Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 453 It’s a big deal

Chengdu and Chongqing were originally territories dominated by Didi.

In early July, accompanied by overwhelming advertisements, taxis and private cars with the taxi travel logo printed on them appeared on the streets.

We don’t know how Didi will react once the two-front war against taxi travel is launched, but at least the effect of saving the media from disaster is immediate.

These resurrected media outlets suddenly became motivated and felt like they were doing well again.

They knew that the two companies would definitely fight, and the previous reports were just predictions.

Various reports began to emerge online.

"Taxi travel, East and West go hand in hand, now it really becomes Didi travel"

"Can Didi withstand the attack from Dafa? Experts have something to say"

My opinion on the subsequent development of the hit market

"Kuaidi Taxi enters FZ market, Yidao faces the biggest crisis in history"

The War of Three Kingdoms: The Beginning

Countless netizens who were paying attention to this taxi war were all attracted and waited for the development of the situation.

Some netizens even complained online that taking a taxi would be too expensive if the war spread to their area.

Shanghai Stock Exchange, Didi headquarters.

Cheng Wei no longer has the energy to care about any reports, as their information channels are much faster than those of media reporters.

He is now leading senior management in a conference call, with city managers from Nanjing, Hefei, Chengdu and Chongqing on the other end of the line.

"According to what you two said, Nanjing and Hefei are just Chen Mo's bluff?"

"Yes, Mr. Cheng. I sent someone to Nanjing to do some research. The promotion of taxi travel lasted only a week and then died down. We didn't see any new moves afterwards. But our market share for taxi travel is less than 20%, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

"The situation in Hefei is similar. Mr. Cheng, I feel that the other side is making a lot of noise but doing little. Our two places may be the targets of their feint attack. Their real target is Chengdu and Chongqing in the west."

The Chengdu city manager quickly spoke up, "Boss Cheng, this is definitely their main target. Several taxi companies that originally cooperated with us have been poached by them. We sent people to inquire about it, and the share they offered was 50% higher than ours. In addition, the advertisements shouted the slogan of half-price taxi rides. What's even more outrageous is that the drivers' salaries will not be deducted.

We simply cannot bear this situation. I need authorization from headquarters to start a price war with them to form a hedge. If the prices are equal, we have hope of driving them out!"

"Chongqing +1, Chongqing +1!"

"Okay, I received your message. Let's discuss it first. Wait for my call later."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Wei took the company's management team members to the sand table they had built in advance.

".This is the situation. Can everyone share their thoughts?"

One of them said, "It seems that Dadi Chuxing is trying to make a feint to the east and attack in the west. This is easy to deal with. Just like you said before, if he wants to fight, then let's fight. We can also fight a price war. Anyway, we have the advantage of the terrain, and the other party just took the initiative temporarily. The overall advantage is mine!"

Another person raised an objection, "Why do I feel like there is something fishy going on? How can such a tactic that can be seen at a glance be used in this way? You have to know that behind the other party stands Chen Mo, who has always been known for his cunning and insidiousness.

On the contrary, I think this is a trick of the other party, pretending to be real while pretending to be real.
When we put our main funds into Chengdu and Chongqing, they didn’t follow suit, and then we came back with a surprise attack.”

After hearing this, Cheng Wei thought about his previous dealings with Chen Mo and nodded in agreement. This was something this guy would do, and his style of doing things was often unexpected and surprising.

So he followed the other party's line of thought and said, "So what you mean is that Hefei and Nanjing are the other party's main positions, and they filled up our moat first?"

"I think that's it!"

At this time, other people had different opinions. "According to this, what if they predict our prediction and it turns out that the ultimate goal is still Chengdu and Chongqing?"

"Is it not possible that these two areas are the targets of the opponent's feint attack, and the opponent is directly stealing the home? You know, Chen Mo is a habitual offender of using this trick before!"

