Chapter 449 Pingguo provokes, Maili fights back, and the second master wants to retreat!!!
The online ride-hailing crisis did not end with the sudden rise of Qingcheng Taxi-hailing.
April 16th.
Relevant departments in Yangcheng have officially issued the first local regulations for the management of online ride-hailing, which clearly stipulate the management of online ride-hailing drivers, the platform’s regulatory responsibilities, and the security of platform operation data.
This is tantamount to placing a regulatory curse on the online ride-hailing platform.
after this.
Binhai City, Magic City and other places have also successively introduced similar management measures.
Regulations in various places have been further tightened.
There is even news that Jingshi is working on formulating management measures for online ride-hailing that are applicable to the whole country and implementing full-process supervision of the online ride-hailing industry.
There was a lot of praise online.
"Well done, the official finally took action!
"
“There are so many problems in the online ride-hailing industry, and it’s really time for the relevant departments to come to an end.”
"Tick Tock, are you dumbfounded this time?"
"Before, Qingcheng Taxi called on the industry to strengthen the regulatory responsibilities of the platform, but Dida and Kuaidi simply ignored it. Now, the relevant departments have personally stepped down to see how they can continue to behave."
"Actually, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I have uninstalled Didi and KuaiDi."
"Uninstall 1!
"
Consumers all have a rebellious mentality. As much as they enjoyed being served by Tick-Tock and Kuai-Di subsidies before, they will fall out quickly now, without any nostalgia at all.
No one would be willing to be cut off.
This undoubtedly makes the two online ride-hailing companies, Dida and Kuaidi, already in a difficult situation even worse. While their market share is further eroded by Qingcheng Taxi, they also face strong supervision.
Two companies that were prosperous before have immediately become endangered.
The latest news is that Dida originally planned to conduct a new round of financing to supplement liquidity, but was cautiously rejected by various investors.
The new round of financing has not yet been implemented.
It can be seen that as the trend of the industry turns, the investment institutions with the most sensitive sense of smell are also beginning to re-cautious about the financial situation of the online ride-hailing market.
………
Ahri Headquarters.
"Boss, I still have the same suggestion as before. It's time to consider the merger of Kuaidi and Dida." Ren Xiaoyao made another suggestion to the uncle.
But compared to last time, the situation has become more serious.
Especially for Kuaidi, the market share has been reduced to less than 20%. If no practical measures are taken, the market share will probably fall to 10% within a month.
And 10% of the market share, in the Internet industry, is almost equivalent to elimination.
There is no value in continuing support.
Ahri has invested more than one billion in Kuaidi. If Kuaidi is just allowed to be eliminated by the market, the loss will be huge, even if it is stronger than Ahri, it will not be able to bear it.
There is no way to explain it to the board of directors.
In particular, the failure of Kuaidi also means that Ali has failed in its offline payment expansion.
This will never be allowed.
"Okay, then let's promote the merger of Kuaidi and Dida."
This time, the uncle didn't insist anymore, because persistence had no meaning. Facing the "aggressiveness" of Qingcheng Taxi, Kuaidi and Tida could only hug each other to keep warm.
Otherwise, they will both be squeezed out of the market.
"By the way, boss, tomorrow the scarf will be launched in the beautiful country. Which executive of the group will be arranged to attend the beautiful country?" Seeing that the uncle was in a bad mood, Ren Xiaoyao quickly changed the subject.
Tell me some good news.
"Just look at the arrangements!"
Sure enough, the uncle's mood improved a lot when he mentioned that the scarf was on the market. Ahri's previous investment in the scarf was his proud work.
I didn’t want to receive the reward so quickly.
………
The next day, Tengda Building.
"Boss, Ahri has agreed to promote the merger of Dida and Kuaidi." Lu Jian received Ahri's reply and rushed to report it as soon as possible.
"OK."
Unexpectedly, the second master's interest was not high, and he was even a little listless, because he had foreseen that even the merger of Dida and Kuaidi would not be able to shake Qingcheng Taxi's position in the online ride-hailing industry.
At best, they can barely protect themselves.
In addition, after the merger, Zhifubao and Caifutong will be launched at the same time. It will not have much promotion effect on the promotion of Caifutong, and the strategic value will naturally be greatly reduced.
It's strange that the second master is in such high spirits.
More importantly, Erye has just seen the detailed report of Tenda Group for the first quarter. Both the game business and the social business are still stuck in the dilemma of single-digit growth.
Against the backdrop of the current explosion of the mobile Internet industry, single-digit growth is almost zero growth after offsetting inflation.
And in sharp contrast——
It is the game business of Qinghe Group, with a growth rate of more than 30% in a single month.
