Chapter 1283
After talking with Kalanick, when Song Yang was about to get up and leave, he stopped again and turned to look at Kalanick, "Uber's ride safety system should be launched as soon as possible to protect the safety of drivers and passengers. I hope Uber’s safety performance far exceeds that of traditional taxis, and the accident rate is lower than that of the other taxi, so that Uber can become the preferred choice for countless people to travel!”

Although he was planning to cut leeks, Song Yang did not want Uber to become a notorious tool for cutting leeks. Song Yang cut the leeks of Wall Street and those consortiums. As for those ordinary leeks, how much oil and water are there? Not enough to toss about.

Since the release of P6, Uber has become the most popular Internet company in Silicon Valley. Not one of them, even the old Internet giants, such as ICQ and Yahoo, have not paid as much attention to Uber as the media.

The entire Silicon Valley is excited by the emergence of a new track. After all, Uber is not the only company that can do Internet taxi hailing. If Uber proves that this industry is the next trend, why can’t other Silicon Valley companies do it? !
When Uber announced its huge subsidy strategy in the Internet taxi-hailing and food delivery industries, it caused an uproar in Silicon Valley, and everyone could see the determination that Uber showed.

Seeing the huge subsidy proposed by Uber, I was excited along with it, as well as major federal banking institutions, several major auto groups, and Uber's driver support plan, claiming that in America, 60 drivers will be recruited, even if none of them The driver of the vehicle is only 30. These people need credit to purchase the vehicle, and the purchased vehicle is also the most common vehicle. A car also costs [-] to [-] US dollars. The resulting credit, plus insurance and other expenses, exceeds [-]. Multi-billion dollars.

However, if several major automobile companies such as General Motors provide [-] Uber drivers with the purchase of vehicles, that is an order worth [-] vehicles. Even a giant like General Motors cannot say that it ignores this large order. With this time, Uber will enter the overseas market, will it provide more orders? !

For a while, several major auto groups in the world were gearing up to get a big order from Uber. There was only one automaker, which was full of embarrassment at this time, and that was Chrysler, which had bet against Song Yang. Chrysler and Song Yang There is also a huge VAM agreement, how could it be possible for Uber's car order to be cheaper than Chrysler, so that Chrysler can only watch helplessly this time, but there is nothing they can do.

A large number of Uber advertisements appeared in newspapers and job markets in major American cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Houston, and Chicago.

Seeing the rewards from Uber, and the hype, becoming an Uber driver, you can get a large order every month, and even entering a middle-class family is not a dream. Uber will also provide drivers with a promotion plan. As long as you perform well, you can even become a regional supervisor of Uber in the future. This is a life-changing choice, etc. Anyway, it’s a bragging that makes many people who see it feel excited, but many people don’t like it. It's a snort.

Juan Dia, a Mexican-born man, looked at a newspaper in his hand. It was Uber’s recruitment plan. Juan, who came to America from Mexico, worked as a handyman in an old Mexican restaurant in New York. He already had such a job. After working for four years, he has already got a work visa. He also has his own driver's license, but he doesn't have a car.

His wife and children have already been picked up by Juan, but they are not in the same place. The cost of living in New York is still too high. The instability of the restaurant handyman and his uncertain future make Juan more and more worried.

The old Mos who worked as handymen in the same restaurant as Juan, as well as people of other ethnicities, sneered at the Uber in the newspaper, thinking it was a scam. Are there not many scams like this in America? !

But looking at the phone number in the newspaper, after hesitating for a day, Juan still called the phone number in the newspaper after finishing his work as a handyman. After connecting, the voice of an announcer like the one on TV came out.

"This is the Uber New York Operations Center, what service do you need?!"

"I want to sign up for an Uber driver!"

Hearing Juan's words, the voice on the other end of the phone remained unchanged, and asked Juan a few questions, including work visa, credit and security records, etc., and then reported an address for Juan to go for an interview.

Early the next morning, after Juan took a leave of absence at Laomo Restaurant, he rushed to Uber's operation center in New York.

Uber's base in New York is not located in the city center, but it covers a large area. In addition to an office building, there is a large parking lot behind it, and many other facilities are under construction.

After verifying his identity, Juan was brought into the building. In the interview hall, Juan saw that there were many people of other skin colors waiting, but most of them were not native of America. But I also want to know, how the middle-class families in America would fall in love with this job.

Entering the interview office with apprehension, the interviewer handed Juan a cup of coffee, and introduced him to the position that Uber was interviewing with him. As for the parent company of Uber, what is the North American Global Investment Foundation, ICQ, Alcatel Group, PayPal and other companies all have strategic partnerships with Uber, and Juan couldn't understand it.

