Chapter 429: 419: Didi raises funds, the small yellow car is launched

Some people may ask, since DeepBlue itself has not invested in it, are these foreign investors stupid?
In fact, these foreign capitals are not fools. If they were really fools, then there would be no fools in the capital market.

The reason why they are willing to invest in Didi Chuxing is that the venture capital profits are too high.

Marx said: If there is a 100% profit, the capitalists will take risks; if there is a 200% profit, the capitalists will disregard the law; if there is a 300% profit, then the capitalists will trample on all the laws in the world.

The future profit of investing in Didi Taxi will definitely exceed 300%. Moreover, there is no problem with Didi Taxi's accounts, and there is no problem with Didi Taxi's model. What's more, Didi Taxi is the largest taxi platform in China.

For capital, even if they don’t understand why Deep Blue Group wants Didi Dache to raise funds.

As long as there is no apparent problem with Didi Taxi, they will not hesitate to invest in Didi Taxi if there is an opportunity, even if Deep Blue Group is their enemy.

In the eyes of capital, there are only eternal interests but no eternal enemies.

The President's Office of Shenlan Group in Shenlan Industrial Park.

At this moment, Han Chen was drinking tea with a young man in his early thirties at the tea table.

The man is Cheng Wei, the second-in-command of Didi Dache, who was poached from Ali by DeepBlue Direct Hire. If DeepBlue Direct Hire had not poached him from Ali, he would have left Ali in 2012.

After leaving Ali, the man and several friends founded Xiaoju Technology and launched the mobile car-hailing software Didi Dache in Zhongguancun, Beijing.

Coincidentally, the reason why DeepBlue Direct Hire poached him was not because Han Chen suggested it, but because DeepBlue Direct Hire felt that he was suitable for AutoNavi Taxi, so they poached him from Ali to AutoNavi Taxi.

In other words, DeepBlue Direct Hire indirectly strangled Didi Chuxing in its cradle.

"Cheng Wei, the reason why I asked you to come to Shenzhen Stock Exchange is because the company has a new project. This project needs a person in charge. Shenlan Direct Hire thinks you are very suitable, so they recommended you here. If you personally don't want to go to the new company, then just pretend what happened today never happened." Han Chen said as he poured Cheng Wei a cup of freshly brewed tea.

"Mr. Han, what is this new project?" Cheng Wei asked curiously.

"I call this project the sharing economy. The way it works is that the company will buy a large number of two-wheeled electric vehicles and put them on the streets, such as next to subways, schools, or busy neighborhoods.

Users only need to scan the code to use these electric vehicles. The purpose is to solve the problem of short-distance travel for users, which is a bit similar to car rental.

For example, if your home is a 15-minute walk from the subway, and there is a shared electric bike at your doorstep, you can use it by just scanning the code, would you choose to spend two yuan to ride the shared electric bike to the subway door or walk?" Han Chen asked.

"If it only costs two dollars, I would choose to ride a shared electric bike," Cheng Wei replied.

"Sharing electric bikes not only reduces users' travel costs, but also solves the public's short-distance travel problems and resolves the safety risks of electric bicycles from multiple dimensions.

Shared electric vehicles, as a convenient means of transportation, meet the public's demand for short-distance travel, especially in cities, providing citizens with a fast and convenient way to travel.

The sharing economy will definitely become a major trend in the future. Are you willing to serve as the general manager of this project?" Han Chen said with a smile.

"Mr. Han, I do." Cheng Wei nodded.

Cheng Wei is a smart man. After Han Chen’s brief description just now, he can already imagine the prospects of shared electric vehicles. He knows that the future of shared electric vehicles is not inferior to online car-hailing.

"When you go back, think carefully about how to operate shared bicycles and write a detailed operation plan. As for electric cars, you don't have to worry about them. I have already developed them from Deep Blue Automobile. The company can purchase them directly from Deep Blue Automobile." Han Chen said.

The electric two-wheeler is not a high-tech product. Deep Blue Automobile made it in half a day. It can be used as long as an application is developed.

"Okay, Mr. Han." Cheng Wei nodded.

"Do this project well with all your heart. This project will raise funds in the future. As long as you perform well, the company will reward you with certain shares." Han Chen said.

