On the night of the merger announcement, the Uber Xiamen team interpreted the spirit of Uber with a little tragedy:

AlwaysBeHustlin,

Beyourself,

Champion'sMindest,

Superpumped,

MakeMagic,

……

In an autobiography, Chen Erbin, manager of East China, recalled various marketing activities that he was proud of:

a quarrel viral video with 5 million views and a cost of only 10,000 yuan;

a test ride Tesla event that allows users to multiply by a thousand times and cost zero;

Tong Dawei, who completed the implementation of the plan in two days and swiped the circle of friends for several months, became the people's Uber driver;

As well as one-click jerking, one-click icecram, Avengers, etc......

It's a pity that these are like a passing cloud, and prosperity is fleeting.

Ends at its brightest.

A summary of an era.

February 5, 2016 is destined to be recorded in the history of China's Internet.

On this day, the two major car platforms, Superman Travel and Uber, reached a truce agreement, and the two sides decided to shake hands and make peace.

After consuming billions of dollars, the car market officially ended the war, and Guan Huang pushed Superman to a new peak in China's Internet industry all the way.

But glory belongs only to Superman!

According to People, when it was announced that it would be taken over by Superman, many Uber employees in China were still expanding their markets in remote areas.

After hearing the news, most people couldn't accept it, and even many people shed tears about it, even Liu Zhen "cried a lot of times" because she was also a person who was kept in the dark.

She didn't know about the potential deal in advance, and the entire Chinese staff was abandoned during the deal.

Liu Zhen did not make any statement about this, and calmly accepted all this arrangement.

No one knows whether she will choose to join Superman or apply to Uber overseas to continue to pursue her entrepreneurial dream;

It's just that on the third day after the announcement of the merger, I reposted a swiping article in the circle of friends, "Born to be Proud: Those Young People at Uber".

She wrote, "Mountains, rivers, lakes and seas are all places where we make dreams. ”

Then, disappear into the news of Uber China's merger with Superman.

Won the "final battle" and ascended the iron throne of China's online car-hailing market, and Superman's valuation rose in response.

According to the latest quotation in the capital market, it exceeded 40 billion US dollars in one fell swoop, reaching a maximum of 45 billion!

Even if the valuation skyrockets, those who come to seek cooperation are like crucians crossing the river, flocking to it.

Many institutions threw olive branches to Superman, and American investors such as Citibank even offered $10 million in intermediary fees, just to get an opportunity for cooperation.

————

On the other hand, as the cooperation enters the substantive stage, more and more contract details are exposed.

Superman acquired Uber's China business for $4 billion, and all of Uber's brands, businesses, data, channels, personnel, and equipment were merged into Superman!

From the perspective of return on investment, Uber did make a profit selling its China business.

Uber became a superhuman shareholder through a share swap, accounting for 8% of the total (the shareholders of the former Uber (China) are converted according to the corresponding proportions).

Of the 45 billion yuan valuation after the merger, Uber's economic equity is valued at $3.6 billion (some shareholders choose to take the money and leave, Uber Global will hold 3.89% of the equity, and the rest of the Chinese shareholders of Uber China will receive a total of 3.12% of the economic equity. ）

In two years, Uber burned $2 billion in China and sold $4 billion, with a return on investment of twice as much in two years, although it only has the right to earn, no voting rights, which is a worthwhile deal.

However, this also means that Uber has not broken the curse of "unsuccessful localization of foreign companies" after all.

Some media described Uber's withdrawal from the Chinese market as "one of the most regrettable events in the Internet industry in 2016".

According to the evaluation of Beijing Business Daily, no multinational Internet company has successfully conquered the Chinese market in the past ten years, and Uber has insisted on exiting until now, and its performance is considered the best.

Zennon Kapron, managing director of Kapronasia, a Shanghai-based consultancy, told Bloomberg: "China's roads are already full of corpses of foreign tech companies trying to run their own businesses here, but they all ended up failing." This should be seen as a failure for Uber, but the good news is that they could have lost even worse. ”

————

"And a gift?"

Jiang Tao said with a smile, "You have to celebrate, it can be said that joy fell from the sky." ”

Guan Huang glanced at it, "Okay, put it in that." ”

Jiang Tao put the purple qi donglai ornament made of pure gold on the table, measured it carefully, and couldn't help but admire, "How is it, do you have that feeling?" ”

"Not bad."

