In this wave of live broadcast tide, in addition to the emergence of many new MCN institutions and new categories, there is also a kind of new business type: live broadcast base. On the one hand, anchors promote a number of goods every time they broadcast live, the update rate of goods is very fast, anchors need to have a sustainable source of goods; on the other hand, after the store joins the live broadcast, there is a need to find the right anchor. Under the condition that the anchor wants to find the goods and the goods want to find the anchor, the industrial base, which can accommodate the direct broadcast room and the sufficient supply of goods at the same time, has become a very good live broadcast scene. Hangzhou Tun and Direct broadcast Base was put into use in November 2018 because it is located in Xiasha, Hangzhou. In 2005, the surrounding anchors were rich in resources, so after the establishment of a large number of live broadcast organizations. Tuanhe base strictly screen the supply chain, carry out the final elimination every month, strictly ensure the quality and tonality of goods. According to the Amoy list, Tun Wo Base currently has 110 live broadcast rooms and more than 80 merchants, with monthly sales of hundreds of millions, ranking among the top three clothing bases in Taobao Live broadcast in June 2019. The existence of direct broadcast base has greatly solved the problems of less style, slow update speed and trouble in returning samples, and thus greatly improved the carrying efficiency of some categories. For example, jewelry and emerald, anchors are directly in Yunnan and other places. The wholesale market of jewelry producing area is broadcast live, the live goods are rich in reserve, the anchors bargain and pick up the goods in bulk, and the fans in front of the camera can place orders on the spot if they are satisfied. For example, clothing and shoes bags, anchors live directly in the clothing market, many styles for fans to choose from; if there are styles popular but out of stock, directly notify the factory to replenish the goods. At the same time, due to a certain degree of reduction of intermediate trade links, profit space has also been expanded.
Now that the boom of live ecommerce is unstoppable, are you ready for a new business culture?
Of course, the head network celebrities and stars in the large cargo army is only a very low proportion of people. Only Taobao broadcast a platform, tens of thousands of live broadcast every day behind thousands of anchor organizations and tens of thousands of individual anchors, each organization is a few, more than a few hundred anchors. Tens of thousands of anchors compete for limited traffic location and brand favor, must be few, the vast majority in the ranks of long tail.

Of course, as some new platforms continue to join the battlefield, there are still some categories of anchors with absolute monopoly power, but the competition is also more intense.
Compared with the operator's network MCN organization, live broadcast base is operating goods. MCN institutions have always faced the problem of head traffic network celebrities difficult to cultivate out of difficult to retain the problem. In contrast, the format of the live broadcast base focuses on the supply chain end, similar to the role of the direct broadcast of goods on behalf of the operation, in the operation of standardization, control of the supply chain, and so on more handy.
