Recently, there was a high-profile interaction within JD.com, which was exposed by Qi Shanshan, a spokesperson for JD.com, on her social media. On the afternoon of 12/0, she shared a screenshot of a conversation with JD.com founder Liu Qiangdong on the intranet.

The screenshot revealed that Liu Qiangdong made a direct response to the remarks made by Wang Puzhong, CEO of Meituan's core local business, earlier in the day. Wang has previously publicly questioned JD.com's decision to enter the food delivery market, mentioning that companies such as Alibaba, Didi, and ByteDance have also tried but failed to achieve significant success. In the face of such doubts, Liu Qiangdong appeared quite pragmatic, and he suggested that people who are available join the "little brother emergency team" to help the takeaway or express brother who is in difficulty in the strong wind, or participate in the procurement team of enterprises whose exports are blocked, and provide practical help to these enterprises.

Liu Qiangdong further emphasized that companies should avoid falling into meaningless "war of words" and instead focus on work that can create social value. This statement undoubtedly shows Liu Qiangdong's deep understanding and practice of Jingdong's corporate culture.

Looking back on the cause of the incident, Wang Puzhong expressed his disdain for the launch of JD's takeaway business in his speech on the morning of 12/0, believing that JD.com is not the first taster of the takeaway market, and may not be able to have the last laugh. He cited the failures of Alibaba, Didi, ByteDance and others in an attempt to prove that JD.com's move was also doomed.

然而,事實並非如此。自今年2月11日正式宣佈進軍外賣市場以來,京東憑藉差異化競爭策略,已迅速覆蓋包括北京、上海、廣州、深圳在內的全國126個城市,入駐的品質堂食餐廳門店數更是突破了30萬家。這一成績,無疑是對王莆中言論的有力回應。

In the context of increasingly fierce competition between JD.com and food delivery giants such as Meituan and Ele.me, Liu Qiangdong's pragmatic attitude and pursuit of social value have undoubtedly injected stronger competitiveness into JD.com. At the same time, the turmoil caused by social media has once again highlighted the fierce and complex competition in the Internet industry.
