How to rewrite the pattern of the takeaway industry, seven questions to Baidu takeaway ＂selling yourself＂ Ele.me

　　There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. When Wang Lu, Baidu’s vice-president, and Zhang Xuhao, the founder of Ele.me, clasped hands, even as the delivery guys in different colors outside the window were still engaged in a "contest" over who squeezed into the narrow elevator first, the pattern of the delivery market had changed.

　　On August 24th, Ele.me formally announced the merger of Baidu Takeaway. After the merger is completed, Baidu Takeaway becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ele.me. The two sides did not disclose the transaction amount, but only through two "internal letters" from Ele.me and Baidu Takeaway to close the long-circulated merger. When the dust falls, how will the newly formed "blue and red combination" run in? What changes will happen to the mentality of each individual in the battlefield? Even if many of the core issues of the merger are deliberately "blurred", there are always clues to be found.

　　Will there be Baidu takeaway in the future?

　　Baidu takeaway maintains its existing brand and organizational structure to operate independently

　　"If the two sides merge, will the new brand be renamed Duzi Hungry?" Of course, the joke of netizens did not come true. Baidu Takeaway still develops as an independent brand and operating system, and the personnel structure including management remains unchanged.

　　Zhang Xuhao, CEO of Ele.me, said in an internal letter that Baidu Takeaway and Ele.me come together, but it would be the best decision to let Baidu Takeaway operate independently with its existing brand and organizational structure. Zhang Xuhao said that Baidu Takeaway operates independently, which does not mean that it does not interact with each other. The two sides will help each other and complement each other’s advantages to form a joint force of 1 + 1 > 2. Ele.me will invest funds, traffic, manpower and other resources in Baidu Takeaway to support Baidu Takeaway to become bigger and stronger, so that the user experience can be greatly improved.

　　Baidu Takeaway also said that after the merger, Baidu Takeaway will continue to develop as an independent brand and operating system, and the personnel structure including management will remain unchanged. The acquisition does not involve Baidu Nuomi, which has attracted much attention before. "We will make every effort to strengthen strategic coordination with Ele.me to achieve a win-win effect. This is the trend of industry development and the common choice of management. Some students may not be able to accept this change for the time being. Yesterday we were still fighting in blood, and today we have clasped hands. However, the change must be for a better start."

　　2 Who brokered the deal?

　　Alibaba and Baidu, of course.

　　Alibaba provided financing support for the acquisition of Baidu food delivery by Ele.me. Cai Chongxin, executive vice chairperson of Alibaba Group, said that Alibaba and Ele.me have reached a strategic cooperation for a year, which has created great value for the users of both parties. The market position established by Ele.me so far also proves the excellent strategic vision and execution of the management team. Alibaba supports Ele.me to integrate the food delivery market. It believes that Ele.me will be able to consolidate its leading advantage after merging Baidu food delivery. The group will continue to give strong support to the new platform in terms of traffic and financing.

　　This transaction is of course also supported by Baidu Group. Lu Qi, president and chief operating officer of Baidu Group, said that he is very happy to see Baidu Takeaway and Ele.me marriage, and believes that the integrated resources and technical capabilities can bring a better consumer experience to consumers.

　　Baidu Takeaway also said in an internal email, "Baidu and Alibaba will also give us all-round and greater support. This also means that we will receive double the resources from now on."

　　3 Is Baidu takeaway "cheap"?

　　In 2015, Baidu takeaway was valued at $2.40 billion

　　In yesterday’s official announcement, the parties did not disclose the transaction price. But according to Caijing magazine, the deal is only $800 million, with $200 million in cash.

　　"Caijing" reported that the price is divided into two parts: Baidu takeaway 500 million dollars for sale; in addition, Baidu packaged some traffic inlet resources to Ele.me, priced at 300 million dollars, including mobile Baidu, Baidu Nuomi, Baidu map, the term is five years, Baidu search period is two years. This 800 million dollars 200 million dollars in cash, Ele.me issued shares 300 million dollars, Baidu accounted for 5% of the shares of Ele.me after the completion of the transaction, the remaining 300 million dollars lock period of five years.

　　If the price is true, it is indeed impressive.

　　In 2015, after Baidu takeaway completed the A round of financing of 250 million US dollars, Baidu founder and CEO Robin Li once said that Baidu takeaway was valued at 2.40 billion US dollars. In 2016, Baidu takeaway also frequently contacted investors, and the proposed price of B round financing happened to be about 500 million US dollars.

　　Two years later, the delivery fees of the three major takeaway platforms have quietly risen, but the valuation of Baidu takeaway is far less than that of the year it was established. This price may only make the A round investors not lose money. What’s more, the "traffic package" worth 300 million US dollars covers almost all of Baidu’s high-quality entrances, including mobile Baidu, Baidu Nuomi, and Baidu Map.

