163. Poaching people from Goldman Sachs

Tengxun has a lot of money over there, and Chen Dongcheng is determined to invest here.

The two parties entered the funds at the same time, and Didi suddenly had $100 million on its books.

Cheng Wei's whole heart was put down, and at the same time, he began to act on Chen Dongcheng's proposal.

Peng Zhijian looked confused, looking at Chen Dongcheng and Cheng Wei who found him.

I didn't expect the two people I met yesterday to become so familiar today.

"You ......"

Peng Zhijian is a good man, and his popularity is not in the circle.

But now Cheng Wei's proposal makes Peng Zhijian a little difficult.

"Mr. Peng, you really have to come out of this matter. ”

Chen Dongcheng said with a smile: "Although Liu Qing is a well-known Mulan in the investment circle, as long as we hide the news, we are not afraid that she will not take the bait." ”

Peng Zhijian looked at Cheng Wei and Chen Dongcheng, and couldn't help but feel a little more emotional.

The post-60s generation who used to dominate the storm are already old.

The young people of 8090 have gradually carried the banner of entrepreneurship.

"Okay, I'll also show my old face, where to choose?"

Peng Zhijian is also a cheerful person, and they are now on the same line.

If you can really dig Liu Qing to Didi, it will be good for everyone.

The larger the company, the stronger the demand for talents, which Chen Dongcheng deeply understands.

It's time for both companies to recruit talent.

Fortunately, Xiaolanshu is on the other side, but with Tengxun's investment in Shangdong Technology, the attractiveness of the option pool has suddenly become greater.

In addition to old employees, the recruitment of new employees has also become Zhuang Yanting's biggest headache every day.

Dozens of emails are sent every day, and everyone's resume is reviewed by personnel and then submitted to Zhuang Yanting.

Make an appointment with some talented people with good ability, and you have to have a one-on-one interview in person.

Startups grow little by little, and they have to go through such a process.

Without truly top-notch talent, how can you beat other opponents who want to challenge their status?

Chen Dongcheng thought about it, and Liu Qing is the general manager of Goldman Sachs Greater China.

When you meet for the first time, you have to be worthy of the identity of the other party.

"Pick the most expensive restaurant you can book in the capital. ”

Cheng Wei was stunned: "Wouldn't it be too extravagant?"

"No, it won't. ”

Chen Dongcheng shook his head: "We can't pay too much attention to talents, at least let Liu Qing see that we attach importance to her." ”

Chen Dongcheng also broke his heart for Didi, after all, Chen Dongcheng now holds 6% of Didi's shares.

Although the shares will be diluted in the future, the return on investment ratio is enough to make others envious.

……

Pangu Seven Star Hotel.

This hotel is just called seven stars, not really seven stars.

Chen Dongcheng and the others came to the hotel by car and rushed to the restaurant one step ahead of Liu Qing.

I chose a Japanese restaurant, and the name of the restaurant is Kyoto Kaiseki Hanaden.

Cheng Wei has also been developing in the capital for several years and has also been to this restaurant.

I know that this restaurant is expensive and expensive, but the taste is really not said.

Walking into the reserved box, there are not too many people in the restaurant, and it is a reservation system.

Cheng Wei still has a way to get a private room, Chen Dongcheng said that this meal is good, he will pay for it, and Cheng Wei is responsible for booking the private room.

This restaurant is truly pure Japanese service, and only two Japanese people can speak Chinese.

The waiter who walked into the private room in a kimono was also served in an authentic kneeling position.

After chatting for a while, a woman in her early thirties walked into the box, her hair was a little curly, naturally to one side.

The complexion is somewhat ordinary, but a pair of bright eyes is the most impressive.

The white women's suit shows her ability and composure, and she walks quickly and briskly.

"Two, this is the general manager and director of Goldman Sachs Greater China, Miss Liu Qing. ”

After Peng Zhijian finished his introduction, the three people in the box began to greet each other.

Liu Qing is very familiar with Cheng Wei and Peng Zhijian, but he is a little unfamiliar with Chen Dongcheng.

Separately, a waiter who can speak Japanese came over and asked which level to choose for the package, and Chen Dongcheng directly ordered the highest level.

Liu Qing saw it in his eyes, and was a little curious about Chen Dongcheng's identity.

Cheng Wei introduced with a smile: "This is Chen Dongcheng, my good friend." ”

Liu Qing smiled at Chen Dongcheng, pondering what Cheng Wei meant.

With Peng Zhijian in this scene, Liu Qing was not surprised.

Peng Zhijian represents Tengxun, who has been a shareholder of Didi since the previous B round.

"Mr. Cheng, I think you should also know very well that if Didi does not carry out Series C financing, I am afraid that the market share will really be given to Kuai. ”

Liu Qing spoke a little straight, but she never dreamed that the three people in front of her would join forces to pit herself.

"Mr. Liu, Goldman Sachs intends to invest in us, and Mr. Peng and I are very happy, but I think we can really talk about this valuation. ”

Cheng Wei smiled, which also made Liu Qing angry.

In Liu Qing's judgment, Didi is more likely to defeat Kuaidi, so he strongly advocates investing in Didi.

It's a pity that Goldman Sachs' valuation of Didi is a bit conservative.

I can't be so firm as Teng Xun, let alone have such a vision as Chen Dongcheng.

Goldman Sachs gave Didi a valuation of only $800 million, even if Liu Qing applied desperately, this is the limit.

After chatting for a while, the waiters began to serve the food one after another.

"Come, eat the vegetables first. ”

Chen Dongcheng smiled at Liu Qing and signaled that Liu Qing's literacy is still very high, and his father is one of the top richest people in China.

