Chapter 699 Didi’s end
?After the ceremony, the wedding banquet officially began. Yuan Youqin and Jiang Zhenghong were moved with enthusiasm, and their aunt's eyes were a little red. The atmosphere at the scene became warm, and there were blessings all over the place.
?The photos of the scene were also spread to various places as they were shared on WeChat Moments, Weibo and Weibo.
The reporters who had been waiting in the banquet hall also followed the sound and came to the backstage of the wedding banquet. They had been waiting since the beginning of the ceremony. At this moment, they finally took advantage of the opportunity and gathered around Jiang Qin to start the interview.
“Mr. Jiang, how are you feeling today?”
?“Happiness, pleasure.”
“According to the layout of the group in 2013, and what you just said at the wedding, do you intend to focus on life? Because there are rumors outside that Mrs. Jiang is pregnant?”
?Jiang Qin pursed his lips: "I hope that I can take care of work and family. If there is a suitable project, I will be willing to try it."
At this time, a girl in the group of reporters raised her toes and held out a microphone: "What does Mr. Jiang think of the current taxi market?"
“Competition is fierce, and it has far exceeded the original scale of group buying and takeout.”
“Is Mr. Jiang interested in this market? After marrying Mrs. Jiang and returning your energy, will you take any action on the taxi market?”
?Jiang Qin faced the camera: "That depends on what my wife wants."
??The female reporter couldn't help but laugh out loud, and continued to ask: "Ms. Jiang is the CEO who is best at Internet business wars. He has won many large-scale business wars. Which platform do you think you are more optimistic about?"
??“Not sure, but it’s definitely not Uber.”
?“Thank you Mr. Jiang.”
??Jiang Qin nodded, arranged for people to distribute wedding candies to the reporters, and then saw Dong Wenhao walking over accompanied by a middle-aged man in a blue plaid shirt.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Qin immediately greeted me: "Liu Bureau, thank you for taking the time to attend my wedding. It's such an honor."
“Mr. Jiang is so polite. To be honest, we don’t have much contact with each other. I’m quite surprised that you asked Manager Dong to go to Linchuan to invite me in person.”
“Liu Bureau, I invite you to come this time. In addition to attending the wedding banquet, I also have something to ask you for help. Let’s find a place to chat?”
“Okay, Mr. Jiang, please lead the way.”
?Jiang Qin stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation and took Director Liu to the next room.
Tan Qing was busy seeing off guests at this time. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but walked up to Dong Wenhao: "Who is that person?"
“Director of Linchuan Transportation Bureau.”
After a long time, Jiang Qin and Director Liu left the reception room. At this time, Director Liu had a joint development plan in his hand. He said goodbye to Jiang Qin and looked at the plan, frowning deeply. .
??He was a little hesitant when he heard what Jiang Qin said. Now after reading the complete plan, the hesitation in his heart did not decrease but increased.
?But before he could think about it carefully, the leader of Linchuan City called him over for a drink, and the plan was also brought over.
"Jiang Qin wants us to give him the green light, but this matter... is a bit dangerous."
“The teacher said before he was transferred that if there is a chance to keep Jiang Qin, he should keep him. Let’s go, I will be responsible for anything that happens, and if this thing is done, it will also help our work.”
"Okay, then I'll go back tonight, study it with the people in the bureau, and draft a red-headed document."
?Jiang Qin spent half a month preparing for this wedding, and during this half month, the taxi-hailing market also changed dramatically.
??As Uber increased its capital investment, the battle became more and more fierce. In the end, Bumblebee failed to hold on and finally chose to merge with Kuai.
?Because Bumblebee itself has the least capital among the three companies, during the period when Bibi and Kuaidi were competing against each other, he could still take advantage of the opportunity through guerrilla warfare, but under the pressure of Uber's capital, there was no chance at all.
During the few days of the wedding, Uber and Baidu teamed up to advertise overwhelmingly. Bibi’s market shrank severely, and the entire team was anxious.
?The most critical thing is that because of Uber’s high subsidies, drivers have flocked to this foreign platform, causing the vehicle response speeds of Beep and Kuaidi to seriously slow down.
?Various bad comments are also coming in one after another.
?In order to curb this situation, Bibi designed a pop-up window in the background. Once it detects that the phone is connected to Uber, a prompt "Do you want to uninstall Uber?" will pop up.
??But the end result was that Bibi found that its daily active users began to plummet, so it quickly called a halt.
The other side of Kuaishou thought of a better way, which was to publicly report Travis’s remarks on the external Internet through domestic online platforms.
?“Chinese people are the most vain.”
?“Chinese companies are like babies that never grow up.”
?“It’s easiest to make money from Chinese people.”
?When these remarks were exposed, they indeed aroused fierce resistance from the melon-eating masses, and Uber was immediately criticized on the Internet.
??This is a basic link in the business war, the public opinion war.
?But then, Chen Chuanxing discovered that Uber’s business volume had not decreased as a result.
??You should be scolded online, but in reality, people who need to take a taxi will still use it.
?At this time, Uber’s market share has reached 60%, while Bibi and Kuaishou’s combined total is less than 40%.
? Cheng Wei was so anxious that he almost cursed, but at this moment he received a call from Travis, inviting him to have a business meeting.
