1. Today’s headlines

Douyin Waimai terminated its GMV target of 100 billion yuan, and Express delivery became a major focus

According to news on June 10, Douyin’s food delivery business has given up its goal of reaching 100 billion yuan in GMV (total transaction value) this year, and GMV is no longer the most important indicator for the team in the second half of the year. The current focus of the business has shifted to: try to run through the business process in more ways. One of the important directions is to borrow more local life service providers for distribution in addition to third-party distribution platforms such as SF Express and Dada. Previously, the cooperation between Douyin and service providers only stayed in the expansion of store business. A person close to Douyin Life Services revealed that the adjustment was due to the fact that business progress in the first half of the year fell short of expectations. Relevant information shows that if Douyin Waimai is to fulfill its annual target, the GMV in the second half of the year must exceed at least 90 billion yuan, which is a very difficult task.