The mobile phone he uses is still a feature machine BlackBerry. How can he know what a smart phone is? A P6 is now sold by scalpers for more than 800 US dollars. His monthly salary is only 1950 US dollars. How can it cost half of his salary? What to buy? P6 smart phone, let his family drink the Northwest Wind.

However, Juan listened to the sentence that Song Yang is one of the founders of Uber. He knew that Song Yang was the richest man in America. The rumor of Nitus is well-known in Mexico, and it is also familiar to the Mexicans in America. Although Song Yang did not marry Elsa, he was regarded by Juan and other old Mexicans as a "half" own people".

Song Yang, this "person of his own", would never deceive the old ink, this is the idea in Hu An's heart, and it is also the result of the propaganda of the media camp in Song Yang's hands. Who made Song Yang a "great good man"!

"For the first three months of orders, we will provide guarantees and subsidies for Uber drivers to ensure that drivers can receive no less than 11.2 orders a day. In addition, the Uber platform will only draw a commission of 20% in the first three months. Afterwards the commission will return to normal to [-]%.

Mr. Juan, if you are successfully employed, your initial weekly salary is expected to be around US$900 to US$1500!

You can think about it and give us a reply before we leave work! "

Juan was holding a contract agreement. When he walked out, he felt his mind was a little confused. He only heard two things. The first thing was that he became an Uber driver, and he would get [-] a month in the future. The salary of Zuo Meidao is twice as much as that of his current job as a handyman!
Another thing, because Juan does not have a vehicle, even if he has a vehicle, he has to pass Uber's review before he can use it.

If he wants to do this job, he needs credit to buy a car, and Uber will help him use zero down payment credit to buy a car worth $2 and a P650 smartphone worth $6. It will be paid off in 72 months, and a total of 650 US dollars will be repaid with principal and interest by then!

Juan really felt pain. After a battle between heaven and man, Juan still couldn't resist the temptation of $[-] a month. With the help of Uber's legal lawyers and under the witness of the camera, Juan In a voluntary way, he signed his name on the damn contract and pressed his fingerprints.

After a week of intensive training, Juan drove a GM car bought on credit, and together with [-] Uber drivers in New York, officially started to use Uber.

Half a month later, after delivering an order, Juan drove to a nearby bank that cooperates with PayPal with a feeling of anxiety and uneasiness. Yesterday, Juan applied for a cash withdrawal of his salary for a week since he went to work in the background of Uber.

Inserting the bank card into the ATM, Juan prayed with his eyes closed, and then quickly entered the password. When he saw the account balance, Juan couldn't help but widen his eyes, cursed excitedly, and shook his fist hard .

"1350 dollars!"

This is the deposit that appeared in Juan's account. For those big shots in Manhattan, it may not be enough for a big meal, or a tip for a splurge at a top nightclub, but for Juan, it is like It's like a fresh start in life.

Juan was not tired at the moment when he saw the account balance. He was going to run a few more orders. He heard that Uber was developing a driver fatigue system. After a certain period of time, he would be forced to go offline to rest , I can’t take orders anymore. Taking advantage of the system not yet online, Juan is going to run a few more orders. Now Uber is promoting on a large scale, constantly spreading coupons and discount coupons to users. Juan’s orders are not accepted at all. Not finished!
Before getting in the car, Juan was going to call a few of his old Mo relatives in America and lure them into Uber. The reward of thousands of dollars was real, and it was a waste of money.

Juan is one of the status quo of Uber in New York. Visible to the naked eye, on the streets of New York, Uber’s online car-hailing cars are sprayed and started to shuttle in various streets. In a short period of time, nearly a thousand Uber vehicles have appeared on the street. Although there is still a big gap from the [-] taxis in New York, the speed of Uber's expansion is really too fast!
The benchmarks against Uber drivers and vehicles are Uber users, and even with abnormal data, they are making rapid progress. TV stations such as ICNC are also fanning the flames. Internet taxis are safer, more efficient, fare discounts, and service quality Gao, etc., coupled with Uber's massive coupons, made Internet taxi-hailing a trend among young people. The demand for Internet taxi-hailing that did not exist before has suddenly begun to be cultivated.

"The number of registered Uber drivers in America has exceeded 3.14, the number of registered car users has exceeded 340 million, and the daily turnover has exceeded [-] million US dollars. Internet taxis are becoming a new choice for young people in cities such as New York and Los Angeles!"

The New York Times also began to report on Uber's rapid development in America, without mentioning that Internet taxis will surpass traditional taxis, but the offensive launched by Uber is too violent.
