Rebirth: I just wanted to study hard, but I became a scumbag

"It's not easy."

Wang Xing sighed.

He has been in business for quite a long time, but most of the time he sits firmly on the Diaoyutai and grasps the general direction like Su Ze.

But since taking over Meituan's business, he has had more and more contact with people at the bottom.

What followed was all kinds of messy troubles.

At first, he would feel angry.

I think I am only doing business legally under the provisions of national policies.

But later, he realized that was not the case.

If you want to do business smoothly, sometimes even the old man who looks after the door has to stuff two packs of good cigarettes into his house.

Once he went to negotiate with a taxi company.

As a result, the gatekeeper was on guard and refused to let in.

Seeing how old he was, Wang Xing didn't dare to use force and could only choose to give gifts.

Fortunately, the outcome of the negotiation was good and those two packs of good cigarettes were not wasted.

"This is a 20% share transfer contract for Meituan Taxi."

Su Ze handed him a document: "Sign it and the contract will come into effect."

Wang Xing was stunned.

This is a market worth hundreds of billions.

Su Ze casually gave him one-fifth of the original shares.

This is more real than any amount of praise.

"Thank you, Mr. Su! I will work hard and work hard!"

Wang Xing excitedly took the contract and said to Su Ze.

Just then, his cell phone rang suddenly.

"Hello? What!"

The smile on Wang Xing's face disappeared instantly, and there was deep uneasiness in his eyes.

"Okay, I know."

"I'll go back and deal with it right away."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Xing quickly stood up from the sofa.

Su Ze asked in confusion: "What's wrong? You're in a panic."

"I just got the message."

"An online ride-hailing driver kidnapped a female passenger."

"Now the family has called the police, and the police called our company."

After hearing these words, Su Ze realized the seriousness of the problem.

Since the launch of the online ride-hailing business, social discussions about its safety have never stopped.

After all, online ride-hailing drivers are not like taxis, who need to go through layers of review.

The details of every taxi driver can be found out clearly.

The review mechanism of online car-hailing can be said to be very simple. Basically, as long as you have an ID card and a car, you can accept the order.

If there are some extremely vicious gangsters mixed in, the passengers will have no way of discovering or knowing about it.

Wang Xing looked solemn: "The top priority now is to stabilize the passengers' families."

"Once they bring it to the media, it becomes serious."

Meituan's taxi-hailing business has been developing smoothly, but other taxi-hailing companies that entered the market later are struggling.

If they see negative news about Meituan Taxi, they will definitely take this opportunity to make a big fuss.

By then, public opinion will definitely condemn them one-sidedly.

If female passengers make another mistake, they may even receive rectification orders from relevant departments.

A month or two after the rectification, Meituan Taxi's previous efforts were all in vain.

However, Su Ze was not too nervous.

"Don't worry, let's figure things out first."

He told Wang Xing: "You first cooperate with the police in the investigation."

"Even if the passengers' families find a reporter, don't be too busy explaining."

Wang Xing looked at Su Ze in disbelief: "How can we not be anxious about this kind of thing?"

"The greater the public outcry, the greater the impact on us!"

"Mr. Su, you must think twice!"

Su Ze said calmly: "So many people in society now feel that our online ride-hailing is unsafe."

"In this case, let us tell everyone whether our online ride-hailing is safe or not."

"At the same time, it will also allow criminals who attempt to commit crimes through online ride-hailing to give up the idea as soon as possible."

"So even if we are going to suffer a loss this time, we will have to swallow it."

Wang Xing could only nod helplessly when he heard what he said.

He then left and went back to cooperate with the police in investigating the situation.

After a while, Su Ze called Zhou Wenming into the office.

"Has the built-in recording function for taxis that I asked you to develop before been launched?"

Zhou Wenming nodded: "It's online. According to what you said, it was online two months ago."

"But Mr. Su, I still think it's not good to put this kind of function into the software first."

From the perspective of a product manager, an app should focus on frequently used functions as its main development targets.

For example, take the taxi service that is commonly used by everyone.

Originally, according to Zhou Wenming's idea, the "Hitchhiking" function should be launched next.

In this way, some customers who need long-distance vehicles can be satisfied at once.

But Su Ze asked him to add a built-in recording function to the software shortly after Meituan Taxi went online.

Once the driver accepts the order, the function will be automatically turned on to record the conversation between the driver and the customer in the car.

Of course, this behavior undoubtedly violates the personal privacy of drivers and passengers.

But at this time, personal privacy rights were not taken seriously enough.

Secondly, from a rational point of view, Su Ze and the others did this to ensure the safety of passengers.

"Bring up the recording immediately. It will come in handy today." Su Ze said calmly.

After hearing these words, Zhou Wenming suddenly became energetic.

Because this means that something big must have happened, otherwise the recording would not have to be adjusted.

Su Ze handed the passenger tracking number requested from Wang Xing to Zhou Wenming.

Only 10 minutes later, the recording was sent over by Zhou Wenming.

"Mr. Su... the content here is a bit exciting."

"It's hard for me to say. You'd better listen to it yourself and then see what you do."

Su Ze turned on the recording with a hint of suspicion.

"Brother Long, it won't be illegal if we do this!"

A young woman's voice sounded.

Another deep male voice snorted disdainfully.

"Meituan people are not gods, how do they know what happened in the car?"

"Besides, we are just disappearing for a few hours. When things get serious, we can come back."

"In short, it has one purpose. We must make Meituan Taxi a bad reputation in terms of public opinion!"

Liu Ruyan next to him was dumbfounded after hearing this.

"It's so vicious!"

"It must have been done by someone from a competitor!"

Zhou Wenming pointed to the speaker and motioned for her to continue listening.

"Brother Long, how much did that person give you?" the woman asked.

"Just five thousand, half for each of us." The man's tone was hesitant.

The woman obviously didn't believe it and asked, "Who are you lying to? Penguin is a large international company, how could it be possible for it to give such a small amount of money?"

The rest is just some small talk.

And Su Ze and the others also got what they wanted to know most.

This passenger was sent by his rival Penguin to take a taxi and discredit him.

Now the evidence is conclusive. As long as the recording is handed over to the police, everything will be revealed.
