In the country, a large number of shops and convenience stores in villages and towns are filled with fake goods, and the prices of goods are more expensive than those in Beijing, which makes rural people pay higher costs and buy fake goods. If it is directly supplied by JD.com's supply chain in the future, the quality can be guaranteed and the price is very low.
In addition, Liu Qiangdong also expressed his hope to help all physical enterprises return to their original roots and make every profit based on creating value for the industry. (NetEase Technology)

Identification codes and password information are prohibited from being disseminated. Taobao, which used password codes to share, was affected and instead saved pictures with QR codes for sharing.
Previously, WeChat blocked Taobao links, and using WeChat, it is impossible to open Taobao websites; for this reason, Taobao uses password codes to share and disseminate. After clicking on sharing to friends on the Taobao page, the password code appears and enter WeChat to paste and send it to friends. After the friend copied the password code, he opened Taobao and jumped directly to the product page. (Beijing Youth Daily)
