Have you read Snow Crash's (futuristic novel) description of pizza delivery with pizza franchise owned by the Mafia? Very funny cut also deals with short delivery windows and penalties for failure.

Amazon drove shorter delivery time offer to customers to gain competitive advantage, unnecessarily in my view

Honestly I think is about life culture. The different way to see the real life. I'm from Italy, why i should order something to eat to arrive within 20 min when i can enjoy the life eating into a beautyfull place also alone a enjoying the life ..? the old continent have a different culture ..!

First of all you can't compare China to Europe

There are to many differences

@alexandra its been a long time since you did that :(

:) @eduard i'm a foreign in Italy i love this country.. yes i miss that a lot ..

Ali Baba have lots of small DC s near sourcing and using all kind of transportation ?

enenabler is the goverment

What is the impact of the crisis for B2B e-commerce in China ? Does ALI BABA is thinking about offering a B2B e-commerce platform in China ?

Is LalaMove model the future of last mile collaborative solution?

I confirm what Chengy Lin is saying : now I can eat Charolais or Limousin meat at low prices, delivered within 24h00 at home,instead of buying “Blanc Bleu” meat 40% more expensive at my butchery 😊

A delivery management technology, warehousing automation and so on are great solutions in times of reliable supply chain. Do you agree with that? If so, do you think companies should still focus on digitalization when there are high risks of supply chain disruptions?

I own a food and drinks delivery business in Nigeria and my biggest issue is short term funding to meet the demand. I would love to see how all of you would have responded to that without necessarily raising financing

Realistically, how practical and economic is a 20 minute delivery window??

Chengyi, do delivery guys in china live from tips or do they have a salary or both?

For reference, we own our network entirely and have lease models for vehicles etc. looking for interesting innovative funding mechanisms to meet the demand ; remember otherwise we risk losing the quality of service given how spread out our resources are

@ippat who is you? Paste a link please.

@Chengyi, you presented the 4 pillars, 4 readiness, which make the difference between Chinese and European digital maturity. In your opinion what was the first, the mindset or the technology? Can technology make people more mobile, more digitally mature or this should be a part of the mindset at first?

completely agree: providing exceptional service is so key! otherwise you lose what you had pre-Covid

anyone with any ideas and links please do email me at iffat@oyanow.ng

Drones and autonomous cars are increasing in China since Covid 19. Do you thing EU culture is ready to use this technology ?

absolutely! even with buffer capacity the demand exceeds the supply..

we can merge with ride hailing services but their quality is not as good and I don’t want to co-brand either and dilute the standard we are building
