如果数据是新的石油，那中国就是新的沙特阿拉伯，这个国家的App应用，在给消费者带来便捷服务方面所达到的程度，估计你在北美和欧洲很难看见。
I often write about how mini-programs and mobile payments in Chinese apps means they are literally built like operating systems. Let me just say this again, there’s no equivalent in American or Silicon Valley apps.
我经常写，中国应用里那些迷你程序，和移动支付，是如何构建得像一个操作系统！我重申一下，在美国或硅谷的应用程序中可没有这些相应的东西。
Today I’m going to talk again about how the offline-to-online (O2O) and on-demand apps convenience lead China has over American apps. Meituan-Dianping is a pretty decent example of this.
今天我就来聊聊O2O，这类生活服务类应用App，在便捷宜用上，是如何超越美国App的。美团就是一个很好的例子！
So in late February, 2019 Meituan want the most innovative company done by Fast Company.
2019年2月末的时候，Fast Company对美团有过报道，称其是最具创新的公司之一。
China’s Meituan-Dianping and Southeast Asia’s Grab have been rated as the planet’s two most innovative companies by Fast Company.
中国的美团和东南亚的Grab被Fast Company评为全球最具创新力的两家公司。
China is innovation transaction super apps (TSAs) far faster than the likes of Uber is evolving or Facebook is pivoting to a WeChat model of how its utilities are used in the real world. While Western apps are primarily digital advertising friendly, Chinese apps are much more practical and convenient for online-to-offline services.
中国式的创新，超级交易应用程序（TSA）的发展，远远超过优步正在演进的速度，连Facebook现在也不得不向微信模式转型，去探索如何将其应用设施，应用到现实世界。虽然主流西方应用程序没有那么多数字广告，但中国的应用程序，对于链接线上和线下服务会更加实用和方便。
Meituan is among the leaders in how this occurs. The Chinese app ecosystem is impacting the growth of local businesses in ways that the West could never replicate, though some companies like Shopify are trying to do so with E-commerce.
美团是o2o应用发展的领导者之一。中国应用程序生态系统，正以西方永远无法复制的方式，影响本地企业的增长，尽管美国的一些公司，像Shopify这样的公司也正在试图以这种方式做电子商务。
Meituan Dianping is a Chinese tech platform that expedites the booking and delivery of services such as food, hotel stays, and movie tickets — facilitated 27.7 billion transactions (worth $33.8 billion) for more than 350 million people in 2,800 cities.

Meituan has becoming what Uber could have been, and even Grab is pivoting into new ecosystem very quickly.
美团已经实现了优步本来可以实现的目标，甚至Grab也很快就会转型进入新的生态系统。
According to Fast Company, they may not be well known in the US, but Meituan and Grab are changing the lives of hundreds of millions of consumers and millions of merchants with highly complex operations disguised as simple transactions — elegant tech to enable real-world experiences. Asian apps are essentially more utilitarian and impacting economic growth in more tangible and less centralized way that companies like Facebook and Amazon.
根据Fast Company的说法，虽然在美国可能并不为人所熟知，但美团和Grab，正在改变数亿消费者和数百万商家的生活，他们将高度复杂的操作改装成简单的交易 – 灵敏的技术，以实现真实的体验。亚洲应用程序本质上更实用，并且像Facebook and Amazon一样，以更有形，更去中心化的方式，影响着经济发展。
In a world of mobile payments and super transactional apps with less friction, everybody wins especially the consumer, and not just Tencent, Alibaba, Meituan, Baidu and the other companies behind them. In the West super-apps haven’t become mainstream since the app ecosystem is more fragmented and services less consumers. If data is the new oil, China is the new Saudi Arabia and its apps are showing a level of consumer convenience you’d be hard pressed to find in North America or Europe.
在一个移动支付和超级交易类应用软件横飞的世界里，每个人都以自己独特的方式赢得消费者的青睐，不仅仅是腾讯、阿里、百度和其他排在这些巨头后面的公司。在西方，超级应用程序尚未成为主流，因为应用程序生态系统更加分散，服务的人群也少。如果数据是新的石油，那中国就是新的沙特阿拉伯，这个国家的App应用，在给消费者带来便捷服务方面所达到的程度，估计你在北美和欧洲很难看见。
Meituan isn’t just an “everything-app” it’s leading innovation.
美团不仅仅是一个包罗万象的应用程序，它正在引领创新。
Meituan enables 1,783 services every second, with each customer using it an average of three times a week.
美团每秒提供1,783项服务，每位客户平均每周使用三次。
That’s a scale that Alibaba can approach, but not Amazon, likely ever. Meituan of course also does personalized recommendations. Meituan-Dianping also tracks users’ consumption habits, such as price sensitivity, to recommend other things they’ll like. Again, there’s no equivalent in America or Europe with this kind of transactional value and real-world convenience.
这个规模阿里巴巴可以达到，但如果是美国的亚马逊，永无可能。美团当然也会做个性化的推荐。 美团还跟踪用户的消费习惯，如价格敏感度，推荐他们喜欢的其他东西。同样，在美国或欧洲，没有能与之相匹配的应用服务，能够创造出像美团这种交易价值，提供现实世界交易的便利性体验。
It’s different world than this year, when the world’s most innovative company in 2019 is officially a Chinese super app. Meituan has found a niche-of-everything as an amalgamations of lifestyle services that connect hundreds of millions of customers to local businesses. China is able to create such platforms due to its incredible growth and the size of its consumer base that’s more than 3x as big as the United States.
从今年开始，世界变的不同了，2019年世界上最具创新力的公司是一家中国的超级应用。美团做为一个混合交易平台已经整合了所有细分领域生活方式服务，将数亿客户与当地企业联系起来。中国能够创造这样的平台，因为它的市场增速令人难以置信，其消费群体规模是美国的3倍。

In a retail world where more retailers are pivoting to dynamic pricing, Meituan that views food as its core offering, is highly skilled at leveraging its data regarding users’ consumption habits, including price sensitivity. China is creating app-platforms of convenience the world has never seen before.
Here really is an AI augmented human workforce of food delivery convenience that makes Uber and Amazon look small.
