Li Fi 100 times faster than Wi Fi wireless network technology

 According to foreign media reports, published in February this year a new wireless connection technology "Li-Fi" outdoor experiment being carried out, the data can be transmitted per second 1GB, it was amazing. Zhou hongyi the future of network security to see

V é lmenni Li-Fi research and development company, said the ongoing pilot projects in various sectors, is meant to be commercial.

Li-Fi is a binary wireless networking technology, data transmission is realized by creating a visible light spectrum. This feature so that it can be quickly transmitted through the tiny flashing bulbs to create conditions, with lower cost, more stable, more efficient features. Of course, the light has its inherent shortcomings, such as not like radio waves through walls, so it does not seem suitable for family use. However, the Li-Fi goal in the wider spaces, as well as larger commercial interior spaces.

On demand mode why startups into formal work contract

　　Under the wave of Internet +, O2O has become the leading engine of China's economic development. However, the "online payment in advance, and then to offline experience" concept by O2O Americans Alex Rampell, proposed in August 2010 the earliest. O2O was not in the United States are widely disseminated until 1 year after the only hot in China. In fact, China's so-called O2O (life services) a large part is the United States now hottest the on-demand economy (on-demand economics), is typically represented by Uber and rental areas in the field of Airbnb.

　　The rise of on-demand economy

　　"Queen of the Internet" in 2015 report on Internet trends, Mary Meeker, the reference to "on-demand express service as a new way of life by young people". On-demand economy there are two typical features: 1) on mobile Internet; 2) rapid provision of goods and services on demand.

　　O2O startups are trying to combine Smartphone and freelancers, there has been a spectacular show called Uber For Everything: running errands and distribution service-Instacart, Postmates, Shyp, catering food service Caviar, DoorDash, Munchery, Sprig, Eatwith and the Feastly, Washio door-to-door dry cleaning services, on-site beauty service Glam Squad, domestic service Handy, Canary, etc.

　　On-demand is the most important factor in promoting economic increase of freelancers. The new lifestyle of the younger generation, began to influence technological and industry changes. Compared to the older generation, the younger generation for change more comfortable, more creatively, and pursue their own unique value, like flexible working. In the United States particularly, according to Mary Meeker, United States 44% people between the ages of 21 and 33 years, Millennials (young people below 35 years old), 38% people want to freelance, 32% people believe in their future work would be flexible and flexible 2015 United States freelancers have reached 53 million, accounting for 34% of the total labor force.

　　Freelancers are adequate enough premise, Smartphones have accelerated the rise of on-demand economy. Combination of mobile Internet and services, affect the catering, accommodation, travel, medical care, education, entertainment, and every aspect of life. Mobile phone APP, users can make individual demands; O2O startups can respond quickly, greatly reducing transaction time and costs. Mary Meeker pointed out that in 2015, United States 64% Internet users use Smartphone Internet 87% smartphones around day and night not far from young Internet users. In New York, by needed economic developed area, many white-collar has had Shang has fairy tale in Prince, and Princess like of happiness life: work Hou, click intelligent phone Shang of APP, find private driver sent home; home has, also just click APP, appointment fast sent meal service; House mess has, on called door domestic service; relax about, to a door beauty beauty methyl; if sick, doctor also can call.

　　Cognitive surplus so that more people willing to participate in an on-demand economy. Densely populated cities in the field, lack of trust between man and man, it is easy to feel lonely. On-demand economy from traditional single people receive information free, people are born some share and create demand. Under the 8-hour working day, get rid of sleeping time, we will have 8 hours of free time. Today a large number of highly educated people, we can use that time, creating enormous social value via the Internet.

　　In addition, gradually differentiated into two types of people in modern society, one is the people who have money but no time, and the other is people who have time but no money. On-demand to become both effective ways to interact with the crowd.

　　On-demand economy reshaping the labor way

　　Use of mobile Internet technology, improves the utilization of idle labour and services on demand. Popular economy on demand is the main reason, no Office, no full-time employees, through a variety of forms part of demands and link up with other people free. On-demand mode, the United States more and more start-up companies hiring large numbers of contract workers to cut long-term budget.

　　Different from the Chinese laborer, in the United States contract workers is a neutral term. United States contractors and regular employees are the biggest differences between without any benefits, pay by the hour. Contract full-time and temporary workers divided into two, contractors in on-demand mode belongs to the second type of temporary workers.

