"During the period when I didn’t open the door, I opened my eyes every day for money, and it cost 40,000 to 50,000 a month. It was too anxious." After finally reopening in late April, Boss Li of Pingcheng Boutique Fruit Store in Jing’an District, Shanghai, he faced a new challenge: opening takeout for the first time and learning to operate online from scratch.

At present, in accordance with the principle of "orderly liberalization, limited flow, effective control, and classified management", how can small and medium-sized merchants who resume business and resume market in stages speed up recovery, reduce pressure, and better "touch the net" development? In this regard, on May 22, Ele.me announced the launch of the "Resonance Plan" for the merchant market, hoping to support merchants and help riders, and do its best to better serve the public, add vitality to the market, and fully support the recovery.

Incentive subsidies + fee reductions, "resonance plan" focuses on merchant pain points

Since this round of epidemic in Shanghai, Ele.me has fully invested in anti-epidemic supply and vigorously supported citizens’ living security and emergency needs. Ele.me has tens of thousands of riders shuttling through the streets and alleys to deliver fresh vegetables, living expenses, urgent medicines and other materials to the city’s communities.

Among them, Ele.me "All-round Supermarket" ensures the safety of parity and distribution through the service model of "community collection + fixed-point distribution". Since it started operation on March 28, it has distributed necessities such as meat, eggs, milk and rice noodles grains and oil to hundreds of thousands of families; in response to the dining needs of the public, Ele.me and Shanghai fixed-point catering merchants have increased transportation capacity investment and community coverage in the way of "community group meals", and delivered tens of thousands of group buying meals in time every day; in the face of the public’s drug demand, Ele.me has also launched a variety of new modes of drug delivery, including community group buying medical materials for epidemic prevention, "community collection + centralized distribution", and also cooperated with hospitals to "emergency drug delivery special car", etc., to continuously increase supply At the end of April, the average daily delivery of medicines exceeded 100,000 orders.

As Shanghai accelerates the pace of business resumption, Ele.me launched a special project relief plan to fully support the recovery of Shanghai merchants.

During the epidemic, business operations have been affected to varying degrees. At present, in the market recovery stage, many businesses are facing pressure such as liquidity and market investment. The "Resonance Plan" of Ele.me includes four measures: provide 500 million yuan incentive within two months after the lifting of the ban to reduce business operating costs; provide special project fee reduction subsidies to ease financial pressure; provide special mentoring training and digital support to improve business operation capabilities; provide riders with nearly 70 million yuan in additional subsidies to enhance employment security.

According to the introduction, the first batch of 500 million yuan incentive subsidies of the "resonance plan" will provide over 200 million yuan to merchants, including order subsidies and incentives, distribution cost subsidies, marketing cost subsidies and special project traffic support; about 300 million yuan will also be invested to distribute consumption red envelope coupons to citizens, provide project special membership discounts, etc., and will also extend the food card that cannot be used under objective conditions and compensate for food beans, so that merchants with high-quality service and honest management can increase revenue more quickly and effectively.

At the same time, in order to ease the financial pressure of merchants, Ele.me and the Financial Institution Group provide discounted loans of varying amounts and up to 500,000 yuan for eligible merchants, hoping to help merchants reduce the burden of opening after the epidemic.

In addition to subsidies, there are fee reductions. Ele.me provides a "green channel" for merchants, which can launch takeaway business within 1 hour at the soonest. In addition, newly opened online and eligible high-quality catering merchants will be given a rate discount of up to 5%; eligible retailers such as general merchandise and fresh fruits can also get a certain rate discount.

Ele.me will also enhance the digital operation ability of merchants through special service and special project training.

For riders, the first phase of Ele.me will provide an additional about 70 million yuan for order incentives and epidemic prevention subsidies, and will also set up more smart dining cabinets and "1 square meter warm rider station" to stabilize employment and improve security.

Community merchants receive traffic support and look forward to business resuming as soon as possible

Su Xiaoliu is a favorite dim sum shop in Shanghai. To overcome the pressure in this round of epidemic, he joined the guarantee supply on April 16. After the Ele.me platform resumed online, he obtained the platform traffic support in time.

Xuhui ITC store is one of the first three stores to resume supply, and the launch of same-day takeout is "order surge". To this end, Ele.me also helps to adjust the capacity allocation, provide distribution cost subsidies, and strengthen the guarantee of logistics performance.

