After rebirth, I want to destroy my original family

On New Year's Eve, snow began to fall from the sky, but there were only a few spots.

Gaode's employees have been working overtime during the Spring Festival, seemingly rushing to complete something. They finally went home today and had a reunion dinner with their families.

At this time, red envelopes were quietly launched, detonating the Spring Festival period in one fell swoop.

The new function was promoted through the sponsorship of the Spring Festival Gala, attracting 800 million users on New Year's Eve, and 4 million red envelopes were divided up in an instant.

With the help of a powerful social system, the number of payment users increased instantly, and the card binding rate also began to rise sharply.

At this time, Gu Ming and the little rich woman who was dressed like a cotton doll went to his aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings.

"Congratulations on your prosperity! Here's the red envelope." Zhou Xiaoyao spread out her little hands towards Qin Jingqiu.

"?"

Qin Jingqiu looked at Gu Ming: "Xiaoyao never asked for red envelopes during the Chinese New Year, and she wouldn't accept them even if they were given to her."

Gu Ming grinned: "That was in the past. Now we have to save money to buy milk powder for Gu Aiyao, auntie!"

"Xiaoyao, have you learned bad things from Gu Ming?"

Zhou Xiaoyao clung to Gu Ming and said softly: "I follow the chicken wherever I marry a chicken, and follow the dog wherever I marry a dog..."

The corner of Gu Ming's mouth twitched: "Who did you learn this from?"

"I learned this from Zhong Wenjing."

At the same time, in the group buying group, Deng Xuanxuan also tagged the boss and the boss's wife every day to send out red envelopes, while others were lurking in the group waiting for an opportunity to act. In just a few days, the money for milk powder that Gu Ming had just saved was divided up.

"The Milk Stealer"

It is this simple process that turns the custom of red envelopes into the most effective business tool.

This red envelope effect lasted until March, and screenshots of red envelope balances could be seen everywhere in the Moments.

And you have to use the red envelope you grab, even if you don’t pay, you still have to bind your card to withdraw cash.

First put money in users' wallets, then force users to use it. This reverse business logic has made payment the biggest winner of the entire Spring Festival.

From the end of January to March, as the cold gradually subsided and the ice and snow melted, the number of payment users increased wildly. By the day of Jingzhe, the number of users had reached 1% of the entire market.

The online businesses of Alipay and QuickPass are relatively stable, but their offline businesses have been affected.

"Damn, sneak attack!"

Ma Yun was shocked and angry, and immediately launched the red envelope business, but it didn't make any splash.

The red envelope, as a thing, contains all kinds of human relationships in Chinese society. To put it bluntly, it is the monetization of interpersonal relationships. Social interaction is the fertile soil for interpersonal relationships, so red envelopes can only be used well by the rich and powerful. This is an unsolvable situation.

At this time, the taxi market, which had temporarily stopped due to the Spring Festival, began to reignite the war.

Travis had said years ago that he wanted to clean up the battlefield and end the war, but Beep and Kuai1 had been delaying and had not yet made a choice between surrender and death.

So at the beginning of spring, Uber directly increased its investment in the market, burning the market with furious momentum, intending to directly destroy Bibi and Kuaidi.

As for Didi, Travis doesn’t like it.

Didi has been online since December, and its market share has been so low until now, not even reaching the peak level of Bumblebee. How could he possibly look down on it?

In his opinion, Didi was no match at all, just an ineffective stumbling block, the kind that could be overcome with a little bigger step.

At this time, Cheng Wei heard a rumor about Didi.

Some people say that Didi is not only operating in Shanghai and Beijing, but is also developing in Jinan and the five surrounding cities, but with a very low-key attitude.

"I understand. Gu Ming wants to use the countryside to surround the city. Donghai and Beijing are just feints. They want to become familiar with the second-tier cities, extend the business chain, and surround the whole city."

"This is a classic method they used during the group buying period. I just said that the preparation for group buying does not stop there."

Chen Chuanxing and Cheng Wei are communicating more and more frequently, mainly because they currently have the same rival, Uber.

When Chen Chuanxing learned that Didi was entering the second-tier market, his doubts gradually dissipated and he finally understood the path Didi wanted to take.

The Donghai and Beijing cities have made such a big fuss just to cover up their actions in the second-tier cities. Surrounding the cities from the countryside is what they want to do.

"It's a pity that this won't work."

Cheng Wei nodded: "That's right. Didi has only developed 5 cities from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. It will take at least another year to form a siege, but the market can't wait for a year."

Judging from Uber’s current subsidy strength, even if Bibi and Kuaidi join forces, they won’t be able to survive for half a year.

At that time, Uber, which has no opponent, will sink quickly. At that time, Didi's encirclement has not yet formed and will be easily dispersed.

This is different from the group buying business.

For group buying, you have to negotiate with merchants one by one, and the timeline can be very long, but for the taxi business, you only need to sign up taxi companies and fleets with operating qualifications to basically control the market.

Uber burned a billion dollars a year ago. Judging from this desperate attitude, this is not difficult for him at all.

"Mr. Gu may be limited by the mindset of group buying."

"I'm going to say something disrespectful. Mr. Gu is actually not as amazing as people say. He only has this one trick. It's just that he has achieved unexpected results in group buying and takeout, so he seems so powerful."

