Question
John Lam from UBS Group AG inquired about the Beihaojia business, specifically its contribution to new home development and how its Customer-to-Manufacturer (C2M) business model is being implemented and reflected.
Answer
CFO Tao Xu explained that Beihaojia's C2M model uses Beike's massive database to provide developers with data-driven insights for project positioning and product design. He noted a total investment of about RMB 2.3 billion in related projects, with one project achieving a nearly 30% IRR, validating the model's ability to enhance sales certainty. Key advantages include a deep understanding of consumer needs and strong market pricing capabilities derived from Beike's core platform data.
