Chapter 1717 Market
The war between Uber and Washington taxi management agency did not break out.
After Uber's private car drivers learned that the company would ensure that they would not suffer economic losses, the number of Uber's private cars on the street doubled that day, and a fierce debate broke out between the media that night, with the focus on whether the remarks of the official of the taxi management agency involved personality insults and racial discrimination.
Adams is black, Adams is a hospital for low-income groups, Adams is a diligent and outstanding employee who has been awarded for many years in his garbage collection company. Adams is sincere and hardworking...
"Please remember this face and hands. This is a worker who practices himself. He is an ordinary worker who is still doing the American dream. He believes that as long as he works hard, he can live a good life. He relies on his income of less than 4,000 US dollars a month to support his whole family. He also cultivated an outstanding daughter who can't afford to go to Ivy League but has received full scholarships from six universities. Regarding the remarks of taxi management agencies, as an American, as a host who holds the American dream and is still working tirelessly to have the American dream, I firmly stand on Adams' side..."
What appears on the screen are two photos, one is Adams' face when he smiles shyly, and the other is his cracked and rough hands. The above words spoken by the host in a sentimental tone not only caused his Twitter followers to skyrocket, but also made him regarded by countless viewers as the only place in the American conscience.
Without waiting for the Washington taxi management agency to respond, the lawyer who held the Uber $1,500 per hour issued a strong statement, believing that the taxi management agency's official assertion that the Uber is illegal, wrong and improper without citing any regulations. In particular, the "fishing" enforcement he adopted set a bad and intolerable precedent. If the law enforcement agency can do whatever he wants, the rights and interests of American citizens who are under management will not be protected. And as a formal federal official, he actually took such despicable punishment measures against Adams, a citizen at the bottom of society. Uber will not only firmly support Adams in protecting his legitimate rights and interests, but will also make formal lawsuits in the name of the company!
The drivers of Uber special car were wandering around the streets, proudly like fighting roosters, and even greeted taxi drivers. Each full-time Uber driver used his mobile phone to carry on the orders, providing services to the passengers.
Before Adams and Uber's accusations were submitted to the court, the head of the taxi management agency publicly apologized, apologizing for the "injust" treatment Adams suffered, and said that the unspoken official had voluntarily resigned and the relevant racial discrimination investigation was officially launched.
In just a few days, the Washington taxi management agency, which had the toughest attitude, admitted its cowards and in disguise, acquiesced to the Uber's business methods and means. After seeing this scene on TV, Nick, who had eaten and lived in the company, could not help but be stunned for a minute. Then he ecstatically picked up the phone and dialed it to the guy who gave him courage and confidence!
When he received the call, Fu Zhengyi was also reading the news briefing, but what he was reading was not American news, but domestic ones. After hearing Nick's statement, he laughed. "Since it's solved, then we can consider fully rolling it out, right?"
"Insufficient staff is still the main obstacle to the rapid expansion of Uber. Moreover, there are still relatively few users in the United States who use Weizhi smartphones. Apple phones have announced that the second generation of products will be equipped with GPS. As an entrepreneur, if Apple phones can install Uber software, then I cannot ask users to use Weizhi smartphones..."
Nick's words were quite tactful, but Fu Zhengyi knew what he wanted to express, and immediately laughed. "I didn't require Uber's full-time drivers to use Weizhi smartphones, and I'm even more unlikely to require all users who need to call a taxi to buy and use Weizhi smartphones. The more money Apple makes, the higher the market share, and I will be very happy! Apple's market value increase is a profit, and the dividends received are another profit. Since you are the president of Uber, what you are considering is the future of Uber, not because I am the major shareholder of Uber, and I am thinking about forcibly turning the market trend!"
Nick was stunned and laughed.
yes.
Justief holds far more shares in Apple than other shareholders. The more money Apple makes, the higher the profits it brings to rise in stock prices. In addition, Apple's dividends can be said to be profitable inside and outside. He is actually worried that he may ask Uber to prevent Apple's mobile phone from entering for the sake of Weizhi's sales. It's really a waste of worry...
The silence on the other end of the phone made Fu Zhengyi put down the briefing in his hand and said, "Nick! I did a good job this time! Many things need to be head-on. I believe that under your leadership, Uber will definitely become the best company in the world..."
"Then the next goal is to your country, how about it? I recruited two senior management personnel with mainland backgrounds. They think that once the mainland market seizes the initiative, it means..."
Fu Zhengyi's face turned a little dark. "Stop! What was your original plan?"
"The whole of the United States, then several major cities such as Toronto, Canada, and then they explored the European market, France, Germany, Italy... However, the British taxi industry has quite strict legal provisions, and the UK's requirements for taxi drivers are also quite strict. It is far from being able to become a special car driver with just a driver's license. The legal department's report has not come up yet, and the development department's plans have not been taken out..."
"If you have done Europe, you should consider entering the mainland market. Officials in Washington taxi management will resign because of inappropriate remarks and are investigated. If Uber wants to develop in the mainland, it needs to face not only the media and local regulatory authorities. A taxi license in New York is worth 600,000 US dollars, and if the currency value is not considered in China, a taxi license will also cost hundreds of thousands..."
Fu Zhengyi didn't say it thoroughly, but he believed that with Nick's intelligence, he should be able to understand it.
After the Americas are done, then Europe is done, and then Australia and Asia are the virus-spreading model. Uber can quickly open up the situation abroad, but at home? Fu Zhengyi does not feel that relying on lawyers and media can achieve results quickly.
Some markets are really not that easy to do...
