Chapter 86: The car hits the road

Han Xue waited left and right without waiting for Lin Yi's reply, and then had to search for the names of the two people together in boredom.

The name Gu Caiwei is now highly recognized by the public, especially among teenagers whose idol culture is more popular.

Although Lin Yi has been on a lot of news, he is only a little famous in the entrepreneurial circle.

Theoretically, the intersection of these two circles is very small, and the number of people who will pay attention to both at the same time is very limited, if not completely absent.

However, Han Xue still saw someone pointing out this problem in some remote corners of the Internet:

"What a coincidence, I just found out that the founder of Wanli Travel graduated from the same high school as Gu Caiwei, who exploded this year!"

However, without exception, the news mentioning these two people at the same time is not hot, and there are basically few replies.

If this result is seen by ordinary netizens, it will not be strange, because they are two fields that are not related, what can graduating from the same high school mean?

If you have a local student, you have to leave a message: "Linzhong is the best high school, and there are many talents from all walks of life, which is amazing." ”

But Han Xue is now preconceived to observe, and feels that this news has no discussion at all, no matter which forum it is sent out, it must have been artificially interfered with.

She guessed right.

Peng Yuchen's public opinion monitoring of the members of his own girl group, especially Gu Caiwei, is 24 hours a day, and if there is an abnormality, an alarm will be issued at any time.

The news that Han Xue found was deliberately left by Peng Yuchen, after all, it is all public information that is difficult to hide, and if it is deleted too blatantly, it will be a bit of a silver three hundred taels here.

But if there is any mention of the news that "the two of them are still classmates", they will all be blocked by Peng Yuchen by finding a way.

In short, Peng Yuchen spent 120 minutes of caution in covering up the relationship between these two people.

So after Han Xue broke the eucalyptus here and made a threat, what was Lin Yi, who received the message and didn't reply, doing?

He's sleeping.

It wasn't until the next morning that Lin Yi woke up and saw the message sent by Han Xue, and then casually threw it aside and didn't take it seriously.

Because Han Xue's personality is more elusive, he feels that if he can't keep it, he can't sleep because he can't sleep, so he may be able to tease himself.

Given that Han Xue had a certain opinion of herself because of her senior sister's affairs, Lin Yi tried not to dislike her in front of her.

Anyway, I didn't plan to deal with it.

Han Xue really didn't harass him with this sentence anymore, and when the two met in the company, Lin Yi didn't find anything abnormal, so he didn't take it to heart anymore.

Well, except that the look in her eyes just now seemed a little weird.

……

Lin Yi and Liu Jianni went all the way to the United States, and after they came back, they had a lot of things to deal with, and the first thing was the special car business that they arranged before they left.

When I was in the United States, my sister made a special call to report the good news:

"The special car business has been approved by the above, and the regulatory authorities have put forward a requirement, that is, the unit price of mileage is at least 30% higher than that of taxis, and there is a misplaced competition with existing taxis."

The essence of this requirement is that the new car business launched by Wanli Travel and other taxi-hailing software can only serve high-end customers.

Because if the price is determined to be similar to that of a taxi, and there is no threshold for anyone to register, then the taxi license is not worthless?

Neither the taxi company nor the taxi driver can accept this situation.

This is actually a need for the reconciliation of interests, Lin Yi has been psychologically prepared and able to accept it, and the special car business of Wanli Travel is also prepared according to this idea.

Now that he can get this permission, he has some thoughts hidden in his heart that he hasn't shared with a few other people.

That is, even if the policy does not allow it, he does not plan to wait any longer, and directly forcibly launches the car business.

Because time is running out for them.

The big deal is to pay the fine, didn't they all take a taxi and operate in Pengcheng with a fine, but I can't do it?

Lin Yi dared to do this also from the conviction in his heart, he knew that this was the trend of the times, and the so-called innovation was to take one or two more steps than others, what's wrong?

Anyway, it was a good thing that the above agreed, and Lin Yi didn't want to take such a needless risk if the conditions permitted.

"There is no problem with the high-end business of private cars, and Uber's early success is enough to prove that there is a market demand for this service, and there are enough potential customers in the big cities of China."

Uber is a German-language word that was originally conceived as an "elegant German car," but when it was launched in San Francisco, it was adapted to the Lincoln city car, which is more common there.

If you use a high-end car and have an additional service such as helping to open the door, then the customers are naturally not ordinary middle class, but generally the upper middle class with a solid family or simply a wealthy person.

Uber was so popular in the early days that, in addition to the Bay Area's geeks who were particularly welcoming the idea of hailing a taxi on their mobile phones, its passengers were also either rich or expensive.

A group of customers with status and status became loyal fans after using Uber, and then helped the company take off in various ways.

This line of business later developed into UberBlack, which was named mainly because of the mostly black vans that provided the service.

Like the habits of many American companies, Uber's business is also promoted "from the top down", covering business lines from high-end to low-end.

They have studied these things for a long time, and what Li Moyan is talking about now is very practical things:

"In the process of communicating with the regulatory authorities, I have taken the lead in setting up the company's special car division, and according to the previous plan, the first step is to start in the four first-tier cities of Beijing, Shenyangpeng."

"Our teams in four cities have already negotiated with a number of car rental companies to offer vacant premium cars and receive orders through the Wanli Travel app, all of which are significantly higher than taxis in terms of starting prices and mileage."

"Part of the driver's words are provided by the car rental company, and they can also be hired through a third-party labor company, and there is no labor relationship with Wanli Travel."

"The operation team is ready to go online at any time, and we have preliminarily selected the time of August 1, when there will be a complete set of promotion measures."

"Generally speaking, it is to issue some special car trial red envelopes to users who use it frequently, so that they can experience more comfortable models and more detailed special car services, and if the economic ability is sufficient, they can be converted into special car customers in the future."

Lin Yi asked Wang Kai: "How is the preparation at this end of the product?" ”

Wang Kai replied affirmatively: "I have been ready for a long time, and I have added a new function to the original Wanli Travel APP, adding a checkable button to select a taxi or special car before placing an order." ”

"In the week after the launch, the special car button will be highlighted for the promotion campaign, but it will not be checked by default for users."

Lin Yi didn't add anything to these step-by-step arrangements, he just reminded his senior sister of one thing:

"The taxi driver told the operation team to do a good job of reassuring, even if we have done a lot of work, they may not understand, if the driver makes a fuss, we must be prepared first."

After this exhortation, Wanli Travel finally announced the launch of the special car service on August 1, which is the first in the industry.
