2012 was the first year that mobile Internet users surpassed PC Internet users for the first time, and it was the dream of many programmers to develop an app and change the world.

In the summer, Cheng Wei, who left his job from Ahri, happened to see the successful financing of Hailo, a British taxi-hailing app, and the post-80s generation was inspired to try to solve the problem of difficulty in taking a taxi with a mobile phone app before he knew how to drive.

Liu Chuanzhi, the daughter of Liu Chuanzhi, who joined Didi two years later as chief operating officer, was still serving as the general manager of Asia at Goldman Sachs.

That lady of the sky may not know who Cheng Wei is.

Cheng Wei is also difficult to walk into the side of the bigwigs, at this time what can support him is the 100,000 yuan in his hand and the 700,000 yuan given by his colleague Wang Gang.

They took the software and sold it to the major taxi companies in Beijin, and in the end, only a small company with 70 cars was willing to try it.

Initially, there were only a dozen drivers online, and in order to retain the only drivers, Cheng Wei not only had to subsidize the drivers, but also recruited a special person.

His job is to take the company's money to take a taxi around the Third Ring Road in Beijin, with a budget of 400 yuan a day.

Paying to subsidize drivers and sending people to take a taxi, 800,000 yuan will soon be spent.

Wen Xiaoguang receives many business plans every day, and most of the time he will not choose to meet those entrepreneurs or interfere with Li Yidan's work.

She comes from the investment world and has already managed the investment department like an independent company.

They inspected the project, had a professional team to make an estimate, and the more promising Li Yidan met for an interview.

However, Weituo is not a venture capital company, and the establishment of an investment department is only to improve the company's ecology, so Li Yidan has two restrictions, the first is the field limit, and the second is the upper limit of the investment amount of 5 million US dollars.

For some unrelated fields such as real estate and medicine, the company will not invest indiscriminately, but just pay attention to see if there will be anything new to the Internet + medical care.

As for app development, it is a key area, and they have to look at dozens of them every day.

Especially in Europe and the United States, which has been successful, if someone imitates it in China, it is more likely to enter Li Yidan's line of sight.

Internet + transportation taxi software is one of the key points, there are precedents in the United States, South Korea, and the United Kingdom, especially Uber, Wen Xiaoguang himself has invested early.

Li Yidan had a lot of thoughts, so he submitted this plan to Wen Xiaoguang's case.

"Is the product out now?" Wen Xiaoguang changed his previous attitude of throwing the business plan into the trash, which made Li Yidan feel that his approach was right.

"It should still be in development. She explained, "Didn't our company open an email address?" you said last year. Therefore, many entrepreneurs will try to send it inside, and I will take a look at some emails that have been screened by the machine, and this should only be tentative. ”

"I know that you have invested in Uber in the United States, so I will listen to your opinion. ”

It's July, and a company doesn't even have a product, so it's hard to talk about anything.

"Wait and see, you can pay attention. Wen Xiaoguang recognized her carefulness, "Four months later, you will give me another copy of their report, not only this family, but also peers." ”

This adds a lot of work, but it doesn't seem so mysterious.

"Uber has proven that ride-hailing software is viable, and now there are definitely more than one imitation in China, and we can observe it and choose the most suitable one. ”

"Okay. Then I'm going to find someone to focus on the field of Internet taxi, what do you think?"

Wen Xiaoguang spread his hands: "That's the decision that you, the general manager of the investment department, should make." ”

Li Yidan smiled.

She thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I'm looking for a chance to talk to you." For example, if you think that the taxi software is very promising, maybe we don't have to stick to Beijin, maybe there are opportunities in Paris, London, and Frankfurt. ”

Not really.

"First of all, this investment department is the investment department of Weituo, even if it focuses on foreign countries, it is necessary to follow the footsteps of the line and harvest its periphery. There is nothing to see in Europe, Europe is already a desert of the Internet, even if you focus on the point of taxi software, the old Europeans will not be able to make a name. ”

"If you want to look abroad, just look at Asia, WeChat is developing payment business, so in the future, LINE will definitely have its own 'pay', do you know what I mean?"

