5000 active passengers and more than 100 active drivers.
This data …
Cheng Wei was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Especially since it was an internet business.
Without millions of users, one would be too embarrassed to say that one was in the internet business.
Therefore, when Cheng Wei and Wu Rui were asked about this data, they were extremely embarrassed.
This was also why they couldn't believe it when they found out that Huanyu Technologies was paying attention to them.
They couldn't believe that a small company like them could attract a giant like Huanyu Technologies.
Even so, Cheng Wei could only tell the truth.
The data couldn't be faked.
If it was a layman, they could exaggerate it.
They didn't understand it anyway.
But if it was a professional, they could make the data clear with a simple investigation.
And both of them knew.
Since Huanyu Technologies came to them, they must have done their investigation beforehand.
If the data was fake, they probably had no hope.
However, although the two of them were a little embarrassed, Zhang Jianming didn't say anything about this data.
On the contrary, Chen Yu nodded. "Actually, the data is okay."
"The data is okay?"
The two of them were stunned.
This was sarcastic.
How could such data be okay?
The two of them didn't know how to continue the conversation.
Fortunately, Zhang Jianming asked again, "What do you think are the advantages of Didi Hailing compared to taxis?"
Cheng Wei put aside the embarrassment in his heart and said, "There are many advantages. First, Didi Hailing is more convenient than taxis. I believe that Boss Chen and Boss Zhang should have experienced Didi Hailing. Didi Hailing is an online service, and the car will go directly to the taxi-hailing location. It's equivalent to a private car. Second, Didi Hailing is cheaper than taxis. Of course, the current price is indeed more expensive than taxis. But in the future, when Didi Hailing users increase, our price will continue to drop. At the same time, because Didi Hailing has built-in Gaud navigation, our drivers can follow the navigation to the destination. Users can also check the route the driver is taking through the navigation. This also increases the safety of users.
"Third, Didi Hailing can effectively alleviate the problem of taxis. We know that in Shencheng, it's basically impossible to get a taxi during the evening rush hour. There were even a lot of passengers who started fighting because of the problem of taking a taxi. But if we promote Didi, then we can call for a taxi anytime and anywhere. Moreover, because it's a special car, no one will snatch the car. "
"The fourth advantage is safety. This safety was mentioned earlier. Through the navigation system, we can check if the driver has deviated from the original driving route. In addition, we will also install surveillance cameras on the Didi platform in the future to improve user safety. "
"The fifth one …"
Although Didi Taxi's stats weren't good, Cheng Wei couldn't stop talking about the advantages of Didi Taxi.
However, Zhang Jianming did not say anything about it.
It wasn't a big deal to see the advantages of Didi Taxi.
Most importantly, how are you going to promote Didi Hailing?
It was just like how Huanyu Technologies used to do instant messaging.
Everyone knows the advantages of instant messaging, but how do you seize this market?
"Didi Taxi Hailing is indeed attractive. However, let us return to the previous question. Just now, we also learned about Didi Taxi's current stats. Although you have just started this business not long ago, it's normal that the stats are not very good. However, what I want to ask is, how are you going to promote Didi Taxi Hailing to all users in the future? "
"We have a lot of strategies for promotion, but because we are limited by funds, our promotion results are not very good for the time being."
"What if you have no problems with funds?"
"If there are no problems, then the first step is to give each of our Didi Taxi owners a smartphone."
"Why do you want to give them smartphones?"
"We have done market research. The promotion of Didi Hailing was actually limited by smartphones. The more people who used smartphones, the more people who used Didi Hailing would use Didi Hailing. However, through our market research, we found that only 20% of the car owners and drivers have smartphones. "
"That's not bad."
Chen Yu nodded in agreement.
After the launch of Super Pear, there had been a smartphone craze around the world. However, smartphones had only been launched for about a year.
There was still a considerable number of people who did not buy smartphones.
Without smartphones, passengers could not use Didi Taxi Hailing.
Without smartphones, car owners could not use Didi Taxi Hailing.
This was also the reason that limited the development of taxi hailing software.
This was related to the bandwidth constraints in the early days of the Internet.
If the bandwidth was too slow, a series of applications could not be developed.
"Thank you, Boss Chen."
Seeing Chen Yu's approval, Cheng Wei was a little excited. He then said, "Second, we will build a huge ground promotion team and focus on converting the original taxi drivers to our Didi Taxi drivers. We have an advantage here. The taxi drivers are actually under the control of the company. While they drive, they have to pay a monthly fee. Moreover, this fee is quite high. It is very advantageous for us to poach them to Didi Taxi. "
"Third, we will introduce more functions and attract more car owners to join our Didi Taxi …"
Halfway through, Cheng Wei didn't continue.
"Hehe, are you afraid that we will steal your technology?"
Chen Yu smiled and then said, "Don't tell me it's a free ride business."
"Boss Chen, how, how did you know?"
Cheng Wei was dumbfounded.
He did not expect Chen Yu to guess the function that they had been researching for so long.
However, Chen Yu smiled and did not say anything.
"Alright, it is indeed a free ride business."
Since Huanyu Technologies had guessed it, Cheng Wei could only say it out loud.
Thinking about it, it made sense.
Huanyu Technologies was so powerful. Since they were interested in the taxi hailing business, they had done research on it.
It was normal for them to think of the free ride business.
"This business can indeed attract more car owners to join the Didi Taxi team."
Chen Yu also agreed with this business.
In his previous life, when Didi Taxi was in its early days, it was this free ride business that attracted many car owners to join.
This was because for many people, they did not want to be a full-time driver.
However, if it was on the way, they could indeed be a free ride driver.
Since it was on the way, it would be a waste not to earn some money.
However, if they were asked to join the full-time Didi Taxi team, many people would probably refuse.
This would also greatly reduce the conditions for car owners to join Didi Taxi.
Later on, when everyone had a thorough understanding of Didi Taxi, it was not particularly important whether it was smooth sailing or not.
