Founded in 2004, Dunhuang.com is committed to helping Chinese SMEs enter the global market through e-commerce platforms. It is China’s first B2B cross-border e-commerce trading platform. At present, it has achieved more than 1.4 million domestic suppliers online, 7.7 million online products, covering more than 220 countries and regions around the world, with a scale of 15 million buyers, and 100,000 buyers purchasing online in real time every hour.
Founder Wang Shutong has also witnessed the development of China’s e-commerce in the past 20 years. He has worked for multinational companies such as Microsoft and Cisco. In 1999, he participated in the creation of China’s earliest B2C trading platform, Joyo.com, and established Dunhuang.com in 2004. Unlike most cross-border e-commerce companies, Dunhuang.com has always adhered to the to B strategy. Wang Shutong said that the to B direction is very difficult, which is why many people have not done it, “because compared with many business models, it is slower, takes a long time, and requires more investment. It requires patience and sufficient concentration.” After experiencing the blowout period of domestic cross-border e-commerce platforms, the B2B model has ushered in new opportunities. “First, to C has reached a certain ceiling; second, there are actually Chinese policies in it. Going out, transforming and upgrading, Chinese companies have this mission.” Wang Shutong said.
In January 2017, the head of the Foreign Trade Department of the Ministry of Commerce said that the Ministry of Commerce will further promote the pilot of new formats such as cross-border e-commerce, market procurement and foreign trade comprehensive service enterprises, continue to increase export credit insurance and financial support, strive to improve the level of trade facilitation, further strengthen trade cooperation with the “Belt and Road” countries, and implement active and effective import policies. In fact, DHgate has been planning the online Silk Road since its establishment. In November 2015, the China-Turkey (Turkey) cross-border e-commerce cooperation initiated and facilitated by Wang Shutong successfully signed a memorandum of understanding, which means that the “Belt and Road” online Silk Road has fired the first shot, and DHgate has become the only contractor of the China-Turkey cross-border e-commerce platform. A year later, DHgate became the only contractor of the China-Peru (Peru) cross-border e-commerce platform.
In the era of digital trade, DHgate will upgrade from a pioneer of cross-border e-commerce to an integrator and enabler of the world’s leading digital trade ecosystem. Specifically, in 2017, Dunhuang.com will improve two platforms – transaction platform and service platform. In addition to the B2B cross-border e-commerce transaction platform, there are also service platforms covering payment, finance, warehousing, logistics, customs inspection, taxation and exchange, etc., which are all cross-border trade services. By integrating Chinese and global service providers in the industrial chain, we will jointly lead the development of the global digital trade ecosystem. In addition, Wang Shutong said that in 2017, Dunhuang.com will also achieve two sinking: first, sinking to China’s industrial belts, such as wedding dresses and light industrial products in Suzhou, and various electronic products in Dongguan. Dunhuang.com hopes to sink to more than 2,000 industrial belts in China, provide them with a complete set of solutions, and help them conduct digital trade; second, sink to overseas markets and establish flagship stores and franchise stores overseas. Dunhuang.com’s overseas flagship store is called Digital Trade Center (DTC), and the first one will be established in Hungary soon, and will be established in Malaysia and New Zealand next. The digital trade center integrates the three functions of marketing, transaction and service. In the future, Dunhuang.com will not only have online transaction methods, but also implement transactions in the offline digital trade center. At the same time, pre-sales, in-sales and after-sales services and local marketing and training functions are integrated in the digital trade center.
