Chapter 733 Travis, See You Overseas
Bibi and Kuaidi are not sitting still due to rectification. On the one hand, they are constantly working on all parties to shorten the rectification period. On the other hand, they are also increasing subsidies.
Promotion is not allowed, but Didi’s attacks on the sinking market can always be resisted.
And Didi is also used to quitting when things get better, leaving a little margin every time, and no longer leaving any room for violence when doing group purchases.
Seeing the dramatic reversal of the situation, most people began to remain silent, losing the energy to discuss the situation.
The market itself is a hard nut to crack, but for some reason, Tuan Tuan can turn it into a soft persimmon. They feel that they should not be qualified to judge Tuan Tuan as a company.
After the spring rain in early April, Uber officially withdrew from the Chinese market as originally rumored.
At that time, Travis came downstairs to the dripping headquarters, looked at the clouds like fish scales, couldn't help but wrapped his coat tightly, and walked to the car under the leadership of Peter Fenton and his secretary Anna. .
But just as he sat down, a Maybach passed through the long street after the rain and merged with Travis' car.
The car window was lowered, Jiang Qin slowly turned his head and showed a friendly smile.
[Old Te, when you return to the United States, I will see you off. 】
Kang Jingtao couldn't help but think of the words Jiang Qin came to greet him at the Internet Conference, and thought to himself that this might be the legendary saying that one should keep one's word.
In the market competition that lasted for more than a year, Uber struggled many times, and now it is finally leaving, and Jiang Qin did come as promised.
In fact, Travis was once selected as one of the ten most influential young CEOs in Silicon Valley. His reputation in the United States is no less than that of Jiang Qin, but in front of Jiang Qin, his momentum is still a bit lower, and Showing his age.
"Goodbye Mr. Travis."
"Mr. Jiang, I think I will never come to China again. Goodbye may be unnecessary."
"No, I mean see you in overseas markets."
"..."
Travis trembled, his eyes twitching wildly.
He came to the Chinese market with great enthusiasm to earn RMB, but he never expected that he would provoke a big enemy who was going to pursue Uber overseas.
Jiang Qin tilted his head at this time, leaning against the headrest of the rear seat, looking at Kang Jingtao standing under the dripping eaves: "Mr. Kang, long time no see."
"It's been a long time indeed, Mr. Jiang."
"Uber leaves, what are you going to do? Are you interested in trying a group ride? I wish Jin Fu a good job in our company."
Hearing Zhu Jinfu's name, Kang Jingtao couldn't hold himself tight for a moment.
When LaShou.com stormed the Shenzhen market, Kang Jingtao parachuted into the Shenzhen branch, crossed Zhu Jinfu, and attempted to poach Jiang Qin's local marketing team. As a result, LaShou's last independent branch was directly destroyed.
Since then, Zhu Jinfu packed up his belongings and joined Tuantuan, becoming the general manager of Tuantuan Shencheng, and his life was prosperous.
Thinking about myself again, damn, I have really taken a detour for four or five years.
"Mr. Jiang, do you need me for the group fight?"
When Kang Jingtao heard that he could be included in the group, he was the first to get excited without telling his brain. However, his excitement was not shown. Instead, he asked humbly if he needed me in the group.
This is the emotional intelligence of senior professionals. Now all workers across the country know that Pintuan is one of the companies with the highest employee benefits and salary levels, so he does not need to ask what he can get, but what the company has to offer. need me.
Jiang Qin looked at Travis: "In the future, I need someone who understands Uber in overseas markets."
Travis: "..."
Kang Jingtao pursed his lips and said, "I will report to the company on Monday."
Speaking of which, destiny is quite interesting. In order to raise funds, Lashou.com frantically emphasized its status as the king of group buying, and even pretended to hold a group buying conference and invited all parties to participate.
At that meeting, Jiang Qin once joked that he would arrange five insurances and one housing fund for Kang Jingtao.
At that time, group-building was unknown, and many people took this sentence as a joke, but now it has become a prophecy.
Jiang Qin withdrew his gaze again: "Old Te, the time has come, let's get on the road."
Travis told the driver to drive, but for some reason, the back of his neck felt a little cold.
Later, a group of two vehicles arrived at the airport.
Jiang Qin did not get out of the car, but watched Travis off through the window.
"His secretary is pretty good-looking."
After Jiang Qin finished speaking, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at the driver: "Don't tell your boss ladies what you just said!"
