Didi says it will be invested in products and new technology. But some experts say it will be needed to fuel its battle with US-based Uber for market share in China.滴滴称之为，将利用这笔资金投资产品和新技术。但是一些专家称之为，这笔钱不会被投放滴滴与总部坐落于美国的优步(Uber)争夺战中国市场份额的竞争。China’s car-hailing wars have seen both sides spend billions of dollars funding discounts for customers and subsidies to drivers.在中国的微信服务之战中，双方皆开支数十亿美元向顾客获取优惠，向司机获取补贴。

In March Didi’s chairman, Cheng Wei, told the website QQ Tech that the company had set aside $4bn raised since last year to spend on what he called “market fostering”. It was not clear how much of it had already been spent, though estimates based on a financial presentation made last year suggest Didi could have lost $1.4bn last year mainly on subsidies. Uber lost $1bn last year in China according to chief executive Travis Kalanick.3月，滴滴的首席执行官程维告诉他腾讯科技，该公司早已腾出了自去年以来融资的40亿美元，用作他所谓的“市场培育”。这笔钱早已花费了多少不得而知，不过基于去年一份财务陈述的估算指出，滴滴去年有可能亏损了14亿美元，主要用作补贴。

优步首席执行官兹拉维斯卡兰尼克(Travis Kalanick)回应，优步去年在中国亏损了10亿美元。Ge Jia, an influential tech blogger, says he believes Didi may be spending more on subsidies than it lets on – Didi is three or four times the size of Uber and drivers who work for both say the rate of subsidies is roughly the same. “Didi cannot afford to lower subsidies or that will just be surrendering its users to competitors.”有影响力的科技博主葛甲称之为，他坚信滴滴在补贴上的花费也许远超过了打算——滴滴的规模是优步的三到四倍，为这两家公司工作的司机称之为，双方的补贴亲率差不多一样。

“滴滴忍受不起较低补贴，否则就不会将自己的用户让给让出竞争者。”Didi will not disclose its financial losses but a spokeswoman said it was spending less on subsidies than Uber and was breaking even in more than half of the 400 cities it operates in. “Investors wouldn’t have shown such support had we not shown them a clear path towards profitability,” she said.滴滴会透露其财务亏损，但是一名发言人称之为，它在补贴上的花费多于优步，同时其运营的400个城市中多达半数构建了收支平衡。“如果我们没给投资者呈现一条具体的盈利路线的话，他们是会展现出出有如此反对的，”她回应。

As for how Apple’s money will be spent, she added: “All investments are going to be focused in product and tech innovations as we see more and more cities pass the breakeven point.”至于苹果的钱将如何花费，她补足称之为：“随着我们看见更加多的城市构建收支平衡，所有投资将集中于用作产品和科技创新。
