Make up for shortcomings and strengthen norms – multi-departments speed up the "umbrella company" for workers in new formats

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, May 5?Topic: Making up for shortcomings and strengthening norms – multi-departments accelerate the support of "umbrella companies" for new business workers

Xinhua News Agency reporters Jiang Lin and Liu Weiwei

During the May Day holiday, Qi Jianzhong, a Meituan delivery rider in Nanjing, was both busy and down-to-earth. "With occupational injury protection, I feel much more at ease. Otherwise, I really don’t know who to call if I get injured."

In December 2023, Qi Jianzhong accidentally fell and broke his bone while delivering food. With the help of Meituan staff, he used his mobile phone to declare occupational injury protection, and about 1,000 yuan of medical expenses were reimbursed 875 yuan. After the disability identification, at the end of January 2024, he received a one-time disability subsidy of 41,900 yuan issued by the human resources and social security department.

Qi Jianzhong told reporters that he has been a rider for six years, and his income is good and his time is flexible. But bumps are inevitable in the rush, especially in bad weather, and his family always worries. "Occupational injury protection is like adding a layer of’protective net ‘, so after four months of recuperation and recovery, I came back to deliver food."

The occupational injury insurance that Qi Jianzhong said is a new type of work-related injury insurance created by the state for workers in new employment forms. The platform enterprise pays the fee, and the individual employed person does not pay the fee. The scope and circumstances of its protection, the standard and level of treatment, are basically consistent with work-related injury insurance.

Since July 2022, the new employment form of occupational injury protection for employed persons has been piloted in 7 platform enterprises including Meituan, Ele.me, Flash, Lalamove, and Cao Cao Travel in 7 provinces and cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Guangdong. As of the end of March 2024, 8.017 million people have been included in the scope of protection.

"Occupational injury protection effectively protects the rights and interests of employees in the new employment form, especially the basic living standards guarantee function of major casualty accidents. This system also disperses the business risks of platform enterprises and helps the platform economy develop in a standardized and healthy way," said Zheng Xuanbo, director of the work injury insurance department of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security.

Zheng Xuanbo introduced that how to participate in social insurance for the emerging group of new employment forms, the pilot has solved the problem and accumulated valuable experience. The next step will be to summarize experience and study to expand the scope of implementation.

The reporter noticed that on the website of the national social insurance public service platform, a special occupational injury protection service section has been set up, which shows that the insurance information, treatment payment application acceptance, occupational injury confirmation, treatment distribution, processing progress and other inquiry services are being practiced run.

Including delivery riders, instant delivery staff, online car drivers, such as the new employment form of workers, there are 84 million people.

"In response to the shortcomings such as high occupational risks, high labor intensity and low level of security faced by this group, in recent years, we have worked with relevant departments to continuously improve the system and mechanism, innovate work methods, strengthen service security, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of workers in new employment forms," said Li Xinwang, director of the labor relations department of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security.

From the eight departments jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Safeguarding the Labor Protection Rights and Interests of Workers in New Employment Forms", to the introduction of special project rights protection policies for key groups such as takeout workers and online car-hailing drivers, and the reasonable definition of labor protection responsibilities of enterprises, to the February 2024 issue of "Guidelines for the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Workers in New Employment Forms of Rest and Labor Remuneration", "Guidelines for the Publicity of Labor Rules for Workers in New Employment Forms" and "Guidelines for the Protection of Workers’ Rights and Interests of Workers in New Employment Forms"… Relevant departments have accelerated the support of "umbrella companies" for workers in new

"We guide platform companies and their employment partners to sign employment contracts and written agreements with workers, reasonably determine labor compensation, scientifically arrange working hours, formulate and revise platform labor rules such as order distribution and compensation payment in accordance with laws and regulations, and establish an internal labor dispute resolution mechanism," Li Xinwang said.

In response to the outstanding problems faced by workers in the new employment form of "overtime work", the relevant guidelines have made specific and detailed guidance for enterprises to scientifically determine the workload and labor intensity, and at the same time include workers in the new employment form into the minimum wage guarantee. In terms of optimizing insurance participation services, except for some megacities, all localities have opened the channels for flexible employment personnel to participate in employee pension insurance at the place of employment.

What should I do if there is a dispute between workers and platforms over compensation, and how can I protect my rights?

By strengthening the linkage with people’s mediation and judicial mediation, relevant departments have launched one-stop joint mediation services for labor disputes in new employment forms such as labor compensation, rest time, and occupational injury. At the same time, they have continuously improved the construction of online mediation platforms, optimized the mediation process and time limit, and helped both parties reach a mediation agreement voluntarily on the basis of mutual understanding and accommodation.

