Chapter 108: Recruiting a General

Early November.

The inaugural meeting of Ruixiang Industry Win-Win Fund was held in Pangu Seven Star Hotel in Wudaokou.

Zhang Yida also dressed up carefully, and attended with Ruixiang and Yimin executives.

Under the dazzling LED screen in the hall, Zhang Yida, Lei Dongming, Shen Beipeng, and Xu Xiaoming pressed their hands on a crystal ball.

With the countdown on the LED screen, "10, 9, 8...... 3、2、1”。

The crystal ball glowed, and the "Cartoon Elephant" logo of Ruixiang appeared, as well as a series of words "Ruixiang raised $300 million in the first phase of the Industry Win-Win Fund." ”

The reporters in the audience immediately captured this wonderful moment, and the flash lights shone on the audience.

Next is the time for the organizer to speak, Zhang Yida, who is in a suit and leather shoes, walked to the podium with a corsage pinned to his chest.

Zhang Yida was already familiar with speaking on stage, looking at the black and oppressive audience under the stage, he smiled at the microphone and said:

"First of all, I would like to welcome all the guests for their presence and support, and I would like to express my sincere thanks to you on behalf of Ruixiang Fintech Group......

Why launched the Ruixiang Industry Win-Win Fund?

In fact, this idea came to me when I got the first financing from Xu Xiaoming and Shen Beipeng.

As an entrepreneur, you must first have a good idea, then technology, and then capital.

Speaking of funding, I would like to share a little story with you here.

A short story about Ruixiang's Series A financing. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yida glanced at Xu Xiaoming and Shen Beipeng, who were sitting in the first row, and the two were looking at him with a smile.

Zhang Yida continued:

"At that time, Ruixiang had a lot of development strategies and ideas, but due to financial problems, it was impossible to realize the ideas one by one.

In addition, due to limited funds, our office was crowded into the school's entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship center.

The office buildings outside are too expensive to rent at all!

Through the introduction of the school teacher, I met Mr. Xu Xiaoming, and he introduced me to Mr. Shen Beipeng.

The two teachers have helped Ruixiang a lot, and I am very grateful.

After receiving Series A financing, Ruixiang moved to a luxurious 5A Grade A office building.

In the clean and translucent office building, the development of Ruixiang is also on the right track.

Recruit more elite talent and open more business lines......

In one year, Ruixiang has completed the road that traditional enterprises may need to develop for 10 years.

And all this is inseparable from the investors who accompany the growth of the road.

Therefore, after Ruixiang has achieved certain results. I just want to help support some entrepreneurs who are in the same situation as me and help them solve their financial problems.

Plug in their wings and let them fly freely!

Ruixiang Industry Win-Win Fund, I will introduce it in detail here.

You can understand it as VC, or it can be PE and angel.

We don't care what stage the invested company is in, as long as it is a company that we think is good, whether it is a start-up stage or a mature stage, we will invest in it.

In addition, the name of the fund is "win-win", which aims to achieve a win-win situation for both the fund and the invested company, with strategic investment as the main focus and financial investment as the supplement.

We do not interfere with the controlling stake of the company, and are willing to grow and develop together with the invested company.

The investment field is dominated by emerging technology and new consumer economy companies, supplemented by education, medical care and industrial technology.

If you have a good entrepreneurial project, you can send a letter of intent for financing to Ruixiang Industry Win-Win Fund in the future. ”

After the speech, the audience applauded like thunder.

This was followed by a buffet reception.

Zhang Yida took a glass of champagne and began to talk with the visiting investors and entrepreneurs.

Huang Xin of the magnesium group, Zhang Ming of Toutiao, and Chen Wei of Didi were all present, and they were gathering together to chat at this time.

Zhang Yida also stepped forward to say hello: "Three brothers, what are you talking about? ”

Chen Wei smiled, his eyes narrowed into a line, and said: "Mr. Zhang, you are generous! We are fighting to the death with the fast ones, do you think about supporting your brother a little." ”

"That's no problem! How many shares are put out, Ruixiang Industrial Fund eats them all. Zhang Yida knew that he was joking, but if he really sold his share, he could still invest in it.

