Chapter 354 is popular all over the world
On September 1, the Uber ride-hailing app was launched around the world, which immediately attracted a large number of users to download.
Experimentation is a common trait for many people, and curiosity drives them to explore new things.
In less than half an hour, the number of downloads of Uber exceeded 1.5 million, of which more than 50,000 users applied to become Uber drivers.
However, Uber's vetting of drivers is very serious, requiring various qualifications and at the same time, it must also install Uber-provided in-car cameras to ensure the safety of Uber drivers and passengers. The camera can be purchased at the Borderless flagship store.
Zhao Ye pays great attention to the security behind the Uber taxi software, in his previous life, there were many incidents of passengers being sexually assaulted by drivers or passengers robbing drivers, if there are cameras to monitor, at least it can deter drivers and passengers psychologically.
Of course, the in-car camera does not abuse the user's personal information, and only activates and turns on the camera when the Uber driver intends to take a ticket, and the camera is usually turned off to protect the user's privacy in the car.
In addition, the Uber software also has a "one-click alarm" function, not only the police will be the first to call the police, but Uber will also do its best to ensure the safety of passengers or drivers.
Therefore, at present, other drivers can apply to become Uber drivers before installing Uber's customized version of the camera in the car, but they cannot take orders.
The camera must be activated to take orders.
But fortunately, Uber has made sufficient preparations in advance and recruited half a million full-time Uber drivers.
Don't look at the number of drivers, but there are not many scattered around the world.
When these drivers hired for the company, they initially thought they were driving taxis, but they didn't know their true occupation until three days before Uber's official launch.
When a full-time Uber driver is paid much more than they drive a taxi, everyone is happy, not only with a good guaranteed salary, but also with incentives for taking orders.
Company executives told them that the more users Uber had, the more orders they could take in a day, and they were basically either on or on their way. Driving a taxi is different, it is difficult to guarantee that there will always be customers, sometimes the whole day is running blindly, the guests do not receive a few, but the gas money is burned a lot.
On September 1, half a million Uber drivers were ready to go.
After three days of training, everyone was proficient in using Uber taxi software to take orders, and they all looked forward to making money by taking orders.
"Oh God, being a full-time Uber driver must be the greatest luck of my life!!" A black American driver said excitedly that after Uber was launched, the number of users increased wildly, and he watched his adrenaline surge.
The more users Uber has, the more money they make as drivers.
In a short time, the black driver's smartphone emitted a 15-second order prompt sound.
When the black driver heard the noise, he excitedly opened the Uber app.
In the Uber driver app interface, the system reminds him that he has a suitable order and asks if he wants to take the order.
The black driver chooses to take the order as soon as possible, the customer is closest to him, and the system also plans the optimal route, and after three minutes, he can arrive at the customer's location.
Sidney O'Neal is the owner of this list, he is a fan of the Borderless Group, and has always paid close attention to the dynamics of the Borderless Group, how can he not know about the release of Uber? So, on September 1, he immediately downloaded the UberAPP from the HarmonyOS software store.
New Uber users, get three half-price taxi coupons.
Once Sidney O'Neill signed up for an Uber account, he couldn't wait to try the ride-hailing service.
It's around 8 o'clock in the morning, and he usually drives his own car to work, but today he chooses to take a taxi to work through the Uber app.
"Ding!! Hello Mr. O'Neal, there is already an Uber driver who has chosen to take the order and is on his way to your location, please wait a moment! ”
Sidney O'Neal's Uber username is O'Neal.
When he heard the tone, he was surprised that the Uber driver was really fast.
And what surprised him even more was that he could see the location of the Uber driver who took the order and the expected time to arrive.
"Oh, I can also see the location and estimated arrival time of the Uber driver, it's perfect! I don't have to wait stupidly, I can do something else before the driver comes, it's really spicy!! Sidney O'Neill couldn't help but praise!
In fact, there have been taxi companies in the United States for a long time, but taxi prices are very expensive, and it takes a long time for the taxi company's vehicles to reach the user.
And using Uber's taxi service, not to mention the cheapness, and the wait time is only a few minutes, which is incredible!
A few minutes later, Sidney O'Neill happily boarded a Zhonghua car with the Uber logo printed on it and went to work......
The comfortable ride is very pleasant.
"Hey buddy, what brand is this car? It felt amazing, even more comfortable than my old Ford to drive! Sidney O'Neill couldn't help but ask.
"It's a car from a Chinese brand, it's better to drive than Japanese, American and European cars, and in my eyes, it's perfect! Oh yes, it's called ...... China Motor !! The black driver replied with some pride, and deliberately used a bit of broken Chinese when talking about the car brand.
"Oh, it's enviable that your uber drivers can drive such a good car!" Sidney O'Neill sighed with some envy.
When the black driver heard this, he became more and more proud, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, outlining a smile.
……
As soon as Zhonghua Automobile appeared, it amazed the world.
Of course, the hottest topic at the moment is Uber.
As more and more users have experienced Uber's ride-hailing services, they are full of praise.
"'One button, the car is coming' has been realized by Uber, where Uber goes, people no longer have to experience the helpless and tired wait during the rush hour, no longer have to worry about walking alone in the cold wind in the middle of the night, and even enjoy the aristocratic elegance of white gloves, roses, luxury cars, who can refuse this temptation? The challenge to tradition, the subversion of rules, the love and abuse of the world cannot cast even a light veil on the miracle created by Uber, which will continue to conquer the world with indomitable momentum!! A well-known Wall Street investor wrote on Facebook that he was very optimistic about Uber's future.
"The birth of Uber has filled the gap of traditional transportation, provided better services for people to travel, and it can be exaggerated to say that to a certain extent, it has changed the way people travel!"
"Now that I have Uber, I don't have to worry about not being able to get a taxi anymore, long live Uber!"
“……”
Uber quickly took the world by storm!
In less than a week, the number of downloads exceeded 53.59 million!
Moreover, more than 600,000 new people have become Uber drivers.
On September 8, Uber reached in-depth cooperation with Alipay, Facebook and WeChat, becoming a new member of the three super app ecosystems.
The super giant drainage allowed Uber to take off directly.
At the moment, I'm afraid there is nothing more popular than Uber.
At the same time, the term "sharing economy" has once again aroused the thinking of entrepreneurs around the world.
Everyone wants to explore it and see if they can dig up new treasures.
As a result, various sharing business models have emerged one after another......
