"Didi didi~"

The taxi horn sounded, Cai Mingying stepped on high heels, her steps were hurried, her mouth was bulging, and she was holding pancakes and fruit in her hands.

"You want to go to this place, hey, little girl, do you work in Didi?" the middle-aged driver reminded him to fasten his seat belt.

"Hey, uncle, how do you know?"

Cai Mingying's eyes widened.

"Hey, how could I not know that I have taken so many passengers these days, and I don't know how many of your Didi employees there are, oh, and there are also Shunfeng."

The middle-aged driver smiled and drove the taxi.

"So there are a lot of people taking online ride-hailing services now?"

Cai Mingying asked while eating.

"How can you say 'a lot'? That's quite a lot!"

The middle-aged driver had to sigh, "With the travel subsidies provided by ride-hailing apps like Didi and Shunfeng, there are still people who go to work early in the morning and take the bus or take the subway, which only costs a few dollars more. How comfortable it is."

Then he glanced at the passengers and said, "You can save more money if you use Shunfeng's carpooling service. Anyway, my friends and I basically only take orders from ride-hailing apps. Individual passengers on the road will only take orders if they don't have orders."

"Uncle, do you usually use Didi more or Shunfeng more?" Cai Mingying intended to conduct a survey interview.

"Of course there are more tailwinds now. Whoever gives the most subsidies to tailwinds." The middle-aged driver said with a smile: "We, like the passengers, recognize money but not people. As long as whoever gives the passengers the most discounts, we will earn the most."

If there are more, we will use them."

Cai Mingying was startled, she didn't expect to say it so directly.

While waiting for the traffic light to turn green, the middle-aged driver slid the logic

Data packages provided by ride-hailing drivers.”

"Is this the data package that Shunfeng cooperates with China Mobile?"

Cai Mingying immediately became extremely vigilant.

"Yes, I'm not saying that, little girl, you Didi are too stingy. Even if the data package subsidy is less than Shunfeng, the travel subsidy has increased by one dollar more than Shunfeng a few days ago. Look, it's just a few days ago.

I was outpaced by the favorable wind."

The middle-aged driver looked like he hated iron, "Let me ask you, is your Didi going to increase or not? To be honest with you, if you don't increase, I will be like my friends and concentrate on running downwind."

The order was placed, but Didi didn’t make any profit.”

"Of course... we have to wait for news from the leader."

Cai Mingying opened her mouth, not daring to speak nonsense.

"Then have your leaders told you when and how long this big battle will last?"

The middle-aged driver kept testing her tone.

"Uncle, why do you ask this?"

Cai Mingying was very curious.

"Oh, with such a big battle, the good days of our taxis are coming. The longer you fight, the more we make. I naturally hope that you can keep fighting. The longer the better, the better.

"Yeah."

The middle-aged driver’s smile made the creases on his face look like blooming chrysanthemums.

Cai Mingying felt that it made sense and could not refute it, but she was not sure and did not know how long the company would fight.

Before leaving, he said something harsh about not asking for money:

“We will fight as long as the wind blows, and we will fight as long as the wind blows!”

He hurriedly got on the elevator, ran to his workstation, and while the computer was on, he whispered to his colleagues:

"Both Mr. Cheng and Mr. Liu are here?"

"I came early. I had a meeting in the office early in the morning. It has been going on for...more than an hour."

"So long!"

Cai Mingying was startled. When she picked up the cup and walked to the tea room, she secretly glanced at the closed general manager's office out of the corner of her eye.

"I just received the news that Shunfeng and Yaoyao have another subsidy more than ours. Users and drivers quickly went to Shunfeng and Yaoyao again."

Liu Qing put down the phone receiver heavily.

"Forget it if it's a tailwind, what the hell are you going to join in the fun with?" Cheng Wei gritted his teeth.

"Yaoyao has signed a betting agreement with Sequoia. If it doesn't take action in this price war, not to mention losing the bet, the whole Yaoyao may be driven out of Yanjing by the wind and pack up and get out."

