Chapter 733 Travis, see you overseas
BB and Kuaidi did not sit idly by because of the rectification. On the one hand, they continued to operate in various ways to shorten the rectification period, and on the other hand, they also increased subsidies.
Although promotion is not allowed, Didi can always resist its sniping against the sinking market.
Didi has also become accustomed to knowing when to stop and will always leave a way out, without the brutality it showed when doing group buying before.
Seeing the dramatic reversal of the situation, most people began to remain silent and no longer had the enthusiasm to discuss the matter as before.
The market itself is a tough nut to crack, but for some reason, group buying can make it into a soft persimmon. They feel that they are not qualified to judge the group buying business.
After the spring rain in early April, Uber officially withdrew from the Chinese market as rumored in the industry.
At that time, Travis came downstairs of the headquarters where rain was dripping. Looking at the clouds that looked like fish scales, he couldn't help but wrap his coat tightly and walked towards the car under the guidance of Peter Fenton and secretary Anna.
But just as he sat down, a Maybach crossed the long street after the rain and drove side by side with Travis' car.
The car window rolled down, Jiang Qin slowly turned his head and gave a friendly smile.
[Old Trump, when do you return to the United States? I will take you there.]
Kang Jingtao couldn't help but think of Jiang Qin's greeting at the Internet Conference, and thought that this might be the legendary keeping one's word.
In the market competition that lasted for more than a year, Uber struggled many times, and now it is finally leaving, and Jiang Qin did arrive as promised.
In fact, Travis was once selected as one of the top ten most influential young CEOs in Silicon Valley. His reputation in the United States is no less than that of Jiang Qin. However, in front of Jiang Qin, his momentum is still inferior and he looks old.
"Goodbye, Mr. Travis."
"Mr. Jiang, I think I will never come to China again. Maybe goodbye is unnecessary."
"No, I mean see you in overseas markets."
“…”
Travis shuddered, his eyes twitching wildly.
He came to the Chinese market with great ambition to make money, but he never expected to offend a powerful enemy who would go after Uber overseas.
Jiang Qin tilted his head, leaned against the headrest of the back seat, and looked at Kang Jingtao standing under the dripping eaves: "Boss Kang, long time no see."
"It's been a long time since we last met, Mr. Jiang."
"What are you going to do if Uber leaves? Are you interested in trying group buying? Zhu Jinfu is doing very well in our company."
When Kang Jingtao heard Zhu Jinfu's name, he couldn't hold it in for a moment.
When Lashou.com was aggressively attacking the Shenzhen market, Kang Jingtao parachuted into the Shenzhen branch, bypassing Zhu Jinfu and attempting to poach Jiang Qin's sales team. However, he ended up directly destroying Lashou's last independent branch.
Since then, Zhu Jinfu packed up his belongings and joined Pintuan, becoming the general manager of Pintuan Shenzhen, and his life has been prosperous.
Thinking about myself again, damn, I really took a detour for four or five years.
"Boss Jiang, do you need me for the group?"
When Kang Jingtao heard that he could be recruited by the group buying team, he became excited without even noticing it in his mind. However, he did not show his excitement. Instead, he humbly asked if the group buying team needed him.
This is the emotional intelligence of senior professionals. Now workers all over the country know that group buying is one of the companies with the highest employee benefits and salary levels, so they don’t need to ask what they can get, but instead ask where the company needs me.
Jiang Qin looked at Travis and said, "In the future, when we are working in overseas markets, I need someone who understands Uber."
Travis: “…”
Kang Jingtao pursed his lips and said, "I will report to the company on Monday."
Speaking of which, fate is a very interesting thing. In order to raise funds, Lashou.com frantically emphasized its status as the king of group buying. It even held a group buying conference in a pretentious manner and invited peers from all sides to participate.
At that meeting, Jiang Qin once joked that he would arrange five insurances and one fund for Kang Jingtao.
At that time, group buying was unknown and many people took this statement as a joke, but now it has come true.
Jiang Qin retracted his gaze and said, "Old Te, the time has come. Let's go."
Travis told the driver to drive, but for some reason, he felt a chill on the back of his neck.
Afterwards, a group of two cars arrived at the airport.
Jiang Qin did not get out of the car, but watched Travis leave through the window.
"His secretary is pretty good-looking."
Jiang Qin narrowed his eyes and looked at the driver after he finished speaking: "Don't tell your boss's wife what I just said!"
The driver swallowed and said, "I understand."
