Chapter 649

The sun was shining brightly through the glass window in the study. Henry stretched and leaned back on the chair. He has just written a business plan about taxi software.

According to Henry's previous life, Uber, the famous taxi software, was established in 2009. Since then, it has developed faster than Facebook. Before Henry's crossing, its market value has soared by more than 50 billion, surpassing that of General Motors and Ford Motor Company, and Bill Smith, managing partner of Google Ventures? Mr Malis said Uber's long-term market value could be as high as $200bn or more. At that time, China's didi taxi service also reached 25 billion US dollars!

Obviously, taxi software is a huge market.

If Tesla acquired General Motors, it will certainly help to promote taxi software. In the past, Uber joined hands with Toyota, general motors and other companies to develop car sharing business.

In view of the change of mobile mode in the future, the development potential of car sharing business is great. Idle resources can be shared in the same city or even the whole society, which greatly reduces the transaction cost and improves the transaction efficiency. Therefore, although people do need to use a car sometimes, they don't necessarily want to own a car. If cars are on call, why should people pay for them?

The automobile industry is in the wind of change. The cooperation between automobile companies and Uber can transform into a "travel service provider" to adapt to the future changes of the industry!

After 12 days, GM couldn't hold on and had to file for bankruptcy protection. In desperation, it finally agreed to be acquired by Tesla for $22.5 billion! At the same time, Tesla has spent another $2.35 billion to acquire a subsidiary of lessler automobile company, Jeep jeep, the leading brand of SUV worldwide!!!

I'm used to driving luxury sports cars like Rolls Royce, Bentley and Bugatti Veyron. I can change my taste by driving off-road vehicles. It's very good.

When Tesla announced its acquisition of general motors, oil prices plummeted on the same day, and oil prices plummeted by $3.40.

There is no doubt that with the help of Tesla, General Motors will launch various brands of electric vehicles, and the electric vehicle market will further expand! Other auto companies will naturally speed up the development of electric vehicles!

General Motors has powerful technology and many models, which just fills the gaps of Tesla in other aspects. At the same time, we can use the technology of general motors to make better cars! After the acquisition of general motors, Henry reorganized Tesla and established umbrella company. Tesla has changed into the parent company of Rolls Royce, Bugatti, Tesla, jeep, general motors and Tesla radio charging. In the future, Tesla will not only develop automobile companies, but also set foot in more technology industries!

After the reorganization, Tesla has become the second largest automobile manufacturing company in the world, second only to RB Toyota.

Three days later, Henry held a meeting in Digo, where members included the heads of all Tesla's auto companies and FedEx.

Digo City, Williams seven star hotel.

Sitting in the first seat of the luxury conference room of the hotel, Henry took a glance at the crowd and said, "the main content of this conference is to develop a taxi software based on one point!"

They looked at each other, not quite understanding what Henry meant.

Most of the people present are automobile manufacturers. What is the purpose of developing taxi software?

Although very confused, but people still did not question in front of Henry. Henry, a legendary figure who has not been on the earth for thousands of years, will not speak casually!

The crowd watched Henry quietly, waiting for the following.

Henry looked at everyone and asked slowly, "what do you think will happen to the auto industry in the future?"

"People are getting richer and richer, especially in Africa, where a lot of people already have money to buy cars. Therefore, I think the auto industry will develop rapidly in a blowout way! " Cameron Steele, CEO of general motors, said that he was in his 40s, 181cm or so, thin and previously CEO of general motors.

Henry smiles, nods and looks at the others.

"Environmentally friendly and economical electric cars will be the mainstream cars of the future," said Henry Filimon, CEO of Tesla Motors

"Anything else?"

"Now there are more and more rich people, and the luxury car and sports car market is also a huge growth point in the future!" The CEO of Rolls Royce added.

Henry nodded and said, "yes, you are all right. However, have you ever thought about why I said at the beginning of the meeting that I would develop a taxi software? "

After a pause, Henry continued: "the era of mobile Internet is coming, which is not only full of unlimited business opportunities, but also subverting countless industries!"

Henry raised his voice a few decibels and said, "if we don't conform to the development of the times, we will eventually lag behind other innovative automobile companies!"!!! Now let me talk about why I asked you to develop a taxi software! As early as the 1940s, a Swede first proposed the concept of "car sharing", and then they organized a "self driving cooperative" all over the country. After one person used up his car, he gave the key to the next person to share the car resources and save money. Later, Rb, Britain and other countries scrambled to follow suit, but they did not form a scale. RB is mainly because the car manufacturers do not support the plan, believing that the plan will reduce car sales and cause huge losses to the company. Although the UK is supported by the government, car rental is expensive, which hinders the development of "car sharing". With the development of computers, electronic keys and satellite positioning systems, today's "car sharing" not only has technical support, but also can add many new connotations. Therefore, the development of a mobile phone app taxi software can perfectly achieve "car sharing"!!!

Perhaps some automobile manufacturers do not recognize it, or even disdain it. Like RB's automobile manufacturers, they think it will cause losses to the company.

At present, the total number of people who own cars in the world is as high as 130 million, and another 5.87 billion people do not have cars. 5.87 billion, which is a huge number! I think some automobile manufacturers will laugh at me with a familiar example. For example, two people went to Africa to sell shoes. At first sight, Africans don't wear shoes at all. One person said, "you see, Africans don't wear shoes at all. How can we sell our shoes?" Another said, "it's because Africans don't wear shoes, so as long as we change their ideas, there will be a huge market!"

