Chapter 1024 Pilot
Hearing Xu Qianjin's question, everyone pricked up their ears.
Just like Xu Qianjin said, although everyone is sure that if this hybrid Sylphy is used as a taxi, the driver can indeed make more money, but the initial investment is too large, and the drivers may not be able to make such a decision.
Great determination, but if Huateng Industrial Group has any supportive policies, it would be great.
"Supportive policies? Yes," Liu Jianfeng nodded and said with a smile, "Originally I wanted to let everyone know about it and put it at the end, but since everyone has asked about it, let me tell you now."
Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes: Is there really a support policy?
"First of all, I want to make it clear to everyone that this policy has not yet been implemented. We are discussing it within the group, so the final policy may be different from what I said. You can just use it as a reference." Liu Jianfeng first gave everyone a warning.
vaccination.
Xu Qianjin nodded quickly: "It's okay to have a reference."
"Mr. Zhang also considered everyone's practical difficulties and put forward this idea: Is it possible to rent cars to drivers for use instead of leasing?" Liu Jianfeng said: "After all, there are many drivers who drive cars for rent.
They should be able to accept it, right?"
Taxi drivers are probably the group of people who are least averse to "vehicle rental" and have the highest level of acceptance. Today in 2003, the price of a Poussin was over 100,000... Don't talk about the market price.
It’s only about 100,000. It may be cheaper for taxi companies to purchase in bulk. It is indeed cheaper for taxi companies to purchase in bulk. And generally, taxi companies purchase the lowest version. But in actual operation, taxis
The company will use the group purchase price to buy the lowest-end models, or even lower-end models than the lowest, and sell them to taxi drivers at the market retail price of mid-range models.
What? Taxi drivers can’t afford it at this price? It doesn’t matter, you only need to pay a down payment of 30 cents, and you can get a loan for the rest. If you want a loan, the company will help you coordinate it;
What? You just started working as a taxi, and you don’t have the down payment and related expenses? It doesn’t matter, just pay a deposit and pay a rent every day...
This rent is generally called share money among driver masters.
During this period, taxi drivers could still bring their own cars and operate them under the auspices. However, in a few years, the taxi companies felt that the affiliation affected their own profits. Except for those affiliated vehicles that were related to the customers or actually belonged to the leaders, they simply stopped allowing them.
Social vehicles have arrived.
Sure enough, as Zhang Qihang had guessed before, when Liu Jianfeng mentioned that he could rent a car, Xu Jinjin nodded immediately: "Rent a car? That's fine, but how does it work specifically?"
Liu Jianfeng said: "It is roughly the same as the leasing method of our car rental company. On the basis of the car price, interest is added to calculate the daily rent. This rent is definitely higher than that of current taxis, but the gas price is not cheap.
Well, according to our previous algorithm, taxi drivers should earn a little more than before."
"In that case, that's okay," Xu Qianjin nodded: "But after calculation, the rent will be almost twice as high. This... I'm worried that the masters may not agree."
"We have also considered this possibility," Liu Jianfeng responded: "The masters are just worried that they will not be able to make money if they pay so much. It is normal and understandable for them to have such worries, so for the sake of big and small taxis
Regarding the concerns of the masters, we can organize an 'experience week' activity to let everyone experience it first."
"Experience week?"
Xu Qianjin was a little confused.
"Even if it's a one-week short-term rental," Liu Jianfeng said with a smile: "The drivers and masters are unwilling to sign a long-term rental agreement, just because they have doubts about our words. The solution to this problem is actually simple. The so-called 'listen to the ear'
"Seeing is believing", we let the driver masters rent it for a week for a short period of time, so that they can experience the advantages and disadvantages of this car and see if they can really earn more than before. Let the driver masters judge for themselves.
If after this week has passed, the masters feel that the car is okay and a good deal, then they will sign a long-term rental agreement. If they think it is not a good deal, they will not rent it."
"That's it..."
After hearing what Liu Jianfeng said, everyone below looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
These CEOs and vice presidents of taxi companies in various cities across the province have their own little calculations in mind. Didn’t we just say that for those who don’t have a car and want to work in the taxi industry, taxi companies are all
I first bought a low-end car at a low price, then modified the car to comply with the taxi operating rules, and then rented it to the taxi driver at a high price.
We all just emphasized so many difficulties. Is it really because the taxi driver is unhappy?
Yes, but not entirely.
Taxi drivers have their own worries and concerns. This is normal. But the CEOs and vice-presidents of taxi companies in various cities and cities present here do not have their own little calculations and calculations? That's more.
Of course, they didn't have any bad intentions. Everyone emphasized the difficulties so much. They just saw that Huateng Industrial Group seemed to be easy to talk to, and they got excited and wanted to take this opportunity to get more from Huateng Industrial Group.
Benefits, but I didn’t expect that Huateng Industrial Group actually said that we can rent the car directly to taxi drivers. What else can we do with this?
Xu Qianjin didn't expect such a result. This was not what he wanted...
After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly became excited and said quickly: "This...Assistant Liu, it's actually not that troublesome..."
"No trouble, what's the trouble," Liu Jianfeng said with a smile: "Our President Zhang said that although you are either a company in which we have a stake or a company in which our partners have a stake, we must give everyone full respect.
, We fully understand everyone's difficulties. If you really have difficulties, we can also consider setting up several small taxi companies separately."
As soon as Liu Jianfeng said these words, everyone was even more unable to calm down: What? Huateng Industrial Group is actually considering setting up a separate taxi company?
This situation greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.
Xu Qianjin, for example, knew that Huateng Industrial Group had always looked down on the little money they could make by running a taxi company. When the city adjusted and restructured the taxi industry, it was economically difficult, and it was the leaders of the transportation system who personally found it.
