By researching the development mode of the combination of physical commerce and e-commerce in China, we explore the most feasible cooperation scheme between Walmart and JD.com by studying their strategic cooperation. It has certain reference significance for further construction improvement of the logistics system of domestic e-commerce enterprises.
