Chapter 1956 Acquaintance
There are all kinds of people in McDonald's at midnight.
Someone was covered in luggage and was sleeping soundly on the table.
Someone was sitting by the window, staring blankly at the night outside.
Someone ordered a cup of coffee and read while drinking.
There are also Li Rui and Qin Yi, holding Coke and chatting about work.
"A lot of competitors have emerged recently." Qin Yi pointed outside, "A week ago, I rented the Yaoshaw Car over there, which cost 6,000 yuan a month. There is also the road over there, which was rented by a taxi secret. They only came three days later than the Yaoshaw Car over there, and it rose to 8,000 yuan a month. We came earlier, and the rent was only 3,000 yuan a month, but the lease was only 9,000 yuan, and after the expiration, it may also increase to 8,000 yuan."
"Have you seen DD travel?" Li Rui was not interested in other competitors, only cared about DD.
Not only because DD Travel is the most successful travel company in his previous life, but also because DD’s founder Cheng Wei is very powerful. Without technology, funds and experience, he relied on ground promotion to build DD Travel, until he invested, became partners, until he merged, and became the largest travel company in China.
Although there were also stupid moves in the middle and even made big mistakes and were punished by the state, DD Travel's early rise is still worth learning from.
Even the path Xingrui Travel currently takes is learned from the successful experience of DD travel in previous lives.
Qin Yi shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it... I think our strongest competitors are Shacha and Hundred-meter taxi."
"Why do you say that?" Li Rui asked.
Qin Yi took out her phone and she had two mobile phones, one Apple and the other Android, with many taxi-hailing software installed on it.
Knowing yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle. Every Xingrui travel ground pusher has two such mobile phones on it, and they are also filled with competitors' software, staring at each move of each other at all times.
Qin Yi said: "The software of Yaoyaocha is the smallest gap between us among so many competitors on the market. I have tried it a few times and there are basically no bugs. Moreover, they started earlier in Yanzhou than us. The software was launched in February, and now it has attracted more than a thousand drivers!"
Li Rui nodded and said, "It's indeed done well."
To be honest, Li Rui doesn't care about this kind of loser in his previous life. This small-scale company relies on its first-mover advantage to grab some markets, but it is not able to open up a larger market or even protect the market in its hands. When real big capital enters the market, it will show a downward trend.
In the competition for taxi software, the early stage is to compete for ground promotion, the mid-term is to burn money, and the later stage is to compete for ecological chains!
It’s nothing to do if you want a car. It will disappear soon after the initial scenery is a bit prosperous. You don’t need to pay too much attention.
As for another company that Qin Yi mentioned, Baimi, Li Rui remembered an interesting industry news.
Qin Yi said that Baimi had a look of envy in his eyes: "I heard that Baimi was going to do a big thing."
"What's the big deal?" Li Ruiming asked knowingly.
"Do you still remember that when I first came to Yanzhou, I suggested to you that many taxi drivers do not have their own smartphones, so I suggest developing a smart device and installing our software for drivers to use?"
Li Rui nodded and said, "I remember."
Qin Yi said a little aggrievedly: "I think this suggestion is quite good, but if you don't accept it, Baimi is doing this now!"
"Oh, how did they do it?" Li Rui asked calmly.
Qin Yi lowered his voice and said, "I heard from the people of Baimi that they did a very detailed market survey and found that more than 90% of taxi drivers do not have smartphones, so they customized a 7-inch tablet computer with a 10-meter taxi software installed. As long as the driver pays a deposit of 300 yuan, they can install one in the car and can be refunded at any time."
"Is that amazing?" Li Rui pretended to be surprised.
Qin Yi said: "Based on my observations at Xijia Station, Yanzhou has installed their tablet computers, and there are at least one thousand cars!"
When Qin Yi said the three words "one thousand vehicles", he couldn't hide his envy in his eyes.
One thousand vehicles are still an out of reach for Xingrui Travel, which has only been started for a few months. They are exhausted every day to promote it. At present, including dozens of cars from their own company, they have only signed more than 700 cars, and the number of drivers online at the same time every day does not exceed fifty!
Li Rui smiled and said, "It's only a thousand units... When they get ten thousand units, you can report to me."
"What to do?" Qin Yi asked.
Li Rui pretended to be mysterious: "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed!"
After drinking Coke, the two walked out of McDonald's. The wind in Yanzhou was still hot at midnight in summer, and the rolling heat wave made people feel irritable and uneasy.
Li Rui waved his hand and called a taxi to take Qin Yi back to the dormitory. He wanted to chat on the way, but the girl started to get close to the driver as soon as she got on the bus. When the car arrived downstairs of the dormitory, the driver also took the flyer in a daze and promised Qin Yi that the first thing he did after changing his smartphone was to install Xingrui for travel.
"You really won't miss any opportunity." Li Rui said with emotion after getting off the car.
Qin Yi said: "Of course, this is a basic quality of ground promotion!"
"Come on, I believe you have no problem!" Li Rui said.
Qin Yi nodded and said, "Don't worry, we must have no problem!"
...
The vibration of the cell phone woke Li Rui from his sweet dream. He pulled his arm out of Ma Wenxuan, shook his sour fingers, picked up the cell phone and saw it at 7:27.
"Who called so early?" Seeing that the call number was still an unfamiliar landline number, Li Rui really wanted to hang up, but hesitated for a while and still connected.
A familiar voice immediately came from the microphone: "Li Rui, can you come to Yanzhou as soon as possible? I have something important to discuss with you!"
Li Rui was stunned for a moment: "Thank you, Mr. Si?"
"Oh... I called you with a landline... I am Xie Zhiqing! Can you take the earliest flight today to Yanzhou and come to the association to chat?"
Li Rui said: "I am in Yanzhou now."
"That's great! When will you come here!" Xie Zhiqing said excitedly.
Li Rui said: "If I get up now, it will take about half an hour, but you will only go to work at nine o'clock, right?"
"I haven't gotten off work yet." Xie Zhiqing smiled bitterly, "Let's talk about it when you arrive!"
Li Rui was a little surprised after hanging up the phone.
Xie Zhiqing was so anxious to see what he was doing. It shouldn’t be that something happened in the Eritrea potassium salt mine. Could it be Simandu?
