Chapter 333: A Driver with Feelings
A week after Uber's launch, the first batch of 10,000 chauffeurs to be audited and trained in Gangnam City officially began operations.
These 10,000 drivers are not full-time Uber drivers, most of them have jobs in this episode, for example, some people drive for leaders in the unit, some are white-collar workers in the office, and some are company bosses.
Most of them were very interested in the concept of Uber when they heard about it, and then went to the Galaxy Tower for an interview the next day.
Because Uber has a low barrier to entry, as long as you have a car.
However, the low threshold does not mean that anyone can become an Uber driver, considering the problems that have occurred on the earth, Qin Shi has strengthened management and attention in terms of drivers, and does not allow those who have a criminal record or have obvious problems to drive an Uber car.
Although Uber is a new mobility concept, it is still being promoted extremely quickly in Gangnam.
Since the press conference at West Lake Plaza that day, the number of downloads of the Uber app has exceeded one million in a week, which means that one million users are interested in Uber and download the software to get a taxi.
Huaxia has a population of 1.6 billion, and this million may not seem to be much at present, but Qin Shi is not worried, now Uber's promotion and marketing are mainly concentrated in Jiangnan City.
When the Uber car officially took orders on the road, major TV stations and media and some news newspapers sent people to follow up and report.
The first Uber car was driven by Qin Shi.
Of course, he drove his own Phorton.
Qin Shi was at the gate of the Galaxy Building, and successfully used the Uber mobile app to receive an order for passengers to go to the Tenglong Building from Fenghuang Road, which is across the street from the Galaxy Building.
After Qin Shi received the order, he drove to Fenghuang Road and arrived at the designated place.
This process was filmed by media tracking.
"Hey, hello, I'm at the traffic light now, I'm doing a double jump now, do you see?"
Qin Shi made a phone call to the passenger and double-jumped at the same time.
"Well, I saw you, I'm coming to you now."
A girl's voice came from the other side of the phone, judging from the voice, it should not be very old, because it sounded like a sense of youth.
"I saw you, wearing a sky-blue coat."
Qin Shi said on the phone.
"Well, that's right."
The phone said, and then the phone hung up.
At this time, the girl had already opened the passenger door and sat in.
"Hello, are you going to Tenglong Mansion?"
Qin Shi turned his head to the girl and said.
"Well, the Dragon's Mansion."
As soon as the girl got into the car, she looked down for something in her bag, and replied without looking up.
"Okay, please fasten your seatbelts, and we'll go."
Qin Shi reminded.
"Yes, okay."
The girl took out the headphones from her bag and fastened the seat belt very cooperatively, it seems that this is the headset she was looking for in the bag before.
Seeing that the girl was wearing a seat belt, Qin Shicai stepped on the accelerator and drove towards Longteng Building.
"Qin Shi, you are Qin Shi."
As soon as Qin Shi started the car and drove less than ten meters away, the girl looked at Qin Shi's face with a surprised face, and then said excitedly.
"I'm not dreaming, you're driving an Uber too."
The girl was very young, in her twenties, and looked like she should have graduated from school not long ago, and judging from the destination she was going to, the Tenglong Building, she should be a small office white-collar worker.
"Hehe, today is the first day of Uber's operation, and I want to show you how our Uber operates, and let everyone feel at ease."
Qin Shi saw that he was recognized, and said with a smile, his car is now equipped with surveillance, which means that the process of receiving orders will be filmed by the whole city.
"Oh, by the way, I'm going to tell you, because this is my first time driving an Uber, so I have a monitor in the car, and the whole process will be recorded, and it will be put on the news when the time comes, of course, if you mind, I can turn off the monitor."
Qin Shi looked straight ahead and said to the girl, he was still very cautious about Uber, because he felt that the prince would definitely use Uber to make a fuss.
Not to mention any big mistakes, even some details can't be grasped.
For example, now I take orders by myself, and the car is equipped with surveillance, because this video will be put on the Internet at that time, including many TV stations, as a promotional video.
