I want to make headlines

Chapter 179
"Warmly welcome A-Gump!"

"Welcome welcome, warm welcome!"

"Boss, you can issue an invoice!"

Contacting Uber through channels to express investment intentions, Gan Jing unexpectedly felt a familiar atmosphere when he arrived at their company the next day.

What is this sense of sight that the leaders of China in the 90s came to inspect?

Gan Jing secretly raised his vigilance in his heart. It seems that this company has a deeper routine than those before.

"Forrest Gump, I'm your fan." A 30-year-old white man wanted to give him a hug as soon as he came up.

Gan Jing quickly took the initiative to hold his hands, tried his best to stop his impulse, and said with a smile, "You are Kalanick, right? Nice to meet you."

Nice to meet you, nice to see you disheveled in this seedy office in the middle of nowhere!

Very good, I regret it!
As soon as he arrived at Uber's office, Gan Jing probably realized that this was a wrong move. He didn't see any sense of technology from this.

In the taxi before, he heard the master seriously sigh, saying that this Uber will definitely change the travel life, and it will be a perfect interaction between the mobile Internet and offline.

It sounds like practitioners in traditional industries are amazed by a new application that poses a threat to them. This has to arouse Gan Jing's curiosity, and thus learn more about it.

It's just that the huge gap in Uber's office at the moment makes him feel a little blind.

"Forrest Gump, hero Forrest Gump, welcome. Please come in, please come in. Another partner of mine is meeting with investors in New York, and he won't be back soon." Kalanick did not hide his joy.

"Uh, it's okay, it's okay." Gan Jing shook his head to express that he didn't mind, then turned his head and looked at the welcoming staff on both sides with a strange look, "What's going on?"

Kalanick heard the strangeness and said in surprise: "Don't you guys like this kind of welcome? I learned about it from a Huaxia Tong."

Shaking his lips, Gan Jing said in a deep voice, "He went to the wrong place..."

"Ah, come in and sit in. Forrest Gump, I watched your movie, but I'm a fan of you." Kalanick put on such a posture.

As a college dropout who has repeatedly failed to start a business, Kalanick has to be enthusiastic about investors, and therefore values ​​Forrest Gump, who suddenly crossed the industry.

As long as you can invest money, it doesn’t matter what you did before or what you will do in the future, as long as money is money.

"I heard someone mention Uber when I was taking a taxi, and I learned a little bit about it. Can you talk about your specific ideas and strategies?" Gan Jing had already given up in his heart, but even because of the polite attitude of the person in front of him , even if it's because he claims to be his fan, he can't just get up and leave immediately.

Kalanick turned from enthusiasm to excitement, but all entrepreneurs must be full of interest in their products, otherwise they will not be able to sustain the difficult mood of fighting in the business world.

Dropping out of school and starting a business, the path Kalanick chose has a predecessor who is the richest man in the world. He dreams of a similar direction, but after several years of starting a business, he has already struggled to survive.

His current entrepreneurial project Uber is a mobile application, which can instantly call vehicles through mobile phone software, which is convenient and fast.

It's easy to say, but not so easy to do.

American cars are very popular, and there are many ways to travel. It is difficult to implement the Uber software alone.

However, if you have money, it will be easy to handle.

After listening to Kalanick's methodical explanation, Gan Jing's heart changed a little. The person in front of him didn't look as unreliable as before.

In a few words, I explained the company's projects and strategies clearly, extra points!

In response to the popularity of cars in the United States, Kalanick's idea is to raise the level of car services provided by the company - not every American can afford a Lincoln city car, Cadillac, BMW, Mercedes-Benz...

Gan Jing was a little dumbfounded when he heard these words, feeling that this taxi is going to be like this now?
"Then how do you make money?" Gan Jing asked stupidly.

"Occupy the market first and then talk about making money!" Kalanick is quite straightforward, "Once the market is occupied, money will naturally come."

Seeing the skeptical look on Gan Jing's face, the white man continued to take out the market research data. According to their current testing situation, there is still a considerable market in California.

After a while, Gan Jing finally realized what he just said: "Do you mean to scale it up and conduct financing valuation?"

Kalanick laughed. That was the correct answer.

Gan Jing frowned, really surprised by Kalanick's straightforwardness, but also because of more points.

At least, this person didn't play himself as a fool.

No comparison, no harm, and Uber is quite sincere.

Gan Jing's previous desire to leave immediately has faded away. He took a look at the data, but he didn't understand it. After thinking for a while, he made a request: "Can I try it myself?"

"Huh?" Kalanick was surprised and hesitated. "We are still in the testing stage. Maybe the market feedback will not be so fast, and the vacancy rate will be relatively high."

"It's okay, I just have to try it myself to rest assured."

"That can."

What Gan Jing said was the truth, he always had to try it himself, that's why he went to the casino, opened a company, and came here.

……

The investor's request could not be ignored. A day later, Gan Jing drove into the Mercedes-Benz provided by Uber—Kalanick consciously ignored the fact that Forrest Gump did not have a driver's license.

Thus, actor Gan Jing turned into a driver and drove a brand new Mercedes-Benz to work on the streets of California.

The car is not difficult to drive, as long as you receive passengers, you will be on the right track. The key is that passengers are sometimes hard to find. Among the four waves of customers Gan Jing experienced, two of them were delayed for a long time because they could not find anyone.

After waiting for nearly a day, near dusk, Gan Jing slowly got used to this kind of work.

"It's over after taking the last order." He looked at the time and planned to end the day's experience work.

Soon, the last guest appeared, a black man.

The deep voice said the destination, Gan Jing responded and started the car.

Halfway through the journey, the black man who had been sitting quietly in the co-pilot suddenly said, "I know you."

"Huh?" Gan Jing was concentrating on driving.

"You are Forrest Gump." The black man said in an affirmative tone, "You are that Forrest Gump. I have read your "Mei Lanfang"."

At this moment, Gan Jing was really taken aback. In the Mercedes-Benz on the streets of California, a black man said that he had seen the Chinese art film "Mei Lanfang" starring him?
"Yes... I am." Gan Jing said hesitantly.

The black man looked a little strange, and said: "I have a good book, you can read it, maybe it is more suitable for you."

"..."

I'm Gan Jing, I'm an actor, even if I'm wearing a hat and overalls, and driving a car on the street, I can't hide the brilliance of my actor!
