A large number of merchants flocked to Alibaba International Station for semi-hosting: the intention signing rate of the investment promotion conference reached 80%

Recently, Alibaba International Station launched the first cross-border B2B semi-hosting. After more than 20 days of investment promotion, a large number of merchants have poured in . It is reported that at the investment promotion meetings held in key industrial belts such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Qingdao, Yiwu, and Chengdu , many merchants signed contracts directly on the spot, among which the intention signing rate at the Yiwu investment promotion meeting was as high as 80% .

It is reported that the semi-hosting of Alibaba International Station can help all merchants to start overseas business with higher profits and independent operation more easily , especially attracting a large number of domestic merchants with spot goods to sign contracts on the spot. It is understood that under the semi-hosting of Alibaba International Station, merchants still operate their own stores, but the complex links such as logistics, funds, and after-sales can be entrusted to the platform , and as long as the door-to-door collection is completed, the payment can be received in seconds . Merchants can join as long as they have spot goods, and they can ship within 3 to 7 days.

The reporter observed that at the Yiwu Semi-Hosted Investment Promotion Conference of Alibaba International Station, companies like Aidu Clothing, which ranks first in sales in the yoga clothing category on the domestic trade platform, and Yiwu Kangchen, a big seller in the eyewear industry , have signed contracts to become the first batch of Alibaba International Station semi-hosted merchants.

"The first 'custody' trend of cross-border B2B is definitely coming. Compared with the C -end, we are more looking forward to receiving orders from medium and large B buyers on Alibaba International Station. " A domestic trade merchant in Yiwu said that semi - custody on the international station can help small and medium-sized sellers and new sellers solve the tedious fulfillment issues that they don't want to worry about.

"The full trusteeship model was effectively verified last year, and this year we are looking forward to the semi-trusteeship traffic. Compared with other platforms, the semi-trusteeship products on the international station are self-priced and the payment is fast - the payment is received as soon as the goods are collected, which is very friendly to merchants." Liu Mingyang, general manager of Yiwu Ou Chi Import and Export Co., Ltd., who has been working on Alibaba International Station for many years, has received many inquiries from Yiwu peers recently. He said that Yiwu is the city with the richest spot goods in China and has the gene of "trusteeship overseas". "It is impossible not to join this traffic track!"

While Alibaba International Station's semi-hosting has attracted the attention of merchants, a "semi-hosting Three Kingdoms War" is quietly unfolding in the cross-border e-commerce industry.

AliExpress actually started the semi-hosting trial run as early as August last year, and it was fully launched on January 8 this year. According to media reports, AliExpress, which was the first to try semi-hosting, has seen a rapid increase in orders for semi-hosted products from many merchants, and there are already many merchants with "monthly income of 10,000 orders" . The number of inquiries about semi-hosting has increased five times month-on-month.

The news that Pinduoduo's overseas version TEMU will be semi-hosted has also been leaked recently, mainly targeting merchants with overseas qualifications, starting with bank-to-bank.

Industry insiders believe that the introduction of the semi-trust model is a "new opportunity" for both domestic and foreign trade merchants. Merchants can choose a platform that is more suitable for them and obtain incremental orders . This greatly lowers the threshold for a large number of merchants who switch from domestic trade to foreign trade. The B2B foreign trade field , which used to have high profits but high barriers, can also be entered in a simple way through semi-trust ; secondly, semi-trust is suitable for a wider range of merchants , allowing them to quickly obtain high-quality logistics fulfillment services while maintaining independent operations.
