Basic logic: starting from the needs met by the mobile Internet, look at the traffic entrance and cash realization means of Internet companies. We believe that for Internet companies, the basic and high-frequency demand is generally the traffic entrance, and the advanced demand is the means of realization. We believe that the main directions in the future are: 1) basic demand – penetration or integration: the penetration rate of industries with high professionalism, such as internet medical, Internet Finance and other vertical fields, is still increasing, and industries with low professionalism but related to the rigid needs of daily life will be further integrated; 2) High level demand – high quality, compliance and diversification are the content and development direction: higher level demand is more likely to be born in Pan entertainment, games and other ecosystems.
