Meituan wants to make a "dry rice version of Pinduoduo"?

Original, Bohu team, Bohu Finance

Lemon tea for 0.1 yuan, pig’s foot rice for 4.9 yuan, are the takeaways so cheap now?

This is not the case. Recently, Qiuxiang found that every day at the meal point, the major fish groups began to forward a link called "Meituan has a good meal". Click on it to take a look, good guy! The original takeaway of 20 or 30 is only 4 yuan 9, 3 yuan 9, 1 yuan 9, or even 0.1 yuan here!!!

How do you order these cheap takeaways? Two words: fight the order. At Meituan, as long as there are two people, you can successfully fight the order. You can initiate the fight yourself, or you can fight other people’s orders, and even the platform will help you match your friends, and there is no delivery fee.

Isn’t this recipe very similar to an old friend of ours?! Yes, Meituan is using Pinduoduo to make takeout.

Then the question is, how did such a cheap meal come about?

First of all, the model of food supply is that the platform decides which meals to sell, and after giving the maximum price and the minimum specifications of the meal, it will target investment. For example, for a fried chicken + Coke, the maximum price given by the platform is 15 yuan. You can sell it for 15 yuan, or you can sell it for 4 yuan 9, but the cheaper you sell it, the more traffic you get. So ah, in exchange for price, this price will be hit.

Secondly, most of the merchants who put together a good meal are small and medium-sized merchants who rely on online orders, which can be understood as those white-label small merchants who are qualified but have no facade, and they only need to cooperate with Meituan to make low-priced products. In terms of traffic, the platform will handle it. In addition, without having to bear high store rents, the unit price of this meal can be controlled lower.

Finally, in terms of delivery, a new type of delivery method has also been adopted: the running mode.

It means that the system will give priority to running riders who place orders at the same merchant and have similar addresses, which allows a rider to complete at least two orders on the same delivery path, improving delivery efficiency.

It can be said that this delivery model not only reduces delivery costs, but also improves the efficiency of riders and merchants, and also brings more affordable ordering prices to customers, achieving a win-win situation for all three parties!

This is not surprising, the establishment of less than 3 years of good meal, to achieve rapid growth. In 2022, good meal daily order sales reached one million; 2023 after entering the first-tier cities, the daily order volume exceeded 3 million, accounting for Meituan takeaway daily order volume of 6%; and in the first quarter of this year, good meal daily order volume has been close to 5 million, almost Meituan takeaway last year in the fourth quarter of the daily order volume of 10%.

It seems that Meituan has succeeded in doing takeaway in the way of Pinduoduo.

But in the face of the ultimate cost performance, there are also many problems with a good meal. For example, the hygiene and safety of the meal is difficult to control. Merchants may use some low-quality ingredients in order to reduce costs. Some netizens complained that they ordered lymphatic meat on the meal, but the merchant refused to refund; even some merchants blew up the roujiamo from the refrigerator to the door, and still picked it up for heating.

Moreover, because of the smooth running mode of putting together a good meal, the rider’s delivery fee is compressed, which also reduces the rider’s enthusiasm for food delivery, and there are problems such as the perfunctory attitude of the rider.

Then why are so many people still using the good meal? In front of the 50 yuan fried chicken, for many people, the 9 yuan 9 burger + chicken roll is life!

By the way, have you ever used a good meal to order takeout?

After five years of market experience, how should we evaluate Geely’s CMA architecture now?

?By 2020, when it comes to the R&D and production of automobiles, it must be inseparable from such terms as "platform" and "architecture". In the past ten years, most automobile manufacturers with a certain scale have launched so-called platforms or architectures, such as the famous MQB, the PSA Group EMP, which is not a big hit, and TNGA, which came from behind.

After the acquisition, the biggest move can be said to be to jointly develop the CMA architecture, whose full name is Compact Modular Architecture, which was developed in the China-Europe R&D Center (CEVT) in Gothenburg, Sweden, while CEVT was a European R&D center established by the holding group in 2013 with global resources.

