Core Viewpoint - The current era is characterized by low costs for ordinary people to "lie flat," which can be seen as both a benefit and a sign of the disappearance of other benefits [4][8]. Group 1: Delivery Industry Insights - The low cost of food delivery in China is attributed to a significantly lower labor cost, averaging around $1 per delivery compared to $5 in the U.S. [9]. - Delivery riders face harsh penalties for delays, with a 20% deduction for being late by 3 minutes and a 50% deduction for being over 3 minutes late [9]. - A significant portion of delivery riders, nearly 45%, are aged between 31 and 45, with 37% working over 10 hours a day, yet only 2% earn over 10,000 yuan per month [9]. - Restaurants bear more than half of the costs for user subsidies, leading to a dilemma where they must choose between participating in subsidies for order growth or maintaining profitability [9][10]. - Major tech companies like Didi, Alipay, and Douyin have previously attempted to enter the food delivery market but exited due to low profitability [13][14]. Group 2: Market Dynamics - The ongoing food delivery competition is driven by companies seeking to use delivery services as a means to attract customers to their core businesses, rather than a genuine interest in the delivery market itself [15][18]. - The absurdity of the current delivery war lies in the fact that no major player is truly committed to making food delivery profitable, as evidenced by the historical losses incurred by companies in this space [15][18]. - The competitive landscape reflects a broader trend across various industries where all parties involved are pressured to perform, leading to a cycle of "survival of the fittest" [15][16].
