Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In mid-March, Xiao Qi asked Hoffman to take the lead in establishing Uber.

    To put it bluntly, Uber is a taxi-hailing software, and its most important key lies in the excellence of this software.

    The first is the premium algorithm for drivers and users, which can automatically make a matching price at any time based on morning and evening peak periods, congestion, remoteness and prosperity of the location, etc., so that the company, drivers and users can all profit.

    The second is the automatic matching algorithm. After the user places an order, the system software will automatically search and send the information to the nearest driver. After the driver confirms the order, the order is accepted, and other drivers cannot snatch it, and the user does not have to be  After receiving the order, the driver in the distance waited for a long time before getting on the bus.

    There are also some map matching and so on, but don¡¯t worry, Google itself is free and can be used very accurately, as long as it is connected to the Internet.

    It seems that these programs and functions are very cool.

    But in fact, for professional programmers, as long as you give these requirements and open up their ideas, it is not very difficult to apply them to actual software.

    Just like now, in just one month, Uber's program has been developed and has entered the actual testing stage.

    ¡°In fact, many Americans do things as meticulously and strictly as the Germans, and even the Chinese. The difference lies in whether your supervision is strict, and whether the people doing the work sincerely want to do things well.

    Dozens of engineers are all serious people.

    ??When it comes to their own careers, few people will act carelessly.

    Xiao Qi¡¯s first investment of 500 million US dollars came in, giving them corresponding shares and high salaries. Of course they must be worthy of this price.

    They themselves could see Uber¡¯s bright future and joined the company when it was just starting out.  But it is something that countless people dream of.

    What¡¯s more, this is the company of Xiao Qi, the richest man in the world. Based on everyone¡¯s understanding of Xiao Qi, any company that Xiao Qi has invested a lot of money in creating is a very good company.

    In this case, why are you still hesitating? Work hard.  Let¡¯s make money with Xiao Qi!

    As top experts in related industries in Silicon Valley, this group of engineers come from different fields. With combined efforts, the Uber program is not that difficult.

    Not to mention that Xiao Qi had already explained what functions Uber needed at the beginning of development. They only had to do things according to the requirements, and at most they could only improve them.

    In fact, at the beginning, they had such strict rules for Xiao Qi.  Very dissatisfied.

    Engineers are people with wild imaginations. They like to play freely and perfect a software or invention through constant exploration.

    " Xiao Qi is not an expert in this field, but he has set so many specific requirements and rules, which makes them feel that Xiao Qi has the feeling of "a layman commanding an expert."

    But after gradual research and development, they were shocked to discover the functions of the entire software.  Actually, all of them are necessary and all of them are the most suitable.  All are the best!  !

    They wanted to add some functions to improve it, but they all found that there was nothing particularly worth adding, it was just a trivial detail at best.

    The general functions have been decided by Xiao Qi long before research and development, and there are no mistakes at all!

    ? This is even more true during actual testing.

    Even engineers are using it.  They all found it very comfortable and very attractive.

    It¡¯s so surprising!  !

    It¡¯s as if Xiao Qi has seen such an Uber before, an Uber that has actually been used!

    "There is no way. A genius boy is a genius boy. He has already calculated it completely in his mind. How can this kind of ability be possessed by ordinary people? It's ridiculous that we still question him. Now that I think about it, he is really stupid!"

    Such remarks are widely circulated among the engineering team.

    Hoffman also heard this statement, but he just smiled.

    He knows more about how talented Xiao Qi is than anyone else. Look at the industries Xiao Qi has asked him to start in the past two years!

    Which of these has not become an emerging industry sought after by Wall Street, and which of these is not a genius idea worth billions to tens of billions of dollars?

    Now, Hoffman has Uber and Square, a mobile phone card swipe company, all of which are not inferior to the previous ones. Hoffman even feels that, except for AirBnB, none of the above are comparable.  Uber and Square are better.

    Ignore the sighs of the engineers.

      Now that it has been developed, Hoffman has previously found a group of marketing elites. During the actual test, he communicated with the engineers throughout the process to understand the excellence of Uber.

    Then the next most important task is handed over to them, let them discuss how to promote and operate it.