"The parties can also apply for arbitration review or judicial confirmation of the mediation agreement, and after review or confirmation, they can apply for the court to enforce it. At present, there are nearly 1,000 such mediation organizations across the country, and we will continue to promote it," Li Xinwang said.

Geely Xingyue L will become the world’s first L4 AVP mass-produced fuel vehicle with 1km parking problem.

Xingyue L relies on the (cross-domain) centralized electrical functional architecture first carried by the "CMA Super Matrix" architecture, and realizes cross-domain high-speed calculation and highly integrated collaborative management of functional domains such as power control, intelligent driving control, chassis control and cloud collaboration with the help of the vehicle core super domain controller, making the automatic driving control management more centralized, agile, reliable and safer!

It is reported that the Xingyue L 5G-AVP 1km unmanned parking system is equipped with the world’s first super-domain controller of Texas Instruments and a super-sensing system consisting of 24 sensors covering the whole vehicle, which can calculate the dynamic and static obstacles such as roads, pedestrians, road signs and roadblocks online, and the intelligence exceeds the industry models, bringing users a safe, reliable, worry-free and convenient parking experience. As the first automobile enterprise in the industry to mass-produce this high-level autonomous driving technology, Geely Automobile has demonstrated its strong technical strength.

Demonstrate the powerful strength of technology Geely 4.0 Geely 5G-AVP will realize parking freedom.

Driving and parking in the city has always been a difficult problem. With the continuous increase of car ownership, "difficulty in parking and picking up cars" has become the second biggest pain point after "traffic jam". In order to solve this problem, most car companies are working on automatic parking technology. From the initial ultrasonic radar, reversing image assisted parking, to APA automatic parking using multiple sensors, and then to RPA remote parking technology carried by some new models. As the spokesperson of the powerful strength and the latest technology of Geely 4.0, Xingyue L, combined with the development of the previous stages, has surpassed RPA remote parking technology in its automatic parking technology. At present, it has reached the unmanned parking technology of 5G-AVP 1km, and will explore to enter the parking service stage of AVP intelligent cloud map in the future.

The world’s first 5G-AVP 1km unmanned parking technology, Xingyue L, can currently complete powerful functions such as 100% unmanned driving, obstacle avoidance, intelligent parking space search, autonomous parking and parking within 200 meters round-trip distance through vehicle self-learning. In scenes with fixed parking spaces such as home and office, the vehicle only needs to complete route learning once, and the user can get off the bus in advance, and the vehicle can find the parking space independently to complete parking. When picking up the car, the mobile phone also calls the vehicle to automatically drive to the user’s location, which completely liberates the user from repeated parking.

According to Geely technicians, Xingyue L’s 5G-AVP 1km unmanned parking technology will realize full-scene parking in the underground parking lot, and vehicles will automatically travel to any location. When the user goes out to pick up the car, he can remotely call Xingyue L by tAPPing the mobile phone app, and the car can automatically start, park out and drive to the set pick-up point. When parking after work, the driver can get off early when driving within the automatic parking map. Xingyue L will automatically drive and search for parking spaces, avoid obstacles on the way, and lock the parking spaces, which can realize automatic parking of different parking spaces such as vertical and parallel. After the parking is successful, Xingyue L will automatically take photos and accept the inspection of users. This technology does not need the driver’s participation in the whole process, which truly realizes the complete automatic driving, helps users solve the parking problem and greatly facilitates the user’s experience.

Xingyue L 5G-AVP 1km unmanned parking system has 360TOPS+8TOPS overspeed computing power through the high-speed and low-speed fusion algorithm of 24 sensing elements including 12 ultrasonic radars, 5 millimeter-wave radars and 7 high-definition cameras, and can calculate road information and dynamic and static obstacles in real time, and realize L4-class unmanned driving technology in some scenes and working conditions. According to relevant comparative tests, the unmanned parking technology of 5G-AVP 1km of Xingyue L is superior to the new power star model Tesla Model Y in terms of the farthest control distance and parking function, which greatly subverts the aura of "idol" and reshapes the market’s cognition of China brand high-end SUV.

Evolvable Xingyue L with FOTA upgrade will realize L4 AVP driverless technology.

