2015 is the first year of 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino O2O，True to its name！My article on July 6 this year《2015 China 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino O2O Explosion，20 case review》中，Once divided 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino O2O practice into three major models: 1、Offline resources + online platform；2、Comprehensive resources + online platform；3、Online channels + offline channels。Among many 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino O2O companies，Lvmama, relying on its parent company Jingyu Group, is the only model involved in the three major types。December 17, 2015，Shanghai Jingyu Culture Communication Co., Ltd., the parent company of Lu Mama, is officially listed on the New OTC Market (securities abbreviation: Jingyu Culture，Code: 835188)，A step closer to the depth of the industry，And because of its positioning in the leisure and vacation market，Known as “China’s No. 1 Self-guided Tour O2O Stock”，The first year of 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino O2O in 2015 also came to a successful conclusion。

In China’s 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino industry，Lvmama and its parent company Jingyu Group are unique existences，It is difficult to compare it with traditional 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino enterprises (scenic spot planning、Travel agency、OTA, etc.) for analogy。After the rapid popularization of “Internet +” and O2O concepts，Lvmama and Jingyu Group quickly found the right position。Some people question why Jingyu Culture is not on the main board、Why log on to the New Third Board，Objectively speaking, this argument contains misunderstandings and prejudices。In fact，Every enterprise is in a complex and rapidly changing competitive environment，Will give priority to the road with the most favorable conditions at the time，The charm of market economy lies in diversification，The uniqueness of each company is the charm of the diverse and rich market，Homogenized models cannot escape the fate of being acquired or even disappearing，Things that can exist and develop independently must have their own unique competitiveness and value。So the analysis of the enterprise，I have never advocated simple comparison。

Lvmama and its parent company Jingyu Group are such enterprises that are difficult to classify，The business model is deeply involved in peripheral 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino、Domestic Travel、Outbound travel、Reservation of various leisure and vacation products such as business travel customized tours and Qichuang planning and design、Scenic Area 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino Marketing、Scenic 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino development and tent resort hotel business segment，Together constitute the 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino O2O industry chain of Jingyu Group。The industrial form is deep and broad，A single one-sided understanding and description is like seeing a leopard through a tube，The listing of Scenic Area Culture can serve as an example of long-term observation and research on 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino O2O。

One year ago，Hong Qinghua, chairman of Jingyu Group, once said that “what today’s 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino industry needs is the ‘law of the sky’ of win-win cooperation rather than the ‘law of the jungle’ of life and death”，This formulation is based on the development trend of the industry and the layout considerations of Lvmama and Jingyu Group，But upgrading on the demand side、Under the trend of supply-side reform，Why Jingyu Culture can be listed on the market，What are the profound meanings of Hong Qinghua’s “Law of the Sky”，What challenges do you face when landing？

Background conditions for the listing of 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino Culture

1. Leisure and vacation 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino has become a general trend

188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino has become a pillar industry of the national economy。According to data from the National 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino Administration，The total 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino revenue in 2014 was 3.73 trillion yuan，The comprehensive contribution of 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino to GDP is 6.61 trillion yuan，10% of total GDP.39%。The fastest growing segment is undoubtedly the online leisure and vacation travel sector，The transaction size of China’s online vacation travel market reached 332 in 2014.600 million yuan，An increase of 36 compared with 2013.2%。Will continue to maintain rapid growth of about 30% in the future，Expected to reach 803 in 2017.300 million yuan，An increase of 141 compared with 2014.5%；At that time，The online vacation travel market transaction size is expected to account for 16% of the overall online travel market.1%，Increase by 4 compared with 2014.2 percentage points。

The leisure and vacation scenes are mainly scenic spots、Entrance is at the ticket，The electronic ticket is a fast passage from the entrance to the consumption scene。Lvmama is the pioneer of electronic ticketing in China，Capital of this trend back in 2008，Although there have been many twists and turns，But I have been deeply involved in this field，After years of accumulation, we have gained a relative competitive advantage，Traveling around、Family-child tour、Occupied a place 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino rapid development of market segments such as self-guided tours，Laid the foundation for future trends。

