January 1, 2011, New Year's Day, a very festive holiday.

At least for most people, it is festive enough because they can have three days of rest.

However, for all employees of Xiaoshuidi Company, they will not be able to enjoy this holiday this year.

Not only that, it is foreseeable that the entire company will be highly busy until the Chinese New Year.

The reason is also very simple. Just today, the Didi taxi app was officially launched on all major software download platforms.

The Android App Store, Apple App Store and various mobile phone download stores have successively launched the Didi Taxi app.

Lu Heng came to Xiaoshuidi Company in person early in the morning to show how much he valued it.

Li Huabing was not surprised by Lu Heng's arrival and chatted with Lu Heng in the office about work matters.

Especially the future of Didi Taxi and some problems that may arise, this will always be a knot in Li Huabing's mind that he can't let go of.

Compared with the launch of the Youzi website and the launch of the Ele.me app, this functional software launched by Lu Heng is no longer unknown, but has attracted the attention of countless people from the beginning.

Not only that, but it also attracted the attention of many industry leaders.

After all, the company spent tens of millions of dollars on a month-long publicity bombing, from online to offline, just to become a blockbuster!

Of course, it is still too early to say if there will be any significant effects.

After all, this software requires a huge number of users to support it, not only drivers, but also more importantly passengers.

And these all take a certain amount of time to accumulate.

The so-called effect also requires a large number of cases to be reflected.

However, although Didi Taxi has just been born and the specific effects cannot be seen, it does not affect it. Some knowledgeable people have judged it.

In Hangzhou, within Alibaba Group, Alipay has an independent office area.

Alipay, which was once dependent on Taobao, is now independent and of its own.

The person in charge is Peng Lei, who has dealt with Lu Heng before.

At this time, Peng Lei had just returned from outside. She had led her team to negotiate with several small banks to introduce them to Alipay's online payment system.

This is something that must be done. For the future development of Alipay, in addition to continuously expanding the market and having a huge number of users, it also needs to include major banks as much as possible.

Only in this way can users be provided with more choices.

After all, not everyone uses cards from big banks.

After Peng Lei returned to the company, she subconsciously glanced upstairs. This time, Alipay had added several more bank partners. She had made a contribution.

That man should be satisfied with his work efficiency!

As soon as this idea came to mind, Peng Lei immediately shook her head.

"We can't be complacent. Wherever we have come, the company still has a long way to go. And in that man's eyes, my achievements are probably not worth mentioning!"

Thinking like this, suddenly there was some commotion outside.

Peng Lei walked out of the office with the still steaming coffee cup, and then she realized that the person she had just mentioned came down in person.

"Boss, why are you here?"

Peng Lei was a little surprised. She remembered that Ma Yun had just returned to China and should be handling various things in Alibaba Group now!

Just like various pictures on the Internet, Ma Yun seems to always be smiling when she appears in front of everyone.

It seems a bit funny at first glance, but after a few more glances, I find that it is full of affinity.

Pursing her mouth, raising the corners of her mouth slightly, and bulging the muscles of her cheeks, Ma Yun waved her hand.

"Peng Lei, I heard that you have found several more banking partners for the company. Congratulations!"

Peng Lei held the cup and felt it was not appropriate. She welcomed Ma Yun into her office and shook her head modestly.

"This is what I should do, it's my duty."

Within the company, Ma Yun has always been very free and easy. This is related to the fact that he maintains frequent contact with employees and everyone is familiar with him.

Walking to the floor-to-ceiling windows and looking at this charming city, Ma Yun smiled and said: "You did a good job indeed! Alipay separated from Taobao and became its own company. No one knows that such a company is mainly focused on the payment system.

How far can we go? But with your efforts, no one dares to underestimate Alipay now."

Peng Lei, who was steady and generous in front of outsiders, felt a little excited when she heard the boss's praise.

But while she was excited, she was also curious. If Ma Yun came here in person, she wouldn't just praise herself!

Seeing the curiosity shown by this intellectual woman, Ma Yun pondered slightly, and then explained her purpose.

"Has our company established a cooperative relationship with a company that makes a travel platform?"

Peng Lei raised her eyebrows and understood instantly.

"Xiaoshuidi Company, their product is Didi Taxi, and they did reach a cooperative relationship with us three months ago. What's wrong? Is there any problem in this cooperation?"