Nowadays, we can see that there are more and more models developed based on CMA architecture, including branded models, branded models and every brand model that has come out so far. In this case, it is time for us to summarize the characteristics of CMA architecture in many products. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages in these characteristics.

variety

Many models have been born under CMA framework, among which only 01, 02, 03, 05 and the newly released 06 have covered many different types of models, including SUV, crossover, car and coupe SUV.

In fact, for any modular architecture or platform, it is only a basic project to be compatible with different vehicle types. For example, as small as polo and as large as Touang, they are all products of MQB platform, and the TNGA architecture basically covers all new models and. Therefore, for the CMA architecture of-,it is not a miraculous thing to develop a variety of models based on it, but it is just a matter of doing its job.

So what does diversity mean here?

Actually, it refers to the diversity of personality. Some time ago, whenever we talked about the MQB platform, we would think that most MQB platform cars are the same model, and there is not much difference between models, and even there will be similar driving quality of models with different positioning heights. This is how the legendary platform without (m) area (q) and (b) came into being, and there is a view that hundreds of thousands of MQBs are more worth buying than 200,000 or even 300,000 MQBs.

However, in the CMA architecture, different models still have different personalities.

For example, 03+ and 05 equipped with the same powertrain are completely different in driving experience. I know you will say that 03+ is a performance car with special positioning, and the driving experience must be different, but this personality difference can also be reflected in other models. For example, 01 and 05, 01, which are both SUV foundations and have similar sizes, are relatively more comfortable, while 05′ s chassis is more sporty in terms of lateral support.

In addition to the diversity of personality, CMA architecture also has diversity in the types of powertrain.

In terms of traditional fuel power, CMA architecture provides a variety of combinations of engines and gearboxes. The engines are 1.5T and 2.0T, and the matching of gearboxes will be selected according to different models or even different driving forms. At present, gearboxes appearing on CMA architecture are 6AT, 7DCT and 8AT.

If it is the platform architecture of other manufacturers, it usually does not provide so many choices. Needless to say, the driving form must be compatible with the four-wheel drive system.

In fact, in order to realize the diversity of products, CMA architecture divides vehicle components into25 super modulesIn addition to the familiar parts such as engine and gearbox, there are also parts related to body structure and electrification. This is equivalent to playing with permutation and combination. If the number of modules is enough, the more schemes can be pieced together, which can bring different effects to the types and personalities of vehicles.

More importantly, CMA architecture is also compatible with the R&D and production of pure electric vehicles, which is one of the advantages of CMA architecture compared with some other automobile R&D and production architecture platforms.

Speaking of this, I have to mention its high-end electric car brand-Polestar.Polar star.

In Polestar’s product series, there is a very important product, which will be officially introduced to the market this year, that is, Polestar 2, which is a pure electric vehicle aimed at positioning. The pre-sale price announced before is less than 300,000.

This pure electric vehicle is built based on CMA architecture, and it is also the first pure electric vehicle under CMA architecture. However, the pre-production preparation stage of Polestar 2 takes a little longer, and many people can’t wait, so start delivery quickly.

unity

Speaking of diversity, let’s talk about unity. You may feel contradictory. Since there are many kinds, how can we unify them?

Do you still remember that the CMA architecture just mentioned divides the vehicle parts into 25 super modules? These different modules are combined together through a unified interface. The CMA architecture also has a standardized manufacturing process list, which can effectively control different models to adopt the same manufacturing processes and standards in different production lines, thus ensuring the uniformity of vehicle quality.

This can also be found in the actual experience. Although the models born on the CMA architecture have different personalities, they are relatively consistent in some aspects of experience.

Such as sitting posture.

Although SUVs and cars are born with different ride heights, due to the existence of modularity, the bending angles of the upper and lower limbs of the body and the relative positions with the steering wheel and pedals can be unified, so that drivers can find familiar feelings when driving different models of CMA architecture.

The adjustment range of the seat has a standard range, which is 262.2mm in front and back, and 65mm in height. Even in the seat adjustmentNVHOn the other hand, CMA architecture also has its own higher requirements. Their standard is that the maximum sound of seat operation is only 38dB, which is much lower than the mainstream 45dB.