　　O2O startups, based on the project you need to select a contractor: 1) flexible, on-demand services; 2) no guaranteed minimum wage or paid labour and social insurance. Means that companies more flexibility in the budget, especially in the recent United States case of sharp rise in health insurance, the employment contract is an efficient way.

　　As an employee, choose contractors include: 1) compared to similar types of temporary income higher; 2) contractors greater flexibility in terms of time; 3) job cost is low, replace the work challenging and fresh, continuously learning new skills.

　　On-demand is the core of the economy using a variety of methods, including remodeling to reduce transaction costs. But contractors also have many disadvantages, on July 31, the United States domestic O2O originator Homejoy officially closed. On-demand models is questioned by many investors, the media and the people at home and abroad.

　　Homejoy was known as the Silicon Valley Darling, its co-founder Adora Cheung stated that the close mainly due to 4 lawsuits, contract costs led to the debt crisis in Homejoy. Analysis of the reasons behind it, may be:

　　Startups to contractors that need the risk onto individuals. For regular workers, companies must withhold income taxes, pay 7.5% social security and Medicare taxes, and pay unemployment tax and for contract workers, organizations with no guaranteed minimum wage or paid labour and social insurance, contractors to protect ourselves. In order to cut costs while also minimizing training, management, and cost. Homejoy housekeepers filed on the grounds that he should become the official company workers and have been erroneously classified as contract workers, requirements and regular workers the same wages, benefits; Uber drivers also complain of being treated as contractors.

　　These on-demand services, the company has grown in San Francisco, began to attract the attention of regulators, beset by a series of political problems. In June, the California Labor Board announced that Uber driver is outworkers, rather than a company employee, escape should take corporate responsibility such as labor and social security. On July 14, United States presidential candidate Hillary Clinton publicly made by the new school in Manhattan, Uber worrying economic mode, on-demand economy released a huge creative potential, but it also raised the issue of workplace protection, fair wages and working hours, a sound vocational training and corporate welfare, and so on, is the right of every employee deserves, and United States remain the key to competitiveness and economic growth.

　　Contractors belonging to on-demand services companies is low, making it hard for these companies to develop into large companies. Homejoy domestic staff can provide services to a Handy, or Lyft Uber driver service. Low barriers to entry in these areas, startups out of retaining contractors of chips would be difficult to develop into a multinational super large sized business.

　　On-demand economy, heavy combination of patterns or trends

　　Venture company are may has found himself began by parties challenge, into low profit, and high promotions cost and labor loss of Whirlpool in the, began attempts to change labor way: door electronic equipment maintenance service business Eden, and grocery Servicers Instacart, and express service business Shyp and generation guest parking car Servicers Luxe, this year summer has began put contractors change into official workers, tries to in play idle resources of flexibility of while guarantees Enterprise full vocational employees of social welfare.

　　First of all, convenience and concessions are important factors affecting the development of on-demand, but the essence and core of the O2O still controlled the quality of service.

　　In contrast, on-demand economy, O2O start-ups get financing limits and operating speed is really amazing, more driven by capital based on the on-demand model of new enterprises are emerging. Overheating of capital has led many companies to be excessive valuations, their income has been growing fast, but no real profit. When money becomes the O2O core competition means, is unlikely to guarantee service quality will also affect the health of industry chain. For Vc, and upgrade of investment risk; for O2O company itself, dependent on price wars, from innovation, and no longer has an advantage compared to conventional enterprise; service supply side, professional people to do professional things for services the demand side, a poor user experience.

　　Second, employment contracts appears to save manpower cost, service quality will actually bring new recruitment and training costs.

　　In the long run, into formal work contract, improve work efficiency and service quality, costs are not necessarily higher.

　　United States O2O startups have replaced permanent workers temporary workers, in order to create their own unified standards of management and service, guarantee the stability of quality of service. Although the light patterns of using contractors better access to capital, and Giants are also more inclined to light mode, because you can quickly achieve higher efficiency. However, the development of lightweight platform startups, gradually changed from light mode to mode, the beauty of Chinese takeout and hunger also began doing logistics. O2O entrepreneurship degree is a combination of the future trend. Upgrade Baidu or online music competition will

Billions of online education market is crowded ice fire who will survive

　　"The Internet +", driven by online education has made a rapid development, capital of this area are very enthusiastic. Online education fields also attracted major Internet giant concerns. Baidu, Alibaba group, Tencent and 360 Internet giants through online education O2O capital operation mode to test the waters.

