Chapter 825 Didi forms alliance with Uber

Early morning, Dongshan Villa.

Gao Yuanyuan and Lu Fei faced each other, sitting at the dining table, mixing fried noodles, "How long will Shunfeng's price war continue?"

"Why do you suddenly care about this?"

Lu Fei had a mouthful of noodles and a mouthful of sweet garlic.

"Not that I care."

Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes, "It's not because your taxi app subsidized it, but now all the taxis in Yanjing are going crazy. They only accept orders from the taxi app. My mother spent a long time on the roadside looking for a taxi. She couldn't even get a taxi, so she finally called me and I drove her home."

"Hey, I didn't expect the competition to be so fierce. This is a big sin. How about buying a car for our mother?"

Lu Fei raised his head and blinked.

"If my mother loved driving, why would you have waited until now to buy it? My mother can't drive. She gets nervous when she drives and makes mistakes easily. With her driving skills, our whole family would be worried if she really drove the car." Gao Yuanyuan I couldn’t help but complain.

"Pfft, can this driving skill be inherited?" Lu Fei blurted out.

"What do you mean... OK, you dare to say that I can't drive! You say I inherited it from my mother, right?" Gao Yuanyuan glared, "I want to tell my mother and sister-in-law this."

"Ahem, just a joke, just a joke."

Lu Fei wiped the sauce from the corner of his mouth with a tissue, "How about, like our father, we can provide our mother with a car and a driver. When she wants to go out, she can just say it. How about this?"

"No, no, my mother won't agree, and neither will my father." Gao Yuanyuan shook her head, "If you give my father a car and a driver, you are rehiring him to your company to use his spare energy."

"This won't work, that won't work, then we have to wait until the price war is over." Lu Fei shrugged helplessly.

The high treatment given to Gao's father was not entirely due to his relationship with his father-in-law. It was also the private aviation and drone business company he invested in. Whether it was management or research and development, it was inseparable from him. After all, it was A treasure in the aerospace compound.

"Then when will you finish this price war?"

Gao Yuanyuan cracked the hard-boiled egg and slowly peeled it open.

"It's not up to us to decide how long we have to fight. Before, it was Shake and it was about to be eliminated. Now it's Didi. In short, it's up to them to fight for as long as they want, until they take over the country's online taxi-hailing market. Market, the second phase of the task will be completed, otherwise, the money will be wasted."

Zhajiang noodles with garlic made Lu Fei couldn't help but say "authentic".

"I'm also curious, how many banknotes have been burned now based on your smashing method regardless of the cost?"

Gao Yuanyuan put the peeled eggs into his bowl.

"It's just over 2 million burned."

Lu Fei took a bite of the egg.

"More than 2 million? Just?"

Gao Yuanyuan's eyes widened in disbelief, "This much money is enough for us to make one "Pacific Rim 2" and three or four "Youth" movies. This is just 'that'. How much do you plan to burn?" Money? 3 million, 4 million, or 5 million?"

"My instructions to Shunfeng and Lao Xu are that there is no cap on the amount, and they will give it whenever they ask for money. I fully respect the decision of Lao Xu and Shunfeng's management, as long as the task can be completed."

Lu Fei swallowed the egg in one gulp.

"You guys are too scary. If you follow this burning method, wouldn't it be possible that over a billion dollars will be burned in a few months?"

Gao Yuanyuan was used to shopping and fighting in shopping malls, but she was also shocked by the astonishing speed of burning money on the Internet.

"The Internet is basically a winner-takes-all model. Whether it is e-commerce, social networking, search, travel, catering, group buying, etc., it is already difficult for the second place to gain a foothold. The third place will be either on the verge of elimination or already Be eliminated."

Lu Fei raised his lips, "This is the Internet and mobile Internet. It's like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat."

"But you are now engaged in a price war. What will you do after the subsidies are paid out? During this period, you have burned a lot and burned a lot. But then others will burn a lot more, and the users you accumulated some time ago will be lost in vain. Are there any other taxi-hailing apps? This situation exists, right? What should you do?"

Gao Yuanyuan turned sideways and carefully fed it to Lu Hua.

"So if we want to completely unify the national online taxi market within one or two years, relying solely on the core competitiveness of burning money is far from enough." Lu Fei had to lament.

"The threshold is too low. It's just like the film and television industry. As long as you have money, you can make movies."

Gao Yuanyuan felt the same way.

Lu Fei took a sip of milk and said, "It's even lower than the film and television industry. Spending money may not necessarily lead to a well-received movie, but as long as you are willing to spend money, you can easily enter the online ride-hailing market. So far, , no real barriers were formed.”

"There's no tailwind either?"