After Uber completely left China, someone did the math for them and found that this American company spent a total of nearly 2 billion US dollars in the domestic market, which really deserves the word "lavish".
In the end, at the end of the game, they took nothing away. They were simply living Bodhisattvas.
But some people say that this is not true. Although Uber lost the market, it still gained 13% of Bibi’s shares.
Every time they hear this kind of thing, some outspoken people can't help but say that Jiang Qin smiled and asked foreign capital to leave the market, and quietly locked the door, intending to beat up his competitors in the small dark room. Under such circumstances, it is hard to say whether Bibi's shares will still be valuable in the future.
From February to April, this farce that had never escalated into anything serious finally showed signs of clearing up after the rain.
During these three months, Pintuan has successfully entered four regions: South Korea, Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong.
Before the New Year, the market research team had conducted a five-month investigation on these four markets, so the establishment this time was very smooth.
However, this time, Pintuan did not start with group buying as it did in China, but started with takeout.
Because according to previous market experience, the growth rate of the takeout industry is far higher than that of group buying. Group buying changes the development order to takeout first and then group buying, which can save 50% of development time.
So the overseas platform Keeta was officially launched.
South Korea's latitude is higher than China's, so even though spring has arrived, Koreans still have to wear coats to keep warm.
In Cheongdam-dong, Seoul, a group of people in suits and ties waved to each other on the street and got into their cars after saying goodbye.
"President, where are we going now?"
"Go back to the company."
"OK."
The German food delivery giant Delivery Hero, also known as Waimai Chaoren in Chinese, is currently doing very well in South Korea. Its former China CEO Liu Yihua left China after being beaten up and was transferred to South Korea to develop the market there.
Although his domestic performance was not good, Liu Yihua had experience after all, and he had lived in South Korea for many years, so the company's boss still trusted him very much.
Of course, Liu Yihua did not let this trust down.
After abandoning the Chinese market in 2013, they spent two years developing their Korean business, which has now grown to a considerable scale.
To be honest, the business environment in South Korea is much friendlier than that in China. There aren’t so many people competing for business, and you can start quickly as long as you can provide high-quality services.
Only when Liu Yihua came here did he know what heaven was. In comparison, the involuted Chinese market is like hell.
When I returned to Delivery Hero's Korean branch from Cheongdam-dong, it was lunch time and the employees were all eating at their workstations.
As a food delivery company, the employees of course eat food delivered by Delivery Hero.
Liu Yihua walked by with a smile, greeting the grassroots employees, and suddenly stopped and looked at the takeaway of one of the employees.
His takeaway box is covered with a plastic bag with the name and logo of Delivery Hero printed on it, which looks quite beautiful.
The efficiency of the Publicity Department is still quite good. They have already started to unify the packaging and expand the brand influence.
Liu Yihua stepped into his office and saw his secretary walking in with a stack of documents.
"President, a new food delivery company has recently emerged, called Keeta, and it is growing very fast."
“Local companies?”
“No, they are from China.”
Liu Yihua was slightly stunned after listening to this, and took the information sheet. When he saw the Keeta logo on the first page, his eyelids jumped instantly.
For some reason, when he saw that bright yellow color, he always had a sense of déjà vu.
Then, Liu Yihua continued to look back, and when he saw the name of Keeta's head office in this enterprise, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
Liu Yihua's secretary was Korean. When he saw his face change drastically, he was slightly stunned and didn't understand what was wrong with the president.
Delivery Hero has many years of market experience and has conquered the world. Its resources and technology are at the forefront of the market. After entering South Korea, it has been unstoppable and has hardly encountered any competitors, so his solemnity puzzled his secretary.
But at this moment, there was a sudden click outside the office.
"Ashi!"
The man who had just eaten the takeaway stood up from his workstation. His pants were soaked with the soybean paste soup, and the keyboard on his desk was also soaked through.
The employee was very angry. He moved the keyboard aside while using tissue to wipe his pants.
The soup dripped down the edge of the table, turning the floor into a dark brown color.
Liu Yihua came out upon hearing the noise, and stood on the left side of the coffee bar. He looked at the employee who was furious, and then looked at the packaging bag that was torn from the bottom. The chill he had just felt instantly rushed from his spine to his mind.
He felt that a thick fog filled with murderous intent was surging towards the market, which was grand and unavoidable.
(Please give me a monthly ticket, please give me a monthly ticket, please have pity on Laocuo.) (End of this chapter)
