v2 Chapter 686: Uber is officially released!

Although the Arab terrorists are very rampant, it is not impossible for Henry to teach them. However, the reason why they have not been touched is because Henry has a bigger plan!

2008 is about to end. At this time, the whole of Africa has joined the "Wei Yuan" system, so it's time to start! It didn't take long for Henry to send invitations to African countries to come to the Williams Empire on January 10, 2009 to convene the Wisdom National Leaders' Meeting!

The era of changing the world is finally coming! ! !

Henry put down the phone and slowly came to the window, looking at the sunset that was gradually disappearing in the distance, bunches of golden soft light shone on him, making him look so tall and majestic!

Emperor Eternal, Williams!

In this situation, it seems that one can't help but want to kneel in front of him and bow down to his court!

...

A little bit of time passed, and Christmas came on December 25, 2008. On this day, the uber mobile app is grandly released!

Offline, all Uber cars are painted uniformly, the logo is printed on the car to distinguish it from other ordinary cars, and all Uber drivers drove to the streets to promote, those gorgeous Uber cars immediately attracted the attention of countless people!

Online, uber cooperates with hundreds of Internet companies, and advertisements have been posted on platforms including youtube, facebook, google, icq, instagram, LinkedIn, WeChat, Weibo, etc. In addition, uber advertisements are also recommended in the Apple Store and Android Store. First place on the page.

"When you go out to take a taxi, use the cheap and convenient uber taxi-hailing software!!!"

"Uber is on call, a must-have artifact for going out!!!"

"Download the uber mobile app for the first time and get a $10 coupon. In addition, among the world's top 10 million registered users, there will be a chance to draw a $1 million super prize!!!"

"This Christmas's best gift-uber taxi software, you deserve it!!!"

"..."

Uber's advertisements are simply overwhelming, but you will see it whenever you use a smart phone or surf the Internet. Suddenly, the number of downloads of uber "cengcengceng" soared, and there were 2.345 million download users in just one hour. After three hours and five minutes, the number of downloads exceeded 10 million!

Uber’s taxi fare surprised many people, not to mention giving away a $10 coupon, the taxi fare alone is nearly half cheaper than ordinary taxis!

"I'm going, isn't Uber afraid of losing money? I'll calculate it. If you use Uber to take a taxi, it will only cost about $4.55 for 20 kilometers. If you take a taxi, it will cost $8!" It's cheaper!

"Uber is really cheap to take a taxi, and you can also order a taxi in advance. I think everyone has experienced that when the traffic is heavy, it is really difficult to call a taxi!"

"Yes, I often wait a long time on the side of the road and can't get a taxi!"

"Under normal circumstances, an uber car will arrive at the car-hailing location within three minutes. At this point, I think it is quite fast and I can afford to wait. If you are lucky and the uber car is nearby, you may not need it for a minute! !!!"

"In fact, we can use uber to call a car before we go out, and when we go out, the car will almost arrive!"

In addition to attracting people at taxi prices, the one-million-dollar lottery is also particularly attractive.

Although there are so many people to draw a lottery, what if you are lucky and win the lottery? Then don't you become a millionaire?

The number of downloads of uber is increasing. By 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the number reached 42.321 million. At the end of the day, the total number of downloads exceeded 50 million. The whole world couldn't help but look at it! ! !

Countless investment companies and Internet companies were shocked. Unexpectedly, a taxi-hailing software turned out to be so awesome!

"It's so creative. Uber is called the most creative Internet design in 2008. Which genius designer designed this, I admire it!!!" commented a senior Internet expert in the United States.

An American Wall Street investment banker shouted in shock: "Oh, God, in just one day, Uber has created a 50 million legend, which is incredible! Undoubtedly, it is the next unicorn. !!! Oh no, it is not a unicorn, but a super unicorn!!!"

The president of an Internet company in the United States couldn't help but sighed: "I never expected that there would be a taxi-hailing software like Uber. It's so creative!"

"President, Uber is so popular, our company also does taxi-hailing software?"

"..."

The popularity of uber immediately ignited the market of mobile Internet taxi-hailing software, and countless companies are preparing to enter this industry!

In addition, Uber is a subsidiary of Tesla Inc. As a global auto giant, Uber’s existence cannot help making other auto giants feel a deep sense of crisis. And these days, with Uber’s users Increasingly, the stock prices of Toyota, Volkswagen, BMW, Daimler Automobile Group, Ford and other automobile companies have plummeted, while the stock price of General Motors, which was acquired by Tesla, has increased substantially!

Vincent Jenkins, the editor-in-chief of the famous American automobile magazine "hot-rod", pointed out the threat of uber to other car companies! He believes that “uber’s success is Tesla’s success. Uber’s monopoly on the global taxi market means that Tesla can use Uber to sell more cars! And the existence of Uber will inevitably reduce the desire of some people to buy cars. It has caused huge losses to other car companies. On the other hand, Tesla can make more money from Uber's taxi fare! Right now, taxi rides through mobile apps are unstoppable! So if Toyota, Volkswagen and other car giants want to defeat Tesla, for today's plan, only has to establish or support another taxi-hailing software company to form a confrontation with Uber!!!"

In fact, Toyota, Volkswagen and other companies are discussing whether to develop a ride-hailing software similar to Uber~lightnovelpub.net~ and even several car companies plan to cooperate together.

Obviously, in the near future, there will be a situation where uber will have more than one dozen.

so? So what?

...

...

Early in the morning on December 30, 2008.

Uber’s download users reached 67.215 million, and the growth rate has begun to slow down. However, in fact, the first- and second-tier cities have not yet reached saturation, and the third, fourth, and fifth-tier cities have yet to be vigorously developed! Therefore, Uber's growth momentum is still very rapid. Next year, there will be no problem with uber's users exceeding 100 million.

And because of the rise of Uber, it is bound to take away a large number of taxi drivers' business. Many passengers would rather use uber to take a taxi and wait for a while than to spend more money to take a taxi. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that in a short time, the income of taxi drivers will drop sharply, and in the end they can only find another job. At this time, Uber gave them a chance to join Uber and become Uber full-time drivers. In this way, uber can expand very quickly!

In addition, although currently, uber is mainly a car rental business, but through this entry point, uber will immediately become a one-stop travel platform covering multiple businesses such as taxis, special cars, express trains, ride-hailing, agent driving and buses.

In the future, Uber may become a super app with more than 1 billion users.

...

After an unusual Christmas, 2008 will soon pass.

On January 1, 2009, the “uber” logo image appeared on the cover of Time Magazine’s annual cover, and he wrote on the side: “The most creative mobile app in 2008 was the uber taxi application software, designed by Henry · Williams!"