Cheng Wei was delighted to hear that this project would receive financing in the future. Although the salary the company gave them was already very high, who would complain that the money given by the boss was too much?

"I will try my best, Mr. Han." Cheng Wei said with a smile.

"Let's call the company Ofo Yellow Car, but the company hasn't been established yet. Where should the company be registered and where should the office be located? You should think about these things carefully when you go back. I will ask the secretariat to contact you later and they will assist you in completing these tasks." Han Chen said.

"Okay, Mr. Han." Cheng Wei replied.

"Okay, go back to the hotel and make a plan. Come back and talk to me after you've made a plan." Han Chen said.

"Okay, Mr. Han." Cheng Wei nodded.

September 2015, 6, China time.

At 7: in the morning at the gate of a residential area in Shenzhen
Fan Ruqiang walked out of the community gate and was about to go to the nearby steamed bun shop to buy breakfast. At this moment, he saw a yellow electric car parked on the sidewalk. If it was just an electric car, he would definitely not pay attention to it.

There was just a row of yellow electric vehicles parked there, and it was hard for him not to notice them.

Driven by curiosity, Fan Ruqiang planned to go over and see what these yellow electric cars were.

When he got closer, he saw the words "Shared Electric Cars" written on the shared bike. Scan the QR code with WeChat to use it.

Maybe he didn't understand what the words "shared electric vehicles can be used by scanning the QR code via WeChat" meant, but he understood what they meant, so Fan Ruqiang took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code on the electric vehicle.

After scanning the code, the WeChat mini program popped up immediately. After the mini program popped up, another announcement popped up, which stated how to use shared electric vehicles.

At this moment, he finally understood what this so-called shared electric car was all about.

"This thing is really convenient." Fan Ruqiang couldn't help but admire.

So Fan Ruqiang clicked to confirm, unlocked the electric bike, and drove to a nearby breakfast shop.

In a blink of an eye, it was already 8:.

Today, Fan Ruqiang arrived at the company half an hour earlier than usual. The entire company was still empty, so Fan Ruqiang had to sit at his seat and eat breakfast.

At 8:45, the colleague sitting next to Fan Ruqiang came to the company. He was surprised to see Fan Ruqiang coming to the company so early.

Because Fan Ruqiang lives quite far away, he usually arrives at the company on time, but today he arrived even earlier than him.

"Old Fan, why did you come so early today?" Wang Dao asked after putting down his shoulder bag. "Did you see those yellow electric bikes on the sidewalk when you came?" Fan Ruqiang asked.

"I saw it." Wang Dao replied.

"Usually I walk to the subway station and take the subway, which takes 15 minutes. In the morning, I rode that thing to the subway entrance, and then rode that thing to the company after I got to the subway entrance. So I came a little earlier today." Fan Ruqiang said.

"Can those yellow electric bikes be ridden casually?" Wang Dao asked in surprise.

Because Wang Dao drove to the company, he did not notice the words on the yellow car.

"Those electric bikes are shared electric bikes. You can ride them just by scanning the code to pay. It's just like renting a car, except that people rent electric bikes. It costs two yuan every 10 minutes, and a monthly package costs 99 yuan. I was late once and was fined more than 99 yuan. I have to say this thing is really convenient.

With this thing, I don't have to rush to the company any more." Fan Ruqiang said.

"Do I need to pay a deposit to rent this electric car?" Wang Dao asked curiously.

"You don't need to pay rent, but you must park in the designated place, otherwise you will be fined. The specific parking locations are marked on the map. Just park in the designated place." Fan Ruqiang said.

"According to what you said, this thing is quite convenient. I don't have to drive to buy vegetables in the future. I saw a lot of electric cars at the entrance of the vegetable market. It costs 10 yuan for me to park my car there. If it was just the parking fee, it would be fine. The key is that parking spaces are particularly difficult to find.

I don't know who came up with this thing, it's really convenient." Wang Dao praised.

"No need to think about it, it was most likely done by the Deep Blue Group." Fan Ruqiang said.

"Why do you say that?" Wang Dao asked curiously.