Seeing that Guan Huang liked it, Jiang Tao was relieved.

This time he won a big victory and decided the country, as a subordinate and friend, he naturally had to express something.

I thought of many ways, but I didn't think it was appropriate.

Organizing a party? A bit self-conceived,

Finding a woman for the boss? It's a little too low, and the best beauties are hard to find, and ordinary beauties can't get into Guan Huang's eyes.

Verbal congratulations? That's just the way the average employee does it, and if you want to maintain a good personal relationship, you have to take action.

……

It was Lisa who reminded him and simply gave the gift directly.

It's tacky, but it's not out of line.

It's not strange to have many people.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

"Now that you think about your prediction that Uber (China) will fail, it really feels like a world away."

Guan Huang smiled, he was immune to such praise.

Jiang Tao continued, "These foreign devils don't remember to eat or fight, they don't know the particularity of the Chinese market, and they only reflect there after failure every time, and we ignore what ......."

Guan Huang: "Failure? It's not a failure, Uber has withdrawn from the Chinese market, but it has also shared in the benefits of our growth. ”

It's like Yahoo investing in Ahri.

Although the Chinese business has failed, its legacy is rich.

It has helped in the rise of one of the most successful internet companies in the world. Acquired $30 billion worth of assets from the Chinese market.

And all of this came after Yahoo completely stopped investing a penny or a single resource.

Jiang Tao echoed, "That's true, it's $4 billion now, and when Superman grows into a 100 billion company, Uber's revenue will double." ”

Guan Huang smiled: "So optimistic about the company's development? ”

Jiang Tao: "You said before that Superman would grow into a 100 billion dollar company, I thought you were exaggerating, but now I am convinced." ”

Guan Huang laughed, "I will definitely live up to your expectations, has anyone from the original Uber shareholders changed hands on Superman's shares." ”

Because of Superman's cautious financing, many people have started the idea of existing minority shareholders.

The wealthy families in the province represented by the Jiang family are one of them.

He didn't interfere much with that.

As long as it doesn't exceed the bottom line. Come and go freely.

Jiang Tao was a little embarrassed, "Only a few people sell it, and most of them hold it in their hands." ”

Guan Huang nodded.

Jiang Tao asked, "Is our next focus on building cars?" ”

Guan Huang replied, "It's just a direction." ”

In the midst of the uproar of the Superman Uber merger, one piece of news is insignificant.

If it weren't for the people, no one would even pay attention to it in China.

Superman poached about 40 employees at Carnegie Mellon University's robotics lab, including leading experts in driverless cars.

One of the researchers poached by Superman said, "Our team members are superb, but [before] they had to do nothing every day and ask me when I could do something big." I'm actually an ambitious person who wants to do something earth-shattering. ”

Jiang Tao: "What do you say?" ”

Guan Huang sighed: "I hope to become an experience-driven and data-driven company in the future, and strategically not only make a brand, but also (integrate) with the entire automotive industry." ”

Jiang Tao was surprised: "Such a thing? ”

Guan Huang explained: "I think that traditional Internet channel companies have no core competitiveness, just a channel, selling other people's services, goods, is dangerous, must be able to deeply integrate with the entire traditional industry." ”

Jiang Tao: "Channels are easy to be controlled by others? ”

Guan Huang nodded: "That's the case, there is a layout, and it is integrated together to provide services with barriers." Therefore, we may not only be a platform for travel and ride-hailing in the future, but we hope to integrate the entire car factory, dealer system and market services, so that the entire travel system is more efficient, lower cost and better service. ”

Jiang Tao suddenly realized, "This is what we want to do in the next three years?" ”

Guan Huang: "I haven't figured out what to do in the end." ”

Jiang Tao didn't ask again,

This kind of strategic choice affects the whole body.

It's not a whim, and it's not a pat on the head.

"By the way, to beat Uber (China), should we have a celebration? Public or private? ”

What is open is the participation of partners, the invitation of the government, a bit like the conference of allies.

Privately natural is party, alcohol, beautiful women......

Guan Huang didn't directly refuse, "The time is not right, wait and see." ”

"Okay."

……

The two chatted for a while, and Jiang Tao left.

Although he would love to stay a little longer.

But today, as Guan Huang's influence grows, time is getting tighter and tighter.

Even if he and Guan Huang know each other in Wei and have a good personal relationship, they still can't do what they want.

