Despite the past more than 10 days, "Ctrip" safety door incidents are still fermenting. Recently, some entrepreneurs have said that because of concerns about safety and other issues, they have been abandoned with Cheng Ka as company Travel Services. Beijing Universal Education company CEO Shong told reporters, not only he, many of his friends around the initiative to abandon the carrying Cheng Ka.

Shong: That [the security door] story isn't all about it? Let's be careful.

Reporter: The friend of the side goes through this matter, have not given up to use?

Shong: That must be more, because everyone has a credit card or more, so this thing still feel very bad one thing, if there is a security problem certainly everyone will be cautious.

The Universal Education Corporation is a national legal education training institution, which currently has a large number of immediate schools in the country. As a company manager, Shong often need to travel. Therefore, the company had a long time ago with Ctrip reached the air ticket and hotel business cooperation agreement.

With the rise of other online tourism sites, online tourism field price war frequently, although Ctrip is also willing to participate heavily, but Shong found that Ctrip's price does not have an advantage.

Shong: The key is that there are some new web-based platforms coming out in the past few years, and it's also a shock, so we ask employees to go on a business trip at a low price.

In order to verify the Shong, the reporter today 17:20 points online also made a query. Also a April 20 from Beijing non-stop flights to Shenzhen, where to go the lowest price of 806 yuan (excluding fuel and airport construction costs), and Ctrip's lowest price is 867 yuan (excluding fuel and airport construction costs), the same flight Ctrip more than 61 yuan.

Ctrip: The Lost Giant

With the passage of time, the "security door" may slowly pass, but the former "Big Brother" face a lot of challenges. In the Internet commentators believe that the sea light, Ctrip, although still in the online tourism industry leading position, but the leading distance has been greatly shortened. In terms of market capitalisation, in 2011, the market value of Ctrip was 7 billion dollars, where the market value was 10 times times; But by the beginning of 2013, Ctrip and where the market gap has narrowed 4:1; a year later, Ctrip and go where the market value than further decline, for 2:1, Ctrip about 7.2 billion U.S. dollars, Where to go about 3.5 billion dollars. In three years, Ctrip's market value increased by 200 million dollars, while its rivals grew 5 times times.

Letter of the Sea Light said, the so-called Chengye Xiao, Ctrip before the best line: It proud of the number of call center has reached 10,900 people (the total number of employees in the company 53%). But now, the huge offline team has become a heavy burden on the company. Other internet companies are "light" companies, while Ctrip is "heavy". This led to Ctrip in the transition to mobile Internet, a lot behind.

Letter of the Sea light: Ctrip In fact the performance of the mobile side does not have it in the PC side performance so good, and some traffic junction also on Baidu company rely on very serious, so that the future development of the company has trouble.

Letter of the sea Light, got Ctrip chairman Liang Jianzhang recognition.

Liang Jianzhang: In some areas we do encounter a change in a very big technological innovation, and the application on the phone is a different experience or a design method.

Data show that in 2013, China Travel service industry total turnover of about 317.43 billion yuan, of which online transactions accounted for only 9.2%. This is a hopeful figure for all online travel companies, and what does that mean for the company?

Ctrip deeply "bought" rumors

Ctrip CEO Liang Jianzhang after the return of the internal emphasis on Ctrip independent development, to do bat outside the fourth giant. But at the beginning of this month, Ctrip suddenly fell into the "acquired rumors." At that time, the major portals are crazy to send a message: Online travel search site to where will and online tourism leading Ctrip merged, and behind the trader is the internet big guy Baidu.

Economic voice reporters have tried to verify with both sides of the matter, Baidu's response is "there is no exact news, but also heard from the Internet." In addition, the reporter many times this afternoon contacted Ctrip PR manager Lee, but the telephone always unanswered.

Internet It commentators believe that, combined with the status of Ctrip, the development of their own problems, the best result is to find the giant "hug thigh."

Letter of the Sea light: China's internet These giants his power is very large, such as Ctrip, the vertical field of the boss, if he does not with a few giants cooperation, alliances, in the future to do in it is easy to be eaten away by people.

Prior to that, Ctrip's competitors have chosen to marry the internet giants, where to accept the investment of Baidu, 2011 Tencent acquisition of 16% of the art Dragon shares. February 17 this year, the same way network CEO Wu Zhixiang in the company's internal mail confirmed that the same network has been Tencent, Boyu, Yuan wo three institutions a total of 500 million yuan investment, the future goal is still an independent IPO.