"During this time, we sold more than 10,000 copies in a single store." Mr. Sheng, the operation manager of Su Xiaolu, told the author that from the background data, the various support effects of the platform are very obvious.

Heisei Boutique Fruit Store is also one of the beneficiaries of Ele.me’s support measures.

On April 20, the fruit store, which had been closed for more than a month, reopened. Previously, this store only had offline retail. During the closure and control period, Mr. Li realized the importance of takeaway, and the owner applied to open a store in Ele.me as soon as possible after opening. Soon under the green channel of the platform, the fruit store launched takeaway services.

"My parents distribute goods in the store, and I buy and receive orders at home. We are relatively affordable, and on the first day we went online, there were hundreds of orders." Mr. Li introduced that in order to strictly prevent the epidemic, the door will only be opened when there is an order. One door and one disinfection will be opened hundreds of times a day.

As a novice in takeout, he had never handled so many takeout orders. He learned a lot of free Ele.me tutorials online, optimized the operation and delivery method, and the takeout store quickly hit the right track.

Recently, his fruit store also received traffic support from Ele.me. "After going online for takeout, we have income, and we are finally relieved. With orders, we have living water, and we can survive. The order incentives, price-break discounts subsidies, and especially traffic support and marketing subsidies launched by the platform are all real needs for us."

After the launch of the "Resonance Plan", many merchants said that with the support of the food delivery platform, they can ease the anxiety of survival to a certain extent, and measures such as order incentives and subsidies can also effectively reduce costs and ease the pressure on funds. Ele.me said that further plans are still being formulated to provide greater support and jointly accelerate the market recovery. "We expect the fireworks in the market to continue as usual, and all business partners and the familiar Shanghai will get better and better."

Government and enterprises work together to bail out, and "fireworks" will return as soon as possible

"Shanghai’s current epidemic situation is generally stable and improving", this sentence at the press conference, the public began to feel: the rail transit bus gradually resumed operation, the park classification opened step by step, some downtown shopping malls have been unblocked to welcome guests, Moments posted more and more "return to work electronic pass", and even takeaway no longer needs group buying, even if one person, Blue Knight can be sent to the community.

Shanghai has been looking forward to the "fireworks" for two months, and it is slowly approaching you and me step by step.

According to the current schedule, commercial outlets should resume offline business in an orderly manner, and "online ordering, offline delivery" should be implemented. The catering industry should also implement services such as "online order, takeaway home"… Since the home epidemic prevention, the consumption habits of Shanghai citizens have also been slowly changing, and the consumption proportion of takeaway orders has become higher and higher. As an indispensable part of the city’s operation, takeaway has always tried its best to better serve the citizens.

However, we must also be aware that the social and economic impact of the epidemic will not disappear completely with the "lifting of the seal".

Faced with challenges in liquidity, service manpower, and material supply, some merchants may usher in "darkness before dawn". Due to the long-term closure and no income, the liquidity of closed merchants, especially small and medium-sized merchants, husband and wife stores, is difficult. At the same time, factors such as rent store expenses, labor costs, and labor return are also under great pressure. There are also challenges in supply and logistics supply chain.

How to retain the "fireworks" in the life of Shanghai? All parties in Shanghai are actively working hard. In the process of resuming business and the market, merchants and platforms cannot do without "gathering sand into a tower" and watching each other.

In order to reduce the losses of the epidemic to merchants, Ele.me has launched an emergency "shutdown protection" mechanism in Shanghai. Platform merchants that have suspended business due to the epidemic can open it independently, lock in monthly sales, scoring, etc., and remain unchanged during the shutdown period to ensure that merchants can quickly return to normal business after the lockdown is lifted. For problems such as the difficulty of temporarily recruiting workers in small stores, Ele.me also sets up a special channel in the background of merchants to help solve them.

At the same time, the business support plan pioneered by Ele.me is not limited to short-term assistance measures. It effectively targets the pain points of merchants, reduces the pressure of merchants, accelerates recovery, and overcomes difficulties together. It also helps merchants to go online and digital transformation as soon as possible, and truly "give it a fish".

At present, many merchants in Shanghai have switched from store retail to online takeout on the platform. While maintaining operations to generate income, it is also conducive to epidemic prevention and safety. In the stage of resumption of business and market recovery, effectively supporting merchants to "touch the Internet" will also help promote economic recovery.

