Yixing and Kuaidi merged, and the two announced on July 7 of the lunar calendar, known as the Valentine's Day Raiders.

Yu Shuangpeng, CEO of Yixing Dache, and Lu Chuanwei, CEO of Kuaidi Dache, also serve as co-CEOs.

The two companies will remain unchanged in terms of personnel structure, and the business will continue to develop in parallel and will retain their respective brands and business independence.

But everyone knows that this is only a transitional arrangement.

In fact, this co-CEO system lasted less than a month within the company.

Lu Chuanwei sold all the shares he held in Kuaidi, and since then he has faded out of Yixing and Kuaidi.

In fact, neither Yu Shuangpeng nor Lu Chuanwei thought that an Internet upstart company with a valuation of more than 10 billion US dollars could be created in just two or three years, which was almost impossible in the past.

The word entrepreneurship is easy to write, but difficult to do.

It's like pushing open a door at night, it's pitch black outside, and you don't know if there's a mountain of swords, a sea of fire, or an abyss along the way. I can only go on, and there is no turning back.

The process can be basically compared to the game, you wander around in the wild area with no vision, and you don't know whether you can hit the buff, or you are ambushed by a few obscene men in the grass.

Only Lu Yan saw the general trend and development as early as possible, and invested money, entered the game, and recruited people at the right time.

In fact, if a person wants to succeed, it is not enough to have vision, but also to have ability and luck.

The original Didi CEO Cheng Wei is a very capable person, like Uncle Liu Huang, who is especially good at recruiting talents.

Ling Yi time, he is also a ruthless person, born in 83 years after 80, less than 30 years old, he became the deputy general manager of Alipay's B2C business department.

Then, under the opposition of all relatives and friends, he started his own business to do online car-hailing.

At that time, smartphones were just emerging, 4G was not yet commercially available, and Alipay was not particularly popular on mobile phones.

But he still came out of the bright Ahri and plunged headlong into the dark forest of entrepreneurship.

The product is not good, I don't understand the technology, and it is difficult to promote ......!

If it weren't for the heavy snow in the winter of 2012, there might not have been Didi.

In fact, in the winter of '13 and '14, there was not much snow in the north.

Cheng Wei later recalled this experience and was a little afraid.

But the most powerful thing about Cheng Wei is actually forming a team.

At the beginning of the business, he went to ask Ahri's Guan Mingsheng what to do.

That is Ahri, who joined the company in 2000, only a year later than Tsai, and was Alibaba's first COO (chief operating officer) and later CHO (chief talent officer).

Guan didn't tell Cheng Wei anything else, but talked about how Ma Yun formed the team.

said: You watch "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", most of the time is about how they joined. How to find them, how to judge them.

Later, Cheng Wei spent 40% of his energy on recruitment. After the team was formed, how to impress them and how to integrate accounted for 80% of his total work.

The first fierce general recruited by Cheng Wei was Zhang Fang.

Because neither he nor the investor Wang Gang came from a technical background, he found a technical partner and generously gave the other party 30% of the shares.

Later, I found that this person's skills were completely inadequate, and he was almost eliminated because of technical shortcomings.

Later, by chance, I was invited to work as a R&D manager in Qiandu, and I had a qualified CTO (chief technology officer).

Later, people evaluated Didi's success factors as: Ahri's people, Qiandu's technology, and Penguin's money.

In terms of technology, it refers to Zhang Fang and the team he leads.

And the process of recruiting Liu Qing is even more legendary.

First of all, high salaries.

Cheng Wei said to Liu Qing: Your original salary at Goldman Sachs was 4 million US dollars, and after you come over, half of Didi's salary will be given to you, and the rest of us will share the rest.

Liu Qing was very hesitant.

When it comes to recruiting talents, all you can talk about is dreams and money.

In addition to the extremely high salary, Cheng Wei invited Liu Qing to go to Tibet together. Together with Didi's executives, a group of eight people drove 1,700 kilometers in one day and one night. That day, eight people took more than 3,000 yuan of oxygen in the hotel before they recovered.

At the foot of the Himalayas, Cheng Wei cried, saying that thinking about the road, maybe it is the road to entrepreneurship, I give my life to my brothers, I trust my brothers ......!

If it is said that on the other hand, Cheng Wei's entrepreneurial road is as difficult and bumpy as Liu Bei.

In that life, many companies under Lu Yan's name started their businesses, just like Yuan Shao started his business, and they went quite smoothly.

After all, this person is either an errand or a bad money.

Lu Yan is not short of money, so he can find a lot of people who are not bad.

Cheng Wei struggled to find a qualified CTO. And Lu Yan, with a systematic "Tianzhu mode", is the best product manager himself.

Cheng Wei recruited Liu Qing, not only to get a high salary, but also to talk about dreams.

On Lu Yan's side, there is not only a lot of salary, but also "Taoist friends staying" and "having a fate with me", so it didn't take much effort to recruit a general.

In daily life, the talents recruited for various companies are even more numerous, and there are many talents.

However, although Yixing taxi accounts for more than 90% of the domestic market share, the situation has not yet stabilized.

Uber, the international ride-hailing giant, is eyeing the Chinese market. The vicious events that may occur in the future are what Lu Yan needs to guard against.

He convened a new round of the board of directors and made "safe travel" the main task for the next period of time.

The directors of several companies disagreed, believing that at this stage, it was the top priority to continue to expand the market and make profits.

Once the vetting of drivers and passengers is too strict, it is easy for those small opponents to rise.

Lu Yan spent a few days talking to these people one by one, talking about the importance of safe travel......

And on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, another astonishing news shocked domestic netizens.

It was the merger of Meituan and Dianping, and after the merger, the two companies were valued at more than $17 billion and had a market share of more than 90%.

In more than a month, group buying and Internet taxis, two unicorn companies were born, and the people who eat melons don't know how to describe their mood at the moment!

Then, what netizens are most concerned about is how many shares Lu Yan has left, and how much money he has now!

won't be so soon, he will become the richest man in China, that's too bullish!

However, considering that in the past two years, the market value of Penguin and Ahri has grown faster, and Lu Yan wants to reach the top, I am afraid it will not be easy!

Beijing, CCTV financial column, interviewed Lu Yan and asked him what kind of psychology he had about the rapid growth of wealth.

"I don't feel too much, and now money is really a number for me!"

When the reporter heard this, he smiled indifferently and asked, "Then are you confused?"

"There are some, because every day you have to think about how to make this money more meaningful. Let my company take a sense of social responsibility......!"

"I heard that you went back to your alma mater again and donated 30 million to set up a scholarship?"

"Yes, I hope to cherish my time in high school, because for most people, it's only once. ”

The host was stunned, feeling that he had grasped the young rich man's language disease, and said with a smile: "That kind of hard work opportunity is only once!"
