Chapter 203: Opening up
ofo spokesperson immediately stood up and clarified that general manager Dai Wei went to the United States only to inspect the European and American markets. The plan is to last for one month. There is no talk of thunder. I hope all users , don’t be misled by people with ulterior motives.
They will definitely refund the user's deposit, but it still needs a week of review time.
Lao Jia was also warned immediately, telling him to take care of his LeTV and not to meddle in other people's business.
“It’s none of your business, uncle, but this little kid has ruined the path I want to take.” Lao Jia was filled with resentment.
If Dai Wei does not come back, potential high-risk people like him will certainly not be able to apply to leave the country in a short period of time.
He could only think of a way to hold on for another year and a half, at least until the influence of Dai Wei's escape was reduced to a minimum.
At the same time, remaining bike-sharing companies such as Mobike and ofo have tacitly raised their current prices.
From the previous 1 yuan for 30 minutes, it was increased to 1 yuan for 20 minutes, declaring that this money-burning war has come to an end for the time being.
If one person runs away, the entire industry has to wipe his butt. There is no point in continuing to compete. In a week, winter is coming.
However, they are too optimistic.
It doesn’t take a week at all.
“Didn’t we agree on a week? How come it’s already been a week and the deposit refund is still under review?”
“Me too, it’s already the eighth day.”
Dai The day after Wei left the country, many topics about Ofo's inability to withdraw deposits became hot searches on the Internet.
The spokesperson once again issued a statement, but this time he apologized to the majority of users. The company is indeed facing difficulties in its operations.
Dai Wei went to the United States actually to find a solution. He hopes that the majority of users can give them some time.
The deposits of a total of 20.2012 million users will definitely be returned in full, but it will take a little time and a little patience.
Half an hour after the statement was released, someone suddenly discovered that the interface for refunding the deposit began to show the number of people queuing.
“Damn it, 8250124 digits, who can help me count how many zeros are there? Series in my lifetime?”
"It's only more than eight million, so I can snicker. Look at me, 16,023,502 people, this is called a lifetime."
"No way, no way? Is there garbled code in your queue interface? Why do I Row At No. 825?”
“You’re showing off, take it out and chop it up.”
Dai Wei absconded, ofo was hit by a thunderstorm, and it’s a fait accompli that netizens can only use it. Ridicule, cover up sadness.
As a result, more and more people saw the relevant news and logged into the app to apply for deposit refunds.
Ofo simply opened up and directly told every user who wanted to refund their deposit. The specific ranking would be refreshed every morning, and the highest ranking was after 20 million.
It also claimed that the rule that bicycles cannot be used during the deposit refund period has been cancelled. It is hoped that users can ride more in the future to help the deposit be refunded as soon as possible.
It’s not that they won’t return it, they just need some time.
“Zinima, refund the money!”
“Damn it, no one will care about it?”
"Click on this link to speed up the queue."
For a time, the official comment area of ofo was filled with demons and a hundred flowers, and users like Pinxixi also came over to join in the fun.
Since receiving Penguin’s investment of US$500 million, Pin Xixi’s one-off strategy has spread across the entire network like a virus.
Unexpectedly, netizens’ complaints turned out to be true. It didn’t take long for ofo to introduce a link to Pinxixi Mall.
Hold a knife-cutting event to speed up the queue for refunds.
"Oh no, it's against Tiangang."
"Who is in charge of ofo? So good at managing things?"
"The core team and investors have all given up. It is said that they are entrusted to professionals. Manager. ”
Suddenly, an Internet unicorn company became a low-level live-streaming company.
Countless netizens are also venting their dissatisfaction in the comment area. Their 99 yuan or 199 yuan is really gone.
"Chunchun is showing off."
Lu Liang laughed and silently clicked on the deposit refund interface. Because he applied late, he was ranked after 20 million.
I opened Mobike’s mobile APP again, and sure enough, Meituan’s management successfully captured this huge wave of traffic.
For Mobike users, it takes 7 days to refund the deposit for shared bicycles using Mobike’s APP, but it only takes one hour to refund using Meituan’s APP. Sometimes it only takes a few minutes or ten minutes to quickly refund the 299 yuan deposit.
