They are all reborn, who will fall in love?.

Chapter 703 I will rule the market (page 12)

Kyoto, Guomao Hotel, the deep night under the spring sun is already charming, and coupled with thousands of street lights and continuous sparks, it looks even more dazzling.

A table of exquisite Western food was set up in Travis's suite to entertain his friend Peter Fenton, who had come all the way from Silicon Valley.

"You haven't been back for a long time?"

"I will go back when the market stabilizes."

"Is business good here?"

Travis opened a bottle of whiskey and walked over with a bright smile: "To me, the Chinese market is like a toy made of gold. It is very shiny, but... I can only play with it."

Fenton picked up his glass and smiled: "It seems that the real Chinese market is far less dangerous than the rumors."

"of course."

Travis toasted: "Great people usually like to find reasons for failure, like Amazon, eBay, and Gaopeng. They always feel that they have lost face after being driven away, so they have to describe the market as more dangerous."

Fenton put down his glass: "But I have always thought that Chinese consumers exclude Americans."

"Of course they reject it, but that doesn't stop them from using our stuff."

"What an interesting country."

Travis was cutting the steak: "If you have time, you can stay a few more days to see how Uber wins. I think the time is almost up. I will conquer this continent again like my ancestors."

Fenton nodded: "It sounds grand. I like grand performances."

The two of them picked up their wine glasses and just took a sip when they heard the sound of the door opening coming from the suite. Travis's female secretary came and smiled at Fenton.

Travis raised his head: "Miss Anna, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Cheng and Mr. Chen just called. I'm afraid they won't be able to attend your dinner."

"why?"

"They said they were feeling unwell, but it sounded like they both had the same disease."

Travis turned cold and said: "They are still delaying for no reason, so we won't leave any room and we will crush them to ashes in the market."

Fenton held the wine glass and thought for a moment: "Who is Mr. Cheng? Who is Mr. Chen?"

“The CEO of Kuaidi and Bibi, China’s local taxi-hailing platform.”

"Uber's rival?"

Travis looked at him: "You must be drunk."

Fenton grinned widely: "It sounds like you are very disdainful of your opponent?"

"Weakness is the original sin. I gave them a choice to merge into Uber and cash out. Although they promised, they kept delaying. Chinese businessmen really have no integrity at all."

"All yellow people are like this."

Later, after a Western meal, Travis planned to take Fenton to his China headquarters to have a look, so he asked Anna to call a car.

After the two people got in the car, Fenton looked at the surrounding street scene along the road and was attracted by the word "Didi" that could be seen everywhere.

"Uber only has two competitors in China: Bibi and Dike? Why do I always see this Didi? Ube has fewer ads than him."

“A platform that works hard on marketing, but you can’t even see Uber’s taillights.”

"Anna, what's written on that car?"

Anna, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked out the window after listening: "Mr. Peter, it says Didi Taxi, low-carbon travel, which is also one of the advertisements."

After hearing this, Travis also looked out the window and found that there seemed to be a lot of cars with "Didi Travel" written on them on the street, with different styles and brands, traveling in all directions on the roads.

He frowned slightly, showing a thoughtful expression, and finally couldn't help but make a sound and sat up straight again.

Soon, the car drove to Uber's China headquarters. The two people visited various departments, but they were stopped by Trott, the operations director.

"Mr. Travis, I have something to report."

"what happened?"

Trotter opened the data sheet in his hand: "In recent times, the number of Uber orders has continued to decrease, and other data has also shown an overall decline."

Travis glanced at it: "Spring Festival effect?"

"No, the Spring Festival has passed for a long time, and it has been a month since work resumed. This is not right, especially the overall decline in daily activity, frequency and new user registration rate. It cannot be regarded as an ordinary fluctuation. There must be a reason."

"It's impossible. The people in charge of Bibi and Kuai are both sick. This is a normal fluctuation. Don't be too nervous. The market is already ours."

Trotter opened his mouth: "Mr. Travis, there is Didi in the market. Its boss is the great Jiang Qin. If you underestimate him, you will be cursed."

Travis laughed instantly: "Trot, this is the funniest joke I've ever heard. You should have saved it for April Fool's Day."

Trott said with a serious expression: "Sir, I have seen such data fluctuations before."

"?"

“The data performance of Lashou.com during its period from prosperity to decline was like this.”

Fenton was also staring at Trott at this time: "Mr. Trott, are you Chinese or Japanese?"

Trot narrowed his eyes: "Speak as you say, don't curse!"

"Hey, this sentence seems to be in Chinese. It seems that you are Chinese. I have always been interested in Chinese culture. Can I know your Chinese name?"

"My name is...Kang Jingtao."

When Travis established the Chinese team, he learned from the failed experiences of Amazon, Gaopeng and Takeaway Superman, and specifically chose the most localized team.

At first, Kang Jingtao was working at Word of Mouth Food Delivery. Because he was afraid that Jiang Qin would leave, he subsequently joined Uber.

There are many reasons. Foreign companies provide more and have ample rest time, but the most important reason is that Jiang Qin is not interested in this market.

But who would have known that at the end of the year, Jiang Qin would suddenly end his life, which made Kang Jingtao worried all the time.

However, Didi's subsequent performance has always been unsatisfactory, which relieved his anxiety until this month's overall data table came out.

Some people are afraid of being bitten by a snake for ten years.

He has really seen this data, and he thinks that this kind of data fluctuation can be named Jiang's Wave Line.

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.
