In ancient China, there was also a culture of middlemen making the difference, how is it different from now? Middlemen make the difference this is the essence of business, there is no essential difference between ancient and modern China and foreign countries, there is only a difference in form, in ancient times the ** of commodities is not transparent, businessmen grasp the absolute initiative of commodity trading, middlemen and consumers grasp the information is not equal, whether it is China's domestic goods ** or domestic merchants and foreign merchants commodity transactions, consumers are not aware of the initial cost of goods, which leads to the final transmission of goods to the hands of consumers ** is completely agreed by the middle.

Although the essence of the middleman to earn the difference is not any difference between ancient and modern China and foreign countries, but with the increasing development of modern Internet technology, the way of commodity trading is constantly advancing with the times, we are familiar with the online shopping platform, Jingdong and Pinduoduo, China's three major online shopping platform giants, although the emergence of the online shopping platform greatly facilitates the transaction of goods, but their essence is that the merchant earns the price difference between consumers and manufacturers, the only difference is that the online shopping platform is transparent. Consumers of the same product can easily compare the most preferential merchants by shopping around, and through the comparison of the goods of multiple merchants, the goods presented in front of consumers are completely transparent, and there is no information asymmetry.

However, there is still a certain difference between the live broadcast that is in full swing and the form of the ancient merchants to make the difference, of course, the goods brought by the anchor must be directly entrusted by the original manufacturer, of course, the manufacturers who directly entrust the anchor to bring the goods are generally just starting out, and have not yet formed a small manufacturer with word-of-mouth and popularity among consumers. In this form of bringing goods, the anchor's income is obtained through commissions. And if the goods brought by the anchor are still the goods that he buys from other channels, and he resells them to consumers in the form of live broadcasts, then this form of bringing goods is essentially a price difference, which is in line with the essence of ancient transactions.

Now the management of this aspect is very strict, in ancient times, there were no clear regulations, and the status of merchants in ancient times was relatively low, so this kind of behavior was despised.

There is a big difference. First of all, the charging methods of the two are different, the charging standards are different, and the forms of existence are also very different.

Different forms, different purposes, different benefits, different effects, different scopes, and different channels.
