Why did Ding Dong quit Sichuan and Chongqing to buy food?

Ding Dong's withdrawal from Sichuan and Chongqing is mainly due to the malicious competition of some platforms.

According to reports, Ding Dong's grocery shopping has withdrawn from many cities, mainly because some platforms will have malicious competition. Among them, buying more food and choosing the best group has become one of the softwares that contemporary young people especially like to use.

The so-called Ding-Dong grocery shopping is not particularly influential, which leads to malicious competition on some platforms, resulting in Ding-Dong grocery shopping not getting the lowest price, and will gradually be forgotten by others. Among them, there were ten clubs as early as before, which is also a software that many people especially like to use, but now it is found that this software has also been removed from the shelves.

When major e-commerce platforms sell some fruits and vegetables in supermarkets, it is for the convenience of many people without going directly to the supermarket outside.

You can place an order directly on the mobile phone, and the price of placing an order from the mobile phone will be much cheaper than buying it in the supermarket. However, it is found that the fruits and vegetables sold on many platforms are not particularly fresh, and most of them are short of weight, which also makes many consumers feel particularly headache.
