Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 361 Uber Press Conference

When Ding Lei and his party arrived at the nearby Qingju bicycle parking spot, they found that the place had been surrounded by other people for a long time.

"There are so many people!" Ding Lei sighed, and then he couldn't help but look at the green and orange bicycle carefully.

Compared with ordinary bicycles, the biggest feature of Qingju bicycle is that there is a special device under the seat. The electronic code lock and Internet positioning system should be installed inside. 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 Qingju bicycle and rode out from the crowd with excitement on his face.

"The quality of Qingju bicycles is better than ordinary bicycles, and they are extremely comfortable to ride!"

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

Of course, what satisfies him most is that riding is free.

New users can enjoy three free rides, but a deposit is still required, which is only 100 yuan, but the deposit can be withdrawn at any time.

After three free rides, the starting ride is 1 yuan, and each ride lasts no more than 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, 15 yuan will be charged every 1 minutes.

The price is quite affordable.

Within two or three minutes, all the dozens of green orange bicycles at the parking spot were ridden away.

It is not difficult to see that people are still very interested in shared bicycles. Many people have not ridden a bicycle for more than ten years, but now they are reliving their youth again!

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

……

On that day, Qingju Bicycle became popular! ! !
And it topped the Weibo hot search list, triggering heated discussions across the country!
"Suddenly, a spring breeze came overnight, and thousands of pear trees bloomed! When I woke up, I felt that the city roads were full of people riding green orange bicycles! Wujiang Group is so awesome, and they have come up with something new! This shared bicycle is really It’s very popular, my friends are talking about it, and the emergence of shared bicycles is indeed beneficial to us people!”

"The emergence of Qingju Bicycle will benefit the country and the people. Firstly, the bicycle industry chain will be developed; secondly, green travel will reduce environmental pollution; thirdly, it will solve the people's 'last mile' transportation needs; fourthly, Cycling can also help you exercise!”

“There are more and more wealthy people in China, and more and more people are buying cars. The traffic congestion problem on urban roads has become more and more serious. If some people choose to ride shared bicycles, then it can greatly alleviate urban traffic jams. pressure."

"..."

At 9 o'clock the next morning, Wujiang Building.

Jie Youwei excitedly reported to Zhao Ye: "Director Zhao, on the first day the Qingju Bicycle app was launched, there were nearly 500 million downloads, more than 450 million registered users, and more than 241 million users who have ridden Qingju Bicycle! Qingju Bicycle has had a huge start!!!”

Zhao Ye smiled when he heard this and nodded: "Yes, it is indeed very successful! Next, Qingju Bicycle can enter the fourth and fifth tier cities and rural areas. The threshold for shared bicycles is relatively low, and I expect that the next competition will definitely be It’s very intense. Qingju Bicycle must swarm the territory and occupy a good location before they go online!”

"Understood! Don't worry, Director Zhao, we will definitely keep up our efforts!"

"Well, go get busy."

"Okay, Director Zhao."

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

Then, she followed Zhao Ye's request and began to expand Qingju Bicycle crazily.

Thanks to the strong support of Wujiang Group, Qingju Bicycle has developed at an alarming rate.

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

Many people originally envied that Qingju Bicycles were only available in big cities, but they did not expect that Qingju Bicycles were also available in small counties in their hometowns.

Good guy, that’s an excitement!

Young men and women in small counties are riding green orange bicycles one after another, and are at the forefront of the trend of the times...

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

Qingju Bicycle is about to take over the national market, is it necessary for me to get involved?Aren't you afraid of being run over?

This is too bad and puts people in a difficult position!

If you give up halfway, the initial investment will be in vain.

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

……

In early August, Qingju Bicycle reached cooperation with Alipay, Facebook, and WeChat. Users can use Qingju Bicycle’s travel services by opening the Alipay, Facebook, and WeChat apps.

The three major super apps attract traffic to Qingju Bicycle, which is simply invincible!
I would like to ask, are you afraid of competitors in the market?
Who else! ! ! !

As expected, the three major super app traffic brought a large number of new users to Qingju Bicycle.

By the end of August, 8 million people had used Qingju Bicycles, and the deposits collected alone were as high as more than 1.5 billion yuan.

Qingju Bicycle’s impressive achievements have simply stunned the investment community and the Internet industry.

Everyone never thought that Qingju Bicycle could be so powerful! ! !
Silicon Valley.

A white man watched the news, his heart was surging, and he excitedly said to several entrepreneurial partners around him: "Look at this news, Qingju Bicycle, a subsidiary of Wujiang Group, has a deposit of 150 billion yuan alone! We are creating Lime today. , it will definitely be a big success!!! Lime will definitely become America’s ‘Green Orange Bicycle’!!!”

Copying Chinese ideas?

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

Can a business model be called plagiarism?
Wujiang Group can do shared bicycles, why can’t our American companies do shared bicycles?

Carey Warren and his fellow entrepreneurs are very excited at the moment. Their bike-sharing APP will be launched soon, thus seizing the first-mover advantage.

By the way, Silicon Valley in the United States has been copying products from China.

Whatever good ideas and products China has, Silicon Valley in the United States will copy them over.

Therefore, Carey Warren doesn’t think there is anything wrong with him copying Qingju Bicycle’s idea. Everyone is like this and are used to it.

The United States is a country that engages in plagiarism in the technology world, especially in the Internet field.

