Chapter 353: Uber Launch

When Ding Lei and his party came to the nearby Qingju bicycle parking spot, they found that the place was surrounded by other people early.

"That's a lot of people!" Ding Lei sighed, and then his eyes couldn't help but look carefully at the green orange bicycle.

Compared with ordinary bicycles, the biggest feature of Qingju Bicycle is that a special device is made under the seat, and the electronic password lock and Internet positioning system should be installed inside, and users can unlock it by scanning the QR code on it.

At this time, a young man wearing a peaked cap completed a series of procedures, then got on a green orange bicycle and rode out of the crowd with an excited face.

"The quality of Qingju bicycles is better than ordinary bicycles, and it is very comfortable to ride!"

The young man said to his companion that the experience was very good.

Of course, the most satisfying thing for him is that it doesn't cost money to ride.

New users can enjoy three free rides, but the deposit still has to be paid, as long as 100 yuan, but the deposit can be withdrawn at any time.

After three free rides, the starting riding time is 1 yuan, each riding time does not exceed 30 minutes, and after 30 minutes, 1 yuan is charged for every 15 minutes.

The price is quite affordable.

In just two or three minutes, all the dozens of green orange bicycles at the parking point were ridden away.

It is not difficult to see that everyone's interest in shared bicycles is still quite large, many people have not ridden a bicycle for more than ten years, but at this time they are reliving their youth again!

At the same time, the green orange bicycles shuttling on the urban roads can't help but become a beautiful scenery of the city and the attention of passers-by.

……

On the same day, the Qingju bicycle became popular!!

And the airborne Weibo hot search list No. 1, causing a national heated discussion!

"Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom! When I woke up, I felt that the city roads were full of cyclists! Wujiang Group is too good, and it has made a new name! This shared bicycle is really popular, my friends around me are talking about it, and the emergence of shared bicycles is indeed beneficial to our people! ”

"The birth of Qingju bicycles has benefited the country and the people. First, the bicycle industry chain has been developed; second, green travel to reduce environmental pollution; Third, to solve the people's 'last mile' traffic needs, and fourth, cycling can also exercise! ”

"There are more and more rich people in China, and more and more people are buying cars, and the traffic congestion problem on urban roads has become more and more serious.

“……”

At 9 o'clock in the morning the next day, the Borderless Building.

Jie Youwei excitedly reported to Zhao Ye: "Zhao Dong, on the first day of the launch of the Qingju Bicycle APP, there were nearly 5 million downloads, more than 4.5 million registered users, and more than 2.41 million users who have ridden Qingju Bicycles!" Qingju Bicycle has made a huge start!! ”

Zhao Ye smiled when he heard this, nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed very successful!" Next, Qingju Bicycle can march into fourth- and fifth-tier cities and rural areas. The barrier to entry for bike sharing is relatively low, and I expect the competition to be fierce in the future. Qingju Bicycle must stake the ground and occupy a good lot before they go online! ”

"Understood! Zhao Dong, don't worry, we will definitely make persistent efforts! ”

"Well, you go get busy."

"Okay, Dong Zhao."

Jie Youwei said goodbye to Zhao Ye, turned around and walked out of the office.

Then, according to Zhao Ye's request, she began to make Qingju Bicycle expand wildly.

Because of the strong support of Wujiang Group, Qingju Bicycle has developed rapidly and shockingly.

In less than half a month, Qingju bicycles began to enter the fourth and fifth tier cities.

Many people originally envied that only big cities have Qingju bicycles, but they didn't expect that there are Qingju bicycles in their hometown and small counties.

Good guy, that's an excitement!

Young men and women in the small county town have ridden green orange bicycles and are at the forefront of the trend of the times......

Forehead! Many companies that are interested in taking a share of the pie in the field of shared bicycles are suddenly embarrassed at this time.

Qingju bicycles are about to occupy the national market, is it necessary for them to get involved? Not afraid of being run over?

It's terrible, it's overwhelming!

Give up halfway, and the initial investment will be wasted.

But if you keep doing it, the future is uncertain.