Ma Yun waved her hand, "The problem doesn't exist. It's just that I saw their promotion recently and it reminded me of this matter. It's good that we have a cooperative relationship with them. This will facilitate our next plan."

Peng Lei looked at the other party in surprise, "Boss, do you mean to invest in them?"

Ma Yun looked at this smart woman, nodded approvingly and said: "Yes, let's establish this line through a cooperative relationship first. If there is a good opportunity in the future, we can invest in Didi Dache and obtain a certain share of the shares."

"Is the boss very optimistic about this company?"

"Don't you think so?"

Faced with the boss's rhetorical question, Peng Lei gave the answer affirmatively without any hesitation.

"Of course I am optimistic about it. With Hengcheng Group as its backer, this company has unlimited potential!"

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but think of that young man.

"Moreover, I admire the boss of Xiaoshuidi Company very much. He is a man with great vision and courage. Under his hands, births rarely fail."

"Are you talking about that young man Lu Heng?" Ma Yun smiled, "He is indeed very outstanding. Especially judging from the principles you believe in, successful people will always be successful. His experience can make all investors feel more confident."

Note code."

Ma Yunhu changed her subject, "But in my opinion, the perspective of thinking about problems should not just start from the perspective of people. The reason why I want to invest in Didi Taxi is more about the group's investment layout and the Alibaba ecosystem.

The construction of the environment.”

Hearing this, Peng Lei frowned, a little confused.

Ma Yun crossed her arms and said with great confidence: "In the future, the competition among Internet giants will no longer be about users and profits, but the construction of the ecosystem. This is a concept I proposed two years ago. I think it will be

You heard me say that too."

Peng Lei nodded subconsciously. Ma Yun had indeed mentioned these things and was actually doing so.

In the past, there were only a few giants in China's Internet field. They were each doing their own thing, and they were clearly differentiated.

Baidu does search, Tencent does instant messaging, and Alibaba focuses on e-commerce.

However, as the business landscape becomes larger and larger, with cross-contacts and intense competition, the war has gradually begun, and everyone is rapidly growing themselves by relying on their monopoly position in their respective fields.

Baidu continues to invest in the fields of medical care, catering, and artificial intelligence, and Tencent's industrial circle has expanded into the entertainment, film and television industries. And Alibaba, after opening up the payment field, has continued to invest and acquire various potential companies with its huge funds.

There are countless wars here.

"As long as we are human, we cannot do without the four words of food, clothing, housing and transportation! If our group wants to establish its own ecosystem, in addition to relying on e-commerce, we must also start in other fields. Ele.me is an obvious food field.

, Didi Taxi is a rising star in the travel industry." Ma Yun said calmly, her eyes flickering as she spoke.

"Tencent is not sure yet, but it is obvious that Baidu has realized this. They have launched Baidu Takeout and are developing in the direction of intelligent driverless driving. It can be said that our opponents are not short-sighted.

, then we have to speed up."

Peng Lei thoughtfully said, "So you asked me to invest in Ele.me in the name of Alipay. Today, Didi Taxi was even mentioned. In other words, investing in Didi Taxi is definitely something we must do.

Right?"

Ma Yun smiled and nodded. Many things can be understood by everyone once they are explained.

"For Ele.me and Didi Taxi, promoting Alipay is just a purpose, investment will be imperative, and if possible, acquisition is not impossible when the time is right."

Having said this, Ma Yun paused suddenly.

"Actually, I would rather invest in Hengcheng Group than Didi Taxi, a new emerging technology. However, that young man is keeping a close eye on it. He would rather develop steadily than experience explosive growth after the influx of huge amounts of money. I have to say.

, he is a very smart person with his own persistence."

Peng Lei opened her eyes wide. She rarely heard her boss praise young entrepreneurs like this, and it happened twice in a row.

Very outstanding and smart, every word comes from his mouth himself.

Peng Lei pursed her lips, wondering if Lu Heng would be flattered when he heard these comments.

After all, this is Ma Yun!

Whether Lu Heng will be flattered or not is unknown.

Maybe he will be happy, after all, no matter who affirms him, that person will also be happy.

But Lu Heng will definitely not show it on his face. He has the ability to change his expression.

A few days later, Li Huabing was a little flattered.
