1. Background and reasons for management changes:
Yu Yongfu's glorious history.
As the chairman of Local Life Group and the CEO of Ele.me, Yu Yongfu has a huge responsibility. He joined Alibaba in 2014 following the acquisition of UC by Alibaba Group, and in the years that followed, he held a number of key positions, including President of UC Mobile Business Group。In July 2021, Alibaba merged AutoNavi, Local Life and Fliggy into the lifestyle services segment, which was managed by Yu Yongfu, demonstrating its important position in the Alibaba Group.
Reasons for the change in management.
There are many reasons for the change in management, which may be related to the challenges faced by Local Life Group, the needs of market development and the adjustment of internal management systems. Especially with the rapid changes in the Internet industry and the intensification of competition, companies need to constantly adjust their management to adapt to the changes and development needs of the market. Wu Yongming affirmed Yu Yongfu's hard work in the internal letter, but also clarified the goal of rejuvenating the management team, which shows the company's thinking and adjustment of the future development direction
2. Background and ability of the new management:

Challenges and opportunities for a younger management team.
In the internal letter, Wu Yongming put forward the goal of rejuvenating the management team, and said that it is necessary to create a mechanism and cultural environment for more young people to become the core force. This is not only to adjust the talent structure of the company's management, but also to adapt to the rapidly changing market environment and cultivate more innovative and energetic managers.
Yu Yongfu's future planning and international exploration.
Yu Yongfu said in an internal letter that he will build on EWTP** to explore more internationalization through investment and provide strategic support for the business。This shows his confidence in the future planning and the company's international development, and also provides new impetus and support for the company's future competition in the international market.
4. Financial Situation and Challenges:
Revenue growth and loss issues.
Although Local Living Group showed a 13% year-on-year increase in revenue and a nearly 20% year-on-year increase in orders in its latest earnings report, it is still facing a loss. Adjusted EBITA was a loss of 206.8 billion yuan, showing that the company still needs to improve in terms of profitability.
Strategies and measures to deal with losses.
Faced with the problem of losses, companies need to adopt effective strategies and measures to deal with it. This may include measures such as optimizing business structure, improving operational efficiency, and increasing market investment to achieve the goal of improving profitability and sustainable development.
