I stole someone else's ticket to rebirth

Chapter 363 Li Yang is not a stingy person
The funding for Jisu Taxi's operating expenses was provided by Li Yang, while the cost of purchasing the cars was provided by Jiang Banxia.

Therefore, each of them holds 50% of the shares.

After one year of development, there are now more than 9 million registered users and around 800,000 service staff per day.

A typical case of spending more than income and operating at a loss.

Fortunately, with 300 kilometers of driving every day and 140,000 vehicles, we can obtain a huge amount of data every day to provide support for Jiying Group's intelligent driving algorithm.

Although Jiying Automobile's urban NOC has only been opened in thirteen cities so far, there is hope that it will cover the entire country in the next update.

After all, express taxi-hailing has already developed to major prefecture-level cities. If it were not for insufficient production capacity, it would have the potential to spread to the county level.

The JiSu brand of cars has only two production lines, with a production capacity of 12,000 vehicles per month.

In places like Beijing, there are fewer cars, with only a few hundred cars running in total.

It is mainly in first-, second- and third-tier cities. For example, in first-tier cities, there are about 2,000 vehicles, in second-tier cities there are about 1,200 to 1,300 vehicles, and in third-tier cities, like Beijing, there are about 400 to 500 vehicles.

These certainly cannot meet the demand for taxis, and the mainstream market is still the online car-hailing groups led by Didi.

In another five years, JiSu Taxi may not reach the current scale of Didi Taxi, with millions of drivers.

There are currently more than 100,000 drivers, and the annual expenditure cost is around 10 billion yuan. The threshold for the online car-hailing industry is still not low.

In early June, Didi was listed on Nasdaq as scheduled.

There was no publicity at all, and even on the first day of listing, there was no coverage by domestic media.

The next day, news from all sides appeared, but it was limited to a small scale.

After Li Yang knew about this, he frowned.

I called Jiang Baichuan and asked, "Didi is listed now. You should know the new rules of the US stock market. What do you need to do if you want to be listed there?"

Jiang Baichuan said, "I know, but I wasn't busy enough to come here, so who knew they would move so quickly."

"Oh, I told you this a few months ago, didn't I? Are you still too busy after a few months?"

"This……"

Jiang Baichuan had nothing to say.

The main reason is actually very simple: that matter is not his responsibility.

All he could do was talk to someone and ask them to pay attention and focus on it.

Although Jiang Baichuan's personal statement would certainly be taken seriously, Didi is a huge group after all, with millions of drivers and tens of billions in revenue. How could it investigate without any evidence?
So the matter was just ignored.

The domestic business environment is definitely the most relaxed in the world, especially for companies with a little bit of foreign investment, which receive a lot of green lights.

Of course, this relaxed environment is only relative to some large enterprises, and the operation is very easy.

For example, it is still quite risky to open a store in some small cities, but there will be fewer and fewer such places in the future, after all, the Internet has entered every household.

"Okay, okay, just pretend I never said anything. I'm hanging up!"

Li Yang knew that this matter had nothing to do with Jiang Baichuan, but he was still very unhappy.

The information still leaked out.

Didi has 120 million registered users, and more than 6 million users travel through this taxi-hailing app every day. Many powerful people live a low-key life on weekdays, and taking taxis is a common thing for them, so their data is definitely recorded.

After hanging up the phone with Jiang Baichuan, Li Yang called the general manager of Speed ​​Taxi.

"Beijing will send an additional 3,000 vehicles and recruit enough drivers as soon as possible. This must be completed within three months."

The user stickiness of JiSu Taxi is still very high. With less than 10 million registrations, there are more than 800,000 orders every day. If calculated based on the scale of Didi, the order volume may double.

Li Yang is preparing to seize the market in Beijing!

……

After being ridiculed by Li Yang, Jiang Baichuan directly called the Internet department.

"Brother, did you really not take the Didi incident I told you about to heart?"

"Ah? What did Brother Jiang say?"

"They have already been listed on the Nasdaq, but you didn't hear anything? Do you know what it means for them to be listed on the Nasdaq? It means that they have packaged all their data to the United States."

