In the future, offline stores will be more space media, and there will be a lot of profit space here.

5. Youzan's new version of the mini program is launched and added 3 functions to help friends
On the evening of the 28th, Youzan's official WeChat posted a message saying that the new version of Youzan mini program was launched. It is reported that in addition to optimizing and improving some of the original functions, the new version of the mini program also added three new functions: "Friends Help", support for gift card functions and support member card product purchases. Regarding the above three newly added functions, Youzan gave the following detailed explanation. It is understood that the knowledge payment marketing tool "Friends Help" is suitable for merchants who open mini programs and Youzan Knowledge Pay. Regarding the use of this function, Youzan introduced that the merchant’s backend can set “Friend Assistance” for one or more knowledge-paid products. The user clicks on the set “Product Details Page” and next to the purchase button, an invitation to “Friend Assistance” can be initiated. After the initiation, it can be shared with WeChat friends or WeChat groups. When the number of friends’ sponsorships meets the rules set by the merchant, the user can receive a free reward for this course. (Yibang Power)
6. Pinduoduo is expected to create a listing record in the future and needs to strengthen the shopping experience
According to the report on June 28, according to the "Chinese Entrepreneur", Pinduoduo, which became famous in 2018, will submit a listing document to the US SEC next week to sprint for the US stock market. CEO Huang Zheng said that he would not comment. Given that "Chinese Entrepreneur" is a credible and authoritative media in China and Huang Zheng's response is relatively ambiguous, I think this news is definitely the same. With the uncertainty of the future of the capital market, a large number of new economy companies are launching sprints to the US stock market/Hong Kong stock market in order to catch the last bus. After raising money, even the super unicorns Xiaomi and Meituan, who have been waiting for the opportunity to go public, have started to move, and the current listing time of Pinduoduo is not bad.
