??It rains lightly in Shanghai and also in Shenzhen.
?Under the gloomy sky, fine raindrops continued to fall, and water splashed on the roadside. Although the morning light had not yet arrived, the sky slowly became brighter as time went by.
?On the streets of Shenzhen City, many people who were rushing to work but did not check the weather forecast hurriedly ran downstairs, only to find out that it was raining, so they all chose to take a taxi to work.
“Hello passengers, Bibi Taxi is here to serve you wholeheartedly. Please sit in the back and fasten your seat belt.”
“Hello passengers, Kuaishou welcomes you to use it. We will serve you wholeheartedly. Please fasten your seat belt before setting off.”
?Users who took taxis on the roadside were a little surprised, because they clearly felt that the response efficiency of the two apps was more than doubled, and their expressions were full of surprise.
You know, they usually have to wait seven or eight minutes for a taxi, but now it’s the peak time for taxis on rainy days, and they didn’t expect that they would be answered in five minutes.
?Those who are more careful discovered that the cars they hit with Beep did not come from Beep, but from Kuai.
??Or they took a fast taxi, but the person who picked them up was a Beep Express.
?In addition, there are some areas where it is difficult for beeps to hit the car, but now you can directly hit the faster ones.
?He likes rainy days very much, because the sound of rain can relieve his stress and open his mind more.
? Cheng Wei was halfway through drinking his coffee when he suddenly received a call from his secretary: "Mr. Cheng, Mr. Liu and Mr. Chen are all here."
“Well, let’s treat you well first, I’ll be there right away, three minutes.”
? Cheng Wei threw the cup in his hand into the trash can, opened his umbrella and walked out of the coffee shop, returning to the headquarters building.
?Those who do business are under greater pressure than ordinary people, and they may have some quirks.
"clear."
Uber is now shattered. Travis, a Yankee, has no arrogance now and is only supported by his own arrogance. He doesn't want to leave in such a disgraceful way.
?As a result, major manufacturers plan to conduct some small experiments on “encirclement and suppression” in the taxi-hailing market.
?This is a low-cost trial, but it may open up unlimited possibilities for the future.
?When he was working in the market in Kyoto and was suppressed by Uber's dimensionality reduction, he couldn't sleep in the hotel, so he often went out on rainy days and took a tent to the park to spend the night.
At this time, Cheng Wei was sitting in the cafe downstairs of the branch, watching the scene where the express train with the two logos on it drove into the rain curtain, turned on the double flash, stopped, picked up the passengers and left quickly, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly. rise.
?But in fact, Uber has little power to fight back.
? Cheng Wei sipped his coffee, still feeling as frivolous as in a dream.
?If a company can catch up with BAT within five years, then give it another five years.
??He would not think that it was his personality charm that conquered the two Mr. Ma. The only explanation for such smooth communication should be that the big manufacturers are beginning to be wary of teaming up.
For major manufacturers, they just put together works that were about to fail to see if they can create new sparks.
?Lenovo hosts a meal, a few glasses of wine, and a few hearty smiles. This seemingly whimsical thing can actually happen.
?There are some business areas controlled by Bibi, and Kuaishui is always on call for them.
?To be honest, he really didn’t expect that the communication between Kuaidui and Bibi would be so smooth.
?According to the next business logic, Didi will inevitably sink quickly after sending Travis back to the United States. Finally, it will meet Bibi and Kuaidi in the sinking market and defeat all opponents that stand in its way.
You should know that Jiang Qin is only twenty-four years old and will be in his prime in five years. He might really be able to knock BAT off the altar.
?At this time, Chen Chuanxing was sitting on the sofa looking through Bibi’s brochure. Sitting next to him was Liu Qing, the eldest princess of Lenovo China, who is currently the joint CEO of Kuaidi and Bibi.
Lenovo has made great efforts to promote the cooperation between Bibi and Kuaidi. The reason is that Liu Qing is very optimistic about this industry. Before that, she was the general manager of the Asia region of Goldman Sachs Group.
?Forging allies, adding generals, and relying on the mountains, this wave of beep and Kuai seems to have the right time, place, and people.
?The purpose of this meeting is to formulate a joint development plan between Bibi and Kuaidi.
“I suggest that Bibi and Kuai develop in both directions, continue to expand the market according to the original sinking plan, form a sinking circle, and expand market share. In the third round, we will obtain the largest financing in the entire market.”
?Cheng Wei had already thought about the development route in his mind, and now he wanted to see the opinions of Chen Chuanxing and Liu Qing.
?? Chen Chuanxing nodded: "I agree with this view. If we continue to sink into the market and provide good services and updates at the same time, the growth trend of Bibi and Kuaidi will definitely be stable within two years."
?“What about Didi?”
Liu Qing pulled her hair back and asked the two of them.
?Cheng Wei and Chen Chuanxing looked at each other, and both saw the hesitation flickering in the other's eyes.
