Sina Technology reported on April 30 that media have announced that the instant Retail Trade service "Xiaoshida" under Taobao and Tmall has officially upgraded to "Taobao Flash Sale," which is displayed as a primary traffic entrance labeled "Flash Sale" on the homepage of the Taobao app. It launched in 50 cities on the first day and will be promoted nationwide on May 6. It is reported that the upgraded Taobao Flash Sale will collaborate with Ele.me to increase subsidies and provide maximum benefits and discounts for Consumers: such as free order red envelopes, free milk tea, and large discount takeout coupons among other super rights. In addition, the supply on Ele.me will be fully open to Taobao Flash Sale, in conjunction with brand e-commerce from Taobao and Tmall.
The "Takeout Three Kingdoms Kill" is upgraded: Ele.me enters the market with a 10 billion subsidy, JD.com and Meituan stocks under pressure. Who will laugh last?
① What profound impacts will the subsidy war have on the long-term landscape of the local life service market? ② How is the "systematic variable" proposed by CITIC SEC specifically manifested in the competition for takeaway services?

Sina Technology reported on the evening of April 29 that it has learned that the flight pig AI product "Ask One" has recently been updated, adding features such as follow-up questions and historical conversation record inquiries. Now, "Ask One" will actively initiate follow-up questions during user interactions. For example, when a user says, "Recommend unique hotels for me," it will ask the user if there is a specific destination they would like to visit. When a user says, "Discover destinations for me," after completing the plan, it will proactively ask the user, "Are you satisfied with the above destinations?" or "If there are areas you are particularly interested in, you can let me know." This follow-up mechanism can guide users when they pose broad questions.