2. The era of diversified vacation 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino is coming

The growth of per capita disposable income has increased the demand for 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino consumption，China’s economy is developing rapidly，China’s per capita GDP reached US,485 in 2014，The growth of disposable income drives the growth of residents’ travel demand，Residents’ demand for online vacation travel is increasing rapidly，At vacation destination、Vacation style、Vacation length and other aspects are showing a trend of personalization and diversification。Based on international experience，When GDP per capita reaches US,000，The vacation 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino market will enter a stage of rapid development。China exceeded 6,000 US dollars in 2013，Residents’ consumption concept has changed from restraining consumption to reasonable enjoyment，Marks the advent of the era of diversified vacation 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino。The biggest change for users in the era of diversified consumption is the increase in personalized needs，The rise of the new middle-class mainstream consumer group, especially represented by Millennials，The characteristics of its consumption can be summarized as: personalization、Mobile、Experientialization。To meet the diverse consumption needs of the emerging middle class，It requires efforts in two aspects - online booking efficiency and offline diversified products and experiential services，Having these two points at the same time requires deep integration of the industry chain。

3. The integration of industrial chains into 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino trends

The development of the leisure 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino industry has entered a new stage，The industrial chain will be further shortened、Efficiency improvement is the general trend。In the process of development，Retailers and upstream manufacturers、Wholesaler、District Travel Agency、Scenic spots and other scenic spots are shortening the industrial chain through various methods，The intensity is getting stronger，The entire industry is forming a trend of industrial chain integration，Especially with destination、Upstream resource parties represented by scenic spots，Resources are severely fragmented，In urgent need of gathering。

The traditional distribution channels represented by 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino agencies also need to be integrated more efficiently，This trend will undoubtedly improve consumer experience、Reducing the cost of intermediate links will greatly promote。

End of 2014，Donkey Mama takes the lead online，Relying on Jingyu Group for resources，Start deploying its O2O strategy，Starting in 2015。Within one year，Lvmama subsidiaries increased to 64，More than 100 stores，Covering many important tourist destinations and source areas across the country；2016，Lvmama subsidiaries will reach 100，2000 stores。If the experience and service layer of 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino O2O must be implemented，A decentralized approach must be adopted，Round to zero，Using local resources as the core of decentralization，Taking local services as the landing unit，Looks like scattered，In fact, it is closely related to the core of 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino O2O。Ctrip’s local activities、Locals from Qunar、Tuniu Controlled Island Hotel、Lv Mama takes the right to operate and manage the scenic spot、Haiwan.com has this consideration in mind when building branches in destinations，But if the fragmentation and integration of local resources are not strong enough，No offline resources to rely on，It is difficult to advance this strategy。Jingyu Group’s differentiated advantage is highlighted in this regard。Since the industrial layout involves the entire industry chain，So we must open the situation with an open mind of win-win cooperation，The proper meaning of Hong Qinghua’s “Law of the Sky” is deeply hidden in it。

4. O2O dual-line interactive integration has become an 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino consensus

Compared to O2O in other industries，Travel O2O is relatively slow to gain popularity，188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino O2O is developing rapidly on the mobile Internet、Industry industrial structure upgrade、Erupted under the comprehensive background of increasing consumer experience demand。Starting from September 2014，Representatives of the 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino industry have begun to clearly propose the general direction of 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino O2O，Start to affirm 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino O2O in terms of strategic positioning，For example: September 3, 2014，Baidu launches direct account，Clearly stated that it will focus on 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino O2O and other life service areas，Connecting people and services，Although the effect is not ideal，But it has started a new attempt at 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino O2O destination marketing；December 26, 2014，Qunar invested in the travel chain organization Travel Know-how，And became its second largest shareholder，Clearly stated that Qunar will combine offline resources to take the O2O direction of 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino；January 31, 2015，Chairman of Jingyu Group、Hong Qinghua, founder of Lvmama, delivered a speech titled "2015 is the key year for Jingyu Group to realize the 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino O2O ecosystem" at the annual meeting of his group，Clear the development direction of 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino O2O。