　　What does Alibaba want?

　　Another layout of the new retail strategy

　　The latest financial report released by Alibaba shows that in April 2017, Alibaba and Ant Financial further increased their holdings in Ele.me, with a total investment amount of 400 million US dollars. After the completion of this investment, Alibaba’s shareholding ratio in Ele.me was 32.94%, replacing the Ele.me management team and becoming the largest shareholder of Ele.me.

　　In fact, before May 2014, Meituan still belonged to the Ali department, but with the merger of Meituan Dianping, Ali and Meituan also "broke up".

　　The industry generally believes that Ele.me’s acquisition of Baidu takeaway is another layout of Alibaba’s new retail strategy. Ali’s strategy is to develop offline and penetrate into various scenarios related to payment, which will inevitably conflict with Meituan’s business. In April 2016, Ele.me integrated the word-of-mouth of Alibaba to provide operational support for the takeaway service of the word-of-mouth platform. Today’s Ali is building a new retail ecosystem. After losing control of Meituan, the combination of Ele.me + Baidu takeaway is even more important to Ali.

　　5 Baidu to get rid of the burden?

　　The soaring stock price speaks for itself

　　In fact, when the news was not finally confirmed on Monday, Baidu’s soaring share price was enough to explain everything.

　　Although Baidu founder Robin Li said in 2015 that he would invest in 20 billion within three years to support the development of O2O business, including Baidu takeaway, the business model of burning money and unsmooth financing have made Baidu takeaway lose the qualification to compete for the first place in the industry.

　　Since the second half of last year, Baidu Group has made it clear that artificial intelligence will be the main development goal, and Baidu’s takeaway business, which requires a lot of money, will eventually become an "abandoned child". In Baidu’s latest second-quarter financial report, Baidu has set a new strategic goal of transforming AI. Li Yanhong said that Baidu uses artificial intelligence as the driving force to continuously improve its existing core business, especially mobile Baidu, search, information flow and other core products, and did not mention Baidu’s future layout and strategy in the O2O field.

　　How can the takeaway industry landscape be rewritten?

　　The tripod becomes a two-man competition for hegemony

　　After the merger of Ele.me and Baidu Takeaway, some of Baidu Takeaway’s mid-to-high-end customer resources will complement the customer base of Ele.me, which started in the campus market. In addition, Baidu Takeaway’s technical advantages will also become a "weapon" for the development of Ele.me. Analysys analyst Yang Xu believes that Ele.me takes over Baidu Takeaway as a business, user and rider who value Baidu. "Baidu has always been positioned as a high-end and white-collar user, and it is a model of quality takeaway, so Ele.me can access the cooperation of Baidu quality merchants."

　　At present, the competition between Ele.me and Meituan is particularly intense, and the market share of the two sides is also increasing. According to the "Research Report on China’s Online Catering Takeaway Market in the First Half of 2017" released by iiMedia Consulting, Ele.me maintains the lead with a share of 41.7%, followed by Meituan Takeaway with 41%, and Baidu Takeaway retains a share of 13.2%. After the merger of Ele.me and Baidu Takeaway, the market share will exceed 50%, which will greatly change the current stalemate between Ele.me and Meituan Takeaway.

　　7 What does Meituan think of this merger?

　　"There is still a lot of room for growth in the takeaway market"

　　Yesterday, Meituan takeaway officials finally spoke out. Meituan said that the takeaway industry has come to this day, which is a process of mutual achievement for each participant in the market. No matter how the industry landscape changes, what remains unchanged is customer-centric. The takeaway market still has a lot of room for growth, and is willing to work together with peers to expand the takeaway market, improve industry norms, practice social responsibility, and provide better services to consumers.

　　Aizhan’s net profit fell by 80%

　　The sale of Baidu takeaway may affect its performance

　　Beijing Morning Post (Reporter, Chen Qiong) As one of the shareholders of Baidu Takeaway, Weiqian (China) Holdings Co., Ltd. used this investment to achieve a 2.6-fold increase in net profit last year, but this "dividend" did not last. With the sale of Baidu Takeaway to Ele.me, the performance prospects of Weiqian (China) Holdings Co., Ltd. have become increasingly blurred.

