Chapter 350: M&A of Uber to Dominate the Chinese Online Ride-hailing Market!

After Shanhai Capital became the owner of Didi Travel, under the promotion of Ruan Yao, taxis, special cars, express cars, hitchhiking, carpooling, substitute drivers, buses, buses and freight businesses began to fully access the Moss Ai system.

Some drivers who have registered for both Didi and Uber Huaguo have gradually found that Didi's dispatch system has become more intelligent and user-friendly.

There are no detour orders or empty tickets!

In the past, you can only run 300~400 yuan in 8 hours, deducting oil, maintenance and depreciation losses, at most you can earn a hard fee.

Now at the same time, at least 800 yuan of Chinese dollars can be run, and the income has soared by 60%.

Who can resist the temptation of banknotes?

As a result, more and more drivers choose Didi to travel, and the market share has increased to 81% in just one month.

Even if the management of Uber Huaguo continues to use money to win over both drivers and passengers, and launch high-subsidy activities, it will still be to no avail.

Didi Travel is backed by mountains and seas, penguins and Ahri, and when it comes to financial strength, it is not lost to Uber Huaguo.

The money-burning game is in its final stages!

It didn't take long for the investors behind Uber: Vanguard Group, Bedley Fund, Gaolin Capital, etc., under the joint persuasion of Zhou Xiaoyu and Paul, to shake hands and agree to the merger plan.

"Jen, you've been fired, pack up your belongings, please leave immediately."

A white middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle, wearing a dark suit, announces with a blank face.

“Why? Petty, I'm the head of strategy for Uber's Greater China region, and you don't have the right to do that! ”

Liu Zhen frowned, dissatisfied with this, and looked incredulous.

"This is the unanimous decision of all investors, your operational strategy has wasted a lot of money, and Bedley, Gaolin, including Pioneer, have lost all patience.

Externally, we will declare that you are leaving the job on your own, and you will retain a certain amount of respect and decency. ”

Petty spread her hands, indicating that she was just an executor.

Liu Zhen was silent, remembering the call from her cousin last night, although she had been prepared in her heart, she didn't expect it to come so quickly.

What she didn't expect was that the next merger was originally the highlight moment for her and Liu Qing.

In their last life, the two worked together to facilitate the world's largest ride-hailing merger.

In this life, he suffered the fate of being out of the game!

Liu Zhen pondered for a moment and did not argue, with her academic resume and family background, it was not difficult to find another executive position.

"Mr. Zhang, I promise to join your company."

Walking out of Uber's Dahua headquarters, she dialed out a phone call and said in a deep voice.

Subsequently, Didi and Uber negotiated and communicated and finally reached a consensus on the valuation and equity framework.

With a price ratio of 4:1, Xindidi Company was established, and Shanhai Capital became the largest shareholder with a shareholding ratio of 27.8% and 61.5% of the voting rights.

This unicorn in the field of travel is officially included in the jurisdiction of Shanhai Group.

The "subsidy war" has come to an end, and the online car-hailing industry has entered a period of rapid and stable development.

"Fight the price, the service will only get worse and worse, Didi's advantage is that it has a large number of drivers and idle private car resources, rather than lower than the charging price of the bus."

Chen Heyu's request for Didi is very clear, don't play price wars!

If drivers want to increase their income, they must first improve their service ratings.

If the score is less than 3, the account will be directly banned; If the score is less than 4, the income will be discounted.

Therefore, at the end of 2016, the service attitude and awareness of online car-hailing drivers have changed significantly.

……

Lao Wang is one of them, after losing his job in middle age, because he has not been able to find a suitable job, he simply gritted his teeth and joined the online car-hailing army.

Every day in the wind and rain, after deducting expenses, you can still have a balance of more than 500 Chinese dollars, which is enough to support your family.

"Drop! You have a new order ......"

Lao Wang heard the system prompt, the corners of his mouth showed a satisfied smile, since Didi upgraded and revised, the dispatch mechanism has become more and more reasonable, which has greatly improved the efficiency of receiving orders.

He glanced at the pick-up address, which was 1.3 kilometers away, and kicked the accelerator.

Two minutes later, his car stopped in front of the gate of the community, and he quickly lowered the window, but did not see the passengers.

"Hello, I am the driver of Didi Travel and have arrived at the designated location, how long will it take for you to arrive?"

Lao Wang called the passenger and asked politely.

"Wait, what are you urging!"

A violent voice came from the opposite side, the tone was extremely impatient, and after speaking, he hung up the phone.

Lao Wang sneered, he had almost never seen a trick in the days when he was doing online car-hailing, and bad tempers abounded.

Didi Travel has launched a two-way scoring, not only passengers can give drivers evaluations, but drivers can also give passengers negative reviews.

Once the rating is too low, it will be blocked by all the apps under Didi and stop providing services.

Lao Wang didn't care, who let himself be in the service industry, and he couldn't help it if he was a little angry.