"what!"

……

It was only on the third day after Didi went public that things really started to ferment.

The main piece of news is that the Internet Office directly moved into Didi’s headquarters to investigate relevant issues of Didi company.

There was no evidence before, but there is evidence now, and listing is the biggest evidence.

Moreover, Kuaipai took the initiative to guide this matter and directly made it a hot search.

Kuaipai now has the largest traffic in China, even surpassing WeChat.

As for the two platforms, Douyin and Kuaishou, there is no comparison at all.

Although it is still a top platform, its daily active users are only 80 to 120 million, while Kuaipai’s daily active users are over 200 million.

Snapping high-quality content is a powerful tool to attract users.

The endless stream of short plays is the best entertainment platform for middle-aged and elderly people.

Under the guidance of a group of science bloggers, many people understood the significance of Didi's listing. In an instant, Didi's reputation collapsed.

There is even a popular trend online called "uninstalling Didi".

This time, the Internet Office was very efficient. After all, Jiang Baichuan had said it a few months ago, but they didn't really pay attention and this kind of thing ended up happening.

If the efficiency is any slower, the relevant responsible persons will have to take the blame.

On the fourth day after Didi went public, all Didi-related apps were removed from all platforms for rectification and new user registrations were prohibited.

In the business battlefield, when a whale dies, everything comes to life.

Previously, Didi’s market share exceeded 80%, and other online ride-hailing companies had no chance to survive.

When Didi suffered a setback, other online ride-hailing companies immediately emerged, the most representative of which was Hua Xiaozhu.

However, the situation of express taxi is lukewarm.

The number of users of Jisu Taxi is increasing, and the number of registrations is also increasing.

However, compared with several other platforms, the increase is relatively low.

But the order volume increased dramatically.

From the previous 800,000 orders per day, the number skyrocketed to 1.4 million orders in just a few days.

Li Yang is not in a hurry to expand the scale quickly. Anyway, there are other online ride-hailing platforms competing in the market, so the entire online ride-hailing industry will not be greatly affected. Instead, users can enjoy more discounts.

If we expand the scale blindly, the service will not keep up and the reputation of Speed ​​Taxi will be ruined.

Didi encountered this kind of black swan, but recovered after a few years. Isn’t it just that other competitors are too rubbish?

Each of them is like a makeshift team. When they are trying to get traffic in the early stage, they don’t know how to expand the scale or how to seize the traffic.

They don’t have the courage to invest tens of billions, and most of them just run away after losing a few hundred million.

In the end, they were forced to integrate and could not make any waves in the market.

Judging from the feedback from Jisu Taxi, there is no problem with the company as a whole. The reason for the small number of orders before was mainly due to habit.

User habits are difficult to change. If you are used to using Didi, it is difficult to switch to another software.

Now that they have a reason to change software, everything will go smoothly.

In essence, the whole world is a makeshift team, and it’s just a competition of who can do it better.

As for making mistakes, everyone makes them, but you can't be wrong everywhere.

In all of Li Yang's companies, mistakes are allowed, but what should be done well must be done well.

There will never be a situation where a brand insults or plays tricks on its customers.

Work efficiency can be lower, and leave can be approved as long as the reason is justified. It is nothing more than hiring more people and increasing operating costs.

But as a driver, you must not be unprofessional, you must not have a bad temper, and you must not be resentful towards customers.

Unfortunately, all the newly emerging online ride-hailing companies have these shortcomings!
It is not just an isolated phenomenon, but a universal phenomenon.

From the company to the driver, everything was wrong.

This is also the reason why they failed.

Li Yang made a plan and expected that by this time next year, the scale of Jisu Taxi would double.

Another thing that Jisu Taxi did behind the scenes was to build charging stations.

Currently, more than 600 large-scale charging stations have been built across the country, and each charging station can charge 50 new energy vehicles at the same time.

According to Jiying Automobile's current slow charging method, 40 kWh of electricity can be charged in eight hours.

Fast charging can charge 65 degrees of electricity in three hours.