She is a real famous family, and she calls for wind and rain in the capital market, which is the ability that Chen Dongcheng and Cheng Wei are very coveted.

Drinking sake, Liu Qing gradually became a little helpless: "Mr. Cheng, I have already talked to you twice, and this is the third time we have met." ”

"I know. ”

Cheng Wei nodded.

"As the saying goes, it's not more than three, I want to listen to you give me an accurate word today, do you accept Goldman Sachs' investment?"

Liu Qing ate a few bites of Japanese food, put down his chopsticks and looked directly at Cheng Wei.

"Not accepted. ”

Cheng Wei shook his head and looked at Liu Qing with a sincere expression: "I want to invite you to join Didi." ”

"What?"

Liu Qing was stunned, and said with a wry smile for a while: "Mr. Cheng, since you didn't accept Goldman Sachs' investment, what are you looking for me to do?"

"Although Didi is a little grassroots, at least we are developing in a down-to-earth manner.

Mr. Liu, you have connections in the capital circle, I have a company with unlimited potential, and we can definitely succeed when we join forces!"

Since the afternoon, Chen Dongcheng and Cheng Wei have been studying how to trick Liu Qing into the car.

Peng Zhijian rolled his eyes, knowing that his old friend had really met his nemesis today.

The two of them got together and kept discussing how to answer Liu Qing in various situations.

It can be said that the Liu liquidation plan is clear.

Liu Qing took a sip of sake and hurriedly shook his head: "I understand Mr. Cheng's kindness, but I really don't have the idea of changing jobs." ”

"Mr. Liu, although you are the general manager of Asia at Goldman Sachs, you can meet many entrepreneurs.

But don't you get bored when you ask yourself?"

Chen Dongcheng asked according to the plan.

Liu Qing was silent.

After 12 years in Goldman Sachs, he climbed to the position of general manager of Asia step by step.

But as Chen Dongcheng said, Liu Qing has begun to feel bored with such a repetitive and boring life.

"Mr. Chen, I'm afraid you are one of the investors in Didi's Series C financing, right?"

It is no accident that Liu Qing can have today's achievements.

She already understood that today was a double reed play, and it was the two people in front of her who were performing.

"That's right, I invested in Didi, and the valuation was one billion US dollars, and Tengxun followed. ”

It's already at this time, and there's no need to hide it, Chen Dongcheng replied to Liu Qing very calmly.

"No wonder, I said how a young face like Mr. Chen appeared in Didi's senior management team. ”

Liu Qing smiled dumbly and looked at Peng Zhijian.

"Ahem, Qingqing, I didn't mean to lie to you, it was the persistence of Mr. Chen and Mr. Cheng who moved me. ”

Peng Zhijian was a little helpless, and pointed at Chen Dongcheng and Cheng Wei: "The two of them really want you to join Didi, including the shares, and you can also make concessions." ”

Liu Qing hesitated, although her annual salary at Goldman Sachs exceeded 10 million.

But joining Didi was a crucial choice for her.

Joining Didi, twelve years of struggle came to naught.

Staying at Goldman Sachs could be missing out on a company with unlimited potential.

"Mr. Liu, in fact, you and Mr. Cheng have a lot of similarities, you are both very smart, and you are willing to work hard.

The difference is that Cheng is always from the grassroots and has grown up step by step from the bottom of sales.

His market acumen and ability to execute on the front line are what you lack.

And you come from a famous family, and your network resources, international vision, including the ability to call the wind and rain in the capital market, are what Mr. Cheng lacks.

It seems to me that once you have this combination, it will quickly have a chemical reaction. ”

Chen Dongcheng's sincere praise made Liu Qing's face complicated: "Today, the two of you really gave me a surprise." ”

"Mr. Liu, I know very well that it is difficult for you to make this decision.

You are a character walking in the clouds, and we Didi are just a grassroots company. ”

Cheng Wei's eyes were firm: "But we are willing to wait, even if it is half a year, a year, or two years."

I'm sure you'll join Didi and fight side by side with us!"

Liu Qing was really moved at this moment, but the rational side made her suppress her emotions: "I'm sorry, I still have something, I'll go first." ”

After speaking, Liu Qing walked out of the box.

Cheng Wei stretched out his hand and sighed, looking a little lonely.

God knows that Cheng Weiduo longs for a helper like Liu Qing.

Liu Qing's rich capital circle contacts and ability to call for wind and rain in the financial market.

Not to mention Cheng Wei, it is Chen Dongcheng's greed.

But Chen Dongcheng knew that the combination of Liu Qing and Cheng Wei was destined.

I just put this pair together a few months in advance.

"Dongcheng, you said we would continue to chase Liu Qing, or?"

Cheng Wei looked at Chen Dongcheng, who now has a lot of trust and recognition in his new investor.

Based on Chen Dongcheng's proposal to dig Liu Qing into the company, it is definitely from the perspective of Didi's development in a better direction.

"You have to chase, Liu Bei is still looking at the thatched house, but you also have to consider the timing and give Liu Qing time to think appropriately. ”

Chen Dongcheng took a bite of tuna: "Liu Qing is a very rational woman, and the decision to leave Goldman Sachs can only be made by herself." ”

Cheng Wei nodded thoughtfully, he was too anxious just now.

Calm down and think about it, how could Liu Qing join Didi, how could he make a decision immediately because of his words with Chen Dongcheng.

It's the same with him.

This decision directly affects Liu Qing's fate in the future.

Even Cheng Wei doesn't know if Didi can go to the last step.
