Lin Family, Lin Feng.
"Young Master, Lin Tianshen hasn’t made a move."
Housekeeper Jia whispered in response.
"That old fox."
Lin Feng showed a slight disappointnt, then smiled: "But, never mind, I wasn’t counting on just this little trick to make him fall for it!"
Lin Feng, of course, knew the relationship between Lin Qian and Lin Tianshen.
He could easily guess that once Lin Qian found out that the guy was Lu Xiaobu, he would definitely call Lin Tianshen.
However, whether Lin Tianshen acted or not, if it was only Lu Xiaobu, it didn’t really matter much; it was rely a choice of keeping so cards hidden or revealing them!
But!
Don’t forget!
There’s still another person involved!
Black Rose, Xue Lin, soone from the Xue Family in Imperial!
Moreover, Black Rose was the cause of this incident!
So, once Lin Tianshen made a move, regardless of whether the Xue Family was willing or not, they would be drawn in!
By then, the space for maneuver would significantly expand!
Of course, Lin Tianshen ultimately chose not to act, slightly disappointing but also reasonable!
"How is Black Rose’s mood?"
Lin Feng asked again.
"Very irritable."
Housekeeper Jia thought for a mont and offered this word.
"Irritable? That’s good! It ans she can no longer control herself in front of Lu Xiaobu! This also indicates that the big thing is about to succeed!"
Lin Feng touched his freshly grown stubble, revealing a hint of a satisfied smile.
Lu Xiaobu, oh Lu Xiaobu, this ti you are going to lose to completely!
With such a beautiful woman right in front of you, how can you not be tempted?!
If you’re not tempted, then why are you giving her so much attention today?!
...
The hottest news on the market right now is still the battle between Didi Ride and Taxi Bar apps!
Both are showing their skillsets, offering various coupons, and engaging in aggressive marketing with frenzied investnts!
But, just as Black Rose had anticipated, they are least afraid of a protracted battle!
So, under Black Rose Company’s five or even tenfold investnt!
Taxi Bar managed to break even in a situation where it was originally at a disadvantage!
In other words, both sides’ market shares have returned to 50% each!
However, there are drawbacks.
The Lu Group has barely spent billions during this period, while Black Rose Company has already spent hundreds of billions!
This has led to a situation!
A situation not particularly favorable to Black Rose Company.
That is, the liquidity of Lu Group and Black Rose Group is now quite similar!
However, other industries of the Lu Group continue generating profits, whereas Black Rose Company is losing money with every move!
It is believed that soon, a decisive showdown will occur.
"Lu Xiaobu, soon! Very soon! We will finally decide the winner!" Black Rose said, clenched in her chair.
Why is she so frantic?
Why is she willing to invest tenfold to target Lu Xiaobu?!
It’s because she can’t wait any longer!
She already cannot continue waiting!
She wants an answer!
Just recently, she wants an answer!
...
A few more days passed.
Soon, both ride-hailing apps that were in a fierce competition received nurous negative reviews simultaneously!
These negative reviews existed before, but they were not taken seriously!
However, as both companies grew larger, these issues surfaced!
The crux was—with plenty of passengers, where were the cars?!
The source of vehicles was insufficient! Far from enough!
"What a useless app! I’ve requested a car, and no one has accepted the order for half an hour?! Two buses have already passed!"
"Damn it! What kind of drivers are these?! They’re all acting superior! Damn it! Uninstall, uninstall!"
"Crap! Total crap! Searching within ten kiloters, and not even one car, what’s up? Is the priority only for the first-tier cities?!"
"What the hell is this?! Can’t get a ride!? Is there a problem with your system?!"
"Is this what you call convenience?! I’d rather hail a taxi!"
"Seriously convinced! What is this? Just focusing on promotion and not on follow-up?!"
"Is it still working? There are plenty of coupons, but no cars can be found, what’s the point, maybe I’ll get a small coupon?!"
"Get a small coupon? Dream on! It will just expire!"
"Lu Xiaobu, you’re playing this too? I trusted you so much!"
"..."
The initial focus of both sides was on acquiring passenger sources rather than vehicle sources.
At first, when passengers were few, it was relatively manageable!
But as both sides expanded, and the number of passengers grew larger!
It showed a scenario of supply not eting demand!
What was supposed to be a convenient and fast online ride service turned inconvenient!
Moreover, the abundance of unusable coupons led to increasingly irritable user emotions!
In conclusion, the fierce market grab by both companies, though initially beneficial,
end: Created chaos by leaving the market unregulated!
A situation of mutual destruction appeared!
This mutual destruction was not just talk, but if both sides couldn’t solve this problem shortly, their ultimate fate would be leaving the stage, replaced by new ride-hailing apps!
This is what neither party wants to see!
...
Black Rose Company.
"What’s the situation? Is there a solution?" Black Rose asked, looking at the company’s leaders with a frown.
They had discussed this problem for three days, yet a solution remains elusive.
"President Xue, our proposal is still the sa, to increase financial input and provide more coupon benefits for car sources."
A manager stood up and said:
"Even if we can’t secure more car sources, we can at least grab existing ones from Lu Xiaobu! Once they collapse, we’d dominate the market and can slowly recover funds!"
"Let think about this further, talk about other possibilities."
Black Rose rubbed her tightly knitted brows.
Financial input?!
Easy to say!
There’s only so much total funding, having spent so much initially, they now don’t dare make any big moves!
Otherwise, it might end up backfiring on them!
So may suggest attracting investors!
However, the problem is, investors are not fools!
If given a choice between Lu Xiaobu or Black Rose, they’d choose Lu Xiaobu every ti!
After all, even if Lu Xiaobu loses, his other industries can continually generate profits, ensuring their investnts remain secure!
But if they invest in Black Rose Company and lose, that would indeed an total, irrecuperable loss!
Because Black Rose’s entire assets are tied up in joint paynts and online ride-hailing, it is an all-or-nothing gamble!
