Chapter 716 Three Companies Join Forces

It rained a little in Shanghai, and it rained a little in Shenzhen.

Under the gloomy sky, fine raindrops kept falling, splashing water on the roadside. Although the morning light had not yet arrived, the sky gradually brightened as time went by.

On the streets of Shenzhen, many people who were rushing to work but did not check the weather forecast hurried downstairs, only to find that it was raining, so they chose to take a taxi to work.

"Hello, passengers, Bibi Taxi is dedicated to serving you. Please sit in the back seat and fasten your seat belts."

"Hello, passengers, Kuaidi Travel welcomes you to use it. We are dedicated to serving you. Please fasten your seat belts before departure."

The users who took taxis on the roadside were a little surprised, because they clearly felt that the response efficiency of the two softwares was more than doubled, and their expressions were full of surprise.

You know, they usually need to wait for seven or eight minutes to take a taxi. Now it is the peak time for car use on rainy days. Unexpectedly, they can get a response in five minutes.

And more careful people found that the car they got with Bibi was not from Bibi, but from Kuaidi.

Or they use Kuaidi to call a taxi, but it is Bibi Express that picks them up.

In addition, in some areas where it is difficult to get a taxi with Bibi, Kuaidi can now be directly called.

And in some business areas controlled by Bibi, Kuaidi special cars are available on call.

At this time, Cheng Wei was sitting in the cafe downstairs of the branch office, watching the express cars with the logos of the two companies drive into the rain curtain, turn on the double flashes to stop, pick up passengers and leave quickly, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly.

He likes rainy days very much, because the sound of rain can reduce his pressure a little and make his thinking more open.

When he was doing market in Kyoto and was suppressed by Uber, he couldn't sleep in the hotel, so he often went out on rainy days and took a tent to the park to spend the night.

Business people have more pressure than ordinary people, and probably have some quirks.

Cheng Wei sipped his coffee, still feeling a dreamlike frivolous feeling.

To be honest, he really didn't expect that the communication between Kuaidi and Bibi would be so smooth.

Lenovo hosted a meal, a few glasses of wine, and a few hearty smiles, and this seemingly fantastic thing actually happened.

He would not think that it was his personal charm that conquered the two Ma CEOs, and the only explanation for such a smooth intercommunication should be that those big companies have begun to be wary of group buying.

A company can catch up with BAT in five years, so what if it is given another five years.

You know, Jiang Qin is only 24 years old. In five years, he will be in his prime, and he may really be able to drive BAT off the altar.

So, the big companies plan to do some small experiments on "encirclement and suppression" in the taxi market.

Uber is now broken, and Travis, an American, has no arrogance now. He relies on his arrogance to hold on and does not want to leave in such a shameful way.

But in fact, Uber has no power to fight back.

According to the next business logic, after Didi sends Travis back to the United States, it will inevitably sink quickly, and finally meet Bibi and Kuaidi in the sinking market, and defeat all opponents blocking the way.

As for the big companies, they just put together the works that were going to fail to see if they could create new sparks.

This is a low-cost test, but it may extend infinite possibilities for the future.

Cheng Wei was halfway through drinking coffee when he suddenly received a call from his secretary: "Mr. Cheng, Mr. Liu and Mr. Chen are here."

"Well, entertain them first, I'll be there in three minutes."

"Understood."

Cheng Wei threw the cup in his hand into the trash can, opened his umbrella and walked out of the coffee shop, returning to the headquarters building.

At this time, Chen Chuanxing was sitting on the sofa flipping through the brochure of Bibi, and sitting next to him was Liu Qing, the eldest princess of Lenovo China, who is currently the joint CEO of Kuaidi and Bibi.

Lenovo has made great efforts to promote the cooperation between Bibi and Kuaidi, because Liu Qing is very optimistic about this industry, and before that, she was the general manager of Asia for Goldman Sachs Group in the United States.

With allies, generals, and mountains behind them, this wave of Bibi and Kuaidi seems to have gathered the right time, right place, and right people.

The purpose of this meeting is to formulate a joint development plan between Bibi and Kuaidi.

"I suggest that Bibi and Kuaidi develop in both directions, continue to expand the market according to the original sinking plan, form a sinking encirclement, expand market share, and we will get the largest financing in the third round."

Cheng Wei had already thought of the development route in his mind, and he said it now, wanting to see the opinions of Chen Chuanxing and Liu Qing.

Chen Chuanxing nodded: "I agree with this point of view. Continue to sink the market, and provide good services and updates at the same time. The growth momentum of Bibi and Kuaidi will definitely be stable within two years."

"What about Didi?"

Liu Qing pulled her hair back and asked the two.

Cheng Wei and Chen Chuanxing looked at each other and saw the hesitation flashing in each other's eyes.