　　According to the semi-annual report released by Weiqian (China) Holdings Co., Ltd., Weiqian achieved a turnover of 1.152 billion yuan in the first half of 2017, down 2.5% year-on-year; net profit was 109 million yuan, down 80.9% year-on-year. In addition, the group’s other losses were 3.015 million yuan, down 100.5% from 623 million yuan in the same period in 2016. For the decline in operating performance, Weiqian attributed the reason to the decline in the number of stores and same-store sales during the reporting period. The semi-annual report shows that the number of Weiqian stores in mainland China fell from 625 in mid-2016 to 619 in the middle of this year.

　　In the second half of 2015, Weiqian invested 70 million US dollars (about 466 million yuan) in Baidu’s takeaway business. This investment accounted for less than 10% of Baidu’s takeaway equity, but brought 260.5% net profit growth to Weiqian in 2016. However, this investment has not changed the slump of Weiqian’s main ramen business. In recent years, Weiqian has launched more than a dozen sub-brands such as Hito Zang and Westinghouse Musashi in one go. However, the strategy of intensively launching sub-brands has not saved the decline of Weiqian’s main catering business.

　　With the sale of Baidu Takeaway at a "low price", the performance of shareholder Weiqian (China) has also become uncertain. According to the announcement of Weiqian, according to recent market news, one of the company’s "designated financial assets at fair value through profit and loss has a certain degree of uncertainty", which actually refers to the company’s investment in Baidu Takeaway.

　　In this way, Geely Galaxy L7 has almost no opponent in the A-class SUV, and the new "roll king" in the 200,000-class electric hybrid market has emerged.　　

　　Redefining "high value"

　　Geely Galaxy, which only makes high-value new energy vehicles, came at the call of the times. It is a new symbol of Geely and a strategic implementation of "Smart Geely 2025".

Geely's "hurricane" rolls to the "Milky Way" _fororder_image010

　　From the industrial side, China’s new energy is changing from a "policy cultivation period" to a "comprehensive marketization" drive; from the user side, China’s new energy market penetration rate has reached 27.6%, but there are still "battery life discounts" "battery insecurity" "intelligent driving out of control" and other user pain points; from the brand side, Chinese brands have an absolute market share in China’s new energy market…

　　There are signs that China’s new energy industry has reached an inflection point of development. It is moving from the first stage of extensive growth to the second stage of intensive cultivation "value upward". In the second stage, users are bound to expect higher-value and safer smart electric vehicles. The industry also needs to lead the positive development path of high-value growth with technological breakthroughs.

Geely's "hurricane" rolls to the "Milky Way" _fororder_image011

　　Geely Galaxy brings together Geely’s whole-system technical strength, leading intelligent manufacturing system, and cutting-edge technology ecosystem integrated with heaven and earth, leading China’s new energy to enter a "new stage" of value upward development. At the same time, Geely Galaxy is also the original intention of the carmaker "Geely", which is Geely’s core value of solving practical pain points for users, and the phased achievement of "long-term" in deep car building.

　　Rejecting homogeneity, low quality, and price wars, Geely’s every strategic transformation is won by the value leap brought by technological breakthroughs. This time, Geely Galaxy is no exception, and will achieve breakthroughs in the field of new energy with its own differentiated characteristics. (Text: Wu Yue, Photo: Geely)

Geely's "hurricane" rolls to the "Milky Way" _fororder_image001

Fully equipped with 10 screens, the highlights are dense, and the question of 469,800 yuan starts from M9.

In the Chinese market where hundreds of auto brands compete on the same platform, the penetration rate of new energy vehicles seems to be growing, but it cannot meet the survival and development needs of all brands. In the fierce competition, in order to better attract users and maintain stable development, major auto brands need to constantly introduce new products in order to keep users "fresh". In recent years, Wenjie, as an emerging brand, has completely opened the market in China’s high-end new energy field with its "sudden emergence" Wenjie series of products.

The data shows that in November 2023, AITO Wenjie’s new car delivery reached a total of 18,827 vehicles, making it one of the best high-end new energy brands. Today (December 26), at Huawei’s winter full-scene press conference, AITO Wenjie "took advantage of the victory" and officially launched the new flagship product of the family -. The new car launched a total of 4 models, priced at 46.98-56 9,800 yuan, and will start large-scale delivery on February 26, 2024. As a product that has won more than 30,000 orders in the blind stage, the new car has a lot of highlights from space, technology to power driving control. What is the new car like? Let’s find out with Brother Circle.

Unique style, extreme space use

In the Chinese market where product design is "full of tricks", the AITO Q-world series products have a distinct and unique style. This time, the Q-world M9 still continues the family-style design. The closed front face is combined with a large number of soft curved surfaces, which is simple and stylish. The presence of the headlights is extremely strong. It integrates daytime running lights and near and far lights, as well as Huawei’s megapixel smart projection headlights that shine like stars after lighting. While reflecting the sense of technology, it further enhances the refinement of the whole vehicle.