"You can only steal for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days. If it doesn't work, then we'll just go all out and attack them directly. We'll also advance on two fronts, one to the northeast and the other to Jinan and Zhengzhou in the north. Let's play the home exchange tactic!"

For a while, everyone had different opinions and the argument was fierce.

What gave Cheng Wei a headache was that he felt that what everyone said made some sense and that there was possibility for subsequent development.

At this stage, Didi may be inferior to its rival in terms of product quality, but the opponent is inherently at a disadvantage if it wants to attack. The capital size of both sides is similar, and the overall situation is 50-50.

But the next thing to compare is whoever uses up the chips too quickly within a unit of time will be eliminated first.

What if he made the wrong strategic choice and placed the wrong bet, for example, investing money in Chengdu and Chongqing, only to find out that it was just a bluff, then this money would be wasted.

When the subsidy activity is over, they will come back to continue. Will you follow them?

Left? Right? Or a third battlefield?

Since you are hesitant, the best solution is to remain unchanged in the face of change, first deal with the opponent's current tactics, and then observe the next move.

Fortunately, the other party only lasted for a week. If it was a month, Cheng Wei really wouldn't have the courage to follow.

An hour later, Cheng Wei overcame all objections and reached a consensus, and the conference call continued.

"Chengdu and Chongqing are following the other party's price war. We are subsidizing to make it 1 yuan cheaper than the other party. Doesn't the other party's promotion last for a week? We have 1 days to suppress the momentum of the other party, and then we will try again and make another offer."

“Chengdu and Chongqing understand!”

"Hefei and Nanjing, you two should quickly communicate with the taxi companies and give up 10% of the profit to stabilize the cooperative relationship first. It's the same. Explore again and then report."

“Hefei and Nanjing understand!”

However, it is indeed not appropriate to just defend without attacking. Didi has done a terrible job in fighting against taxi services, so it is not excessive for Didi to use its own method to retaliate.

Cheng Wei gave orders to everyone to assemble two armies and prepare to start the Northern Expedition!
He then sent the plan to Xiao Ma Ge, and immediately received strong support from the other party.

"Those guys running online ride-hailing companies are going too far. We can't let this go on!"

"We use our cars and provide our employees. These Internet bastards just made a software, spent some money on promotion, and took 50% of the profits. In fact, these profits originally belonged to us. How can such a good thing happen?"

"I agree. If we continue to leave it alone, it will be no different from sitting and waiting for death. In the end, they will take action and we will run ourselves a lot. They will make a lot of money, while we will only have a few dollars. Aren't we just beggars?"

"But our power is limited now, so we need to find more allies and make things bigger!"

“We need to unite!”

"Everyone, use your own strength to contact other bosses! Then we can work out a code of conduct together."

Subsequently, WeChat groups were quickly established.
After a few days,
"Fuck, Hefei, Nanjing, Chengdu, and Chongqing rejected our proposal."

"They have a new contract and their share of the profits is higher than ours. They will definitely not do something so dangerous!"

"People involved in the Internet industry are all evil-minded. They are trying to win over some, divide some, and suppress some. We cannot fall into their trap!"

"They won't work with us now, but when we get what we want, we'll make them regret it!"

"The more this happens, the more it proves that we are on the right track. We need to spread the message to the people below. We can't just focus on our own business, but unite all the forces that can be united! As long as we are united and have one mind, there is nothing we can't accomplish!"

"If we want to fight, we must hurry up and finalize the rules."

As time went on, a draft action plan took shape.
That night,

"Boss, this is SSR-level public opinion, please come and take a look."

When Zhang Xiaolong received Duan Hongyan's call, he immediately walked towards the other party's work area.

Because he just heard the words "SSR" and "hurry up" in the other party's words. Generally speaking, in this situation, the matter is not small.

Duan Hongyan, as his name suggests, is an expert in macro-analysis and is currently the head of the WeChat Public Opinion Monitoring Center. He was brought over from Xiaomi by his boss and is even said to be an old employee of Shanghe. He can be said to be a direct descendant of the direct descendants.

