"A warm welcome to Forrest Gump!"

"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome!"

"Boss, you can issue an invoice!"

Contacting Uber through the channel expressed his intention to invest, Gan Jing unexpectedly felt a familiar atmosphere when he arrived at their company the next day.

What is the sense of déjà vu that Chinese leaders visited and inspected in the 80s and 90s?

Gan Jing secretly raised his vigilance in his heart, it seems that this company has a deeper routine than those companies before.

"Forrest Gump, I'm your fan. "A white man in his thirties is going to give a hug as soon as he comes up.

Gan Jing hurriedly took the initiative to hold his hands, forcefully stopped his impulse, and said with a smile: "You're Kalanick, right? ”

It's nice to meet you, it's nice to see you in a rags office in this middle of nowhere!

Well, I regret it!

As soon as he arrived at the Uber office, Gan Jing probably realized that this was a wrong move, and he didn't see the sense of technology from here at all.

In the taxi before, he listened to the master's serious sigh, saying that this Uber will definitely change the travel life, and it will be a perfect interaction between mobile Internet and offline.

It sounds like practitioners in the traditional industry are amazed by a new application that poses a threat to them, which has to arouse Gan Jing's curiosity, so he knows a little more.

It's just that the huge gap in Uber's office at the moment makes him feel a little blind.

"Forrest Gump, hero Forrest Gump, welcome. Please come in, my other partner is in New York to meet with investors, and he won't be back for a while. Kalanick was unabashedly happy.

"Uh, it's okay, it's okay. Gan Jing shook his head to show that he didn't mind, and then turned his head to look at the welcoming employees on both sides with a strange gaze, "What's going on?"

Kalanick was surprised when he heard the strangeness, "Don't you like this kind of welcome? I learned about it from a Huaxia Tong. ”

Shaking his lips, Gan Jing said in a deep voice: "He is in the wrong place......

"Ah, come in, sit down, sit down. Forrest Gump, I've watched your movie, but you're a fan. Kalanick put on a stance.

As a college dropout and repeated entrepreneurial failures, Kalanick has to be enthusiastic about investors, so he values Forrest Gump, who suddenly crossed over.

As long as you can invest money, it doesn't matter what you did before, and what you do in the future, as long as you have money.

"I heard Uber mentioned when I was taking a taxi, and I learned a little about it, can you tell me about your specific ideas and strategies?" Gan Jing had already given up a little in his heart, but even because of the polite attitude of the person in front of him, even if it was because he claimed to be his fan, he couldn't get up and leave immediately.

Kalanick has changed from enthusiasm to excitement, but any entrepreneur must be interested in his own products, otherwise he will not be able to support the fierce battle in the business world.

Dropping out of school and starting a business, Kalanick chose a path with a predecessor, the richest man in the world, who dreamed of a similar direction, but after a few years of entrepreneurship, he already had to fight for survival.

His current start-up project, Uber, is a mobile app that allows you to call a vehicle instantly through a mobile app.

It's easy to say, but it's not that easy to do.

With the ubiquity of cars in the United States and the variety of ways to get around, it was a challenge to get Uber into use alone.

But, if you have money, it will be easy to do.

After listening to Kalanick's methodical explanation, Gan Jing's heart changed a little, the person in front of him did not look unreliable like he did on the outside just now.

In just a few words, the company's projects and strategies are explained clearly and clearly, plus points!

In response to the popularity of automobiles in the United States, Kalanick put forward the idea of raising the level of car service provided by the company - not every American can afford to sit in a Lincoln City sedan, Cadillac, BMW, Mercedes-Benz......

Gan Jing was a little dumbfounded when he heard these words, and his feelings were like this at the level of this taxi now?

"Then how do you make money?" asked Gan Jing stupidly.

"Occupy the market first, and then talk about making money!" Kalanick was quite blunt, "Once the market is occupied, the money will naturally be there." ”

Seeing the skeptical look on Gan Jing's face, the white man continued to take out market research data, and according to their current testing, there is still a considerable market in California alone.

After a while, Gan Jing reacted to what he just said: "Do you mean to make a scale and carry out financing valuation?"

Kalanick smiled, it was the correct answer.

Gan Jing frowned, he was really a little surprised by Kalanick's straightforwardness, but also because of more points.

At the very least, this man didn't think he was a fool.

No comparison, no harm, Uber is quite sincere.

Gan Jing's previous thoughts of wanting to leave immediately had faded, he took the data and looked at it, he didn't understand it very well, thought for a while, and made a request: "Can I try it myself?"

"Huh?" Kalanick hesitated in surprise, "We're still in the testing stage, maybe the market feedback won't be so fast, and the empty rate will be relatively high." ”

"It's okay, I'm just going to try it for myself. ”

"That's fine. ”

Gan Jing was telling the truth, he always had to try it himself, so he went to the casino, opened the company, and came here.

……

The investor's demands could not be ignored, and the next day, Gan Jing drove into the Mercedes provided by Uber - Kalanick consciously ignored the fact that Forrest Gump did not have a driver's license.

So, actor Gan Jing turned into a driver and drove a brand-new Mercedes-Benz car that was positioned to work on the streets of California.

The car is not difficult to drive, as long as you receive the passengers, you will be on the right track, the key is that the passengers are sometimes not easy to find, and two of the four waves of guests who are willing to respect their own experience have been delayed for a long time because they can't find anyone.

After nearly a day, near dusk, Gan Jing slowly adapted to this kind of work.

"It's over after the last order. He looked at the time, intending to end the day's experience.

Soon, the last guest appeared, a black man.

A deep voice said the destination, and Gan Jing answered and started the car.

Halfway through the journey, the black man who had been sitting quietly in the passenger seat suddenly spoke: "I know you." ”

"Huh?" Gan Jing was concentrating on driving.

"You're Forrest Gump. The black man said in an affirmative tone, "You are that Forrest Gump, I have seen your "Mei Lanfang". ”

This time, Gan Jing was really taken aback, in a Mercedes Benz on the streets of California, a black man said that he had seen the Chinese art film "Mei Lanfang" starring him?

"Right...... I am. Gan Jing said hesitantly.

The black man's gaze was a little strange, and he said, "I have a good book, you can look at it, maybe it is more suitable for you." ”

“……”

I'm Gan Jing, I'm an actor, even if I'm wearing a hat, wearing work clothes, and driving a car on the street, it can't hide the brilliance of my actor in the slightest!
