Weicheng is holding a company meeting to discuss Didi's global layout.
As a boss who started his business in the new era, he is very aware of the importance of keeping up with the development trend of the times. It is based on this that Didi is where it is today.
It is only a matter of time before aircraft gradually become more popular and completely replace cars. The development trend of globalization and global villageization will also be inevitable, and international exchanges and exchanges will become more frequent than ever before.
In the past, you might just go abroad for travel, study, or business, but now, you might go abroad to have a late-night snack, drink wine, or buy seafood, fruits, and anything else.
.
According to the latest data released by Xinghai Aerospace Technology Group, the number of people and times using aircraft for international flights, cross-border travel, and entertainment has increased by more than 50% compared to before.
And this is just the beginning, because the overall number of aircraft is still very small, and there are only tens of thousands of private anti-gravity aircraft flying around the world.
But in the future, as the production of aircraft continues to increase, and private anti-gravity aircraft continue to become more popular and increase in number, the number and frequency of international flights, cross-border travel, and recreation will also increase dramatically.
We clearly saw the coming huge wave, so Didi also made early arrangements in advance. Didi's global business was already online throughout the year, and it also raised financing again, raising more than 100
With a capital of 100 million, we are ready to start the money-burning mode.
"Mr. Wei, there are currently a total of twelve taxi-hailing software companies around the world. Most of them are newly founded. Ten of them are companies within our company. The most powerful company is undoubtedly Global Flying.
It has completed three rounds of financing, raising more than 5 billion in funds, and is currently advertising aggressively to attract aircraft owners to take orders for their business."
"Several other taxi-hailing apps in Guonei are currently mainly engaged in the taxi-hailing business in Guonei. Some of them are already doing quite well in this area, and their daily business volume has exceeded 10,000 orders."
Listening to the information reported by his subordinates about competitors, Wei Cheng also frowned and thought for a while and said: "How much money they invest in advertising, we will invest double the advertising fee."
"We will give double the subsidy as much as they give."
"We must always firmly occupy the leading position in the industry, gradually occupy all traffic and business, and completely defeat these competitors."
When it comes to capital, Weicheng is very confident because he has strong financial support behind him. Every financing raised by Didi has been very successful. The number of financings has been many and the amount of financing has been very large.
The 10 billion on hand now is just the beginning. As long as there is need, the capital behind it can send more ammunition at any time.
And Weicheng has always had only one trick, which is to throw money, keep throwing money, give drivers a lot of subsidies, give consumers a lot of coupons, and even let consumers use it for free. In short, he must first seize the traffic and traffic.
The market has killed all competitors. When the market is in one's own hands, it's time to eat meat.
"yes!"
When his subordinates heard this, they quickly replied.
Now that we are wealthy and have plenty of money, we are not afraid of any competitors at all.
Anyway, the current stage is a stage of burning money. The more money is burned, the more assured the shareholders behind it will be and the more supportive they will be, and more money will be channeled.
"Mr. Wei, there are a lot of business orders for Didi around the world, but there are too few drivers to take orders. Currently, more than 99% of our orders are not accepted, which has a huge impact on our business.
As a result, a large number of customers are complaining and complaining about this matter."
"Especially from foreign customers, the complaint rate is very high, and some people have even sued us. This will have a great impact on our future layout."
Another subordinate reported the most troublesome thing now.
It’s not that there are no monads now, on the contrary, there are a lot of them.
Whether there are domestic orders or international orders, the number is very large. This is why more than a dozen taxi-hailing apps can survive, because there are enough orders that as long as you have a driver, you can pick them up.
Orders, completed orders, and traffic.
Because of the emergence of aircraft, long-distance travel has become very easy and frequent. In the past, it might have been troublesome to go home, and it would also take a long time, making people very tired and leaving little time to go back.
But now that there are aircrafts, travel is very fast. Even if you travel all over the world, it only takes a few dozen minutes. In addition, traveling abroad, shopping, etc. are also very popular now.
