It is worth mentioning that when Dolphin Travel was officially launched as a pilot in Dongxin District, Didi’s market value fell on the same day, and the foreign company Uber was also affected by this.
It can be said that all online ride-hailing companies in the Internet travel field have suffered a heavy setback.
Facing the emerging force of Dolphin Travel, established Internet travel companies such as Didi Taxi simply cannot compete with it. Taking Dongxin District as an example, the cost of Dolphin Travel is directly 70% cheaper than Didi.
This, this, this...
Didi Company doesn't even have the courage to start a price subsidy war with Dolphin Travel. If it wants to raise funds, it probably won't be able to raise a few dollars. The investment is not promising at all. It really can't compete. Didi Travel's drivers are human beings.
This means that the labor cost is there, and no matter how much the price is reduced, this account will never be eliminated, and it is a big expense.
But Dolphin Travel is different. It directly saves the largest labor cost. Even if its competitors charge 70% less than the same period last year, they are still making money.
In fact, Didi Company directly announced to "disarm" and lie down, even lying down properly.
Directly express that I can't do it, but I can't do it.
But Didi said it was not panic, because Didi has made large-scale investments in other fields over the years, and has gradually transformed from an Internet travel company into an investment company. At the beginning, venture capital was almost pissed off. Dolphin
Before travel came out, Didi Chuxing almost monopolized the domestic Internet travel business and suffered losses every year.
All the money you lost was invested.
However, with the emergence of the emerging force of Dolphin Travel, Didi Travel’s previous investment behavior became a life-saving straw, otherwise this company would really be a pill.
But then again, now that the pills are basically in place, Didi now only needs the head of the company to announce the transformation of the company.
Faced with competitors like Dolphin Travel, no peer company can find any chance of winning unless it can compete with Coastline Group in core technology.
Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. Less than a week after the pilot launch of Dolphin Travel in Dongxin District, the number of local taxi drivers who joined Didi Travel began to decrease sharply.
There is no other reason than that the number of passengers has plummeted, all of which have been taken away by the unmanned intelligent travel of Dolphin Travel. In the past, there were drivers from Didi Travel who specialized in doing this job. They treated it as a full-time career and could not take a vacation for a month.
Create tens of thousands of dollars in net income.
But for Didi drivers in Dongxin District, because Dolphin Travel officially launched its business, their income last week was barely over 300 yuan. What the heck, just drink the northwest wind.
This has also caused Didi drivers in other areas to prepare to change careers, which will undoubtedly further setback Didi Travel.
At this time, Shen Chen called the unmanned vehicle and waited quietly. The app showed a white Tesla electric vehicle arriving at his location in about a minute.
At the same time, the Tesla electric car with a white face was driving on Fei'e Road, turned a three-way intersection and entered the East Avenue, and finally stopped on time at the intersection where Shen Chen was.
Shen Chen checked the license plate number on the app, and after confirming it was correct, he came to the car, opened the rear door and took a seat. After closing the door, he subconsciously glanced at the driver's seat.
There is no one!
To be honest, this is Shen Chen's first time to experience an autonomous vehicle, and he is still a little uneasy.
At this time, an electronically synthesized girl’s voice sounded:
Passengers whose last number is 0955 are received. The destination is 'Swan Lake Hologram Cinema'. The estimated journey time is 8 minutes. Passengers are asked to fasten their seat belts. The vehicle is about to start. In case of emergency, just call 'Stop' on the spot and the vehicle will be there. Park on the nearest designated road.
The Dongxin District Transportation Committee reminds you that there are thousands of roads and safety is the first priority. If travel is irregular, loved ones will cry.
Shen Chen, who was about to fasten his seat belt, was stunned when he heard it. When he realized it, he felt like laughing on the spot. The dolphin trip was so popular. This was not the most widely spread part in the first part of "The Wandering Earth". This is a classic line. Although it does not rhyme, it is the most widely circulated and familiar line in the entire movie. When it was released four years ago, transportation committees across the country imitated it one after another.
It just so happens that I’m going to watch "The Wandering Earth 2" right now.
The seat belts were fastened, and the car moved forward slowly under unmanned autonomous driving. It drove smoothly for eight minutes and arrived at the destination smoothly.
"I will use Dolphin to travel from now on. Just go to shit." Shen Chen got off the car and was very satisfied. He opened Alipay and paid 3.5 yuan, which was very affordable.
At the same time, the real-time video inside the Tesla unmanned electric vehicle scanned the cleanliness of the vehicle, determined that it met the standards, and immediately entered standby mode and automatically drove to the nearest dedicated parking lane to wait for the next customer. If the scan was If the cleanliness of the vehicle is below the standard value, the vehicle will be driven to the nearest service center for cleaning and then receive passengers.
These are the locations where Dolphin Travel officially operates and maintains vehicles.
The unmanned vehicle carrying Shen Chen quickly received new deployment from the backstage master control center, and immediately drove smoothly to receive the next passenger according to the designated route.
At the same time, Shen Chen entered the Swan Lake Holographic Cinema. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the holographic cinema is very busy. The Spring Festival period is a rare time of high popularity for the cinema throughout the year.
Shen Chen came to the service front desk to pick up the ticket. After looking at the time and distance, he still had to wait for about 5 minutes, so he was not in a hurry. The holographic movie ticket was about the same price as the previous IMAX giant screen. The ticket price for the movie "The Wandering Earth 2" this time was 115 yuan.
A few minutes passed in a blink of an eye. Shen Chen walked to the holographic screening room No. 6 specified on the ticket. He found more and more that his life was increasingly inseparable from the company Coastline Group.
Traveling, watching movies...
Unknowingly, this enterprise has entered into the daily lives of ordinary people, and it is likely that it will be as inseparable as water and electricity in the future.
Generally speaking, Shen Chen was in a good mood at this time. The only thing that made him extremely unhappy was the couples in the movie theater. There was nothing to say but I wish them happiness in breaking up. If not Come support "Little Broken Ball" so that you won't go to the cinema alone during the Spring Festival and be abused by dogs.
Entering the holographic projection hall, in today's cinemas, the screen has disappeared for several years after holography. At first, everyone was not used to it, but now everyone has adapted to the feeling of going to the cinema to watch movies without a screen.
Holding a bowl of popcorn and "Cola", Shen Chen sat in seat No. 7 in the third row. Ye Hua not only "annihilated" the cinema screen, but also put on James Cameron's glasses for the audience. The 3D eyes were also removed.
You don’t need any D-type eyes to watch holographic movies, you can just watch them with naked eyes.
When the screening time came, the lights in the holographic screening room dimmed, and the first picture that appeared was the evil "****logo".
The first part of "The Wandering Earth" failed to catch up with the era of holographic screening, but the sequel is decisively holographic. The first part was released in 2019. The production cycle of the second part was also as long as the first part, and it also took nearly four years.
year, it was not released until the first day of the Lunar New Year this year.
As the movie officially started, there was no sound of chatter in the screening room, except for the occasional crunching sound of popcorn, but it was nothing serious.
…
(ps: I’ll go to the third place tomorrow to get the small breaking ball~~~)
