In early December, after merging with Didi, Uber became a boom in the domestic ride-hailing sector. Its chairman, Qiao Shuang, and its president, Liu Zhen, have both become upstarts in the Internet field. Invitations to interviews and conferences are constant.

In late December, Uber moved into a new building in Pudong, demonstrating the strength of this Internet technology company to the outside world! The building has a total of 36 floors and is purchased at a price of 11.2 billion yuan.

At that time, the media on the Modu and the Internet reported one after another, giving the company high praise. After all, he is already a giant in the field of mobility!

However, undercurrents lurking beneath the surface of the water emerge. This is unknown to the outside world.

Tuesday, January 4th. In the afternoon of the magic capital, the sky was gloomy. In his office on the 36th floor of the Uber building, Qiao Shuang, the chairman of Uber, looked at the computer screen and frowned. She didn't read a word.

Mr. Jing, today's plane to the magic capital. However, it has been clearly ordered that you are not allowed to go to the airport to meet you.

This is actually to convey Mr. Jing's dissatisfaction with Uber's current internal situation.

Qiao Shuang walked back and forth in her office, uneasy. After Uber's merger with Didi, the "internal contradictions" that have always been contained within Uber began to come to the fore, and then became more and more acute.

This internal contradiction, to put it bluntly, is a struggle for power. No one will obey anyone!

If we go back, we have to trace back to before Phoenix Fund acquired Uber, when Uber (China), the predecessor of "Uber", was established. At that time, a total of four people were entrusted with important responsibilities by Kalanick, the CEO of Uber.

They are: Liu Zhen, head of strategy at Uber China, Zhang Yanqi, general manager of Uber North and West, Wang Ying, general manager of Central Region, and Luo Gang, general manager of Southern Region.

At that time, Uber (China)'s market competition style was regional-based. And Kalanick took the "imperial heart" in the United States in Silicon Valley remote control China company. He swayed from side to side, sometimes trusting Liu Zhen, sometimes trusting Zhang Yanqi, and sometimes...

This leads to two problems.

First, the four founding fathers, none of whom are convinced. Even their work is not coordinated with each other. At that time, Uber (China) had a difficult time appointing a CEO. In the end, it was Kalanick himself.

Second, the mountaineering within Uber (China) is very serious.

After the acquisition by Phoenix Fund, these two issues have not changed. Mr. Jing handed over the position of president to Liu Zhen for remuneration and strengthened the authority of the headquarters. Recently, she has been cooperating with Liu Zhen to "cut power", but the resistance she has encountered can be imagined.

...

...

Yanqi Zhang is currently the head of Uber's security department. He works right here at headquarters.

Wang Ying (female), the central district manager, and Luo Gang, the southern district manager, who were called back to the magic capital for a meeting, both drank tea with him before the meeting began.

There's a subtle psychology to this. When the four veterans came together to found Uber (China), Liu Zhen was promoted alone, and the three of them were a little bit of the same enemy.

"Mr. Jing didn't let anyone pick him up at the airport. I guess I'm so angry that I'm choking! What do you think?" Wang Ying sat on the hospitality sofa, smiling and drinking tea. The so-called mountain, in fact, is mainly their three powerful factions.

Zhang Yanqi smiled and said calmly: "Now there is the Galaxy Group from the outside. Mr. Jing should not make a big move. But we have to give him an account. ”

Luo Gang smiled, "Don't you two say you're unprepared?"

Zhang Yanqi and Wang Ying each laughed.

At this time, the secretary came in and said, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Qiao has informed me that Mr. Jing's car is about to arrive." We need to go downstairs to meet us. ”

Zhang Yanqi said sarcastically: "Hehe, the secretary's background is so good, and he thinks about it well." Let's go. ”

...

...

Idaka's motorcade slowly stopped in front of Uber's headquarters building. Uber executives were all waiting in the lobby on the first floor. More than 20 people in suits and leather shoes greeted Jing Gao and his party in the hall.

Jing Gao didn't give a face, shook hands with them one by one, and then took the elevator to the large conference room on the 36th floor surrounded by everyone.

The crowd came in. The meeting room is spacious and bright. In the center is a hollow oval mahogany conference table. There is a carpet on the floor. Huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows can see the meandering Huangpu River.

Jing Gao sat in the main seat of the conference room, turned his head to Qiao Shuang and said, "This is much stronger than the office when we first acquired it." ”

"The conditions are better now. Qiao Shuang described her as a little haggard, smiled a little reluctantly, took the tea from the little assistant, and put it in front of Jing Gao.

