Chapter 341: Zhonghe Group

When Zhang Yida and Lu Qi walked out of the Capital International Airport side by side, the reporters waiting here immediately surrounded them.

While chasing the marching team of Zhang Yida and others, he handed the microphone and interviewed:

"Dr. Lu, have you joined Ruixiang Group?"

"Dr. Lu, you have been in charge of the artificial intelligence department when you were the vice president of Microsoft, do you want to return to China to promote the implementation of artificial intelligence in China?"

"Dr. Lu, I heard that Mr. Zhang Yida personally went to the United States to invite you out of the mountain, did you agree to his invitation?"

"Dr. Lu~Dr. Lu~"

Several of Mr. Zhang's bodyguards opened their hands and stopped the reporters on either side of the line so as not to impact their employers.

Looking at this battle, Zhang Yida was also speechless, these reporters are too well-informed!

As soon as he went to the United States to invite Lu Qi out of the mountain, these reporters came to the airport to surround people.

It's no wonder that Zhang Yida didn't do a good job of secrecy, mainly because Lu Qi is too famous.

As soon as he resigned from Microsoft, domestic technology companies were all gearing up to recruit this talent.

The headhunting company was more quickly, and he had already gone to Lu Qi's house to squat.

As soon as Zhang Yida and Yuan Zheng visited Lu Qi's house, they were noticed by the people who were squatting.

After that, Zhang Yida stayed in the United States for a few days, during which he met with Lu Qi many times.

Then the information was transmitted back to China, and well-informed reporters came to the airport to stop people, ready to get first-hand news.

Looking at the reporters who surrounded themselves and others, there were still many passers-by watching the excitement, and the more people surrounded them, the more they were about to block the traffic.

Zhang Yida hurriedly greeted the reporter and said, "Dr. Lu Qi has just gotten off the plane and is a little tired! I will not accept interviews today, and everyone is welcome to attend the press conference in three days!"

"Mr. Zhang, what is the press conference?

"Mr. Zhang, has Dr. Lu joined Ruixiang Group?"

"Mr. Zhang~Mr. Zhang~"

The reporter saw that Lu Qi was reluctant to be interviewed, and turned his firepower to Zhang Yida, who accosted them.

Zhang Yida didn't have time to greet these reporters now, so the group got into the car and went straight to the hotel.

After settling Lu Qi, Zhang Yi reached the company and convened a group of executives from Huimin Travel and Douduo to prepare for a meeting together.

After Zhang Yida roughly explained what he meant, everyone had different reactions.

"Do you really want to set up a new group?" Sun Yutong was the first to ask.

"Yes, we have to concentrate our efforts, and at the moment companies are not affiliated with each other, and business collaboration is too poor. ”

Sun Yutong nodded, "Mr. Zhang, you are very reasonable, only by concentrating on strength can you do great things!"

Does this integration not include the fintech companies of Ruixiang and Yimin?"

"No," Zhang Yida shook his head, "considering the policy and the fact that financial companies are prone to transmitting risks, they can't be merged into a new group." ”

"Doushi and Pindodo can form business complementarity, and if we benefit the people, it seems that the complementarity and relevance between them are not great. ”

For the sudden multiple mothers-in-law on his head, Huang Xiaofeng felt a little uncomfortable. Especially this mother-in-law, she can't bring any benefits to Huimin travel.

"You're still reluctant!" Zhang Yida said with a smile, "According to the loss method of Huimin Travel, how long will it take to make a profit? Or if you don't make a profit, break even and survive on your own." ”

Huang Xiaofeng stopped talking, and the total financing before and after Huimin Travel was as high as 3 billion US dollars, but he still hasn't taken off the hat of loss.

In fact, Huimin Travel is also working hard, and it is also carrying out financial diversion cooperation with Ruimin Financial Management, and it is also engaged in aggregation taxi and hitchhiking, using many methods, but there is no way to make a profit.

As for the reason? It's simple, it's too asset-heavy.

For example, a game company, where others have hundreds of program apes, and then build a server to make a game that attracts money, with a monthly revenue of hundreds of millions.

As for Huimin Travel, tens of millions of bicycles need to be depreciated and maintained, and more than 20,000 offline dispatching and operation teams must be configured for these bicycles.

We integrate Huimin Travel into it, just to pool resources and see if we can bring Huimin Travel to profit. ”

Huang Xiaofeng asked again: "If you merge in, you can make a profit?"

"How do you know if you don't try? You have to believe in the power of ecology. ”

"Hey, why hasn't Pate Holding Group been integrated?" Huang Xiaofeng suddenly remembered this company.

"Although Pate Holding Group has an Internet e-commerce business, it is actually a traditional company, and there are also manufacturing and hospitals.

It's just that the use of the Internet is used to promote and expand customers, which can be regarded as a transformation case of offline companies embracing the Internet.

Its core is different from our new group. ”

"Mr. Zhang, how do you arrange, we can do whatever we want, we have no opinion. ”

Zhang Lan expressed her position at this time and made a judgment with Huang Xiaofeng, who "loves power".

Zhang Yida glanced at Zhang Lan appreciatively and said, "Don't worry! The establishment of the new group will only make the development of Doushi better and better." ”

Among the three companies, Doushi and Pinduoduo have all expressed their positions, and Huimin Travel has not expressed its position.

Huang Xiaofeng reacted quickly and immediately said: "We Huimin Travel also agree to merge!"

"Okay," Zhang Yida nodded with satisfaction, "We must all work together to build the new group well."

