Age of Dreams

In mid-March, Xiao Qi asked Hoffman to lead the establishment of Uber.

Uber put it plainly is a taxi-hailing software, its most important key lies in the excellent software.

The first is a premium algorithm for drivers and users, which can automatically make a matching price at any time based on morning and evening peaks, congestion, remoteness and prosperity, etc., so that companies, drivers, and users can profit.

The second is the automatic matching algorithm. After the user places an order, the system software will automatically search and send the information to the nearest driver. After the driver confirms, even if the order is received, other drivers cannot grab the order, and the user does not need to be robbed. After receiving the order, the driver in the distance waited for a long time before getting on the bus.

There are also some maps that match, but don’t worry, they are free and can be used accurately, as long as they are connected to the Internet.

It seems that these programs and functions are very cool.

But in fact, for professional programmers, as long as you give out these requirements and open up their ideas, it is not very difficult to apply them to actual software.

Just like now, in just one month, uber's program has been developed and entered the stage of actual testing.

In fact, many Americans are as sophisticated and strict as the Germans, even the Chinese. The difference is whether you [the supervision is strict, and whether the people who do things want to do good things from the bottom of their hearts.

Dozens of engineers are all serious people.

Few people will act carelessly when it comes to their own business.

Xiao Qi invested 500 million US dollars in the first investment, gave them the corresponding shares, and a high salary. Of course, they must be worthy of the price.

They can also see the bright future of Uber, and join in when the company is starting up. But things that countless people dream of.

What's more, this is the company of Xiao Qi, the richest man in the world. Based on what everyone knows about Xiao Qi, all those who have invested heavily in the creation of Xiao Qi are very good companies.

In this case, what are you hesitating about, work hard. Follow Xiao Qi to make money together!

As the top experts in related industries in Silicon Valley, this group of engineers come from different fields. Combining their efforts, the uber program is not that difficult.

Not to mention that Xiao Qi has already explained what functions uber needs at the beginning of the development. They only need to do things according to the requirements, and at most it is perfect.

In fact, at the very beginning, they imposed such strict rules on Xiao Qi. Very dissatisfied.

Engineers are people with unconstrained imagination. They like to play freely, and they like to perfect a piece of software or invention in constant exploration.

Xiao Qi is not an expert in this area, but he has set so many specific requirements and rules that make them feel that Xiao Qi has a feeling of "a layman commanding an insider".

But after the gradual research and development, they were shocked to discover the function of the entire software. Nothing is necessary, and nothing is not the best match. None is the best! !

They want to add some functions to improve, but they find that there is nothing particularly worth adding. At best, it is just a trivial matter.

In general, Xiao Qi had already decided on the functions before the research and development, and there was no error at all!

This is especially true during actual testing.

Even engineers use it. All feel very comfortable and attractive.

It's amazing! !

It's as if Xiao Qi had seen such an uber before, an uber that was actually used!

"No way, a genius boy is a genius boy. People have already calculated it completely in their minds. Is this ability that ordinary people can have? It is ridiculous that we still question him. Now that I think about it, it is really a fool!"

Such remarks are widely circulated in the engineering team.

Hoffman also heard this, but he just smiled.

He knows a lot about how genius Xiao Qi is. Let’s take a look at the industry that Xiao Qi asked him to establish in the past two years!

Which one of these has not become an emerging industry sought after by Wall Street, and which one is not a genius idea worth billions to tens of billions of dollars?

Now Hoffman’s uber is one, and the other square mobile phone card reader company is not inferior to the previous ones. Even Hoffman feels that, except for the above, none of the above is better than uber. And square is better.

Slightly ignore the exclamation of the engineers.

Now that it has been developed, Hoffman has previously found a good group of marketing elites. During the actual test, he communicated with the engineers throughout the process and learned about the excellence of uber.

Then the most important task is left to them, let them discuss how to promote and operate.

Of the 5% shares that Xiao Qi gave to the management team, the engineers got 2% of the shares, and the marketing elites got 3% of the shares. Although it was slightly unfair, considering that the whole idea was Xiao Qi's. The engineers just make and perfect it, so 2% treat them well.