Gao Yuanyuan was speechless.

"It is still being built, at least to support the system that supports Shunfeng. I'm afraid no one can match it." Lu Fei stretched out his finger, "Smartphones, Android systems, payment tools, big data cloud computing, navigation systems, financing systems, etc."

The corner of his mouth rose slightly, "In short, Shunfeng relies on these to mobilize hundreds of millions of funds to fight price wars so efficiently. Otherwise, the money will be burned more and less, where it will be burned, how long it will be burned, and whether the money burned can be replenished in time." , how to convert the new users into loyal fans, these problems cannot be solved.”

"Then why didn't you wait until the barrier was built before taking action?" Gao Yuanyuan cast an inquiring look.

"Time, I'm racing against time now."

Lu Fei wiped his mouth with a tissue, "I'm actually not interested in the taxi app itself. I only invested for the purpose of car sharing. In the future, the business will develop from taxis to private cars and improve the utilization rate of cars. The most important thing is That is, lay out the layout for artificial intelligence, intelligent driving and new energy vehicles."

"Is the new energy vehicle the same as the BYD Qin in your garage?" Gao Yuanyuan's eyes lit up.

"Yes, new energy vehicles will be a pillar industry with an output value of trillions in the future. Artificial intelligence is also the future trend of the Internet. How can it be compared with the market value of a mere taxi-hailing software." Lu Fei said with a smile, "Instead of saying that I invested It’s Shunfeng, but it’s better to invest in the future of cars and the Internet. This is also what makes Shunfeng different from other taxi-hailing apps.”

"The 'pattern' you always talk about, right?"

Gao Yuanyuan blinked strangely.

"Correct."

Lu Fei looked at Lu Hua being fed and asked for no reason: "How is Han and Tang's summer program this year?"

"Well, Sissi's "Famous Catchers" is not satisfactory. The box office barely exceeded 2 million. It can barely meet our expectations. But after all, it is the owner of Enlight Film and Television. It is not a project led by us, so there can't be too many demanding."

Gao Yuanyuan said excitedly: "On the other hand, "To Our Fading Youth" directed by Sister Zeng Li really exceeded all of our expectations. It has only been released for half a month and the box office has already exceeded 5 million. According to past experience, seven There is absolutely no problem with million. It’s really unexpected. I didn’t expect a youth nostalgia movie..."

"Is it so promising? Is it so popular?"

Lu Fei had a playful smile on his face.

"Yes, but to achieve such results, in addition to the winning theme, it is inseparable from the traffic of Mimi and Shishi, as well as the appeal and topicality of Wang Fei and Sister Zeng Li."

Gao Yuanyuan smiled and said: "'July and Ansheng', I'm going to follow this configuration. Do it again, what do you think?"

"Very good. So this time Baihua, Yang Mi wins Best Actress, and Senior Sister wins Best Director. It should be said that there are great hopes."

Lu Fei drank the milk in the cup in one gulp.

"Mimi has a chance to play. Sister Zeng Li may be a little nervous. She has to compete with Feng Pants this time, and the shortlisted film is not "To Youth"." Gao Yuanyuan shook her head, "I can try next year's Golden Rooster." "Then next year. .”

Lu Fei nodded.

Gao Yuanyuan murmured: "Sister Zeng Li and Sister Hailu have both transformed into producers and directors. Fortunately, Mimi and Shishi have been trained to be top-notch people who can take over. Next, it is Tiantian and Qianxi's turn." While feeding, Said, "We also need to train a group of new people in addition to the four young ladies. The company has recently recruited a lot of girls."

Lu Fei looked indifferent and flipped through the newspaper.

"In addition to Zhao Liying and Yaya, we have recruited two new ones, Dilraba and Gulinazha." Gao Yuanyuan said, "Including Li Zhien on the stick side, the resources are becoming increasingly insufficient."

While speaking, he secretly looked up.

However, the newspaper blocked her view. Just when she turned her attention back to her son who had finished feeding, she suddenly heard:

"Where's Huayi? How about Huayi?"

"Hey, why did you suddenly ask about Huayi?"

"The two Huayi brothers were too restless and ignorant, and they supported Didi covertly. We launched the 'Four Little Hua Dan Voice Service'. As a result, Huayi also attracted female stars such as Shuang Bing to Didi. In addition, Huayi’s artists were asked to post on Weibo and publicize before, so the friends of the enemy are the enemies.”

Lu Fei said with a straight face, "You have to give them some pain."

"Well, let me think about it."

Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes, "Huayi's current strategy is very strange. It is obviously a film and television company, but it has been reducing its investment in film and television. It is more dependent on Feng Pants' projects than before. Once Feng Pants' movies fail, Huayi's stock price will plummet." It will plummet.”