But without the consent of the passengers in advance, it is actually an infringement to do so, and in order for the prince and those people to use this to make trouble for themselves, Qin Shi still has to ask the passengers in advance.
"Does that mean I'm going to be on TV?"
"Oh my God!"
The girl who knew the truth immediately covered her mouth and said excitedly and surprised.
"Yes, that's exactly what happened."
Qin Shi nodded and said.
"I don't mind, it's just that I'm worried that I didn't have time to put on makeup because I was in a hurry today, and it won't look good on TV then."
The girl said shyly.
"Don't worry about this, you're already beautiful, really, no worse than those stars who are often on TV."
Hearing the girl say this, Qin Shi also said with a smile, after all, it is a woman's nature to love beauty, but everyone loves beauty differently and in different ways, for example, Su Youxia also loves beauty, but she has enough confidence in her beauty, no matter what the occasion, she can maintain an elegant and calm appearance.
"Really?"
The girl is also a fan of Qin Shi, and when she heard her idol praise her beauty, her inner excitement was self-evident.
"Really, if you don't believe me, you'll stand on the street later, and the rate of turning back will definitely be super high."
Qin Shi said with a smile, he didn't open his eyes and talk nonsense, when the girl got in the car just now, he took a look, and he was indeed a very eye-catching beauty, very similar to Zhang Junning's temperament, which was pleasing to the eye.
"If you say that, Su Youxia will be jealous."
The girl blushed and joked that she didn't know why, although she was sitting in the same car with her idol, she felt like she had met an acquaintance, and there was no such tension.
Of course, the reason why she feels this way is related to Qin Shi's consistent pro-people style.
"It's okay, you're all beautiful."
Qin Shi said with a blushing face and a heartbeat, he is not too good in psychology now, and he can deal with all kinds of emergencies freely.
The girl chatted with Qin Shi like this, from homely to work, and then from work to the entertainment industry, Qin Shi was also very talkative, chatted with the girl all the way, and basically answered all the questions.
But about some gossip in the entertainment industry, Qin Shi politely refused.
For example, the girl said that she liked Hu Ge very much and asked herself if Hu Ge had a girlfriend, and for example, the girl said that she liked Zhang Junning very much, and asked herself whether the recent news on the Internet that Zhang Junning had a boyfriend was true or false.
These are all other people's **, Qin Shi naturally won't answer.
And most importantly, he doesn't know if Hu Ge has a girlfriend, although he says that Hu Ge is a good buddy now, but he really hasn't seen Hu Ge get close to any woman.
As for Zhang Junning's words, Qin Shi didn't know it, since the filming of "Follow Bell to Adventure", Qin Shi hadn't seen her for a long time since he said goodbye to Yanjing.
However, the two are still in touch on WeChat, and Zhang Junning will also send him a good morning and good night or something, and this time Uber's publicity, Zhang Junning also spared no effort to help Qin Shi.
The stars in Taiwan, Qin Shi knew a Jay Chou and a Zhang Junning, but driven by these two people, many celebrities over there also helped Uber to publicize.
So Qin Shi also plans to go to Taiwan when the time comes, ask these two people to help match, and he will be the east, and invite all the stars who help Uber promote to have a meal, which can be regarded as expressing gratitude, and at the same time, it can also broaden his network, he opened Shengshi Entertainment, and it is indispensable to deal with celebrities in the future, and naturally the more stars you know, the easier it will be.
"Qin Shi, can I ask you another question?"
After being refused to answer two questions by Qin Shi one after another, the girl asked with some trepidation, to be honest, she didn't know if Qin Shi would answer her own questions.
"Uh, just ask."
Qin Shi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, people are curious and gossip, this is understandable, he can understand.
"When will you and Su Youxia get married?"
The girl looked at Qin Shi with a look and asked.
“――”
"This, at the right time, you can."
Qin Shi thought for a while and said.
"Oh."
The girl replied.
"The Dragon's Mansion is coming soon."
In the midst of small talk, the girl's destination arrived.