Li Yidan asked: "Why do you think that taxi software can't be done in Europe?"

"It's not prejudice, they're just finished. Wen Xiaoguang shrugged his shoulders, "Taxi apps are sure to hurt taxi drivers, and this group will protest and march." So let's say a Parisian Internet company wants to promote its business all over Europe, and the countries in the EU will oppose it. ”

"Because after the success of this company, the taxes were handed over to the French government, and high-paying jobs were born in Paris, but taxi drivers in the rest of the EU suffered and got nothing. ”

"In fact, by analogy, any new enterprise that subverts traditional industries and harms traditional interest groups cannot do so in the EU, which is a structural constraint. Therefore, we will look at the United States for mobile Internet development, not old Europe, they can only be reduced to the backyard of American companies. ”

After saying this, Li Yidan was also a little convinced, it turned out that in his opinion, at least in the field of mobile Internet, Europe has ended.

"No wonder you rarely go to Europe. ”

"I've been to Italy. ”

Speaking of this, Wen Xiaoguang covered up: "I'm a light football fan, if I have free time and there happens to be a football game, I will take the time to watch it, and what attracts me in Europe now is football." ”

"Then do you have a plan to buy a team?" Li Yidan said: "I mean that if you like it and you have a chance, it is better to try it out, and having a hobby adjustment is conducive to having a good life and work state." ”

"Having trouble with my current status?"

Li Yidan got up with a strange smile, he didn't look at each other, only if he meant something, "The female colleagues in the company all said that you must have fallen out of love, so you have been in such a state recently." My experience has been...... Sometimes selfless work can be a little useful, but new love ...... may be more useful. ”

Wen Xiaoguang raised his head and looked at her, "Who said I fell out of love?"

"Women's intuition is accurate, and the intuition of boys who focus on it is even more accurate. Li Yidan blinked his right eye and came to 'blink', "Didn't you notice that you are back to being single and make the company's female colleagues very energetic at work?"

Sling the bull.

"Get to work. ”

"Okay, Mr. Wen. Walking to the door, she turned her head again, "I know some people abroad, if you want to buy a European team, I can pay attention to it for you, or it can be used as a project of the investment department." Serie A or Premier League?"

Italy has been out by the European debt crisis, and Serie A is still there.

"Premier League. ”

In the first ten years, Serie A was known as the mini-World Cup, and the second decade was better in the Premier League.

However, it is impossible in the name of the company, and the money from financing is not such a spending.

can only be in his personal name, personal words are not much cash, not capital, this private fund in the name of Wen Xiaoguang, holds about 800 million US dollars in cash, after several years of asset allocation, now more than half of it has been spent.

One place to go is to invest in companies like WhatsApp.

In addition, he also bought shares of many technology companies, although he is not a financial expert, but the stock prices of several powerful high-tech companies in the US stock market have soared, which is still known.

In ten years, Amazon's stock has risen 23 times, Netflix has risen 40 times, and last year Steve Jobs led Apple to the world's first market capitalization, but that figure is more than $300 billion, and Cook is even more simply, full of stock K-line charts, and the market value will exceed one trillion after eight years. Google is a little worse, but it has also broken trillions of dollars later.

That is, Xiaozha is a little big because of privacy issues.

But it's still good at this point.

Therefore, it is difficult for Wen Xiaoguang to calculate, how much surplus is in asset allocation, and how much is the total amount combined, there is no need to cash out when he is not short of money, and he has to pay 15% tax on investment profits in the United States, and then buy it after taking it out, isn't it idle to pay taxes to the U.S. government.

And with the success of Weituo, in fact, the bulk of his personal worth is no longer in that investment profit.

The people in the company have discovered his emotional problems.

One pass ten, ten pass hundred, now it's good, Wen Xiaoguang has become the ultimate hot item.

There is always no shortage of people who do things......
