After rebirth, I want to destroy my original family

After the ceremony, the wedding banquet officially began. Yuan Youqin and Gu Zhenghong were so moved that their eyes filled with tears. My aunt's eyes also turned red. The atmosphere at the scene became warmer, and blessings were heard everywhere.

The photos of the scene were also spread to various places as they were shared on Moments, Space and Weibo.

The reporters who had been waiting in the banquet hall also followed the sound and came to the backstage of the wedding banquet. They had been waiting since the ceremony began, and finally found a chance and surrounded Gu Ming to start the interview.

"Mr. Gu, how are you feeling today?"

"Happiness, pleasure."

"Based on the layout of Pintuan in 2013 and what you just said at the wedding, do you intend to focus on your life? Because there are rumors outside that Mrs. Gu is pregnant?"

Gu Ming pursed his lips and said: "I hope to balance work and family. If there is a suitable project, Pintuan will be willing to try it."

At this time, a girl in the group of reporters stood on tiptoe and handed over the microphone: "Mr. Gu, what do you think of the current taxi market?"

"The competition is fierce and has far exceeded the original scale of group buying and takeout."

"Then Mr. Gu, are you interested in this market? After you get married to Mrs. Gu and have your energy back, will you take any action in the taxi market?"

Gu Ming faced the camera and said, "That depends on what my wife thinks."

The female reporter couldn't help laughing and continued to ask: "Mr. Gu is the CEO who is best at Internet business wars and has won many large-scale business wars. So which platform do you think is better?"

"Not sure, but it definitely won't be Uber."

"Thank you Mr. Jiang."

Gu Ming nodded and arranged for someone to distribute wedding candy to the reporters. Then he saw Liu Shuran walking over with a middle-aged man in a blue plaid shirt.

Seeing this scene, Gu Ming immediately came forward and said, "Director Liu, thank you for taking the time to attend my wedding. It's such an honor."

"Mr. Gu is too polite. To be honest, we don't have much in common. I was quite surprised that you could ask Manager Liu to go to Jinan to invite me personally."

"That's it, Director Liu. I'm inviting you here this time. In addition to attending the wedding banquet, I also have something to ask you for help. Let's find a place to talk?"

"Okay, Mr. Gu, please lead the way."

Gu Ming stretched out his hand, made a gesture of invitation, and took Director Liu to the next room.

Zhao Jing was busy seeing off guests at this time. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but walked up to Liu Shuran and asked, "Who is that person?"

"The director of the Jinan Transportation Bureau."

After a long time, Gu Ming and Director Liu left the reception room. At this time, Director Liu had a joint development plan in his hand. He said goodbye to Gu Ming and looked through the plan, frowning deeply.

He was a little hesitant when he heard what Gu Ming said just now. After reading the entire plan, his hesitation increased instead of decreasing.

But before he could think it over, he was called over by a senior leader of Jinan City for a drink, and the plan was also taken over.

"Gu Ming wants us to give him a green light, but this matter... is a bit dangerous."

"The teacher said before the transfer that if there is a chance to keep Gu Ming, we must keep him. Go ahead. I will be responsible if anything goes wrong. And if this thing is done, it will also be helpful to our work."

"Okay, then I'll go back tonight and discuss it with the people in the bureau and draft a red-headed document."

It took Gu Ming half a month to prepare for the wedding, and during this half month, the taxi market changed dramatically.

As Uber increased its capital investment, the battle became more and more fierce. In the end, Bumblebee failed to hold on and finally chose to merge with Kuaishou.

Because Bumblebee itself has the least funds among the three companies, when Bibi and Kuaidi were fighting each other, it still had a chance to take advantage of the situation by using guerrilla warfare, but under the capital suppression of Uber, it had no chance at all.

During the wedding days, Uber and ByteDance teamed up to advertise everywhere, causing Bibi's market share to shrink severely, and the entire team was extremely anxious.

The most critical thing is that because of Uber's high subsidies, drivers have flocked to this foreign platform, causing the vehicle response speeds of Beep and Kuaidi to seriously slow down.

All kinds of bad comments are also coming in one after another.

In order to curb this situation, Bibi designed a pop-up window in the background. Once it detects that the mobile phone is connected to Uber, a prompt "Do you want to uninstall Uber" will pop up.

But the end result was that Bibi found that its daily active users began to plummet, so it quickly stopped.

Kuaishou came up with a better idea, which was to publicly report Travis's remarks on the Internet through domestic online platforms.

"Chinese people are the most vain."

"Chinese companies are just babies that never grow up."

"It's easiest to make money from Chinese people."

When these remarks were exposed, they indeed caused a fierce resistance from the general public, and Uber was immediately criticized online.

This is a basic link in business war, the war of public opinion.

But then, Chen Chuanxing discovered that Uber’s business volume had not decreased as a result.

You should be scolded online, but in reality, people who need to take a taxi will still use it.

At this time, Uber's market share has reached 6 percent, while Bibi and Kuaidi combined have less than 4 percent.

Cheng Wei was so anxious that he wanted to curse, but at this time he received a call from Travis, inviting him to a business meeting.

