A matchmaking event for micro, small and medium-sized businesses in Inner Mongolia autonomous region and Heilongjiang province took place in Baotou, an economic hub of Inner Mongolia, on Dec 9.

Over 70 chambers of commerce, associations and enterprises from the two regions attended the event and showed off their products. A total of five strategic cooperation agreements were inked during the event.

The event also saw the launch of the Inner Mongolian operating center of a mobile community service platform called Midoushu. Midoushu is internet-based and offers technical services, platform operations, supply chain channel construction, contract agriculture, cultural transmission, catering brand building, and logistics and warehousing.

One of its projects is a community-based plan to turn recreational vehicles into stores, aiming to build an online to offline service platform integrating offline sales networks and online social media stores. Another poverty relief project supports direct supply, allowing consumers to buy products from the place of origin, and results in a system of "producing according to sales", so as to contribute to the selling and marketing of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises' products.

During the event, Midoushu projects signed cooperative agreements with Baotou Northeast Chamber of Commerce, Inner Mongolian Leading Enterprises Association of Husbandry Industrialization, Inner Mongolian Association of Potatoes, and the video marketing platform lekebaba.cn.

From now on, Inner Mongolian and Heilongjiang's enterprises will strengthen cooperation, buy products direct from farmers, and sell products both online and offline through the Midoushu platform. In this way, Inner Mongolia's quality agricultural products can be sold to the northeast region and even the entire country, and vice versa. This partnership partly addresses the difficulties that the two regions have in selling agricultural products, as well as their employment problems.