    Of the 5% shares that Xiao Qi gave to the management team, the engineers received 2% of the shares, and the marketing elites received 3% of the shares. Although it is slightly unfair, considering that the entire idea was created by Xiao Qi,  Engineers are just making and perfecting it, so 2% is not unfair to them.

    The true success of Uber is actually half the credit to software and half to marketing.

    If you want to promote this taxi-hailing software to the entire United States and the world, the role of a group of marketing elites cannot be ignored.

    Here, the CEO of Uber chosen by Hoffman is Li Bot, the president of Enterp Japan, a subsidiary of the largest car rental company in the United States.

    There are three brands under the group. Among them, enterp is a company that focuses on the temporary car rental market. On weekdays, if your car breaks down or you need to rent a car immediately in an emergency, you can contact enterp.

    Enterp has many outlets in the United States. Although each outlet only has a few cars on average, it is convenient and fast and is very popular among ordinary Americans.

    Li Bote, 43, has been with the company since its inception.  Then enterp Rise was able to achieve what he is today thanks to his single-handed efforts, and he is considered very talented.

    Hoffman hired this elite talent to Uber by offering him an annual salary of US$5 million, plus 1% of the shares.

    The reason for looking for Li Bot is that on the one hand he has outstanding abilities, and on the other hand Enterp Japan¡¯s model is similar to Uber¡¯s.  It was easy for him to get started and apply his experience to it.

    The reason why Li Bot came to Uber is even simpler. The future prospects of the company that Xiao Qi personally invested in are so bright, and he can still have 1% of the shares, which is much better.

    These professional managers in the United States actually think it is normal to change jobs.

    When I work in your company, I will definitely be serious and responsible.  But if there is a better development space, I will leave. Anyway, it is just selfishness.

    This is why large companies use equity incentives to retain elite executives.

    Li Bot joined Uber in April and fully understood the development process of Uber software, as well as its advantages and disadvantages. With more than ten years of work experience, he discussed it with a group of subordinates.  After consulting with the ace lawyers at Mario Law Firm, a very detailed development strategy was quickly formulated.  and the company¡¯s policies and terms.

    These strategies were sent to Xiao Qi's mailbox. After reading them carefully, the young man replied to Li Bote with the word "good", indicating that he would do what he wanted.

    The second tranche of US$1 billion was credited to Uber¡¯s company account the day after Xiao Qi responded and agreed.

    Libot also breathed a sigh of relief.

    Although Xiao Qi said it.  In addition to sending lawyers and accountants to check at any time, he handles all Uber affairs, but the first step of the plan must be approved by Xiao Qi.

    Now Xiao Qi agrees with his idea, plus a huge investment of 1 billion US dollars.  Li Bote is naturally full of energy and energy.

    Although the group is large, because it is a private company, it does not have that much spare money for Li Bot to use.

    Now with 1 billion US dollars in hand, Libot feels that he has become rich. Many people had ideas before, but no strategies that could be implemented, and finally they can use them.

    For a time, he felt very satisfied that he could join Uber.

    So after Libot recruited customer service staff and ordinary office staff, he started his own experiment in San Francisco, Uber¡¯s hometown.

    The United States is an advertising society.

    If you have money, you can let everyone see your product.

    It is under such circumstances that Uber appears in people¡¯s field of vision.

    Since the initial experiment was only in San Francisco, there is no need to promote it online for the time being. However, Uber¡¯s advertisements are everywhere in local print media, TV media and paper media.

    Of course, Li Bote did not forget to borrow Xiao Qi's banner, "a new Internet company founded by Xiao Qi, chairman of Fairy Company", "Xiao Qi caused a new revolution in the taxi industry" and so on.  Slogans can be seen everywhere.

    There were so many drivers and people calling Uber at once that the dozens of call takers were too busy.??.

    ? And the free download software Uber, which is placed in both the Android mall and the app store, has also ushered in a download boom of 80,000 people a day. Compared to San Francisco¡¯s population of more than 800,000, this number is already amazing!

    On the day the advertising was launched, Uber had its first signed driver, and the next day it had its first user using Uber.

    There is no doubt that Uber is off to a good start!  (To be continued)

    PS: In the past month, with a monthly pass of 500, one could reach almost 100 people, but now with a monthly pass of 500, one can reach 200 people. It is really beyond our reach!  But Xiucai is very grateful to brothers for their monthly votes. Most of my old friends vote every month, thank you!