Henry's tone is light, still not slow, said: "yes, this is really a huge market. However, I see things differently from these car manufacturers. In my eyes, selling services is always more important than selling products, and products are just one of the services! Therefore, for the huge market of 5.87 billion people, what we want to sell is services!!!

With the development of mobile Internet, car sharing business has great development potential. It can share idle resources in the same city or even the whole society, thus greatly reducing the transaction cost and improving the efficiency of the transaction.

Although people do need to use a car sometimes, for the sake of economy, work or living and parking environment, not everyone wants to own a car. The development of taxi software seems to reduce the sales of car companies, but we carefully analyze it, and then we will find that people's demand for cars remains unchanged, or even increases!

So, here's the problem! "

After a pause, Henry gave everyone a few seconds to think about it. Then he said, "since the demand for cars is increasing instead of decreasing, it's very important to use the cars of which company! At present, the automotive industry has been in the tuyere of change, unchanged or dead! If we let our competitors launch taxi software and occupy the market, we can imagine that with the help of taxi software, they will be able to seize more market share than us! Therefore, from now on, Tesla must make a transformation from a car manufacturer to a "travel service provider" to adapt to the future changes in the industry

Pa Pa Pa!!!!

As soon as Henry's voice fell, everyone in the room couldn't help clapping.

It's worthy of being Henry Williams. As expected, he is far sighted and brilliant in wisdom!!!

At present, everyone admires Henry very much. Cameron Steele, CEO of general motors, who has just joined Tesla company, sincerely admires Henry and says in secret: "it's no accident that Henry Williams can achieve such a great achievement!"

If Henry knew what Cameron Steele was thinking at the moment, he might pat him on the shoulder and say modestly, "it's nothing. You can be reborn and you can drop it too..."

There is also the CEO of FedEx sitting in the conference room. Henry called him. He must have something to do with the development of taxi software. Everybody knew what else Henry would say, so after a while, they all stopped.

Henry then added: "with the taxi software, drivers can pick up customers through the taxi software. Therefore, we can propose a new way to buy a car, for example, car buyers can pay part of the car loan fee for taxi software service! In this way, when users buy a car, they can also make money by the way to repay the car loan, which must be deeply liked by users. For Tesla, it can not only increase the company's car sales, but also help promote the taxi software! "

After hearing the speech, everyone applauded and agreed.

"That's a great idea!"

"Yes, it's a good idea!"

“……”

Henry laughed, raised his hand to signal silence, and then said, "as for more content, you can brainstorm. I'm afraid that our FedEx CEO Mike Sandy is hot in the ass. he has said a lot about cars and taxi software before. It's time to talk about things related to FedEx! "

Hearing this, they all looked at Mike Sandy and laughed.

Mike sandy also laughed, he said: "Your Majesty, it seems that taxi software will cooperate with FedEx?"

Henry nodded with a smile. "Yes, that's right!" Then, his face became slightly serious and said, "in fact, the promotion of taxi software will face a very critical problem, that is, how drivers make money! If the driver makes less money, will he be willing to use taxi software? If there is no driver willing to use the taxi software, the number of cars will be small. When passengers use the taxi software, the car will not come quickly. Passengers must have no patience to wait, we will lose a customer. At the same time, when the driver drives over, he finds that the taxi driver is gone. What do you think? I'm afraid that fewer and fewer drivers are willing to use taxi software! This vicious circle will eventually lead to the failure of taxi software! "

After hearing what Henry said, people could not help frowning. It was only then that they found that it was not easy to promote taxi software.

Henry then said: "so, to create value for the driver, to achieve a win-win situation, this is what we have to do!" Henry turned to FedEx and said, "FedEx can provide drivers with the opportunity to make money. That's right, we all thought of it, that is, let the driver deliver the express part-time! "

Speaking of this, Henry stopped and pondered for a while before he said, "first of all, I plan to use the brand and resource strength of FedEx to establish rookie Network Technology Co., Ltd., which will join Nicholas international e-commerce group, Taobao and other logistics companies in the future. As for rookie Network Co., Ltd? In my plan, it is not a logistics company, but a global intelligent logistics backbone network. What it does is to let partners in warehousing, express delivery, transportation, landing distribution and other links get clearer business scenarios, and use data to make them get better production capacity! The global intelligent backbone network system will form an open network of social storage facilities in the world through self construction, co construction, cooperation, transformation and other modes! Take an easy to understand example, such as the school supermarket, department store, etc., where you have a warehouse, you can join the rookie network! In this way, it means that every corner of the city has become a warehouse, and it is much more convenient for couriers to pick up and deliver goods. For users, it is the same.

However, we need to know that the real occupation of a driver is a driver, so picking up and seeing off passengers is the first task. Therefore, the taxi software needs a good algorithm!!!

For example, when the driver receives the order, the system will give the route map and task. When a passenger wants to go to a place where there is a package to be delivered, and the location of the "warehouse" where the package is located is just on the way for the driver to pick up the passenger. At this time, the driver can pick up the goods from supermarkets, department stores and even hotels on the way, while the staff of these companies will put the goods on the side of the street in advance and wait for the bus to arrive, Then immediately into the trunk, so as not to waste time. It should be noted that after the driver delivers the passenger to the designated location, the specific receiving address of the package will appear in the task at this time. This is to prevent some drivers from delivering the goods first, which will delay the passenger's time and make the passenger unhappy. After that, only when the package is signed in can the driver continue to take the task. This is to prevent the sudden arrival of an order. If the driver thinks that he is making more money to send the passengers, he will not send the package. Finally, the company will be complained by users, which will damage the corporate image!

Well, more things, you think for yourself, I just put forward a general direction!

"Sire, after so much talk, we don't know the name of taxi software yet!"
