Chapter 226: Acceptance

Yanqi Zhang is the General Manager of Uber China's Western and Northern Regions. He ranked first in the order volume of both Beijing and Rongcheng. Especially in Chengdu, Uber has a very big advantage here.

Employees of Uber (China) Rongcheng are even more enthusiastic about the acquisition of Phoenix Fund.

In the conference room of the Rongcheng branch, more than a dozen executives from the western district were present. Video conferencing is not yet connected.

"Mr. Zhang, the Phoenix Fund took out 8.2 billion US dollars in one go, and how much money is left to invest. The subsidy war between us and Didi is ongoing, don't run out of ammunition. Then it's better not to buy it. ”

"I think it's the headquarters that has abandoned us. We fought with Didi on the front line, and surrendered directly in the rear. ”

"Yes. Isn't it rumored that Uber was talking to Didi about a merger before the Phoenix Fund acquisition. ”

Zhang Yanqi waved his hand and said, "Don't say it." Plug in the video!"

Uber uses English to communicate internally. The employees are very young, almost all of them are under the age of 33. Moreover, a large number of executives have been to Uber's headquarters in Silicon Valley. Including him. Emotionally, they do have the feeling of being abandoned by headquarters.

And the little-known Phoenix Fund took over Uber (China), and 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 of more than a dozen people arrived at Uber's headquarters in the magic capital.

Liu Zhen's assistant was waiting at the door of the company, "Mr. Jing, Mr. Qiao, the conference room is ready." This side please. ”

"Well, let's go. ”

In the conference room, a dozen of Uber's executives in the magic capital stood up one after another. Itaka immediately walked to the conference room and sat down in front of the camera.

Everyone sat down. The huge conference room suddenly seemed a little crowded. The signal for the video conference came in early. Uber's teams everywhere have been picked up.

Jing Gao glanced around and said, "Let's have a meeting." First of all, I would like to announce a message. Phoenix Fund owns 80% of Uber (China), and I have decided to award 5% of the equity to the company's owners, and the distribution method is based on the contributions of the company's owners..."

"Bang Bang!"

Before Idaka finished his sentence, I don't know which venue suddenly applauded. Then everyone applauded.

Thunderous applause.

Uber China is valued at $7 billion. The 5% equity value is $350 million. Converted into RMB, it is 2.324 billion yuan. Not to mention that the stock price will increase in the future! What if it goes public?

Who doesn't like the boss who pays him? Whoever wants to resign and go quickly. Anyway, Lao Tzu won't go!

Although Liu Zhen, Zhang Yanqi, Wang Ying, and Luo Gang were not in the same place, all kinds of thoughts in their hearts were instantly emptied. Mr. Jing, this is called one force to ten wisdom. Even if they leave, I'm afraid the team below won't follow them.

Will a few of them go?

Depending on their contribution to the company, they will be rewarded with a minimum of $20 million in this stake pool. Who has a sick brain?

Jing Gao took the water cup from Guan Yujia's hand for a while, took a sip of water, and then made a downward gesture: "I know everyone is more excited." I'm also excited to share the company's growth with the team at Uber China..."

Jing Gao spoke for about an hour, explained the equity distribution plan clearly, and then announced the dismissal of the meeting, "Mr. Liu will stay for a while." ”

The meeting room quickly became empty. Uber's internal group has exploded. Everyone is willing to discuss the news of this kind of equity award. Mr. Jing just made it clear that all regular employees who are currently on the job have equity awards.

Liu Zhen is not a beauty, wearing casual clothes in the workplace, sitting on the seat in front of the well high side, feeling unspeakable in her heart.

She was interviewed by a reporter from the Economic Daily at the time, and when asked about Phoenix Fund's intention to buy Uber China, she was very disdainful. And when she was shocked by the news of her acquisition yesterday, she wanted to leave because of disappointment.

What now?

Liu Zhen sighed in his heart. Her truest thought right now is: to make a good impression in front of her new boss.

Jing Gao also left Qiao Shuang and Guan Yujia by his side. Jing Gao introduced: "Mr. Liu, this is Qiao Shuang, chairman of Uber (China). In the future, she will be responsible for the day-to-day affairs of Uber China. This is my assistant Guan Yujia. ”

"Joe is always good. Okay assistant off. Liu Zhen got up and said hello, "I will ask the two of you for advice in the future." ”

Qiao Shuang suddenly wants to take charge of a $7 billion company, and is facing fierce competition in the industry, to be honest, she has no bottom in her heart. Can she not know what level she is? He said politely: "Mr. Liu, I will have to rely on you more in my future work." ”

Guan Yujia got up shyly, "Mr. Liu, hello." ”

After they got to know each other a little, Jing Gao said: "Now is the run-in period, I will stay in the magic capital for a while." Now there are a few things that need to be done by Mr. Liu. ”

"Okay. Liu Zhen embodies the quality of a good professional manager, takes out a notebook, and prepares to record.

Itaka talked about a total of three points. 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 messaging was replaced by zoo software. Office software as usual.

Second, Liu Zhen continues to be responsible for government and media communications for Uber China. So, she arranged to convene a meeting of executives from all districts of Uber. The topic was to discuss equity incentive plans and how to compete with Didi.

Third, 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 problem. First, the main thing is that there is no funding. Second, there are still problems with the user experience of the software. It needs to be modified, otherwise it will be difficult to dry the drip. Third, our map is a Baidu map, which is not accurate enough. Fourth, Didi has access to taxi services, and there is still a debate within us about whether to do so. ”

Jing Gao said: "I will solve the problem of funds." "It's simple to inject funds. He will ask Dayou Bank, a newly acquired bank on Hong Kong Island, to subscribe for a 5% stake in Uber (China) and inject $450 million.

Next, it depends on how much state-owned assets Wang Shishi can help him pull?

After chatting, Qiao Shuang led the team of Phoenix Fund to stay in the office of Uber (China) and began to hand over and run-in. She is now officially leaving Jing Gao's assistant and is replaced by Guan Yujia.

Three days later, as soon as Jing Gao finished the video conference, he received a call from Wang Shishi, "Mr. Jing, do you have time to come to Shencheng for a meal recently?" Let me introduce you to a few friends. ”

Jing Gao smiled, "Okay." ”

Wang Shishi smiled and said, "That's okay." Confirm the itinerary and you notify me. I'll send someone to pick you up at the airport. In addition, you can call Mr. Xie of Xia Shang Real Estate, I will introduce Yu Liang to know him, and let the two of them talk about specific cooperation. ”

"Good. ”
