Rewrite the Technological Landscape

After the Fengxing taxi-hailing press conference, the market’s reaction to taxi-hailing software has changed significantly.

Many taxi drivers who are going on strike will not go on strike. After all, for them, the most important thing is their income. Most people make trouble because of their income. If the emergence of taxi-hailing software does not affect their income, it may even increase their income. , They are too lazy to make trouble.

As for what the income will become, the result will be known after a month or two of trial. If Meng Qian is found to be lying to them after the trial, then they can continue to make trouble.

They are now more concerned about when the city they live in will come, and when they will be able to enter this platform.

As for Meng Qian's hint at the press conference that several taxi companies deliberately suppressed taxi drivers, many people can understand, but there is no evidence now, some can't help but go to the Internet to scold, and they don't want to Let's take care of this matter.

Now for them, it's over if they join Fengxing quickly, and other things are not so important.

Besides, everyone stopped calling Didi drivers. No matter how you calculate this, you can’t blame Didi drivers. It’s a problem with the platform, but the bosses of the platform can’t beat them.

As for those drivers who made a strong statement not to join the taxi-hailing software, their attitudes have also softened. They are actually unhappy with the strong attitude of the taxi-hailing company. The steps allow them to walk down comfortably.

Moreover, the Dafeng Group is really thinking about them. People are full of flesh, and they can still feel this. The construction, operation, and maintenance of an urban smart taxi system are all money, and the Dafeng Group can completely follow Several other companies ignored them and forced themselves to keep up with the development of the times.

They feel the respect and understanding for users, and the rejection is not so great, and those who really don't have smartphones, now there are 20% of the dispatching cars, and they are indeed solving the problem.

At the same time, a series of technologies developed by Fengxing out of safety considerations are well received by the market, especially highly praised by female users.

Moreover, Fengxing directly recruits drivers for unified management and training, which makes people feel more secure.

On the day when Fengxing was officially launched, the number of users directly exceeded 10 million.

Just one week later, Uber, Didi and other companies began to panic. Judging from the platform data, the users who hail taxis on their platforms now come to take advantage of the first order discount every day, and they will not take the second time when they run out. .

If there is no discount, almost all users will go to Fengxing.

Everyone has spent billions of users fighting for a few months, and it feels like they are cultivating user habits for Fengxing after a long time.

In early August, the executives of several other ride-hailing companies met frequently, trying to find ways to deal with the huge impact of the epidemic.

On August 6, Uber founder Travis Kalanick made a special trip to China to discuss the current issues.

With the help of Huaxia’s user data, Uber was recently discussing further financing. As a result, a popular trend happened halfway, making Uber’s recent data more and more ugly, which made Travis Kalanick very uncomfortable.

Huaxia is the best data swiping market in the world. If you can't take advantage of this market, it will be difficult to open your mouth in the financing circle.

"Fengxing doesn't seem to have invested too much in discounts?" Kalanick read all the latest data before coming.

"Well, Dafeng Group did not affect the second round of money-burning war as the market imagined, and the overall discount is not very strong, but as the market analysis said, Fengxing is a unique product, because as a car-hailing For software, its core competitiveness is not price, or even service to be precise, but technology.

Although Meng Qian has been talking about services, Fengxing's series of service measures have strong technical support behind them, so that it is difficult for us to imitate. "

"But shouldn't users be most concerned about the price? I see that many people on the Internet are pointing out the price of the popular car."

"But Fengxing also has Kuaiche. The discount of Fengxing Express is similar to ours. For users who want discounts, they can choose Fengxing Express, and now there seem to be more users who care about safety than imagined. , the price is high, but the user data is beautiful”

"Then is it possible for us to take advantage of another discount to snatch customers? We have already begun to experiment with the value-added service model in the United States, using the traffic of taxi-hailing software to open up profit opportunities in other fields. This set of models can be replicated in China. .”

"Well, at present, no matter whether it is us or the entire Huaxia market, no one should think that it is a wise choice to fight for capital with the Dafeng Group."