In the past year，It can be said that many links in the old six elements of 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino "food, accommodation, travel, shopping and entertainment" have formed a consensus and gradually deepened in the implementation of 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino O2O direction，From new startup company to OTA veteran、Back to the BAT giant，Industry participation has reached full swing。The next development of O2O will go beyond the stage of hype concept，Gradually deepening。Industry segmentation，Return to the essence of business，O2O dual-line interactive integration has become an industry consensus。

5. The merger and integration war of 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino giants has begun

With the slowdown in GDP growth and the stock market crash in the first half of the year、The beginning of capital winter，All industries are silent，The tide of mergers and acquisitions is surging: Didi Kuaidi’s marriage，The birth of New American University，Wanda’s 6 billion investment in Tongcheng，Ctrip strategically acquires eLong37.6% shares，Ctrip Qunar to integrate through share swap，JD.com、Hainan Airlines has successively taken over Tuniu，Beijing 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino Group acquires Home Inns for RMB 15 billion... The tide of mergers and acquisitions and integrations among industry giants is coming one after another，On the one hand, it is a manifestation of the maturity of the industry，On the other hand, it also accelerates the further integration of the upstream and downstream industry chains，Resource parties gather together to keep warm，It is difficult for pure channel companies to survive，Online Travel Wolidou、The vicious price war will end early。Returning to the essence of business and value attributes is the general trend，The complex industrial chain of the 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino industry will force all participants to collaborate for a win-win situation，Objectively follow the "Law of the Sky"，The 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino subdivision may present a richer and more benign ecology。

6. 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino operation capabilities have gradually become the standard for competitiveness

Industrial development is increasingly dependent on capital，Especially in the 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino industry，The addition of capital elements will quickly mature the industry，At the same time, the double-edged sword of capital will also cover up the bubble of false demand。But no matter what，Capital capabilities are increasingly becoming the key point for enterprises’ comprehensive competitiveness。Over the years，Lvmama’s capital and resource operations remain relatively independent in the strong capital ecology of giants:

In 2008, Lvmama 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino Network received angel investment;

September 2009，Mother Donkey receives Huaqiao Fund、DJ 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino’s tens of millions of yuan in Series A financing；

November 2010，Lvmama received a Series B investment of 100 million yuan 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino Sequoia Capital and CDH Ventures；

September 2011，Lvmama completed Series C financing 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino Jiangnan Capital and Sequoia Capital；

In 2013, Lvmama received linear 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino investment;

October 2014，Lvmama completed 300 million 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino in Series D financing；

December 4, 2014，China Construction Bank、Bank of Communications and Shanghai Pudong Development Bank signed strategic cooperation agreements with Shanghai Jingyu Culture Communication Co., Ltd., the parent company of Lvmama 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino Network，3 banks provide 5 billion yuan each、3 billion yuan and 2 billion yuan credit line，And provide financing credit support totaling 10 billion yuan to Jingyu in the next three years；

In June 2015, Lvmama signed a capital increase agreement with Jinjiang International 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino，Received RMB 500 million E-round strategic investment。

Major opportunities for deep 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino layout

In the context of consumption upgrading，Consumer demand for travel has evolved from low-quality group tours to self-guided and semi-self-guided tours with a combination of higher-quality single products，Advanced to a higher quality experiential self-guided tour，The consumption trend of China’s new middle class is coming，Changes and improvements on the demand side of 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino have put forward new and higher requirements on the supply side。