This means that the gap between Tenda’s game business and Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has not only failed to narrow, but is also continuing to expand.
Especially as their respective bases increase, this gap increases exponentially.
Reflected in the revenue data, it is the total monthly revenue of Tenda Games. It is roughly estimated that it is only one-seventh of that of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, or even less than that.
This is so worrying.
The most direct result is that in the past six months, Tenda Group's cash flow has been under pressure, and it has almost relied on various financing and loans to survive.
Just like this investment in Dida, it almost drained Tenda of its cash flow.
This is also why the second master was able to save face and take the initiative to call the uncle to "seek peace" because Tengda's cash flow really couldn't support it.
How sad is this?
Since its establishment, Tengda has never experienced such a dilemma except in its early days.
Today's Tengda is no longer on the same level as the Sprout Group, and is even slightly inferior to the Qinghe Group under the Sprout Group.
It's really hard to accept.
The second master couldn't figure out how, in just three or four years, this rival from the same city had grown to its current size under his nose.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I really can’t understand it!
Because of this, the second master is afraid of Mei Ya from the bottom of his heart.
This opponent is so evil!
Just like this online ride-hailing war, Qingcheng Taxi-hailing seems to be staying out of the action, hiding in the shadows, and constantly accumulating energy.
Only when he was almost exhausted, did he draw his sword decisively and decide the world with one sword.
How can you not be afraid?
Never mind that I have seen this style of play before, I have never even thought about it.
After a brief silence, the second master raised his head, glanced at Lu Jian, and said calmly: "I plan to step down from the position of CEO of the group next month, and you will take over. You should be prepared."
The second master was tired after all.
I finally stopped worrying and decided resolutely to follow the example of my uncle, withdraw from the daily management of the group, and devote more time and energy to thinking at the corporate strategic level.
otherwise.
If Tenda really wants to develop according to the current inertia, it will have to be eliminated by the times.
"Boss, is this too sudden? Do you want to think about it again?" Lu Jian suppressed the excitement in his heart and quickly expressed his attitude.
Who knows if this is a temptation from the boss.
Hold on!
At this time, the less eager you can be to show your enthusiasm for the CEO position!
"This is the result of my careful consideration. You should stop delaying and have the courage to take responsibility." The second master gave Lu Jian reassurance.
"Thank you boss for trusting me."
At this moment, Lu Jiancai finally believed it and secretly clenched his fists——
"Oh my god, it's finally my turn!
"
Who knows what kind of waiting and suffering Lu Jian went through in order to wait for the day to take over. Fortunately, he finally achieved what he wanted, and everything before was worth it.
………
Another week has passed in the blink of an eye.
Just last Saturday, Pingguo promptly announced the design plan of Pingguo smart watch.
It's announced.
The most important thing is that Pingguo has not forgotten the connotation of Maili smart watch. It is said that the design inspiration of Pingguo smart watch was born within Pingguo as early as two years ago.
It's just for the sake of excellence that I've been putting it off until now.
Smart people immediately understood the implications of Pingguo's words. Two years ago, Maili Group had just been established, and it had not even launched its first smartphone, Maili X1.
At that time, it was naturally impossible for Maili Group to engage in the research and development of smart watches.
That is to say——
Although the design of the Maili smart watch was announced earlier than Pingguo, the fact is that Pingguo's smart watch was inspired and creative first, and the Maili smart watch is just Pingguo's wisdom.
Just a hint——
Maili smart watch is suspected of plagiarizing Pingguo smart watch.
Not to mention, Pingguo's rhetoric is still very popular overseas, especially in the United States, Europe, and markets like Japan and Korea.
Many people choose to believe in Pingguo.
In other words, it is because I am instinctively hostile to wheat grains, so I choose to believe in pinguo.
It made Pingguo feel angry.
More importantly, through such a single operation, Pingguo Smart Watch has reversed the unfavorable situation of being "only a watch after Maili" and established its brand advantage in major overseas markets.
have to say.
Although Pingguo's public relations methods were a bit despicable this time, the results were really good.
This has angered Chinese consumers.
"Let me make a list, Pingguo, this is too shameless, isn't it?"
"That's right, Pingguo said he had the inspiration two years ago. Does that mean he really had it? Who would believe it?"
"Fruit fans: We believe it!
"
"Pingguo's methods are despicable, but he can't stand up to the fans' stupidity. He is really speechless."
"you do not say?!"
"Not to mention, Pingguo already had the idea of a smart watch two years ago. Even if it is true, so what? In the business world, isn't the competition about who can come up with the product first?"
"You are right. As long as the MaiLi smart watch comes out first, then MaiLi will represent advancement."