Liu Qing frowned tightly.

"What if...what if we follow up?"

Cheng Wei stretched out a finger and said, "It's also getting bigger."

"Increase? Why? An increase of one yuan means tens of millions more investment. Didi may burn through 30 to 50 million yuan in a week. We just burned 25 million yuan some time ago, and we simply do not have such a large capital reserve.

"Liu Qing's eyebrows knitted together, "If you want to fight, you must raise funds immediately."

"Also, ask Mr. Lu, Mr. Liu and others if they are willing to increase capital and help Didi share part of it?"

Cheng Wei held his eyes, but his hands were shaking.

"You go ask Mr. Lu, and I'll ask my dad."

Liu Qing divided the work well and neatly.

"Shunfeng is prepared for this price war. The funds Didi needs are not a small amount, at least 200 million, no, 500 million. We must be prepared to fight a protracted war and fight to the end." Cheng Wei

Pick up the phone and emphasize again and again.

The two of them split up, and Liu Qing called Liu Chuanzhi.

"Hey, Dad."

"Are you here to ask for money on behalf of Didi?"

Liu Chuanzhi got straight to the point.

"Well, Dad, do you know everything?"

Liu Qing smacked his mouth, and everything he wanted to say was stuck in his throat.

"How can I not know about such a big thing like the taxi software price war?" Liu Chuanzhi reminded: "Lu Fei, this bastard, seems to be planning to clean you all out."

"So Dad, Didi must keep up with Tongfeng no matter what, otherwise, the return will fall short. Now, Shake, Baimi, Bumblebee and so many apps can only follow and burn money. It depends on who burns the last

, you can survive until the end.”

Liu Qing sighed helplessly.

"I know Lu Fei very well. Since he dares to start a price war, he must be absolutely sure. Think carefully about whether Didi can survive."

"Dad, as long as Didi can survive, it will live a better life. If others die, but I will not die, doesn't it mean that the market share will belong to us and Shunfeng?"

"How much do you need for Didi to survive in this price war?"

"At least 500 million."

"500 million?!rmb or US dollar?"

"Dad, I think it's a good deal. Uber's current valuation is US$6.8 billion. Even if Didi loses to Shunfeng, as long as it survives, it will be the second largest market share in China's ride-hailing industry. How can it be worth more than a billion dollars?"

, it’s still a beautiful sword.”

Liu Qing said firmly: "Use 500 million RMB to leverage more than a billion dollars, and even the market value will be billions of dollars in the future. I think we can give it a try, don't you think?"

"Did you ask Luyun?"

Liu Chuanzhi pondered for a long time.

Liu Qing looked at Cheng Wei, saw him holding out two fingers, and immediately replied: "Yipay can provide 20 million."

"Huh!"

Liu Chuanzhi was surprised, "20 million? Where did he get so much money." Then he said to himself, "It can't be out of his own pocket. Could it be the funds deposited from Yipay users? It's also impossible. This kind of money can only be borrowed.

For one or two quarters, we must not divert it to Didi to burn like this. Where will this money come from?"

"That's Mr. Lu's own business. We just need to take care of Didi now." Liu Qing couldn't care about so much.

"I will let Hony Capital prepare 500 million for Didi."

Liu Chuanzhi muttered: "The annual gathering of the Taishan Society is coming soon. When the time comes, you and your father and your uncles will meet. It will depend on your ability how much you can attract."

"Thank you dad!"

Liu Qing was very excited.

When she hung up the phone, Cheng Wei's face was still serious, "This alone is not enough. Didi must raise funds. These days I will go to Goldman Sachs, IDG, Dinghui, and CITIC."

"To prevent our intelligence from being monitored, WeChat and QQ are not used. Everyone in the company uses MiChat, and we must pay attention to the privacy of WeChat Moments to avoid leaks."

Liu Qing had to be on guard. After all, during the first phase of the competition, Penguin blocked Didi’s WeChat accounts in major cities several times.