As a flagship class, the "profile" of the Wenjie M9 has an atmosphere that matches its positioning. The body has been subtracted as much as possible in the design elements, the transition between the profile and the curved surface is smooth and natural, and the design elements such as hidden door handles further deepen the "cool" feeling of the whole car visually. After a small amount of chrome-plated elements are added, the new car looks dull and not dull. The whole body presents a dive posture of low front and high back, and with large-size wheels, it inspires a good sporty atmosphere.

The relatively round and full tail gives the M9 a bit more "affinity". It adopts the popular through-type taillights, and the shape of the lamp group echoes the front face. And it also uses a large number of curved designs, highlighting the simple and fashionable style. The "AITO" characters above the taillights play a just right embellishment role.

In addition, the body size of the Q Jie M9 is 5230/1999/1800 mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 3110 mm. The good space "foundation" created by the wide-body long axis has not been wasted. The Q Jie M9 is based on the people-oriented design concept, and the effective riding space is up to 2725 mm, and the one/two/three-row space is up to 1045/1060/950 mm respectively. At the same time, it is equipped with the queen co-pilot who supports 14-way + 8-point massage, supports ventilation, heating and other functions. It has double 121 ° zero-angle two-row zero-gravity seats, which can bring a leapfrog ride experience.

Huawei cooperation has greatly improved the ante intelligent experience

As a high-end new energy product, the AITO Q & A series can always give people a leapfrog cockpit experience. The new flagship Q & A M9 is naturally the same. Entering the cabin, the Q & A M9 interior is made of good materials "visible to the naked eye", and the center console, both sides of the central island, the door handle area and other places we often come into contact with are covered with soft. With the embellishment of crystal knobs and wood grain trims, the overall sense of class in the cockpit is enhanced.

In addition, the Qinjie M9 also tries to give you some visual "technological shock". The whole car is fully equipped with 10 screens, and the driver, co-pilot and even rear passengers do not need to "grab the screen". Sitting in the main driver’s seat and looking up, there is also HUAWEI AR-HUD, the front windshield becomes a giant screen in seconds, and the driving information can be displayed more intuitively and fully.

What’s even more stunning is the industry’s first 32-inch car-level projection giant screen, which uses Huawei’s Consonance to point to the remote control, providing a convenient and enjoyable viewing experience for rear passengers.

With the newly upgraded HarmonyOS 4 empowered, the convenience and comfort of the new car are further enhanced. Voice interaction and control, two mature Internet car functions that have been polished, will naturally not be absent, and the rich Hongmeng ecosystem can also help you find the functions you want.

At the same time, based on the central axis of the cockpit, the new car is also equipped with a star ring scatter. The built-in tweeter is also connected to the "industry’s strongest" on-board artificial intelligence – Xiaoyi Smart Assistant, which further enhances the interactive experience with a visual image.

Of course, if you are a "particular person", then you can also find what you want in the Q World M9. In order to optimize the user experience from the audio-visual level, the new car is equipped with the HUAWEI SOUND sound system that integrates Schroders acoustic scattering technology, and the music flow is like being in the opera house.

In the second half of the intelligent track, Huawei’s intelligent travel solutions are recognized as "far ahead". This time, the Q & A M9 is equipped with HUAWEI ADS 2.0. Based on 192-line lidar, it integrates 12 ultrasonic radar, 3 millimeter wave radar and other intelligent sensing hardware to empower easy and safe driving life. It is worth mentioning that at present, Huawei high-speed and city express NCA have been able to open nationwide, and urban NCA will also be delivered by the end of December.

Zero hundred acceleration is as fast as 4.3 seconds, and the hardcore performance is interesting

Although this is an era of "software-defined cars", the powerful will always take into account the user’s pursuit of hard-core performance at the same time. In the two cars, the excellent performance of the AITO family has been verified. As a flagship product, the M9 will naturally not "drop the chain".

This time, the Q Jie M9 provides users with an extended range version and a pure electric version to choose from. Among them, the extended range version is equipped with a 1.5T "power bank" with a maximum power of 112 kilowatts, and the motor providing driving force has a maximum power of 365 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 675 Nm. The pure electric version has a maximum power of 390 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 673 Nm, and the fastest acceleration of zero hundred is 4.3 seconds. It is worth mentioning that, as a product with a white body aluminum alloy usage ratio of 80% and a lightweight factor of 2.02, the Q Jie M9 extended range version has a significant reduction in energy consumption, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is only 6.9 liters.

However, a good driving experience cannot be supported by the motor alone. The M9 is also equipped with a Turing chassis, a 4-ball long double fork arm, and a multi-link independent suspension to achieve both comfort and movement.

