We reaffirm our belief that our food delivery and in-store, hotel & travel businesses have a significant runway for future growth and operation optimization over the long term. While our significant investments in new initiatives hampered our overall profitability in 2020, these new initiatives are also creating increasing value for consumers, merchants, our business partners, and the broader society. We remain committed to making investments in big opportunities that are capable of delivering long-term growth and providing consumers and all participants with more value. We believe community e-commerce is one of such big opportunities, and we will allocate sufficient resources to accelerate its development in 2021 while continuously improving its operating efficiency. Increasing investments in new initiatives may continue to cause significant negative impacts on our overall financial results, and the Company may continue to record operating losses in the next few quarters as we ramp up our community e-commerce business. However, we have always focused on long-term growth rather than short-term profits, adhering to a long-term oriented investment philosophy. More importantly, we remain optimistic about the prospects of China’s economic development. We believe that our determination to accelerate the digitization and online operation of the boarder industry over the long term will allow us to benefit from the digitization trend and industry growth. As such, we will continue to help merchants enhance operational efficiency across industries through innovations and better services, provide more convenience, as well as quality products and services at affordable cost for consumers, and create more value for the society with the help of technology, fulfilling our mission that “We help people eat better, live better.”Meituan financial report","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":221,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"EN","currentLanguage":"EN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":3,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ORIG"},"commentList":[{"id":3955823,"commentId":"3955823","gmtCreate":1617520416225,"gmtModify":1680782830661,"authorId":3570965583958757,"author":{"id":3570965583958757,"idStr":"3570965583958757","authorId":3570965583958757,"name":"SafetyFirst","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a6356c1a4c82b1755621f3b2631a6784","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":352112862,"objectIdStr":"352112862","type":1,"supId":0,"supIdStr":"0","prevId":0,"prevIdStr":"0","content":"wow","text":"wow","html":"wow","likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"subComments":[],"verified":10,"allocateAmount":0,"commentType":"invalid","coins":0,"score":0},{"id":3940457,"commentId":"3940457","gmtCreate":1617285918535,"gmtModify":1680782598704,"authorId":3576953836352666,"author":{"id":3576953836352666,"idStr":"3576953836352666","authorId":3576953836352666,"name":"peachyine","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a176dc95a804736a49c5b45c8fd981e","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":352112862,"objectIdStr":"352112862","type":1,"supId":0,"supIdStr":"0","prevId":0,"prevIdStr":"0","content":"pepepe","text":"pepepe","html":"pepepe","likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"subComments":[],"verified":10,"allocateAmount":0,"commentType":"invalid","coins":0,"score":0},{"id":3923060,"commentId":"3923060","gmtCreate":1617116400913,"gmtModify":1680782331241,"authorId":3576953836352666,"author":{"id":3576953836352666,"idStr":"3576953836352666","authorId":3576953836352666,"name":"peachyine","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a176dc95a804736a49c5b45c8fd981e","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":352112862,"objectIdStr":"352112862","type":1,"supId":0,"supIdStr":"0","prevId":0,"prevIdStr":"0","content":"pepe","text":"pepe","html":"pepe","likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"subComments":[],"verified":10,"allocateAmount":0,"commentType":"invalid","coins":0,"score":0},{"id":3923056,"commentId":"3923056","gmtCreate":1617116393134,"gmtModify":1680782327713,"authorId":3576953836352666,"author":{"id":3576953836352666,"idStr":"3576953836352666","authorId":3576953836352666,"name":"peachyine","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a176dc95a804736a49c5b45c8fd981e","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":352112862,"objectIdStr":"352112862","type":1,"supId":0,"supIdStr":"0","prevId":0,"prevIdStr":"0","content":"wow","text":"wow","html":"wow","likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"subComments":[],"verified":10,"allocateAmount":0,"commentType":"invalid","coins":0,"score":0}],"hasMoreComment":true,"orderType":2}