There is also the NVH performance of driving. Although different models will be adjusted in different orientations according to their positioning, the CMA-based models have a very good foundation in the performance of vibration filtering and quietness. Even a car with a 20-inch rim like the 05 is inherently unfavorable to the handling of road shattering, but it still has a very stable performance on the "Belgian Road".

One of the advantages brought by uniformity is the improvement of the universality of parts, which is of great help to reduce the cost of research and development and production.

In fact, the theory that modular platforms or architectures can reduce costs has appeared since MQB platform, but on some platforms or architectures of MQB and other brands, as consumers, it seems that they can’t see what benefits the manufacturers have brought to consumers by reducing costs. First, the quality of cars may not be improved, and second, the price may not be cheaper than before.

However, in the models developed by the brand and even some brands using CMA architecture, we have seen the benefits brought by the manufacturer to consumers by reducing costs, that is, giving consideration to quality and beautiful price.

It’s just that Rut Jun thinks this is also due to the market structure, especially as such an emerging brand, we can see that their products do have advantages in quality and deserve higher prices. However, once the price is high, consumers are less willing to buy new cars. After all, the reality is cruel.

forward looking

As a rising star in automobile R&D and production infrastructure, CMA can show more excellent forward-looking in some details.

Today’s cars, even if they are not pure electric vehicles with new energy, have become more and more complicated in the electrical system, because today’s cars are emphasizing intelligence. An important step to realize the intelligentization of automobiles is to move towards the goal of unmanned driving or autonomous driving. What is the biggest obstacle in front of unmanned driving or autonomous driving?

The answer isarithmetic speed.

In order to achieve higher operation speed, the requirements for vehicle electronic system are higher.

CMA architecture also noticed this at the beginning of development, so it designed electrical system redundancy that can easily cope with the next 10-15 years. At present, the field of intelligent driving is developing very fast, so it was prepared for the intelligent development in the next 15-20 years in the development stage five years ago, which fully reflects the forward-looking nature of CMA architecture.

The forward-looking of CMA architecture is also reflected inCompatibility of power systemIn fact, as we just said, CMA architecture not only has gasoline vehicles, but the 2.0T engine can not only easily meet the stringent national 6 emission standards at this stage, but also be able to cope with the abnormal European 7 emission standards.

In addition, CMA architecture will also have plug-in, light-mixing, and pure electric vehicles.

You may ask, pure electric vehicles and traditional fuel vehicles share the platform architecture, so will this basic pure electric vehicle be a magic work of "changing oil into electricity"? This question does exist, just like everyone’s question about not developing a platform architecture for pure electric vehicles alone.

Rut Jun believes that it depends on whether the platform architecture has considered the R&D and production of pure electric vehicles at the beginning of development. The "oil-to-electricity" we say refers to those platforms that originally only had oil vehicles, but later abruptly added pure electric vehicles. For example, the CMA architecture has included the pure electric power form into the development goal at the beginning of development, which does not belong to "oil to electricity".

Playability

For some people who love cars and cars, they often take playability into consideration when choosing models, and playability may be part of the current lack or limitation of CMA architecture.

The so-called playability mainly refers to the "tossing space" left by the vehicle to the owner.

For example, the MQB platform is probably one of the architecture platforms with strong playability at present. One of the major reasons is that there are already many models born on the MQB platform, and they also have a large number in the market. Then many automotive aftermarket brands will launch modified and upgraded products for MQB platform models. These modifications and upgrades usually include power, chassis and other parts of the kit, and can even be divided into several levels, which is what we often call "first-order".

The CMA architecture is not so mature in this respect. The main reason is that the CMA architecture is still in the process of development and growth, and its ownership is not large enough. Moreover, the previous CMA architecture models did not focus on attracting consumers who love to play with cars.

One of the phenomena of its products can illustrate this point: 03+, as the first China performance car, does have a good foundation in itself, but Rut Jun learned from some channels that the entry-level upgrade scheme commonly used by car players is not feasible at all on 03+.Brush ECU.