After asking Zhang Qihang to intercede, Huateng Industrial Group agreed to buy individual shares.
The situation of some other companies present is similar. They all have more or less shares in Huateng Industrial Group or companies related to Huateng Industrial Group. For example, Black Panther Motors is the second owner of Liu Wei’s Donglai City Taxi Company.
The second largest shareholder. Because of this reason, everyone subconsciously felt that it was impossible for Huateng Industrial Group to operate a taxi company. However, Liu Jianfeng’s words made everyone completely sober: Huateng Industrial Group does not directly operate a taxi company.
, that is to leave a bowl of rice for everyone, and I hope that everyone can give face when needed, but this does not mean that when everyone does not give face, Huateng Industrial Group cannot do anything...
But there were also people who were not convinced. I didn’t know who it was, and they muttered in a moderate voice: "The taxi industry is not that easy to work in..."
Obviously, this was meant for Liu Jianfeng.
Faced with what could be said to be a threat or a reminder, Liu Jianfeng was not angry or annoyed, but nodded with a smile: "Of course, any industry is not that easy to work in, but this project is of great significance to our group.
It's very important, so our Mr. Zhang said that although we have no plans to open a taxi company for the time being, if it comes to the point of need, it won't be a problem. Although we have no experience in operating a taxi company, we and Langya City
, Shungeng City and Donglai City are both good. First, we need a taxi license in these cities, and then we will conduct a green environmental protection pilot. I believe the leaders will still give us this face.
As long as the license is obtained and there is no manpower, we will directly recruit people from the local taxi companies. Find out which local taxi company's vice president is more powerful and directly recruit people..."
Speaking of this, Liu Jianfeng paused for a moment and saw that many people's faces changed.
Seeing the effect, Liu Jianfeng smiled secretly in his heart, and then continued: "But our Mr. Zhang also said that it is best not to do this. We also believe that everyone can understand our difficulties and support our work. After all,
Speaking of which, we are also a family, don’t you think so?”
After hearing Liu Jianfeng's words, everyone understood that this was Huateng Industrial Group's warning to themselves and others about their previous attitude. They secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly expressed their stance...
"Yeah."
"Assistant Liu is saying that we are all a family..."
"If our group has needs, we will definitely give our full support..."
…………
Although everyone is living a comfortable life, who wants to have one more competitor in this industry? Isn’t it good for everyone to live a comfortable life?
It would be fine if a guy with no following comes in. Everyone can always unite to deal with him. But if a big crocodile like Huateng Industrial Group comes in, it will be troublesome.
Directly turning the local taxi market upside down is not what everyone wants to see.
Now Assistant Liu Jianfeng has made it clear that as long as you cooperate, we will not set up a separate taxi company. Having said that, who still doesn't understand the importance Huateng Industrial Group attaches to this matter? Who dares to make an assassination?
Looking at everyone who had calmed down, Liu Jianfeng also had a smile on his face: That's right. He said with a smile: "Thank you, thank you all. On behalf of our Mr. Zhang, I would like to thank you all for your understanding and support of our work."
, By the way, although our test driver will not arrive until evening, if you are interested in our car, I can also arrange a test drive for you this afternoon."
Can I try it out first?
Everyone who had just breathed a sigh of relief suddenly felt a little excited when they heard Liu Jianfeng's words: Although the veteran driver of his unit will come tomorrow, but having said that, if he can experience it for himself, he will understand that Huateng Industrial Group attaches so much importance to this
What is so good about this car? Why do they attach so much importance to this car? Wouldn’t it be better?
After understanding this, everyone responded one after another and expressed their desire to participate in the next test drive.
————————————
The next day, in the afternoon, in front of the office building of Huateng Industrial Group, Master Sun asked Xu Qianjin in a low voice: "Mr. Xu, is there anything I need to pay attention to during today's test run?"
Master Sun was a little confused. It was just a test drive event for Huateng Sylphy. Why did the company specially transfer it? Is there something unexplainable in this? So to be cautious, he carefully asked Xu Qianjin if he needed me to drive.
What to do when the time comes?
Xu Qianjin was shocked by Master Sun's words.
If Huateng Industrial Group had not set up a taxi company as a "plan B", Xu Qianjin might actually have asked Master Sun to do something during today's test drive event. However, with Liu Jianfeng's "reminder" yesterday, plus
After yesterday's test drive event, he had no idea at all. He should just cooperate with Huateng Group honestly. Anyway, if he cooperated honestly, he and his unit would have no losses, right?
Fearing that Master Sun would misunderstand what he meant, he lowered his voice, but said extremely seriously: "Old Sun, for today's test ride, you can drive as you please."
Master Sun was stunned when he heard this, and confirmed with Xu Qianjin again: "You can drive it however you want?"
"Yes, just drive how you want to drive," Xu Qianjin repeated again and said, "You don't need to deliberately save fuel, and you don't need to deliberately step on the accelerator. How you usually drive a taxi is how you drive today."
"I know," Master Sun nodded, hesitated, and asked again: "But I usually drive a manual transmission, but you just said that this car is an automatic transmission, and this... is an automatic transmission.
How to open it, we don’t know.”
Hearing Master Sun's words, Xu Qianjin was a little numb, wasn't he? Every one of the taxi drivers in the company had been manual transmission drivers for many years, and they were all using manual transmissions to get away.
Of course, you have to ask them if they can drive automatic transmission? That must be no problem. They can drive manual transmission, so why can’t they drive automatic transmission?
But having said that, it is one thing to be able to drive an automatic transmission, but it is another thing to be able to drive an automatic transmission well. It is like driving a manual transmission car. It is one thing to be able to drive a manual transmission, but it is another thing to be able to drive a manual transmission car.
If it's fast, fuel-efficient and smooth, that's another story. What should we do in this situation?