　　Z-group private through research reports, from 2015 since the beginning of online education have taken place with hundreds of incidents of financing, is expected to total nearly $ 1 billion of financing, in which language, career and most fiery K12 education is an investment in three directions. Statistics show, China's Internet education market in 2014 has amounted to 84.1 billion yuan, is expected in 2015 or over 170 billion yuan hypothetical future Internet penetration rate of 50% of education, from 0-18 of this stage will be the birth of 300 billion market size, blue sea.

　　In addition, in 2015, the first half of this bull market, online education stocks were crazy speculated in this regard stems from the recent stock market boom, but the deeper reason is due to Board and too little gem online education enterprises, even if capital attaches great importance to education, but not ready. Listed as a share of all the difficulties, the new ban on many Internet education companies preferred. With the North, but Hua Bo education, China education teaches media and education quality Langton the continuous tone, the new ban has become the best entrance of the Internet education company.

　　In fact, however, online education has become ice-fire situation. Capital on the one hand most of all ages stand out in the industry's education platform, on the startups and some do not have the capital to support online education platform is in a dilemma.

　　Fire and ice two days of online education, who will survive?

　　Research firm CB Insights announced 2015 global online education Q2 Quarterly report, report, 2015 Q2 stage, nearly 80 global investment case, investment was about $ 765 million. Seen from the overall trend, education investment is declining, capital favor late in the project as a whole.

　　"Question bank" founder Wu Xingyu also spoke during an interview with the investment community, investors investing in online education business, or investing in start-ups, or b investment after the turn. In this regard, lanchi venture investment Director Cao Wei said this is because the industry itself must decide. More VC mechanism, the amount of investment is small relative investment projects more online education will receive excellent company for each industry segment, and later investment is the investment of these enterprises.

　　A few days ago, according to media reports, Ou Peng, founder of Suntech agencies industry early warning: winter of our capital will come in the next three or four quarters, when practitioners in online education does not as it is now so easy to get investment, now should as far as possible to conserve cash in order to survive the coming winter.

　　In this regard, said Wu Xingyu, really excellent enterprises will survive, and the "winter" or not does not matter. He further explained that the "test bank" as a startup company, has entered into the Ministry of education list of procurement systems, cooperation with State education agencies, provides professional services for school teacher's test paper evaluation. For startups, this is a major breakthrough, and the "test" of the core team members are in the traditional education and Internet company has many years of experience, his "question bank" have confidence in the development.

　　David Cao said in an interview with the investment community, 3-5 years in the future, the size of the online education market will reach tens of billions of Yuan. In this process, each segment has an excellent startup stand out. He mentioned that in the investment process, more about team integration, and team members work and the accumulation of experience in the relevant fields. He pointed out that compared with the traditional online education training institutions "online" is an entirely different mode of thinking, it needs education and combined with in-depth and unique understanding of the Internet. "Institute of geeks, for example" David Cao added, "is also doing IT training, but it's traditional offline and online IT training is not a concept, it is in a totally different thinking in the Internet. "

　　Newly minted Internet companies to test the waters of "alternative" online education, another piece of the blue ocean?

　　Refer to online education, tend to think of traditional training institutions and Internet "+" 's, as well as teachers, platform, test, three basic elements. Then, looking at the online education market, and education of new Internet companies have started "alternative" online education.

　　Pulling hook two anniversary celebration, pulling hook network CEO Madelung energy component, the company will start by vertical online recruitment platform upgrade to the professional growth of the Internet platform. Launched two years ago, completed nearly 2 million users accumulated, Madelung energy component mentioned pulling hook are not content just to help people change jobs on the Internet, but on the basis of existing business, build a platform to help practitioners on the Internet.

　　On one hand, pull the net to start the content strategy, up from the original content help Internet professionals access to valuable career and industry information. The other hand, its team building training, workplace skills training, proper training, and so on. This vocational training "online mode" are essentially a "online education" attempt.

　　Compared with the vertical recruitment, career growth platform hit the Internet the Internet practitioners improve professional abilities, improve professional skills of core requirements. It makes pulling hook network consists of a single platform for recruitment into recruitment, information, online education of integrated Internet services platform. This will lead to a great deal of liquidity and imagination.

