Zulema sells LNKD 189.21: One potential partnership could involve users booking Didi-Kuaidi via LNKD app or multiple users booking the same ride to be picked up consecutively by the driver.

Didi-Kuaidi will also benefit from this deal in that it could potentially lead to increased booking from business users that are less price sensitive, thereby adding to the growth of its own high-end services that compete directly against Uber-China. With increased network effect, LNKD will almost certainly grow ahead of Facebook (NASDAQ: FB ) in the world's most populated internet market. The partnership with Didi-Kuaidi can certainly boost LNKD's presence, thereby driving incremental user growth. LNKD certainly meets both the needs of the corporate and the users, which is why it is an attractive social networking and ad platform in China. This is particularly important for human resource professionals that are looking for holistic candidates that can bring their firms to the global stage.


Elois:
LNKD has seen strong traction in China with approximately 10m users.

Mina:
I remain bullish on BABA and Tencent while negative on BIDU.

Tenesha:
Finally, this partnership is a negative to Uber as it faces a blend of competitive and regulatory uncertainties, ultimately impacting BIDU given it is a major backer of Uber-China in the country.

Meghan:
Furthermore, the incumbent taxi app could also ramp up its private car and high-end services that are catered to corporate clients, putting pressure on Uber-China's 20% market share in the high-end private car services.

Shanel:
Second, Didi-Kuaidi will benefit from increased user stickiness and bookings via the LNKD app in China.

Leida:
This partnership should further boost LNKD user growth in the country.

Clara:
In addition, LNKD's superior ad platform and rich database will continue to draw corporate clients as Chinese firms become increasingly globalized and seek global candidates that only LNKD can provide.

Ester:
Remain bullish on BABA, Tencent and LNKD.

Lynn:
Didi-Kuaidi could potentially offer ride-hailing services to LNKD users in China.

Elvira:
Saucers form over a period of seven weeks to a year or more.