Hong Qinghua believes: “‘Supply-side reform’ helps China’s economic transformation，will bring greater dividends to the 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino industry。The problem of ‘insufficient effective supply’ is particularly prominent in China’s 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino industry，The rise of China’s middle class，The supply side of 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino products cannot meet its diversification、Personalized product requirements，Causing tourists to complain from time to time。Complaining will give you a chance，The dividends generated by the ‘supply-side reform’ of China’s economy are extremely huge。”I also mentioned the problem of supply and demand mismatch in China’s 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino industry chain in an event speech: Domestic consumption growth is declining，But Chinese residents are frantically shopping overseas，Domestic air passenger traffic growth rate is slowing down，However, cross-border travel continues to grow at a high rate，China has maintained a high trade surplus for many years，188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino trade deficit reached US0 billion in 2014。This means，Problems currently facing China’s 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino，Not in short-term demand，In the medium and long term, it can effectively meet the demand and supply of mainstream consumer groups。

The basic components of the 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino supply side include: primary suppliers、Tour Operator、It consists of four main bodies: travel agents (travel agencies) and tourists。The structure of the 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino supply side can be roughly divided into three basic types: (1) Linear 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino supply chain structure；(2) Network 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino supply chain structure；(3) New 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino supply chain structure。Information flow can be seen from these three basic supply-side types、Product flow and service flow are the three main lines of the 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino industry，In summary，The impact of the introduction of information technology on the 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino supply chain is mainly reflected in two aspects: First, the collaboration between 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino supply chain entities；The second is the reconstruction of the 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino supply chain。These two points are the essence of 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino O2O。So the in-depth development of 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino O2O requires breakthroughs in these two points，The virtual characteristics of 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino products further integrate the commodity flow into the information flow，188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino O2O is essentially information flow + service flow。Hong Qinghua’s understanding on this point is: with the advent of the era of mass leisure，“Internet+” has brought the 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino industry from the era of consumer Internet to the era of industrial Internet，The 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino industry innovates with value、Product、Service、Symbiotic economy is the core of competition and is facing ① market and people's hearts；②188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino Industry；③Three major reconstructions of 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino investment”。The core of reconstruction is not separated from the basic structure of information flow and service flow，Capital provides assistance on the basis of reconstruction。

In the current development process of China’s 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino O2O，Embodied travel product supplier、Core 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino enterprises (middlemen)、The common interests among the three tourists and the realistic needs of competitive development，188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino e-commerce is a service provider based on six major elements such as "food, accommodation, travel, shopping and entertainment"，Using the core enterprise as the organizational link，Communicate with tourists through the information flow of e-commerce platforms。Comprehensive characteristics of the 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino industry and the current development status of the domestic 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino supply chain，From the perspective of service flow，Catering in the 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino supply system、Hotel、Shopping、Entertainment、Scenic spots and other links are the core of 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino O2O offline services，Online OTAs such as Ctrip、Where to go、Lvmama and others will become important online channels；Companies with both capabilities have huge potential。

Challenges faced by "Law 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino Sky"

Only based on in-depth understanding and analysis 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino industry chain，Only by deeply understanding Hong Qinghua’s “Law 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino Sky”。The comprehensive experience demand on the consumer side requires the deep integration 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino supply side industry chain，To meet the needs of new consumer groups under the influence of "Internet +", industry O2O dual-line integration is required。"The Law 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino Sky" is the concept，Supply-side reform is the underlying logic，O2O closed-loop layout is the way to implement it。Hong Qinghua’s layout logic from strategy to strategy gradually becomes clear，But the call from the conceptual level，Supply-side reform，Even the implementation of O2O still faces many challenges。

1、The degree of informatization of traditional business formats is low，188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino penetration rate is growing slowly

