Chapter 36 Imagining the Future of Car Rental Companies

"I just heard from you, a big problem of this company is the high idle rate of cars, I have such an idea, after the company stabilizes, I want to carry out Internet car business for it."

"If you want to expand in this area, it will burn even more money!" Li Rui hurriedly reminded Fu Hao: "Didn't you see the fate of Shenlong Car Rental?" They will start a special car business this year, and it will be more than 2 billion yuan in one burn! But the market hasn't been much bigger. In the field of special cars and carpooling, the monopoly situation in China is now stricter, I just watched the news a few days ago, and I got the fourth round of financing, 2 billion US dollars! It's crazy to burn money! They are almost going to monopolize this market now, and the dragon can't do it. There are also foreign UB special cars, predators with a market value of tens of billions of dollars, who are also eyeing the Chinese market. If you want to get a piece of the pie, it's harder than running a car rental business! ”

Fu Hao smiled: "The more difficult things are, the more interesting they are to do, and simple things don't do yet." ”

"I really don't understand you. With so much money, why don't you enjoy it? Li Rui was speechless and opened another bottle of wine.

Fu Hao drank wine and said: "Dude's life is not a life to enjoy, don't toss and toss, and feel uncomfortable." ”

"You cow." Li Rui gave Fu Hao a thumbs up: "I'm so convinced." ”

"Anyway, I think, no matter what you do, you have to dare to think first, if you don't even dare to think about it, then you don't have to do it."

Fu Hao retold his point of view: "Now in the domestic Internet car market, there is a fight between the gods, and the little ghost may be able to take advantage of the cracks." As long as we thoroughly understand the differentiated management, even if we are little ants, there will be a day when we can overthrow the elephant. ”

"So how do you want to differentiate your business?" Li Rui asked curiously.

"I haven't thought about the specific idea yet, but one thing is clear, that is, we must make this line of work benefit ordinary people. In the future, the Internet sharing economy will be the mainstream, and we must also develop in the direction of the sharing economy. You see, the most popular hitchhiker made by Kuaidi is a burning subsidy, which reduces the cost of ordinary people's rides, and all of a sudden it is impossible to find the north for Shenlong special cars and other special cars. I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it more extremely, and reduce the cost of a car for ordinary people to a lower level, or even for free. After having a car rental company, the cars are our own, unlike private cars, the price is set low, and other drivers are unwilling. After we have our own car, if I want to set as low a price, I will set as low a price, isn't it just burning money? Everyone is more than burning. Anyway, whoever benefits ordinary passengers more will have more market share. ”

After organizing his thoughts, Fu Hao said again: "Of course, we can't burn it indiscriminately, I'm thinking about how to make the application rate of the car higher." As far as I know, the most regular customer group who take a ride-sharing ride is the white-collar staff who leave work in the morning and evening. I was thinking that if a strong technical team could help to extract the information of passengers commuting to and from work who were very close to each other and at a close time, and arrange them to pick them up in a car, the cost would be greatly reduced. ”

Fu Hao told Li Rui: "The software company I applied for before, the technical team is good. After the business of the car rental company is stabilized, I want to dig up all the technical experts of that company, and we will set up a technical department to develop such mobile applications. Future technology and algorithms are the key, which is much more competitive than burning money.

"If we can do this well, we can also get venture capital. When there is more money in the future, we can also launch more new products and services such as substitute driving, buses, taxis, special cars, carpooling, and ride-sharing. At that time, as a large platform integrating a variety of means of transportation, these products and services can be connected to each other, redefined and combined according to application scenarios, and become the source entrance of O2O services.

"In the long run, we can also cooperate with finance and insurance to extend our business and enter the field of vehicle trading and second-hand car trading. The main business of car rental will also be greatly boosted by that time. After the market expands, there are many other businesses in the automotive aftermarket that can be done, such as car beauty, maintenance, car washing, etc.

"Now the domestic automobile industry, in addition to the production of this part of the formation of a brand effect, other areas almost have not formed a brand effect, these areas are promising. My idea is to start as a car rental company, and finally to run the O2O business through the entire automotive industry-related fields, and to be a king of the automotive aftermarket that does not produce cars, but is closely related to the automobile industry! ”

Li Rui smiled and praised: "Haha, you really dare to think!" ”

"It's okay, buddy, nothing else, just dare to think about it."

Fu Hao is telling the truth, because he writes online novels based on fantasy. He has thought about these things more than once, and he has written about them in online novels a long time ago. I just don't know what the results will be when I put it into practice.