Fast charging is still not very good, it can only be said to be barely passable, and there is still room for improvement in technology. Many domestic companies are researching fast charging technology. When there were fewer orders before, most of the drivers of Speed ​​Taxi had never experienced what it was like to work overtime.

Since the number of orders increased, they began to experience it.

The hourly overtime wage is twenty-five dollars, which is not much, but many people like to earn it.

Bangs are one of them.

He was divorced, unemployed, and had to take care of children and support his parents. The series of pressures on him made him collapse.

Even though his monthly salary was tens of thousands before, there is no need for a position like his now.

Ever since he became a driver for Speed ​​Taxi, he feels like he has been reborn.

The company takes care of his child, and he can get more than 5,000 yuan every month from various subsidies.

The most important thing is that in life, he no longer has that confusion and sense of urgency.

Even though he only earns this little every month, he has no worries. He doesn't have to worry about whether he will have no money next month, or whether his children's parents will have unexpected expenses.

After working eight hours a day, he still has plenty of time to spend with his family.

In the past, it was hard for him to imagine living happily with a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan.

He doesn't receive many customers every day. On average, there are only about twenty trips a day, and each trip is an average of five kilometers.

If it were any other driver, this kind of business would starve him to death.

Not only did he not starve to death, he even saved money.

After a year, I saved almost 20,000 yuan, which I used to buy shares of Wanliu Capital.

There have been more orders recently, with an average of more than 50 trips per day. The original eight-hour working time is not enough to complete them, so the company has set up an overtime service.

Everyone voluntarily chooses to work overtime for one hour, two hours, or three hours.

He chose to work overtime for three hours without hesitation, in order to get an extra midnight snack subsidy of 25 yuan.

With this calculation, if you work overtime for three hours, you can get 100 yuan in overtime pay.

He was forced to take a rest on Sunday as it was company policy.

He had already worked overtime on Saturday and was not allowed to work overtime on Sunday.

He brought his children and parents out to play, and called over a few old friends.

Those old friends have also been unemployed and at home recently, but their wives are good and they did not squander the money they earned before, so they have a certain amount of savings, which is enough to keep going.

"Old Liu, you look much better."

"Haha, I never thought in my life that I could be so happy with 4,000 yuan a month. I always felt that it was not enough to spend when I earned 40,000 yuan before, and I was exhausted every day. Now..."

Even though Liu Hai's friend hasn't found a job, he hasn't thought about becoming an online taxi driver.

However, they would not criticize Liu Hai, but instead said: "It means that you have walked out of the shadow of the past, which is a good sign. No matter what you do, as long as you are happy, it is better than anything else."

"Fuck, don't think I didn't hear you guys are laughing at me."

"What a joke! Have you ever seen an unemployed person laugh at a employed person?"

Liu Hai smiled and said, "Brothers, I'm going to tell you the truth. I think the world is changing. The old ways won't work anymore. Li Yang will soon dominate the entire business world. I'm going to say this. If you want to listen, listen. If you don't want to listen, just pretend nothing happened... Buy shares of Wanliu Capital..."

"How to say?"

"Take my current company, JiSu Taxi, for example. It's a very small company under Jiying Group, and its business scale is not large, but do you know how many drivers we have now? 140,000 insured drivers and nearly 150,000 employees of various kinds."

"What does this mean?"

"It shows that a more standardized and more secure business platform is emerging! The overall structure of Jiying Group is like this. There is also Lushui Group. Although I have never been there, I know something about it. They are setting standards for industries across the country. The standards for the retail industry are set by Lushui Group, the industrial standards are set by Jiying Group, and the financial standards are set by Wanliu Capital..."

“Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?”

"Who knows? Anyway, that's how I feel. I feel so comfortable working in a small company like Jisu Taxi. It suppresses my desire to earn tens of thousands of dollars a month. It's hard to imagine what it feels like to work at the headquarters of Jiying Group."

“High expenses mean high costs!”

