The first thousand three hundred and sixty-three chapters
Everyone knows that under the helm of Chen Chu, Chen Chu, as the founder and major shareholder, has absolute influence on Chuke Technology.
But just like Microsoft today, although everyone knows how influence Bill Gates has on Microsoft, Bill Gates, who has retired from Microsoft's president, is inevitably declining in control of Microsoft.
Now Microsoft is in the Ballmer era. Although this is in line with the Bill Gates era, it is different after all.
The same is true for Chuke technology. Wu Xingdao and Du Jianzhao have proved their strength over the years, and they are already at the top level of professional managers in China.
But this is different from Chen Chu after all. Once Chen Chu is determined to return to Chuke technology, it will directly affect Chuke technology, rather than indirectly affecting Chuke technology through Wu Xingdao, Zeng Yuanli, Du Jianzhao and others. Then, for the entire Chuke technology, it will probably be a big change.
The situation of technology giants such as Time Warner AOL and Yahoo does not indicate how much impact the changes in the founders or management of these companies will have, which can be said to have a single impact on the whole body.
With Chuke technology, this influence will be greater. Countless reporters and media footage at the press conference appeared on Chen Chu. Even Li Xing, who was completely robbed of attention, could not help but look at Chen Chu.
This matter is related to not only a few people, but the entire Chuke technology will probably be affected. Even Li Xing himself will be greatly affected.
In the past, Chuke Technology had its major industries. From its headquarters to major industries, it was basically managed by various persons in charge. For example, SG Games, Renren Technology, Wu Xingdao, and Du Jianzhao had absolute management authority. Oriental Net, Autohome, Lianzhong Games, etc., Chen Chu also gave Accountant Cao, Li Xing, Bao Yueqiao and others sufficient authority.
Although some senior executives and personnel and important funding projects require Chen Chu's consent to proceed, for Li Xing and others, they still have absolute control over major industries. Compared with more than 90% of professional managers in China and even abroad, they live much better.
Seeing the sudden gaze of the audience, Chen Chu looked at him, "I believe in the abilities of the heads of various technical departments of Chuke. They have also proved their strength. I believe that in the future, under the leadership of President Wu Xingdao and Jian Zhao, they will be better than before!"
When Li Xing, who was on the stage, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Chu's words would not change the current pattern of Chuke's technology, and would not change within at least a few years.
After saying a few words, Chen Chu brought the attention of the audience back to the scene. Although the cooperation between Autohome and Hertz will definitely not be on the technology and the headlines and hot searches in the financial industry, it still needs to be reported.
The cooperation between Autohome and Hertz has almost always been attracted by the sudden division between Time Warner and AOL, but the comprehensive cooperation between Autohome and Hertz has still begun.
After reaching a cooperation agreement with Autohome, Hertz had almost no concealment, just as he was about to swallow the domestic car rental market.
The first thing is to place orders for vehicles worth more than US$680 million from the eight major domestic auto manufacturers in one go, and orders worth more than RMB5 billion, which made the entire domestic auto industry completely boil.
Although most of these orders were taken away by several joint ventures such as GM and Ford, the rest of the car brands also received some orders.
The key is that this is just the first batch of orders. In order to occupy the domestic market, Hertz Company will have to invest at least more than 200,000 vehicles in China in the future to occupy half of the domestic car rental market.
In the future, Hertz will order a large number of new cars every year, which is definitely a huge opportunity for the domestic automobile industry.
When purchasing a large number of vehicles and setting up stores and warehouses in first- and second-tier cities in China, Hertz was aggressive from the beginning. With the full support of Autohome, Hertz was quite arrogant and forced to force several major domestic car rental companies to resist it. After all, Hertz was simply suppressing them with huge funds and strength.
Although Hertz did not start an attack on car rental in the general mass market from the beginning, it began to seize the car market for various high-end events such as airports, stations, hotels, tourism, weddings, etc. These are the most profitable markets.
With the full support of Autohome and the help of Chuke technology to solve problems in terms of problems such as technology, customer service, etc., Hertz has no worries, which has made Hertz perform very strong from the beginning.
Not to mention that Hertz has upended the entire domestic car rental industry. Hertz has not yet launched large-scale discount activities. That was the most fierce competition in the car rental industry.