"Feng Pants has a new movie this year?"

Lu Fei raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, "2.2", it is said that the production cost alone is 7 million, plus the publicity cost, the box office will need at least million to make back the money. I don't know how they thought of it, and turned out to be such a heavy and serious film. The subject matter is placed in the Lunar New Year section."

Gao Yuanyuan curled her lips.

Lu Fei narrowed his eyes, "Can you take a sniper shot?"

"Okay, I'll just adjust the schedule. I'll give Huayi a front and back attack. In the same schedule, we'll have "Thailand" first, and then we'll have "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" later. How about that?"

Gao Yuanyuan showed a proud smile.

"great!"

Lu Fei was very satisfied. The cost of "1942" was too high, and the final loss was small. The most important thing was that Feng Pants failed in his first movie. Once Huayi's elixir failed, Huayi's The project will no longer be stable, it will be difficult to guarantee box office and reputation, and the market value and stock price will naturally be in the red.

Anything can happen in China's stock market!

It is not impossible for the Shanghai Composite to fall below 2800 points!

Just before the attack on Huayi, the national war on ride-hailing software had just entered its second half. With Didi's support to the end, Heshunfeng was fighting to the death. The brutal fighting caused other small and medium-sized online ride-hailing companies to be basically destroyed.

The hornet in Hangzhou is dead!

Yanjing's Yaoyao, although it had $1500 million to bet against Sequoia, could not find the next financing and died!

In the huge online ride-hailing market, only Didi is holding on.

At this moment, what is on the projection screen in the conference room is not a comparison of data between Shunfeng and Didi, but an old movie——

"The Battle of Moscow".

It is said in the film that Moscow cannot be defeated. Alexander, Napoleon, and Adolf came before, but they all came back defeated. Cheng Wei used this belief to cheer up the team every day.

Lu Fei is Napoleon!

If you fight against Didi, you will encounter Waterloo sooner or later!

"Songfeng attacks with all its strength without considering profits at all. It cannot last long, so we can only fight quickly. As long as Didi persists, it will survive and see the dawn of dawn. After this price war, it will become China's No. 1 The second best taxi-hailing app.”

Liu Qing looked around and cooperated with Cheng Wei to boost morale.

"Mr. Cheng, Mr. Liu, but according to the information revealed by Mr. Lu, SoftBank intends to invest in Shunfeng, and Penguin, Sogou, and Feigou are also preparing to increase capital. This... I'm afraid..."

The vice president bit the bullet and said it.

For a moment, everyone whose emotions were aroused by the movie felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured down on them, and they regained their composure and rationality.

The will also became depressed.

The atmosphere was solemn and dull in dead silence.

Cheng Wei gritted his teeth. With such a luxurious investment lineup, even on a global scale, this lineup may be regarded as one of the most complicated interests and the most luxurious personnel structure. If placed in other Internet companies, it may have long been There was internal strife.

But one thing that is different about Shunfeng is——

Mr. Lu is the core of this ultra-complex interest structure.

As long as he's around, Tailwind operates normally and efficiently.

"Don't worry, everyone, we also have foreign aid!"

Liu Qing said bluntly that in addition to Oceanwide, Giant, Goldman Sachs, and Primavera, they also found Russian capital, Yuri Milner, known as the "legendary investor."

In an instant, the whole hall was in an uproar and whispering to each other.

This is a Russian tycoon who has invested in Facebook and Xiaomi!

"Why didn't you mention it to me?"

Cheng Wei lowered his voice and said.

"Because the conditions he proposed are a bit harsh."

Liu Qing said helplessly: "He said that if Didi wants to survive and wants his investment, it must either quickly merge with Shunfeng. After the merger, the US$2.5 million will be credited directly to the account, or..."

"No way! Don't even think about it!"

Cheng Wei refused.

"That's the second option. Either go to Uber. The enemy of your enemy is your friend. If you lure Uber into investing, you can also get $2.5 million in financing." Liu Qing stared at him.

"Here... make an appointment with Uber for me immediately."

Cheng Wei was familiar with the history of various wars, and he immediately understood the benefits of forming an alliance with Uber. In addition to funds, it was Uber's influence and competitiveness, especially in the domestic market of the United States.

In this way, Uber can replace Didi in the international market, involve Shunfeng's energy, and disperse Shunfeng's power in China.

Colleagues, Didi is fighting fiercely with Shunfeng in the Chinese market, and it is also helping Uber attract firepower, and the price it pays is——

Lure the jackal Uber into your home.

Compared with the fierce tiger Shunfeng, the wolf becomes cute. (End of chapter)