Perhaps the technology derived from it has a high level of safety protection, so it is impossible to crack the ECU engine control computer, and the power curve can only be changed through the external computer, and this form of upgrade is very limited for 03+. This hardly leaves the so-called "tossing space" for car users.

At the same time, due to the relatively small demand, 03+ and even other CMA-based models are also very limited in the selection of chassis upgrades.

Golf on the MQB platform, such as Bilstein, SACHS, Tein, Eibach and KYB, can provide countless choices and have a huge modified ecosystem, while CMA 03 can’t find mass-produced big brand modified parts, and there is almost no ecosystem.

In view of the fact that the brands that occupy a big position in the CMA architecture are mainly young consumers, and may have certain needs in changing cars, Rutjun thinks that expanding the playability of CMA architecture is-the next thing to be promoted. After all, cars like 03+ have been built, and the owners have to toss and turn.

Write it at the end

As a modular architecture jointly developed by and, the models born on the basis of CMA can bring consumers a good sense of quality whether driving or riding, especially in some models of brands and brands, and it is really exciting to create a leapfrog driving experience at a price that most consumers are more acceptable.

This has something to do with many goals and standards set by CMA architecture at the beginning of its development. But then again, although there are many models of CMA architecture, compared with the platform architecture introduced by other manufacturers relatively early, the volume is still relatively small. By enriching the product line and expanding the quantity, we can further exert the advantages of modular architecture.

The question is, what kind of products should we continue to launch next to attract consumers? There are many kinds of SUVs, so is there any chance in the car market? Can pure electric vehicle products be decentralized to brands or even brands?

From dangerous goods to safe endurance, they have created a rechargeable world.

  When going out, only one thing is allowed, and many people will choose mobile phones; To buy your first car, you may want to try a new energy electric car & HELIP; …

  These common choices in our daily life all exist because of the same thing — — Lithium battery.

  At 17: 45 Beijing time yesterday, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced that the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Professor John B Goodenough, Professor Stanley Whittingham and Professor Yoshino in recognition of their contributions to the development of lithium batteries.

  The Nobel Prize in Chemistry once again makes people feel that they have flown from the top of the academic pyramid to ordinary people. The distance is so close, even within reach.

  With the lightest metal in the world

  Win the heaviest prize in the world

  When the power of your mobile phone is only 10%, I believe that many people’s anxiety and tension have reached the peak. At this time, if you suddenly find a charging treasure, it seems that life has been saved at that moment.

  Modern people can’t imagine life without the assistance of lithium batteries.

  Therefore, when the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to three scientists from the United States, Britain and Japan who made outstanding contributions to the development of lithium batteries, people at the scene were extremely interested in it.

  Lithium, the least dense and lightest metal in the world.

  Although it is light and small, it has a big temper — — It is the most active metal among known elements (including radioactive elements).

  Therefore, it has become a very good material for developing batteries, but it has both advantages and disadvantages. When lithium metal is used as the electrode, there are huge hidden dangers — — This kind of battery is easy to catch fire or even explode.

  Therefore, if you want to use lithium in the battery, you must control it, and this year’s Nobel Prize winner in chemistry’s achievement actually lies in this.

  In other words, if these three scientists didn’t make Li obedient, we would be carrying an explosive bag every day and risking being ignited at any time by calling the Internet.

  So, how did they tame lithium?

  Originally, Goodenough and others found that manganese spinel is an excellent cathode material with low price, stability and excellent electrical and lithium conductivity. Its decomposition temperature is high, and its oxidation is much lower than that of lithium metal. Even if there is short circuit and overcharge, the danger of combustion and explosion can be avoided.

  Now, let’s imagine lithium cobaltate, and imagine it as a sandwich made of cobalt and oxygen. The lithium atom is the ham slice in the middle, which can be easily pulled out, so that the lithium atom can move quickly in the lithium cobaltate crystal — — Therefore, lithium cobaltate can replace metallic lithium as a lithium ion provider in the battery.

