Chapter 227 Receiving
Zhang Yanqi is the general manager of Uber (China)'s western and northern regions.He ranked first in both Beijing and Rongcheng in terms of orders.Especially in Rongcheng, where Uber has great advantages.
Employees of Uber (China) Rongcheng have been discussing the acquisition of Phoenix Fund continuously.
In the conference room of the Rongcheng branch, more than a dozen executives from the West District were present.The video conference is not connected yet.
"Mr. Zhang, the Phoenix Fund took out 82 billion US dollars in one go, and how much money he has left to invest in. The subsidy war between us and Didi is ongoing, so don't run out of ammunition. It's better not to buy."
"I think the headquarters abandoned us. We fought Didi on the front line, and we surrendered directly from the rear."
"Yes. Isn't there a rumor that Uber was discussing the merger with Didi before the acquisition by Phoenix Fund."
Zhang Yanqi waved her hand and said, "Don't even talk about it. Join the video!"
Uber communicates in English internally.The employees are very young, basically under 33 years old.Moreover, a large number of management have been to the uber headquarters in Silicon Valley.including him.Emotionally, they do feel abandoned by the headquarters.
And the little-known Phoenix Fund took over Uber (China), it is really difficult for them to have the confidence to continue to fight Didi.
...
...
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Jing Gao and his party arrived at Uber's headquarters in Shanghai.
Liu Zhen's assistant was waiting at the door of the company, "Mr. Jing, Mr. Qiao, the conference room is ready. This way please."
"Well, let's go."
In the conference room, a dozen of Uber's executives in Shanghai stood up.Jing Gao walked to the conference room and sat down facing the camera without hesitation.
Everyone took their seats.The huge conference room suddenly seemed a little crowded.The video conference signal came in early.Uber's teams all over the place are connected.
Jing Gao glanced around and said, "Let's have a meeting. First, I'd like to make an announcement. Phoenix Fund holds 80% of the shares in Uber (China), and I've decided to reward everyone in the company with 5% of the shares. Formulated with the contributions of all owners of the company…”
"Clap clap clap!"
Jing Gao hadn't finished his sentence, and suddenly someone applauded in some venue.Then, everyone applauded.
There was thunderous applause.
Uber (China) is valued at $70 billion. A 5% stake is worth $3.5 million.Converted into RMB is 23.24 billion yuan.Not to mention that the stock price will increase in the future!If listed, the price will take off directly.
Who doesn't like a boss who sends money?Whoever wants to resign should do so immediately.Anyway, I won't go!
Liu Zhen, Zhang Yanqi, Wang Ying, and Luo Gang, the four Uber executives, were not in the same place, but all kinds of thoughts in their minds were instantly cleared.Boss Jing is called one force to drop ten wisdom.Even if they leave, I'm afraid the team below will not follow them.
Will they leave?
According to their contribution to the company, they can get at least 2 million US dollars in rewards in this equity pool.Who is mentally ill?
Jing Gao waited for a while, took the water glass from Guan Yujia, took a sip of water slowly, and then made a gesture of pressing down.The Uber employees in the various venues all looked at the young man in the middle of the main venue, their gazes were hot!
Jing Gao said with a smile: "I know everyone is quite excited. I am also very happy to share the company's development achievements with the Uber (China) team. The specific details of the equity incentive are..."
He spoke for about half an hour, explained the equity allocation plan clearly, and then announced: "Sun Tzu's Art of War said: Those who share the same desire win! The biggest enemy of Uber (China) is Didi. And the biggest enemy of Uber is Didi. The problem is funding.
I will leave the battle against Didi to you.You are the best!Leave financing to me.At present, it has been confirmed that Dayou Bank on Hong Kong Island will subscribe for 5% of Uber (China) shares and inject US$4.5 million.
Please rest assured that funds will never be short of money!So, tell me now, do you have the confidence to defeat Didi? "
Only a fool would say "yes".Didi accounts for nearly 7% of the national travel sector.Uber only has the upper hand in a few cities.But in the atmosphere at the scene, how high is the morale of Uber employees?
"Have!"
I don't know who yelled, and then all the video conference venues became agitated.Jing Gao asked again at the right time: "Are you confident in defeating Didi?"
"Yes!" Nearly 18 full-time staff and more than 800 interns shouted in unison in 1000 video conference venues, and the sound shook the sky.
Guan Yujia sat on the right side of Jing Gao, watching Jing Gao use the simplest and most straightforward means to encourage and mobilize morale.And the employees at Uber gave him a positive response!At this moment, he is like a real emperor!
Qiao Shuang is also reading management books recently.In her mind, she couldn't match the profound theories in the book with the scene in front of her.But she knows why.Not just monetary incentives.Uber (China)'s more than [-] interns are basically college students. They are young, passionate, and passionate.
When their new general, who brought supplies and ammunition, gave the order for war, these men decided to follow.And the vibe affects other people.
...
...
The first meeting lasted only an hour and a half, but it worked out really well.
After the meeting, Uber's internal groups exploded.Everyone is willing to discuss the news of equity incentives and company financing.Mr. Jing just made it clear that all current full-time employees will be rewarded with equity.
All interns who have been on the job for more than three months will be formalized.
In December 2015, more than 12 interns at Uber had an incident.
You know, there are forty or fifty cities in the country with a population of over one million.Uber, on the other hand, has general managers in 18 cities or regions, with only more than 800 formal employees, less than one-fifth of Didi.
