Although Li Moyan did not directly mention Liu Qing's name in the program, it is difficult not to have corresponding associations when accepting such an interview at this time, and enthusiastic netizens will remind her to pay attention.
Neither Liu Qing nor the company responded.
However, she may not respond, but the impact caused by the stewardess will not disappear in a vacuum. During this period, there has been a significant loss of users of the taxi app, especially passengers who use ride-hailing.
At the same time, due to the fierce criticism of ride-hailing owners on the Internet, some drivers who honestly drive ride-hailing to subsidize gas expenses have also begun to turn to other platforms.
Given the current industry structure of online ride-hailing, there is actually only one competing product to choose from, and that is Lin Yi and his company’s Wanli Travel.
The ride-hailing business here was only launched after Dudu, but it had not improved before. Shao Yu, who was asked by Lin Yi to take charge of this business, had been looking sad for more than half a year.
In just a few days, the number of users has doubled, making this kid beam with joy.
So much so that Lin Yi reminded him specifically: "Don't just be happy, the senior sister even let it out in the show, saying that we will continue to improve safety measures."
"As the general manager of the ride-hailing business unit, you remember to take this matter to heart. I have no profit requirements for you now, so you must do a good job in this matter."
"Now that we are stepping on Liu Qing's ascendance, there are hidden dangers in raising the tone so high. If something like this happens during Wanli Travel, the backlash we will suffer from public opinion will only be more serious."

Shao Yu solemnly agreed: "I understand."
Lin didn't give too many instructions until one o'clock, because the Wanli Travel team were all very young and had a strong sense of justice.
When the previous flight attendant incident in Dudu happened, they were all filled with indignation and were deeply ashamed of their colleagues. Lin Yi believed that they would not fail to take a warning.
But having said that, if Lin Yi's side is going well, it means Liu Qing's side is not going well. They are now in a life-and-death relationship.
…
"Can't wait any longer!"
After the merger with Uber, Cheng Wei and his founding team all stepped aside in the company. The main management positions were occupied by the investment banking department introduced by Liu Qing. At this time, they were discussing countermeasures.
Liu Qing's tone sounded decisive. Her subordinates looked at each other in silence, so only one person spoke.
This is her cousin Liu Zhen. After the merger of the two companies, Liu Qing left the original Uber team. Liu Zhen, who was the top person before, was a benchmark.
"It has only been a few days since our Hitch products were taken offline for rectification. If we are in such a hurry to resume production, the outside world will definitely doubt our sincerity in rectification."
"The impact of Uber's incident in India has spread to China. This kind of matter is actually very sensitive. I think it is better to handle it cautiously."
In fact, Liu Zhen's hiring happened after that incident, but at that time, she was deeply impressed by Lin Yi, who traveled thousands of miles, and insisted on grabbing Uber and attacking Kalanick by name.
She made this suggestion sincerely, but it was rejected by Liu Qing.
"Of course I know how important this matter is, and I am willing to devote enough time and energy to investing in this aspect."
"But everyone, our business cannot stop because of this. Look at Wanli Travel, because our free rides are offline and we have attracted all the users by bragging."
"If we continue to delay, even if our ride-hailing business can solve all safety issues in the future and ensure that no accidents occur, we will permanently lose these users. So what's the point?"
Liu Zhen asked again: "If we go back online so quickly, will the regulatory agency agree?"
Liu Qing looked confident: "I will send the GR team to communicate. This will not and should not be an obstacle for us."
Just because Liu Zhen stopped talking does not mean that she is completely convinced of this matter.
Although they are from the same family, they do not have the same father after all, not to mention that even biological sisters may not get along.
After the merger of the two companies, although Liu Qing did not expel people, Uber employees generally felt a big gap in their hearts.
Take the flight attendant incident as an example. Uber itself has no free ride. This is actually the shit that everyone has done, and now it is also being shamed by Uber under the management of the same company.
For this reason, Kalanick, who has returned to China, also issued a statement stating that Uber A, which has been merged with Liu Qing's Xindu Capital, is not actually the same company as them.
Many old people who were former Ubers felt deeply regretful in private and discussed a lot:
“It was too early when Laoka agreed to merge, otherwise Uber’s opportunity would have come.”
They all kept talking, as if they were very familiar with Kalanick.
In fact, Kalanick is not a good guy. Uber was sued in South Korea over the issue of illegal cars. The prosecutor did not agree to guarantee his acquittal, so he has been reluctant to appear in court. It is very likely that he will be banned from South Korea for this.
In short, Liu Zhen, like many employees who think they are Uber people, has actually given up on it, so she no longer persists in persuading her.
The subordinates on Dudu Kuadu's side will not oppose Liu Qing. They have always been on Liu Qing's side since they joined the company, and their prestige has reached a new high after this large-scale merger.
Cheng Wei can be kicked away, who do you think he is?
With this mentality, their choice is obvious, and from an economic point of view, Liu Qing's words are not unreasonable.
Liu Qing's attitude was immediately implemented.
Soon, Dudu Taxi announced that in order to avoid inconvenience to the majority of users, it had resumed ride-hailing services.
Also announced were the corrective measures taken in response to this flight attendant incident.
These include taking offline the function of drivers labeling and commenting on passengers, strengthening the protection of personal information of both parties, and strengthening the certification of drivers.
In other words, it ensures that when passengers get on the bus, they meet the driver himself who has registered an account. When the driver takes the order, he cannot tell whether the driver is male or female, beautiful or ordinary.
In short, the ride-hailing business gave up the "social attributes" they have always advertised and returned to the essence of picking up and dropping off passengers.
Well, legally it should be called "shared rides". Neither the platform nor the driver provides operational services to passengers. This concept has become widely known through the popularization of flight attendants.
In addition, Dudu also announced that it will suspend accepting ride-hailing orders between 10 pm and 6 am.
There are many other measures, and the more creative ones are that they actually raise some issues for discussion, probably to show that they are really sincere in establishing a solid and orderly security boundary.
Will netizens buy this statement if it is released?
Of course I don’t buy it!
Even though the memory of netizens only lasts seven seconds, they all took advantage of it. This time, it was offline for rectification and then online again. It was so fast that it was impossible to pretend to have amnesia.
No matter what, Liu Qing still pushed the free ride again despite the pressure, because it was OK to be scolded, but the business could not be lost.
Liu Qing was still shrewd. She specifically asked: "Let the public relations team prepare for emergencies."