The market was lost, but the aura should not be timid, so Cheng Wei came as promised and met the founder of Uber who had beaten him to defeat.

"Mr. G, market competition cannot be separated from capital. In the Internet war, only those who can come up with more capital can win. This is a truth."

"In this case, it is impossible for Beep to defeat Uber. I think you and I are both aware of this fact."

"You have tried various methods over the past few days, but nothing has been achieved, right?"

"You exposed my comments on Facebook through the media, thinking that this would affect Uber's business, but what was the result?"

"My evaluation of Chinese consumers is not wrong. They don't care what I say. Even if I belittle them, they will still stay because of the discounts I offer."

"But Mr. G, how much money does Bibi have? If you keep burning through it like this, you might end up with nothing. So during this meeting, I want to propose a win-win proposal for both parties."

"I am willing to acquire 6% of Bibi's shares and merge the businesses."

"Mr. G, think about it carefully. This is very tempting, but if you don't agree, we will increase our investment in the Beijing market, and you will really lose everything."

Travis looked at him, his tone full of threats.

The money spent to acquire the equity of Bibi is far less than the money-burning war in the market, the results will be more, and the development speed will be faster.

Travis hopes to end his dominance and unify the market as soon as possible and shift to a profit model.

To put it bluntly, even international companies are a little trembling with such a huge amount of money being burned. They want to quickly unify the industry, merge their companies, and then raise taxi fares, lower driver commissions, and reap the market.

The industry ecology of the Internet is like this. If you are the only choice in the market, then you will be the one who sets the price.

What kind of early discounts are just bait for cutting leeks.

And when I met with Kuaidi CEO Chen Chuanxing later, he said the same thing.

Travis fully demonstrated what prejudice and arrogance are. Although he said he was doing it for your own good, his actual meaning was very clear, surrender or die.

The way he looked at Chen Chuanxing was as if he was looking at a country bumpkin, and the tone he used when talking about acquiring shares was as if he was giving alms to a beggar.

And this foreigner's evaluation of Chinese consumers has not changed: hypocritical, and likes to take advantage. He really is thinking about making money here on the one hand, while slandering and insulting them on the other.

After the business meeting, the content was passed on to all directions.

Many people were stunned after hearing this and didn't understand how this ghost guy could be so arrogant.

But more people feel helpless because the market will not change because of this. Uber has indeed stepped into the threshold of victory, and Bibi and Kuaidi are powerless to fight back.

You can't fight again and again, and it's useless to be angry. This feeling makes people feel angry, but they are really useless.

"You can't win by fighting hard. In fact, Travis is right in saying that if you continue to burn, it will do no good to anyone."

"If this continues, the taxi-hailing industry will be monopolized by foreign companies."

"Mr. Cheng, don't listen to that Travis' nonsense, fuck him!"

Cheng Wei scrolled through the messages on his phone and couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at the group of people who were watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.

If he doesn't have as much money as others and his skills are not as good as others, what can he do with him?

At this time, Tencent's investment manager Peng Sheng also called and asked Cheng Wei if he wanted to go down. If so, he could make another investment.

But everyone knows that the amount Tencent can come up with will never be enough to determine the outcome of the battle. They may be able to have a battle of attrition with Uber, but that will only make it more difficult for Uber to win.

If the key to breaking the situation does not emerge, Uber will achieve a key victory in 14, and other taxi-hailing software will die one after another.

Cheng Wei felt as if he was trapped in an endless darkness, and he had the idea of ​​giving up.

Night fell quickly, and Cheng Wei didn't even return home. He sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, struggling repeatedly.

At this moment, the LED advertising screen opposite the office building suddenly flashed, which caught his attention. He walked a little closer and found that the LED that originally read "Group buying" suddenly changed to "Didi Taxi, efficient reservation, high-quality service, one-click travel".

Cheng Wei was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes, and leaned his whole face against the window, then he heard a series of prompt sounds behind him.

"What a fool! Teamfighting and Gao De are going to join forces and end it!"

"The dog is coming, the dog is coming!"

"Why so suddenly?"

"The wedding is almost over, can you spare some time to do it?"

"No, it's already the second half, and Travis is about to pop the champagne. It's not wise to join a team at this time. Does he want to start from scratch? How could Uber give him a chance?"

"Even if Gu Ming is a god, there is no way he can win at this time..."

Everyone was in a daze when they looked at the headline news tonight.

Yes, this is already the second half of the ride-hailing circuit.

If Bibi and Kuaidi agree to merge into Uber, Uber will quickly sink and flourish in a territory without rivals.

If they don't agree, Uber will increase investment, quickly end the battle, and end the group fight at this time, completely ignoring basic business logic.

But Cheng Wei felt differently from them, not because of anything else, but because of the name Didi.

When he first planned to develop a taxi-hailing app, he wanted this name the most. However, after checking, he found that the name had been registered half a year ago, and he couldn't find anyone to buy it.

In other words, did Gu Ming already have this idea half a year before he wanted to develop a taxi-hailing app?

If this is the case, then he must have thought very carefully before deciding to end the game, but Cheng Wei had no idea how a team could withstand Uber's attack.
