拼多多创始人黄峥在给投资者的信中说，以拼多多为主的采用新的经营模式的公司预计在“重建”的行业环境中会比资历更老的对手更有优势。拼多多声称是中国第二大电商平台，仅次于阿里巴巴，拥有5.852亿活跃买家。
In a letter to investors1, Pinduoduo founder2 Colin Huang suggests that companies with new business models, a group that Huang portrayed3 Pinduoduo as leading, are expected to outrun their older rivals in a world that’s witnessing a “reestablishment.”
 
The already intense rivalry4 between Pinduoduo and arch-rivals like Alibaba and JD is reaching a fever pitch as the Covid-19 is moving more Chinese shoppers online.
 
Instead of playing catch-up, the four-year-old company now claims to be China’s second-largest e-commerce platform with 585.2 million active buyers, next only to Alibaba.
 
Both Alibaba and JD have rolled out their counterpart apps that adopt similar models of Pinduoduo. More rivals like Alibaba-backed Suning are reportedly joining the battle.
 
Included in Pinduoduo’s 2019 annual report was a letter from its founder and CEO Colin Huang which sought to reassure5 shareholders6 about the company’s long-term growth prospects7.
 
Different from the previous public letters that mainly address the company’s operations and strategies, Huang explained this time his thoughts on the Covid-19 pandemic as well as the history of time, mentioning the theories of big thinkers from Newton to Einstein.
 
By predicting a new world setup, he believes new models will prosper8 the most. He predicts old models will be phased off, without mentioning the company’s rivals by name.
 
The company has recorded  RMB1.01 trillion ($144.6 billion) of gross merchandise volume from 585.2 million active buyers in 2019. That’s RMB1,720 ($247.1) of annual spending per active buyer, up 53% year on year from RMB 1,127 in 2018, the company’s 2019 report shows.
 
Results may vary: Public reception of Huang’s letter has been mixed. While some appreciate Huang’s philosophic9 thinking, others complain the letter is missing the point and offers no valuable detail for investors.
