Chapter 454 Stop
Downstairs, media reporters were talking about it.

"Now it's time to watch the fun~ I thought online ride-hailing was unreliable, and now it's exposed!"

"The taxi drivers are so arrogant, these people on the Internet can't beat them"

"These days, honest people are afraid of the arrogant ones, the arrogant ones are afraid of the stupid ones, the stupid ones are afraid of the desperate ones. Who knows, maybe someone will jump down soon, and it will be interesting."

"Hey buddy, we have to be conscientious when doing news reporting. After all, it's a human life!"

"Brother, you are still young. The first thing you lose in this line of work is your conscience. Listen to my advice. If you can't stand it, you can change your career~"

"It's none of your business. You're just pretending to be so great just because you've worked for a few more years!"

I don't know if there was a fight inside, but the reporters outside were about to start a fight.
upstairs
elevator door opens
"welcome."

The person hasn't left yet, but the sound has arrived first, like an oriole coming out of a valley.

On both sides of the elevator stood beautiful girls in professional suits, with smooth hair and high heels, each of them was over 170cm tall.

The young lady had a professional smile on her face, bending down to greet us, making us feel at home.
All the taxi drivers were stunned and couldn't move.
This kind of scene and this kind of treatment were something they had never encountered even in a bath center.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, let alone a polite and sweet-looking girl.
The overwhelming arrogance of the crowd was stagnant.
Wang Weijian nodded secretly when he saw this scene. He thought that the boss was very experienced and the two car models were not hired in vain.

Leading everyone into the company, the front desk and the two receptionists began to ask everyone about their well-being. The taxi drivers had never experienced such treatment before, and they were all at a loss and not used to it.

Wang Weijian and several of their representatives went into the conference room for a meeting.

After the door was closed, the five representatives who had ignored the distractions came to their senses and began to ask questions, each of them having several mouths.

Wang Weijian quickly stretched out his hand to signal, "Don't worry, everyone, speak one by one. Since I am here in person, I want to solve your problems! We have plenty of time~~~"

Just as the other party was about to speak, Wang Weijian clapped his hands and said to the outside, "Look at the tea~"

Then the two young ladies started serving tea to everyone.
The five representatives of the other side once again called off the battle intermittently.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

The emotion is impulsive, but it comes and goes quickly. It seems that the other person's emotions have stabilized.

Wang Weijianfang spoke slowly, "Everyone, since you have mobilized so many people, why don't you tell us your demands? Who is the leader? Let's talk first~"

After the other party finished speaking, Wang Weijian took several printed documents from his assistant.
".I think what you said is very right. In fact, we also think that the previous profit-sharing method is inappropriate. Therefore, we have drafted a new cooperation plan for the purpose of mutual benefit and win-win cooperation. You may wish to read it first and then we can communicate."

Several taxi drivers looked suspicious. They always felt as if something was not right, but they couldn't figure it out.

The next moment, when they saw the content of the new cooperation plan, they looked at each other and saw the passion in each other's eyes.

Then Wang Weijian was talking, and they were listening, nodding their heads.
Finally, Wang Weijian took out a calculator, did some calculations, and finally wrote some numbers on the whiteboard.

After watching the video, the representatives of these taxi companies communicated with their respective bosses.

Before leaving, he signed the new cooperation plan with a smile on his face.

The two sides shook hands in a friendly manner and reached an agreement.

It was midsummer and the sun was shining brightly.

The reporters downstairs were just arguing and didn't really fight. It was too tiring in such a hot day.

However, as time passed, these media reporters became more and more tortured, but they did not dare to hide aside to enjoy the coolness. If the other party came out and they failed to seize the advantageous position and missed the hot events, they would regret it.

Now the police downstairs didn't come, but many traffic police were there to maintain traffic order. There was nothing we could do, the streets on both sides of the building were full of taxis.
"Why haven't you come out yet? You've been in there for two hours."

"I don't know what happened inside. I didn't expect the security in Soho to be so responsible. I just tried to disguise myself as an employee but was discovered. It's only a few thousand dollars a month, why are you so serious about it?"

"It's almost noon and there's still no movement. Could it be that the drivers were left inside to eat? Then we have to wait."

"I heard from my colleagues that this time it's not just in Beijing, taxi drivers in other places are also quarreling."

"Then the public opinion will explode. So many drivers are upset and have expressed their demands~~~"

"Let's not talk about other places, just here, if the negotiation fails, a fight will break out, that would be terrible. But I haven't seen any police cars show up yet, so I'm a little worried."

"I have already written the draft, and I am just waiting for the people inside to come out and verify it."

"Fuck, do you have to work so hard?"

Just as the media reporters were being roasted crispy on the outside and tender on the inside under the scorching sun.

