“要全面开战了”，阿里美团激战升级

Core Viewpoint - Alibaba is intensifying its competition with Meituan in the local lifestyle service sector, launching the "Gaode Street Ranking" to enhance its presence in the "to-store" business, while Meituan is reviving its quality takeaway service [2][8]. Group 1: Alibaba's Strategy - Alibaba's "Gaode Street Ranking" is based on real user behavior, focusing on repeat customers and is not commercialized, aiming to differentiate itself from Meituan's high market share [2][4]. - The "Gaode Street Ranking" project was initiated in June and now covers over 300 cities and 1.6 million offline service providers, including over 870,000 restaurants and 230,000 hotels [3]. - The ranking system utilizes AI to filter out false information and is integrated with the Sesame Credit system to enhance trust [4]. Group 2: Meituan's Response - Meituan announced the revival of its quality takeaway service on the same day as Alibaba's announcement, leveraging its extensive user review data to improve service reliability [8]. - Meituan's second-quarter financial report showed a revenue of 91.84 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 11.7%, but a significant drop in net profit by 89% [9]. - Despite the challenges, Meituan's app reached over 500 million monthly active users, with a 40% year-on-year increase in order volume for its to-store business [9]. Group 3: Market Dynamics - The competition between Alibaba and Meituan is heating up, with both companies accelerating the construction of their local lifestyle service ecosystems and extending their subsidy wars from takeaway to in-store services [2][7]. - The market is observing the impact of these new strategies, with both companies announcing substantial subsidies to attract customers, including over 1 billion yuan from Gaode and 25 million takeaway vouchers from Meituan [7][8]. - Analysts suggest that while Gaode's new ranking may disrupt Dazhong Dianping (Meituan's review platform), it will take time to build user trust and recognition [7].
