Monday, August [-]st.Beijing, Didi headquarters.
Liu Qing, CEO of Didi, walked into the office floor in high heels, and was greeted constantly along the way.
"Morning, Mr. Liu."
"Hello, Mr. Liu."
This is the case in the workplace. Small employees may not take the initiative to say hello when they meet the boss of the company on the road.But after reaching a floor, there is not much difference in the company's hierarchy, but it is necessary to say hello and say hello.
Liu Qing's experience in Didi is quite legendary.She received a master's degree from Harvard in 2002 and immediately joined Goldman Sachs after graduation.Large international investment banks usually recruit graduates with backgrounds.
So, don't be fooled by Chicken Soup Wen again.People's ability to enter Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley has a lot to do with their own efforts, but what is more important and decisive is their background.
What do you guys like to say most?The workplaces abroad are all fair, and foreign countries never compete with their fathers.hehe!
Liu Qing, as the daughter of Mr. Liu, the first-generation leader recognized by the Chinese business community, has successfully entered Goldman Sachs Asia to work.The subsequent promotion is also a matter of course.
In 2014, Liu Qing, who has become the managing director of Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific, had dinner with Cheng Wei, the founder of Didi, who had already become famous, in Beijing for the third time: Goldman Sachs wanted to invest in Didi, but was still rejected.
The real reason, of course, wasn't Mr. Cheng being an idiot.It is Liu Qing who is bringing together Didi and Kuaidi to merge.A round of angel investment is certainly not worth a barrage of visits from the managing director of Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific.
Liu Qing said: "If we are not allowed to invest in Didi, then I will work for you." Then she joined Didi.
Of course, anyone with a little experience would understand that a normal resignation handover would take him a month, let alone a high-ranking boss.Liu Qing went to Didi not so fast.In one sentence, it's a novel.
But anyway, this is still a very legendary experience!Because the executives of Goldman Sachs in the Asia-Pacific region go to a start-up company as an executive, this is really not something that ordinary people can do.This is the same as Cai Chongxin’s annual salary of several million dollars, and he went to Ma Yun to get a salary of 500 yuan.
But, who should believe this: the story of a virtuous minister defecting to the Ming Lord, who is an idiot.The real joining process is like this.
After the two met, Liu Qing said the above sentence in a fit of anger.Mr. Cheng held a meeting of the board of directors when he returned home, saying that he wanted to recruit Liu Qing.Then, I chatted with Liu Qing for a week.Mr. Cheng told her: Half of Didi's salary is yours, and the rest is ours.
Call seven or eight executives from Didi, and the group goes out for a walk.Fly to Xining first, and plan to drive to Lasha for two or three days.Then, during this journey, at the foot of the Himalayas, Cheng Wei had a long talk with Liu Qing all night long.
Liu Qing cried that night before deciding to resign and write a letter to Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific executives.Back in the capital, join Didi.Then he lived up to expectations, made great contributions to Didi's financing, and served as Didi's president.
Therefore, chicken soup texts should be read less!
Why do successful people love to tell these stories?First, pretend!The thing I regret the most in my life is founding Alibaba.Hey.Second, who will tell the real secret of a company's success?
...
"morning!"
Liu Qing put the handbag on the assistant's workbench outside the office, and ordered: "Ada, help me make an appointment with Mr. Kalanick of Uber, I need to communicate with him about the merger and acquisition with Uber China.
In addition, the supervisors of various departments were notified to hold video conferences. We must continue to increase subsidies and put enough pressure on Uber China.Force them to sue. "
"Okay. Mr. Liu." Assistant Ada responded quickly.
Liu Qing walked to her office, turned on the computer, and was about to work when her personal mobile phone rang.It was a friend of hers calling.
"Jean, are you at work?"
"Ah."
"I have definite news that uber China has been acquired by an investment institution called Phoenix Fund in Beijing. They are preparing for a media conference here in Shanghai, and it is estimated that it will be announced at 11 o'clock this morning. Their official website and official Weibo It's already hung up."
Liu Qing was taken aback, Phoenix Fund?Is there such a person in the venture capital circle in Asia?Although she left Goldman Sachs, she was in charge of Didi's financing.How can a company that can buy uber China worth 70 billion US dollars be unknown?
"Okay, thank you. I'll treat you to tea when I come to the capital another day." Liu Qing hung up the phone and started to inquire.
She had a hunch that she might have met her match!
At the same time, gossip that uber China has changed hands is spreading rapidly as the public relations team of Phoenix Fund calls the media in Shanghai to invite them to attend the press conference.
...
...
Qiu Yongliang is a 34-year-old reporter at the Shanghai Economic Daily reporter station.Not long after I got to work on Monday morning, I called the editor-in-chief into the office, "Xiaoqiu, go to the International Conference Center. At 11 am, the Phoenix Fund will hold a press conference on the acquisition of Uber (China) there."
Qiu Yongliang asked in surprise: "A temporary mission?"
The editor-in-chief said angrily, "Yes."
Qiu Yongliang questioned: "I'm afraid it's not fake news?" Their Economic Daily is a newspaper affiliated to the State X.Although traffic is not enough in the new media era, authority is definitely enough.In these days, who would dare to believe the press releases of official accounts and self-media?
The editor-in-chief picked up the teacup to drink water, and said dejectedly: "It's true. The economic circle here in Shanghai has basically confirmed this matter. The Phoenix Fund invited various online media. But we need to get the news first-hand reports."
The Economic Daily is a newspaper dedicated to reporting on the domestic economy.If even such a big news as the acquisition of Uber (China) is not obtained first-hand news.That's a joke.
"Okay." Qiu Yongliang understood, and went out quickly to pack his things and went straight to the International Conference Center located by the Huangpu River.On the way, send a WeChat message to Liu Zhen, the head of strategy at Uber (China), who is also in charge of media and government public relations.
Of course, the WeChat account he contacted was not managed by Liu Zhen herself, but the account used by her team to communicate with the media.
Later, information came back: uber China had no knowledge of this.
Qiu Yongliang was even more puzzled, big news!The confidentiality of this acquisition is done!Even the company's executives don't know.
A few days ago, he interviewed Mr. Liu Zhen Liu face to face.Mr. Liu said categorically that Uber (China) is not for sale.Moreover, he is quite disdainful of Phoenix Fund.Slap in the face now!
...
...
Similar to Qiu Yongliang, most of the media in Shanghai are rushing to the International Conference Center of Shanghai after receiving news from insiders.Although they did not receive an invitation, they did not believe that the Phoenix Fund dared to reject them.
Wen Wei Po, Xinmin Evening News, Modu Daily, Oriental Morning Post, Xinmin Weekly, Southern Weekly, Southern Metropolis Daily, Jiefang X News, etc., as well as Internet media notified by Phoenix Fund: Sina, Sohu, Netease, etc.
Also, TV stations and online video media that heard the news.If the Phoenix Fund held a temporary press conference, it must not be possible to send a letter directly to the authoritative media, that would be a scam.Basically, it is sent to the online media.
And the news spread immediately.
When Qiao Shuang, the president of Phoenix Fund and the chairman of Uber (China), walked into the conference room on the third floor with a group of assistants and a team, there was a click.Bursts of white light shone.
Jing Gao was sitting on the media seat in the conference room, with his press card hanging around his neck.Watching this scene.