For example, in order to reduce the impact of the epidemic, Ele.me provides merchants with a "green channel" to launch takeaway business within 1 hour at the soonest. In addition to special project incentives and traffic support, the "Resonance Plan" also enhances the digital operation capabilities of merchants through special service and special project training, including arranging a special project service team of more than 300 people to optimize the operation of targeted services merchants; providing nearly 2,000 hours of free open courses for merchants to conduct free takeaway operator training and certification services; supermarkets, convenience stores, fresh fruit, medicine and other merchants will receive intelligent diagnosis, management and marketing suggestions for goods, and the AI dish analysis system "Hungry Xiaowei" will also help catering brands develop new products for free.

Improving digital capabilities for the future and enabling businesses to achieve sustainable development may also become a "way to break the bottleneck" in the development of retail industries such as catering.

Of course, the full recovery of market economic vitality requires the participation of the whole industry and strong policy support.

Shanghai has issued the "21 Anti-Epidemic Helping Enterprises" policy, comprehensively implementing measures such as tax reduction and fee reduction, rent reduction and exemption, financial subsidies, financial support, and assistance to enterprises to stabilize jobs. At least 32 departments and 16 districts have issued supporting implementation rules. Relevant functional areas of business can join hands with the Internet platform and public service platform integration, support merchants’ liquidity, human employment, material supply, and stimulate consumption, etc., give full play to the greater role of the Internet platform in "urban services", and provide targeted services such as policy publicity, appeal coordination, and guidance and consultation for small and medium-sized businesses to resume work and production, and resume business and return to the market through a combination of online and offline methods.

At present, the epidemic prevention and control situation in Shanghai is generally stable and improving, and it is entering the transformation stage of normalization prevention and control. The fireworks on the street will also be restored to its previous vitality under the joint efforts of all parties.

　　According to the records, as early as more than 300 years ago, Siyang Zhongxing Town was used as a key point for water transportation, a place where officials, merchants, and Zao Gang boatmen traveled on boats and horses, or went to the three gates in the south to experience risks, or came to the north to be in shock, all of which had the psychological need to pray and hope. There were Fujian people who built a palace on Mule Street to worship the statue of Mazu, and it was originally called "Tianfei Palace". It was a meeting place for Fujian merchants to develop business, and it was also a place for them to pray and worship. Later, Emperor Kangxi gave it the seal and renamed it "Tianhou Palace". The whole group of buildings of Tianhou Palace was originally three-way, and now there are the front hall and the main hall. The eaves of the front hall are stoned with "Haiyan" and "Heqing", and the calligraphy is dignified and elegant, which sustains the deep prayers of the people There is an open-air stone statue of Mazu in the courtyard, wearing a phoenix crown, holding Ruyi in the hand, solemn and kind, elegant and handsome facing the canal, as if walking on the waves.

Bank of China Chongqing Branch actively implements the high-level national strategy of opening up to the outside world, vigorously supports the joint construction of the "Belt and Road Initiative", actively serves the new pattern of double-cycle development, and provides comprehensive support for "financing, financing and intelligence" for the development of Chongqing’s open economy and the construction of inland open highlands.

By the end of 2023, the bank will support the construction of the "Belt and Road Initiative" and the construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt through the construction of Chongqing Liangjiang New Area, the three major bonded zones, the construction of port highlands, the China-Singapore (Chongqing) Strategic Connectivity Demonstration Project, the Chongqing Pilot Free Trade Zone and other national independent innovation demonstration zones, and the Chongqing China-Europe Railway. The balance of related credit financing exceeds 26 billion yuan. In the field of "going global" for service enterprises, relying on the "cross-border matching service" model creatively created by the head office, it has successively held on-site matchmaking meetings for international trade customers, "China-Hungary SME Cross-border Investment and Trade Fair", "2019 China (Western) ‘Belt and Road Initiative’ Cross-border Investment and Trade Matchmaking Meeting for Industrial and Commercial Enterprises", etc., to help Chongqing enterprises realize a series of international cooperation such as trade, investment and technology introduction. Experts in various fields are invited to participate in the previous China-Singapore Finance Summits in depth, and put forward constructive opinions on cross-border finance, green finance and other aspects; the Singapore branch is linked to hold activities such as "Chongqing Enterprises Go to Singapore Direct Financing Business Exchange Conference".