"Kyrie Warren, our Lime software is very similar to Qingju Bicycle. I wonder if it can pass the review of Wujiang Group?" The companion said with some worry. After all, the overlord of smartphones is Wujiang Group at the moment. Any app software wants to To enter the smartphone platform, you must pass the review of Wujiang Group.

Kyrie Warren said with determination: "No problem, Wujiang Group has never blocked other people's software in this regard, and the U.S. Justice Department will not allow it. Wujiang Group is very smart and will not let the U.S. Department of Justice find it. Excuse. Also..."

Carey Warren paused and said with a smile, "The Wujiang Group is very proud and arrogant and is not afraid of competitors at all!"

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

In fact, if Wujiang Group really wanted to enter the U.S. bike-sharing market, it would not give Lime the opportunity to do so first.

Zhao Ye is not very optimistic about the shared bicycle market in the United States. The United States has a vast land and abundant resources, but a small urban population. There are less than 9 major cities with a population of more than one million. In addition to New York, which has a population of nearly 300 million, Los Angeles, the second most populous city, only has more than [-] people. million population.The cities are large and the population is small, so cars are generally required to travel. Without cars in the United States, it is difficult to move around.

ride a bike?

Just kidding, I'm exhausted.

I really thought Americans liked riding bicycles to exercise...

Therefore, only a few cities in the United States can develop shared bicycles. However, shared bicycles are all about scale. Small scale makes it difficult to make a profit. Therefore, it is basically difficult to make a profit by sharing bicycles in the United States.

There is no need for Wujiang Group to support the development of shared bicycles in the United States and provide money to create benefits for Americans.

Of course, with shared bicycles so popular right now, Lime will definitely be popular among investment institutions, and a high valuation is inevitable.

For entrepreneurs like Carey Warren, there's a lot of money to be made.

Only when the tide recedes do you know who is swimming naked...

……

Just as Kyrie Warren is preparing to launch the Lime bike-sharing software, Zhao Ye is also preparing to launch the taxi-hailing software Uber.

Borderless Building.

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

"Director Zhao, the Uber taxi-hailing software is ready and can be launched simultaneously in more than 100 countries around the world!"

"So far, we have recruited 50 full-time Uber online ride-hailing drivers, and all the cars are Zhonghua sedans provided by Tiangong Technology!"

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

After the words fell, Zhao Ye smiled and nodded: "Very good, as soon as Uber comes out, we can improve our travel services! Mr. Feng, please prepare, we will hold a press conference at the end of this month. On September 9st, Uber software will be launched globally. !”

"Okay, Director Zhao, I'll get ready right away!"

"Ah."

Zhao Ye watched Feng Junhao leave with a smile.

The conditions for the initial development of the Uber taxi-hailing software in this generation are simply ridiculously good.

If nothing else, the number of 50 full-time Uber drivers alone is scary.

Uber's taxi-hailing software has been able to provide consumers with good travel services from the very beginning, giving people a good impression - high-end and classy!

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 Automobile will definitely be able to gain international fame.

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

……

……

A few days later, news spread like wildfire that Wujiang Group was going to hold another major press conference, causing a great sensation.

On the evening of August 8, 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 at the press conference, Feng Junhao was getting dressed, looking excited and nervous.

Today's press conference attracted great attention, with millions of viewers watching the live broadcast alone.

In ten years, no one asked him, and he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop.

He was previously a pretty girl struggling in Silicon Valley. Even though he graduated from an Ivy League university in the United States, and no matter how outstanding his abilities were, in a white man's world, his ceiling was very low. After struggling for more than ten years, he could not reach the sky. Just a project manager.

It wasn't until he came to Wujiang Group that he quickly got a huge opportunity.

He became the CEO of Uber’s taxi-hailing software.

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

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

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience immediately burst into applause.

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

“I don’t know what kind of product Uber is, but it’s definitely not ordinary!”

"..."

Everyone applauded and looked at Feng Junhao expectantly.

Feng Junhao did not disappoint them.

At the following press conference, he introduced the Uber taxi-hailing software to everyone in detail.

Everyone was shocked when they heard it.

After sharing bicycles, Wujiang Group launched a taxi-hailing software. It really has a profound understanding of the "sharing economy". It is not an exaggeration to say that it is easy to use.

"The taxi-hailing app is a great idea, why didn't I think of it?" Some people in the audience beat their chests and felt very sorry.

"If you could think of it, you would be a billionaire! This taxi-hailing project seems to have more future than shared bicycles. You can see that the atmosphere at the scene is boiling!"

“I think Uber is actually the real sharing economy model. You see, shared bicycles are actually provided by Qingju Bicycle Company. They are leasing and not considered sharing. But Uber is different. All car owners can apply to become Uber drivers. When I have nothing to do or when I am on the way, I take orders and make money. I use the sharing model to the fullest, which is really admirable!"

"It's really admirable! Many car owners will be very happy to become Uber drivers. For example, if I plan to drive to another city, then I can pick up ride-hailing orders. In this way, my gas expenses and The highway tolls have been paid, maybe I can earn some more, hahaha..."

“Damn, that’s so awesome! My admiration for Wujiang Group is like a torrential river, endless, and like the Yellow River overflowing, it can’t be controlled at once!!!”

Silicon Valley.

Lime’s founding team was completely confused. We were just about to launch shared bicycles, and Wujiang Group started to play with higher-end products. It’s so shameful...