Geely Automobile is one of the first automobile enterprises to obtain the license of intelligent networked automobile test in the Yangtze River Delta. It has accumulated rich technology and experience in the field of automatic driving. It not only took the lead in popularizing L2 intelligent driving assistance system to its vehicles, but also became the first China brand to realize the full-scale mass production of L2 intelligent driving technology. Moreover, the allocation rate and market share of newly-produced L2 intelligent driving vehicles in the industry reached the first place, benefiting the intelligent travel life of millions of users.

In the completely unmanned scene, absolute accurate positioning and low delay are needed to ensure driving safety, which requires high-precision maps to reach centimeter level. In recent years, Geely has comprehensively laid out the field of commercial satellites, consolidating the underground structure of the integration of heaven and earth. With the formation of Geely’s low-orbit satellite layout, the navigation accuracy will be improved to centimeter level, providing systematic positioning services for future high-level intelligent driving. This time, the 5G-AVP 1km unmanned parking technology carried by Xingyue L is an overall improvement of Geely brand parking technology. In addition, with the FOTA upgrade and evolution of the whole vehicle with full functional domain, it is believed that the parking service function of AVP intelligent cloud image will be realized soon.

As the new flagship of SUV under the CMA framework of Geely Automobile, Xingyue L will be the first safe and intelligent fuel vehicle to reach L4 level, breaking the boundary between old and new forces and opening a new stage of intelligent driving, and its subversive strength is increasingly expected. In the future when 5G, sensor technology and infrastructure become more mature, cars will be smarter. Xingyue L, which is homologous to the whole world and can be upgraded and evolved by FOTA, will surely promote the further improvement of driverless technology, and continuously evolve in the direction of automation, bringing more, higher, faster and stronger cutting-edge intelligent technologies to the people, which is bound to detonate the new trend in the mainstream market.

Fuel vehicles and electric vehicles set off a decisive battle: many people call for an extension of the exemption from the purchase tax for new energy vehicles

On April 1, the China Electric Vehicle 100 Forum (2023) was held in Beijing.

As an annual industry event for the new energy automobile industry, this forum brought together guests from various fields such as automobiles, energy, transportation, cities, and communications to discuss in depth the development situation of the global automobile industry, the high-quality development path of new energy vehicles, the development strategy of China’s intelligent connected vehicles, the development trend of the core industrial chain supply chain such as power batteries, the trend of new generation automobile consumption change, the coordinated development strategy of automobiles and energy, and the new transportation energy security system.

Compared with the 100 Forum in previous years, this year’s forum, the guests paid more attention to the topics of new energy vehicle infrastructure building, autonomous driving commercialization landing, and vehicle-road collaboration.

At the same time, many attendees also called for the extension of the new energy vehicle purchase tax exemption policy to stabilize the high-quality development of the industry.

Fuel vehicles and electric vehicles set off a decisive battle

In the past few years, the new energy automobile industry has rapidly heated up and become an important bright color in the process of high-quality development of the automobile industry. The gradual increase in the market penetration rate of new energy vehicles has also brought a significant impact to the traditional fuel vehicle industry.

Recently, influenced by multiple factors, there has been a price chaos in the automotive market, with most fuel vehicle companies cutting prices at an unprecedented rate, causing heated discussions on the whole network.

At the China Electric Vehicle 100 Forum (2023), Ouyang Minggao, vice chairperson of the China Electric Vehicle 100 and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, made a judgment on the current industrial landscape.

He said that the current new energy vehicle market is fully squeezing the fuel vehicle market, and the entire fuel vehicle industry chain is under pressure. The competition between the two has kicked off a decisive battle.

Ouyang Minggao believes that the current new energy vehicle industry is characterized by "rapid growth and lack of profit", while fuel vehicles are "lack of growth and profit". Although the cost of new energy vehicles is still higher than that of fuel vehicles, the brand, influence and premium of new energy vehicles are rising, and the premium of joint venture fuel vehicles is declining. High-quality new energy vehicles can compete with the price of joint venture fuel vehicles.

"The camp of new energy vehicles continues to expand, and you are chasing after me. The competition has entered the stage of positional warfare, and the market has entered the stage of survival," Ouyang Minggao said.

Faced with the close competition between gasoline vehicles and electric vehicles, Mary Warlick, deputy director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), judged that by the mid-2020s, electric vehicles will achieve cost parity with traditional gasoline vehicles.

At the same time, the development of new energy vehicles has also brought a linkage effect to various related industries. Zou Ji, CEO of Energy Foundation (China) and President of China, believes that full electrification is an inevitable choice for high-quality development, pollution reduction and carbon reduction.