From April 1st to 3rd this year, the series of activities of "CIIE Entering Chongqing" was grandly held, aiming to rely on Chongqing’s location advantages, resource endowments and industrial characteristics to invite exhibitors, investment promotion institutions and multinational companies to participate in the CIIE, further play the role of important platforms such as investment promotion of the CIIE, and amplify the spillover effect of the platform. This event attracted more than 160 foreign-funded enterprises and investment promotion institutions from more than 10 countries and regions, including the United States, Brazil, Germany, France, Switzerland, Japan, South Korea, etc., involving digital economy, intelligent manufacturing, automobiles and parts, biomedicine, food, consumer goods, service trade and other industries. During the event, Bank of China Chongqing Branch relied on the Bank of China’s "Huiru Wish · Bank of China e-Enterprise Win" global enterprise ecosystem to hold the "Import Expo into Chongqing" Bank of China online matchmaking matchmaking meeting. Chongqing enterprises and overseas enterprises were invited to demonstrate their respective advantages and discuss cooperation intentions through "online one-to-one" negotiation. At the scene, 8 enterprises signed a cooperation agreement with merchants, and 1 enterprise reached an overseas on-site inspection intention.

It is worth mentioning that, as the only strategic partner of the CIIE, Bank of China has supported the CIIE for six consecutive years. Among them, Bank of China Chongqing Branch has actively implemented the responsibility of the only strategic partner of the head office "CIIE", providing financial services for more than 400 Chongqing enterprises to participate in the CIIE, and helping Chongqing enterprises share China’s high-quality opening-up opportunities.

Continue to promote transformation and upgrading, and help Chongqing move towards "new"

New quality productivity is regarded as a key fulcrum for leveraging the high-quality development of China’s economy, and is becoming a surging driving force for "hundreds of competing flows" in various places. Chongqing stands on the manufacturing industry, and the importance and urgency of developing new quality productivity is self-evident. In this context, Bank of China Chongqing Branch has combined with Chongqing to build a "33618" modern manufacturing cluster system, tilted credit policies to enterprises in advanced manufacturing, "specialized and new" enterprises, strategic emerging industries and other fields, paid close attention to the development opportunities of electronic information, basic manufacturing and materials, intelligent manufacturing and other industries, increased financing support for upstream and downstream supply chains of enterprises, and helped Chongqing build an important electronic information industry manufacturing base in the world. It will fully serve the optimization and upgrading of Chongqing’s industrial structure.

In 2023, the bank has provided more than 5 billion yuan in trade financing for important electronic information enterprises in Chongqing; more than 510 new supply chain finance businesses have been added, and the business occurrence is equivalent to nearly 4 billion yuan; the number of supply chain trade financing 1 + N customers has increased by more than 60% compared with the beginning of the year.

The characteristics of new quality productivity are innovation, the key lies in quality, and the essence is advanced productivity. Strengthening financial supply in the field of scientific and technological innovation, and "helping" and "sending" science and technology innovation enterprises have become an important step for Bank of China Chongqing Branch to "new". In addition to continuously increasing credit tilt, the bank insists on adapting measures to local conditions, using "BOC Intelligent Chain" as a breakthrough point to expand supply chain financing, activate the vitality of upstream and downstream enterprises in the scientific and technological innovation industry, explore more accurate full-life cycle financial service solutions, and join hands with enterprises, heart-to-heart, to help Chongqing’s new quality productivity accelerate the formation.

In recent years, the bank has successively launched special products such as "Science and Technology Growth Loan" and "Bank of China Innovation Points Loan". Among them, as the contractor of "Bank of China Science and Technology Finance Pilot Credit Business", the bank has launched "Innovation Points Loan" special products with the help of the "Innovation Points Model" of the Torch Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology. Through a series of risk control model judgments and process optimization, the bank has innovatively launched "Science and Technology Growth Loan" products to help high-quality development of science and technology enterprises. By the end of 2023, the bank has approved a credit quota of more than 470 million yuan for 77 technology-based private small and micro enterprises through the "Science and Technology Growth Loan" and "Bank of China Innovation Points Loan" products, and the credit balance exceeds 320 million

The relevant person in charge of Bank of China Chongqing Branch said that on the new journey of accelerating the construction of a modern financial power, it will continue to practice the political and people’s nature of financial work, do a solid job in the "five major articles", support the real economy more effectively, improve service quality and efficiency more comprehensively, control financial risks more effectively, strive to create a new situation of transformation and development, and make new and greater contributions to the construction of a modern new Chongqing.

