Chapter 13: Unruly People

Who is Cheng Wei?

In the early days of Dudu Taxi's establishment, when it was only 800,000 yuan, it defeated Shake Taxi, which had received $3.5 million in financing, and successfully occupied the crucial Beijing market, which has always been praised, and Cheng Wei is therefore considered a "master of operation".

There are a few things you can do to get a glimpse of the leopard.

Shake Taxi once spent 300,000 yuan on the radio phone to put a long advertisement on itself, claiming how good its software is, and finally announced that it would hold an offline event in which hotels on a certain day in a certain month for on-site installation.

However, when it was time for the event, I found that there were very few drivers who went to participate, and after a check, I found that they all took a taxi and added a very brief sentence notice after their advertisements:

"Send an SMS to xxx now to get the download link."

The drivers couldn't tell the difference between Shake and Du, thinking that the two advertisements were the same, and they installed them all on the ground.

The second thing is that the daily taxi throughput of Beijing Airport is as high as tens of thousands of taels, which is the most ideal place to promote taxi software.

In order to win the Beijing Airport, Shake Taxi not only made a lot of money, but even introduced the airport group as its own investor.

Dudu, whose financial strength is far inferior, had to find another way, and instead of going through official channels, he spent 6,000 yuan to buy off the management of the parking lot of Beijing West Railway Station, and privately allowed them to set up stalls there to publicize.

The third thing is that this time the bitter master is finally not shaking.

Because many drivers did not have smartphones, another taxi software in Beijing at that time creatively came up with a way of "hardware binding software" to promote.

In other words, spending a lot of money to give each driver a PAD for carrying their own taxi app, thinking that they can put an end to the competition of other peers.

All of them directly let the technical department crack his pad, as long as the local push staff persuaded the driver, insert a USB flash drive to delete the original self-brought taxi app, and replace it with a taxi in Chengdu.

The above few things, it can only be said that Cheng Wei's opponents are very stupid, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with Du Du except for "wit"?

That's not the whole story.

Although this world has always been a king and a loser, those "fools" who were all taken by taxi PK and finally disappeared in the torrent of industry development have also left a word.

The regulator has interviewed several ride-hailing software companies together and required strict review of the operating qualifications of registered drivers.

The reason for this is to prevent "black cars" from taking customers in a grand manner through the formalization of taxi-hailing software, which will affect the order of the taxi industry.

Of course, several taxi software agreed, but when other companies seriously implemented the policy requirements, they found that they all took taxis over there.

For a small example, the Transportation Commission requires ride-hailing software to verify the driver's identity, and requires an ID card and an original service supervision to handle business.

However, the driver only needs to enter his name, taxi company, service supervision card number and license plate number to pass.

Relying on the "convenient registration process", all of them have attracted more drivers by taking a taxi.

No one knows if Dudu was interviewed again after taking a taxi, anyway, at that time, his opponents had been eliminated by market competition.

"He's an unruly man."

After personally understanding the other party's methods, Lin Yi reminded himself in his heart before meeting for the second time.

The two didn't go to Wang Xing's side to borrow a place this time, nor did they make an appointment with the office on either side, but still found a secluded place outside.

It's only been a few days since the last meeting, and Cheng Wei is still the same, but this time his attitude is very different from the last time.

Last time, he still wanted to turn a fight with Lin Yi into a jade silk, so he was very polite between his words, but now that everyone has made it clear that the carriage and horse are enemies, naturally there is nothing to talk about.

As the active inviter, it was Lin Yi who opened his mouth first, and what he said was: "I thought that Mr. Cheng had already set off for the south, is Shencheng Lin'an okay?" ”

Cheng Wei was expressionless: "Don't Lao Lin always bother, all of them are now taking a taxi and the development momentum is good, no matter which city it is, no competitor can shake our industry status." ”

"Really?"

Lin Yi sneered a little, "If Mr. Cheng is really so confident, why use such a means that can't be put on the table?" ”

Cheng Wei was still unmoved: "I don't understand what Mr. Lin is talking about. ”

Lin Yi took out his mobile phone and put it on the table, and lit it up for the other party to see.

"Is Cheng always afraid of me recording? I'm afraid this is a bit of a villain's heart. ”

"Since Mr. Cheng promised me to come out to meet this meeting, I think I still want to talk about something, so we don't need to be so pretentious."

Cheng Wei thought about it for a moment, and then said, "Please make it clear to Mr. Lin." ”

"Good!"

Lin Yi also straightened his sitting posture and began to enter the topic: "After the latest version of the taxi was updated the day before yesterday, a pop-up window would pop up when the driver grabbed the order and asked to uninstall the Wanli Travel in the mobile phone, Cheng Cheng would not know about it, right?" ”

Cheng Wei said: "Our latest update did include the ability to automatically detect and optimize the running speed. If your product is disposed of as unwanted software, have you ever considered that there is a problem with the product itself? ”

Maybe people really won't be able to talk well after wearing the mask for a long time, Lin Yi shook his head and gave up the idea of being honest with him.

