Various slogans during the epidemic.

During the epidemic, people stayed indoors and tried not to go out except to buy necessities in the supermarket. In this case, online shopping is bound to become popular. Although it is inconvenient to shop without meeting, you don't have to venture out to buy it, and it is really convenient to send it to the door of the community by express delivery.

I remember that in the spring of 2003, after the SARS epidemic swept through China, Ma Yun's Taobao was launched. Ma Yun has long realized that online shopping will bring a lot of convenience to people. With the development trend of the times, pigs standing in the air will also fly. In the past seventeen years, e-commerce has long been accepted by people. Although the real economy has its irreplaceable elements, it can't stop the development of e-commerce.

Take my current real economy as an example. There is a small commodity city under my unit, which deals in all kinds of commodities, including all aspects of life. There is a slogan in our shopping mall: take a walk in the small commodity shopping mall and live at home. Ten years ago, it was an ideal place for many young people and migrant workers to shop. The consumption level here is much lower than that of large shopping centers, but the working class among the poor still accounts for the majority. So at that time, the business of Commodity City was so prosperous that the transfer fee of a booth was fired to several hundred thousand yuan. With the development of network economy, these customers who belong to small commodity city are attracted by nine yuan and nine packages of mail. Even needles, threads and brains can be bought online, and the price is by no means more expensive than that of commodity cities, so most people have moved to the internet. Nowadays, there are far fewer customers in Commodity City than ten years ago, and many customers still choose to shop online after coming to the scene for comparison.

In this COVID-19 epidemic, the Commodity City was forced to close, and people had to pay for goods from the e-commerce company WeChat. It can be seen that in the case of disasters, epidemics and wars, the advantages of WeChat business as an e-commerce company are still very obvious. However, with the end of the epidemic, people who stay at home will still go out shopping in droves and enjoy the fun of on-site shopping. Some people have become accustomed to online shopping and become long-term online shoppers.