　Didi has recently been quite "attentive", launching a complain program of "Chattering Didi", which is self-deprecating, self-deprecating, mutual tearing, "red-faced sweating", which has attracted a lot of laughter and applause. The president, Ms. Liu Qing, personally "went to the grassroots" and worked as an operator to respond to users’ complaints. The funny and warm feelings are combined, and while adding points to Didi, there are also voices of doubt.

In the public video, Liu Qing asked Didi executives to go to the first-line experience operator when they were promoted. From her personal experience, the professionalism is debatable. Grassroots customer service is a variety of cooperation work. If this can represent Didi’s customer service level, it will actually increase users’ concerns. We can’t say this is a "show", but professional people do professional things. Even if executives come to answer the phone as customer service, can they reap real problems? The key is that on-the-job customer service strictly implements relevant systems.

Look at the complain link again. The selected roles are talk show stars, luxury car stars, drivers, and product manager representatives. Is this user sample down-to-earth and can it represent the voice of the majority? In response to specific questions: the price increase of taxis, take "riding a bicycle will pass by the fruit store to buy expensive cherries" to prove that taxis are more cost-effective; the big data kill problem, the response is "You have only driven a few times, are we familiar with you?"; the estimated price error problem, take the black car price "darker" as a comparison; the customer thinks that the navigation detours far and insists on his own direction, which boils down to the passenger’s "will to ride a bicycle".

For another example: passengers can’t get a taxi, and the product manager attributed the root cause to limited transportation capacity, "I can’t do it". The problem is that behind the limited transportation capacity, is it a regulatory problem in various places? Or is it a problem with the platform? In a business, if there is demand, there will be supply. Who doesn’t make money? If the reflection is not deep, the problem is difficult to solve.
　
Didi allows users, drivers, and staff to "make a big noise" and figure out the problem in complaining, ridiculing, and speculating. This is a good thing.After all, it opened the door to facing the problem directly, but the problem was that the on-site answers were more hesitant, which closed the door to solving the problem again.

Therefore, many netizens have questioned,Is this spending money to scold, or whitewashing and boasting?

Looking at the scope of the problems discussed in this Roast, it is generally limited to shallow levels such as long queuing time, opaque price, inaccurate positioning, inaccurate navigation, and stingy taxi coupons.Safety is rarely discussed.Finally, Liu Qing’s sentence "On security issues, we are not joking" ended hastily. Judging from the effect of solving the problem, this kind of open dialogue seems to "address only the symptoms but not the root cause of the issue". On the surface, it is lively. If you think about it carefully, there is no real solution to the fundamental problem.

For travel, it’s not about how fast you run, but how stable you run without "rolling over". Users don’t necessarily demand how perfect the app is.What matters more is that the service is cost-effective and safe.A correct understanding of the problem is the prerequisite for correcting the problem later.

Some people think that it is difficult to travel, and it is inherently difficult, and they are too harsh on Didi. Many people commute to get off work and travel without Didi. We are patient with service improvement and innovation. As a "breaker", we must have a great responsibility.

Self-blackening is a good starting point, don’t keep "blackening".Liu Qing also realized that "users always think that Didi is cheating people". We have seen too many examples of companies "humbly admitting their mistakes and not changing their lives", such as telecommunications harassment, bidding rankings, big data push… After many companies fall into a crisis, they either pass the problem on to temporary workers to take the blame, or directly attack the media to spread rumors, or hide and be an "ostrich". Didi has chosen a good way to dare to scold, and now it needs more pragmatic actions, otherwise scolding is equivalent to scolding in vain.

　　Yesterday was the first day after the Spring Festival that enterprises resumed work and production, and many catering businesses have experienced a long Spring Festival holiday.

　　At present, many catering enterprises are facing difficulties, actively responding, and exploring and seeking to break through. Recently, various catering private enterprises have launched countermeasures to meet market demand and create more new opportunities for their own development. How effective various countermeasures are remains to be seen. Are they ready for the arrival of "spring"?