　　Similarly, in August of this year's "Ivy-China Forum", North American student journal founder Lin Guoyu participated in online education session of the Forum, since then, he said in an interview with the investment community, online education is the future direction of the student daily newspaper in North America. Intelligent hardware business a great heat rolling

　　Student journal in North America as an influential study in the student group information platform, has been in the form of new media. However, Lin Guoyu say North America brand and information superiority can be further expanded in the student journal "overseas university course" model of online education.

　　Released after Baidu "homework help" post, Ali launched the "Taobao classmates", Tencent launched a "Tencent class", and now, not just BAT move into online education, emerging Internet companies are also trying to online education. Recruitment company for the Internet and new media "testing the waters" online education, blue Chi's venture capital investment Director Cao Wei said, the education model is easy to understand, but good content is important. If you can provide quality content and paying customers, which is "education online" a valid attempt.

　　Under capital rush, a space full of imagination the concept of online education. However, the investment community's attention, online education is not only a platform that simple. Even through the capital, branding, and marketing advantages, easy access to users of online education platform, registered users can also take this rapid growth, but retain customers still rely on the provision of quality education products. After all, the essence of online education continues to be education. Only truly understand the nature of education, to provide users with quality educational content team can finally break in a crowded market.

7 years 2 product contact Po Wang Jialiang of triumph road

　　Many people may Wang Jialiang and touching the treasure don't know much about this company, the reason is easy to understand: contact treasures overseas far more users than users. Wang Jialiang founded touch technology in Shanghai in 2008, after which a large part of his time engaged in overseas markets now touching the treasure input method is still the main overseas, while the domestic market was hit treasure phone.

　　Origin of science and technology Wang Jialiang has always been an obsession with special people, has been accumulating ever since the notion of starting technical resources. Founded in touch before Bao, Wang Jialiang at Microsoft for more than 3 years work experience, why would Microsoft as a business presence in the early? Wang Jialiang has his reasons: "one is to learn Microsoft's management experience, the second is to find me at Microsoft technology partner. "

　　Until 2007, when the first generation iPhone release, Wang Jialiang feel the time has come to start. After just talking all night with his two partners, Wang Jialiang to determine the direction of their own business: the mobile Internet.

　　Patent storm, contact Po opens the market

　　Touch treasures by virtue of their advanced patent technologies, get the cooperation with many handset vendors, Bao input method pre-installed in new cell phone, touch, touch treasure has good development prospects. Touching the treasure abroad is not easy, when touching the treasure's biggest competitor in a foreign country is a United States listed company NUANCE, it bought almost all input companies, including the most famous T9 input method. So when NUANCE in bid for touching the treasure of rejected cases, their patent law will touch the treasure to the Court.

　　For obtaining financing had just touched the treasure, this is a blow, because if he loses contact treasure will be expelled, together with Sony, HTC and other manufacturers of products will also be banned. "The problem is transit, it now appears that I am very grateful to this case, as is this case has brought a lot of partners. "After 6 months of struggle, touching the treasure finally won a patent lawsuit, and this victory more cell phone manufacturers also have cooperation with touching the treasure of faith.

　　Until today, touching the treasure abroad is also the lead, already has more than 90 patents at home and abroad. VC fissile prequel Neil Shen Xu Xin and other

　　

 

　　Wang Jialiang-2009 MWC innovation award

　　Moving home saw O2O opportunities

　　Wang Jialiang told the business journalists of the State, now touch-Po input method user already has 350 million overseas, while touching the treasure to telephone users has accumulated 200 million domestic. Users sitting on so much resources, plus see roaring O2O scene, Wang Jialiang tempted. O2O Gets the pain point for users and expand the scale of the enterprise, contact Po decided to enter the O2O field.

　　"Does not found touching the treasure at first phone at home is very popular, but, if you are the one of the presenters tulei teachers in touch-Po telephones, so I'm feeling Po telephone coverage is wider?" High-end users in my blog like tulei is not touching the treasure that people care about the phone can save money, but touching the treasure of information search and classification functions, this function fills the function of iPhone mobile phone vacancy.

　　Contact Po telephones has reached 60 million active users in the country, Bao telephone access, if you can touch the O2O service, is undoubtedly significant traffic entrance, entry on this line than to push costs lower. Contact treasure phone already has contacts, dial and yellow pages of life functions to access O2O in the yellow pages business, being a natural outgrowth.

