The comfortable and leisurely weekend passed quickly, and An Yi came to the company to work early in the morning. Young people are very enthusiastic about work. After another three to five years of working, this enthusiasm will be worn away.
An Yi sat down at his workstation, turned on his computer, and started browsing his emails. This is not to say that he, a team leader of the Beijing branch, is very busy, but that many company emails are sent in bulk.
For example, Phoenix Fund President Qiao Shuang occasionally sends all-employee letters. Or issue company resolutions, department structures, and personnel adjustments. This is visible to all staff.
Another example is the various meeting resolutions issued by the Beijing branch and departments, and the copywriting of subsidized competitions, which can also be seen by employees of relevant companies and departments.
"Xiaoyi, have you had breakfast?" A good-looking female white-collar worker came over with a glass of soy milk and patted Anyi's shoulder with a smile.
Handsome little boys can easily win the favor and likes of their older sisters. They may not really want to drink soy milk, but "feeding" it will indeed bring happiness from the heart.
An Yi sat on the chair and turned around helplessly, "Sister Wei, I've eaten. Thank you."
Sister Wei covered her mouth and chuckled, "You're welcome." She left the soy milk, twisted her waist slightly, and walked back to her seat.
An Yi was accustomed to the little incident that happened in the morning. He prepared some information and soon received a notification on the internal chat software Zoo: An Yi came over for a morning meeting.
An Yi took his notebook and mobile phone to the conference room and sat near the door of the conference room. Pan Jianbo, the head of their second department, quickly opened the door and came in. After everyone arrived, he said: "
Let me tell you some good news now! Given that Didi has given up on other medium-sized cities some time ago, it only competes with us in first- and second-tier cities across the country. The big boss said that as long as Didi’s shareholders are willing to withdraw, he will acquire Didi at a valuation of US$33.5 billion. "
"Old fan, is this useless? For example, who can sell our shares in Uber to Didi? It's impossible."
Jinggao announced the "employee stock ownership" plan at the meeting on the first day he took over Uber. And these days, it has been gradually implemented. Many of Uber's old employees have strong equity ownership, and this equity is issued in exchange for signing a contract. There is a clause in the standard contract that cannot be sold to competitors.
Pan Jianbo held a gel pen in his hand, looked around the dozen team leaders in the conference room, chuckled, and said, "Don't you understand this? After so many rounds of financing, Didi's equity has long been diluted. It has not been listed. The company does not have AB shares or voting rights. It can only sign the agreement in private.
Even though Didi's shareholders have no right to interfere with Didi's operations, the big boss's move made Didi's shareholders feel itchy. Doesn’t capital love money? It is said, it is said that the Magic City headquarters is almost crowded these days. "
"Ha ha."
Pan Jianbo said again: "So, everyone should have seen the email signed by Mr. Qiao this morning, right? It is better to chase the poor bandits with courage and not to be a tyrant. What do you mean? That is, our Uber is not just a medium-sized city with a population of one million. To gain the lead in share. Next, we will have to conquer the markets in first- and second-tier cities.”
An Yi has a sharp mind and said: "Minister Pan, when Didi was dominant in the first half of this year, they couldn't squeeze us out of the country's major cities. Why can we drive Didi out now? He just needs to gather funds to A few cities can form local advantages."
Of course Pan Jianbo knew his youngest team leader. Mr. Kang personally arranged it. He put down his pen and said with a smile: "Xiao An, it's good that you can think of this. We want to squeeze Didi out of the country. That's definitely not possible in all cities. However, we must maximize our market share in any city.
What is our magic weapon? No user can refuse the 30% discount. If there is, then we will give you 50% off. If there is more, then we will give it a 30% discount. "
I went and a bunch of people finally understood that the magic weapon is to burn money! This is the essence of competition in recent years in the “thousand-group war”, “payment battle” and “shared travel”.
Pan Jianbo said: "The tasks assigned by Mr. Qiao personally, when Didi's various capitals come into contact with us, we must first get the capital in the two cities of Beijing and Shanghai. Especially in Beijing, where Didi started, we will get Number one in the market. Next, I will assign tasks..."
An Yi took notes attentively. There were some ups and downs in my heart. This is a call to arms! He was lucky enough to be a part of this great battle.
…
…
On September 26, Uber (China) continued to increase its discounts in first- and second-tier cities across the country, and continued to engage in close business competition with Didi.
In fact, if it was early market competition, Didi might be able to report Uber to interrupt their rhythm. However, since the "Management Measures" were promulgated at the end of July this year, everything is considered to be in compliance with the law.
Liu Zhen is a veteran who has been competing with Didi for more than a year. The public relations team she leads is not a novice who just took over. She has experience and routines in putting out fires everywhere. Therefore, this battle is purely commercial competition.
Magic City.
The night is as rich as ink. In this magical city with distinct four seasons, the end of September is already autumn. In the executive corridor of the Peninsula Hotel.
Shen Nanpeng, the head of Hongbin (China), and Xie Ying from Alibaba Investment were drinking wine in the administrative corridor and admiring the night view of the Magic City. Looking down from here, there are very few people on the streets.
Shen Nanpeng said: "Mr. Xie, we have to do something. I heard that many of our partners are in private contact with Phoenix Fund. Especially those foreign capitals."
Xie Ying sipped her wine and sighed softly, "It's all about making money. What did Tencent's Mr. Liu say? Mr. Shen, do you have any news?"
Shen Nanpeng shook his head, “Mr. The idea of offending completely. This is a smart man."
He actually offended Jing Gao, and he had to deal with it quickly. Otherwise, if Phoenix Fund does not accept Hongbin (China) shares priced at US$33.5 billion, he will be completely embarrassed in Shengtang.
Xie Ying thought for a moment and realized that Jing Gao from Phoenix Fund really did not intend to offend most of the venture capital circle at once, and said, "Okay."
Now whoever wants to believe in the terms of Didi’s transfer agreement is a fool. Didi is gone. Contact Phoenix Fund first to get the best price first.
