Meituan provides core services such as IT, supply chain, finance to small and micro businesses in life services through the integration of big data, artificial intelligence and the real economy, driving the improvement of the effectiveness of the real economy and higher quality development.

8. Ma Huateng interprets Tencent’s new retail layout, saying that the outside world’s explanation is not in place
He first expressed his "dissatisfaction" in the current interpretation of Tencent's actions on Tencent's new retail field: "Many people asked us why we spent a lot of money to buy a large number of offline retail shares, and many analysts also analyzed it, but I think no one outside has written it yet." Afterwards, he personally went on the stage and gave an "official perspective" interpretation of Tencent's new retail layout:
First, it is good for payment. Payment also comes with financial services.
Second, the development of the cloud. In the future, cloud computing supports the physical industry's big data to use AI to process big data in the cloud. I think it is something that all companies must do. If we are connected well, our cloud will have even more advantages.
Third, another very important thing is advertising. So many offline and brand owners used to use traditional ground promotion, flyer delivery, or traditional advertising, but the efficiency was not high, and most of the money was wasted. If we use digital methods in the future, it will be better to adopt the effect advertising solution in our social system. (Source: Interface News)

10. Amazon account needs to submit multiple identity information
Recently, a new policy was introduced by the UK site: the secondary users of Seller Central in the UK were required to provide proof of identity, including a copy of their passport and a proof of residential address. "At first glance, my friend may be a little confused. What does secondary users mean? Secondary users are second-level users who are relatively to Amazon account holders, that is, users who are granted limited access and background operation permissions by the holders, also known as sub-account email. What impact does it have on the seller? The main effects are two major impacts of increasing costs and increasing association risks. We should remind everyone to check the information repeatedly when binding sub-account personal information. If the identity information of the sub-account is related, it is really hard to describe it. (Source: Yibang Dynamics)
