I believe only short and easy-to-remember domain names are sustainable, regardless of where in the world you live and which cultural background you come from.

Now that the Chinese domain market has become a hot topic, I myself want to understand this trend too. Is there any real meaning behind each domain name sold in China? Here, I'd like to share with you what I've found as I read the Chinese news everyday.

GZX.com
GZX can stand for 更自信 (even more self-confident) which can be used in many fields such as education, self-help, and even consumer products to raise your self image.

XLY.com
XLY can stand for 夏令营 (summer camp) or 新领域 (new field) which can be used in recreation and high-tech products.

A little off thread but this will ultimately effect all financial transactions. Very interesting simple explanation.
Thanks. DCEP may be a game changer. Traditional banks are no longer needed. All you need is your phone with the central bank app downloaded to act as your bank account. Offline transaction is possible and money can be sent to a friend by bumping your phones. According to the plan, all stores in China will be required to accept DCEP. At least these are all the features I have read. We'll see its impact in a few years.

I had some domains about wine and a few days ago sent them to "nameliquidate" because I was not sure about their future.
1stjiu.com
530jiu.com
740jiu.com
exjiu.com
itsjiu.com
jiummy.com
justjiu.com
9jiu5.com
anyjiu.com
ciao9.com
docjiu.com
forjiu.com
icejiu.com
jiuenjoy.com
jiuice.com
jiuici.com
jiuicy.com
jiumix.com
medjiu.com
sixjiu.com
teyijiu.com
ayajiu.com
321jiu.com

The same with some kafei domains.

My question is about prices, on 4.cn I do not see great transactions/offers about this kind of domains so I decided to liqiuidate.
A part from mine, isn't the market a very big one ? is there a request for wine/coffee related domains ?

My own strategy is to sell my domains to the whole world including China. If you want to target China only, I suggest you do end user research before acquiring a domain. Try these 3 simple steps: https://domainnamewire.com/2020/03/05/chinese-end-user-research/

Also, if you want to invest in Pinyin domains, understanding the Chinese language will be very helpful. (BTW, I don't invest in Pinyin domains even though I am Chinese.)

"We'll see its impact in a few years" Kassey the impact will be instant in China as the PRC and BSN Alliance ensure the transition to RMB / Yuan will be seamless. {RMBduihuan com - YuanDuihaun com}
The global markets are playing catch-up. LIbra and eventually all sovereign currencies will introduce digital systems within one year IMO designated continents will compete in the exchange markets ?

Would the .COM's of these be very valuable?

Short numeric domains up to 4N have genuine demand from Chinese end users, so they will remain valuable for a long long time. Longer numerics are rarely seen in corporate China but still are traded among speculators. As long as speculators believe there is value in long numeric domains, I guess the game will continue for a long long time. I must admit that I can't explain why some long numeric domains sell for even 5 figures. I stay away from niches that I don't understand and numeric domain is one of them.

I mean there is the obvious 5201314.com, that one is definitely of significant value.

Looking at the list I provided, every single one of them is taken in .com with some also taken in multiple extensions.

Sure. Just for fun, here is a 13N domain.

2202251314520 Ai Ai Ni Ai Ai Wo Yi Sheng Yi Shi Wo Ai Ni (爱爱你爱爱我一生一世我爱你=love you, love me, and I love you forever)

You can hand reg that it's available :). I feel like there is a limit, maybe MAX is 7N for such a name. If you look, 5201314.com is taken in 67+ TLDs I'd say it's probably a $xxx,xxx domain due to the meaning and overall tld demand.

There are probably, very very few long numeric domains like 5201314.com in which you can actually see a commercial use. Probably less than 200. My guess is all the good ones have been taken many years ago, probably early 2000s. 5201314.com has been registered since 2006, 1314258.com since 2001, 770880.com since 2006, 775885.com since 2004.

5201314 Love you forever
1314258 Love me forever
770880 Kiss you Hug you
775885 Kiss me Hug me

Don't you think these could be used commercially for something related to the "love " industry i.e dating, wedding jewelry, matchmaking? Also to be clear 5201314.com is the one that is heads and shoulders above the rest as its a colloquial numeric term.

I rarely come across numeric domains beyond 4N used by Chinese end users. This is a niche that I don't understand so I have never invested in any numeric domain.

@Kassey Lee Acquired SF21.com.

I know from researching your posts that 21 rhymes with 爱医 (love doctor), 爱意 (love), 爱衣 (love clothes), and 爱一 (love one), now what about SF? It looks like it can have a lot of different meanings but the most common that I've seen has been for 私服 SiFu (Private Server) which is very common in gaming and many CN sites related to gaming servers start with SF or end with SF. Any other meanings for SF you think would work?

A quick check suggested that SF is an acronym for more than 50 Pinyin expressions, such as Shen Fen (身份=identify), Shuang Fang (双方=both parties), and Shu Fu (舒服=comfortable).

These days I don't bother to show Chinese meanings of my 4C domains which I own many. I just listed them with BIN on Afternic (fast transfer) and wait for money to come into my bank account. I sold an LLNN domain last week for $2980 but no meaning was given.

Sounds like a nice life with LLNN.com :xf.grin::xf.grin::xf.grin:

Lol, it won't let me clear that image. That's me on Apex though :xf.cool:.

@Kassey Lee really like the BB double letter at the start of this one, I know it's commonly used as 宝宝(baby) but there is probably many other meanings that could be derived from it. JN is also an interesting ending it could work for business based in Jinan济南.

What do you think?

It's an excellent domain, imho. BB is good both the the west and China. (Remember the branding story of changing from Strawberry to BlackBerry?)

I won't put Bao Bao (宝宝) and Jinan济南 together. They don't make a good brand. Instead, I'd try Bao Bao Ji Neng (宝宝技能=baby skills). Imagine how many parents would love their babies to acquire skills as early as possible to become smart kids! Products, virtual training courses, etc.

Any thoughts on it's potential uses?