Therefore, in the same city, Didi has far more teams than Uber.
And Uber's response is to recruit a large number of interns.But what does Uber do with its interns?The interview was difficult, the contract was not signed, and the regularization was not given.This is a common method used by foreign companies, the purpose is to save wages!
If this was done in the first decade of the 21st century, it would be understandable.Still doing this in 2016, it can only be said that foreigners are really arrogant to Chinese people.
Who doesn't explode, who has no opinion?Many Uber interns who did not become regulars turned around and joined Didi.Therefore, it is really not surprising that uber China was killed by Didi in the hands of Kalanick.deserve it!
Now that Jing Gao is taking over Uber (China), it is natural to give college students the treatment they deserve.And he also came from his student days. Many college students are full of affection and sense of belonging to their first job!
Of course, the premise is that the company does not do things too frustratingly!
Rongcheng, in the conference room.
The video signal has been interrupted.Zhang Yanqi clapped his hands, and said to more than a dozen senior subordinates: "Everyone heard Mr. Jing's words just now. Please cheer me up! Now I want money and money, and there are people and people. I want to do a big job !"
The competition between Didi and Uber (China) reached a fever pitch in May 2016.By August, Uber (China) had fallen behind.There are many problems.Now equity incentives are in sight, 5% is only the first phase, and there will be follow-ups every year.
He now has nothing to worry about before the meeting, but is going to let go of his hands and feet and start another career.He has to make some achievements so that he can get the equity!
"Mr. Zhang, we will execute what you say."
"Yeah, fuck it."
This scene happened in other conference rooms of Uber (China).
Magic City.
After the meeting ended, Jing Gao asked Liu Zhen to stay, "Mr. Liu, please stay here for a while."
"Oh, okay." Liu Zhen is not a beautiful woman. Wearing casual clothes in the workplace, she sat on the seat in front of Jing Gao, feeling unspeakable in her heart.
She was interviewed by a reporter from the Economic Daily and was very dismissive when asked about Phoenix Fund’s intention to acquire Uber China.Where did the nameless man come from?And when the news of her being acquired yesterday hit her, she wanted to leave because she was disappointed.
What now?
Liu Zhen sighed inwardly.Her most real idea now is: to make a good impression in front of the new boss.With the shareholding ratio of Phoenix Fund, the young man in front of her could kill her at any time.
Qiao Shuang and Guan Yujia were left beside Jing Gao.Jing Gao introduced: "President Liu, this is Qiao Shuang, the chairman of Uber (China). She will be in charge of the daily affairs of Uber (China) in the future. This is my assistant Guan Yujia."
"Hello, Mr. Qiao. Hello, Assistant Guan." Liu Zhen got up to say hello, and said, "I would like to ask the two of you for your advice in the future."
Qiao Shuang was about to take charge of a $70 billion company all of a sudden, and was facing fierce competition in the industry. To be honest, she didn't know what to do.Can she not know what level she is?He said politely: "Mr. Liu, I will rely on you more for my future work."
Guan Yujia stood up shyly, "Mr. Liu, hello."
After they got to know each other for a while, Jing Gao said: "Now is the running-in period, and I will stay in Shanghai for a while. Now there are a few things that you need to do, Mr. Liu."
"Okay." Liu Zhen showed the quality of a good professional manager, took out a notebook, and prepared to record.
Jing Gao made three points in total.First, the financial department, human resources, data security and other departments will be directly under the leadership of chairman Qiao Shuang.At the same time, all internal communication has been replaced with zoo software, and WeChat and DingTalk are not allowed.Office software remains the same.
Second, Liu Zhen continues to be in charge of government and media public relations for Uber (China).This is a firefighting position, and Uber needs Liu Zhen's connections.
In addition, ask her to arrange to convene another small meeting of Uber's executives from each district.The topic is to discuss the equity incentive plan and how to compete with Didi.
Thirdly, please ask Liu Zhen to put forward the areas that Uber (China) needs to improve from her personal perspective.
Liu Zhen said: "Mr. Jing, Uber's current problems. First, the most important thing is that there is no funds. Second, there are still problems with the user experience of the software. It needs to be revised, otherwise it will be difficult to do Didi. Third. , Our map is Baidu map, which is not accurate enough. Fourth, Didi has access to the taxi service, and there is still controversy within us about whether to access it.”
She was very frank, Jing Gao had a good impression of her.Said: "I will solve the problem of funds. Don't worry about it." Next, it depends on how much state capital Wang Shitou can help him get?
"The rest, Xiao Qiao, you assign to various functional departments to solve and supervise well."
We chatted for another two hours and had dinner together.On the second day, Qiao Shuang led the Phoenix Fund team to work in Uber (China).Now she can be regarded as officially resigned as Jing Gao's assistant, and the position will be taken over by Guan Yujia.
...
...
Three days later, Jing Gao had just finished a video conference on equity incentives at Uber headquarters, when he received a call from Wang Shitou, "Mr. Jing, do you have time to come to Shencheng for dinner recently? Let me introduce some friends for you to meet. "
Jing Gao smiled and said, "Okay."
Wang Shitou smiled and said: "That's fine. You can inform me to confirm the itinerary. I will send someone to pick you up at the airport. In addition, you can call Mr. Xie from Xiashang Real Estate. I will introduce Yu Liang to him and let them know about the specific cooperation. Let's talk."
"it is good."