Such high efficiency is in stark contrast to ofo, just like the scumbag and the top student in the class, and has attracted praise from countless netizens.
It can be said that Meituan spent no money and added millions of new users. Not only did it gain a good market reputation, it also merged Mobike into Meituan extremely smoothly.
Has become the biggest winner of ofo Thunder.
“Ofo is really over?” Xiao Wang was in a daze.
Looking back at the beginning of last month, ofo was still valued at US$550 million, which was worthless in the blink of an eye.
"Who dares to take over now?" Lu Liang couldn't help laughing.
After all, taking over the deal requires the responsibility of returning the deposits of more than 20 million users, as well as a payment of more than one billion.
At least it would take four to five billion at a time, but such a large sum of money could only be exchanged for the notorious ofo.
No one with brains can invest. Institutions that have invested before, such as Didi Ali Jingwei, can only secretly curse their bad luck.
Ali, in particular, has a reputation as a dark light in the industry, making countless start-up companies both love and fear his investment.
Wang Xiaocong was silent for a long time and suddenly asked: "Panda, will it be like this in the future?"
Seeing Lu Liang shaking his head, Xiao Wang was happy, but before he could be happy, he heard Lu Liang say: " Ofo also has 1.3 million shared bicycles. Even if there is no logistical maintenance, at least It can last for a year and a half."
Xiao Wang looked ugly: "In other words, if it were a panda, it might not last for a year and a half?"
"Isn't this obvious? Well." Lu Liang smiled, stretched, and planned to leave the Disney Park today.
In the past two days, the park was crowded with people, and he suddenly wanted to go back to the company and be alone for a while.
Xiao Wang stopped Lu Liang and asked anxiously: "What do you think of the proposal I made last time?"
"Bring in LeTV?"
Lu Liang thought for a moment: "It's okay now. Well, Dai Wei has an example, Lao Jia should not dare to run away in the short term. "
"However, I still don't recommend doing this. Panda is not too poor to expose the pot, so there is no need to cooperate with LeTV."
Xiao Wang hesitated, watching Lu Liang leave, Lu Liang couldn't help but If he supports it, he will lose his biggest bargaining chip.
This July is very lively.
There was ofo thunderstorm in the front, and [Qin] in the back delivered ahead of schedule.
Unlike Tesla traveling across the ocean, Gogo Soso squeezed out 50 vehicles for delivery.
The first batch of BYD Qin is 3,000 units, and it said that starting from next month, it will deliver more than 20,000 units every month.
There are a total of 64,000 pre-orders of this model, and they plan to complete the delivery of all locked orders before October.
Lu Liang also received a plug-in hybrid and a pure electric car. In addition to the ugly interior and the hip-stretching shape, the kinetic performance is very good, and the starting point is not inferior to any first-line sports car.
The intelligent driving system is also a highlight of the car, including lane keeping, cruise driving, and courtesy to pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles.
Originally, these functions were not necessarily available in luxury cars worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, but now they appear in hundreds of thousands of cars.
Lu Liang received the goods and asked Wen Chao to drive. The two came to the NIO Auto Experience Hall. Although the hall was no longer empty, there was only one ep9 on display.
As soon as he arrived, Li Bing hurriedly greeted the engineers, preparing to dismantle the car and study it carefully, cursing: "Why can you always get the first batch of qualifications?"
If Tesla's delivery is to take advantage of Lu Liang's fame, then BYD does not need to and there is no need.
After all, it’s just a car worth hundreds of thousands.
"Maybe it's just luck."
Lu Liang smiled and was very proud. Of the pre-ordered quantity of more than 60,000 units, 3,000 units were delivered in the first batch, and he had two units exclusively.
This is pure luck.
Lu Liang also learned from NIO engineers that intelligent driving levels in the world today are divided into six levels: L0-L5.
L0 level, no automatic driving, such as a 70,000 to 80,000 yuan van, means that all operations are controlled by the driver.
L1 level, assisted driving, such as adaptive cruise, automatically adjusts its own speed and braking according to the speed and distance of the vehicle ahead.
L2 level, partially autonomous driving, realizes functions such as automatic lane changing, automatic parking, and automatic following.
BYD Qin’s intelligent driving level is between L1-L2.