　　Countermeasure 1: cooked food, work in progress, fresh ingredients can be takeaway

　　"Alan’s Food Group" is the WeChat "fan group" of Liyatu, a well-known western restaurant in Guangzhou. In just one week, the number of people in the WeChat group has exceeded 400. Fans place orders in the WeChat group to buy Liyatu’s online products, and the store uses "errands" to deliver them to their doors. The restaurant either publishes "advertisements" through the WeChat official account and Moments, or launches a takeaway platform, or communicates through WeChat customer service to achieve consumption. A Chaoshan beef hot pot-themed store in Dongshankou generates 70% of its daily turnover from takeout. As dine-in food is cold, takeout has become the main source of income for many restaurants. Catering companies have also paid attention to takeaway safety issues: body temperature monitoring, safety labels, contactless delivery, sealed boxes… all kinds of measures have been used.

　　In addition, sinking community service is also one of the directions to break through. Chen Na, director of the brand value growth center of Yunnan Yunhai Food Catering Management Co., Ltd., said that after the epidemic, they increased the investment of some resources in online retail and quickly organized manpower to establish distribution policies. "We are exploring the establishment of a community service station within a radius of three kilometers of the store. This service station uses the advantages of Yunhai Food’s existing supply chain and logistics to help residents within a three-kilometer radius to purchase fresh ingredients and work in progress, and then deliver them to their door through community group buying." Chen Na said, "At present, we have established 100 community stations across the country."

　　Countermeasure 2: Sharing labor to ease cost pressure

　　Wei Xuxiang, founder of United Food, told reporters that in an ordinary Cantonese restaurant with an area of about two or three hundred square meters, the labor cost accounts for about 15% to 20%, which is higher than the rental cost.

　　The reporter learned that at present, a number of urban areas in the province have issued announcements requiring restaurants to stop eating in the lobby to avoid dinners, and Panyu District is one of them. Many employees are temporarily out of work, and labor costs are a big expense for catering companies. Recently, Hema Fresh, a subsidiary of Ali, has reached a "shared employment" with catering companies to solve the problem of personnel waiting for work in catering companies, reduce the cost pressure of catering companies, and also alleviate the challenge of insufficient manpower in the supermarket lifestyle consumer industry.

　　Guangzhou Daily’s full media reporter learned that more than 30 catering companies, including Xibei, Naxue, and Tanyu, are communicating and cooperating with Hema. At present, 57 degrees Xiang, Chayan Yuese, Shu Daxia, Wangxiangyuan and other catering companies have reached a cooperation with Hema, and will support more than 500 employees of Hema in total. They will be involved in packing, sorting, shelves, catering and other work, and their labor compensation will be paid by Hema. Hu Qiugen, general manager of national operation and management of Hema, said that catering companies need to solve the problem of personnel waiting for work. At the same time, their employees are safe and professionally trained, "which can quickly help solve the difficulties of increasing orders and insufficient manpower."

　　Yunnan Yunhai Food Catering Management Co., Ltd. brand value growth center director Chen Na said that the current line traffic counting is low, in addition to docking box horse, they are also docking other online retail, to achieve the output of the human part, to ease the pressure of manpower.

　　Cheng Gang, secretary-general of the Guangdong Catering Service Industry Association, told Guangzhou Daily that the association is currently working with professional third-party human resources enterprises to meet their needs, hoping to allocate the rich manpower of Guangdong catering enterprises by transferring jobs or enterprises, including coordinating the deployment of excess manpower from some catering enterprises to pharmaceutical enterprises and factories with greater demand for personnel.

　　Countermeasure 3: "Slim down" in time and wait for the market to recover

　　These days, the chairperson of Yaohua Catering Group, Qu, can’t sleep at night again, thinking about solutions. Two days ago, he made a painful decision to close five of his brand stores. So far, there are 15 stores left in the group, distributed in Liwan, Yuexiu, Tianhe and Baiyun districts. Yaohua Group is a Guangzhou Catering Group with a series of Lingnan-style brands such as Goose Gong Village, Banmanwan, Lingnan True Flavor, Flavor Rice Congee City, and Shahefen Village. There are a total of 2,000 or 3,000 employees in its 20 stores. Now, he has to "break his arm" and give up some stores in order to reduce losses as much as possible. At the same time, he compensates employees and introduces other stores that "pass the file" to work according to the needs of employees.

