Reborn multinational giant

Chapter 697 The Technical Benefits of Express Taxis

This Valentine's Day, a quick and safe merger, sparked a popular debate in the capital market, the Internet industry and the Internet.

Shen Nanpeng, chief executive of Redwood Capital China, commented: "Though the merger was unexpected, the burning of money before the two families subsidized the war, both wasted a large amount of capital reserves and led to strong opposition from both shareholders.

Capital winter is approaching. Neither side wants to start a new round of money burning war. Moving towards merger is the best option for both sides to go further.

The merger of the two companies will unify the Asian taxi software market, and Uber is now trying to open up the Asian market, which will be much more difficult than before! "

General Manager Tencent Ma: "I am very happy to express my warm congratulations on the quick and safe merger. Thank you to the Qiangan team, thank you to the Qiangan team, and thank all those who participated in this project. Believing that fast and cheap travel after the merger will make a greater contribution to the development of mobile travel in Asia and the world. ”

President Baidu Li: "Congratulations on the quick and easy merger. After the merger, quick and easy travel will become the leading ruler of the Asian mobile travel market. The road ahead is still long. I wish quick and easy travel will play an active role in improving people's mobility efficiency, reducing environmental pollution, promoting industry employment and other aspects!"

Compared to the capital market and Tencent, which promoted the merger of the two companies, giants such as Baidu favored the merger of the two companies. Internet friends, the evaluation of this is different, even degrading public opinion, much more than the praise public opinion.

“Can't merge! After that, the monopoly will definitely stop issuing vouchers, and competition will be the motivation.” Netizen Dry Travel bs.

“I object! Monopoly!!!" Online friend Ling Changjin.

“Fast 10 yuan taxi voucher works fast. If you can use it, I'll support you all together!" Internet friend Chizuru is like winter.

“A company with a market share of 120% was born!"

“So is there any discount for hitchhiking this Spring Festival?"

“Quick and safe, just let everyone enjoy the benefits of the bipartisan system, there is no competition after the merger, the red envelope becomes smaller, the taxi ticket amount becomes smaller, the driver subsidy becomes smaller, the one-party system is cruel, everyone can feel it!"

“Keep fighting, fight, merger is a monopoly, who desperately gives us coupons and red envelopes!"

Quick taxi driver Wang Dayong: "Although I really don't want to see their two families merge, it's the workers who didn't sign the labor contract who say they can't do anything!"

As the vested interests in the fierce competition between the two companies, the internet friends naturally do not want to see the merger of the two companies, with various opinions that do not want to see the merger of the two companies, and shouting that the two companies are suspected of monopoly after the merger.

Even so, the merger of the two companies can only be stopped or changed online.

Late at night, after spending a sweet Valentine's Day with old woman Feng Xue, Fang Zhe finally expressed his opinion on this matter in WeChat circle of friends:

“Congratulations on the merger of the two companies. Overburning the money to subsidize the competitive behavior of users will disrupt the market order. It is also the most lazy competitive method. In the future, you should invest more energy and resources in products and business.

Traveling is a big market with unlimited potential, with enough imaginary borders. Traveling quickly and safely should look more backwards, look to the future, don't look at both sides all the time! "

Fang Zhe's circle of friends can be considered thought-provoking. In the phrase, many investors, media people, corporate executives and CEOs among Fang Zhe's friends liked or commented. Cheng Xiaodong, CEO of Express Taxi, commented quickly at the bottom:

“The thankful party has always pointed out that me and Fast Travel must remember to strive to make the future travel of all Fast Travel users more convenient and better!"

It seems that Fang Zhe's circle of friends played a role. It also seems like a quick taxi and a quick taxi. Before the merger began, there was a sense of enlightenment. He saw that there were still four or five days left to celebrate the New Year. At the same time, on the quick taxi and quick taxi app, which still maintained independent operation, a new activity was opened, which was more warm, more considerate and closer to the market than the previous Chinese New Year.

Prior to this, Express Taxi and Express Taxi have already started the annual “Spring Festival to send you home” event more than half a month ago when Spring Festival started. Users can take taxis remotely, take cross-provincial hitchhikes, etc., all with great discounts.

Even the disturbing news of this happy and fast merger does not affect the normal conduct of the two companies' business and activities.

And on this basis, the new event that started on Valentine's Day is different, and the name of the event is “Take the bus home."

How do you know the name? This event is also to make it easier for workers outside to take the bus home for Spring Festival. Compared to the high speed train ticket, hitchhiking is relatively expensive, and the bus is the best choice for many passengers who can't buy a high speed train ticket.

At 8: 00 a.m. on February 17, Lunar month 29, Wu Xiaoxiao, a man from the coal province drifting north of Yanjing, stared helplessly at the 12306 website, still displaying Ticketless high-speed rail information.

