the same news came out in April this year, when the first eco-conference of Tik Tok e-commerce was held, and Kang Zeyu explained the concept of "interested e-commerce" for the first time in his keynote speech. At that time, insiders in Tik Tok said that Tik Tok e-commerce had no plans to develop an independent e-commerce APP at present. "We don't rule out trying various forms, but we really haven't come to a conclusion about independent apps.".
According to Tech Planet's previous report, a person familiar with the matter revealed that the idea of making an independent e-commerce APP has been going on for some time. Tik Tok e-commerce president Kang Zeyu and other senior executives do not want to excessively attach their e-commerce business to Tik Tok, but take Tik Tok APP as the basis of e-commerce business and make new explorations.
in the past few years, Toutiao Department and Tencent Department, as two high places of Internet traffic, are both looking for opportunities for e-commerce. It's hard not to think of Pinduoduo if Tik Tok wants to promote an independent APP for e-commerce.
