After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 203 Opening up

Ofo's spokesperson came out to clarify immediately that General Manager Dai Wei went to the United States only to investigate the European and American markets for a period of one month. There was no talk of a bankruptcy. We hope that all users will not be misled by people with ulterior motives.

They will definitely refund the users' deposit, but it will still take a week for review.

Lao Jia was also warned at the first opportunity to take care of his LeTV and not to meddle in other people's business.

"None of your business. This bastard has taken the path I was going to take." Old Jia was full of resentment.

If Dai Wei does not come back, potential high-risk people like him will definitely not be able to apply to leave the country in a short period of time.

He could only find a way to hold on for another year or two, at least until the impact of Dai Wei's escape was reduced to a minimum.

At the same time, the remaining shared bicycle companies in the market, such as Mobike and ofo, have tacitly raised their prices.

The price has been raised from 30 yuan per 1 minutes to 20 yuan per 1 minutes, which means that this money-burning war has come to a temporary end.

If one person runs away, the entire industry will have to clean up his mess. There is no point in continuing to compete. A week later, winter will be coming.

However, they were 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."

The day after Dai Wei left the country, many topics about ofo's inability to withdraw deposits became hot searches on the entire Internet.

The spokesperson made another statement, but this time he apologized to the majority of users and said that the company's operations were indeed facing difficulties.

Dai Wei went to the United States to seek a solution, and he hoped that users could give them some time.

The deposits of a total of 2020.12 million users will definitely be refunded in full, but it will take a little time and a little patience.

Half an hour after the announcement was released, someone suddenly discovered the deposit refund interface and the number of people queuing began to appear.

"Shit, 8250124 digits. Can someone help me count them? How many zeros are there? In my lifetime?"

"You can laugh at the fact that I only have over 16023502 million. Look at me, I have people. This is what it means to live a lifetime."

"No way, no way? Is there something garbled on your queue interface? Why am I ranked 825th?"

"You show-off bastard, take him out and chop him up."

Dai Wei absconded, ofo collapsed, and the deposit could not be recovered. It was a fait accompli, and netizens could only use ridicule to hide their sadness.

As a result, more and more people saw the relevant news and logged into the app to apply for the refund of their deposit.

Ofo simply started and directly told every user who wanted to refund their deposit the specific ranking, which would be refreshed every morning, and the highest one would be after 2000 million.

It also announced that the rule that bicycles cannot be used during the deposit refund period has been cancelled, and it is hoped that users will ride more often in the future to help get the deposit refunded as soon as possible.

It’s not that they won’t pay it back, it just takes some time.

"Zinima, refund the money!"

"Damn it, no one cares?"

"Click this link to speed up the queue."

For a while, ofo's official comment section was in chaos and a variety of comments were made, and Pinxixi users also came to join in the fun.

Since receiving a $500 million investment from Penguin, Pinxixi's strategy of cutting prices has spread across the entire Internet like a virus.

Unexpectedly, the netizens’ complaints came true. Not long after, ofo introduced the link to the Pinxixi mall.

Holding a "cut-down" event can speed up the queue for refunds.

"Fuck, it's the opposite of Tian Gang."

“Who is in charge of ofo? Why are they so good at making trouble?”

"The core team and investors have all quit, and it is said that the project has been entrusted to professional managers."

Suddenly, an Internet unicorn company was reduced to a low-end social enterprise.

Countless netizens also vented their dissatisfaction in the comment section, saying that their 99 yuan or 199 yuan was really gone.

"Chunchun is just playing badly."

Lu Liang laughed and silently clicked on the deposit refund interface. Since he applied later, he was ranked after 2000 million.

I opened Mobike’s mobile app again, and as expected, Meituan’s management successfully seized this huge wave of traffic.

For Mobike users, it takes 7 days to refund the deposit of a shared bike using the Mobike APP, but it only takes an hour to refund using the Meituan APP. Sometimes it only takes a few minutes or even more than ten minutes to quickly refund the 299 yuan deposit.

