Chapter 506 The struggle for power finally comes to an end
“Mr. Lu, I haven’t seen you for a few days. I heard that another big news has come out quietly.”
Lu Liang came to Cheng Wei’s office, Liu Qing was also present, with a smile on her face and no look of a loser.
She came to Didi in glory with funds and resources. Now that she is leaving, she should leave in style.
Taking a step back, she holds 1.85% of Didi’s shares, which are currently worth more than 900 million US dollars.
Three hundred million US dollars per year, equivalent to more than 2 billion RMB, is a figure that many people dare not even think of.
"It's all rumors, nothing true."
Lu Liang smiled, a product of national boycott, how could he encourage the growth of unhealthy tendencies.
This is all Sun Yutao's own decision. It is all Sumitomo Mitsui's behavior and has no direct relationship with him.
"Mr. Lu's words are still so impeccable." Liu Qing squinted her eyes, as if teasing, but also mocking.
Lu Liang's behavior is like an ostrich burying its head in the sand when it is in danger. It only covers its head but not its butt.
But I have to say that it is indeed useful. The company's actions have nothing to do with individuals. As long as Lu Liang refuses to admit it, others can't do anything to him.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Liu is having tea."
Cheng Wei apologized, made tea, and glanced at his watch: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Zhu will be here soon. How about we meet first?" "
Zhu Jingshi, who was appointed by Lu Liang, was transferred back from the International Department on the day Liu Qing came back from New York. He has been handing over the work, and it is almost coming to an end now.
When a COO of a normal company resigns, the work procedures will take at least two months, or at most a year and a half.
But Didi is preparing to go public and plan to face investors in the market with a new look, so many businesses do not need to be reorganized, and the handover work is much less.
In addition, Liu Qing strongly requested that everything should be kept simple. If nothing happens, all the procedures can be completed by the middle of next month and before the Spring Festival.
"Then let's meet."
Seeing Lu Liang nod, Liu Qing put away her legs and smiled: "Then I won't disturb you. See you in the conference room."
"See you in the conference room."
The two of them nodded, and Liu Qing left. Cheng Wei couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Lu, I have always felt unreal."
He thought the overall situation was over. I was determined, but the process of wanting Liu Qing to leave should have been difficult, but unexpectedly it went smoothly.
“The airborne faction can suppress the rightful owner. Apart from the funds and resources, she is an extremely powerful person.”
Lu Liang chuckled lightly, took a sip of tea, and said nothing. Don't hide your appreciation for Liu Qing.
If the direction is wrong, no matter how hard you try, there is no point. Many people know this truth, but few people do it.
Instead of staying in Didi and wasting time, it is better to let go. This is a kind of absolute confidence in oneself.
She believes that it was she who made Didi, not Didi who made her. In another field, she can still recreate the myth.
Cheng Wei was silent and did not make a sound for a long time.
Lu Liang smiled and joked: "Mr. Cheng, are you reluctant to leave Mr. Liu, or are you unable to move away from Mr. Liu?"
"It's nothing, I'm just a little bit disappointed, after all, we worked together." Cheng Wei explained hurriedly.
In the early years, he also had contact with many VCs, and he knew well that there is a saying in the investment community that ideas are worthless, and investing companies are just investors.
Most VCs, including Zhu Hu and Shen Peng, invest in start-up companies without reading the business plan at all.
Usually talking to the founder of the company, if you think this person has shining points and is not bad, you will invest money.
If he shows even a little bit of lack of confidence, Lu Liang will probably become the next Liu Qing.
First manage Didi for him until a qualified manager is found, and he will become a mascot.
"Mr. Liu left so simply. He must have thought about the next step. There is no need to worry about her. Maybe we will see her again."
"That's right."
< br>While the two were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Zhu Jingshi knocked on the door. He was 42 years old. He had been away on business for a long time. His skin was slightly dark and he looked very lean and capable.
He nodded to Cheng Wei, said hello, and then looked at Lu Liang: "Hello, Mr. Lu, I am Zhu Jingshi."
Although Cheng Wei was kind to him, Lu Liang turned him away It was brought back, otherwise he would still be floating abroad.
This is a gift of renewal, and he will remember it in his heart.
"Mr. Zhu, please sit down." Lu Liang smiled and asked Zhu Jingshi about his short-term plans for the next three years.
COO is the chief operating officer, responsible for formulating the company's long-term strategy and supervising the execution of the general managers of each branch.
Their main responsibilities include implementing the company's decisions, plans and instructions, and managing the company's operations.
The difference between a CEO and a CEO is that one is internal and the other is external, so Lu Liang wanted to hear his opinion.
Zhu Jingshi pondered for a moment: "The first step is to clear up the female rights issues within the group before going public."
"How are we going to deal with it?" Lu Liang smiled a little playfully.
In the past few years, women have claimed to have awakened, and women’s carriages have been created in all walks of life and even on the subway.
This year Didi has had two more cases with serious consequences, and there have been many disputes, with women appearing as victims. Didi was not popular with women, so Liu Qing could only establish a diversity and inclusion alliance to increase the number of female employees in the company, using the banner of being a woman, empathizing with women, and caring about women to shift the focus of public opinion.