At the same time, the whole system is equipped with CDC variable damping shock absorber + closed air suspension as standard, and the body is adjustable in 5 gears. Integrate HUAWEI ADS road surface sensing system and iVSE to realize intelligent vehicle state sensing, match HUAWEI DATS dynamic adaptive torque control system and HUAWEI xMotion intelligent body collaborative control technology. It can achieve an efficient, stable and comfortable driving experience under all working conditions.

In addition, the M9 uses owl-enhanced steering technology, with a maximum front wheel angle of 41.75 degrees and a minimum turning radius of only 5.80 meters, making it large and flexible.

Regarding the battery life issue that users are most concerned about, the range-extended version of the model can reach 275 kilometers in pure electric battery life, and the CLTC comprehensive working condition can last up to 1402 kilometers. The pure electric version of the model CLTC has a battery life of 630 kilometers. At the same time, based on Huawei’s "Giant Whale" 800V high-voltage battery platform, charging for 5 minutes can supplement the battery life of 150 kilometers. In addition to urban transportation, on the basis of the increasingly complete repair of charging piles and other supporting facilities, it is no problem to run far away.

The opinion of "Car Circle": The growth of Chinese high-end brands will inevitably go through a confrontation with the traditional luxury system. As the new flagship of the AITO Wenjie family, the price of the Wenjie M9 has intuitively come to the ranks of luxury products. On the basis of Huawei’s cooperation with Cyrus to further up the ante, in terms of strength, performance, and technology, the product power presented by the Wenjie M9 has far exceeded its pricing range. In the Wenjie M9, the value of high-end and luxury is being redefined.

Bought a Xiaomi 98-inch TV, rights protection can’t be low-key

This article is from the WeChat official account:Zhu Si Ma Ji (ID: zhusimaji88), Author: Fox Ann, the title picture comes from: Visual China

Dear Mr. Lei, Mr. Lu, and friends of Xiaomi Group:

Hello!

Today, on behalf of myself, as an ordinary Xiaomi user and future Xiaomi electric vehicle owner, I am seeking your help from the old rice fans who have used and accompanied this company’s products for more than 10 years.

On April 9, 2020, I officially ordered a 98-inch TV from Redmi priced at 19999 through Xiaomi, order number 5200409269347245 in Xiaomi Mall. This is the first time I have purchased a product with a total price of more than 20,000 yuan in the Xiaomi platform and Xiaomi product series. It is not only a recognition of Xiaomi’s previous products and services as rice noodles, but also a digital enthusiast’s affirmation of Xiaomi’s pioneering use of domestic TV panels and Chinese quality.

At the same time,It was also the first batch of seed users nationwide after Xiaomi entered the super-large-screen TV track.

Due to the over-sized size of the 98-inch TV, it took more than a month from placing the order on April 9 to surveying the site and finally completing the installation on May 13. For the smooth installation of the TV, I agreed with Xiaomi to help me find a crane.The hoisting operation is carried out 40 meters above the ground at a cost of more than 2,500 yuan.The above-mentioned shocking photos quickly sparked heated discussions after being shared through social networks. Mr. Lei and Mr. Lu’s Weibo both affirmed my action in the form of forwarding Weibo. Mr. Lei’s Weibo evaluation at the time was: If you buy 98 inches, you will not be low-key.

My friends in the media, public relations, investment, and boss circles all have fresh memories of this incident.

Due to the fact that the hoisting operation of 98-inch TVs was too popular on Weibo and Douyin platforms, the students of Xiaomi Group followed up and found me, asking if I was willing to authorize the provision of photos of the operation as a follow-up use by Xiaomi. Based on my affirmation of Xiaomi and my trust in Mr. Lei and Mr. Lu, I readily agreed to all Xiaomi’s requests for the use of the above photos for promotion. From placing an order for Redmi98 to hoisting and installation,Until Xiaomi authorized the use of photos, the whole process was my voluntary and spontaneous behavior at my own expense. The subsequent official promotion content did not have any form of cooperation with me.It is based entirely on the passion of a rice noodle.

At the press conference of Redmi’s 86-inch TV on May 26, 2020, the photo of the blue sky and white clouds and the crane on Mr. Lu’s background was from the hoisting operation of my house. As a crazy rice noodle who buys a TV regardless of the cost of the broken window of the crane, Xiaomi’s large-screen TV is famous all over the world, and it has since become a good story.

However, this was not the end of happiness, but the beginning of trouble.

After only 38 days of normal use, Redmi98 experienced regional splash screen and large areas of dark spots.