"Mr. Cheng, the development team of the app was dug up by me from the bear factory, and it is not the work of students from secondary schools."

"I guess you guys must have put a lot of effort into finding this app from your phone and deleting it, right?"

"I just heard that the CTO of your company is also from the bear factory, why don't you let their peers communicate with each other?"

Of course, Lin Yi said this as a joke, he felt that he couldn't open his eyes and talk nonsense so calmly.

Cheng Wei's face turned black when he heard the "student works of secondary schools", this matter can be regarded as the black history of taking a taxi, but he quickly adjusted.

"There's no need for this, after all, everyone is a competitor, and when the time comes, whether it is stolen or some trade secrets are leaked, it will inevitably be melons and plums."

Lin Yi asked with a serious expression: "Mr. Cheng still knows that we are competitors, so now we all take a taxi to unload Wanli Travel in our mobile phones, won't this practice be melons and plums?" ”

Cheng Wei was still calm: "I will let the technical department verify the situation after Mr. Lin's reaction goes back, whether the mistake of our technical personnel caused the bug, this has to be verified before it can be determined." ”

"Of course, if it's true, we'll adjust as soon as possible."

Lin Yi was 100% sure that if he was allowed to go back to self-examination and self-correction, the result would definitely be nothing, and nothing would change.

Especially after this dealing.

So he asked bluntly: "How does Mr. Cheng plan to go back and adjust?" Actually, I think it would be more accurate to use corrections. ”

Cheng Wei's expression also became serious: "This is still an internal affair of all of us taking a taxi, does Mr. Lin even have to point fingers at this?" ”

Lin Yi looked at him and said: "It's not that I want to do things in the classroom, but I am rude in taking a taxi first, no matter where this matter goes, who do you think can say that you are reasonable?" ”

"Mr. Cheng, I don't want to go around the bush with you anymore, the reason why I came to you today is to solve the problem."

"You should know that since this little trick has been discovered by us, it is not difficult to solve it technically, and I came to you to give you a chance to reform yourself."

"If you are insincere, then I have to go back and solve it myself, and at the same time prepare to complain this matter to the relevant departments, and find some media friends to talk about the current problem of vicious competition in the industry."

The words have been picked so clearly, Cheng Wei is not good to continue to pretend to be stupid.

In fact, Cheng Wei knew from the beginning that this hand would not have much impact on Lin Yi, but when his subordinates made this suggestion, he still did not refuse.

He considered only two points.

The first is whether the outcome of this incident can be bearable? It seems that there will be some adverse effects on taking a taxi in Dudu, but it will not hurt the muscles and bones.

The second is whether it can hinder the development of Wanli Travel in Beijing? Although the effect may not be great, it can be counted as a day.

Cheng Wei knows very well that in this ever-changing industry, one day late will be one less opportunity.

The rickety that competed with him in the capital at the beginning is now dying and is about to disappear from the market.

It's a pity that Wanli Travel is both alert and keen, and it seems that there is no way to continue to insist on this small action so quickly.

This is the only thing he regrets.

"Mr. Lin seems to have a prejudice against all of us taking a taxi, since you say so, then I promise to deal with this problem as soon as I go back."

Lin Yi didn't break with him, but he didn't intend to give him ambiguous space, and directly stretched out a finger:

"One day!"

"I'm hoping to see tomorrow morning that Dudu Taxi has corrected this error, and I know you can do it."

Bugs are hard to find because they were created by accident, and they certainly know how to get rid of things that they worked so hard to make and then deliberately stuffed in.

Cheng Wei didn't find fault with Lin Yi's attitude, in his expected reaction, Lin Yi's current performance was relatively "gentle".

He still didn't say yes, because according to the initial statement, he should not have known.

"We will give Mr. Lin an answer."

After talking about this matter, the two who had never been friends had no interest in greetings, and left separately after saying goodbye to each other.

Cheng Wei was thinking when he left, so I am afraid that there is no way to prevent the emergence of Wanli Travel in the capital market.

In fact, he is mentally prepared, as long as he is willing to spend money, the capital is not an impregnable wall, and it is temporary to be able to monopolize it before.

It's just that he originally thought that he would counterattack the capital because he had just taken a Kuaidu taxi with $10 million from Factory A, but he didn't expect that there was Lin Yi, Cheng Biting Jin, who was killed halfway.

As for Lin Yi, he felt that his impression of Cheng Wei was refreshed again today.

This man doesn't seem to care much about decency and image, and he might be willing to take care of it if he can, but he values more than those things:

He's going to win.
