On July 29, 2020, when users used Meituan, they found that on the payment page, Meituan's monthly payment, WeChat payment and Apple payment could all be selected, but Alipay, which has a huge number of users, disappeared.

Alipay is a third-party payment platform owned by Ali, and the competitor of Meituan Takeaway is also invested by Ali. In the face of doubts, the US Mission countered the netizen for the first time: In fact, the main body of this article was changed to Hungry, which is as appropriate as WeChat payment.

Inexplicably hungry, I immediately took photos as evidence, and they have always supported WeChat payment. In the screenshot, I also ordered a "chicken and duck for two" for my opponent, which is ironic. However, although the US delegation is more embarrassed about Ali, the opinions of netizens have to be listened to. Sure enough, Alipay mysteriously returned to the Meituan payment page two days later, but it was hidden in the folding area, and Meituan's monthly payment occupied the most conspicuous C position.

This is not the first time that Meituan canceled Alipay payment. On 20 16 and 20 18, users reported that Meituan could not use Alipay for a short time when ordering food. Unlike WeChat payment, Alipay payment port is always at the bottom of the page or folded.

In fact, there was a period of "gratitude and kindness" between Meituan and Ali, from temptation to break. According to media reports, in the early days of Meituan's development, most of the financing started at 20 1 1 was related to Alibaba. In particular, Ali 20 1 1 invested in the B round of the US Mission, which enabled the US Mission to survive in the "Thousand Regiments War" and spend the most difficult time.

The turning point occurred in the merger of 20 15 meituan and public comment. At that time, the comment of the US Mission, which was in the gap between "Ali Department" and "Tencent Department", hoped to get investment from both sides at the same time, but Ali chose to refuse and withdraw from the US Mission.

With Tencent's large investment of 65.438 billion US dollars, Meituan began to cooperate with Tencent. Ali's backhand acquisition of $9.5 billion was hungry, and he vigorously supported it and launched a "word of mouth" war to seize market share.
