Rebirth 2010: I add some points to be a boss

Chapter 351: Merger and acquisition of Uber to dominate China’s online ride-hailing market!

After Shanhai Capital became the owner of Didi Travel, under the promotion of Ruan Yao, taxis, private cars, express cars, rides, carpooling, driver-in-arms, buses, public transport and freight services began to fully integrate into the Moss Ai system.

Some drivers who registered with both Didi and Uber Huaguo gradually discovered that Didi’s dispatch system became more intelligent and user-friendly.

There are no detour tickets or empty tickets!
In the past, only 8 to 300 yuan of running water can be run in 400 hours. After deducting fuel costs, maintenance and depreciation losses, at most it can earn hard work.

Now at the same time, you can make at least 800 Chinese dollars, and your income has soared by 60%.

Who can resist the temptation of money?

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

Even if Uber China's management continues to use money to win over drivers and passengers, and launch high-level subsidies, it still won't help.

Didi Travel is backed by Shanhai, Penguin and Ali. In terms of financial strength, it is not inferior to Uber Huaguo.

The money-burning game has entered the final stage!
Not long after, the investors behind Uber: Vanguard Group, Bedley Fund, Gowling Capital, etc., under the joint persuasion of Zhou Xiaoyu and Paul, were willing to shake hands and agree to the merger plan.

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

A middle-aged Caucasian man with Mediterranean hair, wearing a dark suit, announced with a deadpan expression.

"Why? Petty, I am the head of strategy for Uber Greater China. You have no right to do this!"

Liu Zhen frowned, dissatisfied with this, looking unbelievable.

"This is the unanimous decision of all the management. Your operation strategy has wasted a lot of money. Badley, Gao Lin, including Pioneer, are all impatient.

Externally, we will claim that you resigned on your own and retain a certain amount of respect and dignity for you. "

Petty spread his hands and said that he was just an executor.

Liu Zhen was silent, thinking of the call from her cousin last night. Although she had been prepared for it, she didn't expect it to come so quickly.

What she didn't expect even more was that the subsequent merger case was originally the highlight moment for her and Liu Qing.

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

In this life, he suffered the fate of being eliminated!
Liu Zhen thought for a moment without arguing. With her academic resume and family background, it would not be difficult to find another senior executive position.

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

Walking out of Uber's headquarters in Greater China, she made a 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.

New Didi Company was established with a price ratio of 4:1. Shanhai Capital became the well-deserved largest shareholder with a shareholding ratio of 27.8% and voting rights of 61.5%.

This unicorn in the travel field has officially come under the jurisdiction of Shanhai Group.

The "subsidy war" has come to an end, and the online ride-hailing industry has entered a period of rapid and stable development. Different from the previous generation, the charging standards for express buses are no different from taxis.

"If you compete on price, the service will only get worse. Didi's advantage lies in having a large number of drivers and idle private car resources, and it is not lower than the bus fare."

Chen Heyu's requirements for Didi are very clear, not to engage in price wars!

If a driver wants to increase his income, he must first improve his service rating.

If the score is less than 3 points, the account will be banned directly; if the score is less than 4 points, the income will be discounted at [-]%.

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

……

Lao Wang is one of them. After losing his job in middle age, he simply gritted his teeth and joined the online ride-hailing army because he could not find a suitable job.

Every day comes and goes, but after deducting expenses, I still have a balance of more than 500 Chinese dollars, which is enough to support my family.

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

When Lao Wang heard the system prompt, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips. Since Didi's upgrade and revision, the order dispatching mechanism has become more and more reasonable, greatly improving the order receiving efficiency.

He glanced at the pick-up address, it was just 1.3 kilometers away, and he 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. I have arrived at the designated location. How long will it take for you to arrive?"

Lao Wang called the passenger and asked politely.

"Wait, why are you urging me?"

A grumpy voice came from the other side, with an extremely impatient tone. After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Lao Wang sneered. During the time he was working as an online car-hailing company, he had hardly ever seen Wei, and there were many people with bad tempers.

Didi Travel has launched a two-way rating system. Not only can passengers rate drivers, but drivers can also rate passengers negatively.

