The first generation of the Didi Hailing app was still relatively rough. The details and art were not good enough.
However, it was simple and practical to use. After entering the origin and destination, one could take a taxi.
However, as Zhang Jianming said, the user experience of the Didi Hailing app was not good.
This user experience was negligible on the app side.
The most important thing was that after the taxi call started, no car took the order for a long time.
"Uh, this is quite a long time."
He looked at the time. 15 minutes had passed.
"Boss Chen, let me tell you."
Zhang Jianming smiled. "Although Didi Hailing looks quite new, there are not many users. Moreover, there are other taxi-hailing apps besides Didi Hailing. They also have fast … Wait."
"How's fast?"
"It's similar to Didi Hailing. There are not many people taking taxis. There are fewer people calling for taxis or drivers."
"It's okay. Wait a little longer."
Chen Yu did not care.
He had expected the Didi Hailing experience before.
Besides, it was normal for the effect to be poor now. As long as it was promoted, the experience would be multiplied many times.
It could almost be said that …
The friends who used Didi Hailing in his previous life did not want to take taxis anymore when they called for taxis in the future.
Even if it was a public bus, many people didn't want to take it anymore.
Therefore, a huge group of Didi Hailing users was born.
After Chen Yu and Zhang Jianming waited for an hour, a Didi Hailing finally arrived.
"Damn, there's finally a Didi Hailing."
Although Chen Yu had prepared himself, he still couldn't help but complain after waiting for an hour.
"Brother Driver, your efficiency is too slow. Do you know how long I've been waiting?"
"How long?"
"One hour."
"Not too long. I've seen people wait for two hours."
"Oh my god."
The two of them sat in the back.
The car registered to Didi Hailing was a Santana. It was neither new nor old.
The driver was still young. He was only in his thirties.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Why do you have to wait so long for an order?"
"You can't blame us. Actually, I saw your order before."
"Why didn't you pick it up after seeing it?"
"It's not that I don't want to accept it. I'm more than 20 kilometers away from you. If I accept it, I'll suffer a huge loss."
"Uh … that's true."
In Feng Yu's previous life, Didi used a system distribution mechanism.
In other words, no matter how far the order was, they had to accept it.
Of course, the system wouldn't send you one that was too far away.
However, it was clear that there weren't that many users right now.
This was not only the number of passengers, but also the number of drivers.
There weren't that many passengers or drivers. If they were forced to distribute the goods, it would be even worse.
"Coincidentally, I met a few people in front of me and circled around to your area. That's why I took your order. Oh, right, why do you look so familiar? "
"Is that so? That's what everyone says."
"Hehe."
The driver didn't hesitate and continued chatting with Chen Yu.
"By the way, Big Brother, do you usually use Didi?"
"Not necessarily."
The driver shook his head. "I'm usually contacted by my friends. There aren't many people using Didi at the moment. Sometimes, there aren't many orders in a day. Sometimes, I don't use it when I forget about it. Sometimes, I use it when I remember. I'm short of money recently. I thought that if I use Didi, there would be some orders. That's why I used it more. "
"How is it? How many orders do you get in a day?"
"On average, about two or three. It's not much. It's just a subsidy."
"That's good. Maybe you can get 20 to 30 orders a day in the future. "
"How is that possible? How can there be so many orders? Besides, there are many taxis on the streets."
"It's not convenient to use taxis. Sometimes, I don't have taxis in the suburbs. If you all use Didi in the future, no matter if it's the suburbs or even the countryside, there will be Didi. It'll be much more convenient. "
"Haha, if there are many orders, it'll be quite convenient. After all, we can drive to pick you up directly. You don't have to run to the streets to get a taxi. If you're in a hotel, we can even drive to the hotel entrance. You can take our car when you get down. It's much more convenient than taxis. "
After chatting for a while, they reached the destination they set earlier.
26 yuan.
The price was a few yuan more expensive than taxis.
This might be Didi trying to use high prices to attract drivers.
As for the passengers paying a few yuan more, it was understandable.
After all, it was a direct pickup, which increased the fuel cost.
However.
Chen Yu didn't just take this Didi.
After trying it for the first time, Chen Yu and Zhang Jianming continuously called for a few more DiDi.
But the experience was almost the same as the first time.
The waiting time for each order was usually about an hour.
But there were also some who were luckier.
When they were about to go back, Chen Yu's order was received in five minutes.
After asking, it happened that the driver was about to take a taxi. Chen Yu and Zhang Jianming happened to be near the driver.
The driver took a look and directly took the order.
This kind of experience allowed Zhang Jianming to find a trace of feeling.
"Five minutes is okay. If Didi Taxi can make every order take five minutes in the future, this app should be able to be launched."
Zhang Jianming said with emotion.
He was also very tired today.
He took five taxis and stood for five hours.
Then he saw that he got the order in five minutes. This feeling was wonderful.
"What did I say? Now you feel the pleasure of this app."
Of course, he didn't understand the use of this app after waiting for one or two hours.
But once the waiting time was greatly shortened, for example, to about five minutes, the experience was completely different.
"Brother Jian, five minutes is considered slow. I don't think this app needs five minutes in the future. If there are enough people using Didi, we only need to click a little. Someone will take the order in one second."
"One second to take the order?"
"Yes."
"That's too exaggerated."
"No, not at all."
If it was according to the system's mandatory distribution, he didn't even need one second to take the order. He could directly take 0.01 seconds.
And the one second that Chen Yu said was the time it took for the driver to take the order.
As long as the group of users and drivers was large enough, it was absolutely possible to take one second.
By then, the experience would be completely different from now.
"Okay, I'm a little tired today. Brother Jian, go back and rest first."
"Okay."
"Oh right, contact the founder of Didi Taxi. I want to talk to him."
"Okay, I'll contact him."
The next day, Zhang Jianming printed out the information of Didi Taxi's founder.
"Boss Chen, this is the information of Didi Taxi's founder. Erm, do you really want to meet him?"
"Why? Can't I meet the founder?"
"That's not it."
Zhang Jianming shook his head but still said, "The main thing is that Didi Taxi's founder and CEO is only a young man in his twenties."
"Ah, Brother Jian, I thought you were going to say something."
Chen Yu laughed loudly. "So you're that old?"
"No, I'm just afraid that he's too young."
"Being young doesn't mean that he can't do things. I just think that being young is more energetic."
Actually, Chen Yu didn't need the information of Didi Taxi's founder. He already knew who the founder was.
In his previous life, Didi Taxi's founder was called Cheng Wei. He was born in 1983 and was only 23 years old now.
He was even younger than Huang Zheng.
But reality proved that.
The Internet was a market that was full of vitality.
There were often a series of Internet big shots who were very young.
When Yang Zhiyuan founded Yahoo, he was only 26 years old.
When Brother Ma founded Penguin, he was not even 30 years old.
In his previous life, the founder of TikTok was also born in 1983.
As for Chen Yu, he was an exception.
After all, he had cheats.
