The news that Phoenix Fund and Handong signed a contract quickly spread throughout the country, which is equivalent to the last shoe falling.
Magic City.
On Friday morning, the atmosphere in the office of Xinghan Technology was a little strange. The heads of various departments received notification emails early in the morning and went to the large conference room for a meeting. The Galaxy Group headquarters sent people over.
More than two dozen senior executives came to the conference room, each of them still confused, asking each other for information.
"Old Wu, what's going on?"
"I don't know. I sent a message to Mr. Ren, but he didn't reply. Alas..."
"The company will delay the payment of wages this month. Is there really any problem?"
Xinghan Technology rents a building in Zhangjiang Science and Technology Park in Shanghai. Their business is mainly divided into two areas: Internet (big data, AI, autonomous driving) and electronic manufacturing (radar, instruments and electronic special equipment). One year
The output value is about 2 to 3 billion.
The Internet business is not yet profitable, and R&D expenses have been decentralized from the group headquarters in the past two years.
While they were talking, Director He from Galaxy Group's human resources walked in accompanied by Ren Zhi and a tall beauty.
Ren Zhi was still the same, fair and quiet, but he did not sit at the main seat in the conference room, but sat at the side. After making a brief introduction, he said calmly: "Mr. He,
You announce it!"
Director He nodded and said solemnly: "Good morning, everyone. I came to Xinghan Technology today to announce a personnel appointment. In view of the fact that Mr. Ren Zhi, CEO of Xinghan Company, has lost approximately US$1 billion on the Didi project, the group headquarters has decided
Remove him from his post and appoint someone else."
I go!
There was an uproar in the large conference room. These executives still had information channels. Who didn't know that Xiao Ren was the eldest son of Mr. Ren, the founder of the group! He was actually removed from his position and took responsibility for this matter.
.
Director He waited for the noise to subside a little, and then said: "The group headquarters has decided to appoint Ms. Hua Shan as the CEO of Xinghan Technology. I hope everyone will cooperate with her work. Everyone is welcome."
"Bah bang bang."
More than two dozen executives applauded, each with their own doubts. Can this tall and beautiful girl take on the heavy responsibility of Xinghan Technology?
The meeting ended after thirty minutes. Ren Zhi took Hua Shan to his office to hand over the work.
Ren Zhi's office is not too big, about fifty square meters. It is furnished with desks, bookcases and other furniture, and there are green plants in the corners.
Hua Shan waved her hand and sent out the assistant who was waiting to report her work. She was wearing a LV workplace skirt, light makeup, and delicate eyebrows. She was very beautiful. She walked to the window with long legs and looked at the scenery outside the window.
She is 1.76 meters tall, and she wears high heels. To Ren Zhi, a girl like Hua Shan is really impactful.
"Ren Zhi, your job adjustment is just a routine matter, otherwise you won't be able to convince the public. There must be an explanation for the huge losses. But, you don't really think that I, daddy, want to punish you, do you?"
Ren Zhi smiled bitterly, showing a helpless look, "No. My dad has talked to me. I will continue to take over Xinghan Technology's Internet business in an entrepreneurial way. I am very familiar with big data, AI, and autonomous driving.
This field is still very promising.”
Of course he has to bear the responsibility. However, with his father taking care of everything, he can continue to start a business and make a comeback.
Hua Shan clapped her hands and said: "So, you see, I'm just here to help you. The work handover is not important at all. Let's go out and find a place to have a cup of coffee."
Ren Zhi nodded.
He was about to start a new journey in his life. Looking around at the office where he had worked for two or three years, he felt a sense of reluctance and emotion in his heart.
…
…
There was a light rain in Beijing on Saturday, and people were hurriedly walking on the streets. The chill was even worse, adding to people's sorrow for separation.
In a street tavern not far from Didi's headquarters, Cheng Wei and Liu Qing came by car to drink.
The two of them had just met with Alibaba's Xie Shihuang. He sent an invitation on behalf of Alibaba. But the two of them just wanted to drink alone and talk about Didi's past.
Just a week ago, Liu Zhen, the president of their old rival Uber, came to the Didi Building with his troops to announce the merger of the two companies. Moreover, he gave a speech in English throughout the process, which made Didi employees vomit blood.
.
Cheng Wei and Liu Qing had decided to resign, and they logged into Didi's office system on their mobile phones at noon and submitted their resignation applications.
Although Phoenix Fund still promised to provide a three-month buffer period. But if you don't leave, are you waiting to humiliate Liu Zhen?
There was some fog on the glass windows of the tavern. Facing the street, Cheng Wei and Liu Qing were drinking and reached out to wipe the moisture on the glass windows, "Liu Qing, you are a top student. There is water fog on the inside and outside of the glass windows.
Have you ever done this physics question before? When I was in junior high school, I often got this physics question wrong."
Liu Qing was thirty-nine years old, with an ordinary appearance, a few years older than Cheng Wei. He just smiled and said: "Why didn't I do this question in high school in China? Let's have a drink."
The two are working partners who trust each other and get along well. But they don’t know much about their respective lives, only about their resumes. This is the norm in most workplaces. Work and life need to be separated.
Cheng Wei raised the beer bottle and drank half of it in one gulp, feeling melancholy and asking, "What are your plans for the future? Will you go back to work at Lenovo?"
"Haha, how is that possible?" Liu Qing shook his head, "My dad has made a rule long ago that he is not allowed to join Lenovo even for internships. As the only child, my brother made an exception and interned at Lenovo. What about you?"
Only then did Cheng Wei know that Liu Qing had an older brother. It was obvious that this brother Liu was not good enough. He was not well-known and was far inferior to his sister. "Me? Now Uber is in full swing, but I firmly believe that an online ride-hailing company is
If it cannot cover the national market, I will also look for opportunities in the field of Internet travel."
Liu Qing said with admiration: "Mr. Cheng, I really admire you. So you are an entrepreneur! I am just a financier and manager. I should go to the United States to stay for a while. I am still a little weak in investment banking.
name."
Cheng Wei shook his head, raised the wine bottle, and touched Liu Qing's glass lightly, "I didn't start Didi alone. You must take at least 50% of the credit for it. Liu Qing, I respect you!"
Liu Qing grinned and drank, "I just thought about Didi being acquired by Uber..." As he said this, tears started to flow down his face.
Cheng Wei lowered his head, his eyes slightly red.
Two entrepreneurial stars and leaders in the business world who were once all-powerful in 2015 and 2016, drunkenly helped each other out of the small bar an hour later. The assistants hurriedly came forward to help the two. Just before they were about to leave, the two
All of them were filled with unspeakable emotions and thousands of words, but in the end they only condensed into two words: "Goodbye!"
The world is far away, we will meet again someday. I hope you will take good care of it.
The scene belonging to Cheng Wei and Liu Qing in the world has come to an end. There is no place for them on the stage anymore.
