Chapter 640 Boycott

Jiang Yang hesitated for a moment, then looked at Zhou Fei and said, "Brother Fei, there is something I want to tell you."

"Shouldn't it be some good news?" Zhou Fei asked with a smile seeing Jiang Yang's expression was a bit unsightly.

"I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but I think I still have to report to you." Jiang Yang paused, and then continued, "I was busy with car sharing two days ago, just with golf After chatting with Lao Sun, he casually mentioned to me that it was a taxi company in the Yangtze River Delta, and he has not placed an order with them until now..."

The further Jiang Yang spoke, the more worried he looked on his face.

"Do you suspect that this matter is related to our Mercedes-Benz subsidy plan?" Zhou Fei asked thoughtfully.

At present, domestic taxis are basically provided by Mercedes-Benz, Chunqi and Shenqi. In Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, Chunqi’s cars are mainly used. In the rest of the country, taxis are provided by Mercedes-Benz and Shenqi. To provide, of which the Mercedes-Benz Group accounted for the bulk.

The Mercedes-Benz Group mainly uses the Golf as a taxi, and most of the taxi companies in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai also prefer to use the Golf.

According to the practice of previous years, basically all taxi companies will determine the number of taxis they need before March, and then place orders directly with the golf company.

If it is true that according to what Jiang Yang said, there is no order for any car so far, then this matter is indeed a bit suspicious.

"I have this idea, but I'm not sure. You said that it's fine if there are only one or two companies that haven't placed an order. The key is that all the old customers before have done so, so it's a bit interesting. Brother Fei, what do you think? "

"Are you sure you didn't place an order with any taxi company?" Zhou Fei asked.

"That's what Lao Sun said at the time... I can't remember it, maybe I heard it wrong? Why don't you call Lao Sun and ask." Jiang Yang also replied with some uncertainty.

Zhou Fei's face also became serious. The [-] billion subsidy has been carried out for half a month. During this period of time, the taxi has not moved at all, which is a bit suspicious. Could it be that he is really holding back his big move?

"Wait a minute, I'll call Lao Sun." Zhou Fei then dialed the phone number of Sun Tianlong, the person in charge of golf.

About 3 minutes later, Zhou Fei hung up the phone, and his face became more and more serious, "It is true that no taxi company has placed an order. At this time in previous years, all the orders have already been taken."

"Maybe it's the car they didn't scrap this year. It's also possible." After Jiang Yang said this, even he himself thought it was unlikely. There was no such a coincidence.

"Then did you call to ask? Did Lao Sun inquire?" Jiang Yang asked again hastily.

"Old Sun made a few calls, some of them were pushy, and some of the companies didn't even answer the phone. According to me, this matter should not be that simple." Zhou Fei frowned even deeper.

In fact, the number of taxi orders per year is actually not many, that is, less than [-] vehicles. Without these orders, it will not affect the sales of golf at all, but the key is that behind this incident, there may be hidden Bigger crisis!
What's more, if these companies collectively give up ordering golf, it will have a great impact on the reputation of the group.

"Could it be that these companies have united quietly? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that all the companies acted in unison." Speaking of this, Jiang Yang's face also became ugly.

This news is not a good thing for Feichi Group.

"It's possible, and it's very likely." Zhou Fei nodded and said, "Since a single taxi company can't compete with us, then these companies will have the capital to challenge us when they join forces."

To be honest, the situation that Zhou Fei is most worried about is about to happen. The launch of online car-hailing is a good thing, but it has virtually turned against the entire taxi industry. This is the situation that Zhou Fei does not want to see the most.

"Then what should we do?" Jiang Yang was a little panicked to be honest, how much impact would the combination of so many companies have.

"Don't worry, these are all our guesses, maybe it's really a coincidence." Zhou Fei smiled and signaled Jiang Yang not to mess up, "But we have to be prepared, I will follow up with you in the next few days The relevant departments have met, and it’s okay for them to unite, but I don’t want to disrupt the entire market because of this, let’s take precautions in advance.”

In the next few days, Zhou Fei basically ran around the transportation commissions, price supervision bureaus and other relevant departments in major cities to take precautions in advance and jointly deal with possible strikes.

Until the 20th of this month, everything was safe and sound, and the "worst case" that Zhou Fei had expected did not occur. It spread across the entire network in an instant:

The three local taxi companies in Gusu jointly announced that from now on, they will no longer use the Golf under the Feichi Group as their taxis!
Not long after the three taxi companies in Gusu issued this announcement, the four taxi companies in Shanghai also issued a similar announcement, also announcing that they would abandon golf!

But this is not the end. In the next hour, the taxi companies in Jinling and Nanjing and Hangzhou also announced such news one after another!

The snowball is getting bigger and bigger!

The four major cities in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions announced such news one after another, as if they had discussed it in advance. Although the taxi operators in other cities have not followed up yet, if this matter is allowed to simmer , It is bound to form a domino effect, and the impact on Feichi Group will not only be as simple as losing thousands of taxi orders.

Although these taxi companies did not mention anything about online car-hailing, anyone can see that their collective action was caused by online car-hailing. Revolt!

By taking positive countermeasures such as price cuts, these companies are invincible against the Feichi Group. They can only use this method, a slightly "moderate" method, to resist the online car-hailing business carried out by the Feichi Group, and use the influence of public opinion. Power, come to force the Feichi Group to make concessions!
That's what those taxi companies envisioned.

In fact, as early as a week ago, the taxi companies in these four cities had already established this short-term interest alliance under the leadership of Shanghai Taxi Company to discuss how to deal with the impact of online car-hailing. Decided to use this method to fire the first shot against online car-hailing!