To be honest, even if Bibi and Kuaidi joined forces, they still didn't have the courage to face Didi head-on, and their first reaction was to avoid it as much as possible.

The market is still huge. If there is no need to fight, try not to fight to reduce losses and grow slowly. When the war is inevitable, I believe that Bibi and Kuaidi should have enough chips.

Therefore, the joint expansion of Kuaidi and Bibi was quickly launched, and the entire taxi market ushered in a period of rapid growth.

At the same time as the expansion plan began, the first cooperation between Alibaba and Tencent also attracted the enthusiastic attention of many capitals, such as Hillhouse Capital, SoftBank China and Apple.

Even Travis of Uber came to Shenzhen to meet Cheng Wei.

The cooperation between Kuaidi and Bibi seemed to be a tipping balance, and the roles between Uber and Bibi were swapped.

"Mr. Travis, tea or coffee?"

"Coffee, thank you."

Cheng Wei received him in his private apartment and had a good chat.

Travis's purpose was also very simple. He hoped to join the alliance and hold shares with Bibi in exchange for a part of the living space.

This foreign devil's view of the current situation is really good, and his ability to grasp the opportunity is even more outstanding.

Uber is now broken, and it may be worthless if it drags on. Moreover, because it is a foreign company, they are also taking a pit step by step in the private car industry.

But Uber has a very valuable identity for Bibi. He is the only lone wolf who is still fighting against Didi in Shanghai and Kyoto.

If the three parties join forces, Uber will contain Didi's main force in the front, and Bibi and Kuaidi will develop from behind, which is always faster than just one person.

What makes Cheng Wei more excited is the issue of power distribution.

According to the current development trend, Bibi and Kuaidi will officially merge before the third round of financing. One of him and Chen Chuanxing will always retreat behind the scenes. If Bibi and Uber can hold each other's equity, then Cheng Wei will be the real power holder.

However, this kind of equity swap cooperation is quite troublesome to talk about, and how many shares to exchange is an endless tug-of-war.

In fact, Travis's requirements are not high, and it is Cheng Wei who is really pretentious.

Think about the meeting in Beijing last year. At that time, Travis looked at him as a country bumpkin and told him that he could either surrender or die. Now the situation is reversed, it is normal to take a stab at it.

"When I met him, he was really arrogant, as if he had discrimination against people of color in his bones."

"And now his expression is the same as when I faced him."

"Helplessness and reluctance, anger but can only endure."

Cheng Wei muttered to himself, feeling secretly happy that he had a great revenge, but soon lost again, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Travis's surrender was not because they couldn't beat Bibi, but because they couldn't beat Didi and Pintuan.

In other words, it was not him who really conquered this arrogant foreigner, but Jiang Qin.

Cheng Wei leaned on the back of the sofa, looking at the ceiling, and his mind couldn't help but emerge the presence of Jiang Qin when he appeared at the Internet Conference, which no one could ignore.

At this time, Jiang Qin had already learned about the merger of Kuaidi and Bibi, but he was not surprised.

They had merged together to fight Uber in their previous life, and this time they had more reasons to merge together to fight themselves, which was not surprising.

However, when she found that Tencent and Alibaba seemed to care about her, Jiang Qin suddenly felt that she was the biggest villain in the story and would be the enemy of the whole world.

"Bibi and Kuaidi have been sinking the market. Their current market share is already very high. I suggest sinking the market quickly."

Ye Ziqing has been in group buying for many years. She has experienced the food delivery war and the payment war. She has grown a lot, but her temper is still a little impatient.

After knowing that Bibi and Kuaidi were connected, she felt that she couldn't sit still. She came to Shanghai from Kyoto that night, intending to go down and chase.

Jiang Qin looked at her, and after a long pause, he said, "If it's not two, it's three?"

"Three?"

"Didn't you notice that Uber has started to subsidize again recently?"

Ye Ziqing was stunned for a moment: "Indeed, Uber's subsidy activity was re-launched on Wednesday this week. They have nothing to do anyway, so it's really strange to burn money into the market again."

Jiang Qin nodded: "Once we focus on the sinking market, chasing Kuaidi or Bibi is the first problem to be solved. Whether Uber will make a comeback is another problem to be solved. We can't allocate so much Human resources, material resources and funds. "

"Kuaidi and Bibi are possible, but with Uber? Can these three really advance and retreat together?"

"They are not simply cooperating, but exchanging equity. Before the next round of financing, they will conduct the final merger. During this stage, no matter what we do, there will always be a part of the market that will be picked up by them."

Ye Ziqing took a deep breath: "This kind of merger competition also involves foreign-funded enterprises. Doesn't the Market Supervision Bureau care?"

Jiang Qin squeezed his hands together and clenched them twice: "Maybe group buying is really growing too fast."