……

At the beginning of August, Qingju Bicycle reached a cooperation with Alipay, Facebook, and WeChat, and users can use Qingju Bicycle's travel services in Alipay, Facebook, and in it.

The three super apps drain the traffic for Qingju bicycles, which is simply invincible!

Just ask, are competitors on the market afraid?

Who else!!!

Sure enough, the three super apps have brought a large number of new users to Qingju Bicycle.

By the end of August, 150 million people had already used Qingju bicycles, and the deposit collected alone was as high as more than 15 billion yuan.

Qingju Bicycle's outstanding achievements have simply stunned the investment community and the Internet industry.

Everyone never thought that Qingju Bicycle would be so fierce!!

Silicon Valley, USA.

A white man looked at the news, his heart was surging, and he excitedly said to several entrepreneurial partners around him: "Look at this news, Qingju Bicycle under Wujiang Group has 15 billion yuan in deposits alone!" When we create Lime today, we will be able to succeed as well!! Lime can definitely become America's 'green bike'!! ”

Copying the creativity of the Chinese?

NO, this is not called plagiarism, this is called borrowing.

Can a business model be called plagiarism?

Wujiang Group can do bike sharing, why can't we American companies do bike sharing?

Kyrie Warren and his entrepreneurial friends are very excited at the moment, and their bike-sharing APP will soon be launched, so as to seize the first-mover advantage.

In other words, Silicon Valley in the United States has been copying products from China.

If there are any good ideas and products in China, Silicon Valley in the United States will copy them.

Therefore, Kyrie Warren does not feel that he has copied the idea of Qingju Bicycle, there is anything wrong, everyone is like this, and they are used to it.

The United States is a plagiarism country in the tech world, especially in the Internet sector.

"Kyrie Warren, our Lime software is very similar to Qingju Bike, I wonder if it can pass the review of Wujiang Group?" The companion said with some concern, after all, at present, the overlord of smart phones is Wujiang Group, and any app software that wants to enter the smartphone platform must pass the review of Wujiang Group.

Kyrie Warren said with a determined face: "No problem, Wujiang Group has never stuck other people's software in this regard, and the US Department of Justice does not allow it, Wujiang Group is very smart and will not let the US Department of Justice find an excuse." In addition......"

Kyrie Warren paused and said with a smile, "The Borderless Group is very arrogant and arrogant, and it is not afraid of competitors at all!" ”

When the business partners heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, if Wujiang Group really wants to enter the U.S. bike-sharing market, it won't give Lime a chance to get a head start.

Zhao Ye is not very optimistic about the shared bicycle market in the United States, the United States has a large land and resources, and the urban population is small, and there are less than 9 large cities with a population of more than one million, in addition to New York, which has a population of nearly 10 million, Los Angeles, which has the second largest population, has a population of more than 3 million.

Cities are large and have small populations, so you generally have to use a car to get around, and in the United States, without a car, it is difficult to walk an inch.

Riding a bike?

Just kidding, I'm tired to death.

I really think Americans like to ride bicycles for exercise......

Therefore, only a small number of cities in the United States can develop shared bicycles, but sharing bicycles pay attention to scale, small scale, and it is difficult to make profits, so it is basically difficult to make a profit in the United States.

There is no need for Wujiang Group to be full of food and support the development of shared bicycles in the United States, and subsidize money to create benefits for Americans.

Of course, at present, the sharing of bicycles is so popular, Lime will definitely be highly sought after by investment institutions, and high valuation is inevitable.

For entrepreneurs like Kyrie Warren, it can be a lot of money.

Only when the tide goes out will you know who is swimming naked......

……

Just as Kyrie Warren was preparing for the launch of Lime's bike-sharing software, Zhao Ye was also preparing to launch the ride-hailing app Uber.

Borderless Tower.

Feng Junhao, the head of Uber, came to Zhao Ye's office with a happy face.

"Dong Zhao, the Uber taxi software has been prepared and can be launched simultaneously in more than 100 countries around the world!"

"So far, we have recruited 500,000 full-time Uber ride-hailing drivers, all of which are Chinese cars provided by Tiangong Technology!"

