DHgate.com CEO Shares Insights at New Zealand Go Global International Business Forum
BEIJING, May 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- On May 26, Founder and CEO of DHgate.com Ms. Diane Wang and top cross-border e-commerce exporter Mr. Tom Chen shared their experiences and insights about cross-border e-commerce with small business owners from New Zealand at the Go Global International Business Forum, New Zealand's biggest international business event. Their presentation, called "Disruptive and Transformative," streamed live to Auckland, New Zealand from the cities of Beijing and Shenzhen, China.
'DIANE WANG - DISRUPTIVE AND TRANSFORMATIVE'
Diane Wang's presentation was called "Disruptive and Transformative," because of the profound effect that B2B cross-border e-commerce has had on the international trade industry, due to the maturing ecosystem of cross-border e-commerce that includes integrated solutions in areas such as international logistics, payment, internet finance, marketing, tax assistance.
She explained the opportunity for New Zealand small businesses to be able to ship their fabulous products all over the world, despite their remote southern location. Wang highlighted the e-commerce boom in China that has directly created 15 million jobs and 30 million indirectly. She said, "Today, even in the most rural parts the country, village elders can sell handmade baskets to tourists in Las Vegas, and housewives from suburban China can ship their homemade dresses to women in Paris."
Wang predicted the future of e-commerce, saying "as we are adopting ecommerce, ecommerce is also quickly adopting the new behavior of global business. Online or offline, there is no line at all. The different business formats are merging to provide global business people with the friendliest purchasing experience. The boundary between the two businesses formats is becoming more and more vague; what is left is the quality of goods and service."
Her closing remark was: "I hope you can take away from today that cross-border e-commerce is an inevitable global trend. In business, only those who adapt to new environments, and adopt new market rules can survive and prosper."