The WeChat Public Opinion Monitoring Center is called a department, but it is more accurate to call it a team. This department is quite special.

What’s special about it is that it leaves no trace on the apparent organizational structure of the Bian’an Group. Only the core senior management of the group knows of its existence, and it is an invisible department.

Jumping out of the three realms, not in the five elements.

It is said that when WeChat was first introduced, the boss personally proposed the establishment of a special agency named "Sky Eye". I had not come yet at that time, and now I am under my direct supervisor, who has the right to bypass me and report directly to the boss in special circumstances.

When WeChat was first established, chat records were stored in data centers on the other side of the Internet. However, as the number of WeChat users exceeded 4 million and million in the past two years, the scale has continued to grow.

The various texts, pictures, videos and other data from users’ chats became massive storage, so after the number of registered users exceeded 100 million, they were transferred to local storage on personal mobile phones.

The Bi'an Data Center will only save WeChat users' chat records for the past month for WeChat dual-end message synchronization.

Of course, this will increase the local storage of the user's mobile phone. For this reason, WeChat has also provided a solution. That is, users can use WeChat Assistant to selectively back up and compress chat content. The storage capacity is one tenth of the original capacity.

If the user plans to change his mobile phone, the chat history may be lost. The assistant also provides a one-click moving function.

Later, Bi'an Cloud appeared, and users could also choose to upload to the cloud for storage, which is similar to Apple's cloud. However, unlike Apple's extremely expensive storage prices of 6 yuan for 50GB/month, Bi'an is free.

These big data are a huge treasure trove for the other side, containing information about food, clothing, housing and transportation of countless users, business secrets, policy directions, and even many hidden records of illegal crimes.

This is the WeChat Public Opinion Monitoring Center. The meaning of its existence is also the meaning of what Chen Mo named "Sky Eye".

The Tianyan team is not large, with only 31 people. There is one person in charge and 1 people working on it, and there is no promotion or resignation.

Every member in it may not be the best in terms of technical skills, but they are definitely the most loyal. They are all veteran employees, with employee numbers in the top 300, the core of the core.

Due to the particularity of the department, the treatment of these people is unique, that is, as long as they keep their mouths shut and have a high level of awareness, these employees can work steadily for a lifetime and enjoy financial freedom. They have a more stable job than civil servants, and if any of them encounter difficulties, the group will immediately solve them.

The team is divided into two parts. Ten of them are big data analysis engineers who are responsible for extracting user portraits and feeding them to the system architecture group for iterative upgrades through machine learning. They analyze the various characteristics of users of different genders and age groups, and provide important data support and reference for subsequent product iterations of the other side.

The other 20 people are further divided into the audit group and the review group in a 3:1 ratio.

The former's daily content is to review and analyze various WeChat chat record data.

These data are collected by the "Sky Eye" system every day from tens of billions of WeChat information flows. Through intelligent semantic segmentation, it selects relevant entries that hit sensitive words, and then automatically divides them into three levels: R, SR, and SSR according to public opinion, corresponding to personal relevance, group relevance, and cross-strait interest relevance.

Generally, R level does not need to be processed, only SR level and above require manual review and analysis. If SSR level appears, Duan Hongyan will intervene directly and choose whether to report to the higher level in real time or report across levels as appropriate.

Externally, we analyze whether there are any illegal crimes such as gambling, drugs, terrorism, etc. Depending on the severity of the situation, we actively or passively cooperate with relevant law enforcement agencies to retrieve corresponding illegal chat records to effectively combat criminal activities.

Even in the past two years, he cooperated with the police to provide chat record information, and solved several major illegal and criminal cases.

Of course, the apparent statement is that Bi'an cooperates with the public security organs in investigating and collecting evidence, and serves as a good assistant to the relevant departments, which is a perfect example of the close relationship between the police and the people.

