Chapter 702 How Can There Be a Private Car?

On New Year's Eve, the sky began to snow, but only sporadically.

Gaode's employees had been working overtime during the Spring Festival, seemingly rushing to finish something, and finally went home today to have a reunion dinner with their families.

At this time, WeChat red envelopes were quietly launched, which set off the Spring Festival period in one fell swoop.

The new function was spread through official accounts and the Spring Festival Gala, attracting 8 million users on New Year's Eve, and 40 million red envelopes were instantly divided.

With the help of a powerful social system, the number of WeChat payment users increased instantly, and the card binding rate also began to rise sharply.

At this time, Jiang Qin and the little rich woman dressed like a cotton doll went to her aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings.

"Congratulations on your prosperity, give me the red envelope." Feng Nanshu spread his little hand to Qin Jingqiu.

"?"

Qin Jingqiu looked at Jiang Qin: "Nanshu didn't want red envelopes during the Chinese New Year before, and she wouldn't accept them."

Jiang Qin grinned: "That was in the past. Now we have to save money to buy milk powder for Jiang Ainan, auntie!"

"Nanshu, did you learn bad things from Jiang Qin?"

Feng Nanshu stuck to Jiang Qin and said softly: "I follow the chickens when I marry a chicken, and I follow the dogs when I marry a dog..."

Jiang Qin's mouth twitched: "Who did you learn this from?"

"I learned it from Gao Wenhui."

At the same time, in the WeChat group of the group purchase, Sunai also sent red envelopes to the boss and the boss's wife every day, and others lurked in the group waiting for an opportunity. In just a few days, the milk powder money that Jiang Qin had just saved was divided up.

"The Milk Thief"

It was just such a simple program that turned the custom of red envelopes into the most effective business means.

This red envelope effect lasted until March, and screenshots of red envelope balances were everywhere in the circle of friends.

And you have to use the red envelopes you grab, even if you don't use WeChat payment, you have to bind a card to withdraw cash.

First, let users have money in their wallets, and then make users have to use it. This reverse business logic made WeChat Pay the biggest winner of the entire Spring Festival.

From the end of January to March, when the cold gradually subsided and the ice and snow melted, the number of WeChat Pay users increased wildly. By the day of Jingzhe, the number of users had reached 32% of the entire market.

The online business of Alipay and Cloud QuickPass was relatively stable, but the offline business was affected one after another.

"Damn, sneak attack!"

Ma Yun was shocked and angry, and immediately launched the red envelope business, but it didn't splash any water.

The red envelope contains all kinds of human relationships in Chinese society. To put it bluntly, it is a kind of monetization of interpersonal relationships. As a social network, it is a fertile soil for interpersonal relationships. Therefore, only WeChat can play the red envelope well, which is an unsolvable situation.

At this time, the taxi market, which had temporarily stopped because of the Spring Festival, began to reignite the war.

Travis said years ago that he wanted to clean up the battlefield and end the war, but Bibi and Kuaidi have been delaying and have not made a choice between surrender and death.

So at the beginning of spring, Uber directly increased its market investment, burning the market with a raging tide, intending to directly destroy Bibi and Kuaidi.

As for Didi, Travis looked down on it.

Didi has been online since December, and its market share has been so small until now, not even reaching the peak level of Bumblebee. How could he look down on it?

In his opinion, Didi will not be a rival at all, but just a stumbling block that can be overcome with a slightly bigger step.

At this time, Cheng Wei heard a rumor about Didi.

Some people said that Didi is not only developing business in Shanghai and Kyoto, but also in Linchuan and the surrounding five cities, but their attitude is extremely low-key.

"I understand. Jiang Qin wants to play the game of surrounding the city from the countryside. Shanghai and Kyoto are just feints. They want to get familiar with the second-tier cities, extend the business chain, and surround them as a whole."

"This is the classic method they used during the group buying period. I said that the preparation for group buying is not limited to this."

Chen Chuanxing is communicating with Cheng Wei more and more frequently, mainly because they currently have the same opponent, Uber.

When Chen Chuanxing knew that Didi was doing the second-tier market, he also felt that the doubts were gradually dissipated, and finally understood the route Didi wanted to take.

Shanghai and Kyoto made such a big momentum just to cover up their actions in the second-tier cities. Surrounding the city from the countryside is what they want to do.

"It's a pity that this won't work."

Cheng Wei nodded: "That's right. Didi has only developed five cities from the beginning of the year to the beginning of the year. It will take at least another year to form an encirclement, but the market can't wait for a year."

Judging from the current subsidy strength of Uber, even if Bibi and Kuaidi join forces, they can't last for half a year.

At that time, Uber, which has no rivals, will sink quickly, and at that time, Didi's encirclement has not yet been formed and will be easily dispersed.

This is different from the group buying business.

Group buying requires negotiating with merchants one by one, and the timeline can be stretched very long, but in the taxi business, you only need to sign a taxi company and a fleet with operating qualifications to basically control the market.

Uber burned 1 billion US dollars a year ago. Judging from this desperate attitude, it is not a difficult task for him at all.

"Mr. Jiang may be limited by the thinking of doing group buying."

"I'm going to say something disrespectful. Mr. Jiang is actually not as amazing as the outside world says. He only has this kind of way. It's just that he has played an unexpected effect in group buying and takeout, so he seems very fierce."

