Chapter 962: The project of Haijing Travel is finalized
"I plan to let you, Director Su, take charge of this project."
In fact, the business of the fifth business line is relatively large.
If this important business is added, my guess is that her status will be close to the second career line, or even surpass Hu Lijuan's second career line.
In a way, Jiang Hao should prevent such things from happening now and not let a certain career line expand too quickly.
But who can blame Su Qingqing for being a natural fit for this project?
For this, we can only develop the business first and then consider the internal business restructuring in the future.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm fine!"
“Why do we suddenly want to start the taxi-hailing business?”
"I think given the current size of the company, if it is just to expand in this industry, it would be more appropriate to invest directly in Didi, right?"
Su Qingqing's first reaction was to think from the perspective of the company's overall development.
Of course, since he didn’t know much about the details of the red envelope war involving Haijing Payment, his thinking was different from Jiang Hao’s.
“Didi is not suitable. Their current valuation is too high and they don’t see the prospect of going public.”
"Also, Alibaba and Tencent will probably hinder our Haijing's financing, and the cost will be high."
Didi was not an alternative option for Jiang Hao from the very beginning.
In the red envelope war, rejecting the red envelopes paid by Haijing is one of the reasons, but not the main reason.
The main reason is that the investment and returns are not proportional.
Didi’s current valuation is as high as 600 billion yuan.
Haijing Technology wants to have a say in this, but the cost is too high.
Just 5% of the shares would cost 30 billion Euros, which is really unnecessary.
Not to mention that Didi has gone through more than a dozen rounds of financing, and its internal equity is in chaos.
It has been in a loss-making state and is unable to go public, nor does it see any hope of going public.
From a purely strategic perspective, this deal is not a good deal.
If Alibaba and Tencent were to raise the price as shareholders, this investment behavior would be even more foolish.
It would be better to just do the same as Haijing Payment and get started directly.
We don’t expect to defeat Didi, but as long as we can occupy a certain market share, the input and output here will be cost-effective enough.
"Manager He, can you please contact Uber for me recently to see if any of its shareholders have transferred their shares or if they would accept financing from Haijing."
Since Didi was not suitable, Jiang Hao set his sights on Uber.
The global car rental giant that just went public at the beginning of this year.
The company's market value at the beginning of its listing was approximately 750 billion euros. Now, due to huge losses for two consecutive quarters, the company's total market value is only around 470 billion euros.
In comparison, since it is based on layout considerations, Jiang Hao prefers Uber.
If Haijing Travel can be promoted and gain a foothold in the country in the future, he does not plan to try to acquire Uber in the future and directly open up the global travel business at one time.
"No problem, Mr. Jiang!"
"Uber's stock price has fallen sharply recently, and many shareholders must be wavering."
“However, judging from the current profitability, there is a high probability that it will continue to decline. Do we need to wait and see for a while or start immediately?”
He Wenhao knew that this was a strategic investment for the company and had different significance.
I don't mean to stop you from trying to persuade them, but Uber's current situation is indeed worrying and it is not a wise investment option.
Like Didi, the overall business is in a loss-making state.
"Go and contact them first. There's no need to rush. Just pick a time that's as appropriate as possible to take over."
"The goal is to acquire 10% of the equity within a year, and 3% to 5% in the early stage is also fine."
“You can tell them that if it’s a strategic investment, the Whale platform can be linked to Uber’s services.”
"If the other party is interested, you can increase the financing price."
...
After simply arranging He Wenhao's work, Jiang Hao now talked to Su Qingqing again about the Haijing Travel project.
"For this project, you should first have someone set up the software business."
“For specific business deployment, I will arrange it on the Haijing platform, Haijing Payment and other channels.”
“For the first batch of businesses, you can consider providing vehicles on our platform.”
"I will help you negotiate the matter of the car, mainly focusing on purchasing the electric car."
...
Jiang Hao actually had some contingency plans in mind for the Haijing trip, and he told Su Qingqing everything at once.
His ideas may not be correct or reliable. It all depends on Su Qingqing's own consideration.
However, he will help with the use of cars and support for the first batch of drivers.
He is planning to cooperate with Xiaopeng Motors for the initial batch of business in several first-tier cities, including Songjiang City.
Let’s see if we can come up with a cooperative car model for Haijing Travel drivers to choose from.
As for batteries, they can also be provided by the latest generation of Kirin batteries first.
The cost price of this cooperative vehicle model can be kept very low, and its operation cost will be much lower than that of a gasoline vehicle.
In this era when Didi's mainstream business is still gasoline-powered cars, Haijing's main focus on electric cars still has a certain degree of competitiveness.
"Boss Jiang, I have a general idea of the project."
"But are you planning to do this project by Haijing itself? Or are you considering independent financing?"
"I personally suggest that you set up an independent subsidiary."
"If the source vehicles are borne by our company or in cooperation with the drivers, the cost is actually quite high."
Even if Jiang Hao could get the price of a tram down to 10 yuan, and even if 10 trams were initially deployed and distributed across major cities across the country, the cost of the trams alone would be billion yuan.
This is still the most ideal situation, the actual cost is naturally more than this.
There are also a lot of hidden costs, but of course these are secondary to Haijing Technology.
Payment can be provided by Haijing Payment, and promotion can be carried out through the Haijing platform. It can be said that based on so much accumulation, it will be quite convenient for Jiang Hao to start other businesses.
After some hesitation, he considered the construction cost of Songjiang New City and the acquisition of Uber.
Jiang Hao finally nodded and agreed to Su Qingqing's plan.
The entire business of Haijing Travel will be operated as a subsidiary.
At the same time, he continued to set his sights on Mr. He of Xiaopeng Motors to see if he could get him to join the investment.
"I will approve this project at the board meeting next week. How much funding do you need in the initial stage?"
...
"For the software alone, it won't cost much, probably one or two million would be enough."
"However, the operating costs, including the invitation and promotion of the first batch of drivers, as well as the first batch of users, may be relatively high."
"I estimate that if we are conservative in the initial stage, 3000 million will still be needed."
...
"Okay! The funds will be as you said."
"This project should be started as soon as possible, please pay more attention to it."
