In 2014, the Internet industry was booming, while the real estate industry continued to be sluggish.

Many peripheral industries have been implicated, and the real industry is besieged on all sides and wailing.

Many companies in the real industry are facing operational problems and struggling to survive.

Zhong Guangsheng opened a small company with more than a dozen employees.

He made a lot of money in the past few years, which allowed him to buy a house and a good car.

My wife is very virtuous and my daughter is very cute.

Every day after get off work, he rushes home as soon as possible.

This year, the economy suddenly stopped working, and there was no hope.

No matter how hard he tried and struggled, he could only watch the company sink bit by bit.

Yesterday, his wife asked him for 5,000 yuan to enroll her daughter in a training class. She said that her neighbor Aunt Wang’s daughter had enrolled and the results were very good.

He didn't know how to explain to his wife that he had no money now, so he could only use the excuse that he wanted to give his daughter a good childhood.

The scary thing is not that there has never been money, but that people who used to have money suddenly have no money.

At 6 p.m. again, Zhong Guangsheng raised his head and said to the employees: "It's time to get off work, you should go back early!"

He knows that there is really nothing to do in the company now, and he misses the days when he worked overtime every day.

"Boss, let's go. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Zhong Guangsheng also packed up his things, walked to the underground parking lot, took out his mobile phone, and clicked on Didi to take the order.

In the past, there was a lot of work in the company, and he could not wait to rush home immediately after get off work to see his wife and daughter.

Now he has less work and more time, but he can't go home.

"Children will go home when they have no money, but adults cannot go home when they have no money."

【Didi, you have a new order!】

Zhong Guangsheng grabbed the order and took a look at the address. Fortunately, the passenger was in front of this office building.

He drove out of the parking lot and came to the order-taking point designated by passengers, and was about to call the passengers.

At this time, the car door was opened and a boy sat in.

"What's the last number of your mobile phone please..."

"boss?"

"Sun Yi?"

Only then did Zhong Guangsheng realize that the passenger was actually his employee.

"Boss, how do you drive Didi?"

"Isn't this...this thing very popular recently? I want to experience it too."

Zhong Guangsheng felt very embarrassed and didn't know what reason to give himself.

If I had known better, I would have driven further away so I wouldn't have met anyone I knew.

If it was last year, when the company was doing very well and making a lot of money, and his Didi app was seen by employees, he would have naturally joked:

"The company is losing money again. If I don't drive Didi, how can I have money to pay wages to you little bastards?"

Now when he really needs to earn some living expenses from dripping, he can't say anything.

Many times, rich people like to pretend to be poor, while poor people want to pretend to be rich.

The employee also felt that the boss's expression was not very natural, so he quickly said: "I heard that many second-generation rich people drive luxury cars to the door of nightclubs to take orders at night. Boss, don't you think so too, right?"

"If you kid finds out, don't tell anyone!"

"Don't worry, boss, I'm very tight-lipped."

"It's time to go, fasten your seat belt."

Whether it is the boss or the employee, this journey is very embarrassing.

Especially now during the rush hour after get off work, the traffic is stuck in place and unable to move.

The two of them were in the car, desperately looking for topics that neither of them cared about.

However, no matter what the topic was, after three sentences, there was a long silence.

The driver's steering wheel was stained with sweat, and the passenger's toes were almost digging into his shoes.

…

At this time, all kinds of people drive their own cars and become Didi, Kuaidi, and Uber drivers.

They all have their own stories.

Some people become a driver in order to live and make money.

Some people have nothing to do and are landlords of several buildings for rent. They only use Didi to chat with passengers, tell stories, and get to know people from all walks of life.

There are young men who drive special cars and have a little money, who go to some art schools exclusively.

There are also ride-hailing services that only take orders with beautiful women's faces.

Before mass accidents occurred, many girls changed their avatars to internet-famous beauties in order to make it easier for them to catch rides.

At this time, there is not much pumping on the platform, and the rewards are very rich.

Many people have quit their stable jobs and become full-time online ride-hailing drivers.

The emergence of a large number of online ride-hailing services has impacted the traditional taxi industry and triggered conflicts between the two major groups.

Taxi drivers vented their anger on online ride-hailing drivers and organized themselves to wreak havoc.

The two groups of people just want to make a living, but regard each other as enemies.

…

Luo Xiu did not participate in this battle of taxi-hailing software.

He was just a bystander, witnessing history once again.

This period of history was not far away from the time of his rebirth, and only a few years had passed.

But he felt as if this was a historical story that happened a long, long time ago.

He seemed to be reviewing the increasingly fierce online ride-hailing war from the perspective of an old man.

In just a few months, too many stories happened.

In the eyes of traditional businesses, the money on the Internet is so profitable, but they have not seen how bloody this battle will be.

In the office of an online ride-hailing company in Zhongguancun, the imperial capital.

Because of this war, the number of travel orders increased 50 times in two weeks.

The 40 servers could no longer hold up, so the founder could only call Xiaoma to quickly support a technical team and 1,000 servers.

Engineers and programmers did not leave the office for seven days and nights in order to work overtime to rewrite the server architecture.

Some people couldn't take off their contact lenses, and some people just passed out.

This company also grew rapidly during the war and became a beast that cannot be ignored.

In order to commemorate this battle, the boss reserved one of the offices and named it "Seven Days and Seven Nights".

In this office, the names of every young warrior who fought bloody battles are recorded.

Billions and tens of billions of capital investment are all placed on this young start-up team, so they are not allowed to make any mistakes.

This group of young programmers didn't have much idea at the time, and they didn't know whether these honors would become a joke.

I don’t know if I will be eliminated at the age of 35.

Then in order to make a living, he became an online ride-hailing driver.

I took out my mobile phone, faced the order several kilometers away, and cursed the person who wrote the program as a fool.

Although he knew clearly that part of the program was the result of staying up late at night and typing out one character after another.

When he was writing this program, he high-fived himself for his cleverness and rejoiced for his genius idea.

In the blink of an eye, the shackles he had made with his own hands were placed on his body.

Life is like this, full of drama and absurdity.