  At the same time, this oxide can also increase the voltage of the battery and the amount of electricity stored in the battery. More importantly, it is like putting a spell on lithium, making it docile and controllable.

  Liberal arts cross science and physics cross chemistry.

  Hard core life of 97-year-old father

  After briefly talking about the principle of lithium batteries, let’s talk about these three award-winning legends.

  At the age of 97, Goodenough is the oldest Nobel Prize winner so far.

  The old man’s life is quite hard — — After Goodenough was admitted to Yale University, he actually chose classical literature and philosophy as his first major. In order to get credit, he took two chemistry courses. When he graduated, his degree turned out to be a bachelor of mathematics. Because a math professor saw his talent, he was persuaded from a liberal arts student to a science student studying mathematics.

  Then, World War II broke out, and Goodenough joined the US Air Force. After retiring, at the age of 30, he went to the University of Chicago to study physics, and studied solid-state physics. After graduation, he went to Lincoln Laboratory of MIT and made contributions to the development of random access memory. This technology is the later computer memory.

  This wave of cross-border is not over yet — — In Lincoln Lab, Goodenough studied sodium-sulfur batteries. But it was not until 1976, at the age of 54, that he entered the Department of Chemistry of Oxford University in England, and his research field shifted to batteries, and he studied lithium cobaltate.

  That is, when Goodenough went to Oxford University, England, Whitingham, the founder of rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and his team had made the world’s first rechargeable lithium-ion battery — — They creatively used titanium sulfide as the cathode material and lithium metal as the cathode material. When charging, lithium ions move from the positive electrode to the negative electrode, and the discharge returns to the positive electrode, and so on.

  In 1977, the two high-energy scientists also co-published a book in the field of solid-state energy chemistry.

  On the other side of the globe, some Japanese companies, especially Sony, had made great progress in the commercialization of lithium rechargeable batteries and held a large number of patents.

  Akira Yoshino, after graduating from the Petrochemical Department of the Faculty of Engineering of Kyoto University with a master’s degree in engineering, directly entered Asahi Kasei Industrial Co., Ltd. In 1981, the research and development of lithium batteries began.

  He plays the role of matchmaker — — After establishing the basic framework of lithium-ion batteries, Yoshino made use of graphite, which has been invented by Sony Corporation of Japan and is used as the negative electrode of lithium batteries, with stable structure and low price, to draw a red line for lithium cobaltate as the positive electrode.

  In 1983, Yoshino made the world’s first rechargeable lithium-ion battery prototype by using lithium cobaltate cathode and polyacetylene anode. In 1985, many technical problems were overcome, metal lithium was completely eliminated, and the basic concept of rechargeable lithium-containing alkaline lithium-ion battery was established, and modern lithium-ion battery was born. In 1991, Sony released the first commercial lithium-ion battery in human history.

  "I’m only in my 90 s and I still have time."

  Three scientists are still working at an advanced age.

  Although the principle of the battery looks simple, the design and manufacturing process of the battery is very complicated. Until now, some alkaline batteries invented in the 19th century are still in use. It can be seen how difficult it is to invent and improve a new battery.

  This award is well deserved.

  In the "Nobel Prize" field, Goodenough is somewhat known as "Haruki Murakami" in the chemical field — — The voice is very high, "running with you" for many years.

  It is understood that 97-year-old Goodenough is still engaged in energy research.

  "I want to solve this problem before I die. I am only in my 90 s and I still have time." Goodenough hopes to develop solid-state batteries with high energy density and high safety, so that electric vehicles can replace high-capacity batteries of gasoline vehicles. He likes his metaphor of "crawling tortoise". "This kind of crawling throughout your life may bring benefits, especially if you cross different fields and collect all kinds of clues all the way. You have to have a lot of experience to integrate different ideas. "

  Whitingham, 78, is still thinking and working. He has also co-written books to observe and analyze the history, evolution and future state of energy storage, which describes the future development of lithium batteries.