"According to the very conservative development goal of electric vehicles, by 2030 our country’s oil dependence is more than 70%, of which 13% can be replaced by electric vehicles. But according to the rapid development of these two years, it may far exceed this proportion. According to the oil price of 110 US dollars/barrel, at least 50 billion US dollars of imported oil expenditure should be saved a year." Zou Ji judged that promoting the full electrification of the automobile industry is not only good for traffic emission reduction and energy security, but also has great economic benefits.

The full marketization of new energy vehicles still faces challenges

Despite the significant growth rate and promising prospects, the current new energy vehicle industry still faces many challenges.

Wan Gang, chairperson of the China Association for Science and Technology, concluded that the comprehensive market-oriented development of domestic new energy vehicles faces the following challenges:

First, the development of comprehensive marketization is uneven and inadequate, and product performance and quality are still difficult to meet consumers’ needs for all-weather and all-scenario use.

Second, the progress of new energy commercial vehicles is slow and the market penetration rate is low.

Third, compared with the rapidly growing market demand for new energy vehicles, the infrastructure building of charging, hydrogen refueling networks, and vehicle-road coordination is still relatively lagging behind.

The fourth is the bottleneck of industrial development, including high prices of basic resources, poor supply chains, and some technical constraints.

Fifth, the bottleneck of industrial technology constraints. Including power battery upgrades, vehicle-grade chip shortcomings, power electronics architecture reconstruction, intelligent operating system research and development, as well as low-carbon development planning, carbon footprint research shortages and other issues.

Therefore, at this forum, Wan Gang suggested that the environmental adaptability, safety, and economy of pure electric vehicles should be continuously improved; basic research such as all-solid-state batteries and new system batteries should be continuously promoted; charging efficiency should be improved to further meet the needs of the whole climate and all scenarios in the market.

Xin Guobin, a member of the Party Group and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, analyzed the changing trend of the new energy automobile industry pattern from an international perspective.

He believes that in the international situation, the rise of anti-globalization and trade protectionism has threatened the stability of the automobile industry chain and supply chain, affecting international exchanges and cooperation. At the same time, domestic automobile consumption has been relatively sluggish this year, and the pressure on the stable operation of the industry has increased.

"The automotive industry has typical international characteristics, and new energy vehicles need cross-regional and cross-industry collaboration. We will continue to adhere to the principles of openness, cooperation and win-win, and create a market-oriented, rule-of-law and international business environment. Strengthen exchanges and cooperation with other countries in the fields of new energy vehicle technology innovation, trade and investment, standards and regulations, and contribute positive forces to the modernization of China’s automotive industry and inject new impetus into the recovery of the world economy," Xin Guobin said.

Focusing on the future of industrial development, Chen Qingquan, an honorary professor at the University of Hong Kong and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, believes that in the second half of the automotive revolution centered on intelligence, special attention should be paid to automotive chips and operating systems.

"The software and hardware systems involved in the future car are not covered by one industry, and should be integrated across borders." Chen Qingquan believes that the second half of the automotive revolution is intelligent, networked and shared, and its main core technologies are automotive chips and operating systems.

Call for Extension of New Energy Vehicle Purchase Tax Exemption

After recognizing the many challenges facing the development of the new energy vehicle industry, a number of industry players called for an extension of the new energy vehicle purchase tax exemption policy at this forum.

Among them, Meng Xia, CEO of Volkswagen passenger car brand China and head of group sales of Volkswagen Group (China), said that despite the short-term slowdown in market demand, Volkswagen is confident in the continued recovery of China’s auto market. In order to promote the sustainable and healthy development of the industry, it is called for extending the purchase tax exemption period for new energy vehicles beyond 2023 and formulating a relatively stable policy framework.

It is reported that at the press conference on the theme of the "Authoritative Department’s Opening" series held by the State Council Information Office on March 1, Vice Minister of Finance Xu Hongcai once again mentioned that new energy vehicles purchased in 2023 will continue to be exempt from vehicle purchase tax.

But in fact, automakers’ calls for continued policy support go beyond that.

Wang Chuanfu, chairperson of BYD, said at the China Electric Vehicle (2023) 100 Forum that the automobile market is changing every day, but the trend of electrification will not be reversed. At present, the timetable for the full electrification of automobiles in our country has been advanced and the process is accelerating. In order to accelerate the modernization of the automobile industry, it is hoped that the purchase tax reduction policy for new energy vehicles will be extended until 2025.