　　Diandude, a well-known catering company in Guangzhou, revealed that all its store dine-in business is currently closed, leaving only a few stores to operate takeaway business. "On the one hand, we respond actively, and on the other hand, we face it calmly and wait patiently," Shen Zhihui, general manager of Diandude, told reporters. Shen Zhihui’s family has been engaged in the catering industry for generations and also experienced the "SARS" period. He said that the response at that time was to "lose weight", reduce the business area, focus on the main business, and at the same time pay attention to food safety and wait for the market recovery.

Recently, major brands of new car-making forces collectively released the delivery volume in December 2023 and the annual delivery volume in 2023. There is no accident in the dispute of "selling the crown". LI’s sales in December exceeded 50,000 units, and the annual sales reached an astonishing 376,000 units, which is truly "far ahead"; The second place is Weilai Automobile, with the annual delivery exceeding 160,000 units, up 30% year-on-year. The figures are gratifying, but whether its prospects are bright or not is quite controversial. Followed by the car with zero running and Xpeng Motors, the gap between them is very small in 2023, with sales of more than 140,000 units, with zero running slightly ahead. Some "left behind" are Nezha Automobile. In 2023, the delivery volume of Nezha was 127,400 units, down 16% year-on-year.

Obviously, the "Wei Xiaoli" who started almost at the same time have opened the gap in 2023. The good ones can directly challenge BBA, and the poor ones will face the test of survival. In the extremely involuted market, where will the new forces of making cars go?

LI, which has no pure electric products, is "far ahead" in delivery.

Transcript of 2023: In December, LI delivered 50,353 new cars, up 22.72% from the previous month and 137.15% from the same period of last year, which was the first time that it delivered more than 50,000 new cars per month. By the end of December, LI delivered a total of 376,030 vehicles in 2023, up by 182.21% year-on-year. In this regard, LI CEO Li Xiang said, "All the goals in 2023 have been achieved: 376,000, 50,000, 20,000 and 300. Challenge higher goals in 2024: 800,000, 100,000, 30,000 and 2000 ". In other words, the annual delivery target of LI in 2024 is 800,000 vehicles.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the Ideal MEGA will be officially released on March 1, 2024, which is the fourth model of LI and the first MPV model. The ideal MEGA has made its debut at the 2023 Guangzhou Auto Show and started blind ordering. The estimated price will be less than 600,000 yuan.

Comments: 376,000 units! This means that the delivery volume of LI in 2023 is more than twice that of Weilai, which has completely opened the distance with other new car-making forces "small partners". What’s more commendable is that the price of ideal models is more than 300,000 yuan. On the basis of such a high price, LI can achieve sales of nearly 380,000 units, which is comparable to Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi. I have to say that although LI only focuses on extended range and has no pure electric products yet, its ability to find the market and demand is too strong, and "sofa color TV refrigerator" can be a classic case of automobile sales in China!

Facing the "involution", where is Weilai’s future?

Transcript of 2023: In December, Weilai Automobile delivered 18,012 vehicles, up 12.86% from the previous month and 13.89% from the previous month; In 2023, a total of 160,038 vehicles were delivered, a year-on-year increase of 30.66%. On NIO Day 2023, Weilai’s first luxury car ET9 was unveiled, with a pre-sale price of 800,000 yuan, but the new car will not be delivered until the first quarter of 2025.

Comments: In 2023, the delivery volume exceeded 160,000 units, ranking second in the "Five Xiaoqiang", a new force in car manufacturing. Weilai’s report card looks ok, but it is not optimistic in reality. First of all, the sales volume of Weilai’s 160,000 units has an exponential gap from the ideal sales volume of 376,000 units, which is hard to match. On the contrary, there is a zero run and Tucki’s breathing behind it; Secondly, Weilai’s eight models, including ES8, ES6, ES7, EC6, EC7, ET7, ET5 and ET5T, have achieved such an achievement. Correspondingly, there are only three ideal models for sale: L7, L8 and L9. Taking November 2023 as an example, the top-selling models of Weilai are ES6, ET5T and EC6, and the monthly sales of other models are less than 2,000. The industry believes that the out-of-control pace of product iterative update is the main reason why its sales volume is less than market expectations.

The most fundamental reason is that the new energy vehicle market is extremely involuted this year. The high-end smart driving and air suspension that originally appeared only in high-end models have also become popular in models with a price of more than 200,000 yuan. Correspondingly, the Weilai model with a price of more than 300,000 yuan is not so powerful in terms of cost performance. In addition, throughout 2024, Weilai Automobile will not have a new generation of models, so the test it faces will be very great.

