forcing merchants to choose one of the two, they can only choose their own platforms, which is monopolistic behavior. After Ali, the anti-monopoly knife was opened to Meituan. In fact, earlier cases of choosing one of the two platforms of Meituan have occurred repeatedly, and there have been cases of punishment for Meituan in various places, but Meituan has never corrected the relevant practices. Some merchants said that the current US group will not say it clearly? Choose between two? Through other means, such as strategic cooperation or other cooperation agreements, the purpose is to let merchants choose Meituan as a platform. Once merchants choose other take-away platforms, Meituan will cancel the traffic of merchants' stores on the platform, or even directly remove them.
Not only is it a choice, Meituan has continuously increased the commission of merchants through its leading market position. Earlier, a restaurant association in a certain place criticized that Meituan's percentage of merchants was too high, which seriously hurt the interests of merchants. But for Meituan, it doesn't care about these, because it has occupied more market share. If the merchants don't choose Meituan platform, it may cause great losses.
It is precisely because of this that Meituan takes a fancy to this point. By taking advantage of its own scale, it constantly deducts and squeezes merchants, not only monopolizing their online trading share, but also raising commissions and increasing their profits. It is also very reasonable for the supervision unit to investigate it this time, and I hope it can also be severely punished.