I don't know who yelled, "Hey hey~ It's coming out~"

This group of people seemed to be electrified. When they saw the target group appear, they immediately rushed over.

"Excuse me, what did you talk about in there?"

"Is Taxi Travel owing you wages? Do you have any other banners to display?"

"If we don't cooperate with taxi travel in the future, what are your plans next?"

"I heard that someone took action inside. Is that true?"

When the driver heard what kind of stupid questions these media were asking, the anger that had been dormant just now was ignited.

"Don't talk nonsense, what about unpaid wages, what about banners, you must have been dazzled before."

"That's not true at all. How can you reporters just spread rumors? I can beat you up, but I can't beat our partners."

"Tadi Chuxing is a conscientious company, please stop reporting nonsense!"

"Bullshit, we were having a great time. If you keep saying that, I'll beat you, you know that?"

One of the burly drivers was about to fight, but was stopped by the leader next to him. The leader spoke on behalf of the drivers.

"We came here to communicate with Didi Chuxing on some issues. We are very satisfied with the results of the communication. We have reached a consensus on sincere cooperation. We will continue to cooperate with Didi Chuxing to provide convenient transportation services for the general public in Beijing.
Thank you for your concern~~~ I have no other comments, please make way~"

Then the leader led the masters back to their cars and left.

All the media were immediately stunned when they heard an answer that was completely opposite to what they expected.

Two hours ago, this group of people went in with the intention of confiscating property, but after coming out they were like little lambs, each one more docile than the other, and even spoke good words for the other party. What kind of magic potion did they feed to make this trip?

This is equivalent to a couple who are about to divorce and are told that they are in a cooling-off period. As a result, after this period of time, the couple not only do not divorce, but instead discuss where to go for their honeymoon.
What on earth happened during that period of time just now?
However, even if the other party defends taxi travel so much, you can still write a few short essays based on their answers.

For example, "Angry taxi drivers in Beijing, fighting downstairs of the taxi travel headquarters", "Who owes the taxi drivers their hard-earned money?", "Some taxi driver representatives came out without saying a word, with solemn expressions".
There were even a few reporters who refused to give up and wanted to follow these drivers and hail a taxi directly in order to pry some words out of them.

But before they could finish their journey, another person walked out of the building.

"Everyone, since you are here, it must be very tiring, why not come in and have a cup of tea before leaving~"

Everyone looked at the person, isn't this Chen Tong? Why is he here? Then they realized, damn, the president who took the taxi was him.

The people present were basically the vanguards of various media outlets. Compared with Chen Tong, the gap between them in terms of status and position was huge.

What’s more important is that the other party was an absolute senior in the industry, the kind who could sit and discuss ideas with the editor-in-chief.

They were all as obedient as mice seeing a cat.

When everyone went in and looked at the red envelopes on the table, they felt that this job was going to be tough.

Well~all my work was in vain.

The crisis in Beijing was resolved, and the travel branches in other cities, under the strategy of one appeasement, two winning over, and three mopping up formulated by Chen Mo, as well as deliberate and advance preparations, were able to turn danger into safety and eliminate the crisis invisibly.

Just because Dadi Chuxing is fine doesn’t mean that the other two competitors who rushed into the battle will be able to get through smoothly.

That evening, some online media exposed the news that taxi drivers gathered downstairs of Kuaidi and Didi's regional companies to make demands.

There are also pictures of police cars and ambulances in these news, which has attracted the attention of countless netizens.
If something goes wrong during the fight, Ma and Ma would rather hurt the enemy by a thousand and lose eight hundred of their own than not add fuel to the fire.

But now the other party is fine, but my own brother is in trouble, so I have to do everything I can to get back on track.

Afterwards, these news seemed to be short-lived and disappeared inexplicably on many platforms.

As for the Bi'an platform, according to the boss's opinion, this matter should not be made a big deal. Although the post was not deleted, the popularity of the post was deliberately suppressed.

Of course, other traditional media will not report these things, or they will not let everyone see them. Now, the scene of seeing them first and then disappearing makes the majority of netizens feel like a badger that can't eat melons, itching to eat them. This kind of play is like adding fuel to the fire. Everyone takes action, the more they delete and block, the more enthusiastic they are about spreading and discussing, and the greater the degree of
The Ministry of Transport is currently discussing the incident that is currently being hotly debated online.

".Given the current situation, leader, I think we should try to push forward the temporary plan that we have decided on before."

".Some things develop too fast or too little. Just like the important instructions conveyed by the two sessions, we must focus on promoting sustained and healthy economic development, accelerate the transformation of economic development mode as the main line, strengthen innovation-driven development, but also do not forget to implement the general tone of work of seeking progress while maintaining stability.
This is what I have been emphasizing to everyone in previous meetings.”

"Understood. I'll arrange it then!"