Zero running kills a "blood road" in terms of cost performance.

Transcript of 2023: In December, 18,618 zero-running cars were delivered, a slight increase of 0.59% from the previous month and a year-on-year increase of 119.22%. On December 24th, 2023, Zhu Jiangming, the founder of Zero Run Automobile, said in an open letter of the 8th anniversary of the establishment of Zero Run that more than 20,000 vehicles may be delivered in December, but from the latest delivery data, the zero run automobile failed to achieve this expectation. In 2023, a total of 144,155 zero-running cars were delivered, a year-on-year increase of 29.67%.

Comments: In 2023, the zero-run car wanted to understand a truth, that is, it did not have outstanding brand recognition. If it wants to survive and develop in this cruel market, it can only be "rolled up", and the main thing is a high cost performance. In the first half of 2023, it carried out one-step price reduction. For example, as a medium and large-sized new energy car, the zero-run C01 started at 145,800 yuan for the extended-range version and 149,800 yuan for the pure-electric version, and its cost performance was "bursting". After the zero-run T03 discount, it is only 49,900 yuan, which is also quite prominent in the small pure tram camp!

After getting rid of the crisis, Tucki finally got better.

Transcript of 2023: In December, Xpeng Motors delivered 20,115 vehicles, up by 0.37% month-on-month and 78.13% year-on-year, and delivered more than 20,000 vehicles for three consecutive months, reaching a new monthly delivery record. In 2023, Xpeng Motors delivered 141,601 vehicles, up by 17.26% year-on-year. In addition, it is worth mentioning that Tucki X9 has just been listed, with the price ranging from 359,800 yuan to 419,800 yuan. As the flagship model under Tucki’s "Boom" structure, the new car is positioned as a medium and large MPV, and its power is pure electric power system.

Comments: Due to the "mistake" in the pricing of G9 at the beginning of listing, Xpeng Motors suffered a decline in sales at the beginning of 2023. Fortunately, Tucki G6 of "last stand" finally showed its sincerity in price, and the starting price of 209,900 yuan really shocked the market at that time, and Tucki’s monthly sales began to sprint towards 20,000 units. Then the new G9 went on the market in September, 2023, with a crazy drop of 46,000 yuan, which once again opened the market. Coupled with the competitive price of X9, Xpeng Motors finally ate a "reassurance"!

Nezha cars are pinned on overseas markets?

Transcript of 2023: Nezha Automobile delivered 127,496 vehicles in 2023, down 16.16% year-on-year. In December, the delivery volume of Nezha automobiles was 5,135, down 58.93% from the previous month and 34.12% from the same period of last year, which was the sixth consecutive month that it ranked last in the list of "Five Xiaoqiang".

Comments: Compared with Ideal, Weilai, Tucki and Zero Run, the presence of Nezha cars in the car world is indeed a little lower, and its current situation is not ideal. In this regard, Zhang Yong, CEO of Nezha Automobile, also conducted a review. He believes that "it was not done well in 2023, mainly because the new and old products were not well connected and the rhythm was chaotic; The listing price of new products is too high, although the adjustment was in place in the second half of the year, it lost the opportunity; Loss-making product lines greatly reduce production; The mode of communication is old and there are good things that can’t be said; The marketing headquarters is centralized and weak in management. " Zhang Yong said that in 2024, Nezha Automobile will launch two new models and adjust its marketing system. In addition, Nezha Auto is seeking to boost its sales through the development of overseas markets. According to official data, in 2023, the sales volume of Nezha Auto in overseas markets exceeded 20,000.

General comment: swim against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat

Judging from the situation in 2023, the new car-making forces "Five Xiaoqiang" Ideal, Weilai, Tucki, Zero Run and Nezha are facing different situations. The ideal sales lead is relatively large, and the profitability is also good. Weilai, Tucki and Zero Run are still fighting together in terms of delivery volume. Who can be a big attraction in early 2024? And Nezha Auto needs to make real efforts to improve its sales and presence. At the same time, the competition in the whole new energy market is very fierce. Traditional independent brands, joint venture brands and luxury car brands will all make big moves in 2024, and the situation faced by the new forces of building cars is still grim. As the saying goes, "sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat", and "Five Xiaoqiangs" need to have a full sense of competition to further enhance their shortcomings.
