For example: insurance direct purchase O2O, Suning.com O2O, Dianping O2O, etc.
C2C is consumer to consumer, meaning person to person, such as small shops on Taobao.
B2C is business to consumer, meaning businesses selling to individuals, like many platforms such as Amazon China, Dangdang, JD.com, etc.