“This thing uses the WeChat applet, and the payment platform is Deep Blue Pay. But this thing suddenly appeared. Apart from Deep Blue Group, do you think there is any other company that has such courage? Didn’t Didi Taxi come from Deep Blue?

Whether it is Didi Taxi or shared electric vehicles, their common core concept is sharing, using very few resources to create more value." Fan Ruqiang said.

"Old Fan is worthy of being a top student at Tsinghua University. He can see the essence of this thing at a glance." Wang Dao said, raising his thumb.

Soon the news about the shared bikes spread on the internet.

"Does anyone know what those yellow electric cars on the streets are about?"

"Can't you see? Isn't it clearly written on the car that it is a shared electric car? You can use it by scanning the QR code with WeChat."

"You know what? The person who invented the shared electric bike is a genius. When I came out of the subway station this morning, I thought I was going to be late. Thanks to this shared electric bike, I wasn't late."

"Can anyone explain in detail what this little yellow car is all about?"

"Do you know anything about car rental? Others rent cars, but they rent electric cars. They can use them by scanning a code."

“Do I need to pay a deposit to use this car?”

"No deposit is required, 10 minutes is two yuan, and an hour is 12 yuan. I have to say it is really convenient."

"Which city are you from? Why are there no shared bikes here?"

"Currently, the small yellow bikes are only available in Shenzhen, but they will be available in other cities soon."

"How did the people above know that it's only available in Shenzhen?"

“It’s written in the app of the shared bike.”

"The yellow bikes are convenient, but they're too slow. I turned the accelerator all the way and it was no different from riding a bicycle."

"It's clearly written on the bikes that for safety reasons the top speed is 25 kilometers per hour. If you're not in a hurry, 25 kilometers per hour is more than enough. And it's mainly used for short distances. Generally speaking, it's much faster than walking."

"It takes me 10 minutes to walk from my home to the subway station, and another 10 minutes to walk from the subway station to the office. Now I can get there in 5 minutes by taking the shared yellow car. I have to say that this thing is really convenient. The person who invented the shared yellow car is really a genius."

Although the shared bikes did not do any publicity, the news about them spread all over the country. Many netizens envied Shenzhen for having shared bikes and hoped that they could be developed in their cities.

The reason why the Ofo project was able to be launched in such a short time was, firstly, because Han Chen had already found a manufacturer to mass-produce two-wheeled electric vehicles, and secondly, because this project was under the Deep Blue Group.

Shenzhen Blue Group has a superior position in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Cheng Wei only communicated with the Shenzhen Municipal Government a few times, and the Shenzhen Municipal Government agreed to the shared bike project.

Besides, this project can bring tens of billions of GDP and thousands of jobs to Shenzhen every year.

Once the shared bikes become bigger, it will be a very impressive political achievement for them. Moreover, shared bikes have a very complete planning and management system. They simply cannot find a reason to reject shared bikes.

Shenzhen Ofo Technology Co., Ltd., 15th Floor, Jinkai Building, Futian District, Shenzhen.

General Manager's Office.

"The boss is really a genius. This project is a success." Cheng Wei said excitedly with his fists clenched as he looked at the data on the monitor.

This time, Ofo launched a total of 5 shared electric vehicles in Shenzhen, and users used them as many as 7 times from 9:5000 a.m. to a.m.

Cheng Wei immediately picked up the phone on the table and called the company's three vice presidents to the office for a meeting. He wanted to arrange for these vice presidents to go to other cities to negotiate with the government about the launch of the shared bike service.

In fact, they can put the shared bikes into operation even without negotiating with the government.

It was just when Cheng Wei submitted the plan that Han Chen talked to Cheng Wei about this matter. Han Chen told him that before the shared bikes were put into use, they must communicate with the local government and ask them to draw up designated parking areas.

Doing so will not only make it easier for Ofo to manage shared trams, but also make it easier for the government to manage Ofo, while preventing Ofo from being parked anywhere by users.

In addition, a perfect management system can also significantly reduce the management costs of the shared bikes.

Otherwise, it would cost a lot of manpower just to dispatch electric vehicles.

Since the shared electric vehicles in the previous life have already summed up the perfect management plan, there is no need to let Cheng Wei slowly explore it. He can just make up for what Cheng Wei lacks. (End of this chapter)
