Lin Yi held a special meeting to scold everyone, not to vent his personal anger, but to clear the minds of everyone in the company.
But scolding people doesn't solve the problem.
Unified thinking is the first priority in team building. If you only tell them what they cannot do, but not what they should do, it will make people at a loss.
"Since the news of the merger of Tuk-Tuk Taxi was announced, the business integration of the two companies is still in progress and is expected to take another month or two to be completely completed."
"By then we will eliminate the negative impact of Tuk-Tuk taxis, shut down this notorious taxi brand, and permanently sweep it into the dustbin of history."
"At this moment, many people are already asking, and we must also answer the question of where we will go after traveling thousands of miles."
Hold a general meeting for small matters, and hold a small meeting for big matters.
Lin Yi only communicated this matter privately with his core management team, Li Moyan, Liu Jianni and Wang Kai first.
Liu Jianni smiled and said: "You frightened them all by having such a big battle today. In addition to acting on your feelings, you should also be confident, right?"
"Stop being so pretentious, just tell me."
Lin Yi did his part: "First of all, I have a suggestion. During the startup period, the company's core management all brought their own dry food and used love to generate electricity, and only received a few thousand yuan in living expenses every month."
"Now that the company's situation is no longer so difficult, I think we should restore their normal treatment and bring the company's salary system in line with that of major companies in the same industry."
"The key members should be promoted based on their contributions in the past few years. To be honest, a company as big as ours needs more vice presidents."
"It sounds like a big expense, but the scope involved won't be too wide."
"I believe it should be able to greatly boost morale and save them from thinking about it all day long before coming up with this so-called "Operation Plan" for me."
"Of course, the company will still provide equity incentives based on rank and performance in the future, but the proportion will not be as high as it was during the startup period."
What Lin Yi said is the only way for an entrepreneurial enterprise to transform into a mature large company, and it is not too abrupt.
None of the other three people objected. The formalization of the company was only a matter of time, and strictly speaking, they and Lin Yi were direct beneficiaries.
Now, in addition to assets, Lin Yi finally had a reasonable income.
"I have been thinking about the future of the taxi-hailing industry for a long time. It was not until Wanli Travel established an unshakable industry position that it was finally put in front of us."
"The taxi-hailing business actually has bottlenecks, and we are all aware of them."
"Under normal circumstances, it may take us ten years of development to reach that bottleneck, but with tens of billions of dollars of investment, this industry has already reached the ceiling ahead of schedule."
"Closely speaking, taking a taxi is not sexy, and it doesn't take that much imagination."
"Jenny told me last time that investors need stories, and you convinced me, so even though I'm not optimistic about shared bicycles, I still invested."
"It's okay to lie to others, but you can't lie to yourself."
"This thing is not enough to form our moat. If we want to engage in this business directly, it will inevitably drag down our performance."
"As for Wang Xiaofeng from Mobike, who we invested in, this guy was extremely honest. He directly said that they had no profit model, and they couldn't think of a profit model for the time being, so that was the end of it."
"They can run blindfolded, but we're past that stage."
"And with the current level of travel for thousands of miles, if you run blindly, you will be driving dangerously, and you will easily hit someone."
"Even if you don't hit anyone, hitting flowers and plants is not a good thing, right?"
Lin Yi told a cold joke and found that he seemed to have taken the topic too far.
"Getting back to the subject, compared to shared bicycles, in addition to our advantages in scale, from a financial perspective, our core business is profitable."
"Jenny knows best. We have calculated this account over and over again. Otherwise, we would not have dared to make such big claims to investors."
"When I say that we will achieve profitability in 2017, it is definitely not a false move."
"To be specific, it's nothing more than cost reduction and efficiency improvement."
"Wanli Travel has not made a profit in the past three years. To be precise, it has suffered huge losses continuously. The primary reason is of course that the subsidy war has never stopped."
"This most important factor, now the basis for its existence is gone."
"We have drawn up a phased subsidy reduction plan with reference to the 2014 armistice experience. The goal is to completely eliminate it before the end of this year, so that next year we can go into battle lightly without any burden."
"The second is management costs. During the crazy expansion stage, our team was over-allocated, and the promotion plan was cost-effective. This actually resulted in serious extravagance and waste, without taking into account the inevitable internal corruption."
"Regarding this, Senior Sister is already formulating the performance appraisal method for the next stage, which will use profit rather than scale as the core indicator."
"Another point that must be paid attention to is that the order sharing ratio must be uniformly controlled by the headquarters, and the following cannot be allowed to do whatever they want."
"We want to make a profit, but not from the drivers of those sports cars."
"Not to mention whether some of us will be stabbed in the spine in the future. If the label of "abuse of market dominance" is removed, the company will not be able to survive."
"In addition, it is the issue of blind expansion that makes me so angry today."
"I always feel that the bigger the scope, the more money we make. In fact, this nonsense makes no sense. It is a bottomless pit with only investment but no output."
"The product line of Wanli Travel is planned by ourselves. According to this standard, Tuk-Tuk Taxi and other messy businesses are no longer the same as their people."
"Chop it off, chop it all off."
"What we have to do is subtraction rather than addition, remove all flashy pretense, and only retain and deliver on the core business that is truly profitable."
Lin Yi finally added: "All of the above things can be conveyed. We only need to know the remaining few sentences."
"The direct reason why I made these arrangements is to ensure that the company completes its listing in 2018 with beautiful performance."
"This is not because I am anxious to realize my wealth, but there will be a window period for listing. Once we miss it, the situation may become increasingly unfavorable to us."
"You may not understand a little. There are many reasons, and I can't explain them all now."
"In short, this is the best arrangement for both the company and us personally."
"We must strictly abide by this timetable, achieve and complete it without compromise, and ultimately achieve all goals steadily."
