Chapter 53: The Beauty President
Among the domestic business tycoons, Liu Legend is a very prestigious one, known as the godfather of business, and the president of the "Taishan Club".
Ma Yun was in front of him, like a little brother.
Real estate tycoon Sun Hongbin was his favored successor, but he was sent to prison. After coming out, he took 500,000 yuan from Liu Legend and continued to start a business.
Liu Legend has become famous, and his children are not ordinary people. The more well-known is the later president of Didi Chuxing, Liu Qing.
Born in Beijing, she graduated from the Department of Computer Science at Beijing University, received a master's degree from Harvard University in 2002, and joined Goldman Sachs Asia in the same year. In '08, he was promoted to Executive Director of Goldman Sachs Asia and later to Managing Director of Goldman Sachs Asia.
In the summer of 2014, Liu Qing, on behalf of Goldman Sachs, wanted to invest in Didi three times, but was rejected.
The last time, she joked with an angry joke: "If you don't let me vote, I'll work for you!"
Then Cheng Wei considered this matter very seriously, and finally pulled this beautiful executive to the Didi camp.
She also has a cousin named Liu Zhen, who is also a very powerful character.
After graduating from the Law School of Chinese University, he went to Berkeley Law School in California to continue his law studies.
Later, he worked in a law firm in Silicon Valley, and was sent back to China in '08 to make some investments in China on behalf of Silicon Valley companies.
Later, he joined Uber and made his first public appearance as the head ......of Uber's China strategy.
The two sisters once dominated China's ride-hailing market.
Ability and family background are all superior choices, which are difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
Legend has it that the smooth merger of Didi and Kuai, led by Liu Qing. If you change someone, I'm afraid it's not so easy.
And now, this legendary beautiful executive is sitting in Lu Yan's office, representing Goldman Sachs, and wants to invest in Yixing Taxi.
Although the "taxi war" is not over yet, for these investment banks and investors, the winners and losers have been decided.
Easy to do is a comprehensive winner, while fast drop is already on the verge of collapse.
They are stuck in a difficult situation and it takes time for them to complete their internal digestion. But once the competition stops, it will lose market share, which can be described as a dilemma.
In this case, venture capital companies from all walks of life are naturally chasing the easy and abandoning the quick drop.
Goldman Sachs is famous, but it does not intend to operate against the trend, but strongly wants to take a stake in Yixing.
Lu Yan in the boss's chair, after listening to Liu Qing's explanation, smiled and said: "Mr. Liu, what you said is very good! But for the current Yixing taxi, the important thing is to consolidate the existing market and improve the service. Instead of reopening financing, at least not for now. ”
Liu Qing was not discouraged, packed up his things and got up and said, "Okay, I'll go back first, if Mr. Lu changes his mind one day, call me again!"
Lu Yan looked at his watch, got off work in the afternoon, and said, "In this way, let's go out for a meal!"
Liu Qing also wanted to get closer to Lu Yan, so he readily agreed.
The two went downstairs together and asked for something to eat at a Western restaurant with a good environment near the company. The beautiful waitress also came over to ask Lu Yan for an autograph.
He also said that after watching Lu Yan's recent speech video, he felt very good, and he only hated that he didn't cherish the opportunity and study hard.
When I met such a fan, I naturally wanted to persuade her, and after the girl left, I sighed and said: "This is a beating by society!"
Liu Qing, who was on the other side, elegantly ate with a knife and fork, and said, "Look at the video of your speech, what you said is quite reasonable!"
"Insightful, if there is no college entrance examination, how can I have the opportunity to eat with a top rich second generation like you in a Western restaurant in Lujiazui!"
Liu Qing smiled, "Look at what you said, it seems like how good I am, but I'm just a working boy!"
Lu Yan smiled and didn't say anything more.
Liu Qing continued: "You have reflected deeply on education, but now that you are a top rich class, you don't want to steadily cultivate the second and third generations of the rich?"
Lu Yan smiled, "How can you not want to, this is the general trend of the times." In "The Siege of the City", Fang Hongjian in the Republic of China era relied on his good family background to wander abroad, get a fake diploma, and come back to find a good errand.
to the tide of going abroad after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the study abroad fever in recent years.
In a few years, when the signboard of international students becomes more and more unsuccessful, the rich should ponder how to better train their offspring under the existing education system in China. ”
Liu Qing thought for a while, "It's already being done, raising the cost and threshold of education, it's difficult for a poor family to have a noble son!"
"Huh!"
"And what do you think?"
"What can I think, do what I can, or hope that this society will remain mobile and as fair as possible!"
"By the way, I heard that you're going to set up a fund?"
"Well, I'll take some money myself, and Shenzhou Mobile Phone and Meituan will also give some each, but it's still in the preparatory stage!"
"Oh, I think your idea is very good, go back and help you talk to your friends, everyone has money to contribute, and they have a strong contribution. ”
"Thank you!"
Lu Yan then said: "By the way, are you leading the matter of investing in Yixing and taking a taxi?"
"yes?"
Liu Qing raised his head, with some confusion in his eyes.
Lu Yan said: "I think that instead of being an investor, you should join this industry and do something yourself." The company has an option incentive plan, and the next time you raise money, you can also follow the investment as an individual, how about it?"
Liu Qing was stunned when she heard this, she had just met Lu Yan twice, and she received such an invitation, which was really unexpected.
Lu Yan has his considerations, this person is naturally capable, so it is better than waiting for her to have such an idea by herself. It's also good faith to invite you in advance.
In addition, the World Championships in Athletics are coming soon, although there will be no accidents, 100 meters, 200 meters, it is OK to finish, after all, you have to go abroad for a while.
Solve the matter of this general first, and he can rest assured when he goes out to compete!
People like Liu Qing are naturally quite high-spirited and want to do something on their own.
Listening to Lu Yan's proposal and thinking for a while, this heart is like growing grass, and I think it's really good.
Ask: "What do you want me to do?"
Lu Yan said: "The subsidy war between Yixing and Kuaidi has been going on for several months, and several companies have spent a lot of money. The two Mr. Ma have also communicated by phone, and there is a lack of intermediaries!
I think you are the most suitable person.
If you can facilitate the merger of the two companies, you will be the biggest contributor to Yixing Taxi. When I become COO and then CEO, I will be able to do other things with confidence!"
When Liu Qing heard this, he felt that he was valued, but he was also a little unconvinced.
I've only met a few times, so I've planned my life for the next few years?
"You, just believe me?"
"Of course, I can't be wrong when I look at people!"
