和往年不同，今年的电商"618"战局，迎来了新的参与者。美团联合百大餐饮、零售品牌，于5月28日启 动"618"大促。活动期间，美团会向消费者发放618元神券包，用于外卖和闪购用户在酒水饮料、休闲食 品、数码家电、美妆护肤、运动用品、母婴用品等方面的购物。 在王兴看来，中国外卖行业发展到了一个新阶段，平台和商户都不应该回到多年前依靠激进补贴驱动的 竞争模式中，此外，要正视行业面临的"营销内卷"、食品安全基建不足等系列问题和挑战。 5月26日晚的电话会后，王兴所言的"不惜一切代价"被广为传播，而他提及的"赢得竞争"的路径并非卷 补贴、打价格战。 美团内部理解王兴提及的"不惜一切代价"，指的是避免"内卷式"竞争，通过一切必要的措施去完善生态 里的各方，将外卖的基本盘继续做大做好。 此前，即时零售领域中的各个玩家动辄要投入百亿元人民币展开市场争夺。在京东外卖上线百亿补贴一 个月后，淘宝闪购与饿了么也以超百亿元的补贴规模加入战局。真金白银砸向市场，各家都见到了"水 花"。 京东外卖的日订单量已经在5月中旬突破2000万单。在美团公布财报当天，记者从淘宝方面获悉，淘宝 闪购的日订单量超过了4000万单。 在这场补贴大战 ...

Core Viewpoint - Meituan has experienced a tumultuous quarter with significant competition in the food delivery and instant retail sectors, leading to a focus on both immediate market share and long-term international expansion and AI integration [4][5][6]. Financial Performance - In Q1, Meituan's revenue grew by 18.1% year-on-year to 86.6 billion yuan, with adjusted net profit reaching 1 billion yuan. Core local business revenue increased by 17.8% to 64.3 billion yuan, while new businesses also saw double-digit revenue growth and a steady reduction in losses [5][6]. - However, the company faces uncertainty in Q2, with management unable to provide accurate guidance due to ongoing irrational competition, leading to anticipated profit declines [6][7]. Competition Landscape - The food delivery market is witnessing intense competition, particularly from JD and Ele.me, with Meituan positioned as a defender in this battle. The competition has led to a significant increase in order volumes across platforms, with Meituan's order volume growing by approximately 9% to 10% year-on-year in Q1 [10][11]. - Meituan's strategy includes aggressive subsidies to maintain market share, particularly in the beverage category, where order volumes have surged [11][12]. Instant Retail Growth - Meituan's instant retail business, represented by Meituan Flash Purchase, has shown remarkable growth, with order volume increasing approximately three times faster than food delivery. Non-food category orders grew over 60%, and total transaction users exceeded 500 million [13][14]. - The shift in consumer behavior towards instant retail is significant, with Meituan aiming to replace traditional e-commerce delivery systems with a 30-minute delivery model [13][14]. International Expansion - Meituan's internationalization efforts are gaining traction, with Keeta making strides in markets like Hong Kong and Saudi Arabia. In Q1, new business revenue grew by 19.2% to 22.2 billion yuan, driven by grocery retail and overseas business, although losses increased due to higher investments [16][17]. - The company plans to invest $1 billion in Brazil over the next five years, indicating a commitment to expanding its footprint in attractive markets [17][18]. AI Integration - Meituan is focusing on AI as a key future strategy, with plans to launch an AI-driven business decision assistant, Kangaroo Advice, aimed at enhancing operational efficiency for merchants [19]. - The company has reported that approximately 52% of its new code is generated by AI, with a goal of achieving 100% adoption among engineers [19].

Core Viewpoint - The public relations battle between JD and Meituan has significantly benefited JD, with its daily orders for food delivery skyrocketing from zero to over 10 million in less than three months [2][8]. Group 1: Competitive Strategies - JD has effectively utilized its strengths to exploit Meituan's weaknesses, particularly by focusing on public relations and social responsibility, such as providing social insurance for delivery riders [13][30]. - The strategy of JD contrasts with the failed approach of Ele.me, which attempted to compete with Meituan through heavy subsidies without addressing the simultaneous growth of users, merchants, and riders [13][14]. - JD's public relations efforts have included high-profile actions by its founder, such as delivering food and engaging with riders, which have resonated positively with consumers [36][38]. Group 2: Long-term Outlook - Despite the short-term success in public relations, JD is unlikely to surpass Meituan in the long run due to the latter's established competitive advantages, including a deeper market penetration and organizational capabilities [8][56]. - The network effects inherent in the food delivery business favor Meituan, as its larger order volume leads to lower delivery costs, making it difficult for JD to compete effectively [58][65]. - JD's organizational structure lacks the adaptability and decision-making capabilities that Meituan has developed, which are crucial for managing the complexities of the food delivery market [70][85]. Group 3: Strategic Intent - JD's primary goal in entering the food delivery market is not necessarily to dominate but to maintain consumer perceptions of speed and quality, which are critical to its brand identity [91][92]. - By establishing a food delivery service, JD aims to create a stable order volume that can support its logistics team, thereby reinforcing its commitment to fast delivery [112][114]. - The investment in food delivery is seen as a strategic move to reclaim the "fast" mindset among consumers, especially as competition from Meituan intensifies [99][102].

Core Viewpoint - The ongoing competition among food delivery platforms, particularly between Meituan and JD.com, has intensified, leading to aggressive price wars and significant market share shifts, raising concerns about the sustainability of such practices and their impact on service quality and market order [1][4][5]. Group 1: Competition Dynamics - Meituan appointed Fan Zhendong as its lifestyle ambassador, signaling a strategic move amidst fierce competition with JD.com, which has launched substantial subsidies to attract users [1]. - The competition has escalated into a price war, with JD.com and Meituan engaging in a public spat, while Ele.me has also joined the fray by increasing its subsidies [2][4]. - JD.com has quickly gained a 9.1% market share in just three months, while Meituan's market share has dropped to 58.6%, indicating a significant shift in consumer preferences [2][6]. Group 2: Consumer Behavior - Consumers, referred to as "sheep party," are actively seeking ways to benefit from the ongoing subsidies, with social media platforms filled with tips on how to maximize discounts [2][3]. - The low prices, such as 4.9 yuan for coffee, have attracted many consumers, leading to a surge in orders and creating a culture of exploiting promotional offers [2][3]. Group 3: Regulatory Concerns - The Chinese government has expressed concerns over "involutionary competition," prompting regulatory bodies to hold discussions with major platforms to address issues arising from aggressive pricing strategies [4][5]. - Recent regulatory actions have included multiple consultations with platforms like JD.com, Meituan, and Ele.me to ensure fair competition and market order [4][5]. Group 4: Financial Performance and Future Outlook - The financial impact of the ongoing competition has yet to be fully reflected in the quarterly earnings reports, but the aggressive strategies are expected to influence future performance [6]. - Meituan's CEO has indicated a commitment to countering low-quality competition while investing in the ecosystem, including rider welfare and merchant support, to promote sustainable growth [6][7]. - The rise of instant retail is seen as the next battleground for these platforms, with significant growth reported in various product categories ahead of the upcoming shopping festival [7].
