Under The Failure Of Fresh Electricity Providers, Residents In Some Epidemic Areas Buy Food With Indigenous Methods.

The mother of Zheng Min (alias) has stayed at home for at least a month. On the first day of the lunar new year, the old man received a call from Zheng Min and was told that the new crown virus was rampant.

The Zheng Min family lived in Yichang, Hubei. The western Hubei town has a permanent population of 4 million 135 thousand and 900 in 2018, ranking sixth in Hubei, ranking in Wuhan (11 million 81 thousand), Huanggang (6 million 330 thousand), Xiangyang (5 million 669 thousand), Jingzhou (5 million 590 thousand and 200) and Xiaogan (4 million 920 thousand). However, Yichang's GDP in 2018 (406 billion 418 million) ranked third in the whole province, closely following Wuhan (1 trillion and 484 billion 729 million) and Xiangyang (430 billion 979 million).

Although located in Western Hubei and 322 kilometers away from Wuhan, the whole city of Yichang inevitably pressed the "pause key" after the outbreak of the epidemic: traffic in the city was cut off from external traffic, and commercial establishments were also suspended. Between the different districts of the city, it gradually became an isolated island in the urban isolated island: initially, the residential areas of the confirmed cases were strictly closed until all the urban districts were closed.

After the closure, problems began to emerge. "At the beginning of February, I called my mother and heard her say that the vegetables were finished. She wanted to go out to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, but this time it was the outbreak of the virus. I dissuaded." Zheng Min told the twenty-first Century economic news reporter, "but how to deliver food to her is still hard to deal with."

In fact, in twenty-first Century, the economic news reporter found that because of the hot box, fresh food, daily delicious, Ding Dong buy vegetables, the United States group buying vegetables, Jingdong and other fresh electricity providers or comprehensive community shopping platform, in such a Hubei economy ranked third of the city is in a state of failure. Here, the citizens are still using the way of making phone calls and adding WeChat group Solitaire to put forward their own buying needs.

A large number of other counties and cities in Hubei are even more sophisticated. Local businessmen constitute the main distribution army of residents in the epidemic area. The residents who are highly regarded by the residents as the fresh electric business enterprises represented by the emerging economic forces are absent from the epidemic areas.

Local way to buy vegetables

In February 3rd, Yichang Xiling District, high tech Zone and Yiling District issued a circular respectively, requiring the implementation of closed management in all districts. Until the press release, there was no lifting of the ban.

In Yichang, a local vegetable distribution WeChat group has nearly 200 people. The WeChat group is dominated by a local vegetable business in Yichang. On the day of the "closing of the residential area", Zheng Min, who was eager to buy vegetables for his mother, was concerned about the purchase of vegetables. At that time, the group was in disorder.

"At the beginning, it was a text Solitaire, and every family wrote their own demand for food, and at the end of the last message, there were dozens of messages in just a half hour. After that, a EXCEL form was popped up in the group, which required to fill in the form again." Zheng Min reluctantly said, "a group of food purchase links appeared in the group within a day, and buyers could input their needs, names, telephone and other information, and then send them to the district by the business."

But the WeChat group is unable to respond to Zheng Min's needs. Zheng Min told the twenty-first Century business news reporter that she made a call to the vegetable contact in the group, and the contact told her that the WeChat group was built in accordance with the independent plot, only to accept the distribution of the household in the District, but not to the other retail investors.

In February 5th, Zheng Min found that Yichang's large supermarket chains, China World Trade Center supermarkets and Beishan supermarkets, began to publicize 50 yuan or 100 yuan vegetable packages, and can be distributed to the door of the community by staff. Zheng Min remembered that there was a supermarket in China World Trade Center near her mother's house for 5 minutes. It was only 10 minutes' walk from the nearest Beishan supermarket.

"All morning, the phone has been in no answer or busy tone." Zheng Min told reporters on twenty-first Century economic report.

Fortunately, because of work reasons, Zheng Min happened to know some senior executives in supermarkets. After the failure of normal channel communication, Zheng Min had to start using private relations. On the afternoon of 5, one day, the local supermarket, the head of China World Trade Center and Beishan supermarket, began to contact Zheng Min.

