In the next half month, things began to develop rapidly in the direction that Kang Jingtao was most worried about. Kang Jingtao, who had been staring at the data, discovered that the data was still falling, but Travis still didn’t believe what was hidden in it. Crisis, this is the arrogance unique to Americans.
And some small things are not noticed when they first appear, but when they attract attention, the crisis has already come.
“Private car……?”
As Uber’s data continued to decline for several days, a large number of private cars suddenly flooded into the entire Shanghai and Kyoto markets, and all of them were private cars with the Didi Chuxing logo.
Didi’s taxi response speed has gradually changed from the original fifteen minutes to one to two minutes.
In mid-March 2014, less than a few days before April Fools’ Day, a piece of news that was only available in Shanghai and Kyoto was quickly transferred to WeChat users’ WeChat Moments.
“I work part-time as a driver in Didi, earning over 10,000 yuan a month”
So in the half month since March, the number of Didi riders has increased rapidly. This rate of increase has never been seen by many people.
Because Didi did not occupy the opponent’s market, it opened up a brand new market.
Travis’ whole body exploded. Looking at Didi walking all over the street, he felt a huge shadow roaring towards him, making him feel suffocated like never before.
[Didi is coming, Uber should leave immediately]
[China’s best business war dog is here, and the time left for Uber is running out]
Travis suddenly remembered the comments he had seen online before, and thought of the person who was mythologized by many people. His deep eyes widened: “What the fuck?”
As a bystander, Fenton realized that the dangers of the Chinese market did not seem to be deliberately exaggerated by Amazon to save face. There was no grand show, and what appeared now… was a disaster!
In just half a month, one-third of Uber’s users were swallowed up.
When they came, they were turbulent, like wild waves, but now they seemed to have been turned back…
“Private car?”
“How could it be a private car?!”
“The Shanghai Transportation Commission issued regulations just last month. Private cars are not allowed to operate without permission!”
You know, in the Chinese market, private cars are prohibited from carrying passengers to make money.
Bibi and Kuaidi have always cooperated with the taxi industry in their marketing efforts, and their initial concept was to move taxis online.
Uber specializes in high-end products at low prices, but it also contracts formal business travel companies, high-end escort companies, luxury car fleets with operating qualifications, and event-type celebration fleets.
Now Didi directly uses a part-time method to allow every private car to be operated online after the information is registered. This is equivalent to breaking the market rules.
How many taxis are there in Shanghai? How many private cars are there?