　　Touch treasures O2O, you want to do all the O2O business portal

　　Bao in the industry has always been a subversive, touch, touch-Po input method is. From handset manufacturers to collect completely free pre-installed software costs to rival manufacturers, turned to advertising, touch treasures things have been more advanced.

　　Said Wang Jialiang, high frequency and low frequency strategies, contact Po phone can give O2O company provides a new platform, the telephone entrance to bring more order to the O2O company. Wang Jialiang found in research if O2O platform access paid links, the order lost up to about 90%. Touch treasures telephone access after payment, form a phone--orders-pay-closed-loop, saving the user time to switch back and forth, also increasing stickiness.

　　In addition, the "comparative foreign users like to search habits, domestic users prefer to browse, so contact Po telephone yellow pages list for the user is very much the service entrance. Currently in Bao lives in the yellow pages of the phone must have access to the touch even coffee, spend more than more than 20 thousand bundles, geeks O2O services and open a payment link. The most representative is the coffee, "coffee access contact Po telephone orders rise by 500%, which is the one we expect. "

　　O2O entry businesses strong competitive edge in the domestic market, but can have a direct competitive relationship and touching the treasure is still owned by Tencent micro-business. The latest version of the app has joined the call to this function, slightly before the letter was trying to get through the phone dialer feature, combined with micro-payments, purse function to touch the treasure O2O has brought a number of challenges. But touching Bao O2O mainly dealing with enterprise users, as long as companies have chosen to contact treasure call the platform settled, can make touching the treasure.

　　Touch technology is the 2008 and 2009 business innovation DEMO participating enterprises in CHINA organized by the State, wireless concert in 2009 won the Championship and got the Court judges at the time of investment. 7 years since Wang Jialiang feeling is quite a lot, "difficulties in the process of starting, but the most important thing is persistence. This process is whether making a patent case is back in the Chinese market, are only to get success. "

　　Touch technology has been completed last year about millions of dollars of the c round of funding, other than in the United States technology research and Development Center, touching the treasure in the Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen began to develop its own business, with the driving force of capital, contact Po O2O in the country programme should be very interesting.

Company valuations or exceed 500 million dollars many Science Guy bet

　　Ailongmasike, Tesla and the soul of the Space x, idea wild, a legendary life. Meredith Perry,21 bold abandon power adapter at the age, challenges Wireless charging this "impossible" technique. Not afraid of difficult, Ken studied for, bold idea is common to the two characters, are essential elements for the success. Let us see how Meredith Perry began her journey of wireless magic.

　　Meredith Perry is 26 years old this year hottest startups in Silicon Valley. The ultrasonic Wireless charging products the company is developing uBeam, senior investor Mike Arrington was appraised as "the closest to the magic" technology, Mark Cuban called it "value wireless ideas", without even seeing the product prototype cases, invested in it.

　　What is uBeam?

　　

 

　　Hunt was introduced before the cloud networks uBeam.

　　UBeam ultrasonic wireless power is the essence of. The process is to turn electricity into sound through air ultrasonic receiver on the device is sent to the other side, after receiving voice conversion back to electricity, enabling wireless charging. Now uBeam can transmit energy to 15 feet high.

　　"It is only when one by one the charge allows you to call and walk in the room's wireless power system," Perry said in an interview, "as long as the ultrasonic transmitter range, charging you will have WiFi-like experience."

　　This technique may also bring major changes to equipment design: support tool uBeam can be configured with a thinner battery, continuous charging. Almost no breakthrough battery technology over the past few decades, device manufacturers can only continue through the battery capacity and energy-saving technologies to be improved.

　　According to Perry's idea, if wireless transmission of energy everywhere, and perhaps in the future, we no longer use the line, never has the power adapter. Innovation works six years the end of investments

　　UBeam currently has applied for many patents.

　　Never ever give up

　　Meredith Perry's curiosity, and outstanding ability had appeared in her childhood. Elementary school third grade, her reading glasses with a lighting function. Senior year, invented a robot that can carry wood. Grade five, she developed from her mouth and a dog mouth bacteria to study exactly who's mouth clean.

　　UBeam also comes from one of her whims. When Perry took the laptop charger, suddenly thought of why use this cable to the wireless recharge, which is so out of date. So, had invented the idea of wireless charging.

