04 Looking back at the past consumer Internet record, will the “high red Teng” increase the position against the trend and return hugely?

In the era of the consumer Internet in the past 20 years, “Gao Hongteng” has created brilliant achievements, especially in the two largest markets, e-commerce and O2O consumer services. Let ’s take a look:

…… Have you been dizzy? Do you think that the good companies you know are included in them? Indeed, the past ten years of the Chinese Internet have been the era of rapid development of the consumer Internet.Almost every major M & A integration in the industry, you can see Gao Ling, Sequoia, and Tencent behind the scenes, such as reviews and Meituan, Ctrip and Where to go, Meishuo and Mushroom Street, Kazak and 58, full and truck Gang, Didi and Kuai, and Uber’s China business, Lebee.com and Vipshop.
