How did Didi taxi first spread abroad?
At present, more than 70,000 of the 654.38 million taxi drivers in Beijing have installed taxi software, and nearly 50,000 of the 67,000 taxis have installed taxi software. Didi taxi has been opened in nearly 100 cities across the country, with 480 thousand drivers and tens of millions of passengers installed. Cheng Wei, founder and CEO of Didi, said: "The speed of the mobile Internet is measured in minutes and seconds. We can't slack off and fight one after another. " Cheng Wei was born in 1983 and started his business for one and a half years. Didi Taxi, founded by him, is a taxi software based on mobile internet technology, and users can book taxis through the software. Before starting a business, Cheng Wei was an employee of Alibaba. He first worked in Alibaba B2B for six years, and then worked in Alipay for two years, reaching the level of deputy general manager of the business department. Seeing entrepreneurs fighting, his heart itched. He spent nine months thinking about what he really wanted to do. He thinks, first of all, something big enough to carry his dream of the world. There is a story about the contradiction between drivers and consumers. As we all know, for this kind of software with the nature of intermediary platform, which end to lay first is a very important choice. The driver's side is paved, but there are no consumers, so it is abandoned; The consumer side was paved, and no taxi was available, so it was scrapped. Didi seems to have tried to install the consumer or both at first, but it was not very successful. Later, I began to focus on the driver's side, let some drivers install the APP first, and then send their own people to a specific location to take a taxi, so that this small number of drivers can really feel the effectiveness of the APP, let them promote themselves, and then start to spread consumers.
