Chapter 16 Online Car-hailing
Winters in Ben Thanh are very cold, and taxis are especially difficult to get when it snows. Forget about carpooling, the most disturbing thing is that this does not go, that does not pull.
If you say that online taxi hailing is dispensable for people in other cities. For the people of Bencheng, it is a kind of just need, especially in winter.
Standing on the street in the bitter cold wind to stop a taxi is not an ordinary sin!
Lu Yan decided to let online car-hailing be born half a year ahead of schedule.
Back at the Ruan family's villa, Lu Yan went back to his room.
Although Xiao Wanru and Ruan Qinghe are looking forward to the two children getting married as soon as possible. But if you don't get a certificate for a day, under the noses of your parents, it's hard to live in a house.
So Lu Yan lived in a room by himself every time, lay on the bed after washing, and his thoughts entered the system template in his mind.
Entering the Tianzhu module, I used 100 money points and 100 knowledge points to exchange for a slightly more mature taxi software.
This thing is not difficult to make, and Cheng Wei in another time and space only spent 80,000 yuan to develop the first taxi software.
After exchanging the technology of the software, he took the time to knock on the code, so that it could be transformed from the data code in Lu Yan's mind into the real software.
The next day, Lu Yan asked Vice Mayor Huang, who was in charge of attracting investment.
He has chatted with Lu Yan a few times before and after, and has always hoped to help Bincheng recruit a star company. Preferably like penguins, Ahri, and thousands.
If it is an investment, I also hope that it will be a high-tech enterprise that the state attaches great importance to, such as Eternal Software.
It's a pity that Lu Yan just took the Ruan family and partnered with a real estate company that was not very big, with a posture of leading everyone to make a fortune, he was really called Vice Mayor Huang, and he couldn't arouse his interest.
If it weren't for Lu Yan's net worth of 1 billion yuan and huge influence, Vice Mayor Huang would not have paid attention to that disgusting small real estate company alone.
But now, when I heard that Lu Yan took the initiative to invite, I couldn't help but move in my heart, and secretly wondered: "This little slippery head has never been very fond of the government, and today he took the initiative to come over, is there something to ask for? No, or does he have a new investment idea?"
Thinking of this, Vice Mayor Huang immediately agreed to meet Lu Yan in the afternoon.
When the time was up, a secretary led Lu Yan into the door.
"Hello mayor, I'm taking the liberty to come to the door, so I won't delay your work!"
Vice Mayor Huang is less than fifty, but he looks very young, and his smile is also very friendly, and he said: "You are a big entrepreneur, and I am in charge of attracting investment.
Lu Yan smiled shyly and said, "I really have some ideas, that's the case, I've been driving around for the past few days, and I found that many citizens have difficulty taking a taxi!"
Vice Mayor Huang was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart: "What, do you still want to enter the taxi field?"
But on second thought, it definitely won't. After a moment of thought, he said, "You don't want to connect the taxi with the Internet, right?"
Lu Yan smiled: "The mayor is aware of everything, I, that's what I mean! I plan to set up a taxi software company in Bincheng, and the investment will be set up at 200 million first." β
The reason why he came here was naturally because he wanted some tax incentives and support policies.
If the city is willing to give, the taxi platform company will be registered in Bincheng.
If the city refuses to give, it is ready to register the new company in the capital.
Fortunately, the deputy mayor did not disappoint him, and asked: "This thing, how is it moderate?"
Lu Yan smiled: "It's nothing, it's just to write an APP software, the user downloads the passenger version, and the driver downloads the driver's version." Passengers post taxi information, and drivers take orders through the software!"
Vice Mayor Huang frowned slightly when he heard this, and felt that he seemed to be very powerful, but he was not particularly powerful.
There are only so many taxi drivers in Ben City, so how about you add a software?
But Lu Yan is now a well-known "civil and military shuangquan", with "Shenzhou mobile phone", "Meituan", and "Kunlun chip" under his command, and the business model he proposed should not be so, naΓ―ve, right?
After thinking for a while, he tried to say: "This, it should be more than that! Even those taxi drivers in Bincheng can't improve much efficiency if they install the taxi software you said!"
Lu Yan smiled: "Indeed, in fact, my target group of drivers is private car drivers. β
Vice Mayor Huang was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at Lu Yan, his eyes were a little stern, and said, "That's an illegal operation!"
Lu Yan said: "Mayor, you think so, the country advocates energy conservation and emission reduction, green travel. And many private cars, while commuting to work, use taxi software to piggyback passengers on the way and charge a little gas money.
In this way, it can not only allow private cars to get fuel subsidies, but also relieve traffic pressure, but it is a good thing for all parties to win!"
Hearing this, Vice Mayor Huang nodded slightly, but did not immediately express his position.
Lu Yan knew that there was a play, and he smiled and drew a big cake.
In addition to burning money to grab the market, it is also very convenient to have a good relationship with the local government in the early stage.
Especially when the definition of online car-hailing and "illegal operation" is blurred, hitchhiking is mainly caught operating illegally at every turn, and if it is fined tens of thousands of yuan, there are really few car owners who can resist.
And this kind of thing is not uncommon in the development process of Didi and Kuaidi.
In 2016, there was also a Didi car owner in Yangcheng, who was found to be operating illegally by the Municipal Transportation Commission and had to be fined 30,000 yuan. Fortunately, the court's judgment was that the Municipal Communications Commission lost the case.
If the Bincheng City Government can vigorously support him, I believe that Lu Yan's taxi-hailing software company will start much more smoothly.
"How can the safety of passengers be guaranteed?"
"You can strictly check the driver's application review, have driving experience requirements, and have not had an accident. In addition, when it was first launched, only the urban line was opened, and there was the latest order time, one-key alarm, etc. β
Vice Mayor Huang was very surprised, and said in his heart: "I just asked like this, you think quite a lot!"
After a while, he finally asked what he had always wanted to ask, "If this company grows bigger, how far can it go?"
Lu Yan smiled: "Tens of billions of revenue a year, it's still no problem!" He didn't dare to say too much.
But Vice Mayor Huang is still breathless. Tens of billions, Sanjiang City's annual GDP output value is more than 50 billion!
"In addition, after the enterprise is done, it will need a large number of promotion personnel, administrative personnel and customer service personnel!" Lu Yan explained.
Vice Mayor Huang thought about it for a while, and finally decided: "Xiao Lu, I support you, and I hope that you can create a big company comparable to penguins and Ahri in Bincheng! β
There is no way, the private economy in the Northeast is underdeveloped, and there are really few decent ones.
Lu Yan smiled: "Don't worry, I've thought about it, I'll take 200 million yuan out to burn money to occupy the market, and then introduce venture capital!"
Vice Mayor Huang listened to the words and felt his heart pound again. Take 200 million to burn, are today's big entrepreneurs so arrogant?
He originally wanted to introduce two young talents to Lu Yan, but when he heard this, ordinary people couldn't afford to play this business at all!
At the same time, he was afraid of provoking Lu Yan's dissatisfaction and settling this project in another city, then he would lose money.
Attracting investment, this is all his political achievement!
