CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- “Being lazy” not only promotes more and more products and technologies that save people time and effort, but also promotes changes in business models. In Chongqing, as consumption upgrades, the “lazy economy” is becoming a new trend in consumption. Data from Hema showed that in the past year, Hema’s take-away deliverymen have run 109 laps around the earth for Chongqing’s “lazy people” and consumed 160,000 liters of motorcycle fuel. At the same time, “lazy-friendly communities” are quietly emerging in Chongqing.

After placing an order with a mobile phone, the deliveryman will deliver fresh food, washing and cleaning products to consumers in the fastest 30 minutes. The instant delivery business model that has emerged in the past two years makes “the lazy” more “lazy”. Hema, which has been in Chongqing for a year, has opened 7 stores in succession, which also illustrates the strong demand for “lazy demand” in Chongqing.

How lazy are Chongqing people? According to Hema’s data, in the past year, the cumulative delivery mileage of Hema’s take-away deliveryman in Chongqing reached 4.37 million kilometers, which was equivalent to 109 laps around the earth, saving consumers a lot of time and energy. Chongqing has high mountains and steep slopes, so it is the only city in the country which needs motorcycle distribution, with a fuel consumption of 160,000 liters in one year.

At the same time, “lazy-friendly” communities are emerging in Chongqing. Data from “Shell Finding House” showed that at the level of renting, Chongqing’s “boxed houses” have 21% more attention than surrounding non-boxed houses, and rents are 9% higher than non-boxed houses, ranking first in the country. The fastest 30-minute free delivery service is becoming a secret weapon for “lazy people” to overcome Chongqing’s special terrain. (Translated by Luo Juan, Fathom Language Limited)
