Shangchao actively protects its supply: use market forces to support the "vegetable basket" during the epidemic
■ Come on
The "war epidemic" is still ongoing. Needless to say, the epidemic has forced the public's pace of life to "transform," and convenience has been forced to make concessions. But three meals a day can't stop, people's demand for daily necessities such as rice noodles, oil, milk, eggs, fruits, vegetables, etc. can't stop. In this context, the "stable price guarantee and supply of living goods" is obviously the basic support for the whole society to fight against the epidemic. Only with this foundation can the public use "homes" to contribute to the fight against the epidemic.
During this special period, as a local life service provider, large commercial supermarkets have a more obvious role in "protecting people's livelihoods" in terms of demand for chai rice oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. In fact, in the case of the nationwide anti-epidemic, the food market, bazaar and small shops are closed, the commercial super league is almost the most important "people's livelihood supply channel". The price is not conscience enough, the quality is not assured enough, and the service is not intimate enough. It not only affects the livelihood of the people, but also directly affects the effectiveness of the epidemic.
At the moment, at the moment of the epidemic, many large commercial supermarkets that are deeply cultivated in the community network have indeed assumed the responsibility of guaranteeing supply. With the existence of a "social energy station", they have supported the people's "vegetable baskets" and "rice bags". It also provides a guarantee for the community to fight against the epidemic. Large-scale supermarkets such as Wumart have previously made promises to consumers across the country that during the epidemic prevention and control period, they will ensure that the price of epidemic prevention supplies, important livelihood commodities will not rise, the quality will not drop, and the supply will be continuous. In the special period of labor and supply chain instability, flat price guarantee supply also needs to take multiple measures. For example, Wumart established a special fund of 300 million yuan flat price guarantee supply to increase investment and stabilize the price of vegetables and other consumer goods. To ensure quality and safety,
The supply must be protected against epidemics. In fact, in order to avoid crowds as much as possible, in addition to expanding online transaction volume, some supermarkets have also innovated purchasing and distribution models. In the case of Wumart, in order to avoid the agglomeration risks brought by centralized procurement, it began to jointly set up anti-epidemic community service stations with various district governments and street offices in Beijing, and launched a contactless shopping model: citizens place orders on mobile phones and centralized sorting in logistics centers , Timely delivery to various communities to achieve contactless distribution throughout the process. This has taken into account the needs of people's livelihood and anti-epidemic, and is gradually covering more than 4000 communities in Beijing.
The fight against epidemic disease should be supported by the protection of supply, and the commercial service forces and market entities represented by large commercial supermarkets are playing a key role in ensuring the supply of living materials. This also enlightens, to protect people's livelihood, we must trust the market and rely on the market. The "basic role" of the market can be expected and reliable in terms of material security.
