E-commerce originated from English ELECTRONIC COMMERCE, abbreviated as EC. As the name implies, its content includes two aspects, one is electronic mode, and the other is business activities.
E-commerce refers to the use of simple, fast and low-cost electronic communication methods to conduct various business activities without meeting buyers and sellers. E-commerce can be completed through various electronic communication methods. Simple, for example, you conduct business activities with customers by phone or fax, which seems to be called e-commerce; Now people are discussing e-commerce, mainly through EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) and the Internet. Especially with the maturity of Internet technology, the real development of e-commerce will be based on Internet technology. So some people call e-commerce IC (Internet Commerce) for short.
From the perspective of trade activities, e-commerce can be realized in multiple links, or it can be divided into two levels. The lower-level e-commerce is e-commerce, e-trade, e-contract and so on. The most complete and advanced e-commerce should be to use the Internet to carry out all trade activities, that is, to completely realize information flow, business flow, capital flow and partial logistics on the Internet. In other words, you can negotiate with customers online, place orders, pay (receive) money, open electronic invoices and even pay taxes through electronic customs declaration in one go.
To achieve a complete e-commerce will involve many aspects, besides buyers and sellers, banks or financial institutions, government agencies, certification bodies, distribution centers and other institutions need to join. Because the parties involved in e-commerce don't know each other physically, the whole process of e-commerce is not a copy of business activities in the physical world. Online banking, online electronic payment, data encryption, electronic signature and other conditions and technologies play an important and indispensable role in e-commerce.
Business negotiation is a negotiation between the parties to achieve certain economic goals and clarify the rights and obligations of both parties. A careful study of the characteristics and principles of the negotiations is the guarantee for the success of the negotiations. Business negotiation is a social and economic activity integrating policy, technology and artistry.

trade
Trade is a voluntary exchange of goods or services. Trade is also called commerce. Trade takes place in cities. The most primitive form of trade is barter trade, that is, direct exchange of goods or services. Modern trade generally uses media to bargain, such as currency.
The emergence of currency (and later letters of credit, paper money and non-physical currency) greatly simplified and promoted trade. The trade between two businessmen is called bilateral trade, and the trade between two or more businessmen is called multilateral trade. There are many reasons for the emergence of trade. Due to the specialization of the labor force, individuals will only engage in a small type of work, so they must obtain necessities through transactions. The trade between two regions is often because one place has a comparative advantage in producing a certain product, such as better technology and easier access to raw materials.