What do many people who don’t have aircraft want to do if they want to keep up with the trend? They can only call a taxi. The cost of aircraft is not expensive. The cost of an aircraft flying 1,000 kilometers is only a few dozen yuan, which is not even a fraction of what it used to be.
So taking a taxi is not expensive. In addition, everyone is desperately burning money now. In many cases, it is cheaper to fly an aircraft for thousands of kilometers than to hail a taxi in the city.
This stimulated a large number of orders and demand, and there were so many orders that it was impossible to finish them all.
Because the number of aircraft is too small now, there are less than 100,000 aircraft in total, and they are distributed all over the world, including a large number of Skywalker and Windrunner aircraft.
People who can afford these aircraft will never think about flying Didi, unless they suddenly want to pick up girls and fly the aircraft to pick up orders from some beautiful women.
People who can afford Freelander and Sunwalker aircraft can also be considered the middle class, and they are unlikely to think about flying Didi.
The number of aircraft itself is small, and coupled with the fact that they do not fly very much, this naturally leads to a large number of orders that are not accepted, making consumers very dissatisfied.
"Optimize the system, give priority to recommending long-distance, large orders to drivers, and increase subsidies to attract more people to become Didi drivers."
After Wei Cheng heard this, he frowned. There was nothing he could do about it.
Because the number of aircraft is too small, the current situation is like this, and there is no other way except increasing subsidies to attract drivers to join.
"In addition, let the customer service team continue to call those owners of aircraft, one by one, over and over again, to attract more people to join the ranks of our brother's drivers."
After thinking for a while, Wei Cheng added.
When I first started my business, there were no customers to place orders at that time, and the drivers could not receive orders, so they were very dissatisfied. The situation now is just the opposite. People are already very familiar with taxis and easily accept them, but there are no
There are enough drivers to take orders.
The production and quantity of aircraft are currently too few.
And in the next two to three years, this situation will exist. The global market demand for aircraft is very huge. At least hundreds of millions of aircraft can barely meet the global market demand.
And even if domestic aircraft manufacturers start producing at full capacity from now on, it is estimated that it will take several years to meet the huge market demand.
This is also what worries Wei Cheng the most.
Because as long as there are enough orders, enough market and profits will spawn more and more competitors, and everyone can survive on this huge market, because the orders are large enough to feed everyone.
This is different from the past. In the past, everyone competed for orders, and whoever provided more subsidies could gradually occupy the market. Now, there are enough orders, but there are too few drivers.
This will not only spawn a large number of taxi-hailing software companies, but also the global taxi business will also be involved in this field.
When the time comes for those taxi companies to purchase thousands or tens of thousands of aircraft at a time to engage in the global taxi business, there will definitely be a huge market.
And compared with the taxi business, the advantages of the taxi business can be more obvious.
First of all, it’s safety. The outside is not as good as the inside. Many places are very dangerous and everyone can hold a gun. If your aircraft flies over these places, the other party may rob you.
Kill your people.
If something like this happens, how should Didi deal with it?
Of course you can push it cleanly, but this will also cause the driver to lose track.
The taxi company is different. They can modify the aircraft and add safety protection measures to prevent this kind of thing from happening. It is obviously impossible to do this with your private aircraft.
Secondly, in terms of fare payment, there have been a lot of cases where people are unwilling to pay. Especially in Guowai, there are many people who are simply unwilling to pay for taxis, which makes Didi drivers very helpless.
Also, many places use cash for payment, which is also a big problem. It is more suitable for the taxi business, but the impact of taxi-hailing software is relatively large.
There are many problems, many things, and many competitors.
But also Didi Global's business is really very profitable, which is a huge gold mine.
Once the world becomes a village and globalization becomes more frequent, the volume of global flying business will be extremely huge, and real money can be made casually.
What's more, this still involves business on a global scale. You must know that once it becomes popular, airlines around the world will basically face bankruptcy, and these businesses will be transferred to the global taxi business, and the profits and business volume will be
How big is it?
Didi is very clear here. Once it can dominate the global taxi business, Didi's global value will be immeasurable and it can take off directly on a rocket.
PS: If you were in a world like this, do you have any good entrepreneurial ideas?