Everyone is watching

This article is from the WeChat official account:Chaos University (ID: hundun-university)According to Li Shanyou’s lecture notes in February 2020, the author: Li Shanyou (founder of Chaos University), the original title: "You attack to the death, but you can’t fight a department of giants? After Wang Xing cut three knives… | Classic Good Lesson", the header picture comes from: Screenshot of "Flowing Golden Years"

Many start-up company owners like to put the phrase "nothing unexpected, only impossible" on the wall, thinking that as long as you have a great dream, you will be able to achieve it.

But we often overlook that starting a business is for survival, not to die in competition. Competition is just a part of entrepreneurship, and there is no need to force yourself to attack the giants head-on unless it is a last resort.

In the competition, how to use the weak to overcome the strong is the first proposition for everyone. So, how to solve the problem?

In fact, God has left a "back door" for entrepreneurs

Take the horizontal axis as the market and the vertical axis as the technology to draw a simpleValue network model:

There is no doubt that incumbent companies often occupy the best technology, the best customers, and stand in the most dazzling value network – this is the mainstream market. The marginal value network composed of edge markets and edge technologies is often ignored by everyone.

Imagine you are a start-up, into such an existing competition landscape, will choose the mainstream value network, or the edge value network?

In real life, the vast majority of entrepreneurs will enter the mainstream value network market because it looks the most fertile and the least risky. But in fact, the emerging marginal value network is the best window of opportunity for entrepreneurs.

To follow or to destroy?

Going back to the value network model just now, if you choose the mainstream value network, you obviously adopt a follow-along strategy, thinking that you are more courageous than the giants of the mainstream market. If you choose the emerging value network, you adopt a strategy of disruptive innovation.

A common saying is that entrepreneurs feel they are more productive and have better values, so they can win by putting their lives on the line to compete with a division of a large company.

However, if you go outside Alibaba and Tencent buildings at 2 a.m., you will find that these giant companies are still shining brightly at night, with amazing combat effectiveness and efficiency.

So, don’t think it’s good to be diligent. Many times, we are very diligent just to cover up our laziness in thinking. As Wang Xing said, most people are willing to do anything to avoid thinking.

What are the differences between the two strategies?

In "The Innovator’s Dilemma," Christensen studied the 20-year history of disk drives and statistically said,If you compete head-on with the giants, the success rate is only 6%. If you are the first to enter an emerging value net and adopt a disruptive innovation competitive strategy, the success rate will be as high as 37%, a six-fold difference.

So we say,The first law of entrepreneurship is better than better.This is the simplest and most direct explanation of the thinking model of dislocation competition.

There is a line in Good Strategy, Bad Strategy: "For a start-up, it’s not that you don’t have a chance. You have to find areas where your strengths and weaknesses are avoided. Make your strengths longer and your weaknesses less important." This is misplaced competition.

Meituan: Specializing in "chicken ribs", leaving the fat for BAT

Meituan did group buying in the early days, when the first giant in the field of e-commerce was Ali. When I studied the Meituan case, I was very shocked that the first consideration of Wang Xing’s entrepreneurship in 2010 was how to compete with Ali.

He has successively proposed two theories of dislocation competition:

Four vertical and three horizontal

Wang Xing said that there are four areas in the Internet: information, communication, entertainment, and business.

In the Web 1.0 search era, there are giants in these fields, such as Baidu in information, Tencent in communication, Shanda in entertainment, and Alibaba in business. Therefore, he must go to the Web 2.0 era to find opportunities.

In the era of Web 2.0 social media, the giants in the information field include Sina Weibo, Renren in communication, and Kaixin001.com in entertainment. Is there any opportunity in business? Therefore, in this field, he made Meituan group buying against Ali, which is the positioning of 2010.

AB classification

In competition, we often have the illusion that the giants stand in front of us like mountains, so that you see the ecosystem where the giants are located as all possibilities. In fact, this is a huge illusion.

For example, most e-commerce companies are eyeing Ali to compete. But Meituan put forward a theory called AB classification:

First of all, based on whether supply and performance are online, we make a cross-cutting knife. Supply and performance are Tencent (Category A) online, and Ali is offline(Category B)

In category B, there is a more beautiful second knife: Ali is a physical e-commerce, and there is another possibility besides physical e-commerce that is a life service e-commerce. For example, takeaway is a life service e-commerce, and selling books, home appliances, and clothes is a physical e-commerce.

This knife is very beautiful. Most people limit e-commerce to the field of physical goods because Ali has done physical e-commerce. But Meituan cut this second knife, allowing you to see a completely different world.

