200.000.000.000 pennies to be exact.. 2 billion dollars!

Uber is pretty busy in the last few years. The taxi service is working so hard on the road, that it is the ordinary taxi’s thin through the pants. Uber is in many ways better than the ordinary taxis, especially in cities such as 020. Already with a broken leg, robbed, in the rain behind a working gierkar bikes often even better than a taxi in that city, but that is entirely beside the point.

Uber wants to grow. They took at the beginning of this month, 3.5 billion dollars with a loan from Saudi Arabia, according to the Wall Street Journal has caterpillar Nooitgenoeg still hungry.

It is not clear exactly where Uber the new loan for would like to use. The chance is, however, very great that the money is spent in China, where they have to compete with Didi Chuxing (which recently received a financial injection from Apple). The recruitment of new drivers and cars cost a bomb duiten, especially in such a huge market as China.

The taxi company is now investigating, together with the investment banks Morgan Stanley and Barclays or the loan is feasible. If yes, then the company has some $ 15 billion in funds, mostly borrowed. But that’s not a problem, the value of Uber is now estimated at 60 billion dollars. But yes, to be able to speak it to the show and that definitely shows still another year to wait.

Anyway, more Ubers on the street is never a bad thing. Loan but touch boys.