"Oh, by the way, you just said that there was a ride-hailing company whose driver didn't make trouble? Which one was it?"

"Taxi travel, behind it is the Bi'an Technology Group"

"The other side. Is that Chen Mo's?"

"Leader, do you also know Chen Mo?"

".I have heard of it."

Although the Ministry of Transport and the China Railway Corporation belong to the same transportation department, they have parallel structures. This senior leader had heard of this person's name several times before when he attended meetings with sister departments and listened to lectures by think tanks, so he had some impression of him.

After coming to his senses, the leader made the final decision, "Let's talk to other departments about this matter and move forward according to the process. As for taking a taxi, Chen Mo is a sensible person and should have this awareness!"

"Understood, I'll do it right away!"

Public opinion was fermenting, and a week later, in late July, a document was issued.

On July 7, the Ministry of Transport took the lead and jointly issued the "Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Taxi Booking Services" (for trial implementation) with six other ministries.

"These measures are formulated in accordance with relevant national laws and administrative regulations to better meet the diverse travel needs of the public, promote the integrated development of the taxi industry and the Internet, standardize the operation and service of online taxi booking, and ensure operational safety and the legitimate rights and interests of passengers."

The measures consist of 40 articles and several detailed rules.

It even made the evening news, but of course it was just a passing mention: "The Ministry of Transport will work with relevant departments to conduct a centralized rectification of illegal and irregular behaviors of online ride-hailing vehicles through the Interim Measures and related laws and regulations."

Once the report came out, it was equivalent to putting an emergency brake on the development of online ride-hailing in China.

The taxi war that has been hyped by the media has been poured with a bucket of cold water.
In this hot summer, the online car-hailing industry suddenly entered a cold winter, returning to the pre-liberation era
In the era of global interconnection, news only travels overnight and then travels across the ocean to the other side.

When the Chinese taxi war started, Uber, the originator of online taxi-hailing software, had long been eyeing the Chinese market and waiting for an opportunity.

In addition to monopolizing the local taxi market in the United States, Uber entered Europe last year and received a very good market response in London, UK.

It entered Asia at the beginning of this year and landed in Singapore, hoping to use this as a springboard to achieve greater success.

Uber is now like a shark that smells blood. Having tasted the sweetness in Singapore, it is swimming around China, waiting for the best time to enter China.

As a result, after waiting for a long time, the opponent fired a map cannon, saying "Don't enter if you are a raw fish."

Sorry, I slipped away.
Uber came from the other side of the ocean, intending to go west to seek the truth, but when he saw that the situation was not good, he turned around, said he would definitely come back next time, and then went back home in shame.

boom!
Xiao Ma Ge rarely slapped the mahogany desk. His palms were red, but he felt no pain at all despite his rage, and his face was gloomy and uncertain.

This made Cheng Wei in front of him dare not even breathe. Although he thought he had tried his best to resolve the conflicts and differences and had seen some results, there were still some areas where problems broke out and the impact was quite bad. Now there were still several employees staying in there because of the fight.

Perhaps it was a conditioned reflex. Xiao Ma Ge's first reaction was that all this was Chen Mo's doing. This madman actually brought down the authorities. Isn't he afraid that he won't have a good end?
Then reason took over again, and he knew that it couldn't be him this time, because this trick would do him no good but rather harm, unless Chen Mo was really crazy!
Judging from the current situation, Bi'an has a slight advantage, and in terms of handling public opinion, Bi'an is also the one that handles it most perfectly.

With the release of this document, the call to stop has become a shield for their side, which is beneficial to their side. The one who is most uncomfortable now is not themselves but the other party, so they will not shoot themselves in the foot.

This time, Cheng Wei came because he realized the seriousness of the matter after seeing the news. He immediately flew to Shenzhen to seek help from Xiao Ma Ge.

In terms of resources and information channels, the two sides are not on the same level at all. In terms of experience in dealing with such incidents, the other party is a seasoned senior, and he is no match for him.

After waiting for a while, he spoke cautiously, "Mr. Ma, what should Didi do next? I want to hear your opinion~"

Xiao Ma Ge snorted coldly, "Now you know to listen to my advice?" He still remembered that this kid was very arrogant in the past.

"Mr. Ma, from now on, if you point the east, Didi will definitely not go west. This time, please give me some advice!" Cheng Weiyi gritted his teeth and quickly expressed his opinion.

There is no way. Now drivers are making trouble, business is facing suspension due to regulatory pressure, and internal employees are in panic.

Didi is facing internal and external difficulties at the moment, and it is a matter of life and death. What does it matter whether it is face or reputation? The only thing that comforts it is that at least now it does not have to worry about which side will be the main force in taxi travel.