Currently, the company has a total of 7,200 employees, including 5,472 female employees and 1,728 male employees. The ratio of women to men is 76:24.
If you want to solve the problem of women's rights within the company, you must at least reduce the ratio to 46 to 46, but you have to fire half of the women. If it is not handled well, public opinion will explode.
If you want to adjust the ratio by increasing the number of male employees, it will undoubtedly increase a lot of labor costs.
Lu Liang will doubt whether this coo is qualified.
"All confrontational issues are essentially class issues. Mr. Lu, you have used it before and it is very easy to use."
Zhu Jingshi flattered him calmly and told him Plan: "Through differentiation, promote the positions of several women, let them first replace Mr. Liu's position in the hearts of female employees, and then slowly transfer some women from important management positions."
"By means of equity incentives, and The reason for going public is to start the last-place elimination system. If they want equality, give them equality. As long as equal rights for men and women are implemented, I believe there will be a large number of women who can't bear the high pressure and voluntarily leave their jobs."
"Finally. Let the technical department develop several functions to allow female passengers to choose their own drivers, give priority to female drivers, and require each driver to be equipped with a monitoring device to please female users.”
Women like to speak online, and most of contemporary men’s money is spent by women. Therefore, there is a saying in the market that those who win women will win the world.
As for men, they are the silent majority anyway. They are too lazy to speak up to fight for their own rights, or they are restrained by men’s lack of pettiness, so they can just ignore it.
Lu Liang laughed dumbly,
This is cruel, but it is true. The leader of a certain company once said that the purchasing power of men is not as good as that of a dog.
He said: "Mr. Zhu, continue."
"The second step is to continue to consolidate the market and actively explore overseas markets..."
"The third step is to develop autonomous driving technology and lay out the new energy industry..."
Zhu Jingshi said When I came to the new energy industry, I took a special look at Lu Liang: "Mr. Lu, maybe we can cooperate in depth."
After all, Didi holds 20% of the shares of Tianxing Technology, and Tianxing Technology also holds 2% of the shares of Didi. , they are natural partners.
“Okay, let’s talk some time.”
Lu Liang glanced at his watch and said with a smile: "It's almost time. Let's go to the conference room together."
He stood up and left his seat, passed by Cheng Wei and Zhu Jingshi, and took pictures of each of them. Shoulder: "Didi will rely on you from now on."
The two looked at each other and nodded heavily.
The meeting was held at two o'clock. Because there were many important things announced, many people came and it lasted for a long time.
That night, several pieces of news,
It quickly became a hot search topic and sparked discussion among netizens.
"The struggle for power finally comes to fruition"
"Liu Qing leaves Didi, Lu Liang takes over"
"The super unicorn about to launch an IPO"
"The Beginning of the Decline of the Liu Dynasty and the Birth of a New Giant"
"Didi: Women's safety on rides is urgent, and three new regulations are promulgated"
"The beginning and end of the dispute between Lu and Liu..."
Top ten hot searches, seven of which are related to Didi.
Logically speaking, in terms of business matters, it is difficult to capture the hot search headlines on the entire Internet. The hot search headlines are basically dominated by one company in the entertainment industry.
However, the news is too explosive. It is not only about the change of power in a unicorn group, but also about the disputes between outstanding independent female representatives of the current generation and contemporary young business leaders.
Also a few days ago, Bitcoin surged and plummeted, Xiao Wang sued Binance, and the public speculated that Lu Liang was the boss behind the scenes.
The superposition of all kinds of heat has led to the change of power in Didi. This was originally a matter of the business world, but it became so popular that it completely broke the circle.
What Lu Liang didn’t expect was that there were far fewer people accusing him than he imagined.
The cause was a self-media blogger who told the inside story of why Liu Qing left Didi and why Lu Liang was able to take over Didi so smoothly.
A few years ago, Didi submitted a listing review, but the Ministry of Commerce rejected the review, so Lu Liang was introduced to assist in the listing.
The previous generation of Lao Liutou specialized in litigating cases for foreigners and accumulated connections for this generation of Lao Liutou.
This generation of old Liutou has become a comprador, and the 5G voting scandal is still fresh in our minds, causing Huawei to lose its 5G customization rights.
Liu Qing also has a master's degree in the United States and entered Goldman Sachs after graduation. Based on the tradition of the Liu family, she should have some rare attributes.
Didi is also the holder of a domestic high-precision map license. Maps and road information have been military secrets in all dynasties.
So it can be reasonably suspected that Liu Qing submitted some data that should not have been submitted during the last review, which led to the rejection by the Ministry of Commerce.
Although the 5G voting scandal is covered by various tax evasion and yin and yang contracts in the entertainment industry, it does not mean that the Internet has no memory.
Last year’s South Side Affair, this year’s West Side Affair, and Wolf Warrior 2’s box office of 6 billion in the middle of the year are all proof of the rising national pride.
At this time, Liu Qing still wanted to follow the ancestral precepts and become a member of the 'full family of loyal martyrs', which was simply risking the disapproval of the world.
Lu Liang is doing justice for heaven and indirectly protecting the integrity of national information.