As for obscene content, Chen Mo has always adhered to the attitude of not promoting or encouraging it. The ordinary people's amateur entertainment life is relatively boring. It would be too pitiful if it is banned again. He is an experienced person, so WeChat also implements the will of its boss and maintains the principle of "officials do not correct if the people do not report it."

As long as you appreciate it secretly or circulate it one-way, there is no problem. But if you find someone crossing the line and posting such content in the group, you will be directly blocked, the group will be closed, the account will be banned, and appropriate measures will be taken depending on the situation.

After all, WeChat doesn’t want to follow in the footsteps of KuaiBo, because it was hit by the higher-ups for this trivial matter.

Internally, we analyze whether there is any commercial content that may be detrimental to the group, and take precautions in advance.

The review group's job is to conduct secondary confirmation of the audit results of the audit group to ensure that there are no omissions, and then form a daily report and submit it every day for Zhang Xiaolong or Chen Mo to review.

In fact, the review team also has a special and crucial SSS-level task, which is to analyze the power behind the registered identity information and collect "key information" for some "special user groups", such as who solicits prostitution, who takes drugs, who gambles, who evades taxes, who cheats, who comes out, and even who is a spy.
These special groups include: scholars, businessmen, and sports and entertainment circles (juan).
This is one of the "nuclear peace" methods that Chen Mo relies on in the future.
Of course, as the boss, Chen Mo’s chat records can only be viewed with super administrator privileges, and this account named superadmin is only held by himself.

In fact, every company like Bi'an has such a department. Don't be fooled by their claims and assurances.

We do not retain any user privacy information, these records are stored in the user's terminal
We respect user privacy and will never infringe or leak any user privacy information.
Of course, the most rampant ones are the three major ones that sell ID card information and mobile phone numbers.
In fact, each company is more ruthless than the other when it comes to using user data, both at home and abroad. For example, some companies prohibit Tesla from entering certain areas, and require overseas companies to build data centers in China. These are also based on considerations.

The users actually know the truth, but because they are too small and the impact is not big, everyone just turns a blind eye.

Small businesses don't feel it's necessary, but some medium and large companies require their employees to stay in the company during working hours, and are prohibited from using chat software such as QQ and WeChat. They even emphasize that they are prohibited from using XX software to discuss company business after get off work.

These companies either have the strength to develop their own IM software for internal communication, or choose the lesser of two evils and use MSN in order to prevent the leakage of business secrets to related parties.

This is also one of the reasons why the saying of using QQ for personal life and MSN for work became popular.

The location of the "Sky Eye" is on the floor below the top floor where Chen Mo is, on the same floor as the Tianji Pavilion.

After arriving at the place, Zhang Xiaolong passed the fingerprint and facial recognition scans before entering.

A few minutes later, he looked at the chat content above and his expression gradually became serious.

Recently, the group’s focus has been on food delivery and taxi-hailing, so “Sky Eye” added relevant sensitive words. Now it seems that important public opinion has indeed been discovered.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Zhang Xiaolong immediately gave instructions, "Summarize the key points of these chat records and send them to the boss. I'm going to report to him in person now!"

Duan Hongyan: “Understood!”

After half an hour.

After reading the contents of the email, Chen Mo muttered to himself, "I didn't expect that the Tianji Pavilion people's prediction would come true."

He immediately looked at Zhang Xiaolong, "This information is very important. At least it gives us time to respond. Well done!"

"Is there anything else I can do next?"

"Don't use it for now. It's not good to be too obvious, but I think it can really make a big deal out of a small one."

After Zhang Xiaolong left, Chen Mo called Wang Weijian and the two talked for nearly an hour.

Two hours after hanging up the phone, Wang Weijian held a video conference with the managers of the 34 cities that had taken the taxi.
Two days later.
A core WeChat group whose members are all taxi company owners.

"That's about it. Let's just leave it at that. It will be too late if we delay any further."

"It's better to do it today than today, how about tomorrow?"

Group leader: "Tomorrow some areas still need to contact the media and make banners. It's too rushed. Let's do it the day after tomorrow. While there is still time, let's have the people below consolidate the words and core ideas and make the final deployment and preparations.