After all, Didi is also a younger brother of our company, and we cannot just leave it alone and let it fend for itself. Pony Ma looked at the fat man opposite, thought about it, and gave his own advice.
“Generally, when policies are introduced, they are implemented according to the regulations. As long as they don’t run into problems, everything will be fine.

But this incident has caused such a big stir that the higher-ups will definitely want to catch typical examples. No matter whether we are fast or hard-working, we will all be targeted by them. Then it will depend on who has made fewer mistakes and who lives a better life.

Even though it's just a trial, anyone who really wants to try it will be regarded as the first to do so.

This pilot measure is a scale floating above the online car-hailing market. Some things, once put on the scale, can weigh a thousand pounds.

The most urgent task now is to stop harboring any luck and quickly make improvements to the newly promulgated regulations one by one. I remember that you have taken advantage of many loopholes in order to grab market share before.

This time, the higher-ups are sending seven swordsmen down from Tianshan Mountain. It looks like a talk is inevitable. As for rectification, it depends on whether you move faster or the higher-ups move faster. You are now racing against time."

Although Xiao Ma Ge's office had the air conditioner on, Fatty Cheng was sweating profusely as he listened.
However, there was still one thing that Cheng Wei was puzzled about, and that was Mr. Ma's phone call that morning. How did he know about the trouble when he was so far away? And judging from the response of the taxi driver afterwards, no one would believe that he had not been prepared in advance.

Behind the other party stood Bi'an, who had a national-level chat software WeChat, so he made a bold and reasonable guess.

When he finished speaking about this idea, he said, "Mr. Ma, do you think you can do something about this?"

Xiao Ma Ge didn't answer immediately, "You don't use WeChat?"

“We all use WeChat.”

"That's all, anything else?"

Seeing that Xiao Ma Ge did not hold on to him as Cheng Wei had expected, he immediately understood that knowing about this kind of thing was one thing, but there was really no evidence, and this place was not necessarily clean.

But Cheng Wei had another idea, "Before I came here, I had an idea and wanted to ask you to give it some advice to see if it would work."

"Tell me."

“You see, the cause of this incident is the uneven distribution of benefits among drivers. That’s why nothing happened in Hefei, Nanjing, Chengdu and Chongqing. It’s because they can make money through online car-hailing. So I think if we all unite, we can each take a step back and give benefits to the drivers.

At the same time, we should promote the extra income that drivers in those cities get from online ride-hailing. We are not worried about the lack of income, but the uneven distribution of income. The opportunity to double the income has been banned. It is not just us who are most anxious, but also them. This will also speed up the progress of some things. Maybe the lifting of the ban is still unknown.
The faster the ally, the easier it is to say that this is the reason why we fought. So I thought, look, can you talk to Chen?"

"No, you don't want to!" Knowing what the other party wanted to say, Xiao Ma Ge immediately cast a spell to interrupt him, expressing his extremely firm position.

Whether it was the WeChat chat monitoring or the binding of the driver's interests, I didn't expect that this fat man had many unconventional means, and he was really brave.
Cheng Wei's words made Xiao Ma Ge look at the other person seriously for the first time, as if he was meeting him for the first time.

Afterwards, Xiao Ma Ge did not completely refuse, but just left a sentence, "You figure it out yourself."

"Uh-oh!"

That night, Cheng Wei took the last flight back to Shanghai.

the next day.

When the employees at Didi headquarters saw their boss appear, they all looked over and stood up at the same time, then gathered around him.
These people blocked their boss in the hallway and asked him about the company's current situation. In fact, they would never dare to do this on normal days.

But first a large group of drivers came to the headquarters to make trouble, shouting that they owed money and had to pay it back. Although the leader later denied the rumor, now even dogs don't believe in the rumor.

After these employees communicated privately, they increasingly felt that something was not right with the company. Why were travel expenses and some allowances for business trips not being paid yet?
These days they have been nervous every time they go to work, fearing that they will die while working.

Moreover, the boss did not show up in the company for several days after that day and disappeared.

As a result, after waiting for a long time, the boss didn’t come, but the latest industry policy was announced. This time, the sky fell.

There are rumors online that the online car-hailing company is going bankrupt and the boss is running away with his sister-in-law and the money.
Now that they saw the boss's true identity, they acted like catching a thief. They immediately surrounded him and asked what happened, fearing that he would run away.

"Will the boss's company go bankrupt?"

"What solutions does the company have next?"

“Will our social security payments stop this month?”

"If the company is going to close down, please inform us in advance so that we can find jobs in advance. Don't cheat us!"

Cheng Wei, who had just been chased and blocked by drivers two days ago, was now cornered by his own employees, which made him very sad and angry.

What the hell did I do to offend anyone? Does my boss deserve to die?
Cheng Wei raised his hands and signaled repeatedly, shouting, "Everyone, be quiet, be patient, and listen to me."
