Han Xue waited and waited for Lin Yi's reply, and then she had to search the two people's names together out of boredom.
The name Gu Caiwei is now highly recognized by the public, especially among teenagers where idol culture is more popular.
Although Lin Yi has been in a lot of news, he is only somewhat famous in the entrepreneurial circle.
Theoretically, the intersection between these two circles is very small, and the number of people who pay attention to both aspects at the same time is very limited, if not completely absent.
However, Han Xue still saw someone pointing out this problem in some remote corners of the Internet:
"What a coincidence. I just found out that the founder of Wanli Travel graduated from the same high school as Gu Caiwei, who became popular this year!"
But without exception, all the messages mentioning these two people at the same time were not popular, and basically there were only a few replies.
Ordinary netizens would not be surprised if they saw this result, because they are two completely unrelated fields. What does it mean to graduate from the same high school?
Someone from the local area had to leave a message: "Linzhong is the best high school. There are many talented people in all walks of life. They are amazing."
However, Han Xue observed preconceptions and felt that there was no discussion at all about this news. No matter which forum it was posted in, it was ignored. It must have been artificially interfered with.
She guessed right.
Peng Yuchen monitors the public opinion of his girl group members, especially Gu Caiwei, 24 hours a day, and will send out an alert at any time if there is any abnormality.
The information that Han Xue found was left behind by Peng Yuchen on purpose. After all, it was public information that was difficult to conceal. If it was deleted too blatantly, it would be a waste of money.
But if there is any mention of the news that "the two of them are still classmates", Peng Yuchen will find a way to block it.
In short, Peng Yuchen spent 120% of his efforts to cover up the relationship between these two people.
So after Han Xue solved the case here and issued a threat, what was Lin Yi doing after receiving the message but not replying?
He is sleeping.
It wasn't until the next morning when Lin Yi woke up that he saw the message from Han Xue, and then he threw it aside without taking it seriously.
Because Han Xue is a woman with a rather elusive personality, he felt that the lack of protection was due to insomnia and his inability to sleep, so he might be teasing himself.
Since Han Xue had a certain opinion of herself because of her senior sister's affairs, Lin Yi tried his best not to be displeasing in front of her.
Anyway, I didn't plan to take any notice of it.
As expected, Han Xue didn't harass him with this sentence again. When the two met in the company, Lin Yi didn't notice anything unusual, so he didn't take it to heart anymore.
Well, except for the look in her eyes just now that seemed a little weird.
…
Lin Yi and Liu Jianni traveled all the way to the United States. After returning, they had a lot of things to deal with during their long trip. The first one was the special car service they had arranged before they left.
When I was in the United States, my senior sister made a special call to tell me the good news:
"The private car business has been approved by the higher authorities. The regulatory authorities have put forward a requirement that the mileage unit price is at least 30% higher than that of taxis, which is a mismatch with existing taxis."
The essence of this requirement is that the newly launched private car services of Wanli Travel and other taxi-hailing software can only serve high-end customer groups.
Because if the price is determined to be similar to that of a taxi, and there is no threshold for anyone to register, wouldn’t the taxi license be worthless?
Neither the taxi company nor the taxi driver can accept this situation.
This is actually a need to reconcile interests. Lin has been mentally prepared for it and can accept it. Wanli Travel's private car business is also prepared according to this idea.
Now that he could get this permission, he had some thoughts hidden in his heart that he didn't share with others.
That is, even if the policy does not allow it, he does not intend to wait any longer and will directly launch the special car business.
Because there is not much time left for them.
The worst thing is to pay a fine. Didn't Tuk-Tuk Taxi operate in Pengcheng with a fine in the first place? I can't handle this kind of thing if it's done first and then punished?
Lin Yida's courage to do this also comes from his inner conviction. He knows that this is the general trend. What is wrong with the so-called innovation means taking one or two steps more than others?
In any case, it is a good thing that the superiors have agreed, and Lin Yi does not want to take such unnecessary risks if conditions permit.
"It's no problem that private cars are positioned as high-end businesses. Uber's early success is enough to prove that there is market demand for this service, and there are enough potential customers in major domestic cities."
The root of the word Uber comes from German. The originally envisioned operating tool was an "elegant German car." However, when it was launched in San Francisco, the more common Lincoln city car was used there according to local conditions.
If you use a high-end car and have additional services such as door assistance, then the customers are naturally not ordinary middle-class people, but generally the upper-middle class or simply rich people from well-off families.
Uber was so popular in its early days because geeks in the Bay Area were particularly enthusiastic about the idea of using mobile phones to hail taxis, and its passengers were also rich and expensive.
A group of well-established customers became loyal fans after using Uber, and then helped the company take off in various ways.
This business line later developed into ck, which was named mainly because most of the services provided were black commercial vehicles.
Just like the habit of many American companies, Uber's business is promoted "top-down", covering business lines from high-end to low-end.
They had already studied these things, and what Li Moyan said now were very practical things:
"During the communication process with the regulatory authorities, I have taken the lead in establishing the company's private car division. According to the previous plan, the first step is to launch it in the four first-tier cities of Beijing, Shenzhou and Yangpeng."
"Our teams in four cities have negotiated with several car rental companies, who will provide vacant high-end cars and receive orders through the Wanli Travel APP. The starting price and mileage price are both significantly higher than taxis."
"The driver is partly provided by the car rental company, or can be hired through a third-party labor service company. There is no labor relationship with Wanli Travel."
"The operation team can go online at any time. We have initially selected the time of August 1st, and there will be a complete set of promotion measures by then."
"Generally speaking, it is to issue some special car trial red envelopes to users who use it frequently, so that they can experience more comfortable models and more detailed special car services. If they have enough financial ability, they can be converted into special car customers in the future."
Lin Yi asked Wang Kai: "How is the product prepared?"
Wang Kai answered affirmatively: "It has been prepared for a long time. We have added a new function to the original Wanli Travel APP and added a check button to select a taxi or a private car before placing an order."
"In the week after it goes online, the special car button will be highlighted in conjunction with the promotion, but it will not be checked by default for users."
Lin Yi didn't add anything to these step-by-step arrangements. He just reminded his senior sister:
"The taxi driver told the operations team to do some comforting. Even though we have done a lot of work, they may not understand. If the driver gets into trouble, they must prepare a plan first."
After these instructions, Wanli Travel finally announced the launch of its private car service on August 1, becoming the first in the industry.