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

Lao Wang didn't take it seriously. He was in the service industry, so there was nothing he could do about it.

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

"Walk with me on the streets of Chengdu

Don't stay until all the lights go out..."

The phone rang suddenly. Lao Wang clicked the answer button and heard the other person scolding him: "I'm at the gate of the community. Where are you? Didn't I say that? Believe it or not, I'm going to file a complaint against you!"

Lao Wang stuck his head out, looked at the empty gate of the community, and asked with a smile: "I'm at the south gate. Did you make a mistake in your location?"

"Impossible! I'm clearly targeting the North Gate. You must have modified it secretly. Come and pick me up right away, or I'll complain to you!"

The passenger's attitude was tough.

“Can I reroute my passengers?”

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

He took a look at the location, and it was clearly marked on the software as being at the south gate. He could only smile helplessly, and it was only a few hundred meters away, so he didn't bother to worry about it.

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

After a while, a beautiful woman about 30 years old appeared in front of her pushing a suitcase.

"She is beautiful, but her mouth is really bad. She always complains. Whoever marries such a woman will be really unlucky for eight lifetimes."

Lao Wang secretly thought.

"Hi, is this the passenger with tail number 2380?"

he asked with a smile.

"It's me, why are you so slow? If my flight is delayed, you can't afford the compensation."

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

Lao Wang shook his head and opened the trunk obediently.

"Bang" to a sound!
The female passenger closed the car door vigorously, sat in, crossed her legs, gesticulated and said: "Hurry up and drive!"

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

But before driving a few hundred meters, the woman shouted impatiently: "Why did you take this road? Did you deliberately take a detour to steal my money?"

"Hello, the route is planned by the platform, and it is also the best choice considering the current road conditions."

Old Wang explained.

"I don't care, I hit your car, you should listen to me! What are you doing? I'm really speechless."

the woman yelled.

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

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

"What the hell, it's hard work! Just go wherever I tell you!"

Women are unwilling to change course.

"Then I have no choice but to follow the route specified by the system. Temporary adjustments to the route may incur additional fees. The platform will determine that I have taken a detour and penalize me.

Besides, aren't you in a hurry?Take the system route and you will never 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 you and send it to Douyin to expose you." The female passenger continued to make trouble for no reason.

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

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

The clay figurine is still very angry, not to mention this person. He wants to complain and expose him again and again, which really makes people angry.

"Humph!"

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

Lao Wang sneered. The route designated by Moss must have its reason. After more than a month of testing, he found that unless it was a newly built road, it had not been updated into the system.

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

really!

Not long after the car adjusted its route, it encountered a traffic jam.

Lao Wang looked calm and relaxed.

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

"Can't you drive faster? It's so slow! There won't be anyone for a while, so drive to 120!"

the woman scolded.

"Oh, there's a traffic jam ahead. My Mazda is not in airplane mode. Besides, the speed limit on this road is 80. Will you pay the fine for me?"

Lao Wang said slowly.

"you……"

The woman was furious and didn't know how to fight back. This was the path she was clamoring to take.

Can you blame the driver?

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

Under the constant urging of the woman, an hour later, we finally arrived at the airport drop-off area.

"You wait for me!"

The woman picked up her suitcase and ran to the waiting room. Before she left, she did not forget to say something vicious.

Lao Wang smiled slightly, and the platform recorded the whole process, he was afraid of a fart!
Unlike before, Didi only listened to the passengers' opinions. As long as he was reasonable, he was fearless.

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

As for this strange female passenger, he directly gave it a 1 point without any mercy, hoping to avoid the lightning for other colleagues.

"Sorry ma'am, you are late, I suggest you transfer to a subsequent flight."

After hearing what the counter staff said, the female passenger showed a pleading expression: "Let me go, I'm only a few minutes late."

"If you want to go through the no-show confirmation procedure, I can help you do it, but a 5% fee will be charged."

The staff remained unmoved and looked calm.

"Can you please be accommodating? I have a very important business trip and I can't delay it."

The woman pestered.

"Please give way first, I have to deal with the business of the passengers behind me."