　　At first, Perry wanted to pass by Spectra energy spectrum wave or risk is too high, or heavily regulated by the Government, either transmission efficiency is too low.

　　How can in case of not touching the object, to create a vibration in the air? finally, she thought of Sonic: every day we come in contact with countless waves, but it has not caused any negative impact on us, is it possible to charge the phone uses sound waves to them?

　　As a professional is Astrobiology, without any background in electrical and mechanical 21-year old student, this is a hard road. As with others, Perry chose to start with Wikipedia. The simplest "supersonic" and "acoustic", then she has to be able to read articles of frontiers of science.

　　In the meantime, many experts deny the idea of her, and tell her why not realize, and what insurmountable technical difficulties. Of course, she also had a brief panic, after which she began her research, through continuous testing and creativity beyond conventional thinking, and finally found the solution.

　　It also taught her to have questioned everything, Perry was invited to do speech at the TED, she says: don't just ask okay, but to ask yourself how to do it.

　　After you confirm the feasibility of wireless charging, the next step is to find financing.

　　At first Perry can't find investors willing to sponsor uBeam, but she is not so blind. "In front of a seed round of financing, I from the list of angel investors, seeking for wireless power investors interested in such things, related companies, including aerospace, hardware startups." The goal of looking for help Perry locked and successfully won funding by the Founders Fund, Yahoo CEO soon Marisa Mayer also gives a positive reply.

　　At the AllThingsD Conference last year, Perry brought uBeam samples obtained the favor of many prominent angel investors, she successfully obtained a $ 10 million series a financing, has financed a total of 13.2 million dollars.

　　Vote for angel investing arm, Andreessen Horowitz, Crunchfund, and Upfront Ventures, Founders Fund, A16Z etc, another Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, Zappos Tony Hsieh, founder, Troy Carter, Shawn Fanning and other angels who were also involved in the investment.

　　

 

　　Meredith Perry wrote in his personal blog: never, never, never give up. If faith in his own ideas, but the idea itself does not contravene the most basic laws of nature, then there is no reason to be negative thoughts before the complete and full practice itself.

　　It is probably Perry in seemingly hopeless situations, cuts through, and spell out a path out of it.

　　At present, uBeam has attracted many large companies. Just think, while drinking coffee in a Starbucks shop, can charge mobile phones, would you be willing to stay in the store? so it is a huge competitive advantage for businesses. Such as Starbucks, and Virgin, and Starwood hotels, Apple, Samsung and other Giants are interested in products that are willing to pay in order monopoly advantage to competitors.

Outside the restaurant settled on their selling market return to nature has

　　Accompanied by take-out O2O rising and rapid development of ups and downs in the market, sold and lakes are also crowded outside, stirring. Hungry, American takeout, Baidu take-away food, take-out reputation (formerly Amoy), home dining, schools are now rising, setting off a bloody sold and Lakes outside. While the world of kungfu spawned a catch under nature, various factions have their own advantages. Is the United States, such as missions, hungry "Big Mac" changongzhegui, is still Baidu take-out and reputation of take-out food, a rising star on top, or deep ploughing services home food will have the last laugh? it only time will tell, however, with the industry to develop in depth, take-out food more diverse changes.

　　Restaurant take-out markets three positions

　　As Jin Yong said: wherever there are Lakes. Take-out Lake users are significant. So before you comment on strike forced to sell under existing market conditions, mainly divided into services for students outside the campus sells, services of white-collar business sells and services sold outside the family community. Three different market segments corresponding to three different user groups, market characteristics and user habits are different, then the major takeaways platform strategy is focused. In those years COO of Ali how to change China

　　Relative for, students user consumption capacity low, so easy was red subsidies, promotions offers attract, compared easy for market penetration, guest price in 20 Yuan around, this is hungry has you and beauty mission focus development of market; white-collar user on sent meal time is sensitive, has must of consumption capacity, guest price in 40 Yuan around, but penetration difficulty has improve, belongs to Baidu outside sold and reputation outside sold main captured of market; and family user has more high of consumption force, on price sensitive degrees lower, guest price in 100 Yuan around, And more emphasis on service quality and service experience, so to win the home user market recognition difficult, home food will focus on this area.

