比如你看上了一款爱马仕的包，但要想买到手，还需要买爱马仕的拖鞋、皮带等周边产品。 那么为什么会出现这种情况呢？ 作为经销商的你，有没有遇见厂家强制配货的时候。 就是我打款定一批货，品牌方业务员说必须要搭配这些货，我才能给你发货。 这个套路是不是很熟悉。 没错在奢侈品行业，这属于基本操作。 这是因为奢侈品的产品本身具有稀缺性，一款包分配到每家店里都有数量限制，但想要购买的人不少，因此你要想拥有优先购买权利，就必须要配货，配 货的价格越高，拿到心仪的包的概率才越大。 比如就有人花140万配货仍被拒。 所以但这个看上去并不"公平"的潜规则，并没有人质疑。 回到快消品行业，为什么在如此内卷的今天，品牌方还会给经销商搭配产品呢？ 首先能够实行这种策略大概率是一线品牌，而且是一线品牌里的畅销产品。 品牌方业务员会告诉你，今年政策很好，你做的又是畅销大单品，但是我不能把你的款全部安排成畅销大单品，一是货太好卖了，数量有限，我们要均衡 其他地区的市场需求，所以给到我手里只有这么多。 二来呢，公司今年也出了一些新品，我手上也有任务，所以要给你配点货，帮你增加产品sku，如果新品卖起来了，对你来说也是好事。 那如果经销商拒绝呢？ ...

拒绝妥协，欧美谈判进展缓慢 全球奢侈品巨头LVMH掌门人Bernard Arnault罕见地对欧美关税谈判进展表达了的不满。 周三，Bernard Arnault在法国议会听证会上直言不讳地批评欧盟与美国的谈判"开局不利"。他敦促欧盟 与特朗普政府进行"建设性"谈判，并特别指出英国迅速与华盛顿达成贸易协议的成功案例。 Bernard Arnault说道， 谈判必须以建设性方式推进......需要双方互作让步。你们看到英国人的做法，他们谈判得非 常出色。我希望凭借我有限的资源和关系网，能够说服欧洲采取同样建设性的立场。 这位奢侈品巨头掌门人认为，美国是全球最大市场，对欧洲而言与美达成协议至关重要。"就目前来 看，我认为谈判开局相对不利。" Arnault与特朗普保持着私人关系，两人相识数十年，他出席了特朗普1月的总统就职典礼。 按市值计算，LVMH是欧洲最大的企业之一。在奢侈品行业本就面临销售放缓之际，关税可能进一步冲 击该行业销售。 美东时间5月21日周三，媒体援引知情者消息称，欧盟预计将向美国分享一份修订后的贸易提案，双方 将持续讨论这些提议，目标是下月初举行政治层面的会晤。 不过，欧美谈判进展依然十分缓慢 ...

欧盟、日本都准备对小包裹收税，Shein、Temu 们的压力更大了。 据媒体报道，欧盟计划取消价值低于 150 欧元（约 170 美元）的小包裹免税政策，去年欧盟市场大 约有 46 亿件这样的包裹，其中超过 90% 来自中国。这些包裹经由亚马逊、Shein、Temu 等跨境电 商平台卖到欧洲。直接寄给消费者的小包裹将被征收 2 欧元的税，发到欧洲本地仓库的包裹将被征 税 0.5 欧元。 日本也有同样计划，此前价值低于 1 万日元（约合 495.56 人民币）的进口商品免征关税和消费 税，2026 年详细税收新政出来后，这样的免费政策可能被取消。 Temu、Shein 等中国跨境电商平台原本准备准备从美国之外的市场找到更多增量，上个月两家都增 加了在欧洲的线上广告投放。这可能是为了弥补美国市场的影响：5 月 2 日起，所有寄往美国价值 不超过 800 美元的包裹都要被征税。但现在美国之外的市场压力也更大了。 百度一季度营收同比增长 7%，AI 相关收入增速超过 100%。 百度 2025 年一季度核心营收（不含爱奇艺）达 255 亿元，同比增长 7%，净利润同比增长 48% 至 76.3 亿元。管理层在电话会上 ...

21世纪经济报道记者贺泓源、实习生谭伊亭 报道 阿里影业正在弱化自己的电影概念。 一个明显的表现便是，更名。2025年5月21日，阿里大文娱集团宣布即日起更名为虎鲸文娱集团，旗下 阿里影业拟更名为大麦娱乐。 对于阿里影业更名，阿里方面回应称，随着过去几年该公司业务版图的不断扩充，"影业"已经不能涵盖 公司全部的业务场景。"我们除了电影，还有演出、商业衍生、剧集、艺人经纪等多个业务板块，更名 将更符合公司未来多元化发展的需求。"阿里影业提到。 对于未来战略，阿里影业表示，未来其将以"娱乐和AI"作为两大战略关键词，努力成为亚洲领先的、具 有科技基因的现实娱乐公司。 对于现实娱乐（Real-life Experience），阿里方面解释为，这是一种区别于数字化、碎片化、虚拟化等 数字娱乐方式的现场娱乐方式，更强调现场体验、互动体验和沉浸体验。 前述种种说法，看起来都离电影很远。 阿里影业更名背后是，电影市场低迷。今年五一档票房7.47亿元，同比下滑51.1%。其中，日均票房1.5 亿元，接近10年来最低（不含2020及2022年）。 这也影响了阿里影业的业绩。最新财年，阿里影业将电影相关分部合并为"电影科技与投资 ...

本以为这又会是一场激烈的唇舌之战，没想到这次竟然达成了惊人的共识：上海、深圳，曾经光芒四射的两大一线城市，如今正经历着诡异的蜕变： 陆家嘴的江景豪宅旁，外卖员们挤在月租仅500元的棚户区。 深南科技园人才公寓点灯率不高，但隔壁的城中村握手楼却每晚都热闹非凡。 恒隆广场的LV门店冷冷清清，街角的"一元购"快消店却天天排满了长队…… 这些景象的背后却藏着三大怪象，开始逐步蔓延，且值得我们每个人深思。 .01 千万豪宅与贫民窟"共生" 大城市核心区房价收入比高达100：1，相当于普通打工人不吃不喝起码要100年才能买得起核心区一套房。而一墙之隔的城中村租金却在"跌跌不休"。 比如上海前滩，不少豪宅单价突破25万/㎡，有钱人品尝着上万元一口的红酒，站在前海深圳湾一号的窗前惬意地俯瞰夜景。而旁边的城中村大排档里， 打工人却在为6元一份的炒粉讨价还价。 豪宅与贫民窟，如孪生兄弟般紧紧相邻，一墙之隔，却是两个截然不同的世界。 这种"冰火两重天"的景象，其实是楼市财政畸形发展的结果。城市运营把核心地块高价出让给开发商，却将拆迁成本转嫁给城中村改造，最终造成了"豪 宅区吸血，贫民窟造血"的恶性循环。 为了"抢人"，这两年四个一 ...
