Chapter 2445 Sweeping the United States

There is a storm about vehicles in Rongcheng, and there is also such a storm in the distant United States, which is spreading rapidly.

Good things are always found.

Good ideas will eventually shine through.

Uber, a software that can sweep the world as long as it is given a living space, quickly swept the entire San Francisco under various promotions.

Within a week, Uber has been downloaded more than 600,000 times and used more than 1.5 million times. More than 70% of San Francisco residents have used Uber, and more than 60% have used Uber for the second time.

Seeing such an enthusiastic response from Uber, CEO Libert immediately changed his strategy. On the fourth day of Uber’s launch, Uber’s advertisements were all over California.

In return to Libert, in the next 7 days, Uber’s downloads exceeded 7.6 million times and its usage exceeded 53 million times.

Especially in Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States, more than 80% of young people and business people praise Uber. Many people don’t even drive their own cars, and take Uber’s car to get off work directly.

Such success greatly gave Libote and his staff confidence.

On the one hand, Liebert further improved and standardized Uber's terms of use and system, on the other hand, he increased advertising investment, as well as various subsidies for drivers and passengers.

APP STORE, Android store, including in various print media, TV media and paper media, for a time, Uber's reputation is very famous.

Uber’s various good reputations, such as convenience, speed, comfort, cheapness, safety, etc., all gradually spread out along with these advertisements and word of mouth.

It may not be so obvious in small cities, but in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Boston... and other super-large and large cities, Uber is like a spark, and in just one month, countless Americans flock to it. Competing to experience and enjoy Uber's services.

The taxi industry in every country is full of bitterness.

Even countries like Japan. There are even taxi drivers who dare to refuse a ride, let alone American taxi drivers who are always stupid.

Rudeness, bad attitude, intentional detours... and other bad habits, they have everything you can think of anyway.

Therefore, many people feel that taking a taxi in the United States is not a kind of enjoyment, but a kind of torture.

If it weren't for the fact that Americans can't do without cars, and private car rentals are too expensive and inconvenient, I'm afraid many people would refuse taxis at all.

it's good now. Uber is here.

It is not a taxi, nor is it a special rental car, but it just combines the advantages of these two industries and appears in front of everyone with a brand-new attitude.

The price of Uber is only half of that of a taxi, but the service attitude is more than twice that of theirs.

Uber arrives very quickly. Basically, as long as it is not too remote in the city, an Uber vehicle will arrive in front of the user within 3 minutes.

Uber is more suitable for some travel and business activities, as long as you make an appointment, then basically you get off from the airport or the bus. You can sit in your exclusive vehicle and go to your destination leisurely.

Uber's payment method is also very convenient, as long as you have Internet access. Payment can be made through Uber's terminal, and there is no need to pay cash during the period. This is very convenient for Americans who are accustomed to using credit cards for everything.

Uber’s vehicles are very clean and hygienic, and free mineral water is provided. If you have any dissatisfaction with the driver and the vehicle, you can file a complaint. Uber takes complaints very seriously. As long as you confirm that your complaint is true, Then not only the driver will be severely punished,

Take an Uber. The safety factor is also high, because Uber will strictly review the qualifications of drivers. And all vehicles are equipped with surveillance cameras. Once any accident occurs, it will be dealt with immediately. If the surveillance connection is disconnected, it will be reported to the police as soon as possible. This will not only ensure the safety of passengers, but also the drivers. It is also a guarantee.

Tell me, with so many benefits, as long as you are not a fool, you will abandon car rental companies and taxis and use Uber, right?

In fact, the American people do the same.

Otherwise, it is impossible for Uber to be downloaded by more than 138 million people in the United States in just one month, and the total number of times of use exceeds 834.2 million.

This is also because Uber only developed in San Francisco and California in the previous two weeks.

Judging from this value, Uber has already conquered the people of the United States and achieved a new myth.

Actually it is.

