Snatching merchants, riders and customers vicious competition in Wuxi takeaway market was urgently stopped.
Wuxi, China Broadcasting Network, April 13 (Reporter Li Xingjian Xiao Yuan Intern reporter Huang Ziyang) According to the Voice of China report, on April 9, Didi Takeaway ended its eight-day trial operation in Wuxi and announced its official launch. With the "catfish" of Didi entering the takeaway industry, the "melee" outside of travel has opened up a new battlefield.
Grab users, grab merchants, grab riders, Didi Takeaway, Meituan Takeaway and Hungry, three take-away platforms launched an all-round contest in Wuxi. Businessmen who thought they could make a lot of money found that the situation of exploding orders made them unable to pick up at all, and a barbecue shop actually received more than 300 orders in one night; Users who originally wanted to take advantage of the "discount" also found that their orders frequently overtime, and the take-out at noon arrived in the afternoon; The foreign riders who flew to Wuxi to "gold rush" wanted to earn thousands of dollars a day, but the electric cars they just bought had to be disposed of at a reduced price after 48 hours. What happened in the 48 hours from April 9 to 11?
"A portion of braised chicken only costs 1 cent … …” "Afternoon tea is full of 20 yuan minus 18 yuan, and a cup of milk tea is 2.7 yuan … …” "The original price is 29 yuan, and the first order can be reduced by 20 yuan. You can also superimpose the merchant’s discount, calculate the delivery fee and packaging fee, and actually pay 0 yuan." Since April 9, with the official announcement of Didi Takeaway in Wuxi, various incredible screenshots of take-away prices have swept the circle of friends of Wuxi people. Meituan and Hungry have also joined this "subsidy war". At noon on the 10th, Didi Takeaway said that the order volume on the first day exceeded 334,000, and its market share in Wuxi jumped to the first place, exceeding expectations. Meituan also declared that their market share is the first. Grab users, grab merchants, and grab riders. For a time, the take-away market in Wuxi is full of gunpowder.
A Wuxi Didi Takeaway rider told reporters that under normal circumstances, delivering a single takeaway can earn 5 yuan, ranging from 6 yuan to 10 yuan, but on the 10th, Didi sold it to all riders to send a text message, saying that during the afternoon and evening peak hours, each delivery order will get at least 25 yuan, plus some bonus for reaching the standard. It is not uncommon for a knight to earn more than 1,000 yuan a day. "The kind of one that costs more than 2,000 yuan a day is to unite with the store to swipe the bill or something. It is true that (one day) it is more than 1,000 yuan. I know an old rider who runs in Wuxi. He should have run 1,100 yuan that day. "
Another knight, Xiao Zhang, who just jumped from Meituan to Didi, told reporters that under the reward, a large number of foreign knights still came to Wuxi to "seek gold" until the 10th. "All parts of the country, including Suzhou, Shanghai, Nanjing and Shandong, are going this way, and all the hotels nearby are people who deliver food. (Suzhou) The US delegation sent 400 people, not to mention others. "
The so-called "special delivery" of the US Mission refers to the signing knight who works for a long time. The part-time "crowdsourcing" knight of Meituan has also rapidly recruited in the past few days. A knight exposed his "report card" on April 10, and he ran three orders, and the distribution results actually ranked beyond 3,000.
In addition to the serious saturation of the Cavaliers team, businesses are also troubled by this farce. Knight Xiao Zhang said that many businesses have experienced a single explosion. "When I went to pick up the supper, there were more than 300 orders in front of the barbecue stall. How can a barbecue be baked? The merchant couldn’t do it, and the rider also dragged it. All of them overtime, overtime for several hours, and the takeaway at noon was not delivered in the afternoon. I must have ordered takeout these two days. I almost couldn’t sell the food in the first two days of the vegetable market, and no one went to buy food. "
At 10: 00 a.m. on April 11th, Wuxi Industrial and Commercial Bureau, in conjunction with Wuxi Public Security Bureau, interviewed Meituan, Hungry and Didi. Wuxi City Administration for Industry and Commerce said that there have been many complaints and reports in recent days, mainly focusing on the fact that some catering merchants were forced to take delivery by the US group because they were connected to the Didi takeaway platform. In other words, they were asked to "choose one". At the same time, Wuxi Industrial and Commercial Bureau also visited the investigation, and the preliminary investigation results showed that the behavior of the relevant take-away service platform had been suspected of constituting unfair competition and monopolistic business behavior. During the investigation, it was also found that the relevant take-away service platforms competed for market share by issuing a large number of subsidies or coupons.
Su Yiling, deputy director of Wuxi Industrial and Commercial Bureau, said that unfair competition or restrictions to exclude competition in pursuit of short-term high profits or seeking a monopoly are all exhausted. Whether in traditional market or emerging Internet market, competition should be free, equal and sufficient. Any behavior that forces merchants to make exclusive choices between take-away service platforms seriously infringes on the independent management right of merchants, disrupts the normal business order of the take-away service market and destroys the fair and orderly market competition environment.
The relevant person in charge of the three take-away platforms respectively said that they will actively respond to the rectification requirements of the industrial and commercial and public security departments and restore the good order of the take-away market in Wuxi.
Ding Zhixiong, vice president of Meituan Review, said that he would actively respond to the requirements of Wuxi Industrial and Commercial Bureau and Public Security Bureau, actively cooperate and quickly restore the good order of Wuxi takeaway market.
Are you hungry? Wang Jun, senior manager of public affairs at the headquarters, said that he is willing to operate legally and jointly safeguard the order of Wuxi takeaway market under the management and guidance of the regulatory authorities.
Liu Wei, vice president of Didi Takeaway, also stated that he resolutely responded to the requirements and calls of government departments, resolutely abided by laws and regulations, and resolutely defended the legitimate rights and interests of users, merchants and riders on the Didi Takeaway platform, and must work hard to ensure food safety in the future.
On April 11, after the interview, the reporter randomly investigated the situation of several catering enterprises being "offline" on three take-away platforms. A person in charge of a catering company named Jiaxiang Crispy Chicken told the reporter that at present, orders can be placed in Meituan, Hungry and Didi Takeaway.
The order of Wuxi take-away market is gradually recovering. Knight Xiao Zhang told reporters that the distribution fee of the platform to the knight has returned to the usual standard. "It fell on the same day. Before, the US Mission started at least in 15 yuan. Today, I see that there are 6, 7 yuan (one order), and the closer one has been 5, 6 yuan (one order). "
The reporter saw in a QQ group named Wuxi Didi Takeaway that a knight had just bought an electric car two days ago to prepare for a big fight. After this interview, he found that it was unprofitable. In less than 48 hours, he decided to resell the electric car at a loss.