In the case that the replacement panel was invalid, it was decided to replace the whole machine. As a result, the same failure occurred again 146 days later. Xiaomi once again had to replace the whole TV, but only 44 days after the replacement, the TV still had the exact same problem.When Xiaomi asked for a third replacement, I rejected it. After questioning the product design flaw and asking for a refund of one to three, I had to find a friend from Xiaomi’s Beijing headquarters through personal connections. With the assistance of my friend, the engineer team of the manufacturer made a special trip to Hangzhou for on-site inspection and maintenance.

However, less than a year after this repair, the TV still suffered from a large area of dark spots. In the past three years, Xiaomi engineers and after-sales staff received a total of 5 TV repair reports from me, and completed two complete machine replacements and three complete replacements of the back panel. However, the problem still persists.

Although the engineer team of maintenance and after-sales worked hard, the problem still exists today. When I raised the problem again and did not solve it, Xiaomi after-sales refused to continue to provide after-sales services on the grounds that the product was over-insured. According to incomplete statistics, the normal condition of this TV is only about 55% of the overall time since the purchase. During the five maintenance and replacement processes in the past three years,Xiaomi refused to recall the whole machine and insisted on replacing it with replacement repair, which puzzled me deeply.

Until the last repair in November 2022,It is common to learn from maintenance engineers that the same problem with the same model is common.It is not limited to my case. So from then on, I decided to let go of the rice noodle mentality and try to defend my rights as an ordinary consumer according to China’s consumer protection law. During the process of defending my rights, I told my friends about the many situations I encountered when I purchased a Redmi98 TV, and accidentally discovered through overseas friends that there is a clear difference between Xiaomi in China’s domestic and overseas markets:

Xiaomi has not had an official information disclosure announcement of recall and return to the factory in China, and Xiaomi’s official website has never had an information announcement column setting for suspected recall.However, overseas Xiaomi has a special information prompt column, and regularly publishes relevant information about products with safety and quality hazards due to design defects of relevant Xiaomi products.

Information Tips for Overseas Xiaomi

Such as the above-mentioned global recall notice of Xiaomi’s M365 electric scooter being sold overseas with potential safety hazards, there is a clear contrast with the so-called "domestic recall" of the previous 2022 Xiaomi 11 mobile phone with quality problems and only providing replacement panels and extended warranty services in China. The above behavior immediately reminded me of Tesla China, which had disappointed me before.

In the literal sense, replacement repair is indeed a clever after-sales processing method and clever text narrative method compared to recall means. For small-sized, low-tech value-added mobile phones and smart home products in the early years, the labor cost of engineer maintenance is much higher than replacement, so for a long time as a rice fan, I have been praising Xiaomi’s service system.

However, as Xiaomi’s products and technologies gradually moved into the deep water area, more and more high-end product sequences began to be laid. After large-scale, high-tech value-added products entered the market, the consumption-upgraded rice noodles and Xiaomi after-sales services inadvertently changed on the demand side.Rice noodles that buy high-end serial products hope to get reliable and safe quality. Xiaomi after-sales service must also take into account user requests and practical cost issues while providing convenient services.As Xiaomi, which is about to enter the new energy vehicle track, and as a rice noodle who is watching with coins, I can’t help but ask Mr. Lei four questions:

Finally, thank you for taking the time to read my letter in your spare time. Although the current situation of rights protection is very difficult, it may be fruitful after suffering and tossing, because I firmly believe in the famous saying – "always believe that good things are about to happen".

Looking forward to your reply from Mr. Lei.

One Hangzhou Rice Noodles

Attached: Redmi98 rights protection time series

On June 20, 2020, the first after-sales warranty was provided to Xiaomi 38 days after the installation was completed. The 98-inch TV had the problem of frequent regional splash screens. After remote assistance from engineers, the software settings and function key operation resets were invalid, and the after-sales service said it was waiting for the company’s material accessories to arrive.

On July 2, 2020, the Xiaomi engineer team carried out the first door-to-door dismantling and installation, and replaced several panels on the back of the TV. After the power-on test was successful, the after-sales service was completed. Unexpectedly, in the early morning of the next day, the TV flashed again. After giving feedback to the after-sales service, the after-sales service had to report to the leader.

On July 8, 2020, Xiaomi informed the after-sales service that the TV would be replaced and told to cancel the maintenance order. After a few days of confirmation, the familiar crane, the familiar onlookers, and the familiar 40-meter broken window operation happened again, but this time compared to the last hot search, the onlookers found a TV that was taken away from a height of 40 meters.