"Oh."
The girl answered again, sounding like she had arrived at her destination, and she was not very happy.
Qin Shi listened to the car, then ran out of the car to open the car door for the girl.
Uber is all about great service.
"Goodbye!"
Qin Shi waved goodbye to the girl, how to say that the girl is also the first passenger since the launch of Uber, which has extraordinary significance.
"My name is Qiao Ling, and I'm glad to meet you today."
When saying goodbye, the girl suddenly stretched out her hand and said to Qin Shi.
"Qiao Ling, a nice name."
Qin Shi also stretched out his hand and shook it with the girl's hand, and a smile rippled at the corner of his mouth.
The girl withdrew her hand, turned and walked towards the Dragon's Tower.
Seeing that the girl was already walking towards the building, Qin Shi was also about to turn back, he was ready to take three orders today, and there were two more.
"That's right, Qin Shi."
At this moment, the girl suddenly turned around and shouted towards Qin Shi.
"Huh? Anything else? ”
Qin Shi asked.
"I have one more question, and although I know I shouldn't ask it, I can't resist asking it."
The girl bit her lip and plucked up her courage to speak.
"Then ask, life always requires courage."
Qin Shi didn't get bored by so many problems with girls, on the contrary, he admired the girl's character.
"When you and Su Youxia got married, could you invite me to your wedding? I like you very much, and I want to go and send you blessings on the spot. ”
The girl said loudly, she had mustered up the courage to say this, and after saying that, she had a feeling that her whole body was collapsed.
After listening to the girl's words, Qin Shi smiled, and his smile was very bright, just like the sun on the horizon at this time, bright and brilliant.
He really thought the girl was cute.
"Wouldn't he want to?"
Seeing that Qin Shi was just laughing and not speaking, the girl thought that Qin Shi had refused, and suddenly felt a little lost in her heart.
But the next moment, Qin Shi said loudly.
"When I get married to Youxia, I will definitely write an invitation to Ms. Qiao Ling to come to the wedding."
"And, hopefully, when the time comes, you'll be able to bring your significant other with you."
The girl listened, laughed when she listened, laughed and laughed and cried.
She cried not because she felt wronged, but because she was moved, she was so moved by Qin Shi.
There's no way, who let Qin Shi's words be so sensational, it's even more sensational than the best love words in the world.
"Okay, I'll go then."
The girl said happily.
"Don't cry, if you cry your face, it's not the most beautiful."
Qin Shi watched the girl cry, and also comforted.
"Gone, goodbye!"
After speaking, Qin Shi turned around and left, waving his hand with his back to the girl.
"Goodbye, Qin Shi."
The girl watched Qin Shi go away.
Qin Shi returned to his car, turned on his phone, and prepared to take the next order.
Qin Shi's conversation with the girl Qiao Ling was completely filmed and recorded by the TV reporter, and even Qin Shi didn't expect that such a girl he met by chance would become a fuse when he had a short contact with him.
One is the fuse for drivers to be willing to be Uber drivers, and the other is for passengers to be willing to choose Uber for travel.
The relationship between Qin Shi and the girl can be understood as the relationship between the driver and the passenger, and their conversation along the way, as well as the goodbye after getting off the car, make people feel a kind of warmth.
In the past, everyone took a taxi, and they didn't even see what the driver looked like, let alone chat.
But today, Qin Shi, the driver, and Qiao Ling, the passenger, show everyone a new relationship between drivers and passengers.
Drivers and passengers are human beings, both members of this society, and society is connected as a whole, and you can feel care and warmth from each other.
Uber makes people feel warm, not the cold of the previous taxi.
With such a taxi app and such a way of traveling, it is difficult not to be popular.
Even Qin Shi didn't expect that what happened between himself and Qiao Ling in this short half an hour would cause such a big repercussion after being made into a short video and uploaded to the Internet.
In the marketing science of later generations, the case of Qin Shi was also written in the book and became an incomparably classic marketing case! (To be continued.) )
