Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

The expansion to 500 cities by year-end implies a potential step-up in delivery speed and service reach, which could boost online orders and fulfillment efficiency. While near-term costs and integration risk exist (wind sensitivity, regulatory delays), the long-run impact could improve unit economics if rollout scales smoothly, as seen in other logistics tech adoptions.
