In this regard, Dong Yuhui responded in the live broadcast room: "I can only talk nonsense and be embarrassed, that kind of occasion is like calling your child in front of your elders during the Chinese New Year and letting your child perform a backflip for you." ”

1+1>2

In terms of products, there were more than 180 links on the shelves in the live broadcast room of "Walking with Hui" that night, including fresh food, snacks, books, daily products, etc. Some of these products coincide with the Dongfang Selection live broadcast room, and the four products with the highest live broadcast sales have also appeared in the Dongfang Selection live broadcast room, due to the difference in product specifications and prices, the price is slightly different, but there is no Dongfang Selection self-operated products in the small yellow car.

According to the data of Cicada Mother, the total number of fans of "Walking with Hui" is 7.369 million, the cumulative sales of live broadcasts exceed 1 million, and the cumulative sales of live broadcasts exceed 100 million yuan. It is worth noting that the data shows that in the past ten days, the total number of fans in the Dongfang Selection live broadcast room has continued to decline, from 31.608 million on December 31 to 31.501 million at present, and sales have also fallen from more than 100 million yuan on December 18 to 10 million yuan to 25 million yuan on January 9.

CICC released a research report saying that Dongfang Selection's Douyin was basically stable, and Taobao and App contributed additional increments. It is expected that Dongfang Selection's revenue in the first half of FY24 will be 2.61 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 26%, and the adjusted net profit will remain stable year-on-year, about 600 million yuan (the adjustment includes about 2-300 million yuan of equity incentives), corresponding to an adjusted net profit margin of 22%, a year-on-year decrease of about 7ppt, mainly due to the increase in investment in the live broadcast business and the increase in the proportion of self-operated products with low profit margins. Despite this, the bank expects the adjusted net profit margin of the company's live streaming business to be stable year-on-year. Maintain the "outperform" rating of Oriental Selection and lower the target price to HK$36.

It is worth noting that the affiliated company of "Walking with Hui" is 100% controlled by Dongfang Selection, and the total amount of commodity transactions of the new account is included in the financial report of Dongfang Selection, and the two are not separated.

In the view of Zhang Shule, an industry commentator, the "small composition" incident happened suddenly, and the team with Hui was also preparing to be established and broadcast within a month, and it is difficult to achieve differentiated differentiation at present. He noticed that the live broadcast with Hui on the evening of January 9 had the style of emphasizing knowledge and bringing goods. Zhang Shule believes that the homogenization of the selection of products between the two sides is not a big problem now. "No matter which account it is, the fans are still in the traffic pool selected by Dongfang. It seems to dilute the followers of the 'Oriental Selection' account, but the total amount is actually growing. ”

Zhang Yi, CEO and chief analyst of iiMedia Research, also holds a similar view. He pointed out that through "walking with Hui", Dong Yuhui's personal IP has been strengthened, and other accounts have been diverted. However, the effect of the current implementation is that on the one hand, it has motivated the small team, and on the other hand, it has also brought incremental results to the overall performance of the company. "In essence, it is still about dividing the cake around the huge market, achieving the effect of '1+1>2'. ”
