Core Viewpoint - Didi's subsidiary, 99Food, is reportedly investing over 1 billion RMB in Brazil to secure exclusive agreements with merchants, preventing them from collaborating with Meituan's Keeta while allowing partnerships with local competitor iFood, which holds an 80% market share in Brazil's food delivery sector [1][2]. Group 1 - Didi's 99Food has approached over 100 restaurant chains in Brazil, offering at least 900 million BRL (over 1 billion RMB) in advance payments for exclusive "choose one" agreements [1]. - The "choose one" clause primarily targets Meituan's Keeta, while not restricting merchants from working with iFood, the dominant player in the market [1]. - Didi's strategy appears to be focused on maintaining a competitive position against iFood, as both 99Food and Meituan Keeta are new entrants in the Brazilian market [1][2]. Group 2 - Didi 99Food has acknowledged signing "choose one" agreements with some restaurants, with reports indicating offers as high as 6 million BRL (approximately 8 million RMB) for semi-exclusive contracts that target Keeta but allow for iFood partnerships [2]. - The company has also engaged in competitive advertising practices by purchasing Google ads containing the term "Keeta," aiming to lower the visibility of Keeta's search results [2]. - A Brazilian court has ruled that such advertising practices constitute unfair competition and trademark infringement, ordering Didi 99Food to cease these activities within three days or face a daily fine of 20,000 BRL [2].

Group 2: Competitive Strategies - Taobao Shanguo employed a concentrated strategy by merging resources from various Alibaba businesses and investing over 10 billion yuan in subsidies to boost orders [6][12]. - The growth trajectory of Taobao Shanguo has been rapid, increasing from 10 million orders in early May to over 80 million by July [7][8]. - Taobao Shanguo's strategy includes aggressive subsidies and a focus on high-frequency consumer categories, such as tea drinks, which have shown significant growth [8][9]. Group 3: Consumer Behavior and Market Trends - The shift in consumer behavior is evident as users are increasingly switching between platforms based on promotions and offers, indicating a lack of strong brand loyalty [7][10]. - The competition is not just about food delivery but also about expanding into non-food categories, which could provide higher margins and lower fulfillment costs [18][19]. - The potential for growth in non-food instant retail is significant, as it can cover various life scenarios beyond just food consumption [18][19]. Group 4: Future Outlook - The ongoing competition suggests a transition from a "hard business" model to a "good business" model, focusing on profitability and efficiency in the food delivery sector [19]. - The future of the market may depend on which platform can scale its instant retail operations more effectively, with Taobao Shanguo having a natural advantage due to its e-commerce background [18][19].

中经记者张靖超北京报道 对于今年的餐饮与互联网行业而言，外卖大战无疑是一个热点话题。这也引起了国家有关部门的注意， 主管单位分别于今年5月和7月约谈外卖平台，要求理性竞争。近期平台企业也对外发声，表达了"反内 卷""低质低价竞争不会给行业带来长期价值"等核心观点。 但从近几周的情况来看，外卖大战仍未彻底停歇。对此，中国社会科学院财经战略研究院研究员李勇坚 近日在《中国经营报》在线视频访谈栏目"零观科技"近期举办的主题为"呼吁良性竞争：外卖'卷低价'不 利于多方共赢"的节目中表示，此前的外卖市场在骑手劳动权益保障、商家利益等方面暴露出诸多问 题，新竞争者的加入或能促使行业在更激烈的竞争中向着健康发展的方向前进。 外卖大战的另一面 但从长远来看，这种依靠平台与商家补贴消费者的营销模式，终究难以维持。因此，李勇坚认为，一方 面，平台需要在规则、技术、生态等方面加大投入力度；另一方面，有关部门需要在补贴大战中加强对 服务质量、食品安全等方面的监管。 外卖市场需要新玩家 外卖行业连接了亿万消费者、千万商家、百万骑手，可以说是一个影响非常广泛的行业。而在今年2 月，京东的入局打破了原有的市场格局。京东为骑手提供的五险一金 ...

Core Viewpoint - The entry of JD into the food delivery market has intensified competition, leading to significant growth in order volume and raising concerns about industry structure, merchant survival, and rider rights [1][4]. Group 1: Industry Issues - The food delivery market has historically been dominated by a duopoly, resulting in various industry practices that require reform [2]. - Merchants, especially small and medium-sized ones, lack sufficient pricing autonomy and face high commissions, which affects their competitive rights and interests [2][3]. - Consumers may suffer from a lack of choice due to algorithmic and data monopolies created by large platforms, impacting their transaction rights and potential earnings [2][3]. Group 2: Rider Rights and Market Dynamics - Riders are in a passive position with insufficient protection of their labor rights, including social security and work autonomy, which is a consequence of inadequate competition [3][4]. - The introduction of new competitors is essential for providing merchants with more options and improving their rights, as well as enhancing consumer and rider protections [3][4]. Group 3: Impact of Subsidies - The recent subsidy wars have highlighted the need for addressing long-standing issues in the industry, with platforms beginning to offer subsidies to both consumers and merchants [4]. - Despite the subsidies, many small merchants may still face financial difficulties due to fixed costs like rent and wages, leading to a situation where increased orders do not necessarily translate to higher profits [5]. - The disparity in benefits from subsidies means larger merchants may see gains, while smaller ones could struggle, creating a dilemma for them regarding participation in subsidy programs [5]. Group 4: Future of the Industry - The future health of the food delivery industry hinges on how platforms define their "social function," balancing the needs of consumers, merchants, and riders [6]. - A focus solely on technical optimization may lead to negative outcomes, as more precise algorithms could limit riders' operational space [6]. - The core issue lies in the platforms' understanding of their role, which should prioritize long-term sustainability over short-term gains by exploiting one party's interests to benefit another [6].
