Among this group of new entrants, there are many Internet companies who have been struggling for many years. Traditional retailer There is also an international electricity supplier with a share of the sea.

　　 Opportunities for overseas electricity suppliers

　　 Shanghai Free Trade Zone It became a heavy news in 2013, and how the unknown territory will adapt to the market in the future is still a mystery, but the eyes of the whole country and even the whole world have been attracted to this field. In view of the regional advantages and policy advantages of the FTA, cross-border electricity providers have become the dark horse of the electricity supplier under the policy of the free trade zone. Last week, the Shanghai free trade area cross-border e-commerce pilot platform was officially launched, and the "Hai Tong" as the representative of the Hai Tao business enterprise was righting the policy, and the overseas purchasing and purchasing policies and regulations for long-term "edge ball" became increasingly standardized.

In addition, China's electricity supplier business has attracted the attention of overseas business operators. In 2013, Blue Nile, the world's largest jeweller, listed China as the focal point of international business. The British fashion ASOS also launched a Chinese version of the page to support the payment of Renminbi and Alipay. But for these overseas businesses, the success of the international market does not mean that they can capture the shopping heart of Chinese consumers. For the time being, a few overseas electricity suppliers are still in the Chinese market.

Baidu's e-commerce plan to build a life service platform using maps and glutinous rice net has been increasingly clear. The joint operation of sina micro-blog and Alibaba has also opened the way of sina's commercials. The placement ads on micro-blog's Taobao are everywhere. Sohu, 360 and other Internet companies are also exploring ways of cooperation with the electricity supplier.

Internet companies are sitting on the flow entry and technology advantages. Compared with the electric business enterprises that have been operating for many years, there is a lack of mature business models. Acquisitions, business cooperation and other ways are just injecting business blood for themselves. Internet companies still need time to achieve their own hematopoiesis.