Cheng Wei nodded, sighed with regret, and then said goodbye to Chen Chuanxing.

At the beginning of the new year, he had a lot of dinner parties to organize, and the first group to be invited were the leaders of the East China Sea Transportation Commission.

The road management in each city is under the jurisdiction of the transportation department. Although Bibi's business is experiencing a serious decline, it still has to give its leaders a meal.

Drinking is inevitable at a party. Bibi is a start-up company. Unlike Gu Ming, a long-established business veteran, Cheng Wei does not have his own driver and relies entirely on Kuaidi for travel. This has been his habit since the confrontation with Kuaidi.

But what Cheng Wei didn't expect was that as soon as he arrived at his destination, he saw Gu Ming at the door.

"Mr. Gu?"

Cheng Wei was a little surprised: "I've heard about your name for a long time, and today I finally met you in person!"

Gu Ming was stunned for a moment: "Who are you?"

"Oh, let me introduce myself. I'm the CEO of Bibi. My name is Cheng Wei."

"Beep? I know, hello, Mr. Cheng!"

Gu Ming suddenly changed his single hand to two hands and shook hands with him tightly: "Thank you for your hard work in the past six months, leave the rest to me."

Cheng Wei: "?"

"It's okay if you don't understand. You will understand. Oh, by the way, remember to come and drink my little princess's full moon wine in the second half of the year."

Cheng Wei watched Gu Ming wave goodbye to him, then went out and got into a Maybach with a slightly confused expression.

What does it mean to work hard on me? I leave the rest to you?

He was puzzled, so without thinking too much, he quickly visited several leaders of the Donghai Transportation Commission and invited them to a dinner tonight.

Originally they had made an appointment, but unexpectedly, several leaders all refused, on the grounds that they would have emergency meetings in the next few days.

Cheng Wei expressed his understanding, but before leaving, he saw a sheepskin document bag with the name of Quancheng Municipal Government on it on the director's desk, which was already open.

One month later, Cheng Wei's dinner was almost ready, and at this time, he received an email from Travis in his mailbox, inviting him and Chen Chuanxing to dinner.

They said it was for dinner, but everyone knew that Travis was about to give an ultimatum.

Cheng Wei and Chen Chuanxing met in a cafe, exchanged ideas, and decided to attend the dinner together.

"how to get to?"

"Let's take a taxi. Damn it, we can't compete with them in the market, so let's drink that son of bitch to death."

As Cheng Wei spoke, he opened his phone, and the corners of his mouth twitched when he looked at Chen Chuanxing: "Isn't this inappropriate for you?"

Cheng Wei was stunned for a moment: "You are not happy to scold him?"

"I'm fucking saying it's not appropriate for you to use my Kuai coupon to take a taxi, right?"

Cheng Wei laughed and explained that he was used to it, then turned on Didi: "If you haven't used Didi before, give it a try."

Chen Chuanxing pursed his lips and said: "There are not many vehicles in Didi, so we still have to wait half an hour?"

"It's a good time to prepare myself mentally. By the way, I met Mr. Gu in person before."

Cheng Wei pressed the taxi button and said casually.

Chen Chuanxing was stunned for a moment: "How can you meet him? I heard that you have to make an appointment one month in advance to meet him."

"We met by chance. We were probably inviting the leaders to dinner at the entrance of the Transportation Committee. In the taxi business, you inevitably have to deal with your superiors."

"What did he say to you?"

"I didn't say anything, just chatted briefly."

Chen Chuanxing looked at him: "He didn't give you any advice on how to defeat Uber?"

Hearing this, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

In the first half of the taxi war, Gu Ming gave instructions to Bumblebee, which extended his life by three months. He was called a business textbook by people in the circle, and all kinds of nonsense voices were heard one after another.

In the end, Didi officially ended without any splashing, which was quite funny.

Now no one shouts out these five words from the business textbook anymore, and the braggarts have also quieted down. The reputation that Mr. Gu has accumulated in the group buying wars, food delivery wars, and payment wars is about to be lost in the taxi wars.

Some people also said that Gu Ming only had three axes, which were very powerful, but they were gone after he finished fighting.

Therefore, when Chen Chuanxing asked Cheng Wei whether Gu Ming taught him, it was actually partly sarcastic.

However, just as the two of them started talking, Cheng Wei suddenly felt his phone vibrating, and then he found that a driver had accepted the order, which made Cheng Wei stunned.

Currently, Uber has the highest response efficiency in Shanghai, and can accept orders within 5 minutes in the bustling urban area.

The average time for Bibi and Kuai is 8 to 2 minutes, but the order-taking speed of Didi seems to be less than 1 minute...

Chen Chuanxing looked at him: "What's wrong?"

"Order accepted."

"Maybe there happens to be a car nearby."

As soon as Chen Chuanxing finished speaking, a white Dongfeng Citroen with its double flashes on stopped not far from them.

The car window was lowered, and a man with glasses waved to them inside, shouting "Get in the car."

The smiles on Cheng Wei and Chen Chuanxing's faces gradually disappeared. After waiting for 5 seconds, the driver saw that they didn't move. He became a little impatient and couldn't help honking the horn. The two men quickly came back to their senses, but their scalps instantly felt numb.

"Holy crap, a private car?!"

"How can there be a private car?!"