The real success of uber is actually half of the credit for software and marketing.

If you want to promote this taxi-hailing software to the entire United States and the world, the role of a group of marketing elites must not be ignored.

Here, Hoffman’s uber president is Liberty, the president of the largest car rental company in the United States.

There are three brands under the group. Among them, this company is mainly engaged in the temporary car rental market. You can find someone whose car is broken on weekdays, or if you need to rent a car in an emergency.

There are many outlets in the United States. Although each outlet only has a few cars on average, it is convenient and fast, and it is very popular among ordinary Americans.

Li Bote, 43 years old this year, has been around since the company was founded. Then he achieved today's results under his own handwork, which is considered very talented.

Hoffman offered an annual salary of 5 million U.S. dollars in one breath, plus 1% of the shares, and dug this elite talent to Uber.

The reason why I was looking for Liberty is that on the one hand, he is very capable, and on the other hand, his model is similar to Uber's. It is easy for him to get started, and it is easy for him to apply his own experience to it.

The reason Liberty came to Uber is even simpler. The company that Xiao Qi personally invested in has such a broad future. He can still have 1% of the shares, which is much better.

In fact, these professional managers in the United States feel normal about job-hopping.

When I work in your company, I must be serious and responsible. But if there is better room for development, I will also leave. Anyway, there is only one.

This is why big companies will use equity incentives or other methods to retain elite cadres.

Liberty has been with Uber since April, and he has learned about the development process of Uber software and its advantages and disadvantages. He has more than ten years of rich work experience and discussed with a group of subordinates. After consulting the ace lawyers of Mario Law Firm, he quickly formulated a very detailed development strategy. And the company's system and terms.

These strategies were all sent to Xiao Qi's mailbox. After reading them carefully, the teenager replied to Li Bote with the word "", telling him to do what he meant.

The second $1 billion in funds was also credited to Uber's company account the day after Xiao Qi replied and agreed.

Liebot was relieved too.

Although Xiao Qi said. Except for sending lawyers and accountants to check at any time, he takes care of all Uber's affairs, but the first step of the plan must be approved by Xiao Qi.

Now Xiao Qi agrees with his idea, plus a huge investment of 1 billion US dollars. Liberty is naturally full of energy and full of energy.

Although the group is large, because it is a private company, there is not so much spare money for Liberty.

Now holding 1 billion US dollars in his hand, Liebot feels that he has a lot of money. Many of the ideas he had before, but no strategies that can be implemented, can finally be used~www.readwn.com~ For a while, he is very concerned about himself. I am very satisfied with joining uber.

So after Liberty recruited customer service staff and general office staff, he started his own experiment in San Francisco, the home of Uber.

The United States is an advertising society.

If you have money, you can let everyone see your products.

Uber appeared in people's field of vision under such circumstances.

Since the initial experiment was only in San Francisco, there is no need to promote it on the Internet for the time being, but in the local print media, television media and paper media, uber's advertising can be done everywhere.

Of course, Li Bote has not forgotten to borrow Xiao Qi's banner, "the new network company founded by Xiao Qi, the chairman of Fairy Company", "Xiao Qi has caused a new revolution in the taxi industry."...etc. Slogans can be seen everywhere.

At a time, there are so many drivers and ordinary people who call uber to consult, and dozens of operators are too busy.

At the same time, the free download software uber, which was placed in the Android store and uber, also ushered in a downloading boom of 80,000 a day-relative to the population of more than 800,000 in San Francisco, this number is already quite amazing!

On the day the advertisement was put into use, Uber had the first driver to sign a contract, and the first user to use Uber the next day.

There is no doubt that Uber is having a good start! (To be continued...)

ps: In the previous month, 500 monthly tickets could rank up to almost 100 people, but now there are about 200 people with 500 monthly tickets, which is really beyond the reach! However, the scholars are very grateful to the brothers for their monthly tickets. Most old friends vote for it every month, thank you! R1292