?To be honest, even if Bibi and Kuai joined forces, they still didn’t have the courage to face Didi head-on, and their first reaction was to avoid it as much as possible.
?The market is still very big. If there is no need to fight, try not to fight to reduce losses and slow development. When war is inevitable, I believe that Beep and Kuaishou will already have enough chips. As a result, the joint expansion of Kuaidi and Bibi quickly began, and the entire taxi-hailing market ushered in a period of rapid growth.
?At the same time as the expansion plan began, the first joint venture between Alibaba and Tencent also attracted the enthusiastic attention of many capitals, such as Hillhouse Capital, SoftBank China and Apple.
? Even Travis from Uber came to Shencheng specifically to meet Cheng Wei.
?The cooperation between Kuaidi and Bibi seems to be tipping the scales. The roles between Uber and Bibi have been reversed.
?“Mr. Travis, would you like tea or coffee?”
?“Coffee, thank you.”
?Cheng Wei received him in his private apartment and had a pleasant conversation.
??Travis’s purpose is also very simple. He hopes to join the alliance and hold shares with Bibi in exchange for a part of the living space.
??This foreigner has a really good view of the current situation, and his ability to seize opportunities is even more extraordinary.
Uber is now broken, and it may be worthless if it continues. Moreover, because they are a foreign company, they are also making mistakes in the private car industry.
??But Uber has an identity that is very valuable to Bibi. He is the only lone wolf still fighting against Didi in Shanghai and Kyoto.
??If the three parties unite, Uber will contain Didi's main force in the front, and Bibi and Kuai will develop around the back, which will always be faster than one.
?What makes Cheng Wei even more excited is the issue of power distribution.
According to the current development trend, Bibi and Kuaidi will officially merge before the third round of financing. There will always be one party between him and Chen Chuanxing who wants to retire behind the scenes. If Bibi and Uber can hold each other's equity, then Cheng Wei will be the real power holder. It's a done deal.
?However, this kind of equity swap cooperation is quite troublesome to talk about. How much share to exchange is an endless tug-of-war.
?Actually, Travis's requirements are not high. Cheng Wei is the one who really puts on airs.
?Think about the meeting in Beijing last year. At that time, Travis looked at him like a country bumpkin and told him to surrender or die. Now that the situation has changed, it is normal to make some adjustments.
“When I met him, he was really arrogant and seemed to have a kind of discrimination against people of color.”
?“And now his expression is the same as when I first faced him.”
“There is helplessness and unwillingness, there is anger but I can only endure it.”
Cheng Wei murmured to himself silently, feeling secretly happy that a great revenge had been avenged, but he soon felt lost again, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.
??Travis's surrender was not because they couldn't beat Bibi, but because they couldn't beat Didi and the group.
?In other words, it was not him but Jiang Qin who truly conquered this arrogant foreigner.
? Cheng Wei leaned on the back of the sofa and looked at the ceiling. He couldn't help but think of Jiang Qin's presence that no one could ignore when he appeared at the Internet conference.
?At this time, Jiang Qin had already learned about the merger of Kankuaidi and Bibi, but he was not surprised at all.
?They had merged together to work as Uber in their previous lives, and this time they had sufficient reasons to merge together to work for themselves, which is not surprising.
??However, when he discovered that both Tencent and Alibaba seemed to care about him, Jiang Qin suddenly felt that he was the biggest villain in the story and was about to be the enemy of the whole world.
“Bibi and Kuaidi have been sinking into the market, and their current market share is already very high. I recommend that they sink into the market quickly.”
?Ye Ziqing has been in group sharing for these years and has experienced the food delivery war and the payment war. He has grown a lot, but his temper is still a bit short-tempered.
?After learning about the connection between Bibi and Kuaishou, she felt like she couldn’t sit still. She came to Shanghai from Kyoto that night, planning to give chase.
Jiang Qin looked at her, pondered for a while and then said, "What if it's not two families, but three?"
?“Three families?”
“Haven’t you noticed that Uber has started to provide subsidies again recently?”
?Ye Ziqing was stunned for a moment: "Indeed, Uber's subsidy activities are back online this Wednesday. They already have nothing to worry about, so it is really strange to burn money in the market again."
Jiang Qin nodded: "Once we focus on the sinking market, the first problem to be solved is whether to pursue the fastest one, Beep. Whether Uber will make a comeback is another problem to be solved. We can't allocate so much manpower and material resources." and funding.”
“It’s still possible with Kuaidi and Bibi, but with Uber? Can these three companies really advance and retreat together?”
“They are not simply cooperating. They have exchanged equity. Before the next round of financing, they will conduct a final merger. At this stage, no matter what we do, part of the market will always be taken away by them.”
?Ye Ziqing took a deep breath: "This kind of merger and competition also involves foreign-funded enterprises. Doesn't the Market Supervision Bureau care about it?"
??Jiang Qin clasped his hands together and shook them twice: "Maybe the group really grew up too fast."