Chen Wei didn't continue the topic, and said that Penguin is now the majority shareholder of Didi, and it is also led by the upcoming Series D financing, as well as Temasek and DST, both of which are well-known international investment banks.

Ruixiang's energy is too small, and in addition to money, he can't give Didi anything else she wants.

"I heard that Qiandu Takeaway is going to spend 200 billion yuan to come in for subsidies, isn't the pressure particularly great?" Zhang Yida looked at Huang Xin and quipped.

"Fortunately, Qiandu, a big dog, came in to disrupt the market. Let it go sideways for a few days, and the coming days will be long. ”

Huang Xin said with confidence, and when he went to that station, there was a sense of arrogance.

Zhang Yida nodded, Huang Xin is becoming more and more mature, and he has the style of a general. It's no wonder that one competitor after another has been overturned, and many have been beaten by society, and they have also grown.

Qiandu missed the opportunity for the transformation of the mobile Internet, and at this time he desperately grasped the life-saving straw.

O2O was targeted, Qiandu glutinous rice, and Qiandu takeaway were launched one after another. With the blessing of huge funds and flows, this is the time to be in full swing.

Before Zhang Yida could ask Zhang Ming, the other party preemptively asked:

"How about your Huimin bicycle? I think the project is quite interesting, but the management is a big problem. ”

"It's okay! The crowd tactics can be managed. It's relatively low, and the project is not sexy at all, more like a traditional industry. ”

Zhang Yida was more modest and deliberately deprecated himself.

"I think there is a lot of room for cooperation with Didi in this shared bicycle, when will the next round of financing be opened? ”

Chen Wei made a trip, with a very sensitive sense of smell, and set his eyes on Huimin Bicycle.

"Yes, Didi is welcome to participate in the next round of financing. Zhang Yida knew that Chen Wei was very ambitious, otherwise he would not have bought Xiaolan Bicycle in the future.

They are all travel companies, and shared bicycles and taxis can complement each other and share traffic. It has the effect of 1+1>2.

However, Didi is still fighting with Kuai, and she can't take care of this for the time being.

Otherwise, Didi came in and inserted a kick, and Zhang Yida would be a little panicked. This is also a master who is not bad for money, and if you come in and give you a user subsidy, you will be so angry that you will vomit blood.

Shen Beipeng walked over with a goblet in his hand, and said with a smile:

"What are you talking about? I'm here to join in the fun. ”

Zhang Yida, Huang Xin and others greeted him one after another, which can also be seen that Shen Beipeng's status in the venture capital circle is faintly the first person in domestic venture capital.

After a few small talks, Shen Beipeng called Zhang Yida away, and said softly as he walked:

"Didn't you always want to find a CEO for Huimin Bicycle? ”

"Really? That's great. "Zhang Yida's current energy is too much involved in Huimin Bicycle, and next year will usher in a mobile payment war, and it can be said that he is very busy with the split P2P listing of Huimin Financial Services.

Therefore, Zhang Yida has always wanted to find a suitable person to be the CEO of Huimin Bicycle, himself as the chairman to be responsible for the strategic direction, and the CEO to be responsible for the specific implementation and implementation.

His name is Huang Xiaofeng, the former general manager of Uber Shanghai, who joined Procter & Gamble after graduating in 97 and became a management trainee; joined Google in 06 and was the early operation team of Google China; and went to Penguin in 11 years and served as the deputy general manager of Penguin Sou. ”

Shen Beipeng accompanied Zhang Yida and said as he walked.

Zhang Yida remembered who this was, the CEO of Bymotorcycle in his previous life. is indeed a capable person, in the case of FOF first launched to the market for half a year, he led the team of Baimo to catch up, and even faintly surpassed.

This is the difference between having management experience and not having management experience. One is a management master with nearly 20 years of experience in Internet and consumer goods management, and the other is a graduate student at Beijing University who has no management experience and has one or two failed entrepreneurial experiences.