On December 1, 2020, the regional flash screen of the new Redmi 98-inch TV was again replaced. The difference is that the position of the regional flash screen has changed from the bottom left to the bottom right. At the same time, there are also multiple black shadow blocks on the TV(Disappears after reboot, but will still appear later.)…

On December 7, 2020, the after-sales service conveyed that the application for the second replacement of the 98-inch TV set had been approved. For the first time, I raised doubts about the replacement repair treatment method, but the after-sales service said that the 98-inch TV set was repaired on the spot, so it could only be replaced.

On December 25, 2020, the Xiaomi engineer team carried out the second replacement, which was still a hoisting operation. I said that the two replacement and hoisting were the limit of my tolerance for Xiaomi products, and I don’t want another one.

On February 7, 2021, the second replacement of the 98-inch TV failed again, causing a large area of dark spots to continuously expand, affecting normal use.

On February 9, 2021, the after-sales service expressed whether to accept the third replacement, but I rejected it. At that time, two plans were proposed: 1. Refund one to three according to the elimination insurance, and recycle this paranormal TV. 2. In the case of no replacement, the cause of the TV failure must be found and repaired.

On February 22, 2021, the after-sales service conveyed the leader’s meaning: either return it or change it. The 98-inch TV did not refund one to three, and the door-to-door maintenance was said.I had to contact my friends at Xiaomi headquarters in Beijing through my identity as a media person other than an ordinary user, and directly give peer-to-peer feedback to the executives of the Redmi team, expressing my willingness and determination to solve the problem, hoping to end the torture before the arrival of 315.

On February 24, 2021, a team of experts from the Redmi factory in Jiangsu drove hundreds of kilometers to Hangzhou. They conducted tests and inspections at my house for several hours. For the engineers who came from afar, I treated them with sincerity. Not only did I smoothly report the problems encountered before to the engineers and put forward some opinions and guesses of quasi-professional users, but I even entertained the technicians of the engineer team to have a hot pot together until nearly 6 pm that day. The engineer team finally came to a conclusion that the wall bracket installed by the TV had been damaged due to the tilt of the installation angle. After the engineers replaced the damaged parts and adjusted the installation wall hanger, the TV returned to normal.

On February 2, 2022, I reported to Xiaomi for the fourth time that there was an abnormality in the TV, and a large area of black shadows appeared. However, due to the severe epidemic in 2022, my community was sealed and controlled soon after due to confirmed cases. The door-to-door maintenance was delayed again and again, and I could only endure the dark spots and wait for the epidemic to improve.

On November 26, 2022, Xiaomi engineers came to the door for the fifth time and replaced the backplane. The engineer said that the previous backplane of this TV was no longer produced, and this time it was the latest model.And informed because my TV has been out of warranty, so this service is a special repair, but there is no next time.

On November 30, 2022, I reported to Xiaomi for the fifth time that the black shadow of the TV still exists, but the position has changed, appearing on the upper side of the TV center. However, Xiaomi after-sales said that it has reported to the leader, but has not received a reply so far.

As of March 15, 2023, the Redmi 98-inch TV has not been repaired.

Liu Zhenfei, a partner of Alibaba and president of Autonavi Group, said that the future travel is a huge ecosystem, and Autonavi cannot be relied on alone. It needs to cooperate with a wider and more three-dimensional partner for win-win results.

"Big Country Tour": Top 10 Comprehensive Service Capabilities of China’s Scenic Spots Released

According to the data of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, in November 2017, a total of 500 million people traveled across the country, the national tourism income was 583.60 billion yuan, and the total sales of retail and catering enterprises were 5 trillion. Compared with recent data, the number of travelers is increasing, the tourism income is increasing, and the market space is increasing.

Autonavi Maps launched the 11th National Travel Festival, which aims to solve the problems of "where to go" and "how to go" for the public’s 11th travel, and strives to make the 11th holiday "free from congestion and happy to travel".

Since September, based on the big data accumulated by the "National Global Tourism Holographic Information Service Platform", Autonavi Maps, Weibo, and CCTV have jointly launched the "Great Country Tour – China Scenic Spot Tourism Comprehensive Service Capability Index Selection" activity.

The "National Global Tourism Holographic Information Service Platform" was launched on January 5 this year, jointly launched by the former National Tourism Administration and Autonavi Group, covering nearly 3,500 5A/4A scenic spots across the country, and currently has more than 100 million hits nationwide.

The "Great Country Tour" activity selected 20 shortlisted scenic spots through a comprehensive evaluation of the scenic spots’ service capabilities in various aspects such as food, housing, transportation, tourism, entertainment and shopping in the whole region.

CCTV broadcasts the real-time scenery of the shortlisted scenic spots, and the public can vote through the Autonavi map and Weibo to select and combine the public voting data to finally generate 10 comprehensive award scenic spots, intuitively presenting the comprehensive tourism service capabilities of China’s scenic spots, and planning destinations for the public’s 11th trip.