The introduction of Hertz company into the domestic Autohome is naturally a hated by many domestic car rental platforms. Is it still alive in China?
Especially several large platforms, each guarding the market. Although there are also shit-making sticks, the competition is not too great for the entire car rental industry.
But now it’s different. A giant crocodile poured into the pond where a few big fish were originally moving. You can imagine what the reaction was, and you can also imagine how he hated Autohome!
However, in the face of the grievances of the domestic car rental industry, Autohome did not care about this market. Even if Hertz does not come in, Autohome might enter in the future.
Not to mention Chen Chu understood that the concept of Internet travel will emerge in a few years. At that time, if the Internet and traditional travel are combined, the Internet will be in a time when the competition is fierce, even taxi companies will have to go online to meet the trend.
At that time, whether it is Hertz now or YiHi, Shenzhou and other car rental platforms, they may have to take off a layer of skin at that time. Now it is just a slight witch.
Hertz entered the domestic market with a high profile and carried out car rental business in the country in a booming manner. Autohome is not as harassed as Hertz, but it has not stopped.
After receiving the large amount of money invested by Hertz, Autohome immediately accelerated the construction of the chain 4S flagship store. Before the end of this year, it will officially allow Autohome's platform to achieve the goal of covering 400 cities in China.
The entire Autohome is like a sports car full of gasoline, and it began to roar and roar quickly and rushed forward. All the people in the Autohome understand that when the entire Autohome plan is completed, it will be the time when the Autohome officially starts to go on the market!
Take a look at the departments that have already been listed and are about to go public. Almost all employees are rewarded with equity. There is no need to mention Oriental.com, which can almost be called lucky ones. When Oriental went public, those employees realized their financial freedom, while those few received salary for several years.
There are also Daewoo Games, Tianya, Maopu, etc. that are about to be launched. A large number of people have become millionaires or even billionaires, which is enough to stimulate countless people in the Auto Home.
In addition to accelerating the establishment of 4S chain flagship stores, Autohome has also announced the formal establishment of a used car trading platform and offline trading market!
The outside world was not too surprised by the emergence of this news. Everyone knew that it would be a matter of time sooner or later. With the largest domestic automobile user platform, Autohome has already gained an absolute advantage in the first car trading market. It is almost a foregone conclusion to enter the second-hand car trading industry.
It is not that Autohome is insatiable and has to focus on the second-hand car cake, but that it is necessary to prevent problems before it happens. If Autohome does not occupy this market, sooner or later other platforms will occupy this market.
Let’s not talk about how much profit can you get from a second-hand car platform. But if which platform occupies the used car market in the future, will it take advantage of the momentum to enter the first-hand car trading market and start a competition with Autohome?
This kind of thing will definitely happen without thinking. When the domestic automobile industry enters saturation, second-hand car circulation will definitely become a mainstream market, and this will also be a big market. The key is that it may become another information platform.
This is what Autohome focuses on. In order to solve the problems of future troubles, even if you occupy a pit and don’t poop, Autohome will take down this market and start first and do not give futurers a way out, otherwise it will be digging a pit for itself.
However, the used car trading market is too deep. Various tricks are much deeper than the first car transaction. I will never know what the car that appears in front of me has experienced. In fact, it is like opening a blind box. Even if there are so-called professional monitors and evaluation agencies to inspect, as long as it is operated by people, there will be loopholes in the end.
Therefore, the second-hand car platform that Autohome will establish is independently operated as a new platform, and has no business dealings with Autohome!
This is to keep the Autohome brand as much as possible, and in addition, sign a complete insurance compensation agreement with insurance institutions. If you enter this industry, you will not be able to make it at all without the support of insurance institutions.
Compared with other existing used car platforms, in order to sell the collected inventory cars, they do everything they can. Different methods have been used. After the second-hand car platform established by Autohome still wants to lead the establishment of a brand new used car market.
The new platform has added vehicle review procedures, including asking vehicle testing institutions, insurance companies and relevant institutions in the automotive industry, and three inspection mechanisms to try to give purchasers to users and know the specific information about the vehicle they want to buy. As for whether to buy or not, the platform will give a fair evaluation and recommendation.
There is no doubt that the cost of used car platforms launched by Autohome is much higher than that of used car platforms of the turf team, but the corresponding vehicle protection, acquisition and maintenance, insurance and other aspects will also enter a new era.
