Beike / 贝壳

Beike appears in 汽水音乐冲击腾讯、网易，特斯拉等车企在国内开展大规模召回 as a real-estate platform whose growth is shifting from network expansion toward efficiency. The episode says first-half revenue fell 12% while net profit rose nearly 80%, second-quarter second-hand housing transactions rose about one quarter, and second-hand homes exceeded 50% of national housing transactions in the first half of 2026.

The source treats Beike as a Efficiency Over Scale Expansion case. When housing transactions move toward existing-home stock and store/agent counts are basically flat, profit improvement depends more on operating discipline than on simply adding more outlets or brokers.