Such efficiency is in stark contrast to ofo, just like the poor students and the top students in the class, which has attracted praise from countless netizens.

It can be said that Meituan added millions of new users without spending a penny, not only gaining a good market reputation, but also integrating Mobike into Meituan extremely smoothly.

It has become the biggest winner of ofo’s bankruptcy.

"Is ofo really over?" Xiao Wang was in a daze.

Recalling that at the beginning of last month, ofo's valuation was US$5.5 million, but now it is worthless.

"Who dares to take over now?" Lu Liang couldn't help laughing.

After all, taking over means taking responsibility for returning the deposits of more than 20 million users, as well as more than one billion yuan in payment for goods.

At least 40 to 50 billion yuan would be needed at one time, but such a huge amount of money could only be used to buy back the infamous ofo.

Anyone with a brain would not invest in this. Institutions that have invested before, such as Didi, Ali, and Jingwei, can only curse their bad luck.

Especially Ali, who has established himself as the industry's dark lamp, making countless startups love and fear their investments in him.

Wang Xiaocong was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Panda, will you become like this in the future?"

Seeing Lu Liang shaking his head, Xiao Wang was delighted, but before he could be happy, he heard Lu Liang say: "Ofo still has 130 million shared bikes. Even without logistics maintenance, it can at least last for a year or two."

Xiao Wang looked grim: "That is to say, if it were a panda, it might not even last a year or two?"

"Isn't this obvious?" Lu Liang smiled, stretched, and planned to leave Disneyland today.

These two days, the park was crowded with people coming and going, and he suddenly wanted to go back to the company and be alone for a while in peace and quiet.

Xiao Wang stopped Lu Liang and asked anxiously, "What do you think of my last proposal?"

“Introducing LeTV?”

Lu Liang thought for a moment and said, "It's okay now. Dai Wei has set an example. Lao Jia shouldn't dare to run away in the short term."

"However, I still don't recommend doing this. Panda is not so poor that it can't afford to eat. There is no need for it to cooperate with LeTV."

Xiao Wang was hesitant to speak and watched Lu Liang leave. If Lu Liang did not support him, he would lose his biggest bargaining chip.

This July is very lively.

First, ofo collapsed, and then [Qin] delivered ahead of schedule.

Unlike Tesla, which shipped across the ocean, they were able to squeeze out only 50 cars for delivery.

BYD Qin's first batch is 3000 units, and it said that starting from next month, more than units will be delivered every month.

There are a total of 6.4 pre-orders for 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. Apart from the ugly interior and poor styling, their kinetic performance was very good, and their starting performance was not inferior to any first-line sports car.

The intelligent driving system is also the highlight of the car, including lane keeping, cruise driving, and courtesy to pedestrians and non-motor vehicles.

Originally, these functions might not be found in luxury cars worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, but now they appear on cars worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Lu Liang received the goods and asked Wen Chao to drive. The two came to the NIO Automobile Experience Hall. Although the hall was no longer empty, there was only one EP9 on display.

As soon as he arrived, Li Bing hurriedly called the engineers to dismantle the car and study it carefully, cursing: "Why do you always get the first batch of qualifications?"

If Tesla's delivery is intended to take advantage of Luliang's fame, then BYD does not need it and there is no need for it.

After all, it's just a car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"Maybe it's just luck."

Lu Liang smiled happily, feeling very proud. Of the more than 3000 units pre-ordered, were delivered in the first batch, and he got two of them.

This is pure luck.

Lu Liang also learned from NIO engineers that the world's current intelligent driving levels are divided into six levels, L0-L5.

Level L0, no autonomous driving, for example, a van worth or yuan, all operations are controlled by the driver.

Level L1, assisted driving, such as adaptive cruise control, automatically adjusts its speed and brakes according to the speed and distance of the vehicle in front.

Level L2, partial autonomous driving, realizing functions such as automatic lane changing, automatic parking, and automatic following.

BYD Qin's intelligent driving level is between L1 and L2.
