Chapter 686: Uber Officially Released!

Although Arab terrorists are very rampant, Henry has no way to teach them a lesson, but the reason why they have not been touched is because Henry has a bigger plan!

2008 is coming to an end, and at this time, the whole of Africa has joined the "Weiyuan" system, so it is time to start acting! Not long after, Henry sent an invitation to African countries to come to the Williams Empire on January 10, 2009 to hold a meeting of Weiyuan national leaders!

The time for a change is finally coming!!

Henry put down the phone and slowly came to the window, looking at the vanishing sunset in the distance, and the soft golden light shone on him, making him look so tall and majestic!

Eternal Emperor, Williams!

This situation and this scene seem to make people can't help but want to kneel in front of him and bow their heads!

……

Time passed little by little, and Christmas arrived on December 25, 2008. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoOn this day, the Uber mobile app was grandly released!

Offline, all Uber cars are uniformly painted, the logo is printed on the car, to distinguish it from other ordinary cars, and Uber drivers all drive to the street for publicity, those gorgeous Uber cars immediately attracted the attention of countless people!

Online, Uber cooperates with hundreds of Internet companies, and its ads have appeared on platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Google, ICQ, Instagram, LinkedIn, WeChat, Weibo, etc., in addition, Uber ads are also the first on the recommendation page of Apple stores and Android stores.

"When you go out to take a taxi, you can use the cheap and convenient Uber taxi app!!

"Uber is on call, a must-have artifact for going out!!"

"Download the Uber mobile app for the first time and get a $10 coupon. In addition, the top 10 million registered users worldwide will have a chance to win a $1 million mega prize!!"

"The best gift this Christmas - Uber ride-hailing app, you deserve !!"

“……”

Uber's ads are overwhelming, but anyone who uses a smartphone or surfs the Internet will see it. For a while, the number of downloads of Uber skyrocketed, with 2.345 million downloading users in just one hour. Three hours and 5 minutes later, the number of downloads exceeded 10 million!

Uber's taxi price surprised many people, not to mention the $10 coupon, the taxi price alone is nearly half the price of an ordinary taxi!

"I'll go, aren't Uber afraid of losing money? I calculated, if I use Uber to take a taxi, it will only cost about 4.55 US dollars for more than 20 kilometers, and if I take a taxi, I'm afraid it will cost 8 US dollars!"

"It's really cheap to get a taxi with Uber, and you can get a taxi in advance. I'm sure you've all experienced that when the traffic is busy, it's really hard to hail a taxi!"

"yes, I often wait on the side of the road for a long time and can't get a taxi!"

"Under normal circumstances, Uber cars will arrive at the taxi location within three minutes, which I think is quite fast and I can afford to wait. If you're lucky, an Uber car is nearby, you probably won't be !! for a minute."

"Actually, we can use Uber to hail a taxi before we go out, and when we go out, the car will almost arrive!"

In addition to the price of a taxi that attracts people, the million-dollar raffle is also particularly attractive.

Even if you have to draw from so many people, what if you are lucky enough to win?

By 6 p.m., the number of downloads from Uber had reached 10,000, and by the end of the day, the total number of downloads had exceeded 50 million, and the world couldn't help but look at it!!

Countless investment companies and Internet companies were stunned, but they didn't expect that a taxi software was born, and it was so awesome!

"It's so creative, Uber is the most creative Internet design of 2008, which genius designer designed it, I admire it so much!! "A senior Internet expert in the United States commented.

A Wall Street investment banker shouted in shock: "Oh God, it's unbelievable that Uber has created a legend of 50 million in just one day!" There is no doubt that it is the next unicorn!! oh, no, it is not a unicorn, but a super unicorn!!

The president of an Internet company in the United States couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I never thought that there would be a taxi software like uber, which is so creative!"

"President, Uber is so popular, our company also makes taxi software, right?"

“……”

The popularity of Uber immediately ignited the market for mobile Internet taxi software, and countless companies are ready to enter this industry!

In addition, Uber is a subsidiary of Tesla, Tesla is a global auto giant, Uber's existence can't help but feel a deep sense of crisis among other auto giants, and in the past few days, with the increasing number of Uber users, Toyota, Volkswagen, BMW, Daimler Automotive Group, Ford and other auto companies have plummeted, and the stock price of General Motors, which was acquired by Tesla, has increased significantly!

Vincent Jenkins, editor-in-chief of the famous American automobile magazine "Hot-Rod", pointed out the threat of Uber to other car companies! He believes that "Uber's success is Tesla's success, and Uber's monopoly of the global ride-hailing market means that Tesla can sell more cars with Uber!" Moreover, the existence of Uber will inevitably reduce some people's desire to buy cars, causing huge losses to other car companies, on the other hand, Tesla, on the other hand, can earn more through Uber's taxi fees! At present, taking a taxi through a mobile phone app has become unstoppable! Therefore, if Toyota, Volkswagen and other auto giants want to defeat Tesla, the only way to do this is to establish or support another taxi software company to form a confrontation with Uber !!

In fact, Toyota, Volkswagen and other companies have discussed in internal meetings whether to develop ride-hailing software similar to Uber, and there are even several car companies that intend to work together.

Obviously, in the near future, there will be a situation where Uber will have more than a dozen.

So what?

……

……

Early morning December 30, 2008.

Uber's number of download users has reached 10,000, and the growth rate has begun to slow down, but in fact, the first- and second-tier cities have not yet reached saturation, and the third, fourth, and fifth-tier cities still need to be vigorously developed! Next year, Uber will definitely have no problem surpassing 100 million users.

And because of the rise of Uber, it is bound to steal the business of a large number of taxi drivers. Many riders would rather use Uber to hail a taxi and wait for a while than pay extra for a taxi. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that it will not be long before the income of taxi drivers will drop sharply, and they will have to find another job in the end. At this time, Uber gave them a chance to join Uber and become an Uber full-time driver. In this way, Uber can expand very quickly!

In addition, although Uber is currently mainly engaged in car rental business, through this entry point, Uber will soon become a one-stop travel platform covering taxis, private cars, express cars, ride-hailing, substitute drivers, and buses.

In the future, Uber may become a super app with more than 1 billion users.

……

After an unusual Christmas, 2008 soon passed.

On January 1, 2009, the "Uber" logo image appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, and the words "The most innovative mobile app of 2008 are the Uber ride-hailing app, designed by Henry Williams!"