"Hey, I have fantasized about drones when I was a kid. Does that mean that Wujiang Technology has shamelessly copied my ideas and inspiration? It's so mentally retarded that it's suffocating."
“Haha, the explanation upstairs is very insightful!
"
"Have you all seen clearly? These are the so-called overseas giants. They usually pretend to be human beings, but when they are really threatened, they will all take off their disguises. They are more shameless than anyone else!
"
"Drink, bah!
"
No wonder Chinese netizens are so excited. After finally saying that Maili Group has produced a world-leading electronic product in the field of consumer electronics, it was actually slandered by Pingguo.
Anyone else would be angry, okay?
This means that even if Pingguo's tricks can fool overseas consumers, they will definitely be boycotted by consumers in the Chinese market.
WTF!
Not only were netizens filled with indignation, but the Maili Group was also unfazed. The group's public relations department immediately launched a concise reply to Pingguo's remarks——
"We don't know why a simple smart watch design took two years. We also don't understand how the idea of a smart watch has long been a consensus in the industry, so how can it become the patent of a certain company?"
"We only know that the Maili smart watch will be the first smart watch in the world, and it will also be the first-class smart watch."
"We are not a slut, Maili Group is pursuing efficiency and quality at the same time!"
As soon as such a slightly playful response came out, it was no surprise that it immediately aroused enthusiastic responses on the Chinese Internet, attracting applause from countless netizens!
"Wakaka, as expected of the Maili Group, it is Gang!
"
"The companies owned by Sprout Ya never disappoint in this aspect!"
“I am also convinced by this response!
"
"It's so interesting. I suspect that the person who wrote this article must be a cute girl."
"Uh, is it possible that he is a cute boy???"
"There's something wrong with you upstairs!
"
“Support Maili Group, the response is amazing!
"
"Yeah, say a thousand, say ten thousand. Shopping malls don't rely on words, products are king. As long as the Maili smart watch is the first to go on sale, it will be the world. No one can be stubborn."
"Pingguo: No, I have to redefine what global means!"
“The king of words belongs to you!
"
"Let Pingguo fool you, we will see the real chapter in the second half of the year."
Maili Group's strong response caused a bit of a stir not only on the Chinese Internet, but also on the global Internet, and gained many supporters.
after all.
Beautiful countries cannot represent the world, nor can Europa represent the world.
What's more, even in beautiful countries and Europe, they are not monolithic, and there are different voices. Not everyone is so superstitious about pingo.
Especially in the Europa market.
With the hot sales of Maili X2, its quality has won the recognition of many consumers.
Compared to Pingguo 5S.
Maili X2 not only has better performance, but is also cheaper, making it a model of high quality and low price.
Consumers are not fools and will eventually vote with their feet. Just like the success of Warwick in the European market, good products will eventually win market recognition.
This also leads to the saying that the play written and directed by Ping Guo has a sense of anticlimactic start and tail end.
It even seems a little funny!
Obviously, Pingguo's operation this time is suspected of being a scam. If it were applied to other companies, this might not be a cause for alarm, and it could even be said to be a routine operation.
"But this is Pingguo, proud Pingguo!
"
Have you ever seen the proud Pingguo want to fight against his competitors? He has always been invincible, okay?
It can be seen from this.
The rapid rise of wheat grains has indeed posed a great threat to Pingguo.
This is a fact!
With this kind of recognition and comparison, the brand influence of Maili has once again begun to quietly sprout in overseas markets such as Europe and gradually gain a firm foothold.
At least, in the perception of ordinary consumers, Maili is already a brand that can keep pace with Pingguo.
Otherwise, why would Pingguo be so nervous?
This also leads to the saying that Pingguo originally wanted to suppress Maili's influence in overseas markets by connoting a wave of Maili, but the result was just the opposite, causing Maili to "passively" hit Pingguo.
It’s true that it makes people dumbfounded.
………
Pingguo Headquarters.
After reading the comments on the washbasin website about Pingguo smart watches and Maili smart watches, Qiao Bisen was stunned and asked, "What's going on? How could this happen?"
He hurried to Tim's office and said speechlessly: "Tim, is this the good idea you said?"
"What the hell..."
Faced with Joe's question, Tim was almost out of breath. How did he know that things would suddenly turn out like this? He was already ready to open the champagne to celebrate when he clearly had a chance to win, but the result was suddenly reversed.
Was caught off guard.
If Tim knew the second master well, he would definitely not be so confused.
Because this is a budding foundation.
"It seems that we need to seriously study Maili as a competitor." Tim's expression was solemn.
………
Two days later, while the Chinese Internet was still arguing about wheat grains and pingguo, a piece of news suddenly made countless good men in China cry——
On April 22, SlowBo’s Binhai City headquarters was seized by relevant authorities.
