1. Under the new normal, the copper industry has prominent problems, and the risk of overproduction is aggravated. Over the past period of time, the rapid growth in copper demand, copper prices and other factors driven by rapid growth in the global copper mining sector investment has increased significantly, the rapid expansion of industrial scale. In 2013, capacity was released centrally, creating the first excess capacity in the world's copper mines, and there is a risk that the global excess capacity situation will worsen in the coming years as new capacity continues to be released. The cost of production and operation of enterprises continues to increase. With the rising prices of raw and auxiliary materials, labor costs and financial expenses, the comparative advantages of low labor costs that China's copper industry had in the past no longer exist, and in recent years the copper industry has faced pressure for environmental protection, the investment in environmental protection is increasing continuously. Trade circulation cycle chain is too long. There is a multi-level distribution system in the traditional industrial chain of copper products trade, from copper smelters to traders, agents and terminal enterprises, the chain of trade circulation is too long and inefficient, which affects the long-term development of the whole copper industry.

The risk of business operation remains high. At a time when commodity markets are sluggish and demand is weak, and the regulation and supervision of trading in the commodities and copper industries are receiving widespread market attention, banks are tightening credit to control risks, causes the copper industry downstream customer financing difficulty, the liquidity to be tight, the loan to withdraw the blocked, the triangle debt question highlights. 2. "Internet plus" to the copper industry opportunities market space will be significantly expanded. The Internet will play a leading role in the future development of the entire Non-ferrous metal industry, and bring about a hundred billion market space, copper demand growth will regain the power to support. The pace of industrial transformation and upgrading will be further accelerated. After going through the information and trade stage, the final form of "Internet + Copper Industry" will be an "ecological e-commerce" with "four streams" of business flow, information flow, capital flow and logistics, at that time the copper industry value creation and value transmission link will be Internet, short process, low cost, high efficiency. Industrial Resources will be further concentrated to advantage enterprises. The boundary of enterprises will be broken, and the rational distribution and cooperation of production among different enterprises will make the industrial structure and capacity scale more reasonable after a period of reorganization and adjustment. 3. "Internet + Copper Industry" integration of the development of practical significance, reshape the trade model, greatly improve market efficiency. The deep integration of "Internet + Copper Industry" will effectively eliminate the Information asymmetry links in the copper industry chain, the copper producers will deal directly with the copper terminal consumers, greatly reduce the number of days in the inventory cycle, and reduce the financial costs, to truly make the benefit of downstream enterprises and end-users. Innovating financial service mode and effectively preventing trade credit risk. Under the Internet financial service pattern, the copper product trade transaction may adopt the third party "alipay" payment pattern, the electronic commerce platform, the transaction member and the bank and so on Financial Institution Division of Labor Coordination, the financing channel is more convenient, trading is safer and more efficient, greatly reducing the credit risk of participants. Innovating the spot trading mode and gradually leading the pricing right of domestic copper products. "Internet + copper" can directly connect the end consumers, producers and operators of copper products, and help to form a reasonable price that faithfully reflects the market demand. With the continuous increase of copper products and trading volume, the pricing power of domestic copper products will be expected to gradually shift from abroad to domestic. 4. The basic operation mode of "Internet + Copper Industry" trade transaction stage "internet + Copper Industry" integration development can be divided into three stages: information stage, integration trade stage and ecological e-commerce stage. The integration of "Internet and copper industry" started later than other commodities, such as steel and grain. Although the industrial form has begun to emerge, it is still in the relatively early stage of information and trade. According to the development history of "Internet + commodity" and "Internet + Copper Industry" , the "internet + copper industry" trading stage mainly includes information exchange platform mode and electronic trading platform mode. The mode of information exchange platform is a portal E-COMMERCE, which takes the information service as the cut-in point and takes the membership fee and the advertisement fee as the main profit mode. The mode of electronic trading platform is a kind of electronic commerce with transaction service as its starting point and transaction commission as its main profit mode.