"Of course, Uber taxi is also a product of the sharing economy model, and our goal is to let more car owners become Uber drivers, and they can use their own cars to take orders on Uber in their free time to make money......

When the words fell, Zhao Ye smiled and nodded: "Very good, as soon as the Uber taxi comes out, we can improve our travel service!" Mr. Feng, let's prepare for a press conference at the end of this month. On September 1st, Uber software was launched globally! ”

"Okay, Dong Zhao, I'll go and prepare right away!"

"Hmm."

Zhao Ye smiled and watched Feng Junhao leave.

The conditions for the initial development of Uber's ride-hailing software in this life are simply ridiculously good.

If nothing else, 500,000 full-time Uber drivers alone are more scary.

Uber's ride-hailing software can provide consumers with good travel services from the very beginning, giving people a good impression - high-end atmosphere and class!

Chinese brand cars can also gradually win the recognition of foreigners.

You know, so far, no Chinese car brand has been able to go abroad and sell well all over the world.

With the help of the Uber platform this time, China Motor will definitely be able to make a name for itself in the world.

Zhao Ye walked to the floor-to-ceiling window at this moment, looked into the distance with a beautiful vision, and muttered: "It's time for Chinese cars to start rising......

……

……

A few days later, the news that Wujiang Group was going to hold a major press conference spread far and wide, causing a great sensation.

On the evening of August 31, hundreds of well-known media outlets around the world sent reporters to attend the press conference.

In addition, many elites in the Internet industry and big names in the investment community also attended the conference.

Backstage of the press conference, Feng Junhao sorted out his clothes, looking excited and nervous.

Today's press conference has attracted great attention, and millions of viewers have tuned in to watch the live broadcast alone.

No one asked under the window for ten years, and he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop.

He was a Meipiao who struggled in Silicon Valley, although he graduated from an Ivy League university in the United States, although his ability is excellent, but in the white world, his ceiling ceiling is very low, and he has struggled for more than ten years, and he is just a project manager at the top.

It wasn't until he came to the Borderless Group that he soon got a great opportunity.

He became the CEO of the Uber ride-hailing app.

Feng Junhao took a deep breath, took the microphone from the staff's hand, and then walked to the stage with firm steps.

Coming to the center of the stage, Feng Junhao bowed slightly to everyone and introduced himself: "Hello everyone, welcome to the press conference of Wujiang Group, I am Feng Junhao, CEO of Uber, a subsidiary of Wujiang Group!! ”

As soon as the words fell, the audience immediately burst into applause.

"It seems that today's press conference should be related to the new subsidiary of Wujiang Group, Uber!"

"I don't know what Uber is, but it's certainly not ordinary!"

“……”

Everyone applauded and looked at Feng Junhao with anticipation.

Feng Junhao did not disappoint them.

At the next press conference, he introduced the Uber ride-hailing app in detail.

When everyone heard this, they were immediately surprised.

After sharing bicycles, Wujiang Group has launched a taxi software, which really has a deep understanding of the "sharing economy", and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is easy to say.

"Taxi software is a good idea, why didn't I think of it?" Some people in the audience beat their chests and stomped their feet, which was very regretful.

"If you can think of it, you're a billionaire! This taxi project seems to have a common future than shared bicycles, and you can see that the atmosphere at the scene is boiling! ”

"I think Uber is actually the real sharing economy model, you see, the shared bicycle is actually provided by Qingju Bicycle Company, there is a rental nature, it is not shared, but Uber is different, all car owners can apply to become Uber drivers, and then when there is nothing or when you are on the way, you can take orders to make money, it is simply the sharing model used to the fullest, it is really admirable!"

"Truly impressive! A lot of car owners will be more than happy to become Uber drivers, like me, if I'm going to drive to another city, then I can pick up a ride, so that my gas and highway tolls are settled, maybe I can earn a little more, hahaha......"

"Damn, that's awesome! My admiration for the Wujiang Group is like a surging river, endless, and like the Yellow River overflowing, it is out of control!! ”

Silicon Valley, USA.

The Lime founder team was completely stunned, we were just about to launch a shared bike, and Borderless Group began to play with more high-end things, which was a shame......