Jing Gao nodded, looked around, waited for everyone to sit down, and said, "I asked Xiao Qiao to inform you, are all here?" Who's going to tell me what's going on with Uber right now?" he dropped the gel pen in his hand and leaned back in the soft, comfortable back chair.

Smack.

The gel pen rolled off the table to the floor. The two dozen or so Uber executives in the conference room were all silent. None of them dared to speak out.

As a newcomer, he was specially named by the headquarters to attend the comfort of increasing his knowledge, and witnessed the bosses in the company, trembling like little quail in front of Mr. Jing, trying to narrow his sense of existence.

One minute, five minutes, ten minutes...

There was an awkward silence in the room, and the pressure weighed heavily on some people's hearts. Mr. Jing gave a speech when he bought Uber before, and his speech was very down-to-earth, and the employees supported him.

This may in some ways dilute some of the rumors on the "rivers and lakes". For example, the well is always bloodied and meager management.

Jing Gao directly named him, "Zhang Yanqi, tell me why the financial and human resources of the headquarters have no control over the regional company, and the equity of the regional company does not belong to Uber?"

Zhang Yanqi was confident in the office just now, and ridiculed Qiao Shuang for being a secretary. It's going to be sweating on your forehead.

You can sit in this conference room, regardless of the level of work. At least it's a very shrewd person. Mr. Jing called Mr. Qiao "Little Joe" in public, and at the same time bypassed the president of Uber and directly named Zhang Yanqi, which in itself already shows his attitude.

In the face of the thunderous wrath of Mr. Jing, some people found that the things they thought they could rely on were fake and false.

Do you really think that Mr. Jing will not dare to "kill" you?

Zhang Yanqi lowered his head and sincerely admitted his mistake: "Mr. Jing, I am responsible for this matter." ”

Jing Gao said unceremoniously: "Of course you are responsible. Don't think I'm deaf or blind. I'm going to ask you in person, do you still want to work at Uber?

Don't be in a hurry to answer me! Staying will be punished. Your performance bonus for this year is cancelled. Then, you go to the West End yourself and get rid of all the troublesome thorns in me. ”

Zhang Yanqi said: "I think." ”

Jing Gao ignored him anymore and asked Wang Ying and Luo Gang, "Xiaoyuan Bicycle is still short of a CEO, which of you two wants to go?"

Wang Ying hurriedly replied: "Mr. Jing, I am willing to go." I'm willing to go. ”

Jing Gao said: "I'll give you 10 places, you know who you want to bring with you, right?" said, looking at Luo Gang, "Do you want to transfer to Anhe Wood, or do you want to leave?"

Luo Gang scolded Zhang and Wang in his heart. Dogs, say that they have the same hatred, and each one is faster than the other. What does Anhe Wood do? He went to sell furniture from an Internet company, and said, "Mr. Jing, I will submit an application for resignation in a moment." ”

Jing Gao nodded, made a gesture, and the little secretary next to him invited Luo Gang out of the conference room.

Jing Gao looked around again and said, "The chairman said that there are no factions in the party, and there are thousands of strange things. I allow factions in the company, but I don't allow day-to-day work to be affected. In addition, many of the people here have sublime plots!"

Liu Zhen, Zhang Yanqi, Wang Ying, Kang Xi and others looked at the well where they drank water, and they were all shocked.

Jing Gao drank water to moisten his throat and said, "I clearly tell you that within Uber, I mainly use Chinese to work in my mind. Uber wants to be a global company, but a global company based on the Chinese market.

It's not a fucking global citizen, a global corporation, but actually a slave and a two-devil enterprise. What a Martian perspective.

What the fuck do you mean by insisting on working in English? Corporate culture, corporate culture! Forget what country you are from? If you don't want to do it, you can submit a resignation application.

Another thing is that I will appoint my assistant Jiang Zi to set up an integrity and compliance department in Uber to thoroughly investigate violations and violations of the law within Uber. I now ask for your opinions, and if you object, please raise your hand. ”

There was silence in the conference room.

Sitting against the wall, he couldn't complain about it. When I'm done, who's in favor and who's against? I'll go, and I'll open this one, who the fuck would dare to oppose it. It's tired and crooked.

Of course, from a man's point of view, it's really cool to ask this in public.

Jing Gao knocked on the conference table, "Adjournment." ”1603462332