Anyway, if it is more than 5 minutes, there will be a waiting fee, so he naturally doesn't care.

"Take a walk with me on the streets of Chengdu

Didn't stay until all the lights went out......"

The mobile phone rang suddenly, and Lao Wang clicked the answer button, only to hear the other side scolding: "I'm at the gate of the community, where are you?" Didn't you say that? Believe it or not, I'm going to complain about you! ”

Lao Wang poked his head out, looked at the empty gate of the community, and asked with a smile: "I'm at the south gate, are you making a mistake in positioning?" ”

"Impossible! I'm obviously located at the north gate, you must have secretly modified it, come and pick me up immediately, otherwise I'll complain about you! ”

The passenger was tough.

"Can I reroute a passenger?"

Lao Wang complained silently in his heart, knowing that when he met an unreasonable person, it was useless to say more.

He glanced at the location, and the software was clearly marked on the south gate, so he could only smile helplessly, and he was not a few hundred meters away, so he didn't bother to care.

Then the car turned around and drove towards the north gate.

After a while, a beautiful woman about thirty years old, pushing a suitcase, appeared in front of her.

"People are beautiful, their mouths are really damaged, they have to complain at every turn, whoever marries this kind of woman is really moldy for eight lifetimes."

Lao Wang said secretly.

"Hello, is it a passenger with tail number 2380?"

He asked with a smile.

"It's me, why is it so slow, you can't afford to delay my flight."

The woman looked snarky, patted the roof cover of the car vigorously, and said loudly: "Open the trunk, stupid, it's really ink." ”

Lao Wang shook his head and obediently opened the trunk.

"Bang"!

The female passenger vigorously closed the door, sat in, crossed Erlang's legs, and pointed at her feet: "Hurry up and drive!" ”

Lao Wang was a little distressed about the car, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything, and drove towards Pudong Airport according to the route planned by the system.

It's just that before she has driven a few hundred meters, the woman yelled impatiently: "Why are you taking this road, are you deliberately detouring to cheat my money?" ”

"Hello, the routes are all planned by the platform, and it is also the best choice made taking into account the current road conditions."

Lao Wang explained.

"I don't care, if I hit your car, you should listen to me! What is this for, I am really speechless. ”

The woman shouted.

"You can modify the route on the APP, and after the setting is successful, I will follow your route."

Lao Wang couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly.

"What's it, hard work! I'll let you go as you go! ”

The woman was reluctant to modify the route.

"Then I can't do anything, I can only follow the route specified by the system, and the temporary adjustment of the route may incur additional costs, and the platform will judge me to take a detour and punish me.

Besides, aren't you in a hurry? Take the route of the system, and you will definitely not be late! ”

Lao Wang patiently explained slowly.

"I don't listen, I'm going to be angry when I take a taxi, it's too bullying, I'll take a picture of it for you and send it to the comic to expose you."

The female passenger continued to be vexatious.

"Either you cancel the order and get off, or you modify the route, and I will follow the route you said."

Lao Wang was a little impatient, it was the first time he had met such a strange customer.

The clay man still has three points of anger, not to mention that this person has repeatedly complained and exposed him, which really makes people angry.

"Humph!"

The woman snorted coldly, thought for a while, and adjusted the route on the App.

Lao Wang sneered, the route designated by Moss must have its reason, and he found after more than a month of testing that unless it is a newly built road, it has not been updated to the system.

Otherwise, no matter how experienced the old driver is, he is not as familiar with the road conditions as Moss.

Really!

After the car adjusted its route, it didn't take long for it to encounter a traffic jam.

Lao Wang looked calm and relaxed.

The expression on the female passenger's face became more and more agitated, and she looked at her phone from time to time.

"You can't drive faster, it's as slow as hell! If there will be no one for a while, open it to 120 for me! ”

The woman scolded.

"Oh, there's a traffic jam ahead, my Mazda doesn't fly in airplane mode. Besides, the speed limit on this road is 80, can you help me pay the fine? ”

Lao Wang said slowly.

"You ......"

The woman was so angry that she didn't know how to fight back for a while, and this road was what she was clamoring to take.

Can the driver be blamed?

Lao Wang smiled and drove towards the airport according to the new route.

Under the constant urging of the woman, an hour later, I finally came to the airport drop-off area.

"You wait for me!"

The woman picked up the suitcase and ran to the waiting room, and before leaving, she didn't forget to say a vicious word.

Lao Wang smiled slightly, the platform recorded the whole process, he was afraid of a fart!

Didi is not like before, he only listens to the passenger's side of the story, as long as he is reasonable, he is fearless.

Then, I successfully received the second order at the airport and happily drove to the city.

As for this strange female passenger, he scored 1 point directly, without mercy, hoping to make other peers avoid lightning.

"Sorry ma'am, you're late, and we recommend you transfer to a subsequent flight."

