Didi ChuXing, Apple partner goes Uber China

The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg suggest that Didi ChuXing , a company in which Apple has invested a billion dollars a few months ago could buy Uber division in China.

In this operation, in addition to acquiring the company, Didi ChuXing would become owner of the database, the list of customers and the infrastructure itself.

Meanwhile, The  Wall Street Journal notes that the company as part of the deal, Didi ChuXing invest billion in Uber International, coincidentally the same amount invested in Didi Apple ChuXing months ago.

Didi ChuXing is the main rival of Uber in China and could increase its market share by buying the American company.

It is decision could be because the last few months have been summarized in a loss of customers for both companies, finally ending in the acquisition of one by the other, the larger and more market share to smaller, in this case, Uber.

When Apple invested a few months ago, the value of the company was around twenty - eight billion dollars, after this agreement, the Chinese company will be around thirty-five billion dollars according to Bloomberg and thirty six billion according to the Wall Street Journal, about six or seven thousand more than today million.

Didi ChuXing, besides offering a similar Uber service also devotes much of its capital to investigate autonomous cars and electric cars, so they could be part of the future plan of the Apple Car that you count a few days ago here on the web .

We do not know where this will end, what we do know is that Apple is entering fully with all kinds of investments and businesses in the automotive sector, either to offer them its commitment to the autonomous car or to improve the integration of our devices current with our traditional vehicles. In a few months we will leave doubts.
