Silicon Valley

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

2008 is coming to an end, at this time, the whole of Africa has joined the "Weiyuan" system, so it's time to start action! Not long after, Henry sent invitations to African countries to come to the Williams Empire to hold a meeting of leaders of Weiyuan countries on January 10, 2009!

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

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

Eternal Emperor, Williams!

With this situation, it seems that people can't help but want to kneel in front of him and bow their heads in surrender!

...

A little bit of time passed, and Christmas arrived on December 25, 2008. On this day, the Uber mobile APP is grandly released!

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

Online, Uber has cooperated with hundreds of Internet companies, and its advertisements have appeared on platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Google, ICQ, Instagram, LinkedIn, WeChat, Weibo, etc. In addition, Uber advertisements are also recommended in Apple stores and Android stores. Page first.

"Uber is the cheapest and most convenient app to hail a taxi when you go out!!!"

"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 top 10 million registered users in the world, there will be a chance to draw a super prize of $1 million!!!"

"The best gift this Christmas - Uber taxi app, you deserve it!!!"

"..."

Uber's ads are overwhelming, and anyone using a smartphone or surfing the Internet will see them. For a while, the number of downloads of Uber increased sharply, and there were 2.345 million download users in just one hour. Three hours and five minutes later, the number of downloads exceeded 10 million!

Uber's taxi price surprised many people, not to mention the $10 coupon, the taxi price alone is nearly half cheaper than ordinary taxis!

"I'm going, isn't Uber afraid of losing money? I calculated it. If you use Uber to take a taxi, it only costs about 4.55 US dollars for more than 20 kilometers. If you take a taxi, it may cost 8 US dollars!" It's cheap!

"It's really cheap to take a taxi with Uber, and you can call a taxi in advance. I think everyone has experienced that when the traffic is busy, it's really difficult to hail a taxi!"

"Yeah, I often wait on the side of the road for a long time but can't get a taxi!"

"Under normal circumstances, an Uber car will arrive at the place where the car was called within three minutes. I think this time is quite fast, and I can afford to wait. If you are lucky, if the Uber car is nearby, it may not take a minute! !!"

"Actually, 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 with the price of a taxi, the $1 million lottery is also particularly attractive.

Although you have to draw a lottery from so many people, what if you are lucky and win it? So don't you become a millionaire?

The number of downloads on Uber kept increasing, reaching 10,000 by 6 pm, and by the end of the day, the total number of downloads exceeded 50 million, and the whole world couldn't help but look at it! ! !

Countless investment companies and Internet companies were astonished. Unexpectedly, a taxi-hailing software was born out of nowhere, and it was so awesome!

"It's so creative. Uber is the most creative Internet design in 2008. I admire this design by a talented designer!!!" commented a senior Internet expert in the United States.

A Wall Street investment banker shouted in shock: "Oh, God, in just one day, Uber has created a legend of 50 million, which is unbelievable! There is no doubt that it is the next unicorn !!! Oh no, it's not a unicorn, it's a super unicorn!!!"

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

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

"..."

The popularity of Uber immediately ignited the mobile internet taxi-hailing software market, and countless companies are ready to enter this industry!

In addition, Uber is a subsidiary of Tesla. As Tesla is a global auto giant, the existence of Uber can't help but make other auto giants feel a deep sense of crisis. Increasingly, the stock prices of automobile companies such as Toyota, Volkswagen, BMW, Daimler, and Ford have plummeted, while the stock prices of General Motors, which was acquired by Tesla, have increased significantly!

Vincent Jenkins, editor-in-chief of the famous American car magazine "Hot-Rod", pointed out the threat of Uber to other car companies! He believes, “Uber’s success is Tesla’s success. Uber’s monopoly on the global taxi-hailing market means that Tesla can sell more cars with the help of Uber! Moreover, the existence of Uber will inevitably reduce some people’s desire to buy cars. It has caused huge losses to other car companies. On the other hand, Tesla can earn more from Uber’s ride-hailing fees! Right now, taxi rides through mobile APPs are already unstoppable! Therefore, if Toyota, Volkswagen and other auto giants want to beat Tesla, for now, has no choice but to establish or support another ride-hailing software company to compete with Uber!!!”

In fact, Toyota, Volkswagen and other companies are discussing whether to develop taxi-hailing software similar to Uber in internal meetings, and several car companies even plan to cooperate together.

Obviously, there will be more than one Uber in the near future.

So? So what?

...

December 30, 2008, early morning.

Uber’s download users have reached 10,000, 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 still need to be vigorously developed! Therefore, Uber's growth momentum is still very rapid. Next year, there is no problem for Uber to exceed 100 million users.

And because of the rise of Uber, it is bound to take away a lot of business from taxi drivers. Many passengers would rather take an Uber and wait for a while than pay more for a taxi. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that it will not take long before the income of taxi drivers will drop sharply, and finally they will have to find another job. At this time, Uber gave them a chance to join Uber and become a full-time Uber driver. In this way, Uber can scale very quickly!

In addition, although at present, Uber is mainly in the car rental business, but through this entry point, Uber will soon become a one-stop travel platform covering multiple businesses such as taxis, private cars, express cars, ride-hailing, surrogate drivers, and buses.

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

...

After an unusual Christmas, 2008 will soon be over.

On January 1, 2009, the "Uber" LOGO image appeared on the annual cover of Time Magazine, and it was written on the side: "The most innovative mobile app in 2008 is the Uber taxi application software, designed by Henry Williams!"