Wu Xiaoxiao has been snatching tickets on 12306 since the high-speed rail ticket was sold a month ago. He wants to buy a high-speed rail ticket to go home, but less than a minute after the high-speed rail ticket is sold, the ticket from Yanjing to his home has been sold out!

These days, Wu Xiaoxiao has been expecting to be able to pick up the tickets returned by others. Unfortunately, he has not been able to do so until today's 29th day of the month. Looking at tomorrow as New Year's Eve, Wu Xiaoxiao seems to have avoided riding the Express Ann Express and bus. There is no other way to go home.

Oh, there are also green leather station tickets for up to 15 hours, and the night car. As a last resort, Wu Xiaoxiao doesn't want to be guilty.

Wu Xiaoxiao has never taken a bus from Yanjing to his hometown, and does not know where to sit. The information on the Internet is confusing and complicated. He does not know where to buy tickets, even though he is afraid that there will be no tickets.

Therefore, Wu Xiaoxiao opened the Express Taxi app. He thought, if it's really impossible, he could spend a little more money on hitchhiking with others. He just didn't know that he was starting to watch it at this moment, and could not spell it to the car.

Just after the Express Taxi was opened, a new activity window popped up on the interface, "Take the bus home".

Seeing the title of the event, Wu Xiaoxiao made a conscious point of entering. The event content said that in order to facilitate the homecoming of drifting workers, tens of thousands of buses were organized in hundreds of first-, second- and third-tier cities across the country to help everyone return home for the New Year.

Simply select the date, enter the start and destination on the interface, and you will be able to query and purchase the corresponding bus ticket.

After reading the event brief, Wu Xiaoxiao can't wait to select today at the bottom of the page, enter the starting location of Yanjing and the destination of Nanjin City, Coal Province, inquiry.

Below the interface, there are several columns of bus information.

The nearest bus to the departure time is the bus from Changping Ho camp at 9am, which is less than five stops away from your residence.

In addition to the 9 o'clock bus from Changping Huo Camp, there are 12 o'clock, 15 o'clock, 18 o'clock and 21 o'clock buses below, as well as buses covering almost every region and region of Yanjing such as Changping Huo Camp, Chaoyang Youth Road, Haidian Highland, etc., and tickets are shown.

Looking a little more expensive than the highway, but much cheaper than a hitchhike, Wu Xiaoxiao did not hesitate to buy tickets for the bus that started at 12 noon at Camp Huo.

At noon, Wu Xiaoxing, who was carrying a large bag of parcels, boarded the bus to his hometown. Although the bus was not as fast and comfortable as the high-speed railway, it was much more comfortable than the smoky green leather car that stood tirelessly.

“Quick Ann is now so awesome, so convenient!" Wu Xiaoxiao, who was on the bus, sighed. For the first time, before taking the express taxi, he was really worried that he would not go home this New Year, and the express taxi made him give up that worry.

Wu Xiaoxiao looked at the people filled with people. They were all like their hometown of North Floating. They were also particularly friendly to each other. Half an hour later, the bus began to start and ran towards Wu Xiaoxiao's hometown.

This Spring Festival, many foreign workers who could not buy high-speed rail tickets, like Wu Xiaoxiao, took a bus organized by Express Taxi back home, Express Taxi sent the people of the country home warm move, attracted unanimous praise across the network.

Many online friends praise that I can accept taxis without coupons, but I hope that there will always be a ticket for me to come home.

Indeed, online friends surprised to discover that wherever and whenever they go, the bus on the Express Taxi seems to have tickets forever, rather than 12306, which shows that there are no tickets.

In fact, this is due to the accumulation of data and large data mining in the field of travel over the years by FAST TAXI. FAST TAXI has comprehensively assessed, excavated and calculated various data such as authenticated identity and household registration information of users, geographical location information of daily taxis, migration information of holidays, travel information of last spring, etc., and has basically mastered the migration behavior and migration scale of users in various cities and regions of the country.

On this basis, Express Ambulance can use various buses and bus resources rationally through dynamic vehicle allocation to realize this spring's popular "Bus sends you home” event.

It sounds simple to do this, but the data behind it is complex and the technical complexity is beyond the imagination of many people. You know, even 12306, which has national large-scale travel data, it is difficult to do a good dynamic arrangement of car resources, that is, add some trains every holiday and Chinese New Year, which is far from meeting the travel needs of many passengers.

Express taxis have not only achieved dynamic bus allocation, but also achieved good route optimization, passenger bus seat optimization, etc. It is possible that passengers traveling to Nanjin City, Coal Province will also prioritize the deployment of small buses when the number of passengers is less than half.

In short, Xin 'an looks like a simple event, but its optimization and allocation of social mobility resources is very high! The accumulated technical qualities of express taxis in the field of travel can be seen.