  Just after being told that he won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 71-year-old Akira Yoshino replied in an interview with the media: "Curiosity" is the biggest driving force. Prior to this, Akira Yoshino said that battery technology is a complex and difficult interdisciplinary field, and its development needs many experts. Lithium-ion batteries are the result of collective wisdom.

See you every year at the World Swimming Championships, this time in Doha.

  Xinhua News Agency, Doha, February 1 ST (Reporter Liu Yang, Zhou Xin, Sun Zhe) Just half a year after the Fukuoka Swimming World Championships, the Doha Swimming World Championships will be held soon.

  The World Swimming Championships was once held every four years, but it has been changed to biennial in the past 20 years, and it has become "annual" since 2021. Affected by the epidemic, the Fukuoka World Championships in 2021 was postponed twice after the Tokyo Olympic Games, and was finally held in July 2023. Budapest filled the "vacancy" in 2022. The Doha World Championships originally scheduled to be held in 2023 was "squeezed" to the beginning of 2024, making the swimming world championships held in the same year as the Olympic Games for the first time. Singapore, the host of the 2025 World Championships, was already in place, which led to the four consecutive years from 2022 to 2025.

  There are six major events in this World Championships: diving, synchronized swimming, open water swimming, water polo, swimming and high platform diving. Among them, diving, synchronized swimming, open water swimming and water polo are all Olympic qualifying events. Only swimming events do not have this sense of urgency, because it determines the Olympic qualification based on whether the results meet the standards.

  For swimmers, it is easy to reach the standard, so they give up the World Championships in Doha one after another and focus on the Olympic Games. The Doha swimming pool is slightly lacking in star flavor. China also hid Olympic champions Zhang Yufei, Wang Shun, Ye Shiwen and the new "Frog King" Qin Haiyang, and Li Bingjie was the only Olympic champion for China to swim in Doha. This also gives China’s young swimmers a chance to emerge: Pan Zhanle will attack the highest podium in the men’s 100m freestyle; Dong Zhihao has medal strength in the men’s 200m breaststroke; Zhang Zhanshuo, a 16-year-old teenager, will usher in the first adult international competition and participate in five individual competitions; Yu Yiting will perform a world-class performance in the women’s 200m medley.

  Looking at foreign famous players, American Olympic champions Ledecki, Dressel, Regan Smith, lily king and others will be absent; Canadian Olympic champion McNeil and rising star McIntosh will not play; The Australian team has 18 participants, and the women’s team has almost no famous players; Romanian short-distance freestyle star Popovich is not on the list; The Japanese team only sent 12 people to participate.

  In diving events, foreign athletes need to compete for Olympic qualifications. The main force of the China diving team, which has won the full quota, will all participate. Gemini Chen Yuxi and Quan Hongchan will once again conquer the world with the "water spray disappearance"; In addition, Cao Yuan, a three-dynasty Olympic champion who returned from injury, and Xie Si-dai, a men’s 3m springboard champion who returned from Tokyo Olympic Games last year, attracted special attention. Huang Jianjie, who is under 14 years old, is the only non-world champion and the youngest player in the team.

  In synchronized swimming, China secured a seat in Paris with the doubles and team events champions of the Hangzhou Asian Games. This time, it will participate in all 11 events of the World Championships for the first time, and Yang Shuncheng, a teenager from Beijing, will make his debut in the men’s singles competition for the first time. The new synchronized swimming rules were implemented last year. China won 3 gold medals, 1 silver and 1 bronze in Fukuoka, and will continue to meet the challenge of bidding for the Paris Olympic Games in Doha this time. Bill may, the 45-year-old godfather of American synchronized swimming, will also appear in Doha. He said that it is his greatest wish to win the qualification for the Paris Olympic Games and stand on the Olympic Games.

Where will the development of lottery go in the future?

It is estimated that many people will issue this question. In fact, the key issue is how to establish a fair and transparent lottery sales lottery mechanism.

For example, lottery tickets can be purchased through real-name registration system, so that lottery tickets can complete all the sales lottery payment processes under the sunshine supervision mechanism.

The prospect of lottery market is huge and can be continuously explored. The core is how the competent authorities really do effective supervision!