The staff member said disgustedly and rolled his eyes at the woman. Who do you think he is, and he wants to open a special passage?

Seeing that the negotiation was fruitless, the woman had no choice but to go out and take a taxi, preparing to go to the train station and take the high-speed rail.

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

"what's the situation?"

She was bewildered.

"Dear user, due to your bad behavior of insulting the driver for a long time, the user score is lower than 3.0, and the account will be canceled in a week. If there is any unused balance, please complete the withdrawal as soon as possible..."

Titled!

She was stunned for a moment. In her limited memory, she only scolded a few low-class people who ran online ride-hailing companies, but Didi actually wanted to block her account!
unacceptable!

She didn't think there was anything wrong with her, so after stopping a taxi, she immediately posted the matter on Douyin with embellishments.

But things turned out not to go as she had imagined, and there was a lot of scolding on the Internet.

right!All of them were scolding her!

"Wow! It's the first time I saw someone expose myself online, it's so scary!"

"Let me tell you, this driver has a really good temper! If it were me, I would tell her to get out of here immediately!"

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

At the same time, the after-sales department of the Didi platform noticed this popular video and contacted the female passenger to ask for the order number.

"You must punish this driver. He caused my flight to be delayed. Do you know how much damage it will cause me?"

The female passenger shouted.

"Dear Madam, we will call you back within 3 hours to inform you of the result."

The customer service staff at the after-sales service responded politely.

She found this person's account information based on the order number, and the score was only 2.3. What kind of outrageous thing must he have done for the driver to give such a low score.

Immediately, the after-sales department quickly found the recording, and after double verification by Moss Intelligence and manual personnel, it was unanimously determined that the driver had no responsibility.

Finally, the public relations department of Didi Travel sent the original recording file to Douyin and Weibo. The result was that the female passenger's account was blocked and her mobile phone number was unable to use Didi's services for life.

"Well done! Drivers are human beings too, and the platform cannot blindly favor passengers. This way of handling the situation is very satisfying."

“It turns out that the purpose of online ride-hailing recording is to protect the driver!”

"She was clearly the one who was yelling at people, but she slapped people backwards and kept saying that the driver was swearing! She can turn black and white too much!"

There were only a few passers-by standing by for female passengers.

This incident also serves as a reminder to all users that evading orders or beating or scolding drivers will be permanently banned from the platform.

The same is true for drivers. If the service attitude is poor, points will be deducted and fined, or even permanently banned.

Didi is the only one left in the country. Although the requirements are strict, users readily accepted it after getting used to it for a period of time.

Because the sense of experience and security have obviously been greatly improved!
On the other hand, Didi began to reduce its staff, and Ruan Yao fired a large number of middle and high-level managers who took advantage of marketing expenses and fake hospitality payments.

The extra labor costs were used to improve the salaries and benefits of lower-level employees. After some turmoil, the company's cohesion became stronger and stronger.

After Chen Heyu got the business and financial statements, he quickly read them and showed a satisfied smile.

In the eyes of others, Ruan Yao betrayed Chen Wei. In his opinion, Ruan Yao was obedient and willing to do what he was told, and was hundreds of times stronger than Chen Wei.

If it was just poor ability, he wouldn't think of kicking Chen Wei away, but this person is not capable enough, and he still wants to keep controlling power, desperately wasting his financing funds, and he has been able to bear it until now, which is considered super patient.

……

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

Lao Xiao sat on a wicker chair in the yard and grinned.

"No problem. If you want to take a vacation, just ask Lao Lin. I'm not a slut. I have to let you make a few movies a year."

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

"Wandering Earth 2 is almost finished. Lao Guo was still complaining the last time we met. As the big boss, you haven't even visited the studio once."

Xiao Yang chuckled, turned around and sold Guo Fan.

"How can I have time? I have to guard my precious daughter."

Chen Heyu waved his hand, leaned back, and turned to look at Luo Wenwen, who was not far away, taking photos of flowers with a camera.

With a few months left until the due date, he dared not go far.

In order to kill time, the little girl picked up her hobby from college and practiced photography skills at home, preparing to record her growth process after the baby is born.