I have set a goal for the new group, that is, the advertising business will exceed 1,000 degrees, the e-commerce business will exceed Goudong, and the travel business will exceed Didi!"

Everyone was excited when they heard it, this is the "B" and "J" that clearly want to surpass BATJ, and it is really done, and it is definitely the third pole of China's Internet.

However, Qiandu, Goudong, and Didi are not easy to deal with, and this "third pole" dream still has a long way to go.

"By the way, the CEO of the new group will be Dr. Lu Qi!"

After speaking, Zhang Yida observed everyone's reactions.

Sun Yutong behaved very indifferently, he is an angel investor, and he is currently just giving advice to Zhang Yida as a consultant.

Whoever is the CEO of the group will not have much influence on him.

At present, Zhang Yida is the CEO of Pindodo, and Sun Yutong has repeatedly suggested that Zhang Yida hire a full-time CEO.

Zhang Yida wanted him to be the CEO of Pindodo, but Sun Yutong refused.

He wanted to prove his ability to show Lao Ma, but he didn't want to be too high-profile, and he was very conflicted.

"I have no problem, Dr. Lu Qi can go from an ordinary engineer at IBM to the vice president of Yahoo and the vice president of Microsoft. Sun Yutong was the first to stand up and make a statement.

"I don't have a problem, Dr. Lu Qi has experience working in large international companies, and his experience will help us to internationalize more smoothly. ”

Only Huang Xiaofeng didn't say anything, he actually had some thoughts about the CEO of the new group.

He knew that although he was an entrepreneurial veteran, he couldn't compare to Lu Qi in terms of qualifications and fame.

Huang Xiaofeng said: "I have no problem, Huimin Travel will cooperate with Dr. Lu Qi to carry out the work." ”

Zhang Yida said lightly: "The establishment of a new group and the integration of resources will involve a lot of position changes and benefit distribution.

I hope you can obey Lu Qi as you obey me, and don't do anything to pull you back.

Although the new group is valued at nearly $20 billion, we are far from the time to sit back and relax.

In the past, there were all kinds of giants in the front, and there were many startups eyeing us.

So, we must not let up!"

"Yes~"

Huang Xiaofeng and the three of them replied.

"What's the name of the new group?" asked Zhang Lan.

"How about Douhuipin Group?" Zhang Yida replied casually.

"It's so ugly, Mr. Zhang, can't you choose a nice name?"

Zhang Yida looked at Zhang Lan and said with a smile: "What's the matter? This name is bad? Isn't it called "New Magnesium University" after the merger of Magnesium Group and Dianping?

58 plus the same city, it becomes 58 the same city, and Youku plus potatoes is Youku potatoes. ”

"People are two companies combined, we are three, and the names add up to too long.

The three of them become a crowd, work together, we call it "Zhonghe Group". ”

Zhang Lan couldn't stand it anymore, so she helped Zhang Yida give the new group a name.

"Zhonghe Group~"

Sun Yutong repeated it a few times, and then said with a smile: "This name is okay, it's simple and easy to remember!"

Huang Xiaofeng also nodded, "I also think it's okay, it's better than "Dou Hui Pin" or "Hui Dou Pin", "Spell Hui Dou"!"

"That's okay!

Zhang Lan saw that Zhang Yida had adopted his suggestion, and also showed a satisfied smile.

"By the way, Mr. Zhang, the B+ round of financing VAM agreement of Huimin Travel has expired, and we have to redivide the shares with investors. ”

Huang Xiaofeng suddenly remembered something and hurriedly reminded him.

"Oh, that's it!"

Zhang Yida also remembered the VAM agreement at this time, so he said: Okay, you make an appointment with the investor and make this matter clear before establishing a new group. ”

......

Following.

Huimin Travel Company.

Four B+ round investment institutions, including SoftBank, GIC, Warburg Pincus, and Silver Lake Capital, attended the meeting.

Huang Xiaofeng handed a statement to each of the major venture capital representatives, and said: "Investors, the one-year VAM agreement signed between Huimin Travel and you has expired.

This is the result of Aurora big data and Analysys data, Huimin Bicycle occupies 83.2% of the market share of the whole industry with 9.15 million shared bicycles;

In terms of daily cycling orders, we occupied 81.6% of the industry's market share with 41.1 million daily cycling orders last month, and this market share is still increasing.

According to the VAM agreement, as long as Huimin Bicycle reaches 80% of the market share, or breaks even, the VAM will be deemed to be completed.

Now our indicators account for more than 80% of the industry, and the VAM clause is completed!"

Warburg Pincus representative Smith said with a smile: "Mr. Huang, from a rigorous point of view, the authenticity of this data still needs to be tested by a third-party agency. ”

"It's natural, our data is very accurate, you can test it however you want. ”

Huang Xiaofeng's voice changed, "However, we also have to hire a third-party agency to supervise each other." ”

"OK, I like to be more straightforward, it's the most boring to go around. ”

Smith is an American, and he talks about business more bluntly. Just as he is afraid that the management of Huimin Travel will deceive, Huang Xiaofeng is also afraid that investors will buy third-party testing agencies.

After all, it involves an equity VAM reward of $120 million, and the interests are first, and it is not good to test human nature.

"Okay, let's get this done!"

Huang Xiaofeng said: "In addition, please Mr. Smith stay in the capital for two more days, and Huimin Travel will hold a general meeting of shareholders." ”

"Why? Do you have something else to announce?" asked Smith, curious.