Cheng Wei nodded, sighed a little regretfully, and then said goodbye to Chen Chuanxing.

At the beginning of the new year, he had many dinner parties to organize, and the first group to be invited was the leaders of the Shanghai Transportation Commission.

The road operations of each city are under the jurisdiction of the transportation department. Although Bibi’s business is now in a serious decline, it still has to invite the leaders to dinner.

Drinking is inevitable at a party. Bibi is a start-up company. Cheng Wei is not like Jiang Qin, a long-established business predecessor. He does not have his own personal driver and relies on Kuaidi for travel. This is his habit since he fought with Kuaidi.

But what Cheng Wei did not expect was that he saw Jiang Qin at the door as soon as he arrived at his destination.

"Mr. Jiang?"

Cheng Wei was a little surprised: "I've heard of your name for a long time, and today I finally meet you in person!"

Jiang Qin was stunned for a moment: "Who are you?"

"Oh, let me introduce myself, I'm the CEO of Bibi, my name is Cheng Wei."

"Bibi? I know, hello, Mr. Cheng!"

Jiang Qin suddenly changed his single hand to two hands and shook hands with him tightly: "You have worked hard in the past six months, leave the rest to me."

Cheng Wei: "?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you will understand, oh, by the way, remember to come to my little princess's full moon wine in the second half of the year."

Cheng Wei watched Jiang Qin wave goodbye to him, went out and got on a Maybach, his expression was a little confused.

What do you mean by hard work for me? The rest is left to you?

He was puzzled, so he didn't think much about it, and hurried to visit several leaders of the Shanghai Transportation Commission and invited them to dinner tonight.

Originally, they had already made an appointment, but unexpectedly, several leaders all refused, saying that they had to hold an emergency meeting in the next few days.

Cheng Wei expressed his understanding, but before leaving, he saw a sheepskin document bag with the name of Linchuan Municipal Government on the director's desk, which was already open.

A month later, Cheng Wei's dinner was almost done, and at this time, there was an email from Travis in his mailbox, inviting him and Chen Chuanxing to dinner.

Although it was called dinner, everyone knew that Travis was going to issue an ultimatum.

Cheng Wei and Chen Chuanxing met in a cafe, exchanged ideas, and decided to go to the dinner together.

"How do we get there?"

"Take a taxi. Damn, if we can't get it in the market, then let's drink that son of bitch to death."

Cheng Wei said as he opened Kuaidi. He twitched his mouth when he saw Chen Chuanxing: "Isn't this inappropriate?"

Cheng Wei was stunned for a moment: "You're not happy about scolding him?"

"I said it's inappropriate for you to use my Kuaidi coupon to take a taxi, isn't it?"

Cheng Wei laughed awkwardly and explained that he was used to it, then opened Didi: "I've never used Didi before, give it a try."

Chen Chuanxing pursed his lips: "There aren't many Didi vehicles, so I have to wait for half an hour?"

"It's just right to prepare myself mentally. By the way, I met Mr. Jiang in person before."

Cheng Wei pressed the taxi button and said casually.

Chen Chuanxing was stunned for a moment: "How can you meet him? It is said that you have to make an appointment one month in advance to meet him."

"We met by chance, at the entrance of the Transportation Commission. I guess he invited the leaders to dinner. If you are doing taxi business, you have to deal with superiors."

"What did he say to you?"

"Nothing, just a simple chat."

Chen Chuanxing looked at him: "Didn't he give you some advice and teach you how to beat Uber?"

Hearing this, the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

In the first half of the taxi war, Jiang Qin instructed Bumblebee and extended his life for three months. He was called a business textbook by people in the circle, and all kinds of nonsense came one after another.

As a result, Didi officially left the field without making any splashes, which was also quite funny.

Now no one calls the five words "business textbook", and Qin's praises have also stopped. The reputation that Jiang Qin accumulated in the group buying war, takeaway war and payment war is about to be lost in the taxi war.

Some people also say that Jiang Qin only has three tricks, which are very powerful, but they are gone after they are used.

So, when Chen Chuanxing asked Cheng Wei whether Jiang Qin taught him, it was actually partly mocking.

However, just as the two of them started talking, Cheng Wei suddenly felt his phone shaking, and then he found that a driver had accepted the order, which made Cheng Wei stunned.

At present, Uber has the highest response efficiency in Shanghai, and can accept orders within five minutes in the bustling urban area.

The average time for Beep and Kuaidi is eight to twelve minutes, but Didi's order acceptance speed seems to be less than one minute...

Chen Chuanxing looked at him: "What's wrong?"

"The order was accepted."

"Maybe there is a car nearby."

As soon as Chen Chuanxing finished speaking, a white Dongfeng Citroen with double flashes stopped not far from them.

The window was lowered, and a man with glasses inside waved at them, shouting the words "get in the car".

The smiles on Cheng Wei and Chen Chuanxing's faces gradually disappeared. After waiting for five seconds, the driver saw that they did not move, and became impatient. He could not help but honked the horn. The two quickly came back to their senses, but their scalps were numb instantly.

"Fuck, private car?!"

"How could there be a private car?!"

(Double at the beginning of the month, monthly ticket requested...)