In life service e-commerce, there is also a third knife: off-site life service e-commerce and local life service e-commerce.

Wang Xing’s analysis is very interesting, saying why do life service e-commerce instead of physical e-commerce? Because if you compete directly with Ali’s Juhuasuan, you have to have logistics, which is a very high cost for the start-up company.

Second, life service e-commerce is a non-standard product, a dirty and messy hard work, with low gross profit, so giants often disdain to do it. Meituan Wang Huiwen said:

"We have fallen in love with low-value things. How can BAT be interested in something that is not very profitable, difficult and slow. We specialize in chicken ribs and leave fat to BAT."

Looking back, what are the choices of other group buying websites at the same time? In 2010 and 2011, 58% of companies chose physical e-commerce. They were not killed by Meituan, but by Ali Juhuasuan.

In 16 years, Caijing interviewed Wang Xingshi and asked: Did the emergence of Meituan and Didi bring changes to the original BAT-led Internet order?

Wang Xing said: The law of competition in the Internet field has not fundamentally changed. It is not to squeeze out the original people in the original field, but to expand the new battlefield, and new players occupy the new battlefield. Innovation is always on the edge.

Wang Xing’s words are very wonderful. This is the power of the marginal value network.Innovation is always on the periphery.If you can’t see perfection, it’s because you’re too close to the picture.

Theory, is it really useful? "After being killed by the giant, I was reborn in a dislocation"

Many people ask me, Professor, Meituan is a successful giant, so is dislocation competition useful for small businesses? Is it useful for entrepreneurs?

Here, I would like to proudly invite a classmate to tell my story. Her name is Sister Deng, and she has used this theory to lead her company out of weakness and rebirth.

In 2010, I founded ROYMAX.(Wimes)LED company, launched a patented product, Apollo(LED three-sided luminous candle light), the turnover of single products reached 10 million.

But soon, the giant entered the market and beat our 68 yuan product with a 9.9 yuan congeneric product, causing our sales to plummet by 70% and being crushed by the giant.

Almost overnight, my ten-year savings were wiped out. Why is it that I am obviously different, but still being crushed by the giants?

On an occasional occasion, I learned the theory of "misplaced competition" and understood: "The difference is the difference between different value networks. The difference between the same value network is only better.

So, we started again, re-analyzed the market, positioned ourselves, and did succulent plant lighting and Jedi rebirth. How did you do it?

rough cut market

First look at the LED category map, divided into general lighting, medical lighting, agricultural lighting, and special lighting.

At that time, general lighting was already a red ocean market. Medical lighting was all for hospitals, and we couldn’t reach it in terms of professional technology. Special lighting refers to the aviation, aerospace, and marine fields, and it was difficult for us to enter the market. But there is still one area left, and we seem to have a chance – agricultural lighting.

Slice niche

Then we can divide the agricultural planting lights into breeding lighting and planting lighting. Aquaculture lighting because I was not familiar with it at the time, I couldn’t do it.

Planting lighting giants mainly serve B-end users, and Philips has launched a comprehensive solution that has eaten up this market. 

It can be seen that the opportunity can only be found at the C end. The C end requires flower and fruit lighting and succulent lighting. Because of the wide variety of colors, flowers need to be matched by many different spectra. At that time, our resources were insufficient, so we had to give up.

The pain point of succulent plants is the slow growth cycle and single color, which can be satisfied by our products. And in this field, compared with giants, as a start-up company, we have structural advantages: flexible market, online and offline simultaneous operation; startups with few personnel and efficient organization; product iteration speed is very fast. 

Through layers of analysis, we finally found the edge industry that this giant could not see, see, or do – succulent lighting, competing in a dislocation.

In the end, we occupied 60% of the market share, and the 18-year turnover exceeded 50 million, becoming a leading enterprise in the field of Taobao and Tmall horticultural lighting.

This is the power of the theory of misplaced competition, and by applying it, I can make change happen in the present moment.

Summary: Better than better, better than different

In an environment where leading companies have established a dominant advantage, any me too product will be reduced to chicken ribs. Don’t exaggerate your execution, don’t exaggerate your efforts, and don’t exaggerate your efficiency. The efforts and efficiency of today’s giants are much greater than ours, which is unimaginable.

Therefore, entrepreneurs need to keep in mind the misplaced competition model of "better than different".

The dislocation competition is not to be weak, but to make the chessboard bigger. To make the chessboard bigger, not in the same plane, but after the breakdown, it becomes a higher dimension and becomes bigger in a higher dimension.