No matter what the result is, he will try to do it in the direction he wants, because daring to think is always the first step to success. The Wright brothers would not have dared to think that there might be no airplanes in this world; Fidel would not have dared to think that mankind would not have had the first cable laid from under the Atlantic; If Jobs didn't dare to think that there would be no apples in the world; If Lei Xiaojun didn't dare to think that China would not be able to compete with Samsung and Apple.

Maybe a few decades later, if Fu Hao hadn't dared to think so much today, there would have been no birth of a great automobile group.

"Hammer, I'm determined to do this anyway, are you interested in doing it with me? You don't have to pay for it, you just have to be technical. In the future, the development of Internet applications will be the top priority of the company. ”

Fu Hao very much hoped that Li Rui could work with him. He came back from ten years later and knew very well that Li Rui was very talented in programming and computing.

This guy didn't go to work in his father's private capital company, but opened his own software company, and did a very good job in mobile phone applications. If Li Rui can do this with him, it will make their entrepreneurship have a brighter future.

Fu Hao wanted to pull Li Rui to do it, and he also considered another point - Li Rui had a good relationship with Liu Lin, the super senior sister of their Beihang School of Computer Science.

Li Rui is Liu Lin's apprentice on the Internet, if Li Rui can bring Liu Lin their company, then Fu Hao can say that their company is half the success! Because Liu Lin is completely the Jeff-Dean of the future China!

As the undisputed No.1 among future Chinese software architects, Liu Lin is completely god-like in the eyes of future Chinese programmers. With such a god in charge, their company's technical strength can definitely wrestle with any team in China

After listening to Fu Hao's imagination in the O2O field, Li Rui was stimulated by the technical challenges in it, and said with great interest: "Lao Fu, if you really want to make up your mind to do this, then I must do it with you!" I can't throw this mess of mine at you and leave it alone, then I'm not a brother! ”

"Haha, it's good to have your words, come, drink!"

Fu Hao drank with Li Rui heartily, and then he chatted with Li Rui about the current situation of the car rental company and imagined their development direction.

We chatted until half past four in the afternoon, and the two dispersed.

Before leaving, Fu Hao told Li Rui at the door of the teahouse: "Hammer, you should first ventilate this matter with your father, and I can basically say that I have bought the car rental company." But I still have to discuss this matter with my sister, my sister is on a business trip, and she will come back next Wednesday, and after I discuss it with her, this matter will almost be settled. When the time comes, let's go back to Xiwei together and discuss the details of the acquisition with your father in detail. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for your letter."

"What's the news, let's communicate on the phone at any time in the past two days, I have to be busy with the new home in the past two days, and I have to hurry up to support the new home. When you're done, please come over and play. ”

"Understood. Chasing Lin Yuting is your top priority now. You said before that sentence that if you want to marry, you will marry Lin Yuting, which is enough for special men! Don't let people down. ”

"That's not going to happen, I'm not a slut like Ji Renwei who gives up all the time."

"Don't be stinky and poor, go back quickly, we can't wait for the big class."

"No, she doesn't like me yet. She's got bags in her head, you know. Most people can't figure out what she's thinking. ”

"That's right, anyway, you should do your best, I'm optimistic about you."

"I'm also optimistic about myself." Fu Hao said casually: "Okay, I'm not poor with you, let's go." Something to call the Union. ”

After walking around the teahouse for more than ten minutes, Fu Hao returned to the Sun Garden, full of alcohol, but he was not drunk, only drank a few bottles of beer, which was really not a problem for his alcohol consumption. It was so hot that he was already sweating a lot, and he couldn't wait to take a shower.

When Fu Hao arrived home, Lin Yuting was still carefully choosing electrical appliances.

According to Fu Haoxuan's style, she chose all the electrical appliances she could think of that might need to be used in the future, including top-of-the-line juicers, fitness machines and other things.

She also saw a particularly interesting big bed on the Internet and wanted to buy it, but she had to ask Fu Hao's opinion on this matter. Because the style of this bed is too alternative, and it is slightly expensive, even the mattress will cost more than 40,000 yuan, and she is afraid that Fu Hao will not like it.

Hearing the door ringing, Lin Yuting immediately greeted her from the restaurant to the entrance and shouted, "Uncle Hao, you're finally back!" Come and see, I have a big bed I want to buy, I don't know if you like it or not. ”

"Buy as long as you like, and what you like is what I like. Don't ask me. Turning around from the entrance, as soon as he saw Lin Yuting, Fu Hao's eyes lit up.
