The “online economy” spawned by the epidemic

During the epidemic prevention and control period, residents across the country responded to the government’s call and quarantined themselves at home. However, they need daily necessities at home, and most residents choose to purchase daily necessities online, thus giving rise to a number of "online economies." New forms such as "Internet+" contactless delivery and online supermarkets have emerged, which not only facilitate ordinary people and increase their income, but also inject vitality into economic development.

It is understood that the contactless delivery "vegetable basket" is a form of logistics distribution. After the outbreak, gas stations, convenience stores, and small supermarkets have launched "private ordering" services. Residents can follow the corresponding public account on their mobile phones to form personalized purchase orders. "Vegetable baskets" are purchased centrally based on customer order information and distributed on a community basis. The store notifies residents through WeChat groups to collect them at designated points. This contactless delivery method not only effectively avoids the risk of the epidemic, but also allows fresh products to be delivered as soon as possible. Put it on the people's table.

"The quality of life of citizens cannot be reduced just because of the epidemic." This is the unanimous voice of the "vegetable basket" people.

Coincidentally, the "online supermarket" that emerged during the epidemic made shopping more convenient and faster. Recently, a community in Beijing established 48 WeChat shopping service groups, covering all unit buildings in the community. Residents only need to place an order via WeChat and pay online easily, and the mall will deliver it quickly and on time.

"We hope that through our efforts, the general public can reduce going out as much as possible and ensure their health." This is the common vision of the "online supermarkets".

In addition, new business formats such as online investment and telecommuting have also sprung up. While efforts are being made to prevent and control the epidemic, new models such as online recruitment, video investment, telecommuting, and cloud shopping have emerged in various places, which are gradually becoming new driving forces for steady economic development. At present, the "online economy" relying on "Internet +" is in the ascendant. The new forms and new business formats spurred by the epidemic have added new impetus to stable economic development, and also played a positive role in adjusting the economic structure and increasing social employment.