?The market was lost, but the aura could not be timid, so Cheng Wei came as promised and met the founder of Uber who had beaten him to the ground.
“Mr. Cheng, market competition is inseparable from funds, and the Internet war can only be won by those who can spend more funds. This is a truth.”
"In this case, it is impossible for Beep to defeat Uber. I think you and I are very aware of this fact." "In the past few days, you have tried various methods, but you have achieved nothing, haven't you?"
“You exposed my remarks on Facebook through the media, thinking that this would affect Uber’s business, but what was the result?”
“My evaluation of Chinese consumers is not wrong. They don’t care what I say. Even if I belittle them, they will still stay because of the discounts I offer.”
“But Mr. Cheng, how much money does Bibi still have? If you continue to burn like this, you may have nothing, so during this meeting, I want to make a win-win proposal for both parties.”
“I am willing to acquire 60% of Bibi’s equity and merge the business.”
"Mr. Cheng, think about it carefully. This is very tempting, but if you don't agree, we will increase our investment in the Kyoto market, and you will really lose everything."
?Travis looked at him, his tone full of threats.
ˆThe money spent to acquire the equity of Bibi is far less than the money-burning war in the market, and the results will be more, and the development speed will be faster.
?Travis hopes to end the occupation as soon as possible, unify the market, and transform into a profit model.
To put it bluntly, even an international company is a bit trembling because of such money burning. They want to unify the industry quickly, merge other companies, then increase taxi prices, lower driver commissions, and harvest the market.
The industry ecology of the Internet is like this. If there is only one choice for you on the market, then you will be the one who sets the price.
?What kind of early discounts are just bait for cutting leeks.
?When he later met with Kuaishou CEO Chen Chuanxing, he said the same thing.
?Travis fully demonstrated what prejudice and arrogance are. Although he said he was doing it for your own good, his actual meaning was very clear, surrender or die.
??He looked at Chen Chuanxing as if he were looking at a country bumpkin, and his tone when talking about the acquisition of equity was as if he was giving alms to a beggar.
??And this guy's evaluation of Chinese consumers has not changed. He is hypocritical and loves to take advantage. He is really trying to make money here while slandering and insulting them.
?After the business meeting ended, the content was passed on in all directions.
?Many people were stunned after hearing this and didn't understand how this ghost guy could be so arrogant.
?But more people feel helpless, because the market will not change because of this. Uber has indeed stepped onto the threshold of victory, and Beep and Kuai are unable to fight back.
?You can't fight again and again, and it's useless to get angry. This feeling makes people feel very angry, but it is also really useless.
“You can’t win by fighting hard. In fact, Travis is right in saying that if you continue to burn, it will do no good to anyone.”
“If this continues, the taxi-hailing industry will be monopolized by foreign companies.”
“Mr. Cheng, don’t listen to that Travis’ nonsense, **** him!”
? Cheng Wei was scrolling through the messages on his phone and couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at the group of people who were watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
?If you don’t have as much money as others and your skills are not as good as others, what can you do with them?
? At this time, Tencent's investment manager Peng Sheng also called specifically and asked Cheng Wei if he wanted to go down. If so, he could make another investment.
It is additional additional addition, but everyone knows that the one that Tencent can take out is absolutely impossible to reach the result of the left and right war. They may be able to make a consumption with Uber, but it is just a little hard to win him.
??If the key to breaking the situation does not emerge, Uber will achieve a key victory in 2014, and other taxi-hailing software will die one after another.
?Cheng Wei felt trapped in an endless darkness, and had a vague intention of retreating in his heart.
??Night fell quickly, and Cheng Wei didn't even return home. He sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, struggling over and over again.
At this time, the LED advertising screen opposite the office building suddenly flashed, attracting his attention. He walked closer and found that the LED that originally said "Group Buying" suddenly changed and turned into "Didi Taxi, Efficient". Reservation, quality service, one-click travel.”
Cheng Wei was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes, and moved his whole face to the window, when he suddenly heard a series of WeChat notifications behind him.
??“I’m sorry, the team-fighting and high-ranking team members are going to join forces and end the game together!”
?“The dog is coming, the dog is coming!”
?“Why is it so sudden?”
“The wedding is about to end, can you take some time to do some fun?”
“No, it’s already the second half, and Travis is about to pop the champagne. It’s not wise to join a group at this time. Is he going to start from scratch? How could Uber give him a chance?”
“Jiang Qin is a **** and there is no way he can win at this time…”
?Everyone was in a daze when they looked at the headline news tonight.
?That’s right, this is already the second half of the ride-hailing industry.
??If Bibi and Kuaidi agree to merge into Uber, Uber will quickly sink and flourish in a territory without opponents.
??If they don’t agree, Uber will increase investment and end the battle quickly, and the team-up will end at this time, completely ignoring basic business logic.
?But Cheng Wei’s feelings were different from theirs, not because of anything else but because of the name Didi.
?At first he planned to make a taxi-hailing software, and the name he wanted most was this. But after checking, he found out that the name had been registered half a year ago, and he couldn't find anyone to buy it.
In other words, did Jiang Qin have this idea half a year before he wanted to make a taxi-hailing software?
??If this is the case, then he must have thought very carefully before deciding to end the game, but Cheng Wei had no idea how the team could withstand Uber's attack.