Liu Zhenfei, president of Autonavi Group, said that "National Tour" hopes to promote users to recommend to users, so that the word of mouth of the scenic spot can be passed on to more people through the users who have visited, and truly achieve "everyone for me, I for everyone".

The event received more than 45.56 million attention, the total number of referendums exceeded 2.24 million, and the number of discussions reached 270,000. The top ten scenic spots that finally won the comprehensive awards were Lijiang Ancient City Scenic Area in Yunnan Province, Wuzhen Scenic Area in Zhejiang Province, Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area in Henan Province, Yuelu Mountain Scenic Area in Hunan Province, Pingyao Ancient City Scenic Area in Shanxi Province, Yellow Crane Tower Scenic Area in Hubei Province, The First Spring Scenic Area in Shandong Province, Dayan Pagoda · Datang Furong Garden Scenic Area in Shaanxi Province, Chengde Mountain Resort and surrounding temples Scenic Area in Hebei Province, and Jiuhua Mountain Scenic Area in Anhui Province.

At the press conference, Autonavi Maps and CCTV announced a strategic cooperation.

Helping scenic spots: Autonavi releases open API for smart scenic spots

The 11th Travel Festival not only provides travel services for the public, but also Autonavi will provide "smart scenic spot open API" services for scenic spots, connecting scenic spots and tourists, and realizing "one map tour China".

During the 11th long holiday, the scenic spot also has "happy troubles". During the peak period of 11th travel, the scenic spot is facing the pressure of people flow, service, safety and other pressures, and the number of tourists far exceeds the carrying capacity of the scenic spot. After the holiday, the scenic spot will face the problem of fewer tourists and vacant resources, which needs to be promoted and marketed. Some scenic spots choose to build their own mobile platforms, but they are faced with huge investment and traffic is still sluggish.

To this end, Autonavi creates an open API for smart scenic spots, which is open to scenic spots for free, providing scenic spots with four capabilities such as a map tour of China, map stewards, big data centers, and global marketing, empowering scenic spot management.

One Map Tour China completes the global smart tour, providing all-round and pre-tour decision-making, tour services, and post-tour evaluation services inside and outside the scenic spot, covering food, housing, travel, and entertainment purchases.

The big data center analyzes tourist characteristics and behaviors to assist in decision-making management of scenic spots; the map steward gives the ability to manage scenic spots to maintain data and operate information independently; global marketing shares the traffic of the Autonavi map platform with scenic spots to attract tourists to scenic spots.

"Intelligent Yuntai Mountain" based on the open API of Autonavi smart scenic spot has been launched on Autonavi map since August, and the maximum number of visitors in a single day is close to 170,000. Autonavi map provides marketing support for Yuntai Mountain, and the maximum number of clicks in a single day exceeds 1 million.

Real-time congestion avoidance: more than 40 cities enable "smart induction"

In addition to helping the public make pre-trip planning in advance, Autonavi Maps launched a "smart guidance" function during the travel process, cooperating with more than 40 city traffic control departments to use traffic big data to help users plan travel routes in real time and avoid congestion.

The core of "smart guidance" is to link with the local traffic management department in real time, so that the traffic management department’s diversion measures can be reflected on the Autonavi map in a timely manner. The probability of a broken road caused by users entering a temporary parking lot, control, etc. is greatly reduced.

The traffic control department will also analyze road traffic congestion based on the traffic big data of the Autonavi map, and enter the recommended route of the traffic police in the navigation scheduling to achieve dynamic traffic flow allocation and relieve the traffic pressure on the trunk line.

During the May Day period this year, "smart induction" was landed on a small area of expressway sections in Jiangsu Province. Data show that the speed of vehicles on the "smart induction" intervention section has increased by 28%, and the road traffic time has decreased by 30%, significantly relieving road congestion.

In addition, Autonavi, together with more than 80 traffic management departments, recently released the "2018 Mid-Autumn Festival · National Day Travel Forecast Report", which is based on the comprehensive calculation of Autonavi map traffic big data and index model during the Mid-Autumn Festival · National Day period over the years. This is the fifth consecutive year that Autonavi has released a forecast report, providing authoritative and scientific reference suggestions for the public’s National Day travel.

Building an ecosystem together: a one-stop travel service platform, open and win-win with partners

Autonavi Maps is not just a map, but also dedicated to providing the public with a three-dimensional and global one-stop travel service.

Autonavi Group President Liu Zhenfei said that the future of travel is a huge ecosystem, and Autonavi cannot be relied on alone. It needs to cooperate with a wider range of partners for win-win results.
