When Lin Yi hadn't convinced his CFO, there was another message from Uber.

Kalanick was indicted in South Korea.

The reason was that the Uber company of which he was the CEO launched the UberX business in South Korea, which was suspected of allowing private vehicles without operating qualifications to carry services.

To put it simply, it is to drive a black car.

From a factual point of view, there is no problem, because the essence of private cars engaging in online car-hailing business is to use black cars on the Internet.

From the very beginning, Kalanick made no secret of his stated goal of eliminating the outdated taxi industry.

There is indeed a big problem in the taxi industry, which Lin Yi realized when he was almost hijacked by a taxi in Shencheng.

However, there is another problem with online car-hailing, which is that it has always been on the edge of the law since its birth.

Uber was not called Uber at the beginning, but UberCab, and the suffix Cab means taxi in English.

So after UberCab went online, I received a notice from the San Francisco Transportation Department, saying that since you are called CAB, it belongs to the taxi business, and you are in charge of it.

Kalanick says fuck off!

He simply removed the cab from the ubercab and threw the San Francisco Transportation Authority's notice into the trash, not bothering to pay attention to it.

The character of this person can be seen.

Kalanick's image as a madman comes largely from his many sharp encounters with regulators across the United States and around the world, and his complete disregard for the laws of various countries.

To a certain extent, Cheng Wei's small actions of yang and yin are just learning from the advanced experience of his predecessors in the industry, and his nature does not seem to be a big deal compared to this one.

Anyway, for this kind of knife sent to the door, Lin Yi felt that if he didn't stab the uber, he couldn't afford to feel sorry in his heart.

Liu Jianni finally agreed to Lin Yi's plan, but spent a lot of effort on the implementation plan.

For example, she didn't let Lin Yi herself or a serious executive like herself come forward to spray uber, but found a public relations director at the bottom, and "accidentally" revealed her views on her peers in an interview:

"We think Uber is a very unruly company with a long history of breaking the law in several countries around the world.

Kalanick's indictment in South Korea is just one of the small examples, but as South Korea's closest neighbors, we can relate to the unbridled arrogance of multinational corporations.

Personally, I don't think that the so-called technological innovation is a reason for any company to trample on the law and do whatever it wants, not to mention that Uber has no respect for life, which can be called a careless management of human life.

In a recent case of Uber driver raping a female passenger in India, we haven't seen any deep reflection on this issue or any improvement on it.

They just prevaricate and insist that this is just an incident, but they are unwilling to respond positively to what responsibility Uber should take for the safety of its passengers.

Especially as a woman, I don't feel the slightest trust in the Uber brand.

I don't think I'll ever use Uber myself, and I wouldn't recommend my female friends to use Uber......"

Of course, the publication of this report was not "accidental", but it was decided after a long time of careful and careful consideration.

If the parties concerned are unwilling, it is impossible for the media to publish a single word.

According to Liu Jianni's request, the full text stated that it was not the official evaluation of Wanli Travel, but the opinion of the public relations director "in his personal capacity".

This is just a small means of safety isolation from the legal level, in fact, as long as the heart is not blind, everyone knows what is going on.

As the most watched taxi-hailing software in the technology industry this year, Wanli Chuxing's blatant criticism of Uber is of course a bad idea, which immediately detonated the field of public opinion.

Not to mention that experts and media from all walks of life have to jump out and get involved, what "innovation is to break the convention", what "online car-hailing is not a place outside the law", noisy and shouting.

The reaction on the Internet is more interesting, every time there is such a topic, there is a group of three no-nos who don't know where they came out to sneer, but they can still stand up to a high degree of heat.

"How does Wanli Travel have the face to say Uber, isn't the domestic taxi software developed by copying the creativity of other American companies? I haven't asked you for royalties yet! ”

Install the latest version. 】

"If Uber is illegal, then under what law are Wanli Chuxing and other taxi companies operating, fifty steps and a hundred steps?"

The only thing they avoided was Uber's incident in India, because there had been no such major safety incidents since Wanli went online.

Lin Yi naturally doesn't take these on the Internet that I don't know if it's a real person, but Uber reacted quickly.

They immediately announced that they had skipped the direct speech of the public relations director to sue Wanli Travel in the name of "defaming and damaging Uber's reputation".

This reaction was in the pre-flight before the trip, of course, they would not push their employees to the front desk to stand up to the mines, and were ready to actively respond to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit itself doesn't matter.

If delaying tactics are adopted, this kind of eucalyptus will not be judged in a year or two, and the industry pattern may have been turned upside down at that time.

Uber directly targeted Wanli Travel, and one advantage for the media is that they can ask for an interview in the name of a time.

Wanli Travel did not say much about this, but said that "I do not think that the company has any fault, and has taken all necessary legal means, subject to the court judgment." ”

Everyone regrets that this is the end of the matter?

Of course not.

Soon, although Lin Yiren did not directly respond to this incident in an interview, he did not name him.

"Many people say that I am the youngest successful entrepreneur, but I never encourage young people to worship or imitate me, because I know how many pounds and taels I have, and I also know that the development of Wanlichu to this day depends on the efforts of too many people."

"But some entrepreneurs may have lost their minds under the excessive pursuit of the market, and only arrogance and arrogance are left in their minds."

"I've had two entrepreneurial experiences, both of which are classified in the technology industry, which is actually more accurate business model innovation, but I never think that I or my peers should have any privileges above the law."

"Entrepreneur, that's a very novel title, but whatever his name, what's so great about the identity?"

"Will he be able to live without whole grains or will he be able to ascend in place, will he get rid of all the low-level human tastes or will he evolve into another species through reproductive isolation?"

"When an entrepreneur claims that it is the conservative and backward society or the ignorance and short-sightedness of the people that hinder his innovation, who gives him the qualifications to do such a challenge?"

"The law is supposed to be the greatest consensus in society, but it will certainly have inherent flaws, as well as lags that have developed with the progress of the times."

"But in any case, it is the bottom line that our society should and can only adhere to, and before we update this consensus, who has the right to judge and decide for everyone what is advanced and what is right?"

"If someone kills, sets fires, or rapes and plunders, we usually call them extralegal fanatics and will not hesitate to punish them with the law."

"But when entrepreneurs break this rule, they seem to be able to hold the gold medal for avoiding death and get extra tolerance."

"What is this called, Extrajudicial Grace?"
