Chapter 16 Do subtraction, don't do addition
Lin Yi held a special meeting to scold everyone, not to vent his personal anger, but to make the company's top and bottom minds sober.
But swearing doesn't solve the problem.
Unity of mind is the number one priority in team building, and it can be overwhelming to tell them what they can't do without telling them what they should do.
"Since the announcement of the merger of Dudu Taxi, the business integration of the two companies is still in progress, and it is expected that it will take another month or two to be fully completed."
"At that time, we will clean up the negative impact of Dutu Taxi and shut down this notorious taxi brand and sweep it into the dustbin of history forever."
"At this moment, there are already many people asking questions, and we must also answer the question of where the journey will go."
Small things have a meeting, big things have a small meeting.
In this matter, Lin Yi still only communicated privately with his core management team, Li Moyan, Liu Jianni and Wang Kai.
Liu Jianni smiled: "You have made such a big battle today and scared them all, in addition to feeling it, you should also be confident, right?" ”
"Don't sell it, just say it."
Lin Yi took the lead: "First of all, I have a proposal, before the entrepreneurial period, the core management of the company all brought their own dry food to generate electricity with love, and only received a few thousand yuan of living expenses every month. ”
"Now that the company's situation is not so difficult, I think they should be given normal treatment and the company's salary system should be on par with that of large companies in the same industry."
"The backbone of it should be promoted according to the contribution of the past few years, and to be honest, a company as big as ours also needs more vice presidents."
"It sounds like a lot of money, but it's not too broad."
"I believe that it should be able to greatly boost morale, save them from pondering and pondering all day long, and then make this kind of "battle plan" that I don't know what to do."
"Of course, the company will also provide equity incentives according to rank and performance in the future, but the proportion will not be as high as in the entrepreneurial period."
Lin Yi said that these are the only ways for an entrepreneurial enterprise to transform into a mature large company, and it is not too abrupt.
The other three did not object, it was only a matter of time before the company was formalized, and strictly speaking, they and Lin Yi himself were direct beneficiaries.
Now, in addition to his assets, Lin Yi finally has a reasonable income.
"I have been thinking about the way out of the taxi industry for a long time, until Wanli Travel has established an unshakable position in the industry, and it is finally in front of us."
"There is actually a bottleneck in the taxi business, and we are very clear about it."
"Under normal circumstances, it may take us ten years of development to touch that bottleneck, but with tens of billions of dollars of investment, the industry has reached the ceiling ahead of schedule."
"Behind closed doors, taking a taxi isn't sexy, and it doesn't have that much imagination."
"Janie told me last time that investors need stories, and you convinced me, so even though I wasn't optimistic about bike sharing, I still voted for it."
"It's okay to lie to others, but you can't lie to yourself."
"This thing is not enough to form a moat for us, and if we want to engage in this business directly, it will inevitably drag down our performance."
"As for Wang Xiaofeng of the mobike we invested in, this guy is simply too honest, and directly said that they have no profit model, and they can't think of a profit model for the time being, so it's over."
"They can run blindfolded, but we're past that."
"And with today's volume of traveling thousands of miles, if you run blindfolded, it is dangerous driving, and it is easy to hit people."
"Even if you don't hit people, it's not good to bump into flowers and plants, right?"
Lin Yi told a bad joke and found that he seemed to be taking the topic away.
"To get back to the point, compared to bike sharing, in addition to our scale advantage, financially speaking, our core business is profitable."
"Jenny knows best, how many times have we calculated this account back and forth, otherwise we wouldn't dare to say such big things to investors."
"I said that if we want to achieve profitability in 2017, we are definitely not empty."
"Specifically, it is nothing more than reducing costs and increasing efficiency."
"Wanli Travel has not made a profit in the past three years, to be precise, it has suffered huge losses in a row, and the primary reason is, of course, that the subsidy war has not stopped."
"This most important factor, now the basis for its existence is gone."
"We have drawn up a phased subsidy reduction plan based on the experience of the 2014 armistice, with the goal of completely eliminating it by the end of this year, so that next year we can travel light and without burden."
"The second is the management cost, in the crazy expansion stage our team is overallocated, the promotion plan is not cost, actually caused serious extravagance and waste, without considering the inevitable internal corruption."
"On this point, Senior Sister is already formulating the next stage of performance appraisal methods, using profit rather than scale as the core indicator."
"There is another point that must be paid attention to, that is, the proportion of order sharing must be controlled by the headquarters in a unified manner, and the following cannot be allowed to come to their own devices."
"We want to make a profit, but we don't take it from the drivers of the sports cars."
"Not to mention whether a few of us will be poked in the future, if we don't get the big hat of "abuse of market dominance" on it, the company will not be able to stand it."
"In addition, it is the problem of blind expansion that makes me so angry today."
"I always feel like I am staking the ground, and the bigger the scope is, the more money I make, but in fact, it doesn't make sense, it's a bottomless pit that sees only input but no output."
"The product line of Wanli Travel is planned by ourselves, and according to this standard, we all take taxis and other messy businesses, and we don't want them at all."
"Chop, chop."
"What we want to do is subtract rather than add, remove all flashy camouflage, and only retain and deliver on the core business that is truly profitable."
Lin Yi finally added: "All the above things can be conveyed, and we can just know a few words about the remaining words." ”
"The direct reason for me to make these arrangements is to ensure that the company will complete the listing in 2018 with good performance."
"It's not because I'm in a hurry to cash out my wealth, but that there will be a window for listing, and once we miss it, the situation may become more and more unfavorable for us."
"You may not understand a little, there are many reasons for this, and I can't explain them all now."
"In short, this is the best arrangement for both the company and for us personally."
"We have to stick to this timeline, achieve and accomplish it to the letter, and finally achieve all the goals steadily."
