Travis, an entrepreneur with a sharp tongue, used his wisdom and charm to successfully convince the mayor of San Francisco, making him understand that it is not advisable to block the progress of the times and ignore the needs of the people.The mayor's persuasion marked San Francisco's acceptance of Uber and cleared a major obstacle for Travis' entrepreneurial journey.However, this is just one stop on Travis and his Uber team’s global journey. The next stop is Portland.
The city of Portland, which once enforced phishing enforcement against Uber drivers, presented Travis and Uber with unprecedented challenges.Transportation Department staff used various reasons to punish Uber drivers, the most fatal of which was impounding the driver's vehicle.Fines can be settled, but the impoundment of vehicles makes drivers feel desperate, military morale begins to waver, and drivers are exodus.
Faced with this dilemma, Travis once again showed his ingenuity.He launched the “Grayball” program, a strategy specifically designed to deal with fishing enforcement.This program can create a “ghost car” phenomenon, allowing fishing law enforcement officers to see that the driver is on the way on the map, but in fact the driver never arrives.The success of this tactic allowed Uber to win in Portland.
As each battle is won, Uber's influence gradually expands.When Travis and his team captured New York City, he fulfilled his promise and held a grand carnival in the casino, spending up to $25 million.Although Travis also felt that this number was a bit exaggerated, he understood that it was to celebrate the victory and to motivate the team to keep moving forward.
However, Travis’ entrepreneurial journey did not become smooth.He continued to face various crises and challenges, but he never backed down.He used his wisdom and courage to lead the Uber team to overcome obstacles and open up new markets again and again.Travis’ journey continues, and his story is inspiring more entrepreneurs to move forward.