After hearing the words of the counter staff, the female passenger showed a pleading expression: "Let me pass, I'll be a few minutes late." ”

"If you want to go through the no-show confirmation procedures, I can help you do it, but you need to charge a 5% fee."

The staff was unmoved, and their expressions were indifferent.

"Accommodating, can't you? I have an important business trip meeting, and I can't afford to delay it. ”

The woman pisted.

"Please let me go, I still have to deal with the business of the passengers behind."

The staff said in disgust, and glanced at the woman, thinking who they were, and they still wanted to open a special channel?

Seeing that the negotiation was fruitless, the woman could only go out to take a taxi and prepare to go to the train station and take the high-speed rail.

When she opened the Didi APP again, she found that the interface was all gray, and the input box of the destination had no effect at all.

"What's the situation?"

She looked confused.

"Dear users, due to your long-term abuse of the driver's bad behavior, resulting in a user rating of less than 3.0, the account will be cancelled in a week, if there is any unused balance, please complete the withdrawal as soon as possible......"

I've been banned!

She was stunned for a moment, in her limited memory, she just scolded a few inferior people who ran online car-hailing, and Didi actually wanted to block her account!

It's too much!

She didn't think there was anything wrong with her, so she stopped a taxi and immediately posted it on the teaser.

But things didn't go as she planned at all, and there was a lot of scolding on the Internet.

Right! It's all the people who scold her!

"Wow! The first time I saw someone expose themselves on the Internet, it was terrible! ”

"One thing to say, this driver's temper is really good! If it's me, I'll let her get out of here as soon as possible! ”

"Are you sure it's not a sketch? There is no such show in the Spring Festival Gala, I don't watch it! ”

At the same time, the after-sales department of the Didi platform noticed this hot search video and took the initiative to contact the female passenger and ask for the order number.

"You have to punish this driver, he caused my plane to be delayed, do you know how much damage it will cause me?"

The female passenger said loudly.

"Dear lady, we will call you back within 3 hours and let you know the result."

The customer service of the after-sales department replied politely.

According to the tracking number, she found out the account information of this person, and the score was only 2.3, what kind of angry thing did she have to do, and the driver would give such a low score.

Immediately, the after-sales department quickly found the recording, and after passing the double verification of Moss Intelligence and human personnel, it was unanimously determined that the driver was not responsible.

In the end, the public relations department of Didi Travel sent the original recording file to Comic and Weibo, and the result was: the female passenger was banned, the mobile phone number under her name, and she could not use Didi's services for life.

"Well done! Drivers are also people, and the platform can't blindly favor passengers, which is very satisfying. ”

"It turns out that the purpose of online car-hailing recording is to protect the driver!"

"It's obvious that she is yelling at people, but she hits a rake and says that the driver is scolding! It's so good to turn black and white upside down! ”

There are very few passers-by of the female passengers at the station.

This incident also reminded all users that evading orders and scolding drivers will be permanently blocked by the platform.

The same is true for drivers, poor service attitude, still deducted points and fines, or even permanent bans.

Didi is the only one left in China, and despite the strict requirements, users are happy to accept it after adapting to it for a while.

Because, the sense of experience and security has been significantly improved!

On the other hand, Didi began to reduce personnel, and a large number of middle and senior managers who took marketing expenses and fictitious entertainment funds were fired and held accountable by Ruan Yao.

The extra labor costs were used to improve the salary and benefits of the bottom employees, and after some turmoil, the company's cohesion became stronger and stronger.

After getting the business and financial statements, Chen Heyu quickly flipped through them and smiled with satisfaction.

In the eyes of others, Ruan Yao betrayed Chen Wei, in his opinion, Ruan Yao was obedient and hardworking, hundreds of times stronger than Chen Wei.

If it was just poor ability, he wouldn't think about kicking Chen Wei away, but this person's ability is not outstanding enough, and he still wants to control all the time and waste his financing money desperately, and he can endure it until now, which is already super patient.

……

"Boss, "Detective Chinatown 2" is going to be released during the Spring Festival, and after finishing this project, I want to take a break for a while."

Lao Xiao sat on a rattan chair in the courtyard and grinned.

"No problem, if you want to take a vacation to find Lao Lin, I'm not a yellow pickpocket, I have to let you make a few movies a year."

Chen Heyu smiled lightly, picked up the hot tea, and took a sip.

""Wandering Land Star 2" is almost finished, Lao Guo was still complaining the last time we met, you, as a big boss, have never visited the class once."

Xiao Yang smiled, turned his head and sold Guo Wan.

"How do I have time? Guarding my baby daughter. ”

Chen Heyu waved his hand, leaned back, and turned his head to look at Luo Wenwen, who was not far away, holding a camera to take pictures.

There are still a few months left to the due date, and he is afraid to go far.

In order to kill time, the little girl picked up her hobbies in college again, practiced photography skills at home, and prepared to record her growth process after the baby was born.