　　The gate of swords

　　OK! says over takeout market user groups feature, we can take a look at the major delivery platform through the madness of financing and after the burn, and what has not changed. At first sight, subsidies are still in, but has been greatly reduced, but competition between platforms has risen to another dimension, that is fine to segment operation and the advantages of deep mining.

　　1, Lake enemy was hungry and beautiful round out hating kill

　　Current Lake big hungry is killed with the group is hatred, and bayonet. Financing rate and quantity, than opening up the city, than the daily order volume, than cash subsidies, than fight ability ... ... Ranged in size. No way, such a big market, just two buddies took the students and white-collar market, the ways half a catty of 82, difficult race, anyone who did not die, only capital transfusion, pushed by team Wolf spirits, once public opinion data fraud scandals and rumours of capital chain tension.

　　For the hungry and the United States, price around 20 students in marketing, users are very price-sensitive. Especially in close competition State, low-end users have become accustomed to smart smart to take advantage, loyalty is very low, would only put the competition into a two-die situation. Good news is, through subsidies to develop user habits. From April to August, sold outside the Group's average daily order volume increased from 2 million to 3 million. Recently, the hungry also announced the opening of its online distribution platforms, the main third-party distribution. From the most recent trends, both subsidies are significantly reduced, a few bucks can have 20 days of delivery are passed, subsidies now only a distribution fee, the market also rationalized, will become the core competition of both quality and service.

　　2, Baidu and backed by the local reputation of famous door dad

　　Baidu sold outside the takeaway and Word of mouth (formerly Amoy) is an online takeaway market of young, started late but directly led by the Giants, and won huge sums of money in support. Baidu pulled out 20 billion O2O market, takeout is a very important part of the Ali you will take out 6 billion to develop word of mouth network, and dig into them, betting the ambitions of local living services does not die. Relative to the hungry and the United States, they focus more on white-collar business market, though not enough to compare with hungry and beautiful round, but separatist party arena is still there.

　　In mode aspects, Baidu outside sold main is online Shang platform audit line Xia merchant qualification, for merchant provides line Shang show platform, user Xia single Hou by Baidu Knight bear cooperation merchant of outside sold logistics distribution, is responsible for line Xia of take meal, and distribution link, guarantee experience; reputation outside sold is main for user provides shortcut of points meal and paid service, through provides outside sold and order two big function, achieved outside sold delivered and to shop consumption two big different needs. In contrast, Baidu traffic advantages in each gate is unique, this may prove to be the company sold out to advance an important impetus for the road, but Baidu take-out food to takeaway or city distribution is unknown.

　　3, home cuisine is positioned in the high-end power good

　　Home Dining it is called a takeout area of another model, is the highest because of its focus on price and market penetration difficult community family, and adhere to the principle of no subsidies do not burn, for middle and high-end customers with high-quality food and service to open up Xinjiang soil, it is remarkable.

　　According to Analysys data, a think-tank survey home, dining in 2015 2nd Community Quarterly takeout orders 17.29% per cent share of the market, ranking first, second place is Baidu takeout, 11.11% per cent. With the "Southern Emperor" masters of light to release stable and good "and Yang means" martial art is different in essence. In development mode, home food will push through players, high-end restaurants move in the line to line, and in collaboration with brands and chain businesses. Home dining is on the user experience puts in enough effort, bringing the rate of receipt of their order to 100%; from each link in the fine operation, and create detailed experience. And partners to launch personalized lunch box, in the process taking into account the different dishes of temperature difference matching the requirements of distribution equipment, the degree of positive.

　　In addition, in order to guarantee the quality of service, home food will choose its own logistics team, through integrated management, on the premise of on time, on time, further improve the customer experience. But due to the heavy mode requires deep, so often taken step by step strategies in marketing, home dining to currently only covers Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou and other 10 cities one or two lines, but has great potential for future development.

　　Strike force completed a circle, I do not know whether some new flavors. Online takeout O2O regardless of how the competitive landscape of the market evolution, regardless of the target user groups and market segments, foreign selling of huge needs of users is not going to change. Price war in market development early Shi is foster user and expanded market scale of effective weapons, but once market became mature zhihou, on should return to commercial of nature up--that is insisted with himself of differences of positioning and service quality with user and businesses formed stable of trust relationship, constantly strengthened itself differences of of brand image, real heart to put market do through, put user service good, to build belongs to himself of brand.