Finally, I emphasize again that our ultimate goal is to take the lead in the distribution of benefits and let these online car-hailing companies know who is the boss in the taxi-hailing field. At 10 am the day after tomorrow, everyone will act in unison! "

"Oh", "ok", "yes", "OK", "got it", "no problem", "just wait and see", "on call at any time".
A variety of replies began to flood the screen.
July 7, this day in history, is the 18th day after the July 11 Incident.

Cheng Wei was driving his car, listening to music, and driving happily to the company. At this moment, a phone call broke the originally harmonious atmosphere.

When he saw the caller ID, "Xiao Ma Ge", he immediately slammed on the brakes, pulled the car to the side of the road, turned on the hazard lights, and answered the call.

"No, that's impossible. China is a society ruled by law. Okay, I'll handle it right away. I'll be at the office in 10 minutes!"

The next moment, Cheng Wei stepped on the accelerator and the vehicle took off on the spot, flying close to the ground. In 5 minutes, it was 30 meters outside the company, but he didn't dare to get closer.

Nima, it's still too late.
I saw taxi drivers holding a meeting downstairs in a building not far away. At first glance, there were at least dozens of people, two of whom were holding banners that read, "Didi company, give me back my hard-earned money."

There were some media taking pictures outside, and this scene also attracted many workers and ordinary people around to watch. At first glance, they thought it was a company that came here to check in for team building.

As Cheng Wei watched, sweat began to break out on his forehead.

Should he call the police? Cheng Wei thought about it and decided to have a chat to avoid causing trouble for the police. After all, if he called them in, the nature of the matter would change.

It is equivalent to two people fighting, and if they can't win, they sue the teacher. That will completely push Didi to the opposite side of the taxi company and become its mortal enemy. How can they cooperate in the future? If they really do this, it will make their relatives sad and their enemies happy. I guess Chen Mo will laugh in his dreams.

Didi company is located on the 13th to 16th floors of this business building. Fortunately, Cheng Wei knows that this building has a back door.

Then I went away secretly, praying in my heart that I could have a smooth day.
Not only in Shanghai, but also in Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other places across the country, similar scenes are being played out downstairs of online ride-hailing offices.

Even the Yidao taxi in Fuzhou was not spared. Zhou Hang looked at the indignant delegation in front of him and felt like crying but had no tears. I have only been here for a short time. I am innocent. It is unfair.
As one of the three major online ride-hailing services, taxi travel is facing an even more severe situation due to its location in an important area of ​​Beijing.

You have to know that the guys here are real Beijingers. They have seen everything. In the past, they were all people living under the imperial city.

Nearly a hundred people gathered downstairs of Wangjing SOHO. Taxi drivers represented the group to denounce, workers watched, and media took photos. It was a bustling scene with a lot of noise.

Even the SOHO building property management, seeing the situation was not good, quickly strengthened security forces to at least ensure that the situation would not escalate further.

At this moment, a person came out. When the reporter saw clearly that it was Wang Weijian, the CEO of Taxi Travel, the shutter of the camera in his hand almost collapsed.

Then they saw Wang Weijian welcoming these taxi drivers representatives in with a smile on his face, but the security guards at the door prohibited these reporters from entering and even set up a cordon to isolate these media reporters outside, so they could not see what was happening inside.

But the reporters didn't leave. After all, they hadn't finished watching the excitement yet. Who knows, maybe the police will come out and reveal some breaking news? What if the police car comes? If they really arrest a group of people.
The other side, Chen Mo, police, online ride-hailing, mass protests. Just putting these few keywords together can make you full of whatever you report.

The taxi war just started. Just thinking about the scene after the report was released and attracting everyone's attention, these reporters almost had a brain orgasm.

The reporters then sent the materials they had just collected back to the company via WeChat and began to speculate on what might have happened.
That state is like the gossiping middle-aged women waiting for the supermarket to open.