"A supermarket says that it needs to wait until second days after the new supermarket vegetables are contacted again, and the other one says the store's hands are not enough enough for delivery to my mother." Zheng Min said, "the person in charge of this shop also suggested that my mother sweep the two-dimensional code and order vegetables at the gate of the community, but the elderly would not operate at all."

At present, when Zheng Min's mother needs to buy vegetables, she can only contact her Beishan supermarket near her mother's home by telephone. However, compared with other residents in the epidemic areas, Zheng Min has at least been able to buy vegetables in normal channels.

"There is no large supermarket within 1 kilometers around our community. There is only a small supermarket in the community, and there are no vegetables and fresh products. It is difficult to meet the daily needs of the residents." in February 19th, Ms. Chen, community director of the Bi Cui Yuan District in Wu Jia Gang District, Yichang, told the business reporter in twenty-first Century, "our community workers can only go shopping in the big supermarkets and bring them back. And then give it to the residents. "

In addition to inconvenient, it is even more shocking, is the individual district property or staff sitting price. "After our residential area is closed, the group purchase dishes will not be sent in, and then the property will sell itself and double the sale." In February 23rd, a resident in Xiaogan's Golden Autumn Garden Estate complained to reporters in twenty-first Century. According to a small ticket provided to reporters by the residents, a bottle of Head and Shoulders shampoo cost as high as 99 yuan. "A few days ago, there was a Chinese cabbage with 37 yuan. It was very funny and funny to look at the Tucao every day."

Another resident in Wuhan, Beijing, told reporters that his parents lived in the three street of Xinzhou District in Wuhan, and at the junction of two communities. "Without property, they are all households, and they go to the neighborhood committees in their normal work. Now they have become the savages in the middle of the community.

After the closure, how to buy vegetables has become a big problem. "My parents want to buy food is really too difficult, last time is borrowed a familiar community staff's card, only then entered the vegetable market to buy the order, after that did not know how to do." The source said.

Fresh electricity supplier failure

At present, the development of fresh electric business and community electric business is in full swing. In fact, as a mobile shopping platform, the existence of fresh electricity providers can effectively meet the needs of all parties without meeting them. In the epidemic area, however, they failed to brush.

In twenty-first Century, the economic news reporter test found that whether it was through the US group to buy vegetables, the local shopping platform such as Jingdong came home, or the daily fresh food platform such as daily delicious, Ding Ding bought vegetables, it was unable to meet the purchase demand in Yichang urban area.

Daily excellent and fresh official customer service told reporters that the local non fruit and vegetable products in Yichang could be shipped in 72 hours, and the distribution time was affected by the epidemic. Fruits and vegetables are not available because of the longer delivery time. "The order of excellent supermarket is all in the form of express delivery." The customer service staff said, "because the current delivery time is longer, it can not guarantee the freshness of the goods, so it can not be supplied."

Ding Dong said that there are no distribution points and stores in Hubei province.

As for the fruit and vegetable hurdle of the US group, there are only a few fruit merchants online, and there are no shops selling vegetables. Jingdong arrived at a large number of vegetable convenience stores or chain supermarkets, also showed "rest".

"At present, the US group buys vegetables only on several cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Wuhan. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the US group has bought vegetables to fully maintain the normal operation of the 22 Wuhan sites." Around the difficult topic of buying vegetables, a US delegation told the twenty-first Century business reporter. However, she also admitted to reporters that at present, the US group buys vegetables other than Wuhan, but not in other Hubei cities.

According to Jingdong, the coverage of Hubei province is mainly in Wuhan. In the Wuhan area, some of the supermarkets, including Yong Wang, operate normally on the Jingdong platform, but the manpower is relatively tight. As for Hubei's other cities on the platform of business super operation related issues, Jingdong did not give a positive answer.

Compared with the hot fresh food business platform, most of the residents in this epidemic area are supplied by local businesses in the city. Compared with the bustle in the initial closed area, nowadays, most of Zheng Min's daily life needs to be purchased by the local supermarket's Beishan supermarket's small program, and daily buying dragon dishes.

But in her view, these local supermarkets have to deliver goods and distribute them. "It's really too hard. If we can join the power of fresh electronic business platform, we should play a significant role in improving the local material supply. "