During this period of time, whether it is Wall Street, Silicon Valley, or ordinary people, the most talked about is this Uber that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Inadvertently, it has become a part of American life. When people want to use a car, they are used to turning on their mobile phones and opening the Uber software to enjoy Uber services at the fastest speed.

Ok.

In fact, it is completely incorrect to say that Uber "came out of nowhere".

In all of Uber’s advertisements, there is the slogan “Created by Mr. Xiao Qi, President of Fairy Company”, which shows that this is another whimsical idea of ​​Xiao Qi.

Someone said before that Xiao Qi was just lucky, and created the Dream Pad and APP STORE by accident. Otherwise, if it came out half a year later, Apple's smartphone would also be released, and it would have nothing to do with him.

But Dream Stars, Next Labs, Dream Snow, Dream Drive, Airbnb, Cool Game, Squaer, Meitu Sharing and other companies came out one by one, which really made everyone dumbfounded. The presence of genius.

The media likes to fan the flames the most. They saw that Xiao Qi is so smart, and Xiao Qi is the richest man in the world. Of course, they are happy to hype, saying that Xiao Qi can be compared with Edison, Einstein and other giants A genius, so in Europe and America, Xiao Qi's fans are no less than those in China.

It is precisely because everyone has a preconceived idea, so now that Uber comes out under such a banner, everyone is interested to see what it is.

A lot of good software and ideas are actually short of a chance to make them famous.

Xiao Qi's name gave Uber such an opportunity.

Such an excellent Uber itself, after Xiao Qi’s various improvements and monitoring for future emergencies, once it is used by people, it will naturally perceive its benefits, and then spread to the relatives and friends of these users.

The car rental and taxi industries in the United States were immediately stunned.

The car rental industry is better. People who travel long and short distances have not changed their habits much. After all, Uber is better at short-distance pick-up and drop-off.

But the taxi industry is different. Uber is completely robbing them of their food. Relying on the fact that they don’t have to pay expensive fees, top fees, and insurance taxes, Uber relies on its low-price policy to directly sell taxis. Clients were stolen.

In the city of New York, even in one day, the taxi business as a whole fell by 39%.

This is just a short time since Uber arrived in New York. If it continues to develop like this, it is not impossible to occupy 70% to 80%!

What's so great about this?

So the taxi industry and the insurance industry immediately appealed, demanding that Uber's operations be banned, otherwise they would go on strike.

Americans are most afraid of chaos. On the one hand, a company founded by the richest man in the world, and on the other hand, a transportation industry group in the United States. They hope that the two sides will fight, so that there will be more news to report. Only then can more manuscript fees be taken.

So the government and the court haven't said anything yet. The newspapers, magazines, and news media here have invited lawyers, congressmen, public figures, and ordinary people who support both sides to hold various discussions.

People with such different opinions and concepts not only quarreled, but also fought from time to time, so they also attracted a lot of attention.

Compared with the unpreparedness of the taxi industry, the insurance industry, and the road transportation sector, Xiao Qi talked to Libert about the difficulties he would definitely encounter when he first joined Uber.

Xiao Qi knew the development history of Uber very well in his previous life, because Xiao Qi was in the United States at that time, and he saw the scene of Uber sweeping the United States all the way, and he also knew the difficulties it encountered. There has been a lot of suppression, but in the United States, development has not been hindered.

Because the various laws in the United States are simply too weird, federal laws, state laws, municipal laws, regional laws... etc., as long as you have money, it is impossible to completely defeat a company like Uber .

Therefore, once these people began to complain, Libert also boldly began to spend money on relevant news media, to Mario Law Firm, and donated to those congressmen. Anyway, he would not admit defeat.

From the very beginning, let them know how difficult it is to kill Uber. If they want to deal with Uber in the future, I am afraid that those cities will have to think more about it.

At least in the home court of the United States, Li Bote is not afraid at all.

Whether it is the driver or the passengers, the benefit is the American people, so it is an internal struggle. How big a deal can it be? (to be continued ~^~)