The good situation was missed by Dai Wei in this way, which is why Zhang Yida founded a shared bicycle without him.

Give 1 million to Dai Wei, let him play by himself! Exercise for a few years first, and then talk about being smoothed out by society.

In the private room on the side of the hotel, Zhang Yida met Huang Xiaofeng, and Xu Xiaoming was chatting with him.

Zhang Yida shook hands with Huang Xiaofeng, and everyone sat on the sofa together and chatted.

"Mr. Huang, what do you think of Huimin Bicycle?" Zhang Yida began to ask questions, although he was a celebrity in his previous life, but in the end, he had never dealt with him, so he still had to make a little temptation.

Huang Xiaofeng just left Uber and was preparing to start his own business, so he came to Beijing to pull investment, and happened to catch up with the establishment of Ruixiang Industry Win-Win Fund, so he came here to try his luck.

At the reception, an investor friend introduced him to Shen Beipeng and Xu Xiaoming, who were not interested in his entrepreneurial project, but were very interested in him as a person.

Zhang Yida asked them to find a CEO for Huimin Bicycle, and they felt that this Huang Xiaofeng was not bad, so there was the next scene.

Huang Xiaofeng was born in 75 years, not yet 40 years old at this time, it was the time when he was in his prime, and he was no stranger to the famous Zhang Yida, knowing that this was a rising star, so he also tried his best to perform:

"Huimin Bicycle pioneered the concept of Internet bicycle sharing, which is very extraordinary, and the future development prospects are limitless. ”

Zhang Yida smiled and didn't answer, all kinds of praise he had already heard calloused, it was not worth mentioning.

Seeing this, Huang Xiaofeng knew that he had to show some real skills, and then said:

"But the flaws are also obvious. The technical barriers are not high, and a large number of competitors are about to be ushered in. ”

Seeing that Zhang Yida, Shen and Xu all nodded in agreement, Huang Xiaofeng continued:

"There is only one way to crack it, to occupy the national market as quickly as possible, and to form barriers by scale. Let others cast rat traps, and don't dare to end up easily. ”

Speaking of the point, coinciding with Zhang Yida's opinion, Zhang Yida looked at Huang Xiaofeng and asked:

"How to occupy the national market as quickly as possible?"

Huang Xiaofeng smiled and said:

"It's still a stupid way, financing-building bicycles-subsidizing users-doing high data-refinancing.

The faster the pace, the better, and it's best to launch a funding round in a few months. Leave all competitors behind. ”

It's simple and unpretentious, but it's one of the most effective.

Zhang Yida looked at Huang Xiaofeng and said with a smile:

"I want to invite Mr. Huang to come to Huimin Bicycle as CEO, I wonder if Mr. Huang is interested in joining?"

Huang Xiaofeng listened to Zhang Yida's question to him before, and he expected it in his heart, and he was afraid that he was trying to recruit himself.

After hesitating for a moment, Huang Xiaofeng stretched out his right hand and said, "Happy!"

Zhang Yida also stretched out his hand to shake Huang Xiaofeng tightly, and said with a happy face:

"Welcome to the Huimin Cycling Family!"

Shen Beipeng and Xu Xiaoming glanced at each other, this matter is done! They have always been worried that Zhang Yida has too much career and is too distracted, and now this problem can finally be solved.

Zhang Yida was also very happy, and poached the future CEO of Baimo Bicycle to see what Fu Weiwei and Li Bing would do.

One is a journalist and a media background, and cross-industry bicycle sharing. One focus is on electric vehicles. Baimo Bicycle still wants to reach the height of his previous life, and he will never give them this opportunity.

For Huang Xiaofeng, it is also a lucky thing to join Huimin Bicycle, a company with a bright future.

He felt that whether he had a chance to be brilliant in his life was all pinned on Huimin Bicycle.

Secretly cheer yourself up, you must bring Huimin Bicycle to a new height and open a new brilliant chapter for yourself!