From the perspective of online 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino penetration rate，The current penetration rate of online 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino in China is about 10%，And Asia Pacific reached 19%，USA 45%，European average 47%。According to iResearch monitoring data，The transaction size of China’s online travel market reached 3077 in 2014.900 million yuan，Online penetration rate reaches 9.2%，But the penetration rate only increased by 1 compared to the previous year.7 percentage points。The online air ticket market accounted for 62% in 2014.7%，The penetration rate increased by 1 percentage point compared with 2013；Online vacations accounted for 14% in 2014.6%，Proportion continues to rise，But the Internet penetration rate is only 2 higher than in 2013.4 percentage points。As of the end of 2014，The number of Internet users in China has reached 800 million，Among them, mobile Internet users reached 500 million，Accounting for 80% of the total Internet users，The average annual growth rate of Internet penetration exceeds 20%，The overall Internet penetration rate has reached 57.1%，But the Internet penetration rate of online travel is growing，Far lower than the average growth rate of Internet users。The segment that lowers the overall penetration rate is products other than air tickets and hotels in the leisure and vacation field，Tickets、Activity、Catering、Entertainment is seriously fragmented、Low online level、High integration costs、Very difficult，Difficult to solve in the short term。

2. Upstream 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino are highly fragmented and difficult to integrate

We have become accustomed to the high profile and noise of online companies，But I rarely hear the voices of many offline scenic spots，Not even familiar with the information infrastructure and logic behind business transactions。There is GDS in the air ticket field，The hotel has PMS，Whether it is Amadeus abroad、Sabre、ITA is also China’s TravelSky and many mature information products in the hotel field，Promoting machine + wine product booking informatization、Internetization and resource integration are indispensable，It is not an exaggeration to say that it laid the foundation for the development of OTA。However, scenic spot tickets are still the area with the lowest Internet penetration among many 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino products，Average about 2%，There are more than 20,000 scenic spots in China，More than 5,000 A-level scenic spots，153 5A-level scenic spots (as of the end of 2013)。Currently available tickets for scenic spots，The proportion of online bookings in paradise scenic spots accounts for 12%-15%，Landscape category is only about 2%-3%，Ancient town category、Ancient architectural scenic spots are even lower than 2%-3%。Severe resource fragmentation will make integration more difficult，Overseas resources for outbound 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino are more fragmented，The challenge is still not small。

3、The field of leisure and vacation has become a battleground for military strategists，Scenic Area Donkey Mother takes advantage 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino victory

Merge with Ctrip Qunar，The fierce price war between online travel companies will come to an end。But compared with the previous two years, the competition was mainly for front-end users，Several companies will compete for upstream resources and peripheral resources at the same time，O2O competition based on online information efficiency and offline resource layout will become the new normal。But this competition is not just between online OTAs，BAT、JD.com、Even Meituan、Dianping、Going to the market、58.com can also incorporate 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino O2O into its overall O2O strategy，Join the competition，You can notice it if you look a little wider，There are many intersections between 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino and life services，Meituan’s entry is the beginning，But it is by no means the end。

On the other hand，With mobile Internet，And the rise of the concept of "connection"，Traditional travel service companies that were originally downstream of OTAs are now gradually extending upwards，Building your own official website from the beginning，Go to major OTA platforms，Then develop an independent APP to attract customers，This includes Wanda、Hainan Airlines、Spring Airlines, etc.。Especially Wanda，Already acquired 11 regional travel agencies in the past year or so。Although OTA’s dilemma has been alleviated，But challenges remain，No core competitive barriers，As a carrier to “connect” users with travel services，The lack of solid 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino resources will still be a potential threat to its development。Travel O2O will also be a life-saving straw that online OTAs must cling to，Comprehensive competition based on O2O is inevitable in the future，No matter it is a strong BAT，The major OTAs are still backed by the "godfather"，There are also the "barbarians" at the door of the 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino industry。Donkey mother not only needs to be as sharp as an eagle，We must have the wildness of a wolf，Strategic vision and tactics implemented with strong execution，Because the cruel competition has just begun，Can the "Law of the Sky" come to fruition，Need the joint efforts of the whole industry，The newly launched Jingyu Culture also needs to practice it。
