Meituan and Hungry are the mainstream take-away catering service platforms at present. Both of them occupy a part of the market share, but it seems that there will often be some unpleasantness between the two companies, and perhaps they can't escape the certain theory that their peers are enemies. According to relevant reports, the Intermediate People's Court of Huai 'an recently pronounced a judgment on a case of unfair competition between Meituan and Hungry, and ordered Meituan to compensate Hungry for 352,111 yuan. So what happened? Why is there such a judgment? Even many people say that there have been similar judgments before. Let's analyze them together.

What happened

According to the relevant litigation documents, the cause of the incident was that the Meituan set some conditions, such as raising the rate and unreasonable trading conditions, which hindered the free choice of merchants, so in the end, many merchants could not choose their partners freely from the Meituan, which led to the loss of some potential users and orders. Everyone knows that the profit of the take-away platform mainly comes from the check-in of merchants, and then draws a share from each order, and then relies on the data and traffic of the platform and the delivery service to realize the transaction between customers and merchants. Then the behavior of the US Mission is tantamount to hindering the cooperation between merchants and Hungry, so it violates the relevant provisions of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law and is an infringement case of unfair competition.

what are the similar sentences?

In fact, earlier, a case of unfair competition between Hungry and Meituan was tried in Jinhua Intermediate People's Court, Zhejiang Province. In the end, Meituan also lost the case. What happened was that Meituan's platform pushed some information to many cooperative merchants, and some of the information slandered Hungry's platform, which led many merchants to stop choosing to cooperate with Hungry, and vilified the reputation of Hungry's platform, which constituted unfair competition. After Zhejiang Jinhua Intermediate People's Court found out the reason, the final judgment was that the US Mission compensated the hungry for 1 million yuan.

Personal opinion

If only from this judgment, I personally support the court's findings and punishment measures. After all, there are many illegal acts in Meituan. In the process of market share competition, in order to occupy a certain source of customers, we must improve the quality of service, reduce the cost of delivery, and make it more convenient for everyone to order takeout. This is what consumers expect. Instead of taking some improper actions, taking deductions or abusing the law through legal means to restrict businesses. In the end, I believe that this time it has also brought a great lesson to the US Mission, which not only compensated a certain amount, but also greatly damaged its reputation.
