deceived supervision, flouted the law, encouraged drivers to use violence, and even secretly lobbied governments of various countries. . .
What the bad reviewer said is not an obscene plot in a gangster novel. This is the true story of the American technology giant Uber.
Yes, I believe that well-informed friends have heard that something happened to Uber.
In the past two days, the external Internet has almost been wiped out by these Uber scandals.
What happened is probably like this.
Not long ago, the " Guardian" obtained more than 120,000 Uber internal documents from the hands of "insiders".
This includes more than 80,000 emails between Uber executives, iMessage and WhatsApp chat records, etc.
Perhaps due to insufficient manpower, the "Guardian" immediately shared these internal documents with media colleagues. . .
It took more than 40 media outlets in 29 countries around the world and more than 180 investigative reporters four months to analyze and digest these materials.
Fortunately, the hard work paid off. Through these files, they discovered a lot of exciting information.
There are many shocking things among the political and business circles, knowing and breaking the law, and inciting violence. Even Macron and Biden have been dragged into the water. . .
In this way, Uber is still an online ride-hailing giant that has changed the way of travel and promoted flexible employment for drivers.
After being exposed by the media, he turned into an outlaw maniac with ruthless means.
Today, the bad reviewer is also preparing to combine the fierce news that has been revealed so far.
Let’s talk to everyone about the recent Uber scandal that shocked the world’s technology and political circles . What’s going on?
first broke the news and told us that Uber’s popularity in countries around the world is not just due to the so-called “travel revolution”.
understands "the ways of the world" , which may also give Uber a lot of points.
According to the news, In 2016 alone, Uber spent more than 90 million US dollars on lobbying to build a good relationship.
And between 2013 and 2017, Uber executives had private meetings with at least six world leaders, one vice president, and three deputy prime ministers.
Including the then Vice President Biden, and Israeli Prime MinisterNetanyahu.
Among them, the current French President Macron is the most "sensible".
At the time, Macron was still finance minister and met privately four times with Uber executives.
“This meeting is so exciting!” “The political and business relationship between us is not ordinary!”
These disgusting words were all sent to Macron by Uber executives.
And at that time, the online car-hailing model had just emerged, and the relevant laws and regulations in various countries were not perfect. Online car-hailing was also called a "black car" that operated without a license.
The same is true in France. Many taxi drivers also took to the streets to boycott online ride-hailing. . .
But Macron sent a message to Uber executives saying: Don’t worry, I will call everyone to change the law next week.
By coincidence, not long after, Macron signed a decree relaxing licensing requirements for Uber drivers.
After the chat records were exposed, French media also said that there may be some "secret transactions" between Macron and Uber.
Similarly, in order to enter markets such as Russia and Italy, Uber said that it would give shares to powerful officials so that everyone can make money together.
Uber will also pay some well-known scholars to write some "papers" to praise Uber's economic model and its high social value.
I can only say that Uber does not look like a technology company, but more like a veteran who is involved in official circles and business circles.
What’s even more interesting is that for those politicians who do not support them, Uber’s executives are completely two-faced.
The mayor of Hamburg, Germany once said, "Your platform should at least pay drivers a basic salary."
They may be polite on the surface, but Uber executives privately commented: "This mayor should do a comedy, because he is so ridiculous."
When Biden was late for the meeting, Uber executives said in a threatening tone: Every minute he is late, the time spent together will be less.
Anyway, I don’t know whether the Uber platform has big data and is familiar with . At least in front of politicians, they just do what they want.
In addition to the alleged collusion between government and business, we can also find from the revelations that Uber’s three views seem to be ridiculously crooked.
When it was doing business in places like France and the Netherlands, Uber executives were crazy about it.
In the face of the conflict between taxi drivers and online ride-hailing drivers, Uber’s attitude is probably: Let’s fight, let’s fight! The harder you fight, the better it will be for me! ".
Let's put it this way. At that time, there was news about a taxi driver in the Netherlands beating an online ride-hailing driver with a hammer.
Without seeing any concern for the injured driver, a manager immediately sent a message to Uber's executives: It has been taken care of, and the news will be tomorrow xx The headlines on the front page of the newspaper!
To be honest, in the face of such a tragedy, most of the negative reviewers can think of Uber. A smile appeared on the executive's face.
In addition, they also have something called a "kill switch".
When the kill switch is activated, the computer will immediately disconnect from the company server. . . I believe everyone has also thought that this set of tools is used to deal with supervision.
In this way, when being raided offline, just press the "kill switch" immediately , you can protect the company's sensitive documents and let the inspectors return without success.
And according to the news, Uber has performed this set of procedures more than a dozen times, and is already familiar with everything. The most difficult part is acting in front of the inspector. . .
“ Oops, I don’t know what’s going on. The Internet is disconnected. What an unlucky thing you guys are here! "
similar outrageous things, over there 12 There are still quite a few among the 10,000 copies of internal documents, so I won’t say more.
Anyway, as soon as this news came out, it immediately shocked the technology and political circles.
There is some trouble on Macron’s side, because the opposition grabbed this pigtail and kept spraying Macron.
said that this is the Watergate incident in French political and business circles, and Macron must come forward to explain clearly and take responsibility. . .
Good buddy, Uber’s response is also very subtle.
probably means that after the new president Dara Khosrowshahi took office in 2017, Uber has changed a lot, and those things in the past are completely inconsistent with the current company’s values.
At first glance, it is almost the default. . .
Relevant countries involved in this matter will probably immediately launch an investigation into Uber.
However, I think that in addition to being investigated by other countries, Uber’s happy hometown, the United States, will probably not let go of Zhang San, who is in the technology circle.
Although some things are not committed in the United States, the United States has a whip called the Foreign Anti-Corruption Act (referred to as FCPA), which is likely to be slapped on Uber.
Companies that are probably logically related to the United States engage in bribery and corruption abroad, which brings disgrace to all American companies.
This must be punished!
At that time, the United States' Lockheed Company paid bribes in Honduras , but the United States was caught and fined more than 20 million US dollars. The person in charge was directly sent to prison. . .
General Electric Company conspired with an Israeli general to deceive an Israeli air force base with counterfeit currency. In the end, it had to pay a fine of nearly 70 million US dollars, and the relevant person in charge was also sentenced to 7 years in prison.
Walmart was also fined $900 million by the U.S. government for bribery in Brazil, India, Mexico and other places.
There are countless other American companies that have been whipped by the FCPA, and Uber may be the next one.
Generally speaking, these things about Uber make the negative reviewers who think they have experienced many experiences, are shocked.
is a technology company. . . They talk about changing the "travel mode", but behind the scenes, they are suspected of bribery through backdoors, while evading supervision and instigating violence.
It is said that technology is the magic of Muggle , but in the eyes of the old Uber, technology may be just a cover, market share, and tickets are the real purpose.
In the future, I don’t know if more information will be revealed.
At least for now, for Uber, the company that once revolutionized ride-hailing, bad reviews have taken a turn for the worse.
