　　2. Can it be delivered 24 hours? Suning Logistics' new delivery staff is "not human"

　　On April 16, Suning Logistics piloted unmanned express delivery vehicles in Nanjing. This yellow "cute" car is a self-contained car that interacts information with elevators in China to deliver goods to the door. This little yellow car is called "Wolong No. 1". It is reported that there is a cylindrical device on the top of the head of "Wolong No. 1", which is one of its core - multi-line lidar. It is fusion-positioned by multi-line lidar + GPS + inertial navigation and other multi-sensors, thus opening the road to intelligent delivery. (Source: Yibang Power Network)

　　3. Tencent Civil War has entered an outbreak period: Didi and Meituan are burning Tencent’s money

　　After suffering from major shareholder reductions, Tencent has been making new troubles recently. Recently, Tencent’s younger brothers - Meituan and Didi have turned against each other.

　　Tencent founder Ma Huateng, who has gained a lot of investment, will also face "internal friction": the money-burning war between Meituan and Didi is burning their own money! How long will it take to burn? How much do you want to burn? Maybe Ma Huateng himself doesn't know either. I still remember that in December 2017, at the dinner called "Dongxing" and actually "Tencent", the Tencent bosses had a great time and formed an anti-Ali alliance while chatting and laughing, which seemed to be harmonious.

　　However, the Tencent system, which is harmonious on the surface, is not so calm in private. Didi Cheng Wei attended the dinner, but there was no Didi's name on the menu that made the names of each company into "Hidden Poetry". The tide was surging, and it might have been a long time since then. After entering 2018, internal conflicts in the Tencent system began to erupt in full swing.
