is the e-commerce platform we often talk about, and it is also the e-commerce platform that has joined the most sellers in recent years. It is also known as the Taobao of South East Asia. The platform is mainly aimed at low-end consumer groups, with a wide range. The operating platform starts with distributing goods, and then shifts to refined operations; the seller has a low entry threshold, no fees for opening a store, and no commissions for the first three months.

Lazada is an e-commerce platform invested by domestic Alibaba. At present, the directors of Alibaba have been fully responsible. They all say that Ali wants to build a South East Asia version of JD.com, and I believe that the development potential is also great.
