Chapter 1716: The Dawn of Victory (Xie [Li Shugen] Reward !!)

If you can get the regulators to prosecute you, then success is not far off!

The words of JusticeF that popped up in his head made Nick suddenly feel the dawn of victory.

When Uber expanded its business to Washington, news appeared on Twitter that the taxi administration had declared Uber illegal in Washington, D.C., which obviously required the company to find a way to solve this trouble.

Of course, since this is Washington, everybody is interested in the story of the regulatory space, so the Washington Post and a lot of blogs are commenting on it, but they didn't expect the head-on conflict to come so quickly and so abruptly.

But what is going to come is always coming, face it, deal with it, solve it, that's it!

Facing the operators in the dispatch room, Nick, who was standing on the table, took a deep breath. "Stop taking orders? Why stop taking orders? This is a war! This is a war between us and the regulators where there is no room for negotiation and no compromise! Everyone is moving! You call every full-time driver and ask for a notification one by one! Tell our drivers that this is happening now, and we are 100% behind them! If something like this happens again, no matter what kind of ticket or summons, we will compensate them at the original price! We support them! We'll do our best to support them! Remember, be sure to tell our drivers clearly and clearly that they don't need to be afraid of such power......"

Speaking of which, Nick hammered his chest hard and said proudly. "As long as Uber hasn't been shut down, as long as I, Nick, can stand up, I'll take full responsibility for the injustice suffered by every driver!

Nick's quips swept away the dull atmosphere in the dispatch room, and all the operators lowered their heads and started to get busy, and Nick just stood at the table and scanned the room, only to jump down and say to his secretary two minutes later. "Get in touch with Adams and say the company will send a car to pick him up! Let him stay where he is, don't leave, don't panic! He's an Uber hero, I'm going to drive him back......"

The secretary started to make a phone call, and Nick drove quickly to the taxi management in the company's courtesy car, and the phone call he received on the way from the company's legal counsel made him more and more sure that his previous decision was not only the right one, but also the wisdom of it.

The officials of the taxi management agency, who were surrounded by the media, had already finished accepting media interviews and expressing their opinions, and turned their faces to find that the driver of Uber, who had been detained and received a ticket, had not even left, but was squatting in the corner of the taxi management building and smoking silently, so he walked over with a sneer. "Hey, why don't you leave? Don't tell me you don't even have the money to call a taxi! Didn't your big boss claim that he would make every Uber driver's wallet bulge?"

"We don't take cash from passengers, and all the proceeds are settled by the company, so I only have three dollars and eight ...... in my wallet now."

Adams's answer intrigued the reporters who had come with the taxi management officer, and six or seven microphones reached out in front of him, and the cameras were all aimed at him, asking about his original occupation, about his income as an Uber driver, and about his family and his children.

"The driver of the garbage truck gets paid $23 an hour, while I get $16 an hour, but I get $24 if I work overtime...... If I don't work overtime, my income is not enough to cover my family's expenses, but my daughter has worked very hard and her college application has been approved......"

Adams has never had the experience of dealing with the media, and Adams will naturally not be the opponent of the media reporters, and soon told his own situation, the situation at home, and the situation of the children, which also surprised the media reporters present, it turns out that in a city like Washington, D.C., there are Americans like Adams who live at the bottom of the society and only have time to take their children to church on Sundays all year round!

"Adams, you said that your daughter's grades are very good and her performance in school is very good, so why don't you apply to Ivy League colleges and SAR universities?"

A reporter's surprised inquiry made the honest and reticent Adams laugh, he shook his head and spread his hands. "I can't afford to study! The Ivy League is an aristocratic school, and even if I can get a full scholarship, I can't afford the living expenses and accommodation expenses......"

"You're lying! The Ivy League still has financial aid, and your daughter's application was not approved by the Ivy League University is the reason why your daughter can't get in, right?" the official of the taxi management agency who was watching coldly finally spoke, and he lined up the reporters to come to Adams. "Don't pretend to be pathetic and poor in front of the media, laziness and greed are the fundamental reasons why people like you can't find a decent job, my father graduated from Brown University, I also graduated from Brown University, I believe my son will definitely be able to enter Brown University......"

"That's why you're an official of the taxi management agency, and I'm an Uber driver at your mercy!"

Enraged, Adams roared, but his fist clenched and then released, a scene that was noticed by the observant reporters who were present, and the reporter who had questioned Adams earlier glared at the taxi authority officials and demanded that he apologize to Adams immediately!

"I apologize?

"Because your remarks are suspected of being insulting and racist! Moreover, questioning the character and ability of his daughter in front of a father, as a full-time employee of the federal government, your professional ethics and professional ethics must not be in line with your position! Of course, your family is an Ivy League graduate, but as a journalist with a conscience, I am ashamed that Brown University has produced graduates like you......"

When Nick, who arrives at the taxi authority, gets out of the limousine, he sees Adams, embarrassed but moved, and an embarrassed taxi authority official who refuses to apologize.

Nick straightened his collar and let Adams get into the car like an ordinary full-time driver, facing the cameras of reporters, he just smiled and identified himself, and then indifferently sat in the driver's seat around the rear of the car, fastened his seat belt, and then started the courtesy car and drove away......