Ou Dongni knocked on the door and came in, "Mr. Guan, the people from the TV station are ready." ”

She wore a plain black suit today, which was neither revealing nor sexy, and was dignified and atmospheric.

Dressed as a workplace beauty.

In the past, Ou Dongni loved beauty and liked to wear different clothes and jewelry to change her mood.

Later, I found out that no matter how she dressed, Guan Huang always admired her with the eyes of a man appreciating a woman.

also often praises her for being energetic and good-looking.

Especially like to see through white clothes, that feeling of innocence often makes men lose for a short time.

Occasionally wearing a low-necked dress or underwear lace to show some, Guan Huang always has the urge to see it.

So, those clothes are rarely worn by Dong Ni now.

Guan Huang nodded, "Come and help me take a look." ”

Defeating the old enemy, such an important moment, it is natural to write a big book.

Even if Guan Huang is unwilling, he must consider the feelings of the entire company, the thoughts of his parents, and the expectations of his hometown.

Ou Dongni approached and helped the man straighten his collar.

Guan Huang glanced at her, "How do you feel?" ”

Ou Dongni seemed to see the distress in the other party's eyes, and was a little embarrassed, "It's much better." ”

She suffers from menstrual cramps.

The stomach pain was unbearable just now, and I wanted to take a leave of absence and go to the unit after the pain was relieved.

I didn't expect the TV station to come, so I could only endure the discomfort and arrange work.

Guan Huang: "You, you're too stubborn, it's good to arrange things for others." ”

Ou Dongni lowered her head: "I'm not worried about the others." ”

Guan Huang grabbed her hand and shook it, it was a little cold, "You don't have to go to visit you later, rest in my room for a while." ”

Ou Dongni didn't insist, "Okay. ”

Guan Huang continued, "There is something you should remember. ”

"Hmm."

Guan Huang opened his mouth to say, but when he saw Ou Dong Ni'e's eyebrows frowning slightly, he endured it, "After the interview, you can rest first." ”

"It's fine."

Guan Huang pressed her on the bed in the lounge, "Listen to me." ”

Ou Dongni was a little shy, "Okay." ”

"Then I'll go", Guan Huang pushed the door and went out.

Looking at the other party's tall back, she knew that she had fallen.

In recent times, the relationship between the two has developed by leaps and bounds.

Although before men let her choose, career or love.

However, people have ideas.

You want to have it both ways.

Ou Dongni didn't choose, and Guan Huang didn't ask again.

Not only that, but the man changed from his previous harshness and became gentle.

When getting along in private, Guan Huang often says on his lips: In the company, except for me, no one else can bully you.

He didn't just say that, he did it.

Because of work, Ou Dongni has had disputes with leaders and colleagues in other departments.

Every time Guan Huang ignored it, Ou Dongni had the upper hand.

Once, when Xia Qixi criticized her, Ou Dongni couldn't hold back and quarreled with the other party.

The two reasoned and quarreled in front of the man.

Guan Huang looked at it with a smile and didn't stop it.

Didn't say a word about her afterwards.

This brought Ou Dongni's influence to its peak.

also dispelled the rumor that Xia Qi was the boss's mistress in the past.

After all, there are many rights and wrongs around beautiful women.

Although Xia Qixi is very capable, he has also made great contributions to the company.

However, often with Guan Huang, there will inevitably be all kinds of rumors.

After this incident, everyone understands who is the vixen.

On the other hand, after seeing the unusual, many people pushed some things that might be scolded by the boss onto Ou Dongni.

She's happy to do the same.

As soon as Guan Huang heard that he was hooked up with her, he automatically skipped it and stopped pursuing it.

She is also addicted to some kind of illusory pleasure.

Ou Dongni got up, closed the door to the inner room, and lay back on the bed.

It feels like it's full of man's breath.

In the past, she would not dare to stay here for a long time, and today she made an exception because of physical reasons.

I'm afraid that the impact will not be good.

Second, I can't help but be afraid.

At work, she also minimizes the time she spends alone with Guan Huang, for fear that he will exude a hormonal atmosphere.

But even at a distance, she felt a kind of magnetic wave.

sensed that Guan Huang wanted her all the time.

That kind of magnetic wave and breath, as time passed, became more and more intense, disturbing her at night, and her mind was full of Guan Huang's figure.
