Chapter 696

This Valentine's day, the merger of kuaan and Kuai has set off a hot discussion in the capital market, the Internet industry and the Internet.

Shen NANPENG, head of Sequoia Capital China, commented: "although the merger of Kuai'an and Kuai is somewhat unexpected, it is reasonable that the previous money burning subsidy war between the two companies not only wasted a lot of capital reserves, but also attracted strong opposition from shareholders of both sides.

At present, the cold winter of capital is coming, and both sides do not want to start a new round of money burning war. Moving towards merger is the best choice for both sides to go further.

The merger of the two companies will unify the Asian taxi software market. Uber now wants to open the Asian market, which will be much more difficult than before! "

President Ma of Tencent: "I am very happy to express my warm congratulations on the merger of kuaan and Kuai. I would like to thank Kuai'an team, Kuai'an team and all the people involved in this project. I believe that Kuai'an travel after the merger will make greater contributions to the development of mobile travel industry in Asia and the world."

Baidu president Li: "congratulations on the merger of Kuai'an and Kuai'an. After the merger, Kuai'an travel will become the absolute leader in the mobile travel market in Asia. There is still a long way to go in the future. I wish Kuai'an travel will play a positive role in improving people's travel efficiency, reducing environmental pollution and promoting industry employment!"

Compared with Tencent, which promotes the merger of the two companies in the capital market, Baidu and other giants are optimistic about the merger of the two companies. Online netizens have different opinions on this, and even belittle the public opinion, which is far greater than the public opinion.

"We can't merge! If we monopolize in the future, we won't issue taxi tickets. There is competition before there is power." netizen Qian You BS.

"I oppose Monopoly!!!" netizen Ling Changjin.

"Can the quick 10 yuan taxi ticket be used? If it can be used, I will support you together!" netizens are as frightened as winter.

"A company with a market share of 120% was born!"

"So is there any discount for taking a ride home this Spring Festival?"

"It's safe and fast. We merged as soon as we enjoyed the benefits of the two party system. After the merger, there was no competition, less red envelopes, less taxi tickets, less driver subsidies, and the cruelty of the one party system. Let's feel it!"

"Continue to fight and fight. The merger will not monopolize. Who desperately sends us coupons and red envelopes!"

Wang Dayong, a taxi driver of Kuai'an, said: "although I don't want to see their two families merge, the migrant workers who haven't even signed the labor contract say they can't do anything!"

Netizens, as vested interests in the fierce competition between the two companies, naturally do not want to see the merger of the two companies. Therefore, they do not want to see the merger of the two companies, and they shout that the two companies are suspected of monopoly after the merger.

Even so, netizens can only spit on the Internet about the merger of the two companies, which can't stop or change anything.

Late at night, Fang Zhe, who had a sweet Valentine's day with his wife Feng Xuedu, finally expressed his views on this matter in the wechat circle of friends:

"Congratulations on the merger of Kuai'an and Kuai'an. Excessive burning of money to subsidize users will disrupt the market order and is also the laziest way of competition. In the future, Kuai'an should focus more energy and resources on products and business.

Travel is a huge market with infinite potential and has enough imagination boundary. Kuai'an travel should look back, look into the future, and don't always look at both sides! "

Fang Zhe's circle of friends is thought-provoking and to the point. Many of Fang Zhe's friends, including investors, media people, enterprise executives and CEOs, praised or commented one after another. Cheng Xiaodong, CEO of kuaan taxi, quickly commented below:

"Thanks to general Fang's advice, Kuai'an and I will keep in mind and strive to make the future travel of all Kuai'an users more convenient and better!"

It seems that Fang Zhe's circle of friends played a role, and it seems that kuaan taxi and Kuai taxi woke up before the merger. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming in four or five days, the newly merged kuaan travel has opened a new one on kuaan taxi and Kuai taxi app, which are still independently operated, which is warmer and more considerate than the Spring Festival in previous years, Activities close to the market.

Before that, Kuai'an taxi and Kuai taxi started the annual "Spring Festival send you home" activity at the beginning of the Spring Festival transportation more than half a month ago. Users take a taxi remotely, take a ride across provinces, and so on.

Even during this period of time, the news of the merger of kuaan and Kuai has been disturbing, which does not affect the normal development of the business and activities of the two companies.

On this basis, the new activity opened on Valentine's Day is different. The name of this activity is "take a bus home".

As you can tell from the name, this activity is also to make it convenient for migrant workers to take buses home for the Spring Festival. Compared with the hard to get one ticket for the high-speed railway and the relatively expensive price of free rides, buses have become the best choice for many passengers who can't buy high-speed railway tickets.

At 8 a.m. on February 17, on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Wu Xiaoxiao, a coal provincial who drifted north of Yanjing, helplessly looked at the 12306 website and still showed the information of high-speed rail without tickets.

