Firstly,we should have made a classification to the basic connotation of VAM which were given in the previous researches and pointed out those vague problems. It should be made clear that VAM should be a kind of convention that the transaction subject is not certain for the future.Secondly in the aspect of rationality of VAM, VAM could effectively boost transaction efficiency, reduce transaction costs and ease transaction risk.
