Tony Xu: 我创立了 DoorDash，并带领它成为美国最大的送餐平台。从最初的送货服务到如今的规模，我们经历了诸多挑战，也取得了显著的成就。在创业初期，我们面临着资金短缺和市场竞争的压力，但我们始终坚持以客户为中心，并通过亲身体验来了解客户需求。我们选择在郊区市场发展，因为那里的客户需求更大，单位经济效益也更好。新冠疫情期间，我们做出了降低佣金和广告宣传竞争对手的决定，这些决定虽然在当时看起来有风险，但从长远来看是正确的，因为我们始终坚持公司的长期目标：赋能实体企业并促进城市经济增长。未来，我们将继续关注实体商业领域，并探索更多可能性，因为实体世界仍然充满机遇，值得深入探索。我们相信，通过持续的努力，DoorDash 将在未来取得更大的成功。