The driver swallowed: "Ming...I understand."
After Uber completely left China, someone calculated an account for them. This company from the United States spent a total of nearly 2 billion U.S. dollars in the domestic market, which is really worthy of the term "big spend".
At the end of the game, they took nothing away. They were like living Buddhas.
But some people say it’s wrong. Although Uber lost the market, it still exchanged 13% of Bibi’s equity.
Every time they heard such words, some outspoken people couldn't help but say it. Jiang Qin smiled and invited foreign capital out of the market, then quietly locked the door, planning to beat up his friend in the dark room. In this case, it is difficult to say whether Bibi’s equity will be worth anything in the future.
From February to April, this farce that was not a big deal finally showed that the weather has cleared up after the rain.
During these three months, Pintuan has successfully entered four regions: South Korea, Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong.
Before the New Year, the market research team had conducted a five-month investigation of these four markets, so the establishment this time was very smooth.
However, Pintuan did not start with group buying as in China, but with takeout.
Because according to previous market experience, the growth rate of the takeout industry is far faster than group buying, Pintuan changed the development order to takeout first and then group buying, which can save 50% of the development time.
So the overseas platform Keeta was officially launched.
South Korea's latitude is higher than China, so even though spring has arrived, Koreans still have to wear coats to keep warm.
In Cheongdam-dong, Seoul, a group of people in suits and leather shoes waved to each other on the street and got into their cars after parting.
"President, where are we going now?"
"Back to the company."
"Okay."
The German food delivery giant Delivery Hero, whose Chinese name is Waimai Chaoren, is currently doing well in South Korea. Liu Yihua, the former CEO of China, left China after being beaten up and transferred to South Korea to develop the market here.
Although the domestic performance is not good, Liu Yihua is experienced after all, and he has lived in South Korea for many years, so the company's boss still trusts him very much.
Of course, Liu Yihua did not live up to this trust.
After giving up the Chinese market in 2013, they spent two years developing their Korean business, which is now quite large.
To be honest, the business environment in South Korea is much friendlier than that in China. There are not so many people competing for it. As long as you can provide high-quality services, you can start quickly.
Liu Yihua didn't know what heaven is until he came here. In comparison, the involuted Chinese market is like hell.
When he returned to the Korean branch of Delivery Hero from Cheongdam-dong, it was lunch time and employees were eating at their workstations.
As a food delivery company, the employees of course eat Delivery Hero's food.
Liu Yihua smiled and walked by, greeting the grassroots employees, and suddenly stopped and looked at the food of one of the employees.
His food delivery box was covered with a plastic bag with the name and logo of Delivery Hero printed on it, which looked quite beautiful.
The efficiency of the publicity department is still quite good, and they have begun to unify the packaging and expand the brand influence.
Liu Yihua walked into his office and saw his secretary walking in with a stack of documents.
"President, a new food delivery company has recently appeared, called Keeta, and it is developing very fast."
"Local company?"
"No, they are from China."
Liu Yihua was slightly stunned after hearing this, and took the data sheet. When he saw the Keeta logo on the first page, his eyelids jumped instantly.
I don't know why, when he saw the bright yellow, he always had a sense of déjà vu.
Then, Liu Yihua continued to look back, and when he saw the name of Keeta's head office in this company, he felt like he was falling into an ice cave.
Liu Yihua's secretary is Korean. When he saw his face change drastically, he was slightly stunned. He didn't understand what happened to the president.
Delivery Hero has many years of market experience and has fought all over the world. Its resources and technology are at the forefront of the market. After entering Korea, it has been successful and has hardly encountered any opponents. Therefore, his solemnity puzzled the secretary.
But at this moment, there was a snapping sound from the takeaway in the office.
"Ah!"
The man who had just eaten the takeaway stood up from his workstation. His pants were full of soybean paste soup juice, and the keyboard on the table was also soaked.
The employee was very angry. While pulling out paper to wipe his pants, he moved the keyboard to the side.
The soup dripped down the edge of the table, and the floor turned into a sauce color.
Liu Yihua came out when he heard the sound and stood on the left side of the coffee bar. He looked at the employee who was furious, and then looked at the packaging bag that was cracked from the bottom. The chill he felt just now instantly rushed from his spine to his mind.
He felt that this market was being attacked by a thick fog full of murderous intent, grand and inescapable.
(Please give me a monthly ticket, please give me a monthly ticket, please have pity on Laocuo.)