"Have the sales of Jiying Automobile dropped now? Even the style of luxury brands has become vague. Not to mention Lushui Group, now there is a Lushui Yanxuan online, which is the largest sales. Look at the stock price of a certain fish, it has doubled in less than a month."

"MouYu is just a small company. Any good news can increase its stock price in a short period of time..."

"Well, I'm just saying this casually, guys, just treat it as me chatting..."

……

After get off work, Li Yang returned to Ruyi Pavilion.

He has been a little busy during this period. The Jiying Automobile Workshop in Beijing has attracted many people to visit and nominate, and he has to accompany them throughout the whole process.

He was also happy to take part in a few shots of the seven o'clock drama.

After Jiying Automobile expanded its production, its monthly production capacity is about 42,000 units. At present, the expansion has been completed and its peak production capacity has been reached.

But the order volume still cannot be met.

At present, the order volume has not only not decreased, but has been increasing, and there are still 200,000 orders in the production schedule.

For this reason, Jiying Automobile was forced to introduce delayed compensation. If the order was not delivered within three months, the company would pay compensation of 500 yuan per day thereafter.

Many orders have already started to be paid.

There is no way around it. Each production line requires an investment of nearly 10 billion yuan, and the arrangements in all aspects are very complicated. He cannot continue to expand production, and even if he does, it is not now.

Jiying Automobile has been expanding its production and needs some time to settle down.

After coming back, he didn't see Liu Ruyi. Knowing that she was busy in the kitchen, he went to the box.

As soon as I opened the door of the box, I saw Song Yu sitting there drinking tea. Her profile was very beautiful.

The rich ladies are all top-notch in terms of appearance. Liu Ruyi is intellectual and charming, while Song Yu is mature and elegant.

Li Yang thought about it and realized that he hadn’t seen Song Yu for half a month.

Since that drink, I met her three times. Each time, we sat together and had a simple meal and admired her clothes.

Song Yu seemed a little restrained when he saw Li Yang.

Before she could say anything, Li Yang sat next to her, put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Sister Song, give me a kiss."

Li Yang pointed to his face.

Song Yu was at a loss for words and stammered, "Um...I..."

Before she could finish, Li Yang's other hand had already covered her in front and he took her into his arms.

……

In the kitchen, Song Yu was chatting with Liu Ruyi and helping to wash the vegetables.

Song Yu said with some concern: "I wonder if Li Yang will be unhappy to see Xiao Li. After all, the two of them have some grudges."

Liu Ruyi said: "What's the big deal? He's not a stingy person. It's been so long since the incident happened, how could he be so petty?"

"Who said that? That guy is very narrow-minded. Also, Xiaoli has a bad temper. If Li Yang says something to her and she gets angry, I don't know how it will end. Please help me keep an eye on her..."

Song Yu knew there was a problem, but he still brought Song Xiaoli here.

The reason is simple, you can't hide forever.

Sooner or later, Song Xiaoli will have to face Li Yang to resolve the previous small conflict, otherwise Song Yu will not be able to help his sister openly.

"Okay, okay, okay..." Liu Ruyi agreed from the side.

Anyway, in her eyes, Li Yang would never be angry with Song Xiaoli.

Song Yu also felt a lot more relieved, as Liu Ruyi was there to help suppress Li Yang's anger.

Not to mention Li Yang, even she likes Liu Ruyi very much.

Liu Ruyi has more than just a pretty face. She can also easily capture a person's stomach and integrate into their soul.

"Is Li Yang coming back soon? I'll go talk to Xiao Li and ask her to not be so irritable later!"

After saying that, she put down the half-washed dishes.

Liu Ruyi smiled and said, "I think you just want to be lazy!"

After saying that, she took over the dishes that Song Yu had half washed.

Song Yu doesn't know how to do kitchen work.

Unlike her, she not only knows how to do kitchen work, but can also...

Thinking of this, she felt a little regretful that Song Yu did not agree with her opinion.

……

Outside the box, Song Yu walked to the door and heard some noise coming from inside.

Very strange movement.

She pushed the door open carefully, and the scene that came into view made her eyes widen, and she subconsciously covered her lips with her hands.
