255: Section 255

You know, just a year or two ago, they could easily suppress all of Junzi Group's promotions, making their returns only a tenth of their investment.

But now.

They are already completely unable to restrict Meituan's promotions.

In fact, yesterday, Ma had already discovered this.

But he still refused to believe it.

Until today.

Only then could he grudgingly accept reality.

Listening to Ma's words, Ma Liuyun, who was beside him, also sighed and said,

"After getting WeChat."

"Junzi Group's strength is actually quite terrifying."

"The several software products Junzi Group has launched now, aside from Meituan, which is still developing, every other software is a leading product."

"Current Junzi Group is no longer just a new star in Yan Country's internet sector, but a behemoth that can truly rival us and Ali."

"Except for a slight lack in foundation and business volume, Junzi Group is not much weaker than us in other aspects."

After Ma Liuyun finished speaking.

Ma couldn't help but shake his head, leaning back in his chair and rubbing his forehead with his hand.

"Sigh."

Ma sighed deeply.

"Since it's impossible to stop Meituan's large-scale promotions."

"Then we can only start from other directions."

Ma looked at Ma Liuyun.

"Have you figured out this Meituan Select feature?"

"Can Penguin Group Buying copy it?"

Ma looked at the others in the conference room.

In fact, the main reason for today's meeting was because Meituan launched a brand-new Select feature.

Because they were constantly monitoring Meituan.

So, on the day Meituan Select was launched, Penguin Group had already discovered this.

In the following day.

Ma also had people specifically investigate this feature.

Facing Ma's inquiry.

Li Wenqiu in the room slowly exhaled.

"We have already figured out the specific details of this feature."

"And this feature."

Li Wenqiu shook his head.

"We can't copy it for now."

Chapter 181: Uncopiable Feature, Shift in Promotion Direction!

After Li Wenqiu finished speaking, Ma was stunned for a moment.

"Why can't we copy this feature yet?"

"Isn't it just a small update?"

Ma had only asked his subordinates to investigate the specific information about Select; he himself didn't know much about it.

Facing Ma's inquiry, Li Wenqiu took a deep breath.

"Meituan Select is actually a type of offline community group buying business."

"Meituan has moved supermarkets and farmers' markets into the Select feature, and also added warehouses and logistics lines."

"If there were no Meituan logistics and warehouses, then this feature would not be used by anyone."

"But the key to this feature."

Li Wenqiu paused.

"Is the offline logistics and warehouse system."

"Buying today and delivering tomorrow is simply impossible without sufficient inventory and a logistics system."

"And Meituan's method is clearly learned from Pinduoduo's logistics system."

"And this logistics system is the key that we currently cannot copy."

Li Wenqiu's explanation continued to sound.

After learning that Meituan launched a brand-new Select interface the day before yesterday.

He immediately conducted various investigations into Meituan's new feature.

Finally, he also learned a lot of information.

And his voice 610 continued to sound.

"Now."

"The number of Meituan Select logistics warehouses even exceeds Pinduoduo's logistics warehouses."

"And the number of offline pick-up points and delivery personnel also exceeds the number of delivery riders for Meituan's own Waimai feature."

"If we want to copy this feature, not only is the cost too high, but it also requires a long time."

Listening to Li Wenqiu's explanation, Ma was silent for a moment.

"Looking at it this way."

"We really can't copy Meituan Select."

"Is there really no way?"

Ma looked at the others.

Although he didn't hold much hope for this feature, since Wang Mo created it, he would definitely copy it if he could, without any hesitation.

Facing Ma's inquiry.

Everyone exchanged glances.

Finally, Zheng Haidi offered a suggestion.

"It's not that there's no way."

The others all looked at him because of his words.

"Our Penguin Group Buying actually has a lot of offline operational capabilities now."

"We can transfer all offline operational personnel from Penguin Group Buying's Waimai feature, including delivery riders, to the Select feature."

"This way."

"We can indeed launch a Penguin Select feature similar to Meituan Select in a short period."

"But the key is."

Zheng Haidi paused, his expression becoming much more serious.

"If we want to copy this feature, we can only suspend Penguin Group Buying's progress and layout in the Waimai sector, and it might even significantly shrink the scale of Penguin Waimai as a result."

"But we currently don't know whether the community group buying feature is worth us doing this."

Zheng Haidi stopped and met Ma's gaze.

"Currently, Penguin Group Buying's market share in the Waimai sector is similar to Baidu Takeout, second only to Ele.me."

"Should we use our market share in the Waimai sector to gamble on the future potential of a community group buying feature?"

As Zheng Haidi's words fell.

Everyone present fell silent.

They all knew very well that the last sentence in Zheng Haidi's words was the key.

Is this community group buying really worth them giving up the Waimai sector?

At this time.

Everyone's gaze turned to Ma.

Because Ma was the one who had to make the final choice.

Ma also didn't expect that he would be in a situation where he almost had to choose between two options.