Although Kalanick was unhappy, but after thinking about it, it seems that this is indeed the case.

After flicking through the information in his hand for a while, the person in charge of Huaxia put forward an idea of ​​his own, "Although Fengxing private car and Fengxing taxi are highly praised, the implementation speed is very slow."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Fengxing Automobile is self-operated after all, and we must consider the efficiency of BYD and Geely's car manufacturing, as well as the cost of personnel recruitment, training and management. Although I have heard that Fengxing Automobile will soon launch more vehicles of automobile brands, it is relatively Compared with the development of the express train, the speed must be much slower.

As for Fengxing Taxi, because it needs to connect with the local taxi operators in each city, their intelligent system has to get through data with the local transportation department, which is more difficult than the promotion of special cars.

As someone analyzed on the Internet, if Dafeng Group can really make Fengxin taxis and Fengxin special cars, then Dafeng Group has basically fully connected with our country's traffic data. "

Kalanick subconsciously asked a question, "Could this be Meng Qian's original intention? To use the development of taxi-hailing software to accelerate the development of electric vehicles and the intercommunication with traffic data?"

Everyone responded to Kalanick with their eyes. Everyone actually had such a guess, but only Meng Qian and the Ministry of Communications knew what happened, and no one had the ability to find out.

Seeing that Lannick Yue didn't bother with this question, "Go on."

"Since we are all aware of the restrictions on the promotion of Fengxing taxis and Fengxing private cars, can we consider a way to increase investment in small cities?"

"small city?"

"From the data, it is obvious that Fengxing private cars and Fengxing taxis are basically developing in big cities, and small cities are still in the promotion stage, but our model can explode in small cities very quickly, even Fengxing Express can Increase investment in small cities, but Fengxing Express does not have much advantage over us, we can also do that technology, and if we really want to fight in small cities, we can’t be head-to-head.”

"Generally speaking, this kind of product starts to develop in big cities and then gradually goes down."

"We have been developing in a big city for half a year, and we have reached the stage where we can go down. What's more, the business model should be formulated according to the actual situation. Fengxing is a difficult opponent. We must admit and must Come up with some unconventional methods..."

"Are you planning to encircle the city from the countryside?"

"It can be said that, and the emergence of Fengxing is a shock to part-time drivers. He has been emphasizing industry rules there, which makes part-time drivers very uncomfortable, but we can definitely provide more opportunities for part-time drivers.

Meng Qian wants to standardize, so we simply stand on the side of chaos. The initial development of any industry is chaotic. Meng Qian always talks about rules, isn't it because he wants to achieve absolute leadership in the industry.

I think we'll just use chaos to break his rules. "

The appearance of Fengxing was indeed abused, that is, part-time private car drivers. They felt that they had less opportunities to make money part-time, and then they scolded Dafeng Group and Meng Qian on the Internet.

Meng Qian can only be scolded, what can he do.

The strange thing is that Meng Qian is also talking about rules and chaos with others in Dafeng Group at this time.

Sitting across from Meng Qian and discussing this topic with him was Ali's Boss Ma.

"The rapid development of the Internet back then was because there was a fertile soil for savage growth. Otherwise, the Internet would not have such a crazy evolution back then. In fact, Mr. Meng also understood this point back then.

But in the past few years, you have been very sensitive to the issue of chaos. No matter what new products and technologies start, you must first establish rules. Are you not worried that development will be curbed? "

"The times are different, old horse." Meng Qian looked at him firmly, "Back in 2001, even if the wind signal was stolen, even if the game account was stolen, how much impact would it have?

In this era, everything is gradually interconnected, user privacy is becoming more and more transparent, technical vulnerabilities are becoming more and more risky, and product duplicity is gradually extending. The most frightening thing is that criminals and speculators know how to use technology better than before.

Just like netizens said, liars have not learned how to use rumors before, so the rumors are so clean. Now the rumors are still the same, but the liars have learned to use rumors.

The technological development of this era can no longer be so unruly, otherwise, technology will harm users miserably. "
