Taxi Uber CEO Travis Kalanick said in an interview today, Uber current revenue performance of the top 30 in the world in the city's annual profits have exceeded $ 1 billion, the company will take out some of these profits will be financial support for market expansion in China.

Uber said in February this year, in the fierce competition in the taxi market in China, in order to compete with local competitors for market and users, Uber's losing more than $ 1 billion a year in China. Kalanick said the China market is the most competitive market Uber competition, but also learned a lot from the competition in the China market new ideas and models, the new concept model has been Uber into other markets, the Chinese market is so Uber sustained investment.

"Uber performance ranked among the top 30 cities in the world, they do Uber profits of more than $ 1 billion every year. With the expansion of business scale, substantial growth in profits each year in these cities. Uber currently operating in 400 cities around the world, in addition to outside the top 30 cities, Uber in many other cities are profitable. Therefore, this helps Uber to continued investment in the Chinese market. Because we are in a global market at a profit, to invest in the Chinese market is one of the things we can do for a long time. "Kalanick said.

At present, in order to gain more market share, Uber drops and local competitors are spending huge amounts of money to support their drivers and passengers, betting that China will become the world's largest transportation market with Internet connection. Uber, which seems to have played a certain effect. Kalanick says Uber market share in China has maintained relatively fast growth, market share from January 2015 to 1% about now 30% about.

Minister Yang said earlier this month China, taxi services to passengers and the driver of the subsidy is a kind of unfair competition, which is not sustainable in the long term.

Uber was founded in 2009, the company headquarters is located in the United States in San Francisco. Uber is now first to test new products in the Chinese market. Peers (UberCOMMUTE) this product is a good example of this car launch in September, the first in Chengdu last year, and has gradually expanded to global markets. As to why you want to do, Kalanick said, for us, in the Chinese market is crucial to move quickly. If we in the United States to launch, then the market will soon launch similar products in China, so that we will be left behind. Therefore, we will launch innovative products took the lead in the Chinese market. This also reflects the Uber facing cut-throat competition in the Chinese market.

Uber in China in the latest round of financing in January, received more than $ 1 billion in financing that business value is more than $ 8 billion. On the regulatory front, Kalanick said Uber so far has encountered significant challenges from regulatory bodies, possibly because the Chinese Government has been promoting innovation and Uber's business is in line with the strategy of the Chinese Government.

Kalanick declined Uber in the Chinese market will be profitable, but he seems to enjoy the process. "Last year, I spent 70 days in China, millions of people every day, and I said, ' so far, no cases of foreign technology companies succeed in China, I don't know if you should be here doing business. ' Being an entrepreneur, and this is the best thing you might hear. You have to turn it into a driving force, make the impossible possible is what we do. ”

打车应用Uber的CEO Travis Kalanick今天在一次采访中表示，Uber目前在全球营收业绩排名前30位的城市中的年利润已超过10亿美元，公司将会将这些利润中的一部分拿出来为在中国市场的扩张提供资金支持。

Uber今年2月份曾表示，在竞争激烈的中国打车应用市场，为了同中国本土竞争对手争夺市场和用户，Uber在中国一年的亏损超过了10亿美元。Kalanick表示，中国市场是Uber所面临的竞争最为激烈的市场，不过公司也从在中国市场的竞争中学到了很多新的理念和模式，这些新理念模式也被Uber运用到了其它的市场中，所以Uber会对中国市场进行持续地投资。

“对于Uber全球业绩排名前30的城市，它们每年为Uber带来的利润超过10亿美元。随着公司业务规模的壮大，这些城市的利润每年都在大幅增长。当前Uber在全球400个城市开展业务，除了排名前30的城市外，Uber在很多其它城市也实现了盈利。因此，这有助于Uber对中国市场进行持续投资。因为我们在全球市场获得了利润，对中国市场进行投资是我们可以长期做的一件事情。”Kalanick这样说道。

当前，为了获得更大的市场份额，Uber和中国本土竞争对手滴滴出行均花费巨额资金来补贴司机和乘客，押注中国将成为全球最大的与互联网连接的运输市场。对Uber而言，这种战略似乎已经起到了一定的效果。Kalanick表示，Uber在中国市场的份额一直保持比较快地增长，市场份额从2015年1月的1%至2%左右增长到现在的30%左右。

中国交通部部长杨传堂本月早些时候曾表示，打车服务公司对乘客和司机的补贴其实是一种不公平的竞争，这从长期来看也是不持续的。

Uber成立于2009年，公司总部位于美国旧金山。Uber现在已经开始在中国市场率先测试一些新产品。优步同行（UberCOMMUTE）这款产品就是一个很好的例子，这款拼车应用去年9月率先在成都推出，并已逐步向全球市场进行扩张。至于为何要这样做，Kalanick表示，对于我们而言，在中国市场关键就是要快速行动。如果我们先在美国推出，那么中国市场很快就会推出类似的产品，这样我们就会落后。因此，我们会将一些创新产品率先在中国市场推出。这也从侧面反映出Uber在中国市场面临的恶性竞争。

Uber中国在1月份的最新一轮的融资中获得超过10亿美元的融资，这项业务的估值也已经超过了80亿美元。在监管方面，Kalanick表示到目前为止Uber并未遇到来自监管机构的重大挑战，可能是因为中国政府一直在推动创新，而Uber的业务是符合中国政府的这一战略的。

Kalanick拒绝透露Uber在中国市场何时会实现盈利，不过他看起来似乎很享受这一过程。“去年，我在中国呆了整整70天，每天都有无数人和我说：‘到目前为止，还没有外国互联网科技公司在中国成功的案例，我不知道你是否应该在这里开展业务。’作为一个企业家，这是你可能听到的最好的事情了。你要把它变成一种动力，把不可能变为可能正是我们在做的事情。”