Since the sale of high-speed rail tickets a month ago, Wu Xiaoxiao has been scrambling for tickets on 12306 to buy a high-speed rail ticket home. However, less than a minute after the sale of high-speed rail tickets, the tickets from Yanjing to his hometown have been sold out!

These days, Wu Xiaoxiao has been looking forward to picking up the missing tickets returned by others. Unfortunately, he has not been able to do so until today's December 29. Seeing that tomorrow is new year's Eve, Wu Xiaoxiao seems to have no other way to go home except by fast Anshun windmill and bus.

Oh, there are 15 hours of green paper Station tickets. It's still a night train. Wu Xiaoxiao doesn't want to be punished unless he has to.

Wu Xiaoxiao has never taken a bus from Yanjing to his hometown, and he doesn't know where to take it. The information on the Internet is chaotic and complex. He doesn't know where to buy a ticket, and he's afraid there will be no tickets.

Therefore, Wu Xiaoxiao opened the Kuai'an taxi app. He thought that if he couldn't, he would spend more money to fight with others for a ride. He just didn't know if he could still fight for the car.

Just after opening Kuai'an taxi, a new activity window pops up on the interface, "take a bus home".

Wu Xiaoxiao, who saw the title of the activity, subconsciously clicked in. The content of the activity said that in order to facilitate migrant workers to go home for the new year, Kuai'an organized tens of thousands of buses in hundreds of first, second and third tier cities across the country to help everyone go home for the new year.

Users can query and purchase corresponding bus tickets as long as they select the date and enter the start and destination in the interface.

After reading the activity profile, Wu Xiaoxiao can't wait to select today at the bottom of the page, enter the starting place Yanjing and the destination Nanjin City, coal province, and query.

At the bottom of the interface, several columns of bus information appear,

The bus from Huoying in Changping at 9 a.m. is the closest to the departure time. It's less than five stops by bus from my residence.

In addition to the buses starting from Changping Huoying at 9 o'clock, there are various time points such as 12 o'clock, 15 o'clock, 18 o'clock and 21 o'clock, as well as buses covering almost all regions and regions of Yanjing, such as Changping Huoying, Chaoyang Youth Road and Haidian Shangdi, and tickets are displayed.

Seeing that it was a little more expensive than the high-speed railway, but much cheaper than the free ride, Wu Xiaoxiao did not hesitate to buy the ticket of the bus from Huoying at 12 noon.

At 12 noon, Wu Xiaoxiao, carrying large and small bags, happily boarded the bus back home. Although the bus is not as fast and comfortable as the high-speed railway, it is much more comfortable than the green car with smoke.

"Kuai'an is so powerful now. It's so convenient!" Wu Xiaoxiao, who got on the bus, sighed. For the first time, before opening Kuai'an to take a taxi, he was really worried that he wouldn't go home this year for the new year, and Kuai'an took a taxi, which made him put down this worry.

Wu Xiaoxiao looked at the people sitting around. They were all fellow countrymen who drifted north, so they looked at each other very kindly. Half an hour later, the bus began to start and ran towards Wu Xiaoxiao's hometown.

This Spring Festival, many migrant workers who can't buy high-speed rail tickets, like Wu Xiaoxiao, took the bus organized by Kuai'an taxi to go home. Kuai'an's warm-hearted move of taking a taxi to send the people all over the country home has attracted unanimous praise on the whole network.

Many netizens praised that I can accept a taxi without coupons, but I hope Kuai'an will always have a ticket to go home.

Indeed, netizens were surprised to find that no matter when and where to go, the bus on Kuai'an's taxi always seems to have tickets, rather than not having bought it like 12306.

In fact, this is due to data accumulation and big data mining in the travel field in recent years. The fast lane taxi has a comprehensive evaluation, mining and calculation through the data of registered residence information, daily location information, holiday migration information and travel information in Spring Festival. We have basically mastered the migration behavior and scale of users in cities and regions across the country.

On this basis, through dynamic vehicle allocation and rational use of various bus and bus resources, Kuai'an taxi was able to realize the activity of "bus taking you home" which was widely praised by the people all over the country.

It sounds simple to do this, but the data complexity and technical complexity involved behind it are beyond many people's imagination. You know, even 12306, who has mastered the national large-scale travel data, is difficult to achieve a good dynamic allocation of train resources. In other words, some additional trains are opened every holiday and spring Festival, which is far from meeting the travel needs of many passengers.

As for Kuai'an taxi, it not only realizes the dynamic allocation of buses, but also realizes good route optimization and passenger seat quantity optimization. It is possible that when the number of passengers in Longcheng, Jiexiu and other cities along the way is less than half, they will also allocate minibuses first.

In a word, Kuai'an seems to be a simple activity, but its optimization and allocation of social travel resources is very high! It can be seen from the technical details accumulated by Kuai'an taxi in the field of travel.
